    Back in action. Still down with the cold that won't die but doing okay. Furbabies are being good and napping, they had a blast with their Christmas gifts, especially Princess.

    Teka what a great photo! I love pine trees! I am so happy this morning. My middle daughter got her grades and they are all A's and one B for her first semester at college - WHOOO HOOO!!! Happy dance... and she's excited about the new semester and her part time job. Sigh... maybe all this sacrifice is worth it! EH??? To all of you have a great day!

    Dunessleeper- enjoy! Staying at a B&B beats a hotel any day. You will love it. Be pampered it's fun. I have never done the spa thing, but a massage is great.

    Kjones- yep my kids won't know things like that either.

    So... just checking in. Lurking but not posting.... tough couple of weeks.

    The bad news:

    ~ On Christmas day, my 77 year old sister fell and broke her hip. After a trip to Kaiser ER, a hip replacement, four days in the CCU, she is now in a Rehab facility. I do all her medical management.

    ~ On New Year's Day, my 93 year old FIL fell and broke his hip. After a trip to Kaiser ER, a hip replacement, four days in the hospital, he is now in a Rehab facility (on the opposite side of town from Sis). I do all his medical management.

    ~ DH and I are wiped out, and our house looks like the Christmas hurricane hit it. We were in the middle of taking down decorations when we got the call about Dad. Every day since then has been spent in the hospital or nursing home.

    The good news:

    ~ I got my oxygen machine, and am on O2 all night long, with a nasal cannula. It helps me wake up in the morning, and every day I have used it I've gotten dressed, stayed awake, and gotten chores done. I haven't had this much energy since my head injury in June. I never could have done as much as I did during these family crises had I not been using it. DH says I am even moving faster when I walk and do things, as well as talking more normally.

    ~ My medical knowledge seems to be intact (long term memory). I found some discrepancies in my sister's hospital information, pulled her surgical report, and she did in fact have some major heart issues requiring a cardio consult and a full workup. But the doctor never reported any of this to the family. Guess they didn't figure on having Dick Tracy as a family member. The good news... it was from the surgery, and all is resolved.

    ~ I drove on the freeway for the first time since my fall! We had a family conference at the Rehab facility for Sis on New Year's Day and DH stayed home. Thank goodness everyone was home nursing a hangover and not driving the roads. I was proud of myself!

    ~ Both Dad and Sis are recuperating well.... Dad looks at Physical Therapy as his ticket back to Independence. (He lives alone since Mom passed.) My sister, well, that's another story. She's post-stroke from several years ago, has major deficits, and prefers to be waited on hand and foot. Nothing will change, but at least I got her some Rehab after her surgery. So I think DH and I can relax for a while, and not spend every single dang day at either the hospital or the nursing home. Woot!

    ~ Despite being in the germiest places on earth (hospital, nursing home, and Walmart) neither DH or I have gotten sick this season! Must be the surgical masks, Lysol spray, and Clorox wipes that we use almost 24/7. Big change from years past!

    All for now, hope to be able to catch up more as things improve around here! I do read every post and think of you all!!!

    Welcome shyshygreta, what chemo are you going to starting and when? I just finished that so I may be able to answer some questions for you. There is a lot of great info here, so that may help you as well.

    Have a great evening!

    Oh yikes SHYshy! Don't be afraid.... I think you have the same diagnosis I did but I'm over 5 years out! So it doesn't matter about your Mom.... My Mom had BC also, but like they say now, sometimes it isn't hereditary.... it's just our cells that go nuts!

    So just don't worry! Wait until you meet with your team.... It all matters on what your final Path report it.... you might not even have to have chemo.... I didn't.... I had radiation, with the MammoSite device, so the treatments were not long at all....

    You might be different than anyone else on here.... It all depends on the stage, the grade, the size, etc..... and if any nodes are involved...... so don't worry about anything.... there is always time to worry.... and it probably wouldn't do you any good anyway.

    The medical world has come up with so many different treatments now.... so I like to think we are in good hands.

    Write down all your questions, and answers! Get copies of all your tests, and reports, because your mind will be all frazzled and you won't remember a THING. Just keep all this information together!

    Your breathing treatment? Do you mean with a Nebulizer, or you mean an oxygen machine? You have to talk to your team..... I wish I could fix you, but my expertise is limited.... Ha!

    It's your BIRTHDAY 22222222222? HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE KIDDLE! XOXOXOXO

    How YOU doing Blessings? Everybody breaking their bones all OVER the place? WTH???? No, we don't deal with broken bones very well..... Hope you get your Christmass all put back up.....Take good care!

    2nd - happy belated bday !!! What did you do ?

    Kjones - hey. Glad to see you over here. You will love these ladies. I so hear ya. My fear is not if death but not being able to control what happens with dh and ds's. Dh is wonderfully and I know he'll be there for ds's. I guess the world really doesn't revolve around me. That sucks. Just wanna stay alive and mobile Til t least they graduate - 8 more years. Been in a crying funk last few days. Damn cancer. But today is a new day and ism still alive. Gotta remind myself to be thankful for each day and quit losing days crying.

    Dune. / hope the spa was wonderful.

    Hootie hoo to all.

    hi enerva, the new girls are doing good. I'm bra hunting. Since I need to wear one for at least 2 more months I'm trying to find what fits me. So been online last 2 days and today I'm going shopping. The bras I got over the summer makes them hurt so I'm a different shape than before. Still wearing the surgical bras.

    Everybody stay warm! (Except those in FL
