    Veggy, sour lemon, well we keep saying BC sucks.

    Fuzzy, :), need to finish about insentive spirometer--still some huffing & puffing to go over.

    SpecialK, Ds coming home Fri--till Dec 26th. It will be the longest stretch since Nov 2010. Yay.

    Crog, blessings.        

    Dunes hope all is buzy buzy buzy so, you don't go through computer withdrawal :)

     sassy

    Have hesitated adding this b/c there has never been a time here without crisis, but it's important. This thread is so very important. It was written by Ma111  who passed away this summer, but her thread "A Place to talk of Death and Dying Issues" continues under the watchful eye of BON. Ma's thread has much helpful information as well as a place to share all thoughts. Pg 18 has some very practical preparation info. I'll bring the link for page one. The info on all the pages is not just for the dying. We don't know the hour or manner of our demise, being prepared is a gift that we can give our dear ones. So, preparation is for all.

    ((((Veggy))))

    so...I got ripped up by my PS for being on the pain meds. Fine. I cut it down to one at bed time. Did that for two days and decided that just sucks way too much. So, im back on the meds. But, they really put me down...but at least its not as painful. F-IT...if he gets pissy with me I'll talk to my MO.

    Wow. This snowstorm is getting

    wicked! I've never really heard the wind howl like it is. Maybe 7 inches of snow so far...but its blowing and is on top of 2 inches of slush!

    DH went to his Christmas party tonight. I had to send him by himself. I can't believe they didn't cancel it!! Hey...lets have a few beers and drive home in this crappy weather!! Dumb dumb dumb.

    Im kinda messing up a lot of traditions this year...but, it'll all come together.

    Dunes Merry Christmas to you and yours hon..hope everything is great for you and look forward to hearing all about it when you get back.

    Fuzzy Good for you for taking care of you...seems like some drs have all the right answers but the pieces just don't fit with what we as individuals need.  You do what you gotta do..and if that means you need to stay home...so be it. Hope DH does get home safe just the same. Kinda know what you mean about the traditions, except with me it's I wanna do everything we've ever done plus everything I've ever thought of wanting to do...think I am driving my mom insane but it's almost like...just in case this is my last one...kinda weird feeling

    Fuzzy, Veggy , once I get my head out of my ass, I will be right there with you with some hugs..................

    It can't get much worse, and right now i can't even talk about it.  The only thing I can say is "well its not  a report saying my cancer is back"..................when we would have something happen in our family we would always say "well at least its not cancer"........couldn't say that anymore, but I can say......at least its not back..............but that doesn't make what happens in life any easier to handle............maybe I will tell you all about it tomorrow......right now, I'm sad, depressed, tired, and wondering............like the song says "is That All There Is"..............gonna go to bed, and try to sleep........put the "problems to sleep too".....................if I can............love you all............does it ever end..................I don't think so..........oh yea, that's right.........when you close your eyes for the final time....................Cry.......never say goodnight without a hug......

    Rider....Hon, I know what you mean in my weird little way. I have a thread dedicated to my girls....just in case, ya know? So, you go girl!!!

    Ducky...totally ready to listen when you are ready to talk. I for one do not believe I'll ever have a normal again. Each time I've tried to settle in, the shitstorm brews up. Whatever you are going through, we are here for you. You are always here for me and we Are sisters. We always have each other. This is a special group that you're in...You need me, im here...always. get your rest tonight...sleep sweet honey. Tomorrow, you let it out so we can collectively beat the tar outta it; )

    Saying hugs to all just doesn't seem like enough today.  You are all in my thoughts and prayers all the time.  I don't think anyone can understand the crap we deal with like each other ...

    Merry Christmas to all - an even if it's not the merriest of times in our lives, we are alive!  We have people around who we love and love us!  If nothing else, that's enough.

    Ditto to all (Rider, Fuzzy, Mama, Gail ,Veggy) about being ALIVE !!!!!!!! Sad, but true story, you all know what DH and I went through, 2010 in Jan-- DH's brother 48y/o turning 49 in 2 days, died of an aneurysm. It was < 3 seconds. We don't know the time ,place, and circumstances, but we are here. Each moment is a gift.

    As you know DBF is moving in, today we decided his dog that he rescued (long story) is coming tonight. This has been talked about for weeks. DBF didn't want to bring him. The dog was going to stay with exroommate, but roommate had an accident this week,  will be unable to care for him. There is a freeze warning for florida, DBF's dog has been an outside dog since his rescue. This is a cascade of events. So, the dogs, mine and his will meet tonight. Both a similar age-around 6 y/o. Both fixed. One male, the other (mine) female. Both + or - 70 lbs. Both with tails. Sounds wierd to say, but two wagging tails on tall dogs, need to watch more carefully about things. LOL. Will limit lifestyle more, but we are willing to do that. They both have been similarly spoiled and identify strongly with each "mom and dad". !00 x 200 fenced yard, they can play,tumble and run. The key is will it work. I've trained dogs all my life. Not meet this dog. Hope all that I've learned does well.

    Oh yes, DS and DBF's DD meet for the first time tomorrow. This is my first time meeting her too. So, the next days will be eventful.

    All of this was unplanned before yesterday. What a difference a day makes !!!!

