Sheila, you said that you got a message from your son..does that mean you got to talk to him, or was it a voicemail? How old is your son? I bet the holiday season is so tough for you!!
I can't imagine. Where do you work? I am actually busy today, first time since the whole holiday season started.
Lisa
-
Sue...are you shouting orders at me? lol!
I am busy...multi tasking..it's what us mothers do best!!
I had bad headaches with my tx's. Especially the first 2. They actually sent me for a CAT scan, to be sure nothing was wrong. It was the worst headache I ever had. Not even my pain killers were helping it.
You worked too long Sue!! Now...I am reprimanding you! No wonder you are tired and have a headache..that is a long day!
Do you have much shopping to do Sue? I still have to wrap!!!!! I will after I babysit my little bugaboo tomorrow!! Yippee!! I am looking forward to that!

Sue...drink lots and lots of water!! Maybe you are dehydrated. That will cause a bad headache. I have been getting them lately too. Not sure if mine are weather related, sinus. I have been putting slices of lemon in my water..makes it taste so fresh that I end up drinking allot more.
That is a good idea to go grocery shopping tomorrow. I still have to do that, I will have to fit that in somehow tomorrow too!
Oh my..I am spreading myself thin! I just realized that is the only day I can do it..because I picked up some extra hours, and I am working on Sunday. I am crazy! Well..good thing is...I have off Monday 24-28th!
Going to take something for my headache.

Life preserver...and life guards...we will send you a handsome sexy lifegaurd and a life preserver!!

My son, John, is 22 and in the navy, we communicate now by e-mail and text messages. He hopes to call me Christmas. I do alright most of the time but when I see the greetings from overseas on TV, hear "I'll be home for Christmas" on the radio, or a homecoming involving children, I choke up some thinking about him being away. I guess they never grow up, funny thing is he actually requested t-shirts and socks for Christmas!! When he got them in his stocking when he was growing up, he did not like that as presents.
sue I was going to say LifeSavers and Lifeguards but I was beaten to it. Hope you find a good looking lifeguard to save you.
I work for a furniture company in North Carolina, answering the switchboard and keying orders. It always gets slow right before Christmas.
I will not be on the boards tomorrow, having 2nd stage recon surgery tomorrow.
Sheila
-
Sheila, I feel for you. Working at the airport, I see so many service men & women, leaving and coming home. I see family's with tears of all kinds in their eyes. I hear children, saying...Daddyyyyyyyyyy! It's very moving! Funny, how kids end up appreciating the gifts that they detested as children.
My oldest daughter is 23, she lives out of state, but knowing that I could not talk to her, or see her for a long period of time would be very difficult.
What is being done tomorrow in regards to your 2nd stage surgery? I wish you all the best, and pray things go well for you.
Lisa

Sheila xxxx Isn't having children the most happiest but saddest experience....I get so sad everytime my boys school hols end.....goodness knows how you must feel at times.....it is bad enough for mums when children leave home ...let alone get posted miles away.... I will be thinking of you both and hoping you will soon be able to get together next year xxxx Good luck with your surgery tomorrow....you will be in my thoughts ... I always love to hear from you....John is very lucky to have a great mum xxx

lets sing along if you remember the classic song "I'm getting nipples for Christmas! My dear husband is glad..." (so much for my song writting career)
Sheila
-
lol sheila....you could wrap your nipples up for your dear husband!! lololol...what a nice pressie!
-
haha..oh my ladies..thanks for the laugh!
Sheila..you will have to let me know how that goes. I will have that done in late spring or early summer.
I'm getting nippies for christmas...haha...

Hi Sue
! Follow , follow , follow , follow , follow the yellow brick road!
OK , we have all said it , but you keep on pushing yourself , you are gonna end up sick as a dog! PLEASE , take care of you! Do you hear me young lady? Don't make me jump in the pond and swim over there. But if I do , I'll bring you that hunky life guard and a life preserver. Please slow down , please take care.xxxx
Oh Lisa , I just read my e-mail!! I e-mailed you back. We definately have to get together. Maybe the next time I am in Kent visiting my son we can get together for lunch!?!xxxx
Oh Sheila , I would be crying alot this time of year especially. Its hard enough to be away from your child , but the worry is there too. I hope you get to talk to John. Send him lots of socks and undies! My son was the same when he was little and got the dreadded clothing for presents , he would say " I'll take it , but I don't like it"! So funny they are...
Good luck tomorrow with the nips. Hey , I thought of another song you can sing. " I'm getting nipples in the morning!lol Prayers and hugs to you. xxxx
Poppy , you are havesting morphine! Sue , you crack me up. Poppy I do hope the pain eases and you can see a dentist. I hate having a toothache. I haven't for many years , but I heard chemo can bring it on. I know you didn't do chemo , so maybe its to much chocolate. Take care.xxxx

Melody...I pm'd you..and sent you another email. I hope this one worked!! I am bad!

