    Barbe, the avatar is from a website, hyperbole and a half, I can highly recommend because it is very funny.



    Mariegal, I will certainly try when the time comes.

    Reesie's arrangement has over two dozen flowers on it so far.  It should look very nice when finished.  Post a picture from your email tomorrow, Eph.

    The woman at that flower store was so sweet. She described all the flowers to me, saying how many of them just began opening yesterday and will be in full bloom tomorrow for the service. It makes me proud to be a part of this group ... not that I needed reminding, but ya know what I mean :)

    Joni, luckily it'll be a Friday so you'll have lots of us on board (ha, little pun there!) to walk you through the posting!!

    dgcote, Normally, I believe they use the blood thinner, Heparin, to keep the port clear; but you are correct that for stubborn clogs/clots they are not above using good ol' fashioned Draino!   LOL!

    Barbe, the avatar is from her story about trying to be a grown-up. When she decides to act like a grown-up, one of the things she does ia to "clean all the things." Then after a bit of time, she loses the desire to act like a grown-up, and when she contemplates cleaning she asks herself "clean ALL the things?" and looks very sad. That is the avatar.

    BARBE-This strapping young man asked if he could join in our pocket party today for you! Said he wouldn't miss it for the world!! And since you are the lady of honor, you are the first to get the oil rub down. He says he'll be there at 2:30 to start the massage!! Lucky gal!!!

    Marple, Thanks, I've corrected that.  Wrote the other when tired last night.

    Leg?  Are you sure it's not the back of a fair-skinned man?

    Ok Eli why do all good looking young men have to go THAT way? Can't we just pretend that they look at our fluffy middle aged bodies and think "damn, I gotta get me some of that!!" A girl can still dream, can't she??

    They are pretty sure the new bony overgrowths aren't mets...must be osteoarthritis. She does want to see me in 6 months intead of a year, though. My PCP did increase my morphine by another 50% on Monday, though..... She (my onc) offered to send me to an ortho, but I don't see the point unless he can do something, which I've already been told he can't. So onwards until I either break and collapse or my legs go numb and then they'll go in. The bony overgrowths are impinging the nerves coming out of my spine. I was very worried about the bone scan. She did say there was some uptake, but that would be expected with arthritis, too.

    Barb so happy it is not mets. I hope you can find some relief.  Nothing worse than being in pain.

    I am getting ready and nervous for my exchange surgery on Tuesday.

    Barbe, I know we share a lot of similar tastes, so here's my contribution toward helping you feel loved ... he was thinking about you when this pic was snapped!!!

     Sherry, he's hoping that your exchange is painless. Just think of his smile!!!