    Ducky, ditto to everyone else, let it all out. We will be here for you.

    Dunes, know you don't have access, but now half way thru DEC 21st. only 12 hours to go........

    Expect to talk with everyone throughout the holiday/holydays, but just in case someone is gone as Dunes is, have a blessed and blissful Season and New Year. May we all say the same greetings next year and for mucho years to come. Namaste sheila

    Getting ready to go for chemo. One day at a time. One appointment at a time. Trying not to get overwhelmed. I'm glad I have xannax from the operation. It will help me stay mellow.

    Hugs to all. You all mean so much to me.

    Veggy Have a good uneventful day and the days that follow. Know you've had ativan on hand before. Xanax and Ativan in the same family, shouldn't be taken together :).

    Anyone taking Tamox and Effexor should read the post by kayb and myself on the Hot flash forum. KayB's post covers current, off the presses, research about drug interaction between tamox and effexor. My post identifies the cytochrome P450 need to know info.

    SAS, Had to laugh about the wagging tails. We realized that people familiar with our dog always grabbed their coffee cups when she came by. She was a shepherd/yellow lab mix. She is the one who convinced our kitten that he was a dog.

    I know about the xanax and ativan. I put the ativan away for now. Chemo went fast. Now I am tired and hungry. My son made chicken soup and I'm waiting for that to heat up.

    Veggy, just OCD, have seen to many overdoses b/c people didn't know. Two family groups I have seen most often are the Benzo's, and Narcotics paired with tylenol. Biggest offending drug is tylenol b/c in high mgs. causes liver and kidney failure. It became a mission to get the word out when I found too many nurses didn't know about tylenol/acetominophen/apap was in their pain pills they were administering, and then they would administer more tylenol on top of pain med. Let's not think if they didn't know >>how could they teach their patients????

    Wren--yes, grab the cups and glasses LOL. No treasures on tables at tail level. Similar to baby-proofed, the house is tail-proofed LOL. BTW makes me think we haven't heard from ESSA. Danny Boy is ESSA's right. OR is  he Gails? I always get it mixed up. :)

    Dogs did well, DBF didn't get that the dogs wouldn't settle for awhile. Duh--"Dad, we gotta play". Dini had fleas. Vet gave me a pill that would start killing them in 30 minutes. But it took many hours. Dini had to sleep in gargage. I put down a special insulation, layers of towels, pillow, and space heater. It was warmer than the house. WE had our freeze. Everyone would laugh at us in florida when it comes to cold. We have no tolerance BRHHH. Sure wish I had the whelping box we made--insulated on the bottom side and raised off the floor 5 inches. But dini now in house, Dogs played quietly, learning each others limits. Now asleep. So far, dini's not marked any territory Yay. Hope neither get into that!

    Fuzzy, sure wish doc's would learn about Pain. The research has been difinitely done and published since 1985-86. There's a thread I worked on awhile back. I'll bring the link. Page1 has evaluation of pain. Then page two got into addiction talk. Really took away from page one. But you might find some help there.Concentrate on page one. Ah well link not on Favs list, will try to locate.

    Dunes , know you can't see yet, but WE MADE IT !!!!!!!!!!! dEC 22ND. dID YOU NOTICE THAT YESTERDAYS DATE 12/21/12. The number 21 was the reverse of 12. Won't happen for another century.

    I haven't had any pain with this peration. So I think I an going to stop taking the pain pills and just take regular tylenol for the pain. I am so constipated and I have been taking otc and natural things to help. I have told my oncologist. The draining has been good. If it keeps up the drain will be coming out on Wednesday... only one week later. I slept the whole night last night. Thankful for that. Thankful for my friends here.

    Hugs!

    Hello everyone....I fell off my wagon again. Im not sure if its cabin fever, meds, or what but yesterday I was just in a nasty funk. Today, the pain seemed better and my mood was instantly improved. My PICC comes out Monday and then I can stop being sick from the antibiotics!

    Veggy....you sound wonderful!!!! Ah!! Moving to tylenol is a HUGE deal!!

    SASSY....oh how Awesome the pups get along!!! And now they are playmates!! That's so great!!!

    I want everyone to feel the magic of this holiday season...find the joy and embrace this time of year. I know for some of us, me included, its so much different than years past...but, that's going to be ok. It will happen and we can make the most of it with our family, friends and/or each other. That's my wish...

    Veggy, so glad you are feeling better with the pain. Here's a link to the constipation thread. 7 pages dicussing poop and the going or rather the not going. Lots of good suggestions by members. If your up to leaving any puns or pics, they are welcome. The topic leaves itself wide open to lay or drop one in.

    http://community.breastcancer.org/forum/6/topic/781867?page=7#idx_205

    Fuzzy ditto on the wishing. Dogs doing well. My stuffed 20+y/o pound puppy has an amputated ear, but it's sewable. Didn't have it high enough. Dini is so sweet. She's so happy to be in the house. I think a few fleas may have survived. But I have SLUG_A_BUG--like Terimex, to the rescue they will come like MIGHTY MOUSE to save the day. Neck stuff goes on in the am. Met DBF's DD, she's very sweet. DS gave me a talk on what to say and do around her. Not used to 17 y/o girls. Not offended, it was give me as much info as possible. Wanted it to work.
