    Hey Rider!  He's all of 42 pounds but he thinks he's way bigger!  LOL  We just don't tell him the truth!

    This little pup is all mine.  He was suppose to be for my DH.  Long ago, when me and DH met, he talked about having a dog.  So, for Christmas, I got him a Rot...110 lb dog.  They became best buds and it stayed that way for 12 years...until that aweful day.  When Ali was laid to rest, my DH went into a depression.  He lost 20 pounds and cried for many weeks.  He knew he would want another dog, but needed to wait for the right time - the dog would find him. 

    I was out of town and DH sent me a pic text - it was the baby.  DH found a pup and I could hear it in his voice when I called him.  A piece of my DH was found...it was a very happy day.  24 hours later I was home...with the pup...and we really connected.  We were a pair.  I felt TERRIBLE that I stole this puppy from my DH, but everything happens for a reason....a year and a half later, I would experience wicked horrible sickness for months from chemotherapy...and the baby pup was by my side (literally) the entire time.  He stayed by me for the entire time I was bedridden...not asking for anything...just being there.  DH and I talk alot about how the baby found us...and why he found us.  He is very special to me and we are very connected....I don't know how that little guy knows what he does, but no one messes with me without going through him first!  He sleeps with his head on my leg, or his leg on my leg...he is treated as a member of my family at all times....he's my baby.  It amazed me that, even as such a young pup, he cared for me the way he did.

    I should edit that to say...I am all his....not, he is all mine.  This little guy has me wrapped around his little finger...

    I just got a call. Someone cancelled their PET scan today and they wanted to know if I could come in. I'm a nervous wreck. I hate those small spaces. I gotta find my sleeping mask. I gotta breathe! This was supposed to happen tomorrow not today!

    Condy - I don't know what to say but I'm sending you a great big hug!

    Fuzzy, speaking of dogs........one of my daughter's just adopted a dog from a rescue......it is part (not even going to attempt "chihuawa" jesus I murdered that.......but I digress.....................it is mixed with something else don't know what but this friggin dog is gorgerous...................she weighs 3 1/2 lbs.............absolutely the sweetest thing I have ever seen, and friendly, which is odd for "that breed" which I dare not try to spell again.

    Would love to have it...........her name at the shelter was Trinket.......my daughter is calling her Sophie.........hate that name, but it is her dog, but of course I had to tell her I didn't like the name.................she laughed............I thought Trinket descriped her perfectly.......she looks like something you could hang from a bracelet...................her little coat for the cold weather is an XXS, and it is too big..................hahahahahahha

    Gosh - It's too QUIET on here.  Veggy any news of your PET scan?

    Cindy - Glad you are doing well in rehab.

    Missing Dunesleeper. Not been on since 10/3. Anyone been in touch????

    I'm fine luvmygoats. I have been reaching the falling asleep stage before I have been able to get on here. Of course, as soon as I stop trying to hold my eyes open and lay down, I become instantly awake. That has been frustrating.

    I am horrified at what has happened to Cindy but very proud of her for keeping such a great attitude about the loss of a limb. That is major stuff, but Cindy is pushing through, doing her rehab, and looking toward the future. Big kudos to Cindy.

    I finished the first part of the A+ class with an A, so I don't go back to school until next Thursday. I will go to the Cyber Club meeting tomorrow, though.

    I am highly cancer-aware. I worry about what the onc will say when I go see her in a couple weeks. I'm dying to know if my cancer marker test showed any elevation. At the same time, I don't want to know.

    And now my eyes are getting sleepy, so I will stop here. Best wishes to you all.

    Dunesleeper - Good to hear from you.  I hear that voice, "You're getting sleepier and sleepier".  I'm a night owl but work unfortunately thinks I should be out being productive by at latest 8-9.  Need to spend a couple more hours on paperwork here.

    Great to hear of your computer class "A".

    I know about the "awake".  I sleep instantly when I hit the pillow but wake up worrying about stuff about 4 am, doze off/on until about 6 and get up.  Put in some time on paperwork and drive off to the big city of Ft. Worth.

