I hope she has that baby today!!!

Val...Call me anytime.......♥♥

Glad you are feeling good, Sandy.  I know how work can make you feel good, too.

I went to work yesterday expecting to be trained in aqttendance and the switchboard.  The office manager said she had heard great things about me from both of the women I had been training with and that she is sure neither of those areas would be an issue for me to pick up on, so they put me back in the finance office for the day.  The trainer was telling everyone who came in how much I had been helping her get things caught up.  Around 3 pm I got a call from the districyt office offering me a long term sub position at the school my middle son graduated from.  I told her about being gone next week and she said she'd check and see if they can deal with it.  I doubt they can, it's seven work days off, but I am excited at the prospect.  I do go to that job for three days next week.

It felt wonderful to get to work every day this week.

Hope you all are having a great weekend.

Meece...i love good news.....happy for you....

Sandy....Happy Weekend.....didn't plan anything yet

Happy Saturday all!

DIL says she is staying calm and quiet this weekend because she doesn't want to have the baby over the weekend.  Her doctor is not on call and she only wants him.  The baby's actual due date is April 16th, but they will deliver on the 12th unless she goes into labor early.  She texted me yesterdayasking how I made it through the 4+ weeks of contractions I had with DS3.  Every day I would have four or more hours of contractions that would make me think "this was it".

I gave her a pep talk and I think she feels a bit better now.

Meece....i'm glad pep talk helped. I never expeienced contractions....must be scary.....

Linda...Sorry about your loss.....Are you coming back tomorrow night?

Diane..how are you?

We all rock   We are survivors.

For several months now, I have had nonstop sore throat, loss of voice, sinus pain, extreme fatigue, and reflux.  I have had scans, xrays, testing for thyroid cancer, autoimmune diseases and allergy issues.  Thursday was day 3 after finishing antibiotics and I started feeling sick again.  Thursday afternoon, my bite felt off - like a tooth had repositioned.  I looked in the mirror and noticed that the one tooth that is a dental implant had black tissue around it.  Friday morning I called to get it checked because there's nothing I'd rather do than go to the doctor again.  Spent Friday afternoon in surgery getting the $4800 implant removed.  There was an infection that had gone to my jawbone - a piece of tissue had been left between the bone and the implant. The sound of having your jawbone scraped is horrible. Didn't feel like a toothache because there is no nerve, no local swelling.  Surgeon explained that he believes all of my symptoms will now disappear - when you have a "silent" infection and are swallowing bacteria constantly, all of those symptoms happen.  Despite the surgery and the big hole in my mouth, I feel much better today than I have in weeks.  Get the poison out of the body and then the antibiotic can work.  So the lesson is, if you have something unexplained going on, it's not always breast cancer or that breast cancer spread - it could be your damn tooth.   I really do feel better.

Monday morning, I go to see Shelby - I get teary just looking forward to it.  We skyped with her last night - she kept asking for Papa (DH), Cooper (our dog), and a cat (unknown).  She only has eyes for Papa right now but I will change that when I arrive with her new kitty stuffed animal.

Linda - sorry for your loss.

I don't remember if I posted here that at my last 6-mo Onc. check-up, my TM's had gone up some. It's been a hellish six months, trying not to think about it, wondering what it would be at my next appt. Well, had said appt last Friday & they have come down to almost my usual normal again. (Normal: <12 ~~  Last 6-mo ck: 23.7 ~~ Fri: 14.2) This is the dreaded CA27.29 TM test. Yay! Don't know what the cause was for the rise, but praying it doesn't happen again. Way. Too. Stressful.

Meecie ~ Like I am sure I have said before, you are the Energizer Bunny!! I so agree with learning as many aspects of your job as possible. Make yourself wanted. Let you be the one they think of first for subbing.

Well, Diane, for crying out loud! Who'da thunk it!?! So glad you are observant, & that you found out the root    cause of your continuing sore throat, etc. Hallelujah!! They should pay you for solving this puzzle!

My best to everyone!

(((TOL))) 

(Sheila ~ I'll try to call you this week. Hey, now, if you think your gonna have another day of 36 phone calls, received & sent, let me know...I'll postpone!!!! We can't have your ear falling off!)

Hi Val....those TM gives me so much anxiety......Sooo happy it's back to your normal again

LOL...please don't remind me that day all the phone calls.....almost every one of them was dreadful

I love talking on the phone with friends.....

Diane.....Sometimes DR's can't figure out what's wrong.... finally right before you see Cutie pie.....you'll start feeling better

Linda....safe trip......And YES we all Rock....

My glasses are ready...i need to call and make an appointment.....

Meece good luck with your fight....Once they make a mistake don't even try to fix it.........

You all have a wonderful day

Sandy....Good for you....Macy's rocks.....I haven't been there for a while....but i always find something that fits me and the right price after all the discounts

HUUUUUUUUUGS♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

So sorry Diane, how are you today?

Val....that isn't good...let us know....

Shiela thanks and Macy's was good, feet hurt and now i can't work for 3 weeks cause of chemo...

Meece DIL is lucky to have you...

Ducky and Granny check in!!

Chrisi where ru ?

Sandy - I feel terrible whining when you are in the midst of chemo.  Thank you for asking - I feel so much better than I have in months!

Linda - hope the funeral wasn't too hard and that you all got home safely.

Sheila - I can't believe I will see her tomorrow.  I need her in my arms.

Meece - so glad mine didn't go that far!  Good luck this week.  I am guessing the baby is still "in"?

I bet Ducky had a heck of a good time and we are in for some stories.

Where are Chris and Deb and Joan and Val?

Nice to see you again pt dreamers - wet enough for you?  Now where is chabba?

Yes, I am flying - it is just about 2 hours, driving is 12/13 hours....

I don't think wet describes it. We are  getting soaked and have several more days coming.

Diane -I'm glad you finally found out what has been making you sick  - I hope all your ills go away after this.  It's amazing that they don't take dental issues more seriously - dental "insurance" is "assistance" at best. 

I hope your dental billing gets straightened out soon, Meece.  I went without the additional gum surgery I was supposed to have because I couldn't get a billing error straightened out and by the time I found out they had written it off(2 yrs later), I found out I had cancer and then figured I shouldn't have it until I was done with that. Now it's been 6 yrs since I was supposed to have the surgery and I've still not had it(graft to correct recession.) 

So sorry about DH's aunt, Linda.

Been tired - it has gone back and forth - good days and bad - every other day it seems.  I'll have a bad day, then the next day is good, then the next day is bad...  Oh well.

The week ended with DD doing the Relay for Life.  It was COLD and windy.  I woke up at 5 am and heard the wind gusting and felt so bad that she was camping out in it.  But they made out okay.  Bad thing was that she and her friends had made brownies and muddy buddies to sell.  Others at the Relay didn't have stuff to sell, so they went out and got some stuff (from where I don't know).  Our girls sold most of the muddy buddies, but didn't sell many brownies because others started selling brownies.
