    I notice you have super-sized your wine glass.  I bet it started out full...or are you just a wild grandma that will bust-a-move with the MJ crotch grab while still sober?  Hee-hee, and a ha-ha-ha!

    Ha Ha, I wish it had started out full.  I might have to actually fill it at 8 pm tonight to watch my MSU spartans play the Wisconsin Badgers!  The MJ crotch grab was done totally sober - how sad!  Thanks Ya Ya - we are so fortunate to live on 10 acres in Mid Michigan and have beautiful views and wildlife out our back yard!  Thanks for the compliment.  Thankful for my hair, health and my NED - I was bald two years ago and got really cold about now.  Don't forget your hats when you finally get some cold weather!!!!  love your picture, you look adorable!

    It's wonderful that this thread has so many posters that the pages fly by ... but it's hard too, if you only have a smalll window of time to come and check them out! 

    SuzWes, good to see you hon. Love your pics.

    Sherry, we'll all be hiding in your pocket as you go for more tests hon. Adding my B9 wishes along with everyone else.

    Reesie, you never cease to make me laugh girl! Take care of yourself and follow orders - at least a little, okay???

    YaYa5, I do understand.  I'll pray your blood counts aren't too low for tx.  My counts were low only once, I felt bad but tried to work through it and then waited too long and ended up in the hospital for a few days.  I hope you don't follow my lead and I hope you will get things taken care of immediately if you don't feel well.  The faster they can get a handle on it, the better for you (of course you know that).  I'll be thinking of you and feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

    Marlegal - I've missed you!  good to talk to you again.  I'll never be able to catch up with this board so just going to try to pick up on current pages.  

    Again, praying and thinking of all of you, especially those who are having a difficult time right now.

    I was off here for a couple of days so missed the updates.

    Sherry....I can only say how sorry I am that you have to carry this new worry!  You bet I am thinking benign for you!  You will be in my thoughts and always count on me to be in your pocket for upcoming tests and/or procedures.  Big, big healing hugs.

    suzwes.... I absolutely LOVE the view out your window!  I moved here a little over a year ago from Wyoming.  We had a couple of acres and I miss it so.  I live in a subdivision now and it is not my thing at all.  I love space!

    All the breakfast goodies look divine.  No tea for me, but I'll have some of that coffee!

    I wasn't very mysterious this weekend.  The MYSTERY PIC is pages in a book and it took mumayan all of two minutes to guess it!  She gets to post the next one next Sat.  About half of the rest of the guesses said book of some kind, so you were all on the right track, but this week timing was everything.

    Hi Ladies,

    I wanted to write and say thank you. You have all made such a huge difference in my life. The past week I carried all of you in my back pocket as I visited second opinion docs--surgeons, plastic surgeons, etc. and I have learned every which way each doctor would re-excise, place implants, transfer tissue, add scars to my body, etc.  It really helps to know others have gone through this really long process. Thank you! Kiss

    Oh Claire thank you for the wonderful kitty pancakes!  I had a difficult night with pain at my surgery sight and broke down and took my vicodine.  So I have slept in this morning and now seem to be in a fog all day.  The coffee is wonderful too Kay.  It's so strange to have the pain after so long without any problems.  Could it be that I maybe did something to strain the muscles and aggravate the scar tissues??  Well, it's better this morning and hope there is no return tonight. UGH!  Kitty

    Kitty...boo, sorry you are experiencing this pain.  I don't know what may have caused it but hope you don't have a repeat anytime soon.  Is it better now?

    Kay, LOL on learning to post pics!  Once I got the hang of it I had way too much fun.  Your breakfast choices look wonderful.  No eggs for me, but that bacon and those pancakes and everything else on that plate look heavenly!

    Okay, I've been WORKING and was pages behind but I actually read it all. That Pierre dog has some attitude, he made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that and all the virtual treats!

    The advice about avoiding LE and taking the risk very seriously is much appreciated and I will follow it. Getting needle sticks in my left hand for the rest of my life is a small price to pay for reducing the risk of lymphedema in my right arm.

    I saw my BS recently about the slow healing of my breast after brachytherapy (like yours, madpeacock) and she thought it was just fine. The incision and lumpectomy area is finally no longer red at all. Guess I just didn't realize 2 months was a reasonable time to wait for healing! She didn't seem to think I needed to see a PT, just advised me to massage the area "upward and downward" now that it's healed, to clear out the seroma that made it feel like I had half a brick stuck in that breast. That seemed vague and for some reason I didn't ask her to demonstrate but I've done my best and the lumpy-bumpy stuff is smaller as a result. Anyone know where I can see a diagram of how best to do post-lumpectomy-healing massage?

     My armpit is still numb and I think it will always be. I asked my sis (BMX 2008) and she said "numbness is the least of my worries."

    There's an awesome organization in my area called Livebyliving.org which sets up hikes for cancer survivors and caregivers. DH and I went on the most gorgeous 3 1/5 mile gentle hike with them this morning, up a little canyon in the foothills, filled with trees and shrubs in their fall colors. Two of the new friends I've made through those hikes, both 40-60 women like us, have become long-term-disabled because of their cancer experiences (one lymphoma, one ovarian). Don't you just hate that? But I love that they are out in the woods soaking up the beauty. Wish I could send you all a pic, but on my first post-surgery hike I fell down and broke my camera.

    My very best wishes to all of you!

    Hello suzwez - LOVE the pic. And by the way, what messy kitchen?? I have been cooking up a storm the last couple of days and it shows...

    Thought my Mammosite site was healing well until last night. Felt swollen and puffy and just pushed "slightly" on the bulgy boob - GUSH!!!  Whoa!! Gushy - like - soaked the top of my jeans...Nothing today, thankfully, and swelling is down. Pretty scary, though. 

    Love the breakfast pics. My hubby was looking kind of pouty today and finally admitted he wanted pancakes, bacon, eggs, the works. Dropped him and DD off at IHOP and let them get their feed on while I finished up errands (since I can't eat that stuff..) Happy family. Made fajitas tonight with fresh margaritas, so I'm now good too.

    Hope everyone has a great week!

    Hi donna and welcome.  Im sorry we have to meet this way.  The gals are very helpful around here.  If you have any questions just post away.

    I have had a busy busy weekend and now its time for a busy week.  Will the madness ever end.  I have alot of testing to get ready for so I will get to study away.  Good thing I am the instructor and have the answers, lol.  No I will be a good girl and not use my book to study I will use the same one the guys have to study with.  Since there is some new welders I still after 10 years prove that I can weld circles around them.  Oh how I love to put them in their place, but it drives me nuts doing it after the millionth time.  Maybe if I get a strap on I wont have to do that anymore.  

    Have a great day all!