Well, I had to check in with all my beloved sisters. The latest news on the kitten banned to the garage.
I took my Whippet out, to put him in the car and wait for Walt. I held little Cleo for a few minutes, got her to purr and got a kiss or two.
Then, she hopped off my lap, and, no cat! I looked and looked, and the little stinker had jumped on the car and walked in the open window and was starring at Dusty from the top of the seat! So cute. She is a little imp. Then, when we got home, I let him out, she pops up, and walks under him, and zap, slaps his hind leg on the way. He loves to play so he hops around and does a canine "play bow", scared her to death, but I see potential! I would so love if if they liked each other. He is very gentle, but her play is to pounce and run, and that rattles him, his is to jump around and act crazy and that rattles her. So we'll see. Two more weeks, we can have her back in the house.
Hey Sue? How are you sweetie, how did the day go. I think you are asleep, now, it is about 1am in England. You better be!
hahahaha, mama here.
Love you all, Shirlann -
Ick. Feeling a bit fluish tonight. I wish the dh was here to fix dinner for the kids, but no such luck. It's 6pm here, so I'd better feed them. Take care ladies. Hopefully, I'll be able to contribute more tomorrow. I hate how I feel tired yet wired at the same time. Stupid steroids.
Hugs,
Karen
-
Aww..Shirlann...those two will soon be fast friends!
Karen, I am so sorry you feel bad. Poor thing! I hope today you feel better!
Off and running, so much to get done today. Hugs to all!

Morning Ladies,
Missed posting last night, went out to dinner with DH, SIL & nephew. Was so surprised when my nephew asked if he could sleep over sometime!! He's 10 - and I love him to pieces. He's coming to work with me next week for a "Kids Day" and I think I'll have him sleep over the night before.
Poppy & Karen - so sorry to hear your feeling crappy. Just remember its not permanent - it will pass.
Shirlann - don't you just love it when things work out?? You'll soon be taking pictures of those two sleeping side by side!!
Dearest Sue - take this day off and REST or Aunty Em is going to track you down on that yellow brick road and drag you home!!!
Back to work I go............

I have been shopping but not wrapped any presents still....
I am now going to boil dry the wig.....as I havent washed it for 11 days or so...and it will have to go in the dryer as it may not be dry in time for work tomorrow
wish me luck!!
Karen ....hold on tight...I so know that feeling on not being able to make the boys tea....its such a grit the teeth week isnt it....I hope you will crash out later....or have crashed out ...cos I am sure you dont mean 6pm today ...as its 530pm here rite now.....I am confusing now xxxx
Aunty Em have a lovely day at work ..... isn't it great your nephew coming to work with you....I love nephews and nieces....they always make me feel right honoured with their love ...lol....Your nephew sounds lovely! xxx

Hi Karen
Hope you are feeling better today, pain is a terrible thing, Im so glad I didn't chuck out that liquid morphine from the hospital!
I felt a lot better this morning. The morphine got me right off to sleep.
Got my nails done today and Im going out tomorrow to get me first bra fitting since the op. Bring on the sexy underwire jobbies!
Can you drink alcohol with antibiotics? -
Thanks so much for the well wishes ladies. I'm feeling quite a bit better this morning. Still a tad achy, but not horribly bad. I took some Tylenol, so I'm hoping that will do the trick.
Poppy, I'm glad the morphine did the trick and that you got some good sleep. It's probably not a great idea to drink while on antibiotics, not that I haven't done it
. One drink shouldn't hurt you.
Sue, you silly goose! Don't feel like you've wasted your day by sleeping. Your body NEEDS it! Good for you for actually listening to your body for once!
Valerie, have fun with your nephew during your sleepover. Nieces and nephews are so much fun. Mine are grown, so now I get to enjoy their kids who range from six to two months in age. Christmas is so much fun with all the little ones running around!
Shirlann, your animal stories are great. Poor sweet little Cleo. She doesn't have too much time left in quarantine, does she?
Well, I'd better run. I've still got tons of wrapping to do.
Take care all!
Love and hugs,
Karen

