Fuzzy's Romp Room

Crog, so sorry for your loss.  It is very hard to watch a loved one pass away.  Your mom is at peace now with our Lord.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  ((((HUGS))))

Cindy and Fuzzy, continued prayers for peace as you grieve your losses.

Ridergirl, am in your pocket today for chemo - hope all goes smoothly with no major surprises.

I am feeling particularly down today, maybe because of all the losses here, maybe still pain & fatigue. Called my own mother and she is coming for a visit soon. I think you have all made me remember just how precious those mother-daughter moments are.

Veggy, glad you get a little reprieve right now.  Do go do something y ou enjoy!

Love ya Fuzzy.

Fuzzy - thinking of you x x

Dear Fuzzy, so sorry for more trauma you had to go through, even though the news turned out to be ok, it is very, very hard.  Rest easy now and take good care of yourself.

What tree is it Esther? It sure is pretty.

I'm off to the plastic surgeon, probably for my last appointment. I know he wants to do a nipple, but I don't want any more done. It's tempting to do it just so I can see him again. He was the bright spot in the whole ordeal, at least as far as doctors go. He's just so darned cute, the way he enjoys his work so. LOL

Cherry?

Gma, Do you know the variety? We have a gravenstein and a macoon. The latter makes a great pie.

We got a pear tree with multiple kinds grafted on. The dog dismantled it. We stuck the branches back into the graft sites and they grew, but we have no idea what kind of pears we have.

I get to see my plastic surgeon again in 6 months. Yay! LOL My god he is such a sweet man. He came in the room, sat down next to me, and said "I understand you were hospitalized" with such caring in his eyes, tears came to my eyes. Then, the way he asked about what caused it, was so sweet and gentle, I had to tell him not to make me cry. I don't get a lot of that. Even mom, as supportive as she was to take me to the hospital and to pick me up with all she has going on, does not think of anxiety and depression as a real thing. It's an annoyance to her, whereas she was so totally there for me during the mastectomy. Anyway, all is well with the implant. He said the scar is starting to pucker a little and that I should get Scar Guard. He sooooooo loves his work. It's nice to have a man admire my boobs. LOL

Dunes, I am SO GLAD you have a caring and compassionate PS! They are few and far between!!!! At least you got lucky on that one!

My mom is also one of those who think you should just pull yourself up by your bootstraps and get on with things, doesn't tolerate what she considers self-pity, doesn't understand anxiety. I have talked with her a few times about this when we were both in a positive frame of mind, and she had such different life experiences than I have had, and I think that has made a tremendous difference in how we handle stress and anxiety. So now I understand this, I can actually cut her a little slack, shrugging it off as "that's just how Mom is" and not let her add to my distress. And the truth is, sometimes I actually DO need someone to figuratively "smack me up the side of the head" and tell me to get on with things when I start getting too caught up in the mental issues, but other times I really need someone to be understanding, empathetic, and sympathetic, and so I come here. So lots of hugs to you tonight, and I am so glad to see you here.

Fuzzy - we are here.  So touched by your strength and your love.  Hugs dear one.  I have been gone several days and just found the post.

Edited to add, after reading other pages, Cindy,your om too.  Hugs for you.  It is so hard.  And your dad is stil there, living with you and not doing well, right?  Remember my DH parents were still in their home when she dies last month.  So tremendou of a gift that you helped them stay together like that.

Wren - can you arrange a godparent for your cat?  That is what we are doing for our pets.  The what if is always lurking, bc or car accident, so planning ahead is a good thing.

Esther - loved the quilt, you quilt the way I would, fleece backing.  But I never did get it together enough to quilt the pieces I have.  Too small to think about.  A large piece would work.  With pictures like your mountaintop.

Have 30 more episodes of Brothers and Sisters to watch.  Then I might try readng a fiction book again.

Dunes - yes, it s so good to see you here, you are very much needed.  When you left another thread some months back I missed you so mch from there that I followed you to here.  Where we both remain, quite content in Fuzzy's Room.  I am glad you have aPS who understands the torture of this disease.  I was with endocrinologist and dentist yesterday, both kind men who are helping me so much.  Sadly, my #1 oncologist is moving in a week, to Alaska.  Dang.

Veggy, I keep forgetting to take the Arimidex.  No matter where i put it, but I do rememer several hours later when, for instance, someone like you saysthey forgot thei meds, hen I go omg, darn it again, and I take it.  So thank you - that is one sunray in the forgetting.  Hope you are feeling stable again, not weird.

Essa - We are glad that we have been able to keep their wish of keeping them in their own home.. Yes my father is not doing well either...



Cindy

This has been my mornings all week - very foggy/cloudy, just like my brain.. Can't keep it together girls.. need help... I'm going to put out a question that has been bugging me and my BS isn't around to ask - If I were to have a mastectomy - would that get rid of all my nerve pain in my breast??? I'm tired of gaba, pain creams, chest spasms... I'm going crazy.. OR am I just a wimp?
