Shirley,

I am so glad that you don't need root canals!  We don't have dental insurance.  DH lost his when he retired.  He had the option of purchasing a plan through Delta dental, but he opted out, since it's so expensive.  Now he has found out that it is a really good plan, so he may go back and beg them to take us. 

On the topic of health insurance, here's a news article about the National Health Plan...  If they start that, I think it will be a BIG mistake!  Looks like if we get that, the premiums will go UP even more, to the point where we won't be able to afford health insurance!  JMHO

Ok ... it's just the link...

Annie,

My dh says it's because I'm on the computer so much!  I have given up the heavy handbags, since I always stuff them, and that was when I noticed some neck and shoulder pain.    I think this time, the neck pain started when I got up from laying on the bed suddenly, and I had this SHARP pain!  OUCH!  Anyway, it has been like a real sharp pain, in the back of my head!  It was on the left side at first, but then it moved to the right.  It seems better today, but I don't want to aggravate things.  I've been putting a heating pad (ok, a water bottle) on it at night, and that seems to help some.

Carol,

Have a great vacation!

Rita,

I'll try to get back to you later...  Those questions are HARD!  Oh, and I'm not very smart!!

 HUGS

I'm giving the job search a break, since it seems that there really aren't any jobs available...  I think that maybe I need to have a friend in high places, who can make sure I get hired.  I'm depressed about all this.

Oh, and my neck is really hurting lately.  Don't know if it's the Tamoxifen or what, but the NSAIDS that I am taking to help with the pain are NOT helping...  I can't help but worry about...  well, you know, the possibility that it could be....   I can't even type it.

Bye... since dh thinks the neck pain is because I'm always on the computer, I may have to go MIA for awhile....  I don't think it's caused by my constant computer use....

Harley

Sue,

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, and praying that all your scans will turn out CLEAR! 

You are right... the worry NEVER goes away!  I'm worrying still, and it's been over a year since my chemo ended.  I've been having this terrible neck pain, and I'm scared to go back to the dr. to get it checked out!  I know, I'm a real chicken!!

Miss S.

I'd LOVE to have all ya'll visit!  My dh would be happy to cook for us!  That's why I keep him around, you know.  He may wear sweat pants, and procrastinate about doing house maintenance work, but he cooks!!, and he sometimes does the laundry, and he helps to get the house cleaned up in a hurry, if we are expecting company!!

Isabella,

It is good that we can occasionally take our pets meds.... LOL  I NEVER thought of that!!

Wish,

I heard that if someone flunks out of VETERINARIAN school, they become a HUMAN doctor!  Isn't that really pitiful??  We should be able to go to the drs., and just say 'woof' or 'meow', and the doc should KNOW right away what's wrong!!

Wish, you MOPPED the floor, after your endo. bx??  Are you nuts, woman?!!  After my D & C, I just laid around, watching TV, and took Hydrocodone for the pain!  I look for excuses NOT to do housework!! 

After my bilateral mast., my MIL came and cleaned once a week.  After about 3 weeks, I asked my surgeon when I could resume 'normal' activities, like vacuuming and that kind of stuff.  I explained that my MIL was coming over once a week to vacuum and clean, and he said "So, how's that working out for you?"  He agreed not to say anything.  It was our secret! 

Shirley,

Yes, my dh wears sweat pants around the house, but at least he WILL change before we go out, and I am grateful for that!

Rita,

It makes perfect sense to me that you don't want to celebrate your 2 year anniversary until you get your mammo and your surgeon appts. over with, and then you can really celebrate!  Lurking in the back of my mind is always the worry about upcoming tests.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!  Take care.

Harley

OH, guys... guess what?  Tomorrow, I have to take two friends, Liz and her boyfriend, Bob, to the hospital for THEIR colonoscopies!  They have NEVER EVER had a colonoscopy.  Why would a dr. set up BOTH tests for the SAME day??  How stupid!  Now NO ONE can drive, and that is why I was elected to drive them.  I'm not thrilled about it, but maybe I will make them buy me lunch from Burger King!!
