Dilaudud..thats morphine right?
-
Oh Fuzzy im glad you are ok....
hugggggggs everyone who needs it and that means all of us.

Grannydukes,
Yes, dilaudid is in the morphine family. I was given that because I can't take darvocet or anything related to it. I had no problems with dilaudid after my BMX and had to take it for my herniated disc as well, but I hallucinated on darvocet. It's amazing how each of us reacts so differently to medications.

Okay reading pages in reverse
Fuzzy--shit. In on group hug. Damn Bc. Oh my fuzzy wuzzy shit shit shit!!!
Soleria and Rider--hang in there sistas. We are all in your pockets---hugs hugs hugs. I have and exciting thread for you LOL. Constipation---did it when two people were asking advice and nothing was in BCO. Strange , but true. This is a huge proble with all our meds. I'll bring back the link and edit it in. After pages and pages of suggestions by BCO members. I reread from the start. Prunes and apricots won seats down(pun intended).

Alyson so glad you have stayed. You are great in so many ways to have here. You brighten all the pages you are on. When you come next year, your welcome to stay with me, or I can ferry you around some. I have a pool and about 20 minutes from the beach. Be careful what season you come in b/c of hurricanes on eastern seaboard of USA. April is the MOST stunning month in Florida--low humidity, no storms, temperature comfortable -not too hot or cold. Gorgeous!
Veggy, it'll grow sweetie. Enjoy your family this year like no other year. I've finally decorated this year like I did before BC and Lymphoma changed our lives and took my Greg. It's been great so far and the decorations have so lifted my spirits everytime I look at them and turn on the seasonal music. AND your cohort Alyson has come to find you and sparked that flare in you for finding just the right pics.
Gail the day I said I loved my little laptop, I got a virus--Malware that AVG didn't catch. But my plan of buying it at the computer repair shop worked. They take wonderful care of all customers, but I feel such a sense of confidence in them, it's nice. BTW my laptop was a rebuilt HP and cost way less than a new one. The Geeks in this shop are real computer afficiandos (not nerds). Very opinionated about what's good and bad LOL. The original cost on this HP was 1600.00$. Rebuilt was 234.00$. !3' screen. Even has a fingerprint recognition feature, but not using that. By now you are likely enjoying whatever your choice was, have fun.
ESSA--you have been away for sooooo long, glad to see you back, missed you.
Granny--that illness you had, I've heard the same signs/symptoms from all over the country and a friends GS outside of London. Awful stuff lasts for along time.
Kath, welcome glad to have you here, Big Hugs we are all with you.
Dilaudid---great info on Wikipedia. Very readable. Hits all the need to know info and keeps it in lay terms
Need to read some more pages...............

I went to look at wigs today. They were too small. A couple stores down had some great wraps on sale. I got 4 or them to wear on my head. They are so soft on my bald head. They are so long that I could use them as a shawl. I found out that the place where I got the wraps also does a Look Good Feel Better program. I'm going to sign up for the one next month. And you can also make your own jewelery there too. Its a cute place.
Does anyone know if Fuzzy is home yet? I'd feel better f I knew she was home.
Hugs for everyone.
-
DuckyB---so hope GS situation gets better, time you should start enjoying life again without other worries
Wren, so understand about reading those little articles. I had a musical hallucination (New medical term--Musical EAr Syndrome). Found the music "new Caldonia"1946 by Jordan(already forgot first name). You can play it on You-tube. The horns were the worst, worst, but it only lasted 2 hours Whew! Wren do you remember the articles? It would be a hoot to hear the topics, if you remember.
Crog thanks! feels good to be missed. Like a "Cheers" thing. Going to the prosthetics pros is a huge advancement, stays lots about your status. Soon you will be up walking. We will have a party here when that occurs. We can all HAPPY DANCE and follow your lead. YAY!!!!!
Sheila to Sheila, checking our signal, I'm Sassy. Glad you've come back. You along with Alyson, and Veggy brighten the pages with your pics as well as words.
Need to read 154-156 now Muah,muah

