    morning Sas & ALL

    Resident worrywart is obsessing about our sweet PattyPepper. HOOTIE hoo if you are lurking....

    Anyone have a update ?

    I am flying in a back country, very small plane into the wilderness area tomorrow morning. We are talking over the ridge into a area with no services....I hope I don't puke...I will camp one night & fly back out Sunday morning. It will be cold, central Idaho, the temps will get down to low 40s. A wedding of two kids ( 34 yrs. ) that I have known since the day they were born. I know it will be amazing, but I am freaking out

    Holey. Cross your arms, tuck hands in armpits, while sitting down put left heel on top of right big toe. Will help with anxiety. Sounds like an awesome trip.

    Spooks. I saw a Christmas tree that hung on the wall. I can't remember what it was made of.

    I've missed the post that started the Halloween discussion.

    Does anyone have patties contact info? Card shower?

    Zills, thanks for the tip. I have not heard of that before. Could of used it during the dark days of the red devil.

    All this xmas tree talk....wooo, the holidays are fun to think about, but the time it gets here, I am so done with it.

    Spookie, I have gotten several 3 footers, lights attached at Home Depot for $10.00. Cute, comes in a decorative pot. Even has some pine cones. We always get a fresh tree. Last year we skipped it. I had my little fake ones, the clean up from the fresh ones....oy! Takes 6 months to get all those needles cleaned up

    I'd love to have a real tree too, but with my pets and then having to water the sucker on a regular basis, it's too much fuss. Love the fake on I have the bottom branches fold out and then the top is just plopped on. I shape the tree after its all put together and before it gets decorated. Got 8' ceilings, so I can fit a 7' tree easily even with the star.

    I have not seen Patty on any threads either. I know the last update on her did not sound good. If there is anyone here who has heard anything anywhere? Thinking of all the Stage IV sisters here today.

    I would like to find a tree I can put up on my table and put up some of my fav ornaments. My mother had one years ago, held about 10 or so ornaments and like a wire thing that had spaces to hang things. I like this one!

    (shyly) What is the etiquette about sending IRL cards to people? I haven't been on long enough to really know any of the....what? high grade patients? recurring ladies?

    It's not so much the tree as it is getting the boxes from the attic, the fact that he can't spend Christmas with his family. Me, DD and her family don't count. Never have. I won't go north for a lot of reasons anymore, never tried to stop him. I wish he would. Gas is cheap, he has a good car, but it's easier to blame me for all of this.

    But I'm planning on DD to help me, then put the stuff *I* want under my bed so next year won't be like this.

    DD is planning to go up sometime during winter break. She will tell him in advance, we'll see if he goes. I will stay home with the dogs. That's what he did when I took my moms ashes up to bury.

    It's complicated, I hate it. I'm stuck.

    I am sorry Ms. Spookie. That's what you meant by life dumping on you? Wish I lived close by. I would swing by and take you to lunch. Very stressful when we have conflicts in a relationship

    Queenie, can you translate that, even upside down I couldn't figure it out.

    On Patty, Chit dummy me, I have her address stored in my PM's b/c I sent her the brownies. Thanks to Mamma showing me West Point , I just remembered. I will locate it and then start sending it to everyone by PM. Do you think I should get permission from her.

    5:26 I'll try her phone

    Hiho, have fun on your trip. It will be ok. If I made it out in one piece on a small old Indonesian aircraft (that I was so afraid one of the propellers would fall off during our trip), you will too.

    Jazzy, that Christmas tree reminds me of Charlie Brown's. I like it. Simple!

    MamaRay, I kind of understand what you meant by getting emotional during radiation therapy. Had a Mammogram this morning on the "spared" breast. It hit me right after I stood in front of the cold looking machine....and it's not even radiation tx!!! Good thing the room was not bright. I don't think the technician saw the tears escaped my eyes.

    Ms. Sas, you are right on about driving when you have piriformis--it hurts. SO, I guess no Walmart trip for you Ms. Chevy until you are better.

