INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Rose, how did you sneak above me...back door just like HI1?? Man, I need to learn how to type faster. It is like texting. If you don't get your message in fast enough, you have to re-do everything. Sometimes I have to go back to my post and edit because of that. Boy, what do you do with your situation? Choose quality of life or weather the terrible side effects of drugs with no guarantee. SIGH. With my first pathology report it came back as DCIS. Upon the request of another oncologist( we know him personally) to exam different area of the tissue sample, they found microinvasion; but, because it is in a small area no chemo or radiation is warranted. I am ER/PR- so can't take SERMs like Tamoxifen. Herceptin only gives you one year of protection( while you are on it) per another oncologist. That leaves me no insurance for recurrence. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful I don't have to do chemo or take any meds, but just the thought of not being protected from possible rogue cells that wasmissed. I have been having bone pain on and off the last few weeks possibly due to changes in the weather, but boy you know that thought in the back of your head sometimes doesn't give you peace. Yes, that is another thing that cancer robs you of....peace.

No nice garden near Sacramento that I know of. I heard about the one in San Francisco and I have been to the one near San Jose.

My girls are 16 and 12...teenagers already!!!!!

Morning girls! So now SEE? Spookie is going to wake up any day now, and comment on me just posting a link! She will infer that I am sluffing off, and ridiculousness stuff like THAT!

But you must note, that SHE doesn't even stop by when she CAN! If I had a glass of water, I could go over there and pour it on her head and get that lazy bones OUT of bed! At least I'm HERE!

uh, mumble, stumble. Water? Huh? Chevy has snow brain.

Hi gals.... Morning Spookie.... I mean good-afternoon almost...Ha!

Yes, Cammi posts on the drinking thread... appropriately enough, and she sounds okay! Sometimes I see her on FB, or when I email her and raise 3 kinds of hedoubleL, and then she sends a link or something back.... She has a lot on her plate.... er, phone, and I think she is still fighting with that....

I'll track her down pretty soon!

chirp chirp

You want bright eyes and bushy tail, get a squirrel.

Oh wait. That's Chevy!!

Loveroflife- that reminds me of shopping at Walmart! Where it all hangs out!

Good luck tomorrow, hoping things go smoothly for you.

Hi Jazzy, thank you!

Love- here is hoping you end up with a McDreamy or McSteamy during your procedure. I care most about competent surgeons, but if they are cute, that is fine too.

Rose- well, those experts don't stop coming, do they? There is a thread here about Stupid things People Say. I have a list a mile long and still hear some doozies.

I may have shared this story before, so forgive me if I have in advance of sharing it again. When my mother had her stroke, her neurologist came in to talk to us the next day and he looked like a movie star. Both my sister and I just dropped our jaws when he came in the room and talked about him later too. My mother, who was particular to handsome men, was a bit agitated and more focused on us than him. So she missed the whole thing. We told her later she had a handsome doctor, because well, that was just really important to her.

I work a lot in hospitals a lot with my consulting work. Most doctors are not good looking, but I am not hiring them to be a model, but to fix me.

Kinda like this?

And wasn't George Clooney some sort of Doctor on TV once?

just checking in having a hard time reading still hope everybody had a wonderful Mother's Day I did the Race for the Cure Susan G Komen I went my kids went all but one.

Blondie, good to see you ! Hope you are eating well, and are comfortable. Sorry the vision is being wacky.

Loveroflife, I will keep CHEVY under my big feet, in your pocket. That way I can peek around, keep a eye on the whole process. Those expanders sound uncomfortable. I had a power port, was very happy to get it removed, almost a year ago.

Rose, I do love asparagus. If it could cure us, lol, it should of prevented those of us that eat it regularly to be Cancer free..... Crazy ideas.... Wish it was that easy....

HOOTIE Patty P, thought of you today. Wish you were still feeling on top on the world, sorry to hear about your headaches. I get a kick out of you telling us you live vicariously through us. Not today.... I was a total klux....I put ear wax removal in my eye...OUCH...stupid, grabbed the little bottle, did not look. Then a few hours later, I bit my lip.

Hello to all you fine ladies, I am BUSY.....house is torn apart. Storage is filling up. Next few weeks will be a whirlwind....

Has MammaRay checked in lately?

HiHo! You were the only one UP! It's like you were talking to yourself.... Like I am NOW... Ha!

So you used ear drops in your EYES? Do you know some of that stuff has peroxide in it? Well you probably do NOW, right? So see, this is what you do.... Like I just did for my poor little Husband, who cannot see much without his reading glasses on, much LESS at night...

You get those labels... That stick on envelopes... And with a black magic marker, you write on there WHAT it really is, stick it on the bottle, and then tape it on, for good measure... In YOUR case, write EYES.... or EARS.....!!! How can I stress this enough? Get your glasses on girl!

You two, need to turn a light on when you throw those pills down the hatch.... In OUR case, I wrote STOMACH on one... for Ranitidine... Then ALLERGY for Claritin.... DIAHRRHEA for Immodium AD.... And I left the ALEVE alone, because he KNOWS that one.

We HAVE night-lights on all over the house.... Like we are going to get up and fix a complete meal or something.... But older people, case in point, NEED little "helpers" along the way....

So good morning to Smarty, and Blondie! All the others are still sleeping, it looks like... Doesn't anybody get up early around here?

Man, it's so terrible about that Amtrak train wreck last night!!!!!!!!! Just makes you sick....
