I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Thank you for setting us straight on Chemosabi...now i know who you are talking about. Another great Angle from a few years back.

Lorazapham.....good for sleep deprivation and anxiety. But who's anxious from this s--t?

Well, here I am. I ran out of coffee and donuts, but thankfully our esteemed bartender had provided some excellent Merlot which I know you all loved. Hope the ride wasn't too bumpy in my bag.

Everything in my surgery went more than fine - I am home now, going to work tomorrow and my biggest personal complaint is that I HATE sanitary napkins but have to wear them for a few days to cope with the residual bleeding, since Tampons are not an option. (TMI sections ends here - lol!)

I wish I could go for a long walk. I am energized and restless. I woke up from surgery and wanted everything off my arm ASAP. Lionesses like to be active - when they aren't sleeping.

And this is how well I felt: As I was changing back into my clothes, I thought of Nicky, whom I never knew personally and thought how YUCKKILY DISGUSTING it is to have to deal with dreadful cancer and suffer and die from it. I am so fortunate today. Even if my procedure does not work, I have much to be thankful for, unlike Nicki and all of you here who knew her so well and are hurting at the moment. Hugs to all of Nicki's friends at this time, including Bren, Blue, Shokk, Cherryl and all of those who are feeling her slip away.

Thank you for your thoughts in my minor procedure. Going under is always a time to take stock of one's life and evaluate how well or whether one is loved, and whether one has done well in this world. I have had seven chances to do that since early 2009. It is never a light moment, although I couldn't care less about the dangers of surgery, frankly (I am more afraid of boring people). I can't help extending my energy to Nicki as I go on to a guaranteed recovery that she cannot and will not experience.

Ann - I never wished you a happy birthday - so HAPPY BELATED ONE!! 

E - You were surely a wonderful guest for Colombia to have. 

Here's to boredom and silliness!

Glad to hear all went well Athena and that you bounced right back from it.  Now crossing fingers that it solved your problem.

Night Rosemary.   Wishing you a good scan report!  And you too Susie ... silly and boring are lovely words.  Who knew we would grow up to appreciate nothing more than being told we had 'nothing remarkable'.

Lighting a candle for Nicki ...

Found DH finally - he came home eventually (he'd gone to pick up the bike he will be riding this weekend) and of course asked for lunch.

OK It's official I am really boring - thyroid biopsy B9. Still have to think about getting the goitre cut out at some stage but at least there's no hurry. DH insisted on coming, so I let him. He is so damm pessimistic I could kill him sometimes. I made him promise not to get so worried in the future and I promised I won't keep anything from him again.

Relieved Susie

Great news about the biopsy susie. Husbands can be so aggravating. Edited to take out my awful grammar.

Thanks for the GOOD NEWS Athena - here's to only a few tampon days in the future( TMI)

Blue, GORGEOUS.  Thank you for the beautiful pictures.

Rosemary - all digits crossed for your scans.

Bren, and all those who knew and loved Nicki, no words.  A terrifying paradox ( any wisdom to share, Chaplain is much appreciated) making friends, being so open. literally making & living with friends in this online world, and geographic world for many, people who are suffering different stages of what we're experiencing, and then having to say goodbye.  Don't think there's any other way to live with this F@%#^!#@ing Beast - don't know how anyone lives with this alone,and no words for the pain of saying goodbye to a dear friend who is so much a part of the support of our everyday lives.

No answers, a lot of crying, and prayers, and a strange kind of hope, that those of us still here can find some way to comfort each other, and be silly, and remember, and just go on....

Great news Susie! Now we need to hear the same BORING news from rosemary about her bone scan. Waiting to yawn. 

Mary 

Since that just looks like a smiley that had bad plastic surgery on her lips ...I just want to say hugs and kisses to everybody and I will be home feeling silly late this afternoon.

Hi, again, Athena - but the underlying fact is that CORPORATIONS are using BC to make sales. $$$$$.  Haven't you "clicked" yet to drive traffic to another website?  NO?  Me neither.  If a HUGE French conglomerate, which just happens to own Stoneyfield can't part with some $$$ without having 100,000 people driving traffic to a website - whoa, sad, sad, sad.  Maybe some of the executives at some non-profits will have to reduce their  high SIX FIGURE salaries...do ya' think?

Love being dairy free BTW, no more sinus infections ;-)

Boy do I feel silly!

The bone scan report says no evidence of metastatic disease.

And it will be five years in February so after my appointment in January I only have to go back every six months.

And I got a referral for a colonoscopy. I tried to get an appointment the last time I saw my family doctor but left there without it.

AND I gots me some Xanax for the next time I worry myself crazy over scan results. (Sorry grammar people)
