INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Sas- oh crap. I am so sorry to hear this news. Just so unfair. Let us know more as you figure out your plan.
Patty- I hope you are doing better. It is good to know you are here with us.
Spookie- we have so many bridges in this country that need work. How awful that bridge collapsed and killed people.
I am going in tomorrow for my 6 month mammo and ultrasound. Then next Friday to see the BS. Will keep you posted on anything that comes up. This is my fourth follow up and I hold my breathe every time......
-
Sassy, so sorry to hear that and we will keep our fingers crossed for a false finding. It happens. Big big hugs.
-
Mags I wish I could be a graphic artist. I do enjoy my amateur though. I liked that first piece you showed.
Chevy, my dear, the heated seats were for the fancy shmancy walk in tub. You can get a heated seat so you don't sit on a cold seat waiting for the tub to fill. I have concerns about electricity mixing with water. It's got quite a kick.
-
Dunes, the story behind the first one is that we had had a huge snowstorm (unusual for us) and it stayed and stayed. There was actually a crust of ice on top of it. So I made the bag and slingshot (from a Bible encyclopedia illustration) and grabbed some decorative stones, and shot it one the snow outside my front door. I use Photoshop to give a certain feel to it, and all kinds of stuff you can do to type there do. I have a whole bunch of them on my Facebook page, I'll give you a link if you like.
-
sas...sorry to hear....we are her for you.....maybe not with all the info, we aren't as good at that as you are, but us sisters we will hold your hand anytime...prayers to you..I will put you up in the top 5 so I don't fall asleep before I get to you

-
well sass, what does one say? I hope if it turns out to be positive that it has been caught at an early stage. Boy girl, you can't seem to get a fair shake. We will be in your pocket as needed. Keep sane
-
Well, crapola, another issue....Sas, I certainly am planning on this being a scare, not a reality. MY shoulder surgery is 2 weeks from today, and let's face it....Its all about ME ! ....lol.....he....ha...just kidding to lighten this mood, WTF is going on with you ? We are going to need to send CHEVY & Cami ( YES CAMI ) to work this out with your team.
I had bladder spasms, after my colon resection ( embarrassing problem )... I ranked bladder spasms up there with natural child birth of a 10 lb bundle of joy. Shit, why is life so tough for some & so easy for others. My SIL, has never had one thing wrong. Not anything. She will be 63 soon. Not one medical issue, ever.
Thanks to all for the Anniversary wishes... Time flies....
-
Lovelies, thank you all, Susan the first words out of my mouth when I hung up the phone was a Hail Mary. It feels good to be able to come here. HUGS
-
I love you guys

And puns and jokes and sarcasm ......all forms of humor are appreciated.
Bedtime sweeties. There's a new Coffee----Count Your Sheep Coffee. Decaf with Valerian.
-
night sass, for you