Rider--the olive oil will help the liver/gallbladder/pancreas be happy. As it is a fight for the Liver to do it's job chemically, Whole tree of life rests within the liver. All, or most all must (Drugs/digested food), go through her and be recieved and metabolized. The liver in all it's beauty rules> RULES>. It's the seat of all fixing. Keep it happy!!!! In China , a morning greeting is "How's your LIVER." Irony, the pollution in this country(China), makes this greeting suspect., b/c their livers aen't in great shakes. Consider with Doc approval to take. Omrga 3-hepls too---2, 3x's aday.
Anyone with a begining soar throat---find a bottle with acork, pour in cider vinegar up to the top. Pour contents of bottle in the a small sauce pan. Some vinegar will boil off,ergo, more concentrated. Next cover botton with whole red pepper seed. From the red pepper seeds comes Capasin--hot in temp. Cover bottom with salt. Warm till it boils for a few miniutes. Cool. Strain through small tea strainer into container wiith funnel and place in frig. Frist sign of any throat, gargle this, with a good workin active gargle, do every 15minute for a 1 hour. Maybe for around two hours, Very acidic. TASTE BLOODY AWFUL. It will burn. The most searing affect will be over the big areas that are under attack. Kills only bacteria attacking tissue. Will not affect other tissue. Rinse the fore mouth---the tongue--get 'it off the tongue and side of mouth--spit it out. More pallatable. Thought this was my Grandmoms receipt. Found it in folk medicine book that it went back 150 years. My guess lots farther back in time than that. That was 30 years ago. So, 180 years old receipt minimum.
Will edit as needed. L&H&P's
Where oh where is out Nancy and Galsal SpecialK---
Wow --edited for many, many typos too much ativan.

Hey Fuzzy, we are all looking to welcome you home. Prayer for you and lots of hugs
Ginger
I have been away from this thread for a few weeks so I was stunned to see you gone.
Hi everyone else. I hope you are all doing well, I read the last 3 pages but missed about 6 more.
-
Hi Ginger. I was away for a while too. It is good to be back.
I think I will be painting the kitchen tomorrow. I will take a pain pill before I even start. My boob hurts now and I barely did anything, just some taping and spackling. However, I was not wearing a supportive bra. Also, I think I must have a touch of truncal lymphedema. I can't think of any other reason why it should feel so uncomfortable all the time. So, I did my MLD before I got on here tonight. Maybe I should do that in the morning as well.
I finished school but still have to take the certification exam. I'm not ready for it yet. I guess I should get off here and do a practice test before my sleep meds kick in.
Please be well you guys.
-
Hi Everyone....I just read Fuzzy's FB page there are some kinda complications like a secondary infection and other stuff...so she won't be coming home tomorrow......
Good Night all.
♥

Sheila where is fuzzy's fb page?
Dunes you are working sooooooo hard. Laudable, but take care of your self first sweetie.
-
Hello all! Been thinking of and praying for you all. Think I'm all caught up - it's been a couple of weeks! DH had rotator cuff surgery on Nov 26th, MIL in hospital for advanced COPD and heart problems, and preparing for a huge audit next week at work! No time for even a minute for myself! Maybe that's God's way of keeping my mind occupied as this is the week 2 years ago I received the dreaded news. Love and hugs to all!

Newsflash I have a fella--7 months now, trial of living together for last 4+ weeks, Talking lots and lots and LOTS. Marriage not an option b/c of money. Each day is better than the last. So, please, keep us in your prayers. He's 54, I'm 62. Good looking in a rough cowboy sort of way. He was definitely a diamond in the rough. Long shoulder length hair, always looked like he needed a scrub b/c he's in a job that there's alot of dirt, a rough beard, Harry Potter hair(in the books Harry's hair is always askew). New man once I convinced him of the importance of the way he looks. Reinforcement helps. He's gotten soooo many compliments(men and women) on his new look and the way women look at him now. He's like a kid "Did you see how many women were looking at me". I said "How can you tell". He "Cuz I stared them down" LOL. Some would be threatened by that, but I'm not. Effect on me: depression-- gone, I'm cooking rather than opening a can of cold beans, going out rather than cocooning, fixing myself up, decorating the house to the nines which I haven't since before BC (09), I'm back to laughing allot, the unsaid is great too, LOL. Life is short, not going to miss this opportunity too be happy. Whatever may happen in the future that may be negative will not rob me of this present joy. Screw BC. sassy

Mama always happy to see you when you pop in. Sorry for all the troubles. Hope Dh's recovery goes easy--shoulders are not fun to recover from. MILgets better. Audit goes well. Have a wonderful blissfull holiday L&H&P's sassy

