OK, things seem better now. Mom is home, demanded until she got her own way even though she threw up again after lunch. Now she had to go back out to the hospital every day for PT/INR testing until her coumadin dose is re-established. The road she lives on is very bumpy and it was really painful for her on the drive home. I talked to her partner (Mom was sleeping) and told him that visiting nurses can do the blood testing thing so she doesn't have to drive an hour into town and an hour home again for a 1 minute test. I hope she'll do that, but she can be stubborn, so we'll have to wait and see.
Did some research, found a doc that has his own endoscopy suite, a free standing one, going to see if he sees patients before the procedure. If he does I'll let the office make a referral, if not that's the end of the road. I cannot beleive I'm working so hard on something I don't even want to do! Jeez!.

Happy that your Mom is home, sure hope she has the in home nurse come to her versus her traveling. I sure know how every bump in the road hurts the body just after surgery, I could the bump of man hole covers and they even hurt.

Sign me up for the "how 'bout drinking?" community!
I have recently been diagnosed with DCIS and I found it hard to light a cig and pour a drink initially.
It was good for me really past 3 weeks or so I have been hitting gym "in training" for surgery and treatment. I have cut back smoking considerable and it helped that I have not been having my drink at end of the work day.
Today I poured a big glass of wine to celebrate results of MRI screening that turned up 3 suspicious areas and just got results of 3 biopies all neg for cancer so good to know I'm dealing with DCIS in left breast only.
I've been beating myself up my drinking and smoking and my recent diagnosis but while I want to use the diagnosis to make some positive changes (smoking, diet, exercise) i don't want to give up my wine/beer vise.
Thank you all for being "out here" and honest about your vises, your diagnosis and your feelings about it.
All the best, mrkffr11

Hi girls, Mama Ruth doing better today. Turns out nausea was from pain meds, not anesthesia. Mom is a retired nurse, so knows to ask for what she needs. This time she had a spinal/epidural instead of general anesthesia and that helped a lot. However, the meds were something new and did not sit well. So they switched meds and she feels better, although a bit "loopy". May come home friday although I am guessing Saturday. Any Pinterest fans? Couldn't resist sharing this picture! I am addicted.

Welcome MRFF - gotta shorten it...we give each other new names all the time round here. Good luck on your tests and gettin healthy!
Kristy - Lub da pic. What is Pinterest n e way? Glad to hear about your mom. ya kno my kinda mom figure, Pat...had da knee replacement on Tues too. She also had a epidural. I think I like that and I too think it helped alot. Will keep ya both in my prayers tho.
My DH home, safe and sound. We had our dindin, now he's playin his game on the other puter. I'm an 'ol shoe n waiting fer my furbabies to run outta gas...then I'm takin em to bed. N jes as I say that, they are whining at me to take em. LOL
Stella - don let Dorkable hab too much when she woikin...ewes in charge. Wese can do dis up right tamary!!

Hi girls,not much time but wanted to check in. To answer all questions the arm is fine from wrenching it when I almost fell the other day and the fish survived,lol. As for V-Day there is so much going on we didn't get gifts or celebrate much. We're trying to sell our place and even packing(being optimistic) in advance. Then we had no hot water for 5 days(thermo couple(?)broke) so 2 people not being able to bathe properly didn't make it very romantic. DH said for V-Day how bout we give each other the gift of bathing? And we finally got hot water back on the 14th,never so grateful for that. Goldie-i'm not taking my trip because my request for the Nor-Cal doc was denied so now i'm interviewing So-Cal docs. The So-Cal docs seem less booked up so could have surgery soon. Of course things would go smoother if the PS here didn't cancel my appt for the 29th. I was so excited now I have to wait,ugh! Ok have to run out w/DH for wine/beer and who knows what else. Everyone not feeling well I hope you get back on your feet soon. CHEERS!

welcome mrkffr...this is a great place to be if you have to be here!!!!
Allison...won't be seeing any beaches....sat by the pool today and will do again tomorrow....the weather is hot and pretty outside...will swim some tomorrow....would love to go to beach but dad can't manuver (sp) on the sand...
long day today.....slept on both flights but only about 2 hours at best each one....so why am I still up so late!!!! Its been a good day....seeing Mom has relieved a lot of stress....I think I have a good handle in my mind of what she needs....and think Dad is okay at home for now...his memory is not good and neither is his attention span.....
My DIL is sick tonight....he's had an abscessed tooth and is waiting to get it worked on...been on antibiotics...well he came home from work tonight....high fever, chills, shakes and chest hurt....called dr....went to ER about 6 hours ago and still waiting on test results...chest xray, labs etc....they want to rule out pneumonia.....DD said they won't know anything for atleast another hour.....when they were leaving for ER, told her to take snacks as they hadn't eaten dinner....good thing she listens to her mother!!!! I think his Dad was going over to the ER a while ago...DD was pleased as she said it would add some humor!!!! Worried about SIL, but I know he will be okay....but stubborn boy should not have waited on abscessed tooth!!!!
I'm going to get in bed shortly....tired...and sinuses are making my eyes feel even more tired.....
Aweet dreams....

