    Fuzzy, you go girl! Yeah, sucky ass people got to me too. An antidepressant won't fix that. Are you going to go back on them? If it turns out I have to in order to function, I will, but I sure am going to try to function without them. Yeah, if we were there, we could have told them a thing or two.

    Veggy, I know what you mean. ((( Veggy )))  I know it will be hard for you at various times. I lost my best friend a couple of years ago, and I still get the feeling that I want to call her and then realize again that I can't do that. I talk to her a lot though. And when I was struggling so badly a little while back, I held her picture to my heart and cried and cried and cried.

    Gail, you are a freaking trip! I love the way you write. You are so expressive, so alive.

    Ducky, bah humbug back at ya!

    I actually went Christmas shopping today. Mom and I do stockings on Christmas morning, so I went to the Dollar Store and got several items she likes from there. She admired a happy face spatula when we were in JC Penney Sunday, so I went back and got that. I got stuff from Bath and Body Works but dang that stuff stinks. Some of what I got is OK, but the cream is horrible. All their stuff STINKS. However, I'm hoping they couldn't screw up the little bottles of eucalyptus and spearmint body wash and bath salts. So, anyway, I have several gifts for her to open, plus the stocking stuff. Oh damn! I just remembered about the bag of socks. I still have to wrap them. OMG! That was the thing she really wants. hahaha. Then it occurred to me that she has mentioned that her camera has been acting up. It is really old. It was my first digital camera. 2 MP. LOL. So I went looking for a new camera for her. Best Buy had one on display that was fairly simple: a priority for her. However, they were sold out. So I popped over to Walmart. Yes, I braved Walmart. And they had it! Yes! Cheaper even! This is a Nikon, 16.1 MP, and RED. It takes regular AA batteries, so she doesn't have to worry about the charge running out. Just carry extra batteries. Anyway, that is for her birthday: January 6. She'll probably pitch a fit, but I hope she will keep it.

    Down with amateur shrinks. It's bad enough when that's their speciality. I would probably have sat there speechless also. And someone who has the easy path out of depression just hasn't ever been there. (((Gentle hugs)))

    Veggy, so sorry to hear about your friend.  She is at peace now.  It must have been difficult for you to be there but what a wonderful friend you are.  I have witnessed both my brother and mother dying.  It isn't easy when the last breath is drawn.  You and your friend are in my prayers.

    Fuzzy, you are one tough lady to be going through what you have so far.  Please take it easy and let your DH pamper you.  You certainly deserve it.  I can't stand it when medical personnel talk down to me like I don't have a clue or they don't pay attention to what I tell them.  Years back I had a pediatrician in our practice make a comment that I had to be wrong about my girls not getting their first ear infection until they were almost four.  He actually went through their charts in front of me and said "oh you're right."  That's when I took the attitude that they are on my payroll and I don't think twice to change docs if they get the "high and mighty" attitude with me.

    Dunesleeper, buy the rechargeable batteries and charger.  I have a camera like that and it eats up the regular batteries.  Rechargeables last longer in the camera.  Go figure.  

    Finished Christmas shopping.  Got my box to son and his family off to Japan last week.  Sent it priority.  Thank goodness he works on an airbase over there and has an APO address.  Saves me a lot of money since the PO got rid of surface mail several years ago.  Christmas cards are out.  Just need to wrap presents for our daughters.  Husband and I don't exchange gifts.  Got in that habit when I was a stay at home mom for many years.  I don't decorate any more since it is just the two of us plus I have tree allergies.  The National Zoo has a Zoo Light Festival we are planning on going to with our twin daughters this weekend.  It should be fun.  Last year they took over holiday cooking and I enjoy sitting back.  They are very good cooks and like to concoct recipes.  

    I enjoy everybody's company here and have learned so much more even after my surgery.  I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday.

    Hello, I just had to post a bit this morning. I have been lurking here for a while, have met many of you on other threads, just have not had the energy myself to get involved in another thread, but Fuzzy and Veggy have stirred my heart. I don't have the energy to respond to each of you and everyone else here, but just know that I KNOW you are both going through a whole bunch of crap and a lot of it needlessly.



    Fuzzy, my MO has tried to kill me with chemo, tamoxifen, multiple types of antidepressants, antiseizure meds, pain meds - all to treat SEs of other drugs, all giving me MORE SEs, and I now will take NOTHING that she prescribes. I still see her only because she does a thorough exam, and I am probably going to change MOs as soon as I get the energy to make the necessary calls. I DID fire my PCP and now have one who also specializes in palliative care, and she is WONDERFUL to recognize that there are more than drugs to treat some problems. I continue to struggle with depression, but my feelings are real, they are not blunted by drugs, I don't have to think through a fog or deal with heart palpitations, tremors, GI problems, and other unpleasant SEs. I really "get it" that you just don't have the energy to fight for what you need and want. I swear if I ever feel good again I am going to start a "patient advocate" service to protect patients from health care providers (and I was involved in the health care provider field for my entire career, sorry to say....).



