    kira1234, miss seeing you too! Can you talk your DH into shopping at the Bose store? Maybe there's some new technology he'll want to check out. Winking I'm always game for going back to the Cheesecake Factory though it can't compete with the amazing cookin' around here. (I'm still sad I missed fireworks lunch last Saturday)

    I was up there just the week before for my 6 month visit with Dr. Wright, so didn't want to ask him to come again. Will say all looks great as far as the blood work which is what I worry about.

    Kira, maybe we can coordinate your schedule with our next gathering. We have really been missing you.

    I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

    I saw this on one of the other threads and it is just too funny!

    Did you let your bird chill in the sink a couple of hours before roasting?

    I am no cook. But I can follow the directions. Which said to let the bird chill in the sink for a few hours.

    Time for a chuckle. I'm sitting in MOs office waiting for port flush and blood draw. No stress there! The receptionist says "hello there Special K". My head whipped around so fast! It wasn't, then I started laughing at. And to myself.


    Happy Holidays everybody.

    What an interesting conversation I had last evening at a wine-tasting event. I met an OR RN who works for a PS. As the after-event dinner was mostly wound down, I asked if I might pick her brain. She'd already realized I'd had BC when the ladies were speaking of HRT and said i couldn't take that.


    Prior to the current PS she works for (doesn't do reconstruction) she'd worked mostly with BC patients and reconstruction. We did move away from the group to talk. When she heard I was ILC, she kept saying you did bilateral right. Told her yes. She was was obviously relieved to hear that. We talked about the various surgeries I've already done. She did suggest Fat Grafting and I'd told her I'd already consulted with Dr Gayoso in St Pete along with Dr Khouri in Miami, that I just couldn't bring myself to commit to wearing those domes for a good year or more to achieve completion. She couldn't say enough about Dr Gayoso's results.


    It was quite interesting that because of the ILC she was most adamant a PET scan should be done at least annually if not every six months. Additionally, again she was adamant that a Filter should have been or should be installed because of throwing clots.


    All in all, a most interesting conversation.

    Did she mean a vena cava filter? I had one put in about 4 years ago, I had multiple DVTs and PEs. I was told I was damn lucky. They just shot the area with lidocaine didn't hurt a bit. I talked to the surgeon the whole procedure.

    I believe that's what she meant. Naturally it's a concern of mine any time I have surgery since throwing clots during the micro-vascular surgery. Thanks for the input!
