Starting Chemo in JAN 2007

Hi all... HB to Caya and Debbies DH! Yes, all birthdays are good now, huh? When I hear someone whine that they are going to be 40 or something nowadays, I say hey, beats the alternative!
Had a very good time watching Jac play her first soccer game tonight. She was a riot. She almost scored. She totally chased that ball down and we just cracked up. I so needed it as I've been feeling in a funk all week.
I just started bleeding again tonight...not sure if this will be a staining episode or another full blown hemorrage period. I think I am being cursed for calling it TamoxiFUN. I'm dreading the D and C. I bet she's going to want to do it fast. Well, it'll have to wait until Paul's done w/his nose surgery.
Rebecca, stinks about Ana at school. One thing about Jac, when someone gives her a bad time, she tells me right away. She walked past the losers house today & the dad called her over and said he'd only banned her from playing for the week. WHO KNEW! He told her to call home to see if she could play there and she did and my son called me on my cell to say she was there and I sent him immed. over to get her butt out of there. I am not dancing to their tune...they are not dictating when my kid can/cannot play and telling her to go home when there are groups of children all there having fun.

Tina, those people are AWFUL aren't they? How dare they mess with poor little Jaclyn that way. Gets my blood pressure up just thinking about it. They're messing with her, and they're messing with you......they're poison. Not that I'm telling you anything you don't know.
Rebecca, I'm so sorry for poor little Ana, too. But great that you can sleep on your stomach again - that's a big step. And I'm sure your insurance company will pay up - they just make us work for every little cent they pay...and I'm sure there are lots of older folks who aren't able to make sense of all the forms and end up paying for things that are covered, because they don't know it's wrong. I hate insurance companies! The one we have this year has been pretty good (like 50% of the time things are right), but last year I had to fight everything, and it was exhausting.
Skye, glad you made it to Madison and had a good time. I've always thought that would be a fun place to live. The story about the lady who didn't understand why your (or her) fibromyalgia was less important than your cancer was typical. So many people think that way.
Debbie, the dim sum place sounds delicious - will have to ask you for the name of it next time we're in Austin. Don't tell me now, I'll forget! Happy b-day to your dh.
Jan, I love the t-shirt - where did you find it? Are you rock climbing this weekend?
Joni, hope you're having a wonderful weekend with the girls.
Caya, I'll tell you Monday, but will tell you now, too, HAPPY 49th! You're young, and look even younger, so no worries. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Melia, hope you're feeling cheerier. You will be beautiful for the wedding, I have no doubt. None of us are quite what we were a year ago, but you are beautiful inside and out, and that is what everyone will see and be glad that you are there.
Sharon, hope you're doing ok - hang in there, and bug them like crazy to get your results. You don't need the stress. Glad you got your avatar up - I love that photo of you.
I had the best day today. It was day three of the M. D. Anderson cancer survivors seminar, and the whole day was just so incredible. Wonderful speakers, very inspirational, from the head of MDA to a specialist in nanotechnology to a lady dr. breast cancer survivor who has written a book on how to get back to normal after cancer treatment (now is that a timely topic for me, or what? With one week of rads to go?) to an oncologist specializing in osteoporosis in breast cancer patients....it just went on and on, and it was all like it was designed especially for me. At the very end, they had a huge (over 100) group of motorcycle riders ride up (this was shown on big video screen so we could see it) and I thought they were just riding by to support us, but they then all came in (to the sounds of "Born to be Wild") and gave us all black bandannas and said they wanted us to know we weren't alone on our journey. It was a total surprise to me although I guess they do this every year, and I found it very moving for some reason, as in, I burst into tears! Very cool experience, very cool hospital.
The new car is just fine, even though I didn't pick it out. I would have spent less, but I do love the car, so I guess I'll drop my pouting about not getting to choose, and just enjoy it. Cars have come along way since I got my last one 11-12 years ago. I'm not a car person, so I didn't realize.
I am pleased that the administrators are responding fairly quickly to our complaints and concerns about the new boards. They are listening, and that means a lot. We will probably end up with something better than we had, if we can just roll with it for a little while here.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Hi Ladies,
DH is at the Packers game in Green Bay, DS2 is at DS1's watching the Packer game, and I am so delightfully enjoying having the house to myself. I successfully navigated church and all the usual questions...I feel sort of like I'm lying when I say yes, I'm doing fine, the main treatments are behind me..but I don't want to get into explaining that I'm waiting to find out if I need a chunk of my sternum removed. I guess there will be plenty of time to tell that if it becomes necessary.