    So this morning, I am sending special lovingkindness and gentle hugs to all you on this thread, praying that you have fewer nasty and/or dangerous encounters with the western medical profession.

    Fuzzy ditto Wren's and Linda-n3......But will add that if I'm correct you were to see the PS today( Mon). Away for a doc or anyone that has erred is to take the onous off themselves by misdirection. His error of saying your were overreacting, he's attempting to say you were depressed, thus implying you were responsible. Sounds really jaded, but seen it too often.                     Deconstruction talk?

    Rider in your pocket. I'll bring the milk. Can't have cookies without milk hmmm. Love tests that use sonor, nothing can go wrong!

    Linda-n3, love to see you here. Welcome draw up a chair and stay awhile :)

    Alyson Have you decided when you are coming to the USA? Route? Offer still stands.

    Kathindic :) You offer such consoling words. How can we help you?

    Veggy that cat picture, stared at it for quite awhile, very interesting to watch the way that Mama comforts her baby.

    Good mornings...

    Ya know, I really felt bad about posting all that negative stuff yesterday but after reading everyone's post, I feel really great about sharing that!! I know I get a little intense sometimes but I feel very supported and understood right now...something that was totally lacking yesterday.

    I woke up a little better today. Still a mess with photo sensitivity but im reading every post, hugging everybody, in pockets eating cookies

    Went to see my legman (easier to say that then try to spell prothesist (see I don't even know how to spell it)) today. Still need my stump to shrink more so he gave me a size 4 shrinker. I go back to see him in two weeks (would have been next week but he is on vacation) and he thinks by then we can start the process of getting my new leg... I am nervous and excited at the same time to get the new leg. Met a guy there today who has been an amputee for 16 years. He skis, plays tennis etc etc...



    The last two years of my life have been hell... Started in dec 2010 with the diagnosis of BC and I am hoping that with everything I have gone through since that I can maybe get my new leg, learn to use it and get back to living. Is that to much to ask. I really never had a chance to deal with having breast cancer before I ended up in the hospital with blood clots and then bypass surgeries more than once and then the amputation.. So when I cry it is for the BC and everything else i have gone through.. i just want to get back to living my life... Most of the time I try to stay strong for myself and my family... I will not give up.. I have two beautiful young granddaughters that I want to watch grow up... Is that to much to ask for... Ok I am rambling now.. Thinking of you all and wishing the best for everyone here...

    I like "leg man"....makes me smile and I can't spell the other either.

    You, without question, will get this new leg and rock it out!! Your granddaughters will brag to their husbands about your awesomeness and ask you to do tricks with it during special gatherings!! Honey, you're not asking for enough. You are such a joy and inspiration. You've been through hell in the past two years and I have only got to admire you for a fraction of that. You get that leg and show us all how its done!!! I love ya darling.

    Sorry Veggy. I hope the removal goes uneventfully. Some of this crap just takes time.

    Good luck with shrinking your stump Crog. I can't wait to read about you getting around on your new leg.

    Fuzzy, I'm glad you really got that we know where you are coming from and support you big time!

    Today I returned some gifts I changed my mind about, put a check I got as a gift in the bank, got my emissions inspected, bought and installed a new thermostat (I was so much more comfortable today. That other one was screwed up), and painted some more. I am done for a while now.

    Rider--yes, a couple of free weeks. Look forward to the time when you can look at your callendar Sunday and there are no appointments for that week.  AND then it becomes two weeks. Then three. SOO NICE.

    Dunes-- Laughed out loud when I read "got my emissions inspected, bought and installed a new thermostat (I was so much more comfortable today)". Understood what you were saying , BUT it was so much more fun taking it out of context.

    Fuzzy--you're starting to write like yourself--YAY.

    Crog---I agree "leg man" works. You ramble away girl. So much and you've never let loose. Let it fly out.

    I am home. Breast looks like it sucked a sour lemon. Its all sunk in. It doesn't look happy or perky. I have one drain.

    Bright side. I wore my dreadlock wig and picked on the nursed and had them all laughing. My friend took a pictureof me and the nurse who took care of me. She wanted the picture sent to her phone too. Had fun but glad to be home.

    Gentle half hugs.
