    LOL kingjr! I am sure Puff was watching on, pleased with his new found power. He had just gone from being pursued to defeating his pursuer.

    Veggy, Thanks for the update. Glad you're home where actual rest is possible. Not possible in hospitals IMO.

    I went to bed a little early last night. Now I am awake and starving.

    Tuesday I got all marked up for surgery. We got a hotel room and stayed the night. We found a chinese restaurant and ate. I was able to sleep with the help of my anti-anxiety meds. 

    I got to the hospital early on Wednesday They took me to a private room to register. They had me and my DH walk to the operation area and we hugged and hugged once more. I walked to the OR room and froze in the doorway. That's when I got nervous. I was in surgery for 4.5 hours. I woke up in the recovery room. I didn't get sick. I heard the nurse say that my husband could come in and then I went back to sleep. 

    They took me to my room and the nurses were in and out all night. I'd sleep for 5 minutes and wake up. I had a catheter. I never had one in my life. I must have drank 3 pitchers of water suring the night. I had no problems... just felt like a truck ran over my chest. I had a normal diet and kept everything down. I was up and walking on Thursday.

    The nurses were wonderful and so was the surgeons. My mom and dad and some friends came down on Thursday. They were surprised to see how good I looked.I haven't looked at myself yet. I'm not brave enough. I have to massage my TE's downward as much as possible. 

    They released me on Friday. The plastic surgeon wanted me to go home and get some rest. My room mate and her family were very loud. My youngest son came with my DH. He just held on to me. My older son stayed home to help straighten up the house. His choice. 

    I have to take little walks today, drink lots of fluids and use this stupid breathing machine to exercise my lungs.  Tuesday I'll find out from pathology information on the cancer. I'm not going to worry myself about that. Right now I just want to grab some toast and have a little bit to eat. Then I'll go back to bed.

    Love you all!

    Gosh, VEGGY, sounds like you really had quite the operation.  I'm so glad you're home, and your children sound so sweet.  You asked how I was, and I'm better, just keep waking up too early last couple days.  Your cat is funny.  I hope I have you straight as being the cat person.  I was thinking it was NANCY who had the cat.  SIGH.  EDIT:  Caught this one in time, at least on the same day, but it's NANCY who DOES have the cat and asked how I was.  As they say, I won't be signing any important documents anytime soon.

    I edited my previous post, CROG/CINDY, to fix my mistake of calling NANCYnow by your name, but I reckon we all are familiar with this sort of disorientation.  Actually, I'm confused right now, so sorry if I manage to goof up this post, too, so just ignore me and plug in the right names!!!  I am so ashamed, my posts have so many edits from last two days, sorry! 

    In mountains of NC the "heat wave" made it kind of stuffy outside, got up to 97 degrees, I think was the final verdict, with 100 being the record.  We had a slight breeze, tho, and shade makes all the difference.  GG

    Dogeyed confusion is my middle name!!! I didnt mean to upset you. I am lucky sometimes that I remember who I am!!! At least you remembered a name... Sometimes (no lots of times ) I am struggling to remember someone's name or trying to remember what I wanted to say, etc.. It has definitely gotten worse since being diagnosed with BC so I am wondering if it is all the medicines I have taken or am taking...

    Hi, Veggy! So glad you're home!

    I told my PS he was my new BFF when he said I'd have a catheter after surgery. No struggling to get in and out of bed just to pee!!!

    And after surgery, when I finally got to my room, I didn't wake up til 1 a.m. By then, DH had gone home, and I was in a private room (thank God). I was so chatty I talked to every single person who came in to check on me.

    Then I'd fall asleep and have these huge long dreams, where I was traveling...full of color and interesting details....and I'd wake up and think "Oh, that was a nice long nap!" and look at the clock and only 5 minutes had passed.....

    Anyway, hope you have an uneventful recovery with good healing. Just rest and relax.

    Gentle hugs to you!!!

    I hope to get to NY....maybe This year....and if I ever do, I hope we can set up a get together.

    I wish I could go right now....my youngest has quite the little princess attitude going on right now. She wont even speak to my DH and he's done 90% of the work for this party! And spent about $2000 inthe process....NOT EVEN A THANK YOU!!!!!! I know who raised that child and this was not in her upbringing. I want to crawl in a hole and just stay there....

