May 2013 surgeries

Do you have to get the name brand or will generic work as well?

Steph-Sounds like busy day for you!  You must be really proud of your daughter!

Claritn is an allergy medicine and it helps by reducing the allergic reaction that the body has from neulesta shot or chemo. I had bad bone pain and I took the claritin so I would hate to know how bad it couldve been

Bless you all. I don't think I'm old until I hear the number said out loud and then it sounds really old. I do have a good attitude and am very young at heart. I love life!



This Sunday afternoon is my 'itty bitty no pity for the titty' party. My guest book is a 42DD black bra on a torso mannequin, with a few pink embellishments. Everyone will sign it using a silver pen. My sister and a few girlfriends have had the best time planning the silly games complete with booby prizes. I made up pink ribbon gift bags for everyone to take home with them. Best of all, our daughter is flying back from Knoxville, TN. so I will be taking most of next week off. I can hardly wait.

Ann that sounds like a blast! Have a great time! I can't wait for pics! 

g'night everyone! sweet dreams

Ann- That sounds awesome, hope you guys have lots of fun! Love your new avatar pic, you look fab!!!!!!



I took a late afternoon nap so I will be up for a while, bleh! Nothing to watch on tv and ive read the whole internet by now...lol.



Having some major nerve pain today, had tried to move to taking just advil but had to take a vicodin tonight. I called ps office to let them know because I dont like being medicated and she said that its normal for the procedure I had. She called me in a refill to last me until my appointmet with them next week. Hanging in there until it gets better.



Still havent left the house but got up and walked out to the front porch several times today so thats good. Left side and tummy are healing well, have a couple of bad spots on my right side incision.



Thats my rant for today, thanks for listening and hugs to all!

Good late evening:



I gather from briefly reading some of the posts here, some of you have had the "pleasure" of experiencing seroma issues. My problem started 3 weeks post surgery and now today (6 weeks post op) my right breast is also leaking. I see my PS tomorrow, but would love to receive feedback from anyone.



I had BMX w/DIEP reconstruction. Left breast tissue failed and I have a temporary implant.



Thank you.

Cyndie- Sorry you had to cancel your vacation. I did have the diep done and I was able to walk the second day after surgery but very short distqnces and very bent over. Week three is when things turned around and I was able to straighten up more, Im still not 100% upright but close. The pain has been off and on and is more annoying than anything. Right now the vicodin is the only thing that helps. I cant get myself uo from a lying flat position and it stretches my tummy to much to lay in the bed. Using a recliner which I can lift myself out of pretty well now. The first two weeks I needed someone else to help me out of it.

Lol, yeah not to much sleep for me. It is hard sleeping in recliner but I will nap later.



I have to share somethng cute that just happened. My recliner is in master br next to the bed where dh sleeps. So this morning after dh leaves for work my daugte sneeks into the bed. Our puppy came up to the bed and whined at her and in her sleep she says "Go away you mangy dog". I busted up laughing cause she is out cold. So cute!

Ck: you just crack me up sometimes. lol



Well I'm on my way to Charleston for my PS appt. and it's just pouring rain. I sure hope it clears up soon.



Ann your party sounds like it's going to be awesome. I can't wait to hear about it.

Wow you have major changes coming!  Had ya'll planned to move before you were diagnosed?..It sounds like you have a great  MIL!

Cyndy-Drive careful. I think it is raining in Charleston as well.  I know they are calling for it to move up this way..which is strange as it generally doesn't come from there to here..but either way..its dark outside now.  So be careful and good luck!

I'm feeling very very lazy today. I was thinking I need to get dressed..might rev me up.  I think the whole slug on the couch thing Janet did sounds wonderful today.

Sounds like you married well!..Well, after ya'll get past all this madness things will be good. And you are right about economy there..is very good.  I lived in Rock Hill for 10 years and Charlotte a bit.  When we go there, it amazes me how much its grown up.  Especially Rock Hill (have lived in Sptbg now for 14 years). Its like Charlotte is slowly sliding towards Rock Hill. Def to Tega Cay and Fort Mill..I can't tell Pineville from Charlotte now.  Thats good for ya'll!

Good  morning girls.  Thanks ckmoss on the hair cut compliment.  I actually like it better than the longer hair.  

I'm stiff and sore this morning.. again like every morning when I wake up.  It takes me about 15 minuts just to stretch and do exercises and then get out of bed.  OUCH. I really hope that this pain does go away.  Its something I'm gonna ask the doctor.  

Chin, glad you made it safe.  

Sweet - good luck on the house moving. It's great to have such supportive family.

Sorry if I missed anyone.  Time to start my day.  Wish me luck! I go into work for 1030 ish (when I get there LOL), have my dr appt with my mom (talk about our breakdown and so my mom can finally meet the doc) and then back to work until 6 pm (or later).  If I could drink.. a ceasar would be in order for the end of the day.. ahh maybe a virgin one may be called for! LOL  

Have a great day all! And remember... keep kicking it and reach for the sky today! xxooxx

Janet-You are halfway home baby!!!!!  I am so excited for you!

My friends are all the time sending me funnies through text to lift my spirits.  I received a text this morning..background was all black and in white letters through the middle it said

                                            SHIT CREEK SURVIVORS

lol

Cyndy-Im glad all went well! Have safe trip back!  ..and here's to fluffy breasts!

That sounds yummy! You know what? I noticed that since my diep I havent been able to eat large portions of food, so eating smaller more frequent meals. I think Ive lost a pound or two just from that even though Im sitting on my rear 24/7 LOL.
