I LOVE Bridget Jones' Diary, Jane!  The sequel is a crack-up too!  Poor Bridget!  She always seems to say and do the most inappropriate things!

I hope your sis has a chance to spend some good quality time with you today.  How wonderful that you were able to cuddle with her sweet little grandson yesterday.  Nothing like the feel and smell of a baby!

No word yet from the onc.  I think I'll call her in a couple of hours.  Do you all think she would have called by now if they'd found anything on the CT scan? 

Love and hugs,

Karen

Olivia , Thank you sooo much for keeping us all updated on your lovely Mom. Your such a sweetheart.xxxx Tell your mom , Mel said hi and when she gets home and settled , I'll give her a call. Thanks Olivia

Hi Sue! I'm so excited that you had a good day yesterday. You will start having more and more of those days now. Unfortunately , fatigue will stay around awhile. But nothing like it was on chemo. I hope the bath helps. Your boys are so sweet. They love their mum very much , and they know you need your rest. And most of all , they know you love them.xxxx

Hi gb , hope you and your sister are having a good visit. Sounds like it so far. Is it still rainy there? Hope the sun is shining , but not to terribly hot.xxxx

Hi Karen , did you hear anything yet? Hopefully , you'll hear something soon. Praying for good news. Usually , they do call if they find something. I know some docs offices , don't bother calling if all is fine. But they are suppose to call and let you know either way. If you don't hear soon , give them a call. Know we are all hear waiting with you.xxxx

Hi Auntie Em , I know what you mean about negative people. And I don't mean when someone is depressed or having a bad time because of life. I mean pessimistic people who always see the negative. I steer clear of them! Life is to short to be miserable all the time. Hope you're having a good evening.xxxx

Hi to Ulla , Shirlann , Mia , Cyndy , Hawkwomen , Angie , Lucy-Poppy , Valsul , Karyll , and all my sweet sisters.xxxx

Hi AE , I think Lisa said her doc thought she might come home then. I hope so. Its always a good feeling to get out of there and be home in your own bed or recliner.

I got everything crossed Karen! They better call you back. Wait sucks , and they should know that. OK , keep us posted.xxxx

Karen - keep us posted. 

Lisa - sure hope you make it home today.  Post when you can. 

Well, wish me luck ladies - I go for a 3 month follow up mammo today. I'm a bit worried - last one had some issues.

bbl,

AE

I agree with you, Sue.  I can wait for the results of my scan until the 15th when I meet with my onc.  HOWEVER, my mom, brother, and SIL are very anxious for the results.  I'm following up on it mainly for them. 

Aunty Em, I'll be sending positive thoughts your way.  I just know that your mammo will be clean.  Good luck to you my dear sister!

Love and hugs to everyone,

Karen

I saw the first hour of GMA and taped the second hour. I can't wait to go home and watch it. I work 1/2 mile from the house and I can leave at 7:55 and get to work by 8:00. I liked all that they showed in the first hour, preparing her for the Fashion show. When I left the house she had a wig on and the designer said that her earrings were not approved and she would have to take them off (I think that they were joking).

Sheila

Hi Sue!  I'm glad you watched the GMA clip!  Wasn't it great??  I'll have to go to their website and watch that other clip you spoke of. 

I'm seeing the onc on the 15th probably just to make sure my blood counts are fine and to talk about my next step with her (Tamoxifen).  I imagine I don't start that until after my rads.

Thanks for the nice words regarding my stay-at-home mom status.  You're absolutely right--I'm more exhausted at the end of the day than I ever was when I had a paying job.  Of course, I worked in mental health administration, not a job like yours where you're on your feet all day.  I sat at my desk for the most part.  Not exactly physically challenging. 

Enjoy the rest of your day off!  Love you!!!!!

Hugs,

Karen

I'm very grateful to everyone on this site too, Sue.  Especially you because you started this thread.  It's hard to believe it's been five months--yet I feel like I've known you all FOREVER!  You are all so special to me.

I'm off to fix some lunch for me and Chase.  It's been a very lazy day.  Windy and rainy outside.  A good day to just hang out at home.

I'll be back later.  Have a nice cuppa!

I'm jealous, Sheila.  I'd love a day in the 60's.  Even the clear days here have been cold lately.  I'm ready for spring! 

I just heard from the PA at my onc's office, and my lungs are NORMAL!  Yay!!!!!!!  I knew it would be fine.  My doc is just very cautious.  That's what makes her a good doctor.  I practically have to beg my pcp to send me to a specialist for something.  I wish he were more like my onc.

Hugs,

Karen

We had about half an inch of rain yesterday but we are still in an exceptional drought, close to 15 inches behind in rain since last year. Every Thursday the weather service puts out the new drought indicators and I have not heard if it has changed any from last week. 45-48% of North Carolina is in the exceptional drought area. I wish we would get more rain or snow but we don't need it all at once, it needs to be a slow rain to soak in.

Sheila

Hi Lucy, glad you enjoyed the football. I remember going to see Australia vs France when I was 18 and I embarrassed my boyfriend because I got very involved in the match and was yelling the whole time! (We broke up soon afterwards - he was too worried about what other people thought!)

Sheila - I live in the land of droughts and floods! Most of the time it's drought but when it decides to rain it just buckets down. Several teenagers have been drowned because they have been boogie boarding in storm water channels and a large section of Sydney is having to cover their damaged roofs with tarpaulins to keep the rain out. 

I was so sad to see the dreadful damage from the tornados that hit some US states. It's hard to imagine such destructive fury. It looked like a nuclear attack. Crazy weather everywhere.