-
sassy, so sorry for this latest news. Hoping it's a false positive. You already have enough you're dealing with. Hoping you find support from all of us proud to call you our friend! Prayers for you as well as hugs and love.
-
Mags, yes please send me a link to your page. I'd like to see more. Now I have to go back to find out what I missed. Obviously I missed an important update on Sas.
OK caught up. Sas, damn! I'm hoping and praying for a false positive but in the event it is not, I'm pulling for you to kick its butt.
-
Oh no Sas! Will pray for you.
-
Okay, I ain't even gonna TALK about it... There is just too much going on with you gals, and I ain't listenin' to no more. It will just be the Elephant in the room, and I know it's there, but I don't want to know, until we know. If it's right now a "could be" then I will wait until it either is or isn't.... which it is right now, only I only want to know it's an "isn't."
Cammi, did you see THAT? It's like we just go puttin' around, and all of a sudden someone gets an "issue"....!! DAMN! I'm going back to bed.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Okay I didn't... Wait! Sass, you drank a BOTTLE of wine? You can't drink any more if it IS bladder cancer! That is BAD for you, if you have an "issue."
I'll get you fixed up yet. Put down that wine, drink only water, and tea with Aloe Vera, and no coffee, You better ask your DOC about that! Don't go treating yourself!!! That's what you would tell us! Is what'shisname there to help get you through this? You need help!
Spookie.... YOU call her, and then come here and give us the scoop. She will gloss things over. When do you find out Sass?
Here I was already to talk about that bridge Rosie, and then I read what SHE posted! I need to go get my coffee... Now I'm concerned.
-
Chevy--------quit talking about it. Geesh! Where do you get tea with aloe vera? Inquiring minds want to know. Sounds healthy.
-
Chevy don't talk about coffee I can't have any til 4... I shall have a headache by then. ugh.
Sassy - that so sucks. I hope it's a false positive and they are wrong.
-
You guys, go to Walmart, and get their gallon jug of Aloe Vera... And put about 1/4 C in any juice, smoothie, tea, etc~! It is sooooooooo good for your digestion! I had a bleeding ulcer one time, and it went away!!!!
Honest! And my BIL tried it, and it just plain works... It is a natural anti-biotic...
Okay, I won't talk about "it"... It really isn't happening... unless it happens.... and it won't.
-
Sass!! ((hugs)) I hate bad news like this....when I heard something bad happened to Blondie I had a mini panic attack. Please let us know what we can do for you.
When will we know "for sure"?
Spookie those bridge pics are terrifying, I don't know how I'd get across that damn thing.
I turned 41 last Saturday
Better birthday than last year for sure. love ya'll!
-
OMD, I can't believe I was so focused on my pain this week that I forgot this sweet baby's 8th birthday!

She doesn't look a day over 6, does she? My sweet Rose.
Dunes, here's the link to my Facebook album of artwork.

awwww happy birthday little one! Did mom get you a special cookie?
Aloe will also take care of any constipation problem you may have. Promise!!!!!!
-
SAS - praying for a false positive for you. We are here for you. You have encouraged me and everybody so very much so I Hope you feel the love and hugs. I say have some wine. Right now it's not positive; sip some wine , have crazy sex Til you are exhausted , whatever occupies your brain.
-
crazy pain mgnt office finally calls late yesterday afternoon only to say dr wanted to se me mon at 10. I tried to tell them on 2 different calls that the dr agreed that since I was an established patient and the ride is so painful for me , that we would discuss it over the phone. But nope he wants to see me in the office. So I wait wondering just what the MRI said. Ugh. Good news is my tumour markers are down slightly. Praying for a fix for the dang pain.
I've read what everyone is up to and always love to. Too lazy to take notes for each but love snd hugs to all.
Has Blondie posted lately ?
Hootie hoo
-
Mammo and ultrasound okay today.😁
-
WooooHoooo Jazzy!!!!!
-

For Tang, (be sure to save a little piece for Rose). Happy birthday. Glad it was better than last year. Just imagine a 4 next to that one. (Either side is fine. ;
Congrats jazzy
-

Durn it Sassy. Some bad juju going on there. Hoping like Chevy that it will be the elephant in the room and dad/son combo will find nada to worry about.
Tang Happy Belated Birthday. How things going over there? Nice warmup coming this next week. Yipee.
Patty - what the heck is you doc thinking? Hoping MRI is great and very good that markers are down. Take lots of drugs for travel and then pop up wide awake for appointment.
Mags Rose is lovely. Looks like a great lap warmer. She's the same age as my rat terrier Terra. Hard to believe she's 8 already. How are rads going? Did you get much snow with this storm. We got 1.76" of rain very beneficial. Were about to start stage II water rationing but this will prob. help that.
Yay Jazzy. I've got mammo next month also.
2nd eye laser went better than 1st. Only took 3 zaps and he was much better on time. Down to last 2 days of drops. May take myself shopping next week on DH's day off. I think Tuesday is supposed to be near 70 degrees.
-
SAS, Hoping for a false positive. You don't need more shit, just saying. Sending positive and healing vibes.
-
I keep forgetting to post this for LMG (or maybe I did already?):

Trying to put a smile on everyone's faces
-
2TA - that goat must be on some good drugs to get it to do that. LOL
-
Mags, your pictures are much more positive, much more upbeat than mine. I was thinking of sharing them but I don't think anyone would really like it. I will look more at your work. Right now I must wee wee and climb under the covrs.