Welcome Merf: This is for you
A woman was trying hard to get the catsup to come out of the bottle. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her four-year-old daughter to answer the phone. "It's the minister, Mommy," the child said to her mother. Then she added, "Mommy can't come to the phone right now. She's hitting the bottle."

NM, hope Mom is okay and praying this doctor is what you are looking for. You know we will all be in Maine with you when you get dis testing done. Husked and Mema glad good news for your ladies too!
Bernie, Calva is so adorable! Thanks for the laughs!
DorKy, glad you got the big bucks raise and got the working from home straight, dats great. Found out they are moving 20% of our staff from Philly to Wilmington, DE. I live 6 blocks from the office in Philly, if they move me, it's going to be time for a new job, cant imagine commuting again.
Mrs_Vino, hey girl, glad you came up with MerF, I was going to go for MF which wouldn't be to nice. Anyways, welcome MerF! My heart goes out to ya, we have all been there. Feel free to drink here, virtually and really, whenever! Come back and pick out a bar stool!
Kathy, hope you are feeling okay and getting through the liquid diet crapola!
Beans, where izzzzz you?
Well, gotta go get through Frieday so I can go out for beers after woik! How's about a BOTD, on tap at my local bar, Avery Maharajah IPA, from Colorado. American Imperial Pale Ale, 10.3% alcohol, lovely!
Oops if I missed anyone, cant page back, luv to all youse! Scuby.0 -
Good morning, Loungettes! Got up to a foggy, gray morning. And now I have a cold. Not a bad one, mind you, just a bit of a cough. First one in two or three years, so I'm not really complaining.
Wahine--Mom slept like a log after she got back home, as of last evening when I talked with her partner. She was still sleeping then, which is a good thing. He'll take good care of her, if she'll let him. We'll see about this new doc, if it doesn't work out, end of the road for that stuff. Not going to keep working hard for something I don't even want. Rather not know anyway.
Mema--stubborn is a good description for my Mom. I managed to inherit a big dose of that from her and from my Dad, can you imagine what things were like in my home growing up??? Her partner is going to try to convince her to have visiting nurses come in, he does have some influence. And since I get up on my soapbox often enough here, I ought to listen to anyone else who does, too! I'm just so tired of being treated like a part on an assembly line, and not willing to put up with it anymore. And since standing up for myself means I have to be rude to people and embarrass my mother, then I'll just have to find someone else to take me to my appointments when I need a driver from now on. Oh, Lordy, now I'm getting up on the soap box!
AdorKable--Heard me in NJ? Oh, boy, didn't realize I could rant THAT good! But, I feel better now. Stella was right behind me during my rant, whispering suggestions and reminders in my ear whenever I began to run out of steam or forgot where I was. She's a gweat helpy with the Rantin!!! I need to buy her a dwinky or three!
Mrkffr11--Welcome to the HTL! Lots of drinking going on, both virtual and real--OK, most of it is virtual, but no hangovers, no bad side effects (some funny ones, though!) and lots of attention from the Tattie Tenders. Many of us share the attitude of not giving up living our lives because of bc. For many of us here that means continuing to have a drink or two on occasion. The diagnosis can be a motivator to make changes in your lifestyle, but don't buy in to the myth that what we ate, drank, did or didn't do CAUSED the bc or will bring it back after treatment. Pouring a glass of vino, big or otherwise, to celebrate good biopsy reports is normal, human, natural and necessary to stay sane in the crazy bc world. Or any world for that matter. We still have lives to live, and we need to be able to LIVE them, not just EXIST in them. Stop beating yourself up, take yourself where you are and decide where you want to go, make a plan and work the plan. This is a very stressful time, and even as a nurse I tell people that this is not the time to try to quit smoking. All the stress surrounding the diagnosis and treatment added to the stresses of stopping an addictive drug is a set up for failure. If you can cut down, GREAT, that will help with anesthesia and healing. If you can't cut down now, IT'S OK. None of us are Wonder Woman. OK, now I'm getting off the soapbox. Again!.gif)
Mema--Car, car, whose got the car? Sound like a new game! And I've often wondered who "THEY" are, too. I'd like to have a word or two with "THEM"
Tidy--Life is just so crazy, we should be expecting these ups and downs, but they always seem to surprise me. Ah, well, such is life, and I will survive all this, too. Got a whole weekend of work where I won't have time to think of any of it starting this evening!
DorKy--I wonder if it would help if I had a 'Stella' like you. Wonder what her name would be? Sadie, maybe? I missed the Girl Scout cookie drive this year, YEAY! I cannot resist thin mints and shortbread cookies.
Husker--I found Pinterest a while ago, it is so much fun! Glad Mama Ruth is feeling better, I'd take loopy over nauseated any day of the week! Good thing she knows what to ask for.
Mema--Pinterest is a site where you can set up bulletin boards and "pin" pictures you find on the internet. I use it to collect funny or touching pics and sayings, ideas for my garden and for sewing, and whatever else I can think of that I want to keep. It's fun! You can browse other's boards by topic and such. Addicting as a game!
Undy--Yikes on the arm! I must have missed that when I skimmed through earlier this week. Glad is just wrenched and not worse. Love the V-day gift of bathing! It can be so hard to be without hot water. Don't you love the way docs just up and change appointments, usually at the last minute? Like we have no lives of our own, don't have to make any arrangements to get to appointments and such. Yeesh. See you again soon!
Mrs. Vino--perfect shortcut name, Merf is! You are so good at that!
Karen--Hope the SIL feels better soon! I take it he's not a fan of dentists? Hopefully they can fill him up with a dose of IV antibiotics and send him home, and he can get in to see the dentist PDQ. Sleep well!
Bernie--LOL!
Juliet--I'll dwink an extra one for your full moon night! Know EXACTLY what that means!
Scuby--I expect Mom will do much better at home where she can be in control of EVERYTHING. She does NOT like not being in control. She makes me look like a wimp in the control freak department. She won't take as much pain medication as she should or could, she'll complain about the pain and the restrictions, and get lots of sympathy from her friends. IF the testing works out I am depending on the UFO showing up in Maine! But time will tell.

