I WANT MY MOJO BACK!

I just went out and bought two graduating sized, soft rubber (gel-like) tools to use to stretch things out. That's my main problem now - I seem to have shrunk!

TIME TO CIRCLE THE WAGONS GIRLS

Haven't tried any in awhile. I tried one during my A/C and it tasted AWFUL (as did just about everything else). So I have a mental block when it comes to beers. Guess it's time to push that block outta the way!!

how about drinking?

I'd LIKE to join the drinking crew but so I seem to have a throat issue. Wine and 'ritas (my two favorites) burn the back of my throat going down.

Oncologist looked at it and saw nothing. I'm getting yet another chest xray to rule out lung problems (also have this weird cough). He also thought it might be dur to acid reflux (have indigestion problems from chemo).

So - I'm up to suggestions of things to try!! I thought maybe some of the frozen drinks might go down ok - Frozen 'ritas, Pina Colada, Mia Tia. Any other ideas?? I've got all weekend to try stuff!!

Worst Thing Someone Said To You?

Quote:

I think the worst I experienced was a woman in Wal-Mart who kept staring at me and finally ask me where my breast was, I told her it was to heavy to carry around two at my age and had it in my pocket,

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Tere - that is the BEST comeback I've ever heard!!

Just for fun...What is everyone reading??

I am having alot of trouble concentrating enough to read at home. Since I'm still working full time by the time I get home I can't focus enough.

But, when I do have a moment of true brain stability

I pick up my copy of The Third Way by Chris Bach. It's a dog training book that I got at dog camp. Got to meet the author and chat with her - very enlightening!

how about drinking?

Ladies - you are making me want to drink. Now. But alas - I am at work and must remain sober. I'll have to comfort myself with the knowledge that there's a bottle of Merlot waiting for me at home!!

Dark soya sauce healthier than red wine...

The nerve, soya sauce better then red wine??? They have to re-do that test. Tell me it isn't so.

I still think I'd prefer my glass of Echo Domani Merlot to a glass of soya sauce!!

Shooting

I had originally asked this in the Moving Beyond forum but said I would follow-up here.

I saw my Physical Therpist today and asked her about shooting with my right (SNB) arm. She said NO. She was going to check with another collegue but her gut reaction was NO. She said any trauma (and my gun kicks like a mule) could cause Lymphedema.

So I'll be waiting for my port to come out (left chest) and then learning how to shoot left handed. In the mean time I can practice with my pistols left handed. Should be interesting!

Looking for REEEEALY big sports bras

44 EEE sized ones to be exact. I'd like to wear something other than my medieval underwire torture device to bed at night but I can't find anyplace that sells sports bras big enough for me.

Worst Thing Someone Said To You?

I guess I have a weird sense of humor - I think the office pool is funny!

But I'd rather have people laugh about my cancer than be afraid of it (or me).

Not sure why I have such a dopey smile in the After picture - just one of those days!
