OMG They Found the Cure for Stupid

I thinking bonjovi's old hang out on the highway near you, sorry GD we did not get there so if you get back in town,......

Yes Cami, I had the biopsy yesterday.  It's not good news.  The surgeon and pathologist apparently can't tell from the frozen section if it is mets or a different type of cancer.  They need to do some special staining?  Mets in the soft tissue of the lower leg would be very unusual I'm told.

Oh Sharon, Im so sorry. When will you find out? Alyson, Im sorry about your friend. Gma hugs and prayers to you, too. Went on a little trip to the SC state fair and had a good time, saw dancing bears and racing pigs, and the best fried donuts ever. Got in free cause it was disabilities day. Now if that's not a perk.....

  The surgeon  thinks we might know more on Monday.

 Thanks Mary and Cami and all

Dutch.......remember what I said.......now is the hardest part.........my kids and many others gave me the "stay positive bullshit", and the don't worry it could be nothing crap...., and it's probably nothing song and dance...........I hated it because I hated cancer! was petrified of it! and did not want to be told "to be a brave little soldier"............I was not brave and was not going to pretend I was........I could not think positive, nor could I stop worrying....

So I will just say to you......this is the hardest part........not knowing........so dear friend......you feel however you want to........hugs, love, and prayers....

Hey Firecracker .........how are you...........I might get my hands smacked by the Mods for what I just posted, but there is no sugar-coating waiting for that phone call...........don't worry......"who are we kidding".........if your not worried about getting that kind of news, then you are a "brave little soldier but I have yet to find 1......., and I will admit.....worrying does not change the outcome.......but don't dare tell me how to feel.

I have the right to worry, feel sorry for myself, and have a pity party...................like the song says......IT'S MY PARTY, AND I'LL CRY IF I WANT TOO...........ok, so I am a 50's gal............hugs

Mary.......I hope "how bad" is not part of the equation.........will pray for better news then your expecting.....your a fighter Mary...........you don't have to be brave to fight........you have to have the will to keep trying against all odds.........you are doing that, and that makes you a fighter......small battles....one at a time.........maybe someday we will all win the war.........in the meantime we pray.........

And I'll pray.....

I  am not bothered by anything anyone has said.  I am bothered by a local hospital newspaper ad.   It says " Don't be 1 in 8.   Early detection is the key."   Don't be 1 in 8?   Does that mean we have a choice?  

I'm actually not worrying to much  today.   I'm keeping myself distracted somewhat.   However, in  distracting myself, I  have caused my ankle to swell  tremendously.

Don't we all worry to some extent? I know I do. Ducky your words are so true. Mary, Don't be so sure about the medications making you so sick, usually with me its the stuff that's not supposed to be hard on you that knocks me on my butt. The stuff that is supposed to be hard, I sail through. Gemzar was supposed to be easy, but Im sick 4 out of 7 days. Remember everyones different. Im hoping for better news than your expecting. Wedding countdown underway, 3 weeks from today. I found my boots finally, so Im ready except for a hat, hoping my hair will be back enough to not need one. Veggy, you losing your hair on Gemzar? Mines coming back finally after a year, its all white now:( Not a pretty white either.

 Yes  luv, I  know to prop my leg up.  I  have been bad.   College campus tour with my with youngest  yesterday.   Grocery shopping  and looking for a winter coat after surgery Thursday.   If my feet go up my eyelids go down.   It will be happening soon.

Mary - Yee gads, I wouldn't have a clue about slow dancing or really dancing of any kind. Yes, practice with the boots and try on what kind of hose, tights, knee highs you need. Take a soft comfy pair to change into. Can't be happy for long if your feet hurt.

Sharon - I know the feeling about feet up/eyes closed. My DH works until 9 pm so afternoons might find me falling over on the couch. I can sleep upright in most any position but find it harder sometimes in bed. OOO - college looking. Did you find anything to suit her/you? I have one child, daughter age 26. I remember those days though we only looked at 2. She went 2 years to local comm. college, 2 years to state univ. You must live in east or north. I have one good wool coat I drag out maybe every 2-3 years. North Texas does get cold but usually I can get by with heavy jacket. Not like I'm standing out in cold for hours or dressing up much. I have a nice selection of black sweaters for church wear. Also a nice selection of unisex "goat coats" DH and I share.

Oh wow, Yes, I understand the need for a heavy coat. I've only lived in the south/southwest as an adult. Never anywhere near cold as Wisconsin. Fall is my favorite time of year, winter is usually OK until Jan/Feb. We can get ice/snow and usually have couple good snows. Rather not have the ice and knock on wood haven't had the tree-coating kind in many years. We still need rain, rain, rain. What we've had had been great, slow soakers in DFW area but not doing anything for lake levels - water supply.

Sounds like you have a lovely daughter. Hope 1st or 2nd choices come through. What does she plan on studying?

Oh very good professions. I tried to talk DD into PT/OT but she would have none of it and prob for the best. She also considered law enforcement which I could see her in too. She started out accounting major but had a wee bit too much fun in the dorm and made a C I think in 2nd semester acct. That caused shift to supply chain mgmt. She grad. in 2009 and took a summer internship with retailer. Impressed them and offered her full time job.