Alli, glad MrBig fixed you up, minus the mint! Always glad to see your pretty face. Have you ditched your hats yet?
BAD BAD GIRL NM.....you said the "S" word. Ummmm, MrBig? Spanking ober here pa-leeze! On the other hand, glad that your mom is doing well. Do you not like the staff at that hospital? Is that why you just nod at them? Also glad you were able to figure out the computer. LMAO at your comments to Mema about her needle experience. I knew that one would have you cringing! OH GOSH, just got to your rant. I do hope you were able to calm down NM. I'm so.....well you know, the "S" word, that you have to deal with all this. Oh good, you found a new doc.
Kathy, certainly, I will share my cranberry and honey. Maybe MrsV will give you her mint? Well, glad you are at least losing some weight on this deal. But you must be starving, you poor dear! Glad you are feeling better. LOL, YES, I DID use the baster. I was desperate. But haven't had to use it again, we got some snow and I think that has helped. That is a terrible story about that 7 yo!
Tied, I sure hope your onc has some answers for you and your getting so sick.
Darling picture of Calva, Bernie.
Mema, we glads yooze iz feeling bettuh too hon. But you lost me on the DS au-natural and DS no tiny, almostus 9 #s. I got the 9 pounds! Funny story about you and DH and dinner....too cute.
Mrkffr11, welcome to the lounge. Drink away girl.
Kristy, glad to hear the goot news on ur mum.
Shan, sorry you can't take your trip as planned, bummer. But getting YOU bixed up needs to come first. Good luck on the doc hunt.
Sorry bout ur SIL Karen, and glad you seem to have a handle on things with your folks. Enjoy the nice weather and the pewl!
Juliet, you MUST be hitting the sauce if you are seeing a full moon!
Oh Scoobz, I hope they don't move you from your job. When will you know? Tanks for da beer. Enjoy your 3 day weekend. Anyone else off for 3 days?

I just nodded at the staff so I wouldn't say anything rude or otherwise embarassing to my Mom.