    Bestest wishes for your upcoming onco appt. Know about the want to know/no, don't tell me.  Have had couple followups since rads finished and a mammo on LX side.  Curiouser to have the other side done now but have to wait for Jan.

    I haven't heard anything about the Pet scan. I don't care. Been through this once before and it showed a false positive. I'm starting to stress over chemo. I take the chemo tour on Thursday.

    My oh my...its just after 4 am here. Normally I don't get on the boards but DH is asleep on the couch. I see my PS in 12 hours. I want a date to start the recon...I hope I hope.

    Veggy...I'm in your pocket (totally wasted and body-surfing the crowd) on Thursday. Is it everyday? I hate that you have to do that again. Its so unfair. I'm hugging you right now...

    Dunes...have I told you that I admire your language...how you word things?

    SASSY....I'll be out of town til Sunday but we should catch up when I get back.

    Crog...wow wow wow. I'm pretty sure you're an unstoppable force!



    I'm having a hard time finding and organizing my thoughts right now so I hope they came out well enough. So....good mornin' sweeties!!! Lets kick this day in its ass so Its starts out in the right direction!

    OH Nancy, The shit storm will stop and then just intermittent rains. Like last week I passed a bladder stone cuz of Miacalcian. Looked at the stone it was perfect, one for the textbooks and I said to myself should save for the doc, then threw it away.--duh in 40 years I'd never seen such a perfect stone. Duh so much for nursing mind jumping in LOL--It was off, But in a previous time it was never off. Blessing or Loss?

    Measure how much Mom's drinking to flush the bladder, and how often she goes, and fluid retention-at ankles. A chart helps. Sorry you had to be close to where your Dad was. I'm hard pressed to even go to the same hospital DH was in b/c of the remembered errors. Rosary. L&H&P's sweetie

    LMGTS and fuzzy ---sleep oh glorious sleep where did you go?

    I am still sore from that miserable PET scan. All the muscles in my chest are stiff. I hurt all last night. I had the wildest dreams last night... waking up in rooms that had no doors, my grandmother driving a car (she never drove), and my three year old nephew.

    Yesterday I cried. I cried because I hate cancer. I cried because I am afraid of chemo. I cried because I want my sister here with me. She called me later that afternoon and told me that she was crying and wanted me to visit. I swear we have some kind of twin connection. We are 10 years apart. 

    Fuzzy- Thank you for the hug. I needed that. You made me cry in my cereal.

    I have to keep myself busy today. I have some very ripe bananas that need to be turned into banana bread. I might have enouh to make a cake too. I have two sons I have to keep fed. 

     Have a good day everyone!

    I am still in rehab. They are going to evaluate me today to see how I am doing and when I might go home. I spend 3 hours exercising everyday here. Well I did have Sunday off. The 3 hours are split up in 1 hour increments. Still I am very tired when the day ends. Had a great nights sleep last night. Course I am still on pain pills which help with the sleep.... Will keep you all informed on when I get to go home...

    (Loud scream)

    My chemo tour has been rescheduled. Please tell me this is good. There was a cancelation with the oncologist and my appointment has been changed so she can see me and not her assistant. Please tell me its because it is my first visit for chemo she wants to see me. Please tell me that my PET scan was good and not to worry. Tell me to stop worrying. My imagination is getting the best of me. I AM really scared!!!

    Oh Veggy. Can your sister go and stay with you? Even for just a few days? I'm pretty certain your oncologist would want to be There for the first one...I'm positive mine would....especially because of my feelings....they are kind that way. Can you have DH call them? He could let them know how terrified you are...I hope/pray/want/need/chant over & over that the scan is clean....I love you Veggy. I'll Keep doing it until you get word.

    Crog...I'm sure your exhausted!!! But you're pushing through and I'm so proud of you.

    I'm a mess today ya all. I haven't got up this screwy in a loooong time. I'm meeting a few ladies in Milwaukee for lunch....I hope I can get my head outta my hinney by 1:00!

