Tampa area BCO sisters get togethers

ameron, sorry they have you waiting again. I wish you the best outcomes! I hope you are given good words very soon.

Lee7, good luck on your AI switch! Hope it is a successful change with no SE!!

Dang, Bucs! They just can't get a win this year!!! bnotes, galsal & Special K, hope you 3 had fun at the game anyway. Speaking of football, how tragic and so sad about Adrian Peterson's son.

Spookiesmom, are you surviving all the birthdays? Enjoy the cake and ice cream!

Special K, Happy belated Birthday! Hope it was a great day for you!

Galsal, Details...oh do tell, how was the speed dating? I thought about going to one of the events pre-bc, but I chickened out. I totally get the whole "out of your comfort zone". I do hope it is/was lots of FUN! I'd love to hear the scoop...it might motivate me to go try it.

Btw, so far it seems the Sulfasalazine is helping the Rheumatoid and hand swelling. Got sun burned rather much from today's event although could have been oodles worse.

Wasn't some one having a biopsy? Any update? Prayers and thoughts for whom ever it is...memory is gone about which one. Sorry!

GalSal,

Be very careful about it. My cousin had her eyebrows done and at first they looked good but in short order the browns faded and her eyebrows looked blue! She said she needed another touch up. Her brow shape had to be made bigger too, to cover over the areas where the color bled and looked blue. Permanent sounds good, but permanent IS permanent and if you don't like it you're really stuck. Just my opinion....

So I'm rocking out to Life is a Highway and then to Doobie Bros while driving home from work today. At a light, guy in a Beemer is trying to get my attention so I roll down the window and say Hello. He says to me, I wanted to know what radio station you're rockin' out to. Told him 104.7, Doobie Bros. He gets this blank look on his face and I'm saying you don't know them? He says knows of them, never heard their music. Tells me he's in his 50s. I'm like, Dude I went to see them in concert in 78. In my mind I'm thinking how could you NOT have heard them if you're in your 50s. Says to me you're not from here, you rolled the window down. Asks me if I'm into sports. Ummm, no not unless it's the Red Wings or Bears. He laughs and says that might help and when are we going out. Says don't you know who I am, do you. I'm like Nope, should I. Says yes I should. Tells me to check out a specific radio station. Checked things out when I got home. Former Tampa Buc and radio person was hitting me up. LMAO Btw, he wasn't born until I was a Senior in High School. Doh! That made far more sense than not knowing any Doobie Bros music. I'm thinking it must be the new do and wheels. LMAO. I'd almost asked how well that bit about don't you know who I am works for him. It was an interesting ride home for sure.

Son was like, Mom you should have said yes so I could brag about it. LMAO

Hello all of my BCO Sisters!

I'm finished with the non-stop month of October! My son turned 16 today so we spent this last October weekend with relatives on the east coast of Florida! Whew! Having said that..............

I'm ready to have all of you here, in my "hood". It would really help if we could have a Potluck Luncheon Dishes type of get together. I'll provide the beverages which will include a spiked punch! Please send me a message so I can send you my address and phone number. Oh, I'm really hoping as many of you as possible will join us. These get togethers are my favorite part of having had breast cancer!!!

what is the date?

I've been reading posts to catch up on everybody.

Ameron, sorry for the waiting game......it's the pits. Although once you get the good news the memory of waiting is completely erased from your mind!! Be sure to tell the scheduler that you're an artist, you need your hands to create custom pieces of jewelry!

GalSal, I hope you'll be able to get in soon! I'm not an LE sufferer (yet) but I've listened to the hardship it causes people.

SpecialK, I hope all of you had a great time at the game! Again, it's not about who wins or loses (terribly!) It's aboutthe camaraderie right?!!!

Galsal -- I too am having abdominal muscle issues after DIEP (stage 1: July 2012, stage 2: Dec 2012). Muscles contract when I get up from a chair or sometimes spontaneously (not painful, though), and my abdomen is bulging to the extent that my local PS ordered a CT scan to rule out a seroma, and found nothing wrong. I have put on a few pounds lately, but the bulging started much earlier. I don't understand what your rib issue would be. I think I am left to try to take off some weight and do abdominal exercises. It would be nice to feel more "normal" someday; dealing with adrenal fatigue too.

Oh -- we're talking Nov 2 for get-together. I have a potluck and costume thing that afternoon, so not sure I can manage running to Tampa too. Thinking about it...

Driving home today, lo and behold that guy is in the car next to me at the same light again. Him - hey are you following me, Me - no, you're following me. Said he'd been at the Race Track, asked if I worked around there. Said yes and he's like, oh are you a teacher you look like a teacher. LMAO No, I'm not a teacher I work with computers. A bit more conversation and the light changed. This was at Race Track Rd and Hillsborough. I drive home on Hillsborough to Memorial to get on a frontage road to access the brief bit to get by the Cypress exit. Until over by Independence, we were heading the same way and at the same stop lights. Go figure. LMAO

tell him to pull in the Cracker Barrel for coffee!

I just may have to come Sat to catch up on all of this.

Change of November Get-Together!

Lets get together on the Saturday, the 16th of November!

This way, more people will be able to make it. Please email me for my address and phone number.

Thanks All,

Firework
