I blame everything else.....

veggy - so sorry you are struggling, all of this is so hard, sending you some strength and a hug.

veggy - Ahhh - I do care! I can't imagine having to go more than one round with this beast, it is no wonder you can't sleep - I wouldn't be able to either!  Don't know what the solution is, and I wish I could help you with some specifics. 

I'll be the invisible dancing bear on the end

(((Veggy))) I'll be in your pocket. It is never fun to go through. A support system is here for you though. We all care!

Somer I have no sea near me. So I'd love to live vicariously through the photos when they're up There's no water near me really. I miss it sooo much, that and real green, trees and color. The desert makes everything look kind of bleached out. I have pictures of autumn and cat tails from Iowa and Ohio hanging out in my bedroom to make me happier lol.

Fuzzy grats on the Graduate! I'm sure she's happy to be done with high school and looking forward to life. If you get up to tidy the house I will be impressed (not surprised because I know you can do it!). I hate housework and it is just not something I'm motivated by lol. I'm trying to get up just to have some fun!

veggy - since I too will be at the plastic surgeon tomorrow (seriously) I may arrive late in your pocket!  Try to get some zzz's.

VEGGY, I'm in your pocket, dear one.  You just do what you're comfortable with.  I'm just sorry you have to deal with this all over again, but you've been showing a lot of strength, and this too will pass. 

I'll be sending my alter-ego to some chores this morning, groceries, bank, pills.  I can hardly wait to get home with those pills, I've almost run out.  Supposed to get them increased in September by my neuro.  I've been walking more and more with the dog in the yard, it is really helping my ability to stand up longer before my back goes, smoothing out the joints.  I'll never be what I was, but there's hope for a few more simple things.  Before cancer, I had almost given up.  But getting rid of cancer freed me somehow.  Love to my sisters, GG

I'm late getting online today, so I'll be needing the special time turner bus to get to everyone's pockets. Been to the eye doctor today so everything looks funky - and of course it is blindingly bright outside. going to close the curtains now...

I love my plastic surgeon! He took the time to explain every single detail again and again without complaint or hurry. I didn't feel rushed or like a fool. I feel so much better about the dicision I have to make.

I'm so glad the pocket bus travels faster than the speed of light. Thanks everyone for being there with me. 

Teresa- I was in Peoria, AZ. I teased my friend that I wanted to go outside and see if I could fry an egg on the road. It reached temperatures over 115 when I was there. The Grand Canyon was nice and breezy. 

Oh veggy im sorry i missed the bus and the pockets BUT you know you are always in my thoughts and prayers.Stay strong sista you have an army of sistas behind you.

veggy - yay for a good PS appt!

Thanks to all in my pocket or wishing me a good appt - I will be having some fat grafting on July 6th - they offered me Friday, July 13th - I don't feel lucky enough to risk having surgery on Friday the 13th, so I politely declined, lol!  It turns out that my PS and I both broke one or more toes within the last week or so - what a weird coincidence!  Sas - hope we got home in time for the BBQ!

crog - hi!  You didn't miss anything, just embarrassing to tell this story - while rearranging things in the back yard on Sat. I was lifting a plant out of a wrought iron plant stand, caught the edge of the pot on the top rail, knocked the stand over onto my toes, while wearing flip-flops!  Foot/toes are now an assortment of colors, and I can't bend the middle one - when I bend the other toes it looks like I am flipping someone off with my toe - pretty much that is the only humorous part of this!  It hurt like an SOB too!  I broke the pinky toe on this foot in '09 - arrived for vacation in Italy, within the first hour I drop the suitcase with wheels on the toe!  I am my own worst enemy! I have no business complaining when you have gone through so much with legs and feet!   

Hi, I'm new to the room.  Know some of you ladies from other threads.  I wanted to jump in and tell Nancy......No, don't do the Amtrak vaca.  I went from NY to Arizona several years back and it was a complete nightmare.  Did you know that Amtrak must share the freight rails.  This means that if a freight train needs to get by the Amtrak has to stop and wait for the freight to pass.  This could be at a station or somewhere along the line where there are 2 sets of tracks.  This causes delays.  My trip was delayed so many times to and from that we ended up being behind schedule.  I missed my connecting train in Chicago coming back because we were 11 hours behind schedule and had to take a plane back to NY because there was no other train (Amtrak paid).  The delay was because a freight train had derailed and Amtrak had to wait for it to be cleared.  They also ran out of food on the return because there were extra meals to have to give to the passengers.  There were so many other things that went wrong.  It was so bad that I wrote a 6 page letter to them detailing all the problems we incurred and ended up with me getting a 100% refund from them.  What a nightmare but at least I got my money back.  Also, it ain't cheap.  Flying is much cheaper and faster.  But I hate to fly, so by car is my only alternative.

Thanks for the heads up, KING, on Amtrak.  I reckon it's best to go when time isn't a factor, except for connections, I had never thought of that.  We were going to wait until we retired to take a trip out West so we'd have lots of time, and get off at various key points and wander, then call for when to come back and catch the next train.  I love the sleeper cars, I know they are costly, but I knew it would be best for husband and me, even for the short trip to D.C. from N.C. that I still think I might can do.  Well, maybe not... 

Lots of tore-up toes today!  But CINDY, I am really happy to read your leg is so much better since the operation.  That felt good to hear those words, "...I am enjoying life again."  Hon, I know how you feel, on account of I have lots of pain in my back and when it takes over, it's all I can think of, such a struggle.  You had a long road of leg trouble, to be sure, all the way back to our chemo days last year.  VEGGY, it sounds like circumstances are coming around into a proper resolution, so you can jump off the diving board and make it thru another round of this EFFIN BC treatment routine.

I watched "Apollo 13" again on free Encore the other night, and it made for a positive knowing moment in my psyche.  Sometimes I'll go around the house singing a song I think I made up, but perhaps I heard it singing in the church, "Oh, Lord, I need some raising up!"  And seeing the earth and moon in the movie, I knew in my mystical self, that all the people will come in sync with our world before too much longer.  I've been feeling it under my feet, in my mind, and now it's in my soul.  God bless all these women here, I love all of you so much.  GG

Veggy---DAMN THE TORPEDEOS ! FULL SPEED AHEAD MATEY!.

Sas - you make me laugh.
