Western New York Area

Hi ladies,

It sounds like you had a nice luncheon; wished I could've been there.  Maureen, I use Avon Moisture Cream on my face; I have allergies & it works fine.

I agree w/ you about being tired of winter.  I am getting too old for this weather.  We are facing another polar vortex this week.  WHERE IS SPRING?

Tomorrow, after work, I have my 1st mammogram & ultrasound since my surgery & radiation treatments.  Before I had BC, it didn't bother me to go; get squished & be done.  Now I'm feeling very anxious.  Guess I'll just have to suck it up, like everything else!

Last week, I was sick w/ a virus but still managed to go to work & take care of my Mother.  She is testing my patience; refuses to put her boots on or use her walker when I have to take her places!  

Next week, I have an eye exam; it's been almost 3 years & I really need new glasses.  Then in February, I have 5 Dr appts.  Since being diagnosed w/ BC last year, I had to put all of my other medical issues on hold, but now I have to deal w/ them.  I can feel reality slapping me right in the face!  

Hope you are all doing okay & stay warm this week!  

Love,

Linda

Just jumped in Linda  hugs, Karen

Linda, how did the mamo go?

Hate the cold weather we are having. It really sucks.  I'm with you Jan, wake me when it is spring.

Hugs and prayres to all.

Me too Jan, it just seems to go on and on with no let up in sight.  And to think we have not even gotten to February yet.

Colleen, LOL!  I wish I could go away; somewhere very WARM!

Thanks everyone for all the well wishes!    I had the mammo & ultrasound on Tuesday; I was very anxious but the woman doing the mammo was so nice & compassionate.  She apologized to me ahead of time about having to hurt me!  I didn't mind having the ultrasound; she even warmed the gel!  

On a different note, yesterday after work, I had to have a biopsy done.  This past week I was having some back pain & then a few nights ago, I woke up in severe abdominal pain & was bleeding.  I thought to myself, WTF now?   My Dr said it could take up to a week for the results.  I went to work today even though I was very uncomfortable, to say the least.  I'm trying not to get too stressed out about this until I know what the problem is.  

So feel free to jump in @ anytime!  

Hope everyone is doing well & staying warm.

Hugs,  Linda

Hi all, just trying to stay warm in this hideous weather, it is snowing sideways right now and the wind is blowing.  i am afraid i am getting cabin fever, went out yesterday with my grandson to get "provisions", could not believe how cold it was, and it was in the teens.  Betty, Debbie when are your next Saturdays off in February and we will plan around that.  I am so tired of looking at snow!!   hugs, Karen 

OK  Maureen, it is so cold in WNY, that we all must have frostbite. I haven't seen anyone around here in days. Hope you are all trying to keep warm!

Maureen,

A couple good ones I've seen lately..

It's so cold in wny (and central ny) that you eat ice cream just to warm up!  and It's so cold out that teenagers have pulled their pants up...lol!

We broke a record here for number of days where the temperature fell below zero in January.  Mid-twenties today!  Going to feel like a heat wave....

A couple more...

It's so cold out that instead of the finger, New Yorkers are giving each other the mitten!

or

It's so cold out that when I went to Subway and bought one of their $5.00 foot-longs by the time I got to my car it was only 6- inches!  

Edited to add: Good one on the Bills and hell freezing over.  Sad but, recently, all too true!
