    Ducky, thinking of you, these anniversaries are tough. L&H&P's sassy.

    Chevy, I remember you were so reticent to go and take care of the girls when you first did it this spring b/c of your childhood memories. Now you're inviting people to go with you :) happy for you.

    TekaSmile

    Chevy don't corrupt Teka she's so nice cuz u've started on LILLI.

    Hey Sas r u getting enough rest---cuz I know u.

    My brain has just gone blank again, I'm going to the Dr. next week and asking for a B shot or something I can not get any energy up so I'm overfloopy.

    Mary I'm in your pocket tomorrow... I'll bring snacks ;)



    Thanks everyone for the well wishes on our anniversary. We are up enjoying Winter Park the mountains are beautiful!!! Thank goodness much cooler!!



    Ducky I'm so sorry about your loss!!! Love that you can be surrounded by family keep happy memories close. I know you will see each other again just not yet. Wish I could give you a big hug! I can't wait to come to the shore next year. I was so sad this was the first year in 33 years I didn't have my feet in the Jersey sand because of treatment. I love closing my eyes and pretending I am at the shore, heaven on earth!!



    So... We were getting the last packing done Friday night for the movers that were coming on Sunday and the guy backed out of our contract!!! So frustrating we were supposed to close on the 6th!!! So moved all the boxes left the furnature and put the house back on the market needless to say what an ordeal!!!! But what ever happens, happens... God will guide us. Please pray we sell it and things go smoothly the second go around.



    ChickaD hope you feel better... Sleep it off and drink, drink, drink!!



    Sending hugs you amazing, beautiful, intelligent hooligans!!!



    Sweet Pea xoxoxo

    Hi gals..... Sorry Ducky.... I just can't imagine.   Sometimes when I complain, I just have to get over it, and Thank God we still have each other.

    I've been "talking" to another gal who lost her hearing while on Tamoxifen!  Trying to help her figure out what to do next...  

    Yes Mary.... Lilli has the right idea.... I'll bring the scrambled eggs.... er, I mean  Margaritas!  

    Have fun Sweet Pea!  Yes, it WAS cooler out yesterday!  A little hot today, but oh well!  xoxoxoxo

    My hubby and I celebrated 45 years of marraige in August and he has been such a support for me thru this "C" ordeal and reconstruction....and multiple billing snafu's....(SAS: IT IS NOT MY PROBLEM....right?)

    When ones we love, leave this life, whether we love them for a day or night or for many many years we will never be the same as they touched our life.

    I saw this story about Fred and Lorraine on the news and cried  like a baby:

    Morning gals....  Di, this is a different link to the same story!  I couldn't get sound with the other one....

     


     

    And Miss Chickers!   Congratulations miss fancy pants!  Good for you!

     

    Hi Teka, Spookie Juliaanna, and Mary.... Mary.... thinking of you today...

     

    They're HOME...!  Dang!  So no more eggs for awhile...  DH always said, "can't we just BUY eggs?  Don't they sell them at the store?" 

    Not the same, I say....    Most men just don't GET it...Ha!

    Good morning Hoolies---

    Mary we're with u but still tell us what going on I'm sure we won't hear much with Chevy squakin' about her eggs, well not her very own ones, but the chickens so let us know.

    ChickaD last time for this crap--Good For u--YYAAAYYY

    OK I think I'm figuring out about my floopiness, Remember I stopped Aromasin a while back and I started it up a little while ago and I think my body is readjusting--Cuz this was reminding me of something but I couldn't remember, then my legs started again00well my back and my side are a done deal but other things too, I just forgot. But I'm still going to ask for the Vitamin B--so be patient wih me.

     Sass!  How cool is that that you are working with Di?   

    And I'm PMing a gal that also lost her hearing while on Tamoxifen....  I can't really HELP her, but at least she knows this has happened before, and what to expect, and won't be so afraid.

    At least with hearing aids, our hearing can be somewhat "normal" again... Well maybe not "normal" but better than not hearing at all.

    Cammi!  I can STILL hear you, ha!  What is "floopiness?"  I thought that was your normal.  Aromasin?   I think that one makes you hurt all over?  Or do you get used to it?  

    Okay....  I had better get busy.... still dark out, so I CAN'T go wandering outdoors yet...   It's too hard to get up after I fall!  Wink

    Okay Gang,
    I know I've been somewhat remiss about checking in, but I've been busier than ever with my practice and now I had another rather strange medical issue arise.

    How's this for a weird side-effects story?

    As you might recall, I suffered a stroke in April, a little more than a year after finishing chemo and starting Tamoxifen. The effects were minimal, but it was more than just a simple transient ischemic attack. The diagnosis traced the problem to 1) a neck injury I suffered in a bicycle-racing accident 30 years ago and 2) the increased clotting that results from Tamoxifen. So, they gave me a host of drugs, including Plavix and aspirin. 

    Things were going well and this summer my oncologist even restarted me on Tamoxifen again.

    So all is hunky dory until last week, when I felt that gap between my arm and chest tightening up ... almost like the swelling I had on my chest after the bilateral mastectomy. Well, it wasn't my chest. It turned out that my left bicep was swelling to the point that it looked like I was flexing my guns at muscle beach or something. I freaked and dashed off to the doc's office ... even though the receptionist was reluctant to get me in on short notice. (WTF? Middle-aged man, with a history of stroke and cancer reporting severe pain in his left arm. What do you have to do to get noticed in that office?!?!?!?!)

    Three hours of ultrasound and MRI exams later, the doctors determined that I had suffered a "spontaneous hemorrhage" somewhere in my left bicep muscle ... and there is nothing they can do about it. Well, we did one thing: I got the #$%^ off of Plavix. It turns out they have cancelled more than one study involving the Plavix/Aspirin combo because the mortality rate from spontaneous hemorrhaging was more than twice that of the Aspirin-only control group. I guess I am lucky this happened in my arm, rather than my brain or G.I. tract.

    Now, four days later, my arm looks like someone attacked it with a tire iron, with a solid purple bruise running all the way from my underarm to my wrist. (I'd put up a photo, but it's ugly.)

    Even the doctors and nurses who see it say "Holy Shit!" - or something along those lines.

    What makes things worse is that this is the arm from which they removed 11 lymph nodes, so it is going to take for-frickin-ever for this to clear up.

    Anyway, I am simply mentioning this as a cautionary tale about the potential negative interactions and side-effects of drugs, even when prescribed by a doctor in whom you have a lot of faith. I trusted the neurologist's recommendation and did not take the time to do the necessary background reading.

    Aside from that little kerfuffle, things are going well, though.

    I hope all of you are doing well or, in the alternative, at least making progress toward doing well.
