The Hermit Club

Oh to be young!   I rarely leave the house after sundown, and even go to matinees at the movie theater.   When did I become an old fogie?

LOL!!!  You guys crack me up!!!  I did not log on yesterday and I come here tonight and have 3 pages to read! You have been busy!

Bgirl thanks for bringing over the bus!  Just don’t tell that it was me when they find the pile of bodies under it!!!

Yes, there are days that “I hate everyone because of everything!”  LOL Camille love your “art” work!!

Markat Yeah! On the clear US!  Maybe the pulled muscle is from laughing at Camille’s “art” work.

Roids…Oh, my I had the WORST case of ROID RAGE imaginable.  I was so mad and bad and mad and bad and mad!  I hated myself!  Not to mention what anyone else thought. I complained to my MO that I was “the bi**h from hell”  I could tell by the look in his eye that he “knew” all about this ROID RAGE I was having. He very “sweetly” reminded me that there was just a few more treatments. I contemplated quitting chemo it was SO bad!  AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boy the whole transplant thingeee gives a whole new meaning to “someone giving you a bunch of sh*t”.  I have never heard of that either and I work in the medical field.?.?.?.  Camille I hope that they are able to help you SOON!  Bless your heart for having to deal with this for so long! 

Bgirl - Good news on good x-rays! 

Jane I hate to say this but sometimes they can't explain alot of things LOL Just lad it's ok

Teka I'm the old one on here...so u'r not an old fogee--I don't go out an night either--none of my friends do musch, except we augh now cuz we go to Lunch our whole lives we met for dinner and vlosed the place now it's lunch no one can drive at night anymore. LOL

These young wippersnappers have to go out they have young kids and they do alot of things. but we like hermits here cuz they'd rather not right now. And I just don't want to go out actually alot of the time.

But the girls on here are so sweet they don't care I'm an oldie but goodie LOL So don't stay away cuz of age--this is a great group here really u'll be super comfy here.

I feel like prior BC treatments sucked the frisky out of this 60+ year old.   However, I am going to get busy cleaning and planning Thanksgiving dinner.

Teka is a Maine Coon.   We were high and dry during Irene and Sandy.   Thank You for the kind words, but I still feel like an old fogie.

Oh my, im gone for a day and i have 3 pages to catch up on. You have been busy little hermits. I have been at work and i have to be in a midnight tonight, im tired and i don't want to go!!! I have to though, the studios are releasing spiderman tonight and i have to be there to represent the movie Studio!!

Ok im hoping everyone is well, i will go back and read now so i can catch up

Chey</p>

Teka- glad you were away from the storm! We all may be different ages and have different backgrounds, but we all support each other and laugh and cry together!



Chey- that sounds like an interesting career. What do you do work-wise? Doesn't sound very hermitty, lol.

Seriously people, I cannot keep up.  Now I have even more to catch up on.

Chey - interesting job!

  markat - congrats on the job. 

camille - sorry about the ER visit glad they didn't keep you but so sorry they can't get you some answers

 jane - yay on the xray  I have the "we don't know" issue with my rib pain.  I had a PET at dx, it was fine.  When I complained for a couple months after chemo, had a rib xray, nothing.  so frustrating but so glad nothing else has shown up.

 teka - pretty cat! I have two...they are lazy and fat boys.

 FL - I didn't have roid rage so much but I do get mean as hell on painkillers if I take them during the day. 

Skittle - are you a teacher?  Ihave a degree in elementary ed but I decided I hate other people's kids so its not working out for me.

whaevah - hi. 

Lisa - why was the mo visit so bad?

Is that everyone...I need to stay more caught up. Had a "dry run" planning CT at the RO yesterday and go back for actual simulation today.  Totally miscalculated the time - he said 28 tx and I was thinking 28/7 is 4 weeks.  Duh, you don't go on the weekend.  So if I want to finish before the end of the year, I need to start next week.  Otherwise, my 100% coverage will be over and I will have to start over with insurance. 

Nope camille, I don't want to.  I taught 2 years straight out of college, quit when DH and I moved around a little and worked various jobs because I knew we would be having kids and I wanted to stay home w/them.  Kids got older, I decided to start working but had let my certification lapse, got recertified and in 2011 I was doing a lot of long term subbing jobs while still working PT in retail.  I was just doing the retail when I was dx this spring and quit that job, and sure didn't want to be around little kids while I was in chemo, etc...  Now I just don't have any desire to get back into it.  There is so much work that is involved in being a teacher nowadays, even outside the school day and I just don't have the passion for it.  Plus you have to kill someone or sleep with them to get a job in the schools around here.

Lol Ribbons! My cat's favorite. And ponytail holders. She likes to drop those in the toilet for some reason.



Chey- what an amazing job! That sounds so cool. Hope you got some rest.



Camille - I know! I went to fill out paperwork today and I started getting a little nervous! My last herceptin should be right before Christmas break, so that's good.



K - I hear you on the insurance crap. It sucks.

FUNNY stuff!  Thanks for the laugh!

Me, I'm OK.  I did a nice leg work out BUT...I have a patchy bald head.  I've taken two showers today, with the hopes that when I get out of the shower, all my hair will be gone.  It is of course, everywhere but on my head.

I thought I'd do OK with this.  Ha!  I've been pissed at my hair for like, my whole life, and even liked the buzz cut.  It worked with long earings, etc.  THIS really took me by surprise!

For those of you who have had long beautiful hair and have lost it, I mourn your loss.  I really thought I wouldn't care but it looks, like, SO gross!

I'm grateful for my nice wigs.  I'll be happier when the last of my hair has washed down the drain.

Hope everyone is having an OK day and thanks for letting me whine and complain!

kit--yep.  I teach.  (but no sleeping/killing for my job!)  :-)    Some days I love it, and some days not so much.  It's more from parent friction than kids, though.  You wouldn't believe the stories... I love their energy and humor and honesty about what they think and feel.   It's exhausting and the kids wonder why I'm freezing all the time, but life goes on and we have a lot of fun. 

chey--wow.  glamorous excitement.  Teaching sounds pretty drab in comparison.   It must be exhausting, though, too--and rewarding. 

omeggo--complain all you want.  Venting is healthy for the soul! 

markat--love your spirit.  Hope that headache goes away soon. 

camille--I agree wholeheartedly with the age thing--I know I've added at least 10 years going through this mess.  But I love your feisty edges.

teka--gorgeous Maine Coon.  My bff in Topsham, ME, has a trio of them.  Huge with massive paws.  Enormous purrs.  Glad Sandy left you in peace.

wishing all hermits a peaceful weekend

Hi Hermits!

I should be all tucked in bed and will be soon. 

I have to tell you, I will be crawling out of my hermit shell for a while tomorrow.  I am going to go have lunch at The Cheesecake Factory with some of the local BCO sisters.  Really looking forward meeting some of the ladies from the boards! There has been several get-togethers, but this is my first time to get to join in.

Omeggo I feel your pain!  Glad you have found wigs you like! I was one with long hair prior to chemo.  Actually,  I had long hair all my life.  I totally freaked out about loosing my hair.  Luckily, I had a wig that I liked and I wore it for 9 months.  I would not go out the front door without it. It took my hair a good 3 weeks to finish shedding and I never lost it ALL.  You can "shave" your head if you want to get past this stage.  Lots of the ladies do that.  I buzzed mine to 1/4 but never "shaved".  The good news is it does grow back!

Camille ROFL at your Washington State pic!!! Too funny! Hope your pain is gone!

Markat hope that headache is gone by now.  Also hope your DD is better!

Happy Weekend to all!