I did something nefarious today. I sent an email application and resume for a job for DS2, complete with cover letter expressing enthusiasm for the position. It would be a great job for him...buyer for an arts and crafts product catalog...and right now he is too distracted completing an illustration job for a History Channel show to sit and apply. I could barely force him out of the house to go enjoy the game with his brother. And I NEED him out of the house. Anyway, if he doesn't want to follow up he doesn't have to, but at least I insured that he had a good application package and that his reply will be one of the first to arrive. His father and I so want him to find a good job. The illustration gigs are just too far and few between. Anyway I'm feeling quite pleased with myself.
Mel I'm glad the car is working out. Most important car quality to me is the color. New cars have so many more safety features too, you are probably much better off now than with the old one. Maybe your dh thought he was doing you a favor by shouldering the manly burden of car-picking. :-) The bikers with black bandannas; what a total hoot! I would have loved to have heard all those topics...am particularly interested in the onc who specializes in bc osteoporosis, having found out that I have osteopenia which is the next closest thing. Did you get any good hints? Please share!
Tina it was fun to read of Jac's triumph on the field. That kind of thing is so good for little girls. Hope everyone has had some fun or rest this weekend, preferably both. - Skye -
You know, echoing what Skye said, it is kinda strange to answer all the questions from folks you haven't seen for a while. After returning to work last week I've found it a little frustrating to have to smile, and say, "Yes, I feel great. I am fine. Yes, I'm back full time." I get it that they are being nice and some are actually interested
, but I am so far out of active treatment, that I am just sick and tired and bored with the whole conversation. I am hoping that my co-workers can move on.And on the whole hair thing...I am actually really liking my curls. I have had my hair almost this short in the past and it really didn't look good--too straight and severe looking. Now that it's short and curly, there's a lot of body. I think I heard the curls last about 2 years. You will then hear me complaining about my straight, limp hair. Never satisfied, am I?

It's been a pretty quiet weekend here. Last night DH and I brought in the shiva dinner meal to my friend Susie's family. My SIL (Allan's sister) also came by to help set up and serve it. We got it from an Israeli style food restaurant - Tlapia fillets, salad, falafel, rice, etc. They really enjoyed it. And yes Tina, mirrors are either covered or sprayed with special stuff the funeral home gives you (easily wiped off afterwards). The idea is that the mourners are not thinking about themselves - grooming is kept to a minimum for the week, etc.
Skye, I love having the house to myself on a weekend afternoon - and you sly devil - applying for that job for DS - I can't blame you though, and hopefully if he gets a reply and a call for an interview he won't be upset. I understand the need for you to have him out of the house. I am just one week being an empty nester, and believe me, I love having my girls around, but I also enjoy the peace and quiet (not to mention the orderliness of the house).
Viddie - glad your boobs got lanced and everything is going along as you thought it would. You really give me inspiration to do it.
Rebecca -sorry your little Ana is being bullied. I think it's a bit of an epidemic out there these days - from hearing the stories about the crap Jaclyn has gone through and now your Ana - I think kids today may be more inclined to be mean and get away with it because sometimes the parents are not willing to discipline their children - they stick up for their little darlings.
It's the Jewish New Year this week, so I have been busy baking cookies and getting stuff ready to take to the 2 dinners. The first night we are going to my MIL, and the second night to one of my cousins. We all bring something which makes it easier on the person who is hosting the meal.
have a good night all
-
Caya, your birthday and Jewish New Year all in one week! Sounds like one excellent, long fest time to me, hope you have the best birthday ever. Cookies are always good. Your girls will be back to help celebrate?
Yes I can't wait to see Nate's face when I tell him he has applied for a job. The funny thing is my mother just called half an hour ago, she saw the same ad and also immediately thought he was perfect for it and wanted to be sure we knew about it, I had to laugh and laugh before telling her he had already applied despite the fact that he had no idea it existed. :-)
That's what moms are for, right? - Skye -
Skye,
Yes the girls will be back for Rosh Hashana - and I'm sure it will be a nice week. DH and I will go out for dinner somewhere tomorrow night - I'm thinking maybe a nice steak/seafood restaurant. We've been watching our carbs this week DH is down about 5 lbs, I'm down about 2. It's so much easier to watch what we eat when the girls aren't here - they are pretty healthy eaters, it's the junk we have to keep around in case their friends come over
-
I am trying to psych myself up for going back to work tomorrow with my ungrateful boss. We had a good weekend with dinners and relaxing with friends. I am also dreading my pelvic ultrasound on Tuesday and drinking all of that water! I always drink it too soon or too much. However Tuesday night we are having our priest friend over for dinner who is going to marry by DS#1 in May 2009 so that should be fun and something to look forward to.
