Texas

You will love this.  Turned AC off last night during the storms.  (We had one blow up several years ago with a power surge with lightning so we turn it off).  Came in tonight from work and it was 86!!! in the house.  My first thought was OMG the AC has gone out.  No DH just forgot to turn it on this morning.  He was home until 1100 you'd a thunk it was getting warm in here by then.

Done with rads last Wednesday.  Beginning to peel underneath.  Yowee!!  Go back to MO next week for Arimdex prescription.  Life moves on.

Just checked radar.  May be in for more storms later, some up by Wichita Falls.  We weren't supposed to have them last night.

Gee wish we could have some of that rain.

Jo - we're on opposite work schedules.  I'm just starting my busy time - now through the end of September.  

Wonder if all the Texas folks hadn't marked this as a favorite & it got lost in the new format shuffle.

Yea i did lose some of my fav's too! Took me a while to figure it out!

Been busy with the last few weeks of school here! Hardly get time to pop on! 3 more days!!!!! My kids are excited but prob not as excited as i am! With chemo going on again i would love to be able to sleep in instead of getting up super early to get them up for school....

I am going to see a lot of TX this summer via state parks!!!! Dinosaur Valley in July, along with colorado bend.... then gonna hit some up that are closer to the boarder, llano, devils river (i think), garner,  and the list keeps growin!

Maybe ya missed it, maybe I forgot to post it here LOL- who knows. Yes, my cancer came back. Started chemo at the beginning of the month. But being stage 4 i was prepared for this to happen so no worries. GOD IS GOOD! I look as it as an excuse to visist San Antonio every week!

I live near MDA in Houston & it's where I go. Pls pm me if I can help.

Timothea my prayers are with you girlfriend.  I know you have a strong faith and that will help you through this.  God is good and hopefully this chemo will be you back to NED.

Gina I would love to get together for lunch.  Maybe we could work it around Timothea's schedule since she is coming to SA weekly.

I hate when it gets hot here in Texas.  Went for my walk after work yesterday and it was 94 degrees.  Thought I would pass out before I got home.

Aw dont cry Jo- you know I am one tough cookie! You'll see- i will get through this like i did before!

Thanks Sherry! 

Hey Jo and TexasRose!   I would love to meet y'all for lunch in Falfurrias.  When y'all get together, let me know!  Jo, I see you just had LD flap surgery.  I am supposed to have bilateral LD flap surgery in June, but am still not sure about it.  How are you faring?

Welcome tisthyme - I am 6 weeks out and doing very well.  I go back to my PS on Monday to talk about a little revision work that needs to be done.  I saw the area and was going to mention it to my PS but he beat me to it and said he definitely wants to do some fine tuning.  The surgery and recovery was not too bad.  I did have to have a second surgery done the after later my LD flap for a hematoma.  It can happen but is rare.  I was back to work in less than 2 weeks and still had 2 drains.  Most of my work is sitting in front of a computer - I just got way too bored at home.  I am the manager of a 55+ park and we are very slow right now.  I live on the property so I could go home anytime I needed to.  I am glad I got it done.  No regrets.  Are you having LD flap with implants?  I did not have an implant - I had a significant lumpectomy defect I wanted fixed.  We would love to have you join us for lunch.  I will keep you posted on the date.

TexasRose - Just let me know when you are back home.  We can look at a date that doesn't interfere with your chemo.

Jana so glad you got your last drainout and that everything has gone well for you this time around.  The Dr's at PRMA are amazing.

Sherry, I am having the surgery in SA at PRMA.

Jo, glad to hear your LD flap surgery went well and you are healing fine.  Yes, I will be having TEs then implants. He told me to expect 6 drains! WTH am I supposed to do with 6 drains?!  Oh well, I will climb that hill when I get there.  

Texasrose, I hope the chemo knocks out the FC. Prayers and Love to you.

tisthyme-PRMA rocks as well as Methodist Hospital.  I have to say it was the best hospital stay I have ever had.  The floor you are on is only breast surgery patients so all the staff are specially trained.  I had Dr. Ledoux, but I think all the surgeons at PRMA are great from what I hear.  I am thin and decided on BMX with TE's and alloderm and had two drains. I will have my exchange done tentatively the end of August. Jana just had hers done with PRMA as well.  I have never heard anything bad about any of the Dr's there only good.

Texas Rose, crap, I'm so sorry you have to start chemo again. I'm with Jo, I know you have done this before but it's just not fair, why can't this damn disease be eradicated??

UGH.

Thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers........
