MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN 40-60ish

I would like to correct somethng.  I said 'spot' on my pelvic bone.  That was not correct.  The report said 'there was 'uptake' there that was worrisome.  Just wanted to correct that.

BF just picked uo my script and it is for Oxycodone. I have never used it and am afraid it will make me sick. My chest couldn't take that. i just had to cough and that was painful.

Welcome home Dianarose.

Sounds like you got some great advice from NativeMainer. Take the meds with food and curl up to enjoy a movie or a nap...I hated the stupid drains too but at least they are serving a purpose (besides annoying you...lol)...     Be good to yourself sweetie and get lots of rest.  

sissyvonvon - I am praying for you... Hopefully these are the crappy false positives we have all heard about and will be nothing more than a bad memory..... HUGS!!! 

Wishing everyone a great Friday the 13th tomorrow.

Dianarose - so glad you're home! I don't do well with narcotics at all, but don't let yourself be miserable either. 

Morning-I slept sitting up with pillows for about 7 hours. The side she took the nodes is much better, it's the right side that really hurts. Almost like a burning sensation in my ribs. Hurts to cough or sneeze. I got my period this morning too to add to things. I am going to try to move my arms a little more today so I don't get too stiff.

Dianarose - glad that you are home and resting. 7 hrs sleep is a great start to recovery. 

Sissyvonvon - Sorry that you have had some worrisome scans. Hoping that they are not cancer related. If they are, there is certainly tx that can knock them back. My liver mets have continued to shrink since I started tx. 

Hang in there - waiting is the hard part. Come back here often for encouragement and support.

Eli that picture is creepy.  Last month my best friend, who lives in North platte, NE, lost her car.  She was lucky as her husband borrowed it to go to his job at the RR.  Nobody was injured at the yard, but the cars took the opportunity to rearrange themselves.  Bev had a Toyota Camry and a Suburban landed on it.  The Suburban won......

Dianarose I hope you are feeling better with each passing day!

madpeacock it does sound like a perfect day!  It is far too early for Farmer's Markets here, but they are a lot of fun when they finally arrive.  So glad you had such a great day!

Can I request a pocket party for this Thursday, the 19th?  I have to go see a gynecologist about my lovely Pelvic Organ Prolapse problem.  POPP, ha!  I expect he will want to do surgery and hoping it will be my last one for a very long time.

I hope everyone is well and enjoying this weekend.  All in the path of tornadoes, I hope you are safe.  I am thinking of you all.

Hugs,

Janis

I will be there justmejanis... I'll bring some carrot cake (must be good for you as there is carrots in it)...

Thank you ladies!  I knew I could count on you, I always can!

Water is perfect Valjean...I have a huge "Bubba" mug that goes everywhere with me. 

At least I got an early appointment.  She offered up 8:30 or 2:30.  I dread this visit and want it over with ASAP!

I'll be there too Janis! I always loathed going to the ob/gyn...one good thing about having a hyst/ooph is that I don't have to worry about that any more. I'll bring the leftover Easter candy and share it.

LovesChristmas...that is what I thought until my organs decided to move where they don't belong!  It is so gross.  I mean.......I think it is my colon coming down.  It is common after a total hysterectomy which I had 17 years ago.  I have lived with this prolapse for eight years and decided enough is enough.  If this doctor orders surgery I will actually be celebrating!  The leftover Easter candy will be great.  I am such a sucker for sweets!

barsco.....I love older classic rock.  Throw in some Springsteen, Eagles, Crosby Stills and Nash, Eagles, and Tom Petty!  Of course there are many good bands I am forgetting.  I blame it on my meds, LOL!

Sherry bring me some good authentic Mexican food.  Yum! 

janis, I'll be at the party, and I'll bring elastic to stretch out the pockets when necessary so there's no overcrowding

dianarose, glad the healing is progressing...hope the drains come out real soon.

everyone else - hi! sorry I haven't been in much, but I do read the posts more than I answer them! dd's wedding last weekend was soooo wonderful. three days of fun with family and friends, perfect weather, moving ceremony, just great all around.

have a good week buds.

I'll be there for your pocket party janis!!  I'll bring some yummy treats!

Hey Everyone.  Haven't been here in awhile.  For some reason, this thread was deleted from my favorites and I have had one heck of a time finding it again.  There are too many pages to go back and read.  Welcome to all the newbies, congrats to those who have finished treatment and prayers to those still doing through treatment, having tests and waiting for results.

I am scheduled to have a  latissimus dorsi flap on my left side done this Wed morning. I won't need an implant - I am having a significant lumpectomy defect fixed.  Don't know what time I have to be at the hospital yet - will find that out late Tues afternoon.  The nurse at my PS office told me I was on his schedule for 8:30 in the morning.  Will have to stay in the hospital for a 23 hour observation once surgery is over. WIll have one drain for sure - maybe two.  Can't go back to work until the drain(s) come out.  I am excited and anxious at the same time.   Allready have some books on my Nook and a quilt project to work on while I am home.  Need to hear some encouraging words - as the time gets closer the more anxious I am getting.