    ((( Fuzzy ))) I hope the little princess has brought herself back to reality by now. I got an attitude like that when I was about 15, and I will never forgive myself for what happened from that. We all know shit does happen, and it doesn't happen at the most convenient times. This is why it is so important to let people we know we appreciate them and to enjoy life each moment. There is no time for harsh words.

    Veggy so happy things went well during surgery. Here's praying your recovery is uneventful.

    Nancy I think SKK just wanted to know he'd be in a place he likes. The traveling is the part that they don't like, unless the end destination is the vet ;) I'm sure he's thrilled to be home with you.

    Dune I very much like the idea of a spa at home. Once we sell the house and move (just preparing to sell now) I will keep that in mind! I can't do much do to breathing issues but bit by bit I'm sure I can create something I like. I hope you create exactly what you want and I'm sure you can get it done without many delays :) lots of rest and enjoyment to come!

    Fuzzy I hope everything has gone or goes well with her party and that she returns to her normal loving self soon!

    My mom had a lovely celebration for my retirement. I got to her house while she was still at the gym. Shen came home with a container of large steamed shrimp. That was our lunch. Then she gave me a happy retirement card and a bag of pistachios as a gift. I love pistachios. Then, for dinner, she made crab cakes, german potato salad, and coleslaw. She made a fruit cocktail for dessert. It was very nice.

    Soooo, now I need to get with that whole gym thing. I'm hoping I get to the gym tomorrow. I have a few other things to do as well, but the gym needs to be at the top of the list.

    I'm excited!

    Just got caught up on the reading, forgetting already...so, i WILL Try to hit the points I remember.

    Dunes---you are officially retired/disabled --congratulations.

    Veggy and or Gail---Post-op the long amazing dreams, then you wake up and only 5 minutes have passed--COMPLETELY NORMAL

    Veggy and or Gail---Whomever got walked to the operating room----barbaric---never ever let it happen again. Tell them you want a shot in pre-op while laying on a stretcher and the drug of choice is VERSED, Has amnesiac quality---won't remember anything after about 5 minutes. Specifically, why the drug is used for surgery.

    Catheter ----yes wonderful-----if ever needed again ask that it be written in the orders for a 14F(french)...whole different feeling from a 16F.

    OOPs forgetting----No mouse with this computer , many steps to go back and look at what I'm forgetting.

    AHHHHH forgetting-----Anesthesia has the similar affect on the brain that chemo does, can take many months to recover from---each individual is different.

    Tool to suck on to expand the small sacs in the lungs--------Great Machine----changed history when it was introduced in the 60's--------helps to prevent post-op pneumonia. I consider it one of the best INVENTIONS of the last century. Simplicity, inexpensive------and has saved more lives and post-op illness than can be counted. Prior to it's introduction, it was common to have post-op pneumonia. If properly used , avoids it. 

    Fuzzy-Gail said what I have to stop myself each time from saying "Fuzzy Wussy". Princess is going to have a hard time in life if she wants to spend money like that. I get what you are saying that you didn't teach her that. But she will always have money troubles. Is this the right Princess? Or someone elses princess.     Glad  camping trip a success 

    Nancy---Yay on so many levels-----Mom doing good ,SKK has a place to stay when you are gone, Wish Big Brother wasn't watching-----what a huge uncomfortable feeling. At least you know the are watching.....So many workers are oblivious to this until the hammer comes down.

    Granny---have fun at GTD's 4th BDP

    Blessings--great advice.

    Grog hope all is going well>>>>walking better?

    Please, if I've forgotten anyone, forgive me........Have a great week, feel better, enjoy

    Dune...IM STILL WHOOTING FOR YOU!! My DH has named my office "the Zen den" and my gardens are my sanctuaries. My plans this week are to organize the Zen den!! We'll see about that; )

    The grad party was good. No thank you from JBaby but everyone had a great time and ate very well. On top of her being mad at me, now my oldest is...she wanted to kick people out because they were drinking. She's really against it. I would rather drinkers stay and be safe. I just can't seem to do anything right lately. Sigh.

