SAS and anyone else who has been following my posts that have to do with my amputation and revision.... Had appointment with surgeon this morning and the incision looks good. Healing this time. They took the stitches out and replaced with sterri strips.. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will stay closed this time and continue to heal and shrink...
Cindy -
Great news Cindy. Hope the progress continues without a hitch.
-
Sounds good Cindy. In your pocket ridergirl.
-
Crog...that's AWESOME!!! Sounds like you're healing well and on your way!
GG..I'm so worried about you. Have you considered a cane? I need you safe my darling.
Rider...I'm with ya! I'll bring some "Brownies"...
SAS has a virus in her computer...its in the shop. She's doing great...computer is incarcerated....
Day 5 after surgery...and I was out of bed for several hours...finally. my back is really sore and my body is just weak. Guess it was a bigger surgery than I realized. But, even with all that, I feel like I've been freed. I feel like I made it! Two years ago, we didn't look this far out...just hoped.
GG..did you ask a question of the group a while back? I thought I read one and I know I wanted to answer it..or maybe my drugs were working overtime! LOL -
Fuzzy. Sounds like you are doing well. Funny you should mention 2 years ago. I found out I had breast cancer 2 years ago last Monday the 3rd... I tried not to think about it on that day though. I have had so much else going on that I actually sometimes forget about the cancer.. Didn't think 2 years ago I would ever be able to say that!!!!
Glad to know that it is SAS's computer that is being fixed and that she is ok.....
I am available to anyone who needs me in their pocket....

Crog...have I told you lately how incredible you are?
I can't remember if I said this already but...I'm super impressed with what my PS has done. My skin was in terrible shape from rads...and if I have very noticeable scars from this I would be shocked. I didn't expect to be this satisfied. Especially this early. I mean...its totally not natural but better than I imagined...
I'd love to make homemade shampoo, conditioner and body wash...anybody have a great recipe? I've Googled a few but I'm hoping someone has tried it. -
Awww Fuzzy I think you are pretty incredible too!!!!!!! Glad you are so pleased with your surgery....
Cindy -

Wonderous women, I do not deserve thee. I always feel so much happier after I have visited this comfortable, pleasant place. But I am a litle confused lately and this worries me greatly. i HAVE to get those X-rays of my head. You see, only husband knows, and I almost didn't want to tell you all. When I had my CT scan to see how the cancer was, I was clear. Just one problem. Of the four places breast cancer goes, the brain is one. So, I asked the nurse I was discussing my CT scan with, what were the signs if cancer had gone there. Falling down. Oh, I pushed it to the side like it was nothing. But I am SO haunted by it. You see, as I've said I fall all the time now, I've also been unbelievably confused, I AM going to get one of four-legged walkers,and I used to be quite bright, wanted to finish writing my short stories so I can pass along a few amazing stories so people will know what I know, and I'm finding whole chunks of memory just... gone.
Now, it's possible it's this, or that, or the other, and I DO NOT want to go to the hospital, but I'll have to, and I've put off going to a dermatologist becuz of the melanoma I had in my boob, one of the two exceedingly scary cancers, inflammatory being the other one. Makes the invasive ductal carcinoma seem like nothing. Now, I have been taking some very heavy-duty medicines, so it's probabl just me geting used to it, and thank heavens Richard realized the mistake he made criticizing me for being so mixed up and not driving too well. We've sorted out the driving thing so I'm safe. But I cannot live with someone who makes me feel uncomfortable in my own home. But thank goodness husband is much nicer now, particulaly as I had pointed out to him what a useless piece of shit he's been. Hahahaha.
Let's see, Fuzzy, I cannot recall what my general question No. 347 might have been ... hahahha, but I can't remember much stuff nohow. Oh, gosh, I cannot tell you how mixed up I've been. I actually pissed off my mother the other day, and she NEVER gets mad at anyone. I sent her an email and told her that she and Dad missed adopting me out when they had the chance. Smile.
But I've been doing some more daydreaming, girls. I just need to begin getting in shape, finish tidying the house, and then Richard and I just might get something out of the few years I got left. Oooops, there I go, dying again. And I had just been so happy. Well, I reckon we're all more than a tad overly sensitive. I MUST come up with a tattoo for my forehead or something. I still like that button I have, "Ask me if I care." I don't think the Good Lord would appreciate it. Maybe, "I like flowers." That way people will send me some. What I REALLY need is a good kick in the head by that mule I keep out back.
Gotta go. Hope everyone is healing up. By the way, after I loudly argued with my doctor in the hospital about my port, when I came out of anesthesia and got to a mirror, I asked the doc, "What in the world did you guys do to my neck? It looks like you tried to murder me in at least a dozen different ways!?!" There was some reason, but to this day, well over a year now, I can still see some bruising.
Oh, anbody seen "Life of Pi" yet at the movie theater? I'm dying to see it. Love all of you. GG

Thanks ladies for the company yesterday Fuzzy the brownies were awesomely good! Was a good day yesterday the dr i didnt want to see was away so i saw her GP assistant who is very nice and got some questions answered. Have new anti-nausea drug (Emend) to use for chemo and also decadron to take for 3 days post. They r hoping it will help with both the nausea and give me some energy. The pain specialist is a wonderful sweet man, didnt change anything else as my pain is pretty well managed right now but suggested i eat ginger in any form to combat nausea and also take 20ml of olive oil every night to help soothe the bowels.
So off to chemo tomorrow with new meds that will hopefully make it a little more bearable than the last one
Alll ABooooard.........

