In shock

I am 56 and the same thing has happened to me.  I had a lumpectomy, good margins, no nodes and it was 8 mm.  I am finishing up chem0 which has been the worst and not so worse thing ever.  I will be getting radiation next.   I will be glad to talk to you if you need me.  Leah

stilleto cake done 

Yet another amaaaaaazing cake Edi! 

Sorry to hear about ED's woes. It's horrible when they can't say what's wrong, but hopefully it will be something fairly innocuous in the end! xxx

Yes Websister, we're on the road now eh? I have a mammogram and ultrasound booked for June 23, so I'm not looking forward to that either!

Then another round of hospital follow up appointments (onc and hematologist). My GP wants me to have a full physical exam on June 20, with all the accompanying blood tests, pap test, colon cancer screening, you name it! ....... I'm not keen. I just feel I have had enough of doctors and being poked about. I just want to enjoy being healthy and well, and if I never had to see a doctor again I'd be a happy bunny!

........ BTW this evening while paddling on the Glenmore Reservoir, we saw a BEAVER!!!!!

edi....so sorry you're in a pothole again.....even if you don't feel like it...try to do a bit of walking/biking......something positive. You're going to do wonderfully at headstrong....sure wish I could toss a bucket of confidence over you...you're amazing, and have so many talents...caring for others being one of them.....you're going to be great. 

Hope your daughter gets sorted out...sounds like this has been going on for awhile???? I have no suggestions other than what have been already offered, other than to say she needs to tell her doc she wants this sorted out NOW.....Since it happened again fairly recently, perhaps she should sit down and journal what she ate, and what she did, and what "stress" she might have been feeling, for a day or two leading up to her latest attack. Might help speed up the dx???? Just a thought. It's obviously being caused by something.

mo....good luck with the checkups.....seems like they leave no stone unturned, doesn't it. But....you want to be healthy going into Flap recon, that's for sure. Sounds like you're thoroughly enjoying the boating!

Hi 😎

Liefie, definitely thinking something like gall bladder, she has Doc app tomorrow so hopefully it will go well.

Nihahi, headstrong was fantastic, much more relaxed than in training. Such a lovely feeling doing something positive and hopefully lifting someone's spirits. Lots of laughter too. Met some incredibly brave ladies who just want to look as normal as possible. Did good walk in hospital grounds, car park long way from onco centre.😞.

All your gorgeous girls keep well and hope all tests come back with excellent reports. 😀

Love the silly face, Edi a you look great, love your hair. So glad you enjoyed headstrong today, now the nerves can go away. I will be thinking of ED and her appointment - hope things get sorted out for her

Morwenna -  so glad you are enjoying the dragon boating, it must have been so exciting to see the beaver. Hope your appointments and testing go well for you, I know what you mean re: doctors, unfortunately in my line of work I see them on a regular basis professionally, and now see way to much of them as a patient. I have smiled a couple of times when Liefie has expressed the same sentiments about never seeing another Dr. , much harder for her when the doctor is your husband

Greetings to all, need to get on the treadmill - take care

HA.....I remember your translation edi.....sun cracking flags means hot weather.....right!!!!?????

You sound better again. Hope you hop back on that bike and start up again. Enjoy your garden.....it's fun, and I bet the grandkids get a kick out of watching stuff grow.

Thinking of you momof2 in Oregon.....sitting watching the Pacific.....hugs to all

I'm doing the "mindful connection" tomorrow morning at 8:00 MST.....hugs to all.

Have a hair appointment at 9.30 tomorrow morning, but will think of you all as I drive in to town. Going to chop it all off - a short pixie it will be. Sick of struggling with wayward hair that is so different from before - way more important things to do. Just came home from my first yoga class after the back episode. I could more or less do all the stretch poses, but could feel how stiff my back was. Will just keep at it as I should have - naughty Liefie.

Hi 😎

You all sound so happy 😀 I too had hair chopped nice and short Liefie, it was driving me mad trying to get it looking nice, now just gel and spike.

Joining with Nihahi at the coast now won't be possible but will sit in garden instead. Diabetic check at hospital today and all perfect, woop woop 🙌 lovely to have some good health news .Cholesterol level 3.9 and EDI adores butter ? Doctor was thrilled to have a good patient. Waiting room full of morbidly obese people. No wonder this condition on the increase. Only problem is water infection started when I got up so no loos on the coast 😞 too old to pee in the bushes 😟 so taking pills and staying near my loo.