Skye, I don't blame you for applying for that job for your DS. Hope he takes it well. Mothers can't help themselves. My DS#2 just came down with a cold at college and I want to run over there to give him some medicine! Hopefully it's only a cold.
Happy birthday tomorrow Caya! Enjoy your dinner and day.
Amera, people just can't seem to understand that we have survived our treatment and feeling good. I have never felt better. Everyone likes my curls too. I didn't know they were suppose to last 2 years? I keep thinking that as it gets longer it will straighten out. We'll see.
Hugs to all.
-
Happy Rosh Hashanah Caya, Viddie, Mary's DH, Rebecca and anyone else I may have missed.
Skye, what a HOWL, you submitting the app! That's something I'd do. My parents did my entire app. to Salem State College. I was so adrift back then. I was accepted and just went...as I really didn't have much else of a plan. Thankfully, I knew the value of a buck and did well and never dropped a class, etc. Got out in the prescribed 4 years...
Caya, I need to get low carbing. My weight is up...stress eating, I think. Plus, I've got the curse going on again.
A Yoplait commercial just came on saying to send in the lids for BC donations. I'm sorry, can they not make it a little easier than having to rinse/wash skanky yogurt lids? ICK.
Mel, glad you enjoyed the day at MDA. My seminar at OSU last spring was just OK. We did have a female doctor/bc survivor who wrote a book at it: Hester Hill Scnhipper. Was it her? Or perhaps Carolyn Kaelin? Both are from Boston.
Jan, you're gonna be disappointed in me... I blew off the pink hat party. I'm so bad, I didn't even rsvp. I nevvvvvvvvvver do that. I was just so spent this week and had zero extra sociablity going on. I just couldn't deal. Perhaps if I'd had a better week. I was kind of mad today when I realized that fall is one of my favorite seasons. Three years ago it was marred by one of those two families out back severely harrassing Jaclyn, last year I had my mastectomy and this year, more neighbor b.s. (For the record, I have tons of fabulous neighbors that totally supported me during all of this and are wonderful to my kids...I should mention them.) I really need to learn to manage stress better. I was derailed last week and want to try to do better this week...maybe get on that treadmill again. I'd like to get an elliptical.
Mel, I didn't catch what kind of car you got.
-
Mary, we must have been posting simultaneously. You know, you only have to drink 32 oz. of water before the pelvic ultrasound. That's just two bottles of water. Not so bad. I began about two hours before my exam and actually didn't even finish it all. They only make you hold that when they roll the transducer over your abdomen. They let you pee before they do the internal part.
-
Season premier of Curb Your Enthusiasm at 10 pm tonight. Anyone like it? He's so outrageous, I just crack up.
My other new fave is The Office. It's so bizarre, but after you watch a few times, it can be really funny. Very dry.
-
Mel, anytime you want to know about the Dim Sum place, just ask. It's right on IH 35 so it would be covenient for stopping on your way through town. It is in a Clarion Inn and Suites of all the most unexpected places. During weekday lunch they have a buffet and a menu, but we've only tried the weekend Dim Sum.
That conference at MD Anderson sounds like it was wonderful. Are you ready to "Head out on the Highway" in your new car wearing your new black bandanna?
I hope everyone's week goes well with holidays, birthdays, school, or whatever. I'm still getting used to not having an appointment every afternoon.
-
Happy birthday Caya!
Tina I really hope that this week is better for you. When you start to feel bummed, just remind yourself that fall is your favorite season. You have no business being sad now....and you are forbidden to let those nasty neighbors impair your enjoyment of this time of year.
Mel that conference sounds like it was totally awesome!
I spoke to Ana's teacher this morning (very nice woman) and she immediately agreed to move Ana's desk, so the little toad can not bother her any more. With my luck, Ana will be put next to the other bully in the class....a kid that we know from other grades that Ana hates. We will see how it turns out later on I guess.