FUZZY, This is how long it took me to get OUT of the dang hospital. You were i there and I was trying to get out. So, as I have done many times, I escaped. I'm glad you went, too. Both of us were hanging on by threads. But honestly, I went in the EMT (that's how you go when you suddely stop breathing), they squared me away, and so I was polite to everyone yesterday, was a model of physicl dexterity, and only coughed about three times. I asked my doctor if may go home, and he was bigger SOB than me, so I espaped this morning. You see, I felt it was time to swtich from hospital care and go to the private doctor idea. DOES ANYONE LISTEN TO US? Hell no. I really couldn't take the cartoons too much no more. I am FINE at home, must happier, Smokey missed me, and your DARLING puppy is just the most perfect little being on the planet, just for our Fuzzy. I'll write more another day.
PTDREAMERS,thank you SO muchfor the Life of Pi review, so pleased it will be a good good show for me to look at, if a bit unique. But I get all the layers, so can't wait. GG
-
Hey Dune---if you think you have trunk LE you should not be painting anything...I have it and when it flares up i do nothing but the massages,lite exercises and keep the arm rested....the painting will wait.take care of YOU>>>
Fuzzy----prayin for you...miss you.....get betta fast.
And
congrats to Sassy...a new man makes you feel like you are a kid again.enjoy.
hugggggs everyone K
-
Sas, So happy for you. Enjoy whatever comes your way.
-
Way to go Sassy! I have one too, but uh! Definitely not that way! We're just friends . . . sort of. His mother is thinking there is more to it than that, but she is soooo wrong. I'm just not interested. Sometimes he is good company, but gawd . . . every night. Geez. Enough is enough already!
However, he did come in handy today. I painted the kitchen and it was not going well, despite the pain pill I took before I started and the xanax I took gradually throughout the day as I noticed I was still cussing and pitching a fit about it all. So then I called Don and asked him to bring me a six-pack. No, not abs. Beer! I drank that six-pack. Then I got hungry. I hadn't eaten anything but some toast before I started painting. So I called him and had him take me out to eat. (I paid.) I got this huge steak and mashed potatoes and cole slaw and coffee amaretto. LOL. I'm so stuffed. I haven't eaten -- and drank -- so much since before breast cancer. That would be about a year. Really. I have to go to sleep but I don't think I can lay down. I may have to sleep sitting up. LOL.
I have to go to the plastic surgeon in the morning, then the shrink in the afternoon. Oh goody goody. I hope I don't smell like booze. hehehehehe
-
Been crying all day.
-
((((((((((((((((((((((((Veggy)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
-
OK damnit! No more booze for Dune! My heart is racing despite quite a few xanax. I can't sleep. I'm still stuffed. That's it for my rant.
What's going on Veggy? Anything in particular, or the damn breast cancer bull crap in general? We love ya girl!
I haven't been tearful for at least a few days, except when doing the Christmas cards, and that was a short bit.
-
Dune, please be careful mixing xanax with booze.
Veggie, So sorry you're feeling this way. (((((HUGS)))))

Its hitting me that I am stage 4. I am chemo for the long haul. Trying to understand this. Trying yo accept this. I went from stage 2 to stage 4...what happened to stage 3? Trying to accept the new me (again), no hair, all these scars and trying to get a hold of myself. I figure I am allowed to have days like this but I can't stay down. My sister is in SC and I am in PA. there are only the two of us. I have one nephew, 3 years old and he won't know me. I see him once a year. My best friend is stage 4 and its only a matter a time. Her organs are too strong. What's going to happen to me? Fear has taken over. Tomorrow the sun better come out. I'll sit in front of my window and enjoy it. I might even curl up on the floor and take a nap in it. Today was my pity party. Thanks for letting me vent.
-
Cancer sucks. Stage IV sucks absolutely. I keep having pains in my hip and I can't help but wonder. I get scared, but then I just kind of accept it. Of course, if they actually diagnosed me Stage IV, I might just be whistling a different tune. I wouldn't do the chemo, I don't think. I guess I would continue to go the alternative route, but with more time devoted to meditation and walking/exercising. I know I can't say what I would do until I am placed in that situation, though.
I hope you do get a sunny day Veggy, and I'd love to see you curled up in a sunbeam. That would be awesome!
Wren, my heart is still racing, but I won't take anything else. If I can't sleep. So be it. There are worse things in life. You are right, though. One should watch that combo. I just can't believe I'm not knocked out. It's that stupid alcohol. No more for me. This guy who has been coming by got me back into drinking beer, just one or two, but then today the painting got me so frustrated that I resorted to my old bad behaviors. No more drinking. None at all. Damnit! I swear, if the urge to drink hits me again, I'm going to an AA meeting. No shit. Beer is not part of my alternative treatment protocol. For sure!
-
VEGGYnoodle, I think you done extremely well so far with keeping your attitude in a positive place... I think I would lose it if they told me I went to Stage 4 and the whole hair and wearing out routine. But you know as well as I do that focusing on whatever pieces of positive stuff laying around is the best way to walk thru hell. You know, TV, reading, sitting in the sun, make some little pencil sketches or abstrat blob of pain. Then there's that soothing bath, only candlelights, lavender incense, bubble bath. Keep eating even tho you don't want to, and just eat what you like. I'm sorry, I got carried awway.
DUNES, yah, you are adjusting to precancer over to postcancer sort of, and it takes some gettting used to. I quit drinking around 25 year ago, I still don't know how I did it. I had a plan, I read some stuff about it, practically ate a few strings of neclaces to take out my nerves ad have something in my hands. And Dunes,you ain't gotta do .soething ALL the dang time. Get into a TV mpvie phase. I'm sure everyone has favs. Nice long walks are good for happy emotions.
I loveall of you, and I MISS FUZZYrina, and Ithink of her & her little puppy a lot. I missed my dog in the hospitla to.