My turn to have a really crappy week. Had #3 on Monday (my oldest son's birthday...nice.)
I love to read everyone's posts...reminds me that I will feel better soon.
Poppy...I have a son named Owen, too. He is 10 and a little charmer.
Karen, can you tell your husband that you need his help on these weeks when you are feeling your worst? Most men don't get this stuff on their own, you have to pretty much wack them over the head with what you want. He could even just pick up something for dinner on his way home, maybe?
-
Arr Owen is a great name apparently welsh?
My son is 10 next year, Obviously he knows everything and acts like he is 18!
Great though, like my little mate

i will just copy and paste wat i have wrote in the other thread as i feel sos so so tired,,,
plz forgive me for that
i will catch up all ur lovely posts wen i can open my eyes better,,
hi all lovely dear sisters..
i am sorry for not being around for the last 9 days,,i was almost dead,,
very strange reaction to taxotere,,they even dont know or decided yet if i am going to continue on it or exchange it,,
i am silly ,,stupid one ,,i know that,,,u cant believe what i have done to myself???????i will tell u ,,,,
i just forgot to take the steroids in the day before the 1st taxotere,,they forgot to ask me about it as they were sure that they have sent me a note by pail to my adress..this is true but it was the old adress ..i didnt receive any reminder about that on th new adress so i just forgot and they didnt ask,,,
anyway..they gave me the dose and my heart started to beat crazily,,,i turned red withen seconds and dont remember really wat happened after that..my husband was deadly sacred the nurse too who couldnt realize wat was happenning with me ,,,at this moment they stopped the treatment and started to give me systemic steroids ,,i was unconciouse ,,i even cant remebr wat happened,,i felt like i was dying and my spirit was leaving my body while i was watching all that ,,,
after they gave me the steroids and somethinsg else which i dont know wat,,my onk ,decided to start the taxotere again after 2 hrs to c if i will feel the same or not,,and i did well this time,,and took the whole dose of the 1st taxotere..
then she started to ask me about the dose that i took in the day be4 and in the day of the treatment,,and i told her that i did not took anything at all..she was angry like a crazy ,,she was yelling on the nurses and everyone about that mistake not to remeber me ,,,
it was a very hard day on me and hubby,,,
anyway i went home but the horror never ends ,,the side effects were so sever,,my all body having red rush ,,the arm of my bad side was so swollowen and so so sore and painfulll ,,heavy like lead,,.then no apetiete at all with sever dihrarria,,,which is still till now..
and this sever pain allover the body ,,my bones were screaming,,i couldnt even touch myself ,i was cryijng all the time to be dead just to get some rest ,,i couldnt sleep for continiouse 4 nights ,,,
all the past week was a real nightmere...and this foot swelling ,,burnning sensation,,,it is beyond the discrebtion...
i was in hell..i couldnt even get online ,,i was not able to go to the bath room,,,anything make me feel so so tired with short breath,,,and still having some of the theses side efffects,,,but once i feel that i can type a post to tell u all my sisters about wat was going on with me ,,i did it,,
i am sorry i couldnt catch the posts for the last few days ,,and i couldnt know about ur news and how is everyone doing with treatment but i promise i will do that tomorrow or day after tomorrow,,,
dear all ,,u were in my mind all the time even wen i was not able to be online ,,,,
all of u crossed my mind in that room wen i was almost dead,,

Oh Ulla, you had us all worried sick! So sorry about your reaction, dang it all. So sorry.
Sue, what I used to do, and this may not work at all for your boys, I set out 4 chairs and printed a big sign: DAVID DANIEL, etc. Taped it to each chair, put their gifts on the chairs and around them, UNWRAPPED, sprinkled fake snow over it all, and my kids just loved it! I don't know if this would work for you, but it sure is easy!
Yes, many gals complain of headaches. I don't know what part of you chemo DOESN'T make hurt? Maybe that is a real short list.
Honey, try to take it easy, I know it is hard, but you are running yourself ragged in the cold winter. Did you get your flu shot?????
Mom wants to know?
Love you sweetie, Shirlann