    My sister lives 800 miles away. I know she would be here if she could. She was here for my surgery. I have to find my big girl panties and pull them up over my shoulders. Why do I always picture the worse never the best? I have to get myself busy or I will go crazy.

    SAS. Don't know what happened to the PM I sent you.... The Internet service here at rehab is not the greatest. Any who, i was not in the least upset with your post. I like opinions!!!!!!! They help me make decisions.. I think I am going home on Friday.. There is not much more they can do for me here. I will go back to rehab when I get my prosthesis..... Right now I have to heal, do exercises and get better and stronger....



    Off to another exercise class...

    Veggy, I think we all tend to imagine the worst now that we have this "diagnosis." I know I do. I wish I could do or say something that would alleviate your fears. That requires a face to face -- and a long hug. It seems to be really easy to get into a panic about things and really hard to remember to take that deep breath -- or two or three -- and get back into dealing mode. Do whatever it takes to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Will you still be having your appointment later today, or have they changed the date of it?

    Nancy, your shit storm has simply got to stop. I cannot believe all the shit that has been hurled at you recently. You sure are a strong lady Nancy. So how is mom feeling now? I'm hoping all is well -- for a change, eh?

    Hey Cindy. Girl you are inspiring me to get to the gym. I'm going to try really hard to do that later today. Exercise is so important, and I have been neglecting it badly. You keep getting stronger and heal well. I'm glad you will be getting out of the hospital soon.

    Fuzzy, what's going on? Watcha mean about waking up screwy? Inquiring minds want to know. What kind of weather is Milwaukee having these days? If it is anything like Baltimore, I'm thinking the Fuzzinator is garaged. LOL. I've had enough winter already and we haven't even gotten into autumn. Brrrr. Sleep is a little better, though. I still have trouble getting to sleep, but once I get there, I don't wanna get out from under my covers. I currently have 3 blankets on the bed. Silly me.

    Speaking of bed, I guess I ought to get there. Do have a good day everyone. Sassy, PM me sometime and tell me how you are doing.

    Dunes -good , corrected bladder stones by stopping Miacalcin which was being taken for the osteoporsis caused by the aromatase inhibitors. Duh, Each one of our life enhancing therapies that causes another complication. Other then that I'm fine. Passing the stone was a new experience that I would by choice pass on. Very wierd, experience was not textbook or in actual 40 year experience. I passed a full intact stone. In 40 years never saw an intact stone, but God defined I should learn and so I did. I do not wish this on another.  So, How's the arm?

    I can't sleep. I can't get comfortable with these TE's.

    DH and I went out for dinner and I could not help but order my favorite... fried shrimp. We decided to celebrate out 27th anniversary two days early. 

    I got myself to stop worrying. If it was something bad they would have called for more testing. Right? Yep, that's what it is. The doctor wants to see me before I start chemo to check how the left TE is healing. Right? That's all it is. Right?

    Everyone - Tell me, "RIGHT!"

    I am going to try to go back to sleep. I planned a busy day later. 

    Hugs!

    VENT ALERT! 

    So yesterday I had my 3rd Liver MRI (in 12 months).  5 'enlarged' blood vessels showed up a year ago on my PFC breast MRI.  Surgeon said, they are nothing.  Probably been there for years, but since I never had any abdominal scan or xray, just didn't know it.  MO said same thing.  BUT, Radiation Onc. thought I should have it looked at again and then again (even though he said the same thing as the BS).  WTF?  So, I'm thinking, fine, just get this crap over with.  Make sure the blood vessels don't turn into what?  I don't fricken know!  So, by some miracle, I haven't even worried about it.  My son joked that it's probably liver damage from my college drinking days - LOL!  Anyway, got a call from the RO's nurse yesterday afternoon telling me the liver was stable - meaning no change in the blood vessels so I don't need to keep having these MRIs.  The she says, "I'm so happy for you that it's not cancer!"  WTF?  No one told me that was a concern!!!!  So, maybe I should be happy that I haven't been worrying about it for a year, but still!!!!  Am I being unreasonable here?  That sort of pissed me off.
