Fuzzy's Romp Room

JEANIE, the Lyrica is a cousin to the Neurontin, so could be it won't work for you, but at least for me I didn't have all this awful stomach upset and this goof-up in my thinking that Neurontin gave me.  But Lyrica DID make me sleepy for a few days and then I built up tolerance.  I went to my cancer clinic yesterday and I forgot to ask them about that sore spot I got, too, right in the middle of where my boob used to be, that I mentioned before might be like yours.  SIGH.  But doc said that area was recovering fine.  Now, this is unlikely, but Jeanie, one of the girls in another forum I've been visiting for many months, she's had to have several surgeries, and one was to straighten out infected sutures!??  I wonder if a scan would find something like that, or maybe they can tell infection from simply bloodwork?  Anyhow, you can ask your doc.

THIS ONE IS FOR FUZZY and FOR SHEILA: 

As for WHERE IS FUZZY WUZZY, she disappears from time to time, as do I.  I just wish I lived near her so I could hang out in her kitchen and she in mine, and our dogs would have play dates.  OHHHHH FUZZY, let me share something with you.  I know you've come on here and cursed your workplace a few times.  My first and last jobs were at the newspaper office, worked as writer and editor most of my life, but one time I had this petty job with a bunch of clique-ish high schoolish brats, and I'm minding my own business, and another girl who was half my age interrupted me whilst I was talking to a customer on the phone (it was a call place), and she loudly told me twice to just hang up on the customer.  I finished the call LIKE I WAS TRAINED TO DO, and quietly told her never to do that again, to stay away from me.  WELLLLL, you'd have thought I just sank the Titantic, becuz HER supervisor came over to me and chewed me out.  I went to her desk as soon as I had a break, and apologized for whatever I had done, I briefly explained why I told that girl to stay away from me, and asked did that sup have anything she was holding back about me.  No, she said.  WRONG. 

A week or so later, I get called into a room with all the people above me EXCEPT MY OWN SUPERVISOR who liked me fine, and anyhow, they started pulling out papers about stuff against me, minor crap, and how I'd been unkind to another employee.  Believe me, if I had been unkind, EVERYONE in the place would have known about it.  But it was in a quiet but firm tone I went over and privately told her with, and when the sup above my sup heard me say about how that stoopid girl had told me to hang up on the customer, her eyes grew so wide I thought they'd fall out onto the table.  SHE knew the rules.  So, I SHOULD have taken that as a signal I was saved, and used her to plead my case, but instead I went with hurt feelings and like an IDIOT I told them to all shove it up their asses (but it did feel good).  Luckily my old newspaper pals took me back, and it was after that that I had to quit working because my back got so much worse. 

I jus don't like to see my fellow cancer sisters cry.  So, Fuzzy, this hug is for you {{{{{FUZZZZZZY}}}}}} and so is this:

BABY YOU'RE A FIREWORK, come on show us what you're worth, give it to them OH OH OH !!!! GG

I miss Fuzzy!

me too!

Today I have come in for a hug - I lost a friend to colorectal cancer yesterday at age 47 and am feeling sad and teary.  She was too young and I miss her already.  I went for a bone scan and CT scan and was thinking about how I hated being at the hospital but will need to spend some of my time for my treatment.  Just a hard day!

Nancy........lost my mother to colorectal cancer......of course she was older, but lost her just the same............It is so sad how one disease can take so many.................I also lost my father 1 year before my mother, and my husband 7 years later to Pancreatic cancer, at 57, so I am very familiar with cancer, and have been down the path too many times............

It never gets easy , but as time passes you learn to deal with it a little better...........hugs to you

Mamglam-

Here's a big bear hug for you! I am so sorry about your friend.

Thank you ladies for the hugs - I really needed them today.  The support here always makes me feel good.  It was a very difficult day for me as I heard the news in the morning and then had to go and get my diagnostic testing to check for metases.  I want to ((((((((((hug )))))))))) you all back.

Mamglam - so sorry for your loss. Sending lots of bugs, love and strength your way.



Ducky - lots of hugs to you too. You've dealth with this stupid disease way too much.



When I went to the MO for the first time I remembered they asked me for a list of immediate family members that suffered from some form of cancer. Unfortunately, the list was way too long. All the grandparents, my father, uncle... Here' to prevention, early detection, and hopefully finding a cure for EVERYONE!!!🍻



I do have to say that I had a really emotional night last night. I am part of the 9/11 health registry and they call every so often for an update. They ask a lot of questions about the last year, month and two weeks. One question was "have you been diagnosed with cancer in the pas 12 months?". I never thought I'd have to answer yes. Then they ask a lot of mental health related questions. Depression, feelings of self doubt, feelings of letting people down. Ugh, I answered yes and often to so many. I think it just hit me last night what a worldwind this has been. I sat in my room and cried for a while... So many emotions about being dx and then about 9/11 came rushing back on this stupid call. I've been avoiding it, but my husband encouraged me to take it... That day was the last thing I needed to think about while im home recovering...



Thans for listening ladies...

Lauren........thanks for the "hugs", and back at cha girlfriend...........you too have had a difficult time............but we are in this together, for the long haul.....................We will comfort each other.........

I got a "thumbs up" today when I went for my 1st mammogram after being diagnosed........this time last year I was waiting for surgery............God is good...................
