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

Rosemary - so sorry about your friend, sending a hug.

(((((Rosemary))))) sending love and hugs your way. Your friend lives on in the love in your heart. She clearly touched many lives in a positive way, and her goodness has made a difference in the world.

My dh finally made it back home.  He has been gone all but 2 days in over a 3 week period.  Now that I have adjusted to him being gone -he is getting in my way!  Next thing you know he will go upstairs and take over the remote to my TV in the bedroom and we will have to watch what HE wants to watch.

Then I wait for him to fall asleep and I go back downstairs to the other bedroom and watch TV until 1 am.

I gave him leftovers for dinner tonight - didn't feel like cooking a meal after cleaning my house all day long and running laundry.  Oh, and I had to go to the grocery store so basically from 11 am to 7:30 pm - I was working being a good housewife.

It is going to be a long weekend!

I think you should write. If you are talking about thyroid medicine (none of my beeswax, but it just occurred to me), making adjustments based on faulty lab tests could potentially have made your condition worse.

I'd also put in a word to the state regulatory body of the company that analyzes drug tests. The feedback could help other patients.

Sun, google something like "Massachusetts board of medicine" and see if there is a place to complain about labs. If you find the name of the lab, you can also file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau - you contact the BBB closest to where that lab is based. A final option I can think of is to contact the MA department of business regulation and see if you can find a section for testing labs.

Bren

just pm'd you....let's do something SPECTACULAR...

Bren, I was thinking if she had a "special" hobby, we could send her something related to that?    Isn't her daughter's wedding soon - hope she'l be ok for that?  Or did it already happen????

Yes, please include me on whatever we're going to do for Blue. I have her address already and I'm planning on sending her a card. I was wondering about her daughter's wedding as well. My brother had Parkinson's and it can be a nasty, nasty disease. Sometimes the treatment is worse than the actual disease, and it sounds like this may be so for Blue. I'm sure thinking of and praying for her.

We are having a beautiful Mothers' Day weekend here in the Seattle area. It's supposed to get up to 80 tomorrow which is just perfect.

29 more days of school before summer break(but who's counting???)

Mary 

Edited to add: Susie, I don't think I've told you how beautiful your new grandbaby is! 

Thankyou Mary - he is cute - last I heard on Friday night they were still in hospital. I expect she'll call today as it's Mother's Day here today too. They had taken him out of the special UV crib, so they were close to going home.

I do so miss Blue - so sorry she's not well. Please send her my love. The new format would probably keep her away anyway - still annoyed it's all so big.

Our weather is SO glorious - 80 today and it's supposed to be Autumn.

Did a big clothing shop yesterday. It seems Aromasin has made me gain a lot of weight (my excuse) and my work suits didn't fit me anymore - had to climb up in our wardrobe and find the old ones. I decided to buy a couple of new ones and the store I went to had 30% off everything, so I got 2 new suits and ended up with 5 new work shirts from different stores. I'm taking one shirt back today - decided it was too shiny - grey with silver stripes - weird - don't know why I bought it. I now have a pile of stuff to get dry cleaned and then I'm all set for whenever winter hits.

I was OK on Arimidex so I just don't know. I haven't changed what I eat - admittedly I'm naughty all the time but I don't eat a lot. I did tell the onc and he said they've done studies that show it doesn't cause weight gain - go figure. I'm back to the weight I was before bc - I miss being 22lbs lighter. Maybe this is my 'natural' weight

Ok, if anyone is interested in helping a lovedon to quit smoking, I finally put together some posts on my thread that explain how smoking affects cognitive function. I link totudies....those studies also state that cognitive decline can be reversed with cessation.

I have been so "on the ball" and precise since quitting. My general intelligence was not affected, but I think my brain is more finely tuned. The difference for me has been amazing. I did not understand WHY this was so...until I stumbled on some studies.

Read on....

Happy Mother's Day to everyone who is a mother!

Why thank you. Since we do not celebrate, I have to get my congrats of the interwebz, lol.

Did anyone see Google's ADORABLE Mother's Day homepage. Go to google.com now - before Midnight. :-) The two little o'o's jump on the second 'g' and give her a kiss and flowers. I do love Google's artistry.

susieq58, I know how upset that must make her. My first was a preemie, and we had to put her under UV till it was resolved. I will keep good thoughts the levels come down quickly so he can be back home with his family.
