    Hugs veggy.

    Wow, I got a sunburn. I had a nice couple days at the ocean. However, I did learn that I really am no party animal any longer. I didn't like the drunks. I didn't like the nightclub. OMG. I swear people were having sex on the bar stools and people had their hands places they should never be putting hands in public. I was embarassed for them and embarassed for when I was young and did similar things. I was not as obscene as seems to be standard protocol nowadays. I just wanted to get out of there. I have become a prude. Of course, I guess it didn't help that I felt so not sexy and oh the cigarette smoke! I swear my throat feels like I smoked. It is so scratchy. Although I did not like the clubbing, I did enjoy just relaxing at the house and betting on the horses.

    Awwww, Veggie, here's a little hug for you:

    I really do not like MRI scans at all.  I've had one for my brain and one for my lower back.  The brain one, it was so noisy in there, took forever.  Then the lower back, I went into one of the "closed" scanners, my eyes could just barely see out, I had already taken a tranq to go there and they gave me another when I got there, and since I have panic disorder and it started to kick in despite the meds, deep breathing was the only thing that got me thru. 

    I much prefer the CAT scan, it's fast, easy, not claustrophobic.  It might not show every nerve, sinew, and blood vessel, but it shows abnormalities pretty good.  In the future, since it's my neuro who always wants one of those dang things, he'll have to settle for a CAT scan.  I mean, on TV in those ER reality programs, they all do CAT scans. 

    LADIES, the hug I put is for all of you, too.  And, you know, I tried to think of something I could do for myself today, and first thing that popped into my mind was NOT to brush out and wash the dog today.  But he needs it, so I'll wait until Sunday!  Always, GG

    Thanks for all the hugs. I took a pill and slept like a baby last night. I really needed a good night's sleep.

    Yeah for sleep Veggy!

    GG thank you for the hug. :) I think you're sweet as sugar.



    Bad news....baby puppy would have just been hit by an SUV if it wasn't my neighbors that were driving. I've been working with him and he's done well...but he's a wanderer....I'm off to buy a shock collar. I didn't want to do it but I would go into a coma if something happened to my baby. I'm so upset about this. Our yard is entirely too big for a fence of any kind...so, I think this is the best choice. Oh he's not going to like me anymore: (

    Veggy - I hope the poop Fuzzy wanted you to dream of was to pile on your onco, sounds like soon to be former onco. (((((BIG HUGS)))))

    Chabba  - I would guess since nearly everyone has dental fillings MRI doesn't affect them.  But have never had one myself.  Now dental implants might be something entirely different.  I think they are set with a metal post.  But a very good point for us BC gals to remember to ask about.

    Fuzzy - Yeah for neighbors.  Doggy will forgive you.  Better sad, mad dog than the alternative.

    Dunes - Me no party animal either.  Had a verrrry weak margarita out last weekend.  But fixed a too super strong mojito Thurs. night.  I hardly ever have any alcohol; probably 3 weeks since I had anything before the margo.  Makes me too sleepy and I do work paperwork in the evening.   Needless to say no paperworkie done that night.

    Nancy - ((((BIG HUGS)))) for you too.   You are in my thoughts and prayers.

    Hope everyone has had some special time like Fuzzy suggested/wanted us to have.  HUGS for all that I have missed.  This too is one thread I read everyday among the OMG 70 I have as favorites.  Can you say I need to take some off???  But hopefully retirement in Dec. so not removing them yet; fingers crossed it will work out.

    Love the group hug fingers, Fuzzy.  Might have to use that with a patient or 2.  Think I might get in trouble though for marking with a Sharpie.

    Prayers for those in south Florida and Gulf Coast.

    Still sunburned. My cockatiel, Peaches, was walking all over me and it hurt sooo bad. I even covered myself with towels. His claws still hurt. My mom keeps insisting he needs his nails cut, so I decided to do that. Poor baby! He bled so bad. I clipped 2 but both bled, so obviously I stopped. I was able to get the bleeding stopped with styptic powder, but before I did that, the towel I was holding him in was badly stained in blood and there was blood all over me and the couch. Poor thing looked like he didn't know what had just happened to him. I will NEVER do that again. He seems to be OK and is in the cage for the night.

    I got a case of the blues. I hope it goes away soon. Maybe the extra discomfort from the sunburn is doing it. Maybe it was from feeling so distant from everyone else while I was at the ocean. Whatever. I'll get over it. I have a busy week ahead. I take Puff's body to mom's for burial tomorrow. On Monday I see the shrink and the orthopedic doc. Tuesday I start school. Wednesday is my new pre-op date. Thursday is school. I think I have something on Friday. Then Saturday, school again. Then the next week is my exchange surgery on Tuesday and going to school on Thursday and Saturday. It just makes me want to sleep. LOL.

    Simply Audrey - yes that sweet potato was a veggy.  Today was my cheat day, I was not going to make it until the 31st w/o sugar so today I had it and now I can make it LOL

    Hugs for Veggy and everyone, Dunes too, and yes for me too the party animal days were over a long long time ago, I never enjoyed it at all anyway.

    Click it click it click it for 162 pages of animal hugs to make you happy for a very long time.  