LOL girlfirends, you are all so much fun! Agree with everything NM and Lori and Scuby said, so I will say "Ditto"! Too much to try to repeat everything, but I luvs you all. Glad the moms seem to be getting better, hope today will be a good day for both of them! And Karen, glad you are with your folks right now, I wrote to you on the other thread.
Is it unusual that my dr STILL has not done my report from my Friday procedure??? They didn't return my calls again yesterday, so today I had DH call them at 8 ayem....and he got the nurse. Well, I do not have an infection, so didn't need the antib's after all, but they said to go ahead and finish them....arrrrgggghhhhh. And after this clear liq, I still have to start the full liq (no, not likker though) diet on Sunday. Wish I knew the exact findings, but who knows when he will dictate that. Is this normal, NM? Another reason I am concerned, is that when I have my next endoscope, I will be going to Europe a wk later, and sure would like the results B4 then! But glad I had this done now, so I can hopefully be healed by then....would not want to miss out on all that food and good wine! DH is getting ready to go to Tunica, oh how I wish I could go...tomorrow they will have gigantic shrimp and other goodies, then the nice banquet dinner Sun, plus ALL the other good food, and good drinks!!! It will be a long time till I can go back there, since I won't go while my parents are here. Don't want to leave them alone here.
Love your soapbox rants, NM....really! You are very justified in what you say, and it always makes sense. I still have my fingers crossed that the new dr will work out and you can make an appt to meet him!!!
Ohhhhh that beer sounds good Scuby, and soooooo strong! Cyberly, I'll have one in a big frosted mug, Pants! OH, and puleez make me one of NM's Welcome to MerF dwinks! And, a big welcome to you MerF, don't be a stranger, come on back and pull up a barstool. If you stay here long enuf you can even have a customized bar stool, jest fer you!!!!
Hugssssss, and Happy Fried Dey!

Good luck with the So-Cal Docs and hope you n DH had fun last night :-).
Karen - Wow, say seing mom relieved some stress only to be replaced with all the other family sickies. You have a full plate goil...hope you can find some R&R time on or off the beach!
Bernie - Lub da yoke....I been accused of ‘hittin da bottle' too...but it was a lie...weely!
NM - glad mom slept like a dog..uh..log. Love the ‘control freak' post...I'm with ya there...also inherited same trait and get ‘checked' about it from my family/friends from time to time...but otherwise....I RULE!!! teehee.
Nice and sooo true, what you say to Merf. You're a very special person and we are so lucky to have you around...get it? Good Luck with this last try for da scope. Oh, n I did find the Pinterest site...I save all my stuff on flicker but keep it private. Mese afraid of letting jes n e one see my stuff unless I post it. N I don't need another addiction...lol, hard enuf to keep up with all my Breasties!
WaWa- me bad...I kno I didn't play catch-up when I was so down...so I missed something. I don't kno what you had done on Friday? And I don't think it's right to wait this long for a report response. I'da been nutz and rude rude rude (I can do that if they don't come at me with needles. And why finish the antibiotics if ya don't need em? I don't like that idea. Wish you could go to Tunica with your DH and have some shrimpies and play ‘Lady Luck'. How long is a long time til you can go?
Goldie - I means I'm not a whimp about pain. I have a high tolerance, jes a needle phobe. Au-natural means I gave birth to my son w/out ANY type of medication. Not even through the 10 hours of labor. I jes squatted and spit all 9pounds of him out. j/k about the spit part...lol.
Well goils...gotta go...been using heat on my knee, then some leg lifts and bends, then ice on it. Swelling still there, but it feels a bit better. Have company coming in Sunday, gotta get the spare room n bath spiffied up. EBER ONE have a GR8 DAY!

I prolly won't get to go to Tunica for at least a couple of months, hoping my parents will stay 2-3 months at least. And since I will be gone 10 days taking my DD to Europe (Mar 23, can't wait!), I hate being away from them any more than that. DH will be here though when I am gone, so can help them.Oh pwease be careful and not overdo by trying to get ready for your company. You gotta take care of dat knee foist....dats most important!!!!
ChEARS!

Wahine--NO, that is NOT NORMAL. Start calling every 15 minutes until the doc dictates the results or calls you directy with a verbarl report. Tell them you will not tolerate waiting through the weekend. To drive your point home ask who the on call doc is this weekend and how to get in touch with him and let them know you will be calling the on call doc several times a day (this is putting peer pressure on the doc who is being slow),. Call the facility where you had the procedure done and ask them to have someone else read the pathology and get back to you today. File a complaint if you have to. You have waited far to long for a known result just becuase the doc hasn't dictated. This is unacceptable practice and you do not have to put up with it. Sic dorky's peeps on him, too!
Finishing hte antibiotics is usual practice, it prevents any other bacteria that are in your system from developing resistance from "sub clinical" exposure to the antibiotic.

