Hi hermits- whew, long day tonight but went to a fab concert tonight with brazilian singer Eliane Elias who I love, love, love. Really happy, joyful performer and came away filled up!
Here is a link to a concert she did in Vienna earlier this year. Blondie, you will like this, Cami too I think!
One more day in assessment-ville.

Don't know if anyone can answer my question but yesterday afternoon I got a call from my plastic surgeon's office about my surgery. The expander surgery was moved from the hospital to a surgical center which is part of the hospital. Does this mean that its now being done on an outpatient basis? Was originally told that I'd be in the hospital for at least two days. This has got me worried.
-
My BMX and TE placement surgery was at a hospital (I spent 2 nights), but my exchange surgery (TEs to implants) was at a surgical center. It went really well. The surgery was in the morning, and I was home by late afternoon.

So quiet in the house right now, furbabies are napping. The kitten is doing well and has the run of the house and she has really suprised us at how good she has been. She spends most of the night in her kitty bed and then when its just about time for the alarm clock to go off, she gets up on her daddy's side of the bed and gives him kisses before she comes over and wakes me up by purring and laying down on my chest til I get up.
-
Sounds like the perfect kitten. What a great way to start the day!

*Good Morning Hermits*
Daisylover, welcome to a kind and fun thread.
So far 20 inches of heavy snow with no electricity since last evening, but lucky to have a generator!
Our backyard.Generator is red in 1st photo!
-
Teka, Thanks for the welcome - I love this thread - very comforting! Yikes, that snow is way too deep. Glad it's rain here... hope you get to stay in and enjoy the beauty.
-
Holy Cow Teka!Snow finally stopped here! Looks like is starting to melt though
-
Power just came back on!
-
Yay to power. I would still cocoon.
-
Heading for my recliner to watch soap operas!
-
Hi hermits- I am hanging out in the hospital lobby right now, and if you ever want to see what human nature is about, hospital waiting areas are where it all goes down. Especially if you sit in them for hours......
We are on a break between meetings on the assessment and the vendor went off site to lunch, but I am trying to get caught up on a few calls and e-mails and just enjoying all the weird stuff here. I usually work in the admin building, I have not worked down here in a few years on my projects.
Teka- do you watch Days of our Lives? I seem to think most others are gone now? I used to watch soaps a lot when I was a teen. Another World was my favorite.
And yeesh, all that snow. I know if I were there, I would break out the snow shoes, but bet it is even too deep for that!
Welcome to our thread Daisy! Nice ladies here, comforting is a good way to describe this place too.
-
I used to watch the soaps on CBS but I got tired of the ridiculous changes to the story lines. -
Jazzy, thank you for the welcome. Is there snow shoeing in New Mexico? Or, are you a transplant from a colder climate?
Snow is finally sticking to the ground here... not much, though. I would like just a few inches... Not too much snow, since I am headed out to volunteer at a food pantry this evening.
It's a little ironic for me - I watch General Hospital when at home now. In college, my friends all watched, planned their schedules around it. I just laughed at them... Nowadays, my life feels a little like a soap opera sometimes... OK, minus all the romantic intrigue, drug abuse, and crime... And you ask, what else is there?
I find hospital elevators revealing of human nature as well...
-
Hi hermits! Been lurking. I hope everyone is hanging in there. The holidays can be hard. I've been missing loved ones lost but still find myself singing Christmas carols while doing chores. It's easier to get in the spirit when you have little kids who are excited.
I have one more taxol next wed and I will be done with chemo! Then on to the herceptin every 3 weeks and exchange surgery end of January or beginning of February. Sure hoping 2015 brings better times for all of us.
I wish we could have a kitten too but my older son is allergic to cats.
Plus my Boston terrier would be terribly jealous as he is like a baby and very spoiled.
Shopped for baking supplies today...yikes it's a small fortune. But I love to bake and am planning on giving away some trays as gifts too. Hugs to you ladies, your a great support.
-
I am trying to post again. Posts not going through.
-
Welcome daisy lover. Janett, I don't think I welcomed you ... So welcome.
Teka, yikes ... Snow beautiful but I wouldn't want to have to drive in it.
Jazzy, I thought something was wrong when you said you were in hospital waiting room. Thanks for explaining. Awhile back you asked if I enjoyed last Saturday's DGD's gymnastic meet. Yes I did. had a good visit with her dad and his girlfriend too.
Thinking of you all and wishing my iPad was not acting quirky so that I can't always post when I want to
-
Sally- oh, if I were in the waiting room for anything I had to do for my body, trust me, I would not be posting anywhere. I am usually too pre-occupied with my own thoughts about the doctors visit, procedure, etc. to make conversation. And I agree with Maiden too, hospital elevators have their own unique character too.
Maiden- I am sorry you are feeling a bit down for the holidays. I am very thankful they will be over in a few short weeks. I was in the middle of treatment 2 years ago during the holidays and there is no way you can really feel up about anything. You are trying to get through. And holidays make us miss people. I do too. Hugs sister and praying your last chemo treatment goes well.
Daisy- I am originally from CT, lived out here 18 years now. But yes, there is snowshoeing here. We are in the high desert and get 4 seasons including winter. I have skied and snowshoed here, but we have not had much snow yet this season.
Done with the assessment and going to veg for awhile but hit the gym later......

Well, I got my 6th month doctor apt and associated mammo set up for the next follow up at the end of January scheduled today. So I will have the visit to the MO first (but will be seeing the CNP this visit) early in the month, and then see the BS and do the rest end of the month.
Also got my bone density test today. Increasing osteopenia since going on the AIs. I talked to my doctor sister about it. Not bad at this point, but worried what the devil pill will do another three years on this. Lots of doc apts and conversations to have in January.

*Good Morning Hermits*
Cold but sunny in the North Country!
-
Morning Teka- hope you are enjoying the holiday season! It is mild and sunny in the southwest this morning. We are supposed to get a bit of the "pineapple express" that is heading this way from the west coast. We will take the moisture minus the flooding, mudslides and all the rest CA got hit with.
-
Good morning, Love juxtaposition of North Country and New Mexico in this thread. In the warmth, in the cold, hermits linked by the internet... I have to venture out today - at least it's dry here. Jazzy, stay in - that's one powerful storm.
Teka and Jazzy, love the photos that you post... I was going to ask how you do it... then I opened my eyes and saw the tool bar above... (Can I claim "targeted-therapy-brain"?) Thanks for keeping me smiling.
-
Jazzy,
We'll take the cold and snow with a warm home!
Daisylover,
Many thread members have a problem posting photos!
-
Teka, once again chuckling... is that what happened - my son got boxers every year, a little family joke ? Off to acquire some germs out there...