     

     Had two days w Hubby, he got off Fri morn, so just been hanging out, going to festival, flea market, auction and watching movies.  I do like the new weekend off thing, after 32 yrs of the weekends being sparse, this is great.  If I can just myself to bed by 10:30 and up at dawn to work, I have it made.

    Good to read all your stuff for the last two days, always makes me happy.

    LOVEEssa

    LoveEssa...what a sweet pic!! I still giggle every time I see your avatar!! Oh that face!!

    Dunes....you ok darling? You've got a lot going on...I want to "sleep" a lot too. I call it my cave...my little escape.

    Oh I can't imagine watching the birdie bleeding all over!! How much blood could they actually have! I accidently clipped my oldest DD nails a little too close when she was an infant and I get the heebeegeebee's to this day when I think about it....she's 20 now.

    I didn't have to use the shock collar even once today....he was a very good boy. But, I'll be ready with it. I almost want to get it over with...I've heard you only have to do it 2, maybe 3 times.

    Apparently its sort of like trimming a dogs nails, harder if they are dark colour cause you cant see where the vein ends. I'm sure he knows you didnt mean it, and yes for a small creature they sure can bleed a lot!

    Okay loveys, going to pull a mama on you-Ya'll are  to self absorbed in your own problems---Nancy lost her father, with uncountrabale errors in his care.  Recently, has gone through the crisis of her mom having a sudden cardiac event that < 1  survive----then she losses, her dad to multiple medical errors.   GROUP- Get your priorities straight.. Nancy needs support by prayer, words of support. It will take years for her to overcome from the studpity and errors.  Been there done that.

    SAS, you're right. Nancy is going through a really rough time right now and we need to be here for her.



    I do have a question though - how many of you are on Tamoxifen? I went to the onco yesterday for my 6 month. I figured, why am I going? I got the MX so I'm good... She said she reviewed my results again and the margins weren't and clear as she thought the first time, and because there was so much DCIS and LCIS, there is a possibility of it coming back so she strongly recommended me taking it... I'm not sure how i feel. My mother, of course she had to talk to her friends, says its kind of routine, that everyone goes on it...



    Meanwhile in the office, my husband almost passed out again. He turned pale white and got sweaty and dizzy. That happened in the BS office when we talked about the MX the first time!!! It's cute!



    I'm exhausted but can't sleep. Had the marathon of all days - block party and kids birthday parties in one big festival of food, cake, music and friends. Lots of fun and so tired but I'm not sleeping. Ugh, how annoying!!!



    (((((NANCY)))))

    (((((veggy)))))

    (((((everyone)))))



    Will try to sleep now

    Fuzzy, I hope theshock collar came with good instructions. Using the shock collar correctly is the key to it working. I know you are afraid to use it, but using it correctly will be good. We have no fence here, 5 acreas, and have to take the big dog out on lead. 

     I use a bark collar for my small dog, as soon as he puts it on he stops barking:) It is the sort that the dog controls, if he barks more than very quietly he gets a little correction, if he barks more he would get a stronger correction. He learned this on his first use and gave us the peace we needed from crazy yapping. 

    Hugs everybody, it has been ahard week for so many.

    Nancy...you've been in my thoughts non stop. Although its difficult to have any words to bring you even the tiniest comfort, I hope you know I would do anything to ease your pain. You are surrounded by white, healing, peaceful light as you are a beautiful person. Please call if you need a shoulder or an ear.

    Lauren...margins were not clear??? WTF???? I'm on Tamoxifen. My medical Intuitive says its not helping or hurting. It does seem to be pretty standard. Are you going in to get clear margins? What does all of that mean????

    SAS...I can only speak for myself, but I hope you know how deeply I care about Nancy. Sometimes, it becomes so painful when any of my sisters have agony that the words are hard to find. It isn't that my priorities are messed up...but that my heart is breaking. I sincerely hope that Nancy comes here to find her sisters stories and gets to be in this world....if even for a moment...and I would tell my mother the same. We all handle our selves the way we do....and that's what makes the Romp Room special. No guilt....no apologies...no smacks.

    LeahLee....WELCOME ABORAD!! TOOOT TOOOOOT!!! Come on in, grab a padded room and get comfy! I pm'd you yesterday and I'm delighted you found us!!!

    Today, I'm moving my youngest into her dorm. Its an emotional day for me. She's more than ready and I'm just not!!



    ((((((((Hugs))))))))

    Aw Fuzzy I remember doing that with my kids. gives me a catch in my throat just to remember.  I always made their beds before I left. That felt so important to me. 

    How far away will she be?  

    I am sending you hugs

    I had my DD at Northwestern, a son a Valparaiso in Indiana and 2 sons at Bradley.   DD did first year at New York University, private but huge and in Grenwich Village Manhatten. I was SO glad when she transferred to Northwestern!     

    Good luck today.   They can come home for weekends if they want. That is so nice.

    Hugs Ginger

    DD is a therapist, all three sons are in sales, two with business degrees and one an engineer. 

    DD took a few years off to work before grad school. A good decision I think.

    Have a good day with your DD.
