    Smarty- thank you for the beautiful baby photos. Evie and Ben are such happy and healthy children!

    Wildtulip- I have seen so many women here go back to school to find new/different careers in the post BC world. I love the idea of a nutrition coach and with your bc experience, I bet you could tap into a cancer program where you might be able to work for an organization to help cancer patients. Many women struggle with other health issues in the post bc world from the treatments and medications we have to do. Been chatting with a sister tonight who is heading in to diabetes (I hit borderline a few years ago and managing in through diet and meds).

    Your coaching would be invaluable to many. Good luck and let us know if you decide to go for it?

    Wild T, Go for it! I got a master's degree in counseling when I was 54 and worked at that until I was 68. It was the first job that felt worthwhile. It was hard work to go back to school, but I had way more discipline than when I was young. I'm really glad I did it.

    Shep, I'm so sorry to hear this news. For both you and Marti. My best cat got cancer and I lost her just as I was about to have the mastectomy. At the time I was devastated and I still miss her a lot. Let us know what your doc says about treatment. I know they can do very targeted radiation that works well to knock tumors back. Hugs for you and your DH.

    Oh Shep, I am sooooo sorry to see your post about the double shock of yours & Marti's. I wish I could be there to give you moral support. But I will do my best from here, plus keep you lifted up in prayer too. (((Hugs to You!)))

    Also, I'm with WildT in saying that *Cancer Sucks!*

    WildT - Good for you! Go for the schooling if that is what will make you happy.

    Sensi - I hope you don't overdo it working those extra shifts. Take care of your body. Make sure you get enough rest.

    Kirby is doing very well. His paw seems back to normal and he is walking and playing again without limping. He went to the vet on Wednesday for his last puppy shots and screamed when the vet tried to give him the injection, so she stopped and squirted some of that squirty type cheese on the exam table and while Kirby was busy licking the cheese up, the vet gave him his shot and he didn't even realize what happened.

    Lita - Glad you got your tablet working again. How did the brownies & butter turn out?

    Smaarty - So glad you are drain free. Evie looks as adorable as always. Can't believe it's been a year already.

    Wren - Wow, what an accomplishment to go back to college in your 50's and be able to have a fulfilling career.

    Chevy - Thanks for updating us on PattyP. How are you doing? Do you still have lots of snow? So ready for Spring this year.

    Hello Loverly! How is Mitzy? What did you end up doing in regards to her food? How are you doing? How is your Dad?

    Has anyone heard anything about Susan?

    Okay, I am going to call it a night. Sleep well all and have a great Sunday.

    I trust that for you, especially for you, with all your strength of character and witty outlook on life, there will be better days, even in the midst of sadness and medicine.

    From Patty's thread....

    Message from Patty, received late Saturday evening (10:40 pmfor me):

    =============================

    Yes got home yesterday. Sorry for not letting you know. It's great to be home. My own couch, recliner , shower and a FAMILY. Slept great last night with no one waking me every 2 hours - literally.

    How are you?

    =============================

    I was asleep when her message arrived, and I don't want to wake her now. I'll respond later.

    Wren: I don't feel so old now! (Back at a local community college--am older than many of the teachers, never mind the students!)

    I'd pm'ed Susan3, because I was wondering too; mainly, she'd keeping busy! Three days of work, one day of babysitting 'Dorable Grandbaby, and hiking. Tires me out just reading that, but she wishes she had her old energy back.

    WildT, go for it. How long is the program?

    I like to watch my kids compete also. They don't like it though because it makes them nervous. So I just pretend I am not paying attention

    Good for you Ms. Wren for going back to school in your 50's. I have a friend (53 years old) who is applying for Med school. It has always been her dream to become a physician. She actually was accepted to Med school after finishing her Pre-Med courses, but her Mother destroyed the acceptance letter before my friend saw it. She didn't find out it until about ten years ago. How could a mom do that to her own child?

    Lita, how do you know how much to put in the brownies? I would be afraid to OD. Ha!

    JunieB, Mitzy is currently on the limited ingredients lamb Canine Caviar for about 2 weeks now. She has been scratching :( . Will wait and see if the scratching continues. I may need to switch her back to the one with the duck. She did pretty good on that. Still waiting for the sample from Honest Kitchen (turkey).

    Dad has appointment with neuro doc this Friday. Hopefully, no surgery. He tried backing off on the Neurontin the other day and woke up in pain in the middle of the night.

    I better hit the sack as I have to work tomorrow. Took too long of a nap this afternoon. I know I am going to pay for it tomorrow.

    Morning, Feline!

    Mom was happy that I had called her on her birthday. I told her that I am so sorry that we were not able to go see her but she told me that it was okay and that she didn't expect me to drop everything and travel that far to see her since I am still recovering from having some cysts removed from the cancer surgery scar tissue.

    Ok WildT, went back and read your post....it is a one year program. Not bad. Is the program expensive? I wish you success.

    Oh Susan, Elena's pics ( and Evie's) always make me smile.

    Ok my turn.

    This is Mia:

    Junie, the butter turned out fine, and the brownies produce a very light, mellow relaxing high. No "stoned" feeling, just light buzz...of course that is only if you consume half a brownie. Eating an entire brownie would no doubt increase the affects.

    Hope everyone has a good week.

    Sheps! Now what is going on? Of course us girls are with you.... By the way.... your brain sounds just fine, girl!

    I just went to the Doc's too.... It's pneumonia.... even though I had that shot, AND the Prevnar 13 booster, but SHE said there are a lot of different kinds of pneumonia... I just didn't feel good... So after the sniffles, freezing death, coughing, and wheezing, all the things I was doing, .... didn't help a lot. DD hollered and said YOU HAD BETTER GO IN!!

    I just want to work out in the yard! If I just do a little, and then rest, I am fine. Got the z-pak and another inhaler.... I'm using the Nebulizer and taking Zyrtec, and stuff for my nose. So Sheps..... I CAN'T come see you.... I would love to sit with you, and talk silly.... but I'll just try & make you laugh.... somehow....

    Did you see that GUY Ms. Smarty sent??? She is a wild one! Hah!

    Did anyone notice there are puppies in this picture?

    ShpeK, what did the brain surgeon say? I did not say "Oh Bother", because that's what Pooh will say, but I did sigh while in your pocket. It's a long day for you!

    Shep- brain surgery is no small decision. I hope the surgeon could help you understand the pros and cons of such a procedure. I am sure you are exhausted from today. We will be here to listen whenever you are ready.

    How else can we help you friends? You need some silliness?

    ShepK...I knew you would enjoy that photo of Zena. She is a love bug and a goofball.

    Here is another pic of her:

    image

    Her snout is bigger than a teacup chihuahua!

    I hope they take care of it soon for you. Don't worry. You have a whole tribe of warriors behind you.

    MamaJ, I can't stop starring at those puppies.

    And please wait until you are better to work in your yard. I need my Mama.

    Jazzy, that poor cat!!!

    Ms. S., I got my order of hyaluronic acid today. Hope it will help with my sacroiliac problem. With the weather we are having this year, as soon as I got some relief, we have another storm in line. It hurts to walk up the stairs. Thanks youJazzy for the recommendation. Hopefully, in a few months, I will get rid of the fine lines on my face also.