    DH did a great job on many levels...he tolerated and socialized with my ex AND his family. That was huge.

    I see my MH doc on Friday. Is it weird to feel like I'll be disappointing her? She really is trying to help me....

    I'll finally have acupuncture this week....totally looking forward to it!! And, I have a dentist appt too. Not as excited there!

    whew. The party is finally over. The rollercoaster wasn't fun....I'm hoping that's done too.



    I so need a hug.....pill fairy has visited...I'm going cross eyed so I should stop typing!!



    Nancy, SAS, Addey....if any of you would like to chat Tomorrow, I should be free and clear about noon.



    Nighty Night All!!!

    SAS. Thanks for asking... Yes the walking is getting better. Still have more work to do though.. Have used up all of my physical therapy sessions but my PT is trying to get me some more. Let's hope the insurance agrees with her that I need more!!!!

    THREE CHEERS FOR DUNE !!!!!!!    Oh, lady love, how I dream for you!  I'm dreaming of when you get your stuff done today, you will well and truly STAY HOME.  How dare thee go to the gym!  Have you lost your mind?  That's okay, you'll get over it in a big hurry after today.  Hahahaha.  Oh, I'm a terrible influence, but I know how to have fun, that's for sure. 

    FUZZ, ohhhhhh, I cannot wait to hear of your experience with the acupuncture!!!  It was all I could do to submit to massages one time when years ago I got so tense I could barely walk, but I've seen the needle thing done and it's like magic.  But you've inspired me to get a massage now, or as my husband says, "I'll get it done before the next millenium."  GG

    ((( Fuzzy ))) I wish it could be a real hug but it is the best I can do for now. I do hope the rollercoaster ride is over, and acupuncture, if it is anything like what I used to do and have done, will definitely help you with that. The dentist? Well. I never really had a problem with the dentist until the past few years. Then have all gone insane with their pricing, and there is NO good dental insurance. Well, at least as far as I know. So now I'm afraid to go to them for fear of their bill. Anyway, I can't afford one now. I'll be doing the old folk remedies if I need to. Meanwhile, I'll start working on a set of wooden teeth.

    Hi everyone. I'm back after a short hiatus. And it took me some time to read through days of posts.



    Veggy - so happy you're feeling well overall. Glad for you that it's over. I wish you a speedy recovery.



    SAS - I got walked to the OR for my exchange. It's a strange feeling walking yourself in there. I didn't even have to walk myself in for my lumpectomy... Yes, ask for the pre-anesthesia cocktail before getting wheeled in



    Dune - congrats to you!



    Crog- isn't PT great? It helped me so much after my MX. As much as I lived going, it started to take a toll on my wallet so I haven't gone back since the first week in June...



    ((((fuzzy))). Lots of hugs



    Nancy - I'm so glad for you and your family with your moms recovery. Sounds like she really is a miracle.



    Hugs to everyone I may have forgotten. I'm having vacation brain right now. Just got back from Atlantic City yesterday at 5 then by 6 we were at the carnival in town with the kids. There till 9... Had to come home and get y daughter ready for camp this morning and had to be up by 6:30 am. In the midst of this, I'm trying to figure out how to get out of this financial pickle I'm in. The problem is, I just spend to much money... I'm behind on some bills and really f-ing up my credit. Not to mention I have no idea how I'm going to pay for the BS bill I just got which is almost $1000!!!! I'm thinking of taking a loan out on my 401(k). That should help a lot. I hope...



    Sorry for the rant. I had to as it out loud to someone, but I can't tell anyone here. Thanks for keeping my secret ;-)

    Lauren welcome back.. Your secret is safe with me. I owe lots of money to the hospital and I just pay them a certain amount each month. Not sure if I will ever get it paid off!!!! Is that something you could do with your BS bill? Just a thought....

    Yes PT is great but if my insurance doesn't give me anymore visits then I will be paying out of pocket. Not sure how long I would be able to continue if that is the case...

    Lauren that is awful. Hope by now that you have found it. I am sure you have tried to retrace your steps from yesterday. I have done the same thing (just not with a wallet yet). I usually am able to find the item but sometimes takes many frustrating hours... I am hoping and praying that you are led to its location soon....