Today I do not have class, so i need to get prepping so I do not have to stress later in the week. I am having a hard time getting motivated though...I think I would rather crawl back into bed. It was around this time last year that I found my lump. It seems like yesterday, and yet at the same time like it was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Is the rhythm of my years going to be punctuated by these things from now on? I would rather move through my life to the beat of a more optimistic drummer I think....birthdays, anniversaries and holidays like the rest of the world.
Ah well....

Skye – I love that you send in the resume for your son. That’s so great. I wish my mother had taken that kind of interest in my career!
Mary – I heard curls last until your first good trim. My hair was curly/wavy before and it seems to be coming back the same. But it’s still too short to tell.
Tina – too bad about the pink hat party – maybe you’ll catch something else they do. You really have had a tough few weeks. Go do some of those deep breathing exercises and get rid of some of that stress. We have enough of our own to deal with – don’t let the neighbors crap get to you!
Debbie – How are you feeling? Any energy? What are you going to do now that you don’t have that daily rads appointment?
Back to hair, mine is still too thin, especially on top. Should I be worried about that – or will it keep filling in more? It doesn’t seem to be getting any thicker.
I’ve gained way too much weight in the last couple of weeks. I lost a lot during chemo, but have now more than gained it back. I’ve been eating really well and exercising pretty regularly – so it really surprised me. I’m adding running to my workout routine this week (in addition to a morning power walk with the dogs, climbing once a week and weights 2-3 times a week). The running should help.
We had a good weekend – out all day yesterday on the lake. The water is great this time of year. Very warm. The girls had a blast.
-
Hey gals,
Happy Birthday Caya Dear BC Sister! May it be a perfect day for you.
Rebecca I'm so glad Ana was moved, and I hope the teacher doesn't let the "toad" pick on anyone else. I used to have a special, isolated desk in my art room for kids like that. As for remembering the anniversaries of life, I think it's impossible for us not to mix in the memories of first dx, chemo, etc. along with the happy ones, but I try to take it as a "look how far I've come" sort of thing. I really am still amazed that I got through so many things I didn't think I could do, and that's worth remembering in itself.
As for the job app, DS2 was actually tickled that I did that for him and is hoping he gets an interview. I was pretty sure it would be ok with him, whereas I never would have done that for DS1. But then DS1 never needed it; he has job headhunters always making him offers. It's the difference between first born and second born.
Say everyone who is on tamo...there is an article in today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about new treatments for bipolar or manic-depressive disorder, and one of them is tamoxifen! It makes people less manic, although they need to use larger doses than bc patients. Anyone noticed feeling calmer?
I watched Robin Roberts this morning and she seemed pretty chipper for being in treatment. She must be having mild treatment? Didn't she have surgery? She was interviewing Oprah who told Robin she was praying for her. Robin seemed slightly embarrassed; I know that feeling so well.
Have a great week everyone - Skye -
Shoot my hair isn't coming in curly, whatzup with that? I'm feeling cheated. Getting use to this new board look, took me awhile to find my way through it. Although, as I am typing this I hope the font doesn't come through as if I am yelling at all of you! It's big!
I wish I could sleep through just 1 night. The hot flashes are killing me, oh how I hate them! I am so tired.
Plus, the Yorkie is sick and has the runs. She wants out all night long. Poor little 5 pounder of a dog, she's practically lost her body weight in poo. Both her and the Lhasa have stomach upset, I haven't changed their food, so who knows what is going on. It's cottage cheese time, It works wonders when they need to "firm up" LOL!
My right arm is aching like a toothache, and yesterday I was crying it hurt so bad. Please tell me this isn't a sign of lymphedema. I also have pain and swelling just under my collarbone on the BC side. I tell ya, this BC has turned me into a paranoid patient. I haven't called a Dr. yet, still trying to decide which one would be interested. I really hate having a Dr. for this and for that! It confuses me.
I am gearing myself up mentally for the "pink" season. It has started already and I feel myself getting teary. I know where I was last year and it is so hard to forget the hit we all took. Why is it human nature to associate such things? I was scared out of my wits and everything was pink and breast cancer coming at me left and right!!! And here we go again
Everyone have a good day...I wish no major issues for everyone have a calm easy going kind of day
-
Hi All,
I hope everyone has a calm day today. We are all dealing with flashbacks to diagnosis, I think. It's very emotional. And all the pink doesn't help. Pink vacuum cleaners, even. Kind of disconcerting.