I have been just lurking lately. I had the operation last week, check u on Monday and chemo yesterday. My blood levels are great. Surprised the physician's assistant. I got the zometa yesterday and asked if they could give it too me in a half hour instead of 15 minutes to help with the pain. They did. It worked. I am the second patient who asked for that. Today's pain is minimal compared to last month's.
Fuzzy - I am so happy that your are pleased with your surgery. We will have to talk more. I will be having the same surgery on my left breast some time. Not sure when. Keep notes.
Ridergirl - I'm in your pocket. I'm bringing gingerale. I bought muself a case of it and take a couple when I go in for chemo. I drink some whenI get home too. It helps break up any indigestion I have. How much is 20 ml?
Crog - Glad to hear that you are healing better.
Dogeyed - Sending you great big hugs. Now since 90% of my hair is gone, I would like a tattoo saying, "Bring me wine!".
My head is pounding, my vision is weird - I can't see my computer screen with or without my glasses. I'll be taking it easy for the rest of the day. I'll be napping, drinking water, going to the bathroom and eating whatever appeals to me. I'll be checking in later.
Big Hugs!
-
For everyone who lacks energy today. I just can't get going myself this morning.
-
Alyson - me either. Could it possibly be the chemo I had yesterday? Or am I just plain ole lazy? Maybe its both.
-
Been lurking too.I read every post and my heart goes out to all of you....prayers too.
Im doing a good general cleaning of this apt.i mean everything.My family 1 by 1 is moving to pa and i put in applications in 4 different places.
im goin for pt tomorrow.LE is back!!!!
huggggs everyone.Ill be back!!!!!!!!
-
Dogeyed, I saw The Life of PI a few days ago. The photography was brilliant and the story line quite interesting. I enjoyed it. Actually enjoyed is a misnomer but it was definitely worth seeing.
-
GG...oh please oh please make my GG better. You're scaring me. Too much can happen in a fall...you are brilliant and I see it...you are talented and beautiful...nothing is guaranteed to us and I have trouble "planning"...get that nugget looked at so that card can get off the table.
Veggy...I was worried about you. We should chit chat!! This surgery was bigger than I thought so I'll share everything with you!
Rider...fingers crossed for the new meds to be magic!
Pretty sure I caught a wicked little bug that not only makes me feel like shit...but sucks up any energy that could have been there for me, is gone and its soooo frustrating.
Baby Puppy has just been a little peach. Tonight he creeped up on me when I was laying down...one little paw at a time...gentle as could be until he could rest his head on my sternum...he just stayed there and stared at me. Soooo cute!!
My oldest is fighting so hard with her classes and it breaks my heart. She's brilliant...the teacher is sucking. She works so hard...too hard...I'm so worried about her mental and physical health.
I love so much to come here and be with all of You. XOXOXOXXXXOOOOOXXXXXXOOO -
I'm pretty sure they also make GingerAle lozenges. I tried to drink the stuff but its too much for me. And, you want to make sure its "real" for the anti nausea effect.
Peppermint is great too...I grow the plant in my kitchen and snip off one or two leaves, chew em, swallow them...helps an upset tummy...my girls didn't believe it til they tried it but it works!
Soooo...might have an infection where the drain entry points are. Its an area that's numb from the piece of nerve that was removed during the first surgery....but its very pink. I sent a photo to my PS. Hoping its been pink the whole time and I just didn't notice it.
wouldn't you know....I've sneezed more in the past 4 days than I have all friggin year...SNEEZING SUCKS!! LOL it pulls everything!! Front, back, middle....ugh. -
Happy Holidays to all you wonderful ladies!
-
Sorry, I was trying to post a cute take on the Night before Christmas wishing all of you wonderful ladies a Happy Holiday. I'm on a Mac so I don't have a right click. If I can figure it out, I'll try again. Thoughts are the same though. Just finished getting the gifts boxed and ready for shipping to Japan to son and his family.
-
Kath. ..good luck figuring that out but I'd loooove some festive pics! Maybe Veggy and Alyson would post some too? We gotta decorate this place!! Change out the lava lamps to red, green and white! Hang the mistletoe! I heard we might get snow...and I love snow in December. Love love love!!
SugarDarlings...this is my worst day. Is that normal?? I hurt everywhere...in my bones...I have chills and no fever...and I'm a big ol cry baby about it!! My throat hurts...my head hurts...my pinkie hurts because I bit the nail a little too short (snicker snicker).
So, my DH is just taller than me but he's got giant shoulders...very man looking...he's fallen in love With my little car - it cracks me up. I mean...its small. Red. Manual transmission. Its a girl car for sure. Just wanted to share a story about that silly boy. -

I'm taking my foster cat to an adoption event today. It will be really hard if he's adopted; we're so fond of him. We have to keep reminding ourselves of our reasons to not adopt (age, want to travel, no one to take a cat if something happens that we can't care for him). If he found a home with kids or another cat to play with, he'd prefer it there. DH wanted to know if I want to attend a party if he's adopted. I said no, I want to go home and cry. He needs a special home. He's black, large, and FIV+, which are all barriers to adoption. He's also our favorite of all our foster cats (except the torti that we did adopt).
-
Whew! Escaped having to say goodbye. One women narrowed it down to 3 cats, of which he was one. She went with a buff tabby, however. Probably to match her golden retriever. I'm not sorry, even tho it will be even harder next time.