    Z, I tried out the arms crossing, hands under the armpit while I was waiting for my Gyn to see me this afternoon. It was interesting. I found myself thinking about random things and then the next thing I knew I was imagining myself on a cruise ship!! Hah! I told myself I need to snap out of the position as soon as I hear or see the door knob moving. Didn't want my Doc to freak out seeing me in the straitjacket position with my head tilting down. Sure don't need another referral

    Sas: would, say, Rosevalley or PeppermintPatty, or whomever is going through a crap time just now, take it amiss if a comparative noob sent them an IRL 'thinking of you' card? I expect it varies from person to person, but I can see a goodly number being jumpy about someone they perceive as being a stranger knew their street address.

    Or perhaps just a PM through BCO, if the person expresses a willingness to be so communicated with.

    (My instinct is "No to the mailed card, unless there's been a personal communication of some sort already through BCO." but I thought I'd ask.)

    Hi everyone!

    Just jumping in to say hello and hugs :)

    I see some mention of patty....no news? I'm worried too....and I'd love to participate in a card send off.

    Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend and are free from pain and se's.

    I'm joining a woman's mentoring thing at our church and we have our first meet up Sunday. I don't know if anyone remembers me mentioning several months back a woman sitting in front of me at church. She turned around during service and smiled and I noticed she had really short grey/brown hair like me. She stopped me after service and said hello, as it turned out she had also recently gone thru tx for BC. She gave me her number and I was unsure about reaching out to her.

    Patty urged me to call her :) She was right....this lady's name is Lynn and she is part of the woman's mentoring and asked me to join. Anyway, I just wanted to share that and that I'm thinking of Patty and all of the rest here often.

    ((hugs))

    Mom2.....WHAT????? I mean are you still going to school? Ah man, I could hardly make it through the first time, much less continuing some education AFTER! And make a report? Let ME do it for you.... I'll give you a great report, as how I see it.... We could even ask Phylloneveratalossforwords to help us out! She would get you flunked.... in no time... her vocabulary is somewhat lacking.... like mine is.

    Sass, I saw a video on piriformis.... But it is the sciatica now that is wreaking havoc on my whole back-side.... going down my leg, and it IS like a tooth-ache. Making my lower leg numb.... I have had sciatica before.... it's not the same as piriformis........ I had x-rays....... and being the numbness down my leg, they are pretty sure it is

    http://www.news-medical.net/health/What-is-Arthralgia.aspx

    When the Primary care Doc examined me, she is the one that said it is probably piriformis.... but at THAT time, my leg was not numb, and I could lift my leg.... The ER Doc said, after the x-rays that it is Arthralgia.... the sciatica is what it is now...... And the pain WAS in my butt.... Not as much now... It is in the front, in the groin, like it was in 1985....

    ANYway, I just took 2 Aleve.... I'll take the oxycodone before I go to bed. We walked around Walmart today, and Sprouts.... They said to walk... but not over-do it.

    I took a class years ago... the "Well-back" class.... And I have a whole note-book on those stretches to help sciatica.... I just can't do them yet.... I always brace myself when getting up.... Yes it's the same side as the broken leg.... I can't Do some of those normal exercises for sciatica...I'm lucky to lift my leg into the car now!

    No, I don't twist.... except on the pole....

    Yes, when I was in the hospital, getting physical therapy, you go UP with the good side, and down with the bad leg.... same thing.... up to heaven, and down to hell.... I do stairs the same way.... one at a time....

    So that's all I know.... It will get better.... I just have to THINK about stuff from now on, and not think I can be my own contractor...Ha!

    Hi, I left a message on patty's recorder. I can't remember if she has a house phone or just uses cell. She has called me in the past on her cell from the hospital. Anyways. The message is definitely on her phone. The last message I left was a generic phone answering voice message, so I must have misdialed. Her address was 16 pages back in my PM's. Kind of crazy, getting sidetracked.

    I also, looked for Marlanab, she's been missing since Aug 15 or 16. Sent a message to Mods to ask them to contact her,

    Then realized we haven't heard from EEyore either.

    BBL have to fetch DBF.

    Did some digging and I think I found Marly's address. I feel like Penelope in Criminal Minds. Actually, I feel like a stalker I scare myself. Will try to send her a card and see what will happen. Hopefully, I won't scare her away.

    Ummm Mods, I didn't hack into your system. Please don't red flag or ban me. I need my sisters