Websister, jumping onto my exercise back and will imagine I am riding somewhere beautiful.🍃

Love Movie's link to the nipple tats on f/b they are amazing, what a transformation.

Out into the sun I go, laters xx

Edi, happy for good news re health - we need it! As for butter, I stopped using margarine years ago when I read that some margarines are just one chemical reaction away from plastic. Much better to use a natural product in moderation. And nothing beats real butter on a slice of warm freshly baked bread. Right, Nihahi?

Had the haircut, but boy, is it ever short! I look exactly like my brother, not what I was going for - LOL. Have only myself to blame because I did not express myself clearly. Her short is obviously way shorter than my short. Oh well, in a few weeks time it will look better once it has grown a little. No use crying over spilt milk.

Hi Ladies,

I was there with you this morning, but I had to sit in the living room, due to the RAIN. But that is okay, we needed the rain. 

Edi…you sound wonderful and look fabulous, too! Hope you are feeling better. I suppose I was a little "grandiose" to think this cottage would be finished for all to see. At least the roof is on! DH and I are going to attempt to paint one of the guest bedrooms this weekend. Then, depending on how that works out, we will move to the 3rd bedroom. At this point, perhaps we should save our extra $ and try for a get together next Spring. And there will be time for you to win the lotto!

Liefie…I tried to "spike" my little bit of hair this morning after my shower. Then after it dried, I looked even crazier than usual. Oregon is known to be "weird", so I am thinking about going to town and get some organic purple hair color…if that is even available. The "La De Da" parade is July 4th and the entire town participates. I need to come up with something unusual so that I do not stand out in the crowd. 

Nihahi…the shoulder has its good days and bad days. I have had a condition similar to frozen shoulder several years ago with my left shoulder. I went to a PT and she worked miracles. However, this problem is not the same, because I still have full ROM. It is just pain that goes into my neck and the back of my shoulder blade. The MRI showed a tear in the muscle, so I will go to the ortho doc when I get back to the South. As long as it is not CA… it can WAIT.

If I should ever win the lotto, I will hire a personal chef. I do not like to cook. But I like to eat. I need to drag my lazy bones into the kitchen and cook some salmon for dinner. Love the salmon, but hate the prep work.

That's about all from the chilly Oregon Coast. Hope everyone is doing well. All of you (Ya'll) are in my thoughts daily.

Love,

Jenifer

Hope all are well today.  For those who have been around since the start and know the story...  I have some great news...  Benny has a new giant plush toy!  She sounds so much happier now. Said it was ok to tell you all the news and said she misses you all.  Hope she comes back here soon.

Hi 😎

Fathers day here so mob descending 1 pm. I went to bed at 9 last night and slept until 7 to charge the batteries  😦

DH just opened his cards from DS and gd's in Manchester. He always sends money for Dad to buy himself something he wants and he really can't afford it, he is such a lovely boy we don't deserve him.He will be working today so can't visit but is coming to see us soon so we will treat him to a good day out.

Going to try and make brandy snaps later. Saw them on TV and they brought back memories of my childhood.

Jennie, Glad you asked Bennie about plush toy 😀 I have been following on f/b and so glad she is happy and busy again.Sure she will pop back here one day.

Momof, hope that roof kept rain out ? How is decorating going ?

Liefie, bet your hair is stunning, mine is a week later and swear it has grown about half an inch already.💇

Nihahi, really linked in with you and girls, very spiritual experience. Thank you 😃

Movie, hope you are reading if not posting, thinking of you everyday. 😘

Love to all. Porridge needs making 😭 xx

I want one !! If only we had enough decent weather to leave the top down. They have opened a drive in cinema in Liverpool, girls can't wait to try it.

Hi 😎

Momof, thank you 😀 it was such a lovely experience.Told DH to get a can opener and convert my car ☺ My DD hubby is a giant like yours and he wanted to borrow hercar , he got in and was jammed under steering wheel !! Couldn't lower seat as being a typical male pushed wrong lever. She said he was ranting and raving that her car wasa load of rubbish. She reached in and dropped him down ha ha. Apology ensued .

She is forty in February and this is her mid life present to herself.

Hope you are enjoying cottage ? How is married life for your DD ?

Sunny again here, have to get two new tyres for my little car, hope DH volunteers to get them for me ( fat chance )

Pop back later x