Kathy....I agree with everything that NM says....it is unexcuseable to not have the results for you.....Good luck and I hope you get what you deserve today.....And I say go with DH to Tunica!!!!
Mema....no surf or sand for me....the pool is the closest to the water...Dad can't navigate on the sand with his scooter or his walker....and its already close to 11:30.....too much for Mom to deal with....
A new day, and a new story with Mom......slight change of tune...so stressed again......
DD spent all night at ER with SIL....she came home this morning to sleep with no Dx...last couple texts that I got from her (though I was sleeping)....were....doc is puzzled, did a nose swab and doing blood culture...next text "pancrea numbers r a little elevated" (that was at 1:45 am...then at 8:09 DD texted....just got home, SIL is still at ER...no news....and she was going to shower and go to bed....poor thing was up all night....and poor SIL, stick sick and no Dx, so no plan of action.....Just got a text....saying...they think its the flu and going to move him to a room....DD is getting dressed and going back to the hospital...they will know more at 2 (still another 2 1/2 hours).....dont' know if he got a flu shot or not.....BBL......

Karen, Sending prayers for your SIL....this is getting scary. Hope and pray they will find the exact dx soon, and can take care of the problem!
NM, I know....it really sux though as we HAVE been calling most days, and they just don't get back to us. Since he left the other practice and just started his own, not sure if anyone is "on call"? DH wanted to call the dr at home, but I said that wouldn't help as he wouldn't have the results with him at home. Arrrrrggggghhhhhhh. When I picked up the picture at the surgery center on Tues (Fri was procedure) they were suprised he had not dictated yet, but he has just started using them. I think its a case of them not set up right yet and so everything is a mess, and I am getting caught up in that mess. HE did say I am "ok", but we would like to know if ulcers (like he said last Fri), then the size, amt, etc. I think I have to be patient now, as repeat calling did not help at all, and he seems to be a very good doctor other than the paperwork. I hate it, but feel like now I just might as well wait. Thanks for all the concern though! I really appreciate it.
Update: Thanks to NM, I called the surgery center and she said that was just his 2nd wk using their facility and he is there only on Fridays, so he SHOULD dictate today, although they won't get it in their system till prolly Mon am. So I can be patient and wait till then. She explained how different ea facility is, and procedures to do, etc., and made me feel better about it. SO instead of calling the dr ofc Mon and getting the run-around, I will just call the facility....at least THEY answer their phone, and talk to me! BUT thanks again!!!!

Wahine--I thnk just waiting is a mistake, but I've said my peice and you need to do what YOU decide to do.
Another episode in the Mom saga--got a call from her partner this morning, she's in a lot of pain, he's having trouble changing the dressing, neither is up to taking her out one hour each way for a fingerpoke blood test. So they called me asking me to get home health set up. So I've been busy figuring out the surgeon's first name, finding the office number, etc, etc. Now waiting for the office to call Mom and confirm she wants visiting nurses and get permission to send info, the office is supposed to call me back, hopefull they'll call when it's all set up., I called my agency, spoke to my surpervisor and did the trying to pull strings thing to get her admitted today. Current situation is lots of admits comeing in, several people out sick. Gonna be an interesting weekend, me thinks!
AARRGGHHH!!!!! Someone bring me a dwinky! A BIG dwinky!!!!!

NM, Here is a BIG dwinky, actually a pitcher full, jest for you! Thanks again for your advice, and I just updated my last post (didn't see your last post till after I updated mine). Darn it, I hope you can get your mom set up, thank God you have some "pull". Good luck with that. OK after you get your mom taken care of, my prescription for you is to relax the rest of the day! You have been such help to all of us, now it is time for NM, or a DME day!!!!!
Oh, and Karen, I can't go to Tunica as I won't be able to eat or dwink (other than clear non-alcohol liquids!), so it would be awful, as that is what I enjoy doing there....would hate to be around all that yummy free food and not have any of it. I will send him money to gamble for me, then when he gets home Monday he can tell me how I lost it. LOL.
Sorry gals to have hijacked the thread, I know its a dwinking thread, and I need to have my hands slapped......"Oh Pants.........". Yeah, Pants, just like that! LOL *wink*
DWINKS for EBBERY1.......bring a ladder, the dwinks are on the house!
