Bonfire of the Goddesses

Lucy, you aren't imaging it, there are some conspicuously absent, including me. For me, I just kept putting reading here off till bedtime, then I would barely start reading, and zonk out... But it is good to be here today.

Ducky, I hope sincerely that this go round with rehab is the one that clicks for him, and he can stay clean. It IS possible, I have intimate knowledge of addiction. It is very fine that he has a deeply loving family, who does not ditch him for this. There are street boys who never make it back, and I hope for you that he is one who does.

Also you can pm me a photo of the wound left after the melanoma was removed. Nothing I like better than having a nice squeamish moment, I am so medically curious, but still shudder!

Blondie, wow! That was a nice long post from you! I am glad you are still visiting the bonfire.

Poppy, grumpiness is underated. I think it is a highly appropriate state of mind sometimes, but luckily not permanent. You will know when the grumpiness has left, it does often enough to know that you are still you.

Love to my wild warm women, dancing in the ashes.

I am somewhat new, but seems like less posts lately.

I work, so I cannot talk often, but like the distraction and support here.

Kathy.......we meet one every so often............good for you Poppy...........what is the first thing you think when you see a woman with a bald head.

She's trying to make a fashion statement.......REALLY............I don't think so...........Phew.

By the way nothing from my son yet about his Pathology...............he isn't like his Mother.....I would have been on the phone when the offices opened.........

Blondie.. Sorry about the eyes.. Is there anything they can do to help..

Poppy... I'm sure Kelly appreciated the fact you introduced yourself.. and she could see that life continues after cancer treatment, and yes., the hair does grow back.!

Ducky.. I always want my results pronto too.. I go back to the doctors and make them ring through to pathology to see what's going on.

Kathy.. Lots of help and distraction here.. I love the bonfire.!

Tomboy,

you are so funny - you want to see the nitty, gritty!  You remind me of neice who just graduated from nursing school.  She likes treating wounds!  I am guessing she likes to see the progress, but boy am I glad someone else looks.  I generally pour large quantities of antiseptic while looking away and hope it its near or around injury.  No one has actually died under my care............that I know of.

Ducky.. Double ugh.. Waiting is the pits.!

Poppy.. Yep.. I like your description of how cancer let's us strip through all the baloney.. and I guess that's exactly why BCO is so good.. We can come here.. and know that everyone else here knows and understands..

thank you for caring I'm going to the doctor on Friday I can get some I think it is the morphine

Tom that probably is true but I've chosen to go to still go to my doctor my oncologist is my primary also and I have chosen to continue going and having an office visit with him monthly and that's why I have to go to you on Friday hospice I am on the hospice and hospice is doing my meds they ordered them but they go by what he says and I want to go talk to him about it he's the one that makes the situation what medication I'm on not them and I wouldn't talk to him about the morphine and I really want to go to Florida so I want to talk to me about that and there's some other things I want to talk to him, plus it gets me out of the house cuz I don't have a vehicle.

Sandy

Blondie.. Sending love and hugs... It sounds like your oncologist is best one to organize your medication for you., and it is nice to get out of the house.

Daisylover was here in philly today n took me food shopping n 2 the dq...yay, she is awesome 

Did you ever think, your life can't get worse...................and they does...........

Ducky?

Blondie, So glad you got a nice visit and shopping done, too.

Ducky, Unfortunately, yes I have experienced things getting worse when I thought they were as bad as they could get. I'm sorry you are in this situation. When it happened to me, it involved a situation with my boy. I'm thinking about you and praying for you. When you feel up to sharing, I will be here. ((Hugs))
