Rant on...

CELINE----one thing LOL--u got our attention.

U must be in the "waiting" room right now--it's worse than enterin sometimes. Waiting, tap, tap, tap, is not fun--u have no idea what's going on and yet u have a feelin everyone behind the scenes knows. But when everything is put together and a plan goes into action in some ways it's more calming. 

Oh how I can relate to that .... the waiting is horrendous!  Mine wasn't a clear cut case so it went on for 9 weeks, during which time I nearly lost my mind.  Things will get better once you know whats happening xxxxx  

Rant all you want!

It was like having a freight train roaring through my brain. After my bc diagnosis, I first posted here at about 2 in the morning. I couldn't think, couldn't sleep. My son was two and a half, and the previous evening, I nearly put him into the bath without testing the water temperature! Only his toes touched, but it was enough to scare both of us! (I had to step in and stand in the bath water for 6 weeks after that before he would get in.)

I asked "how do you get through it?" And I had 5 responses by breakfast! And 18 by dinner! I wish I had copied them- they were so helpful! One was to get a notebook and keep everything related to my treatment or appointments in it. Another was to take a digital recorder to my doctor's appointments. And there was an attorney in Washington, D.C. who mentioned a med called Ativan. She said it calms you down without making you loopy. Since I was now worried that being too scared to think straight was messing with my mothering, I asked my surgeon for it. It got me through to surgery, and then I didn't need it anymore.  

((hugs)) Donna

rant away...no problem with that here!

that stepping on Legos is horrid!  my son to this day remembers me yelling about his strewn about and getting stepped on and he's 25 next month.  LOL

10 things to piss me off

1. Body odor...waiting 2 hrs for an appt I looked around, swearing on whatever pig chose not to shower that day...realized to my horror it was me, freshly showered chemo stank from the cancer boob armpit (TMI I know, never had BO before cancer)

2. Body odor...doctors office...not me

3. Body odor...in the elevator and I can't get out..not me

4. "You are so strong, if anyone can beat this you can" ...fukc off , my strength, tested many times before didn't ask for a beating

5. "Can I put you on hold" NO, fukc off, I have better things to do with my time, like poop, sleep , eat and take my meds

6. "You don't go out as much, not feeling well?" another genius in my midst 

7. "What would you like for dinner" really, like I know , just put it in a blender add ice and pass me my meds

8. "It will be all over before you know it " alrighty then, won't touch that one

9. FEAR, cancers best friend, need to beat the shite out of that fat bastard

10. I f'en HATE  cancer, pisses me off 

Have a great day! 

Someone told me yesterday, that I needed to relax and not worry so much. He said, because you know worry and stress can feed and allow cancer to take hold and make it worse. Really!?!! Did you really just say that to me!!?? People really need to think before they start flapping their gums......

Ok just had to get that out......



Oh, something else I hate, those recordings everyone has when you are on hold...

"we appreciate your patience and apologize for the inconvenience",

Well guess what, I have NO patience and I don't accept your lousy, insincere apology!!



.....stepping down now, feel just a little bit lighter, thanks!

Oh my gosh... this is the best ever thread.  Can I join in?  I love to rant?

I think you have most of my fav rants listed already, here's a couple of mine at the moment:

1. Being told I look good.  As opposed to what?  I am bald, no brows or lashes, have one boob, 2 drains hanging from me, lost toenails... but I look good - thanks.

2. Being told "hey at least you dont have to go to work"... like WTF?  Yeah, so much better to have had 6 months of chemo, sliced a boob off but hey I dont have to work.

3.  You are so strong, and so positive - that will get you through this.  Yeah like I have a fucking choice.

4.  waiting, waiting, waiting... I hate waiting.

5.  Being asked 'how are you' and when you tell them the truth that you're pissed off they respond 'really why?'

6.  So called 'friends' not calling anymore.

7. Losing concentration - thanks chemo brain.  I love reading, but if I put a book down, I have to go back a chapter to find out how I got there???

8.   Corporations jumping on the think pink bandwagon - pinkwashing.  Cant wait to see that movie

9.  Christmas Carols in stores in November or sooner - grrrr !!

10. No energy

Well I got on a role then.  I could only think of a couple when I started this post... and there we have 10.  thanks, felt good.

'I love reading, but if I put a book down, I have to go back a chapter to find out how I got there???"

Me too, how about starting a book club Lol

BO, pinching my nose already  

Caryn, I get sooooo frustrated too, hang up on myself, redial once, two times, three, hit wrong buttons, redial again, message back on, wait, wait, more wait, then I hear the dreaded click THE MACHINE HUNG UP ON ME, wahhhhhhhhh !!! 

Well, I checked out that book club link and it reminded me about The book, A walk in the woods, loved that, gonna read it again. Too funny! So thanks!!
