Calling all TNs

Heidi - ha! ha! ha! ha!   You made me laugh - your last line read "Gotta run.... time to get the old boobs crushed".  That was truly funny!  However, not too funny the mammo?  Good Luck!

Tifj: Our Dh's sound similar.  When Dh saw me in tears yesterday, he asked what was wrong and I explained it to him.  I ranted, actually stomped my feet, through my tears as to how much I HATE this disease and how unfair it is that mothers are taken from their children, daughters from their mothers, wives from their husbands.........He gave a nice supportive hug and I could see in his eyes his worry for me.  But an hour or two later, he once again asked  What's wrong??....Our dear friends and families can't possibly "get it" entirely.  But ya gotta love em fro trying. 

So glad we have this place to share with each other.  Whether its bad or good or something that has nothing to do with FBC.

Best thing for me today: I went to yoga. It felt good to challenge my body and appreciate just Being.

Inmate - sending good vibes your way! When my FC came back, day 1 - discomfort, day 2 - redness, day 3 - lump. Just that quickly. (((Hugs)))

Best thing to happen to me today was a clean mammo.

I have contacted Children's Wonderlab and am in the process of seeing if a bench is possible. One of LJ's friends had also contacted them, I believe in reference to naming the garden in her honor.

If, for some reason, this is not possible Plan B is for me to contact Longwood Gardens. LJ listed that as one of her favorite places and it is in my neck of the woods.

Having now gotten another clean mammo, with lunch to celebrate, I am out to throw a side-saddle on my former stallion (horse, not husband). I'd like to get back into side-saddle riding.

I've posted this before....

Heidi -

congrats on the clear mammo - I suffer through mine on the 3rd of April.  Love the "Angus and Phil" - truer words never spoken!

Heidi-  Good news!!!! Happy for you.

 Inmate- Thinking of you. We will always be there in good and in bad times. Hugs.

Thanks Kim for the fundraising memory page in Susan's honor. It was good to finally see her picture. She was a beautiful person inside and out.

Hugs everyone. xx

Heidi - Woo Hoo! Giddy Up!

Kim, thank you for the update and the kind words. I am so sorry for the loss of your friend.

Painting - Simply beautiful !

Heather - I hope your mammo on the 29th, is an unremarkable event!

I feel too tired to move. Maybe I'm depressed.

heidi......cingrats on your clean mammo!

Ladies...thanks for all the encouraging words.  I will get the news on the scan later today and am now just trying to stay focused on something, anything really.  I suddenly feel the need to get all my paperwork in order so my husband and family don't have to look for anything.  What I really want to be doing is make jewelry or sew those curtains i've been dragging my feet on.  Digging in the dirt has always been my place of solace but I got that done last week.  Damn you adhd! 

I will wait to post my "best thing" later.  Have a great day!  Love to you all!

Yay Heidi!!

Thank you for the link Kim. A very worthy cause fitting Susan.

Very beautiful Painting!!

Inmate- keeping everything crossed for you!!

I have had this on my mind and while I don't know how it applies to us right now I am going to post it.

There was a blind man sitting with a sign that read: "I am blind, please help." 

A man was walking by and stopped.  He saw that the blind man had only a few coins in his hat.  He dropped in more coins and, without asking for permission, took the sign and rewrote it.  He returned the sign to the blind man and left. 

That afternoon the man returned and noticed that the blind man's hat was full of bills and coins.  The blind man recognized his footsteps and asked if it was he who had rewritten his sign and wanted to know what he had written on it.  The man responded: "Nothing that was not true.  I simply rewrote the message a little differently."  He smiled and then went on his way.  The new sign read: "Today is Spring and I cannot see it."

Though I am not blind, this disease makes it hard sometimes to see.  Thanks for helping me see the Spring! 

Inmate - you said "while I don't know how it applies to us right now" yet by the end of the story you figured out exactly how it applies to us! Just beautiful........xoxo

Good news Heidi!

Stupid horses---- my former stallion (aka Studly) loves to move out in harness. In fact, it's hard to make him stand still (too much "go"). Today, when I put the sidesaddle on him there was too much "whoa". It was all I could do to get him to walk. He kept turning his head around to my foot, sniffing at it and just refused (in a sweet way) to move off. I managed to get a little work out of him but next time, I'll have to have crop in hand to convince him that, yes, it is possible to move in a sidesaddle.

Inmate- that was beautiful. I wish I could sew! I have a great book on different window treatments, but lack talent. I hope you can get a project going, that you enjoy and get lost in. Then send us pics and we'll all give you a big applause!

I am trying to rewrite my 3 address books into one. I will get this done! But doubt I'll throw out the other three

Hope the wait is over soon.

Love that story, inmate.
