Here's what cheezed me off today

thanks sas...I have my union steward on it.  you get some rest!!! hope you feel better.

I always heard if in a crowded store to yell MOUSE

Sorry that you work for such a sucky company with no compassion.  I hope it works out for you.

Here's what cheezed me off this week.  My son and his girlfriend have been living off me in my house for three years and they now have a 2 year old son.  Last week I was stepping off the bottom stair into the living room when the little guy ran out in front of me and I lost my footing trying to avoid him.  I hurt both feet and was in awful pain and figured at least one was broken.  I had promised to take care of my grandson so his parents could celebrate her birthday so I didn't go to the ER until the following morn.  Broke 3 bones in 1 foot and badly sprained the other ankle.  Got  an air cast on one and a splint on the other and was on crutches.  The girlfriend was coming in from smoking outside the next morning and I asked her if she could please start my car for me but she walked on by me and went to their room.  My car should have been in the garage but it is full of their junk.  I would have kicked them out last winter but her mom was dx with stage 4 BC and she never had a dad.

I put a rant on here a couple weeks back, and thank everyone for their replies and support. I just wanted to share something funny, and I am sure a lot of you might be able to relate. I found a pillow-like breast form in my stuff from the hospital, so decided to wear it one day to work. (I'm only 2 fills in, 60cc, and normally just go without) In the morning I showed off my new 2 breasted form to my friend at work, and by 2pm, that thing was out and in a bag to go back home. What I learned, is while the fake one looked much nicer then mine did (it should, the other one is 35 years old), it would not stay in place! I keep ending up with a boob at my throat. I'd push it down, and shorty, it would return to it's place at my collar bone. How perky that one was. lol It was so funny, and now I know why women use the special bras.

Hi ladies hope this finds you well and happy. Popping in with a bit of research on drugs and hypertension(high blood pressure). Hope you find it useful   Have a blissful Christmas L&H&P's Sheila, sassy

EXCELLENT NEWS, WILL MAKE US ALL HAPPY------------YOO_HOOOOOEVERYONE

I was looking for the journal article on google re: Tylenol, NSAIDS, an Hypertension.. This is a different article. It was a synopsis of the original article Written for the lay public. It's written very well. It states what I stated about NSAIDS and tylenol.  EXCEPT that aspirin was found to NOT be a problem in older ladies, but can be a problem in younger ladies. Please, save this article for future reference. You may be able to help someone else.

Another article written so lay people can read it. Information taken from the original journal article.

Original abstract that above articles were taken from. An abstract just hits the highlights of a research paper. The full article is the source for the above articles.

I like to read the original articles only to see if they are done according to good science. BUT they can be difficult to read b/c they get real crazy with techno speak. After reading the techno speck original article then I look for the best "human" translation. The above two sited articles are the best translations from the original journal article YAY>

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU CHEESERS L&H&P's sassy

A Blessed and Peaceful Christmas to all! May your Holidays be Happy.

I used to put up decorations for Hanukkah, but I only put up some lights around the bushes in 2011.  I skipped 2012 and did the same for 2013.  It's hard work and none of my family seems to care that much anymore.  I was feeling guilty this year and screwed some blue blubs into our front lights.  I had them in there for a couple of weeks and hated how dark the house looked.  The day after Christmas, out they came :-).  My holiday spirit is lacking.  To me this is a very lonely time of year.

Hey Rohanna, pass the desserts.  I could use some sweets :-)

Rock. I sure understand the "I don't give a f#%k spirit thing. We only did the tree for the grands, and they haven't been here. Is this something else bc steals from us?

Yep, I am definitely dragging.  I almost wish I would be cheezed because then it would mean I have some spark in me :-).  Before cancer I was very physically fit.  I used to have a lot of stamina.  Now I am struggling.  I walked for about an hour around the neighborhood today and felt wiped out afterwords.  I've gained 10+ pounds since treatment ended in 2/2012 and I can't seem to do anything about it.  I'm only 5' 2" on a good day and this weight is dragging me down.

I never thought menopause was going to be like this.  I remember thinking it was going to be this slow process and that I would stay fit and sharp for years.  Some say these changes are linked to being 49, but I think that's bullshit.  Before cancer I was only 46 and I do not believe that people age this fast.  Okay, off my pity party rant.

Here's to 2014 being a better year with a stronger mind and body.  I'm not giving up!

oh that's funny! Is everybody ok now?

thats so funny rohanna. and i see that rockym has been to utah! i just went there in november. beautiful! and, Rockym, also, i am 54. i was 52 when diagnosed, and very fit, and 8 years into menopause. treatment kicked my A&&! and i feel much older, but my docs try to tell me, oh, youre just getting older!!!!! WTF.?!? no. chemo etc is the accelerated program. its what we get for being so unlucky as to get the dreaded bc beastie.
