    Sue, I can feel the love radiating our of my laptop! I love you! I love you all! In many ways, we talk on a deeper level here. I meet new people but tend to talk about surface stuff and most of my old friends and even my sister can't to relate to the whole bootface thing. You are so important to me - all of you!

    Sue, these cravings are sure to pass - when you are finished with your treatments and your body chemistry is restored and your emotions return to a more level state. You have had surgery, treatments and don't get enough sleep. Lack of sleep alone increases cortisol levels and makes you hungry (that's my excuse!!) so no wonder you have cravings.

    I should write everyone's details in a log book in case my computer gives up the ghost. I have a "Please Help" file on my desk top.

    Sue - it's after midnight there! Those rotten steroids - they have you really buzzing don't they. Will you get any sleep tonight? When do you go back to work - surely not tomorrow!

    Sue, I rarely mention bootface to other people as it tends to make them uncomfortable. Sometimes someone will ask me what is wrong with my arm (due to the compression sleeve) and sometimes I just say "I have a wonky arm". Then, if they want to know more, I just tell them that I have had a couple of lymph nodes removed and that has caused the problem. Then, if they want more details, I will mention bootface. They tend to look a bit blank then and change the subject..!

    Hope you can relax soon Sue. Take another pill. Am so glad you don't have to work until Friday - but even that is too soon. At least you will get Sunday off.

    Good night dear one

    Sue - you best be in bed.

    Jane - there are few people in my "real" world that understand any of this the way you all do. They just don't "get" it.   I always say until you go thru it, you'll never know what its like. In allot of ways I can't sit here and say I know what most of you ladies have gone thru - I still have both my boobs!!  Although one looks like someone came along with an ice cream scoop and scoped out half of it and the other has been biopsied to death!!  I'm just so happy I found all of you!!

    I know Sue, Tender is moving on.  I often wonder when, if at all, it will happen to any of us here.  I thought about leaving several times, but I still think I need to be here for some reason - to give support as well as get it. 

    Well ladies, off to bed I go - long day tomorrow - thanks again for your kind words - I'll TTYS.

    AE

    I left for awhile to go to my appt and then had a nice dinner with my mom....and look what happens!!!! You all got CHATTY!!!!! Im still trying to read the posts from this evening but had to stop and post myself...

    Sue-the picture of the red shoes??? I have a real picture of them....my daughter is a fanatic about Dorothy's red shoes so when I went to Washington DC a couple of years ago I searched the Smithsonians until I found them, they are on display in the American History building there....I will find the picture and post it for you if you would like.....

    ok, back to reading....I just got excited and had to tell you about the shoes....I saw the real thing!!! I was within touching distance to them, but couldnt touch them because they are encased in glass....

    Im sure I will be back to post more as I read......Im so happy I finally stopped lurking here and decided to join all of you on the Yellow Brick Road .....see ya soon

    Tender left?! WTF!? Gosh , I feel like someone just told me theres no Santa Claus. What an empty , pit of the stomach feeling this has left me with. I am so selfish. I don't understand and I don't want her to go. I am crying. This is sooo depressing for me. I'm so tired of goodbyes.

    Goodnight ladies.

    NancyD-you can only have one of those firemen if you promise to send one of them to me!!!! they are hotties for sure....

    I saw some names here while reading tonight that I havent met yet but want to say hello to all of you and that Im sorry to hear that some of you are having rough times.....

    Oh and Mel-you thought I forgot didnt ya Wink.......I just wanted you to know that "due to the pressure that someone here placed on me" I called this evening to let Libby know she is about to get an entire new family when she moves home in a few weeksCool...

    And I want all you ladies here to remember who the pressure lady was when Im here whinning that I stepped in something NOT SO NICE in middle of the night!!!!!! (just kiddin Mel Smile), but I did inform her that she is in for alot of spoiling...

    Im going to try to read a little more tonight then I need to try to get some shut eye...I will be working at the hatchery for the day tomorrow so wont be able to read until the evening......

    You girls play nice while Im gone for the day and be sure to keep and eye on Valerie and Bill for me during his treatment tomorrow......

    I hope you were able to sleep Sue. My goodness - steroids must be so strong - to withstand all those other drugs! Damn it - I want you to get some sleep so you won't be so tired to start work. I'm sending you hugs and sleepy vibes.

    Oh yes - Jule - I love the name Libby - Libby the Lab! How cute! I am jealous too! I wanna puppy! Or a dog would be just fine...

    My brain is still zinging. I went to my night class - lively discussions and so much fun. It's nearly midnight and I must be tired but I don't feel it. Getting up in the morning won't be fun and I have to take my car to the mechanic for a service first thing.

    Good night/good morning everyone. I will try to wind down now.

    Love,

    Jane xxx

    Great news Sue on your disability! and the Handicap badge as well!!! My dad had hip replacement 2 yrs ago and still walks with a cane and cannot get the handicap sticker, but my mom-in-law has knee problems (when she wants to) and has a handicap sticker.

    You have to remember that my hubby weighs in about 400 lbs and is 6ft 4in tall. He is trying to lose weight but driving the truck and picking up meals whenever he can (no set schedule) makes it hard.
