Bonfire of the Goddesses

hell, I want the whole pitcher

Me too,  ready for Sweet fire, A serious taste of the fruits Gods has given us. How much better can that get. AHHH yes one thing could be better--------- no mosquitoes LOL's  I just have too learn to do less. If I could just stop those damn cigarettes , I think life could be perfect.

LYnda Thank you re: the Rosary and Namaste. The comfort of both has mended me in many ways. Believe it or not on Catholic Match.com I was called a pagan for doing such a thing. Well there loss. Beauty of thought is beauty , no matter where we find it. On Fuzzy's romp room I said it was like being wrapped in gossamer wings with butterflies and essa's flowers. All the people I could keep in my mind to pray for that were praying back. What a comfort. L&H&P's Sassy

KING there are laws in certain states that allow for redress when they get it wrong. Don't know which states , but saw it here someplace recently. Hope you can find it , or someone recognizes it and rebrings it back up.

 Anyone see Aussie sheila lately?

Speaking of "raising"....and perky too!

I'm back fro the biopsy. The first poke was the most painful. The doc gave me lots to numb it. I have two "nodules" so all together they took 10 samples. I sitting here with my ice pack on, waiting for results. That will take a few days. SO... in the fire goes all the needles and procedures that make us say, "OUCH!"

Veggy - don't forget to throw in the bruising. 

I have a terrible history with brusing and bleeding.  I had all sorts of tests done because I can't stop bleeding normally, even after just paper cuts.  All the tests came back negative to blood disorders.  I dread biopsies and surgeries because I know what the final result will be.  Imagine having a nurse hold your breast for an hour because it won't stop bleeding from the small needle hole after a biopsy.  Then all the blood that is trapped under the skin turns all shades of black and blue and green and yellow.  Whoa is my life.....

Veggy -  hoping for B9 results! 

Was at the beach from Fri-Mon, so just getting back into "normal" things. Here's hoping for B9 results for all those waiting on tests, and hoping for better days for those who just have "sh*t" going on...

I had my last chemo tx last Thursday, so I suppose it's time for me to start tossing things on...

- Like the transfusion room schedule that turned my 2 pm appointment into a 4:30+ and waiting ordeal. Didn't walk out until after 8 pm (the staff was not happy either)

- And has anyone discovered whether metamucil turns the flames bright colors when it burns? I remember stuff we used to put into the fire when I was little to add colors. It would add an extra thrill to toss my bottle in and watch it go all rainbowy... but I still probably need it for a week or so.

- The parking ticket I got last week after my PS follow up (urgh. Okay, that was my fault for parking on the wrong side of the sign. Chemo brain.)

I can tend the fire for a while if anyone wants a break. 

Hi all,
I've had fun reading some earlier posts as the fire's growing...trouble is, I'm a saver and I couldn't think of anything to toss....but I am getting there....squeezed out tubes of Aquaphor were tossed...and I'm done with the pamphlets even though I got more last week...I'd like to burn them in my fireplace.  And I want to finally toss in my MO who has never returned a call even when I told the NP I was having strong angina after starting Arimidex.  I managed it all myself, stopped the drug and had a heart cath and am OK....but when I went back to her she said "We have to get you on a drug that you ARE going to take"...as if I had been misbehaving while I clutched my nitroglycerin.  I had to inform her that one of the treatments for non-cardiac angina is to take estrogen; duh - um if I suppress the estrogen, more angina?  TOSS the MO and her condescending research prima-donna attitude.
((((Granny)))) what a week - you are always giving to the people in your life and you deserve to be pain free. I am so sorry about your friend and the grandmother who have passed.  There are no words for weeks like this.
Veggy, sending thoughts and prayers for a B9 path report.
Joan

Grannydukes, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear friend. Stand here with us by the sweet fire to be warmed.

May G-d send you comfort.

Leah

 Grannydukes - ((((hugs)))) and to everyone who needs one.

here here, I have to wait until next month for my hysterectormy.  Mostly due to job constraints, getting someone extra to do my job.  It takes 2 people to do my job when I am away from office.

Granny - Bowen thereapy for sciatica.   Search therapists online at http://bowendirectory.com/  tis the homeopathy of chiropractic abd body work.  Gentle movement over muscles reminds them to pull the body back into place skeletally, to release their grip in such as sciaticaand carpal tunnel.  Quite affordable and effective quickly.  Godspeed.  I needed it for CT a decade ago and after one treatment was fine for almost a year, then a treatment and fine for several years.

Sas, it is so good to have you back.

Veggy, been thinking about you, I know the waiting is hard.  What are you doing for yourself?  I am trying to learn to sing again, I forget then sing some more.

Jo - someday I too will consider a little bit of recon, for now  dealing w a little  bit of multifocal.  Onto the fire with lumps, bumps, nodules, tumors, masses. 

The vet story -  DD was on way to sse house we are going to move to.  She went around corner in country and there was a big caat on side of road, had been hit by a car.  She arrived w cat inone of her newspaper carrier bags, quite upset, doing all she could to find help for the cat on teh phone but it was Saturaday evening.   I called my vet for ER service and the main vet whom I have issues w answered, he was at office already.  All this vet was interested in was being paid, charging us $110 for opening the office (one of my IV treatments for week plus fuel to go there) and $60 for euthinizing (a bottle of supplements I have put off ordering for almost a month due to finances) and I was quite put off that he was not going to help this poor cat who was suffering, dying,  if he was not paid.  His attitude sucked.  I said we were looking for someone with a heart.  Eventually he said he would take the $60 and DD drove cat to office.  She said he was horrible to her, would not even look at her, demanded payment first.  An example of someone going into med prof for love of money instead of lovve for the animals, or who has burned out.  Called the vet's office Tues to speak to MY veet whom I adore, and when she calls I will talk to her about the poliicy and how we were treated.  There needs to be real options for these situations, esp off hours, and from now on I will keep a list in my car on who to call for assistance. That is why vet went on bonfire.