My hair is coming back ok, and I have stopped wearing the wig at home, still wearing it out and definitely at work. I can't tell what color it is, kind of salt and pepper I think. It feels good to be topless, no hats or wig. I will need it for quite a while at work though.
Those of you who had black fingernails; did that go away?
I am going out of town on business Thurs and Fri and am extending it thru the weekend so I can see the kids. The meeting is in Northern Cal and they all live there. My husband will fly up Sat am and meet up with us all. That will be fun. He hasn't seen the little town where our vet daughter lives and that is where we are gathering. He is going to love it.
Crazy day at work, several people out with various issues, so I am overloaded. At least it makes the time fly!

Hello all:
Well we had a fabulous time in Canmore. We golfed both Saturday and Sunday, even though it was a little bit cool (13 C on Sat, 16 on Sun, which in Farenheit is in the 50's.
We laughed loads, exchanged birthday gifts (we always do this at our yearly get together), ate way too much, and on Saturday night we played Monopoly...I don't think I've played that game for 40 years...anyways we sure had loads of laughs.
On Friday night we never got to bed until 3:30 am, and Saturday we finally called it a day at 2:00. So today, I only just got up at 11:30...guess I was tired! Haha
I felt so regular again this weekend, and this was the first time I golfed since my mastectomy.
Hope everyone else had a great weekend. Happy Birthday Caya!!
-
Tried to post some pics but I can't seem to get it to work. I tried the tree, but it didn't work either.
Joni
-
Yes, Dear Caya, Happy Birthday! They are pretty meaningful now, aren't they?
Melia
-
happy birthday caya hope you are having a good day .
joni
here is a pic of me and my girls you have to us the little tree up beside the smiley and use photoucket or the like . use the "direct link " function and it should work the dr called today about my colonoscopy the biopsies they take are standard for cancer patients . If there was a possiblity of cancer he would have let me know . If course i should have asked at the time and would have spared myself , but you learn as you go along . BIG relief for me .
[
-
What a relief Sharon - we are all learning as we go along. Your girls are beautiful.
Joni - if you can't get the pics to work feel free to email me and I'll post for you. You can PM me for my email address if you don't already have it.
-
Hi ladies
Thanks for all the birthday good wishes - yes Melia they sure are precious now.
Sharon, so glad your biopsy stuff is standard - OY! - now we have biopsies that are "standard".
Nancy - I hear you on the hot flashes - I am having one as I am typing. I am up at least twice per night with sweats.
and no Skye, I have not been calmer since on the Tamox. - in fact, the first 5 - 6 weeks I was weepy, overly emotional and jumpy - this my onc. explained is the estrogen drying up like in menopausal woman, only at lightning speed, hence the nerves and moodiness. Somewhat better the last 2 weeks, I guess my body is adjusting to the new normal.
DH and I had to go out out warehouse today, just got back. Alot of the warehouse staff have not seen me since last year before my dx - it was nice to see them. Tonight I am going out for a nice dinner, and will try to relax.
xoxo Caya
-
Jan, thanks for asking bout me. I do really well in the mornings when I go to water aerobics, but I need to take naps some afternoons. Last Friday I could hardly keep my eyes open about 3 pm and layed down for a nap. Two hours later I woke up refreshed, but I missed a program that is now on at 4:30 instead of 5. The hubby was going to wake me up but he went to sleep, too. Oh well, I guess I'll set an alarm next time.
The skin in the boost area is doing a bit better than it was last week at this time. The redness is nearly gone, and it looks like the new skin will start to fill in any time now. My collar bone is almost completely healed with no redness and no pain so I can see hope for the other area.
-
Hey Debbie, don't feel bad, I take a nap every day, at least half an hour. I seem to have stopped needing 2 per day so that is an improvement. Glad your boost is healing.
Nancy, that pain and swelling under collarbone sounds a lot like what I have, that they are waiting to do an MRI on. I'll be VERY interested to hear what your onc says.
Sharon, you and girls are gawgeous!
Melia, my black bands on nails grew out eventually. So far I haven't lost any nails, but I was taking 10 grams glutamine 3x a day thru chemo and rads so maybe that did help. Hope yours stay too. And have a great weekend trip!
I know what some of you mean about the pink stuff. I like to wear my pink Bucks hat but at the same time I'm always afraid it's screaming BC! So I wore my denim one to the Brewers game last week and there were 3 ladies in front of me wearing pink baseball caps...all with lots of hair...and all with tons of pink and crystal jewelry, big necklaces and such, just because they like the color.
Caya I'm glad you are having a good birthday and your DDs will be home for that and Rosh Hashanah. I've been doing web stuff all day, finally figured out how to upload to my sites again and it will take weeks to update and fix them all. I may get rid of one, 3 is too many! Now to find a good eggplant recipe so I can cook up the one I got at the farmer's market. - Skye -
Maybe it's just because I've recently started back to work after a 9 month absence, but I am having a really hard time remembering anything after about January. It's so strange. I keep thinking that kids who are seniors should be juniors. I cannot remember who graduated. UGH. I'm not sure if this is chemo brain or what. I think I was in such a fog during treatment, I've completely blocked out the year.
And I'm exhausted. Really. I guess teaching and having to be "on" for 6 hours straight takes a lot out of you. I was thinking I had all my energy back but apparently not.
And about the PINK everywhere. Yipes! I was dx in October and also remember being scared to death waiting for the biopsy results, seeing breast cancer awareness stuff everywhere I went.
And I am big time into "canceritis, " and worry that every headache is brain mets. I wonder how long this lasts. It's for the birds.
-
I had a nice day. Took my $100 off coupon to Pearle Vision and bought some funky glasses. They are rectangular, like yours Rebecca, but w/bling on the sides. Oh so Boca.
Jaclyn looooooves them. Paul likes them too. I have those extended wear contacts but got kind of sick of wearing them all the time and my usual glasses are so dull. Sharon, looooooooooove the pics of you and your girls. All of you are gorgeous!
I work tomorrow 10 to 1,

Okaaaaaaaaaaayyyy..... it double posted and I wasn't even done typing. Hmmm.... I was saying I work tomorrow 10 to 1 and then off to the gyno for that much awaited consultation. Tomorrow night is Jaclyn's soccer and curriculum night at school. Up early to be at surgery w/Paul at 7 am on Wed. I had a nice evening tonight w/Wendy out front on my adirondack chairs, chatting. I needed that. She is such a good, impromptu friend. I like those kinds... Amera, it's been so long since I worked, I'm dying doing a four hour shift at a brownie shop. I can't imagine the level of having to be "on" that you are at school. My friend Christine in GA is having succccccch a bad time getting back in the groove, but she was out for at least five years. She's teaching 2nd grade.
Joni, as predicted, more awesome pics. Sounds like you guys had a much deserved blast! Your friends look like a fun group.
Nancy, sorry you're still under the weather. Jeez... and Debbie, do not feel alone. I am 41 and officially a 5 pm power napper. I have become my mother. YIKES!!!!!!!! I can't believe it. Honestly. I won't even answer the phone during a power nap. I've gotta have 'em.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAYA!!!!!!
I hope you had a great day!!!!
Lynn,
I am glad you got a date for surgery. I hope your back starts to feel better. I got a steroid injection twice for my herniated disk and it made a world of difference.
Rebecca,
Good luck with your PS appointment tomorrow. Your insurance company will pay, but it is so frustrating that you have to deal at all with this issue.
Mel,
That seminar sounded very inspirational. I am glad you went. Have fun with your new car.
Skye,
I had a little chuckle. I would have done the same thing. Here’s hoping he gets a response!!
Mary,
Good luck with the pelvic ultrasound. Let us know how it went.
Melia,
Sounds like you have a lovely weekend planned.
Nancy,
I hope you were feeling better today. I would start by speaking to your oncologist or your primary care doctor. Lots of hugs to you.
Joni,
I am so glad you had a great weekend. It is great getting together with the girls- always fun and giggles,
Tina,
It is great to have a special friend to talk to and who will really listen. I am glad you had such a nice evening. You deserve it! Good luck with the gyno appointment tomorrow.
I am off to see the BS tomorrow. I am still bleeding a little. Geez- enough already. I am glad I am seeing her tomorrow. If she thinks I need to see the PS sooner than 3 weeks, hopefully she will call him and tell him so. Maybe I can see him tomorrow in between his surgeries. If not tomorrow, I will insist on seeing him on Friday, his regular office hour day. This is getting so old….I am feeling better today. , and if my boobs would just behave, I would look better too- but that will come in time.
