Good morning Madison and Vickie. Im laughing right now, cause my life is such a routine. Get up, feed the animals, let the dog out, give them water, make coffee and come to the computer. And of course thinking about going to work! I totally forgot about my appointment this morning. So I guess Im not too worried about it lol.
Lisa: The volunteer dinner sounded wonderful. Glad you and your husband had a good time. There is alot of stuff going on in the hospitals to thank the Volunteers. Think I might put a bunch of pens in my bag and give them out. The hospital volunteers are my friends!
Beth: I beleive that medications can cause a whole bunch of problems with teeth and gums. I know Dilatin can cause hyperplasia of the gums and Fosamax can cause necrosis of the jaw bone. Glad its not a UTI. Even though "Sunrise" is our big comptetition here in Chicago - its a good AL facility and its probably one of the best places for your mom to be. Hoping it was just an incidental fall.
Robin: You can get special "bonding" stuff at your local pharmacy. Works better than glue! And pretty inexpensive too. Im proud of you! I cant believe he expects you to wash his clothing while your getting chemo and dealing with a fractured shoulder. Enough is enough already! Just tell me when he is on the computer and I will take care of him.
Vickie: I think of all the pictures I have seen posted, that penguin on is my absolute favorite. My hydrangenia started blooming about 2 weeks ago but the cold weather killed all the sprouting leaves. I hope it starts to bloom again. It was my favorite perennial that I planted last year.
Cheri and Debc: Yes the Windy City indeed. Dress warm, gonna have 30 mile gusts from off Lake Michigan. Can make things a bit chilly. OH yes - Chicago Style Pizza and Italian Beef. Sounds good to me.
OK! This early morning post is short and sweet. Gotta take a shower and get ready to leave. Man! I have to leave earlier than I do when Im going to work. Unfair I say.
Have a great day.

Hi there!
I have not read far enough back to catch up completely. Just wanted to say hi to you,Nicki, and wish you well today. I will be thinking of you and on the magic carpet w/you. Feel like a Steppenwolf song from the old days as I will be singing along as we ride that roller coaster! We,truly,are in sync as my name(middle) is Angel,too. I saw that abt your sister and it was like we have this connection on this thread. Thanks for thinking of me...you always know how to make me feel special. Love the pics! You have so many friends and just feel the warmth as you are at the appt;will be waiting to hear how it goes.
Vickie...love that Snoopy pic! How do you find them all? I think a barf bag is a great idea for me. Those were the days as my heart would be wild these days. Glad you survived the wild weather woes there. Hope you and Nate are doing well.
Cheri...you are so neat! Thanks for including me and thinking of me last wk. I read back for a few pgs and really do appreciate being thought of during a challenging time. It gets better each day. Hope you,Amber and all the grandkids are OK. I have not caught up yet abt the wreck. How bad was the damage?
Susan...love all those Disney friends. Esp my buddy,Tinkerbell! Always have loved her and Goofy. Hope your therapy is going well and almost finished.
Cy...was reading that abt the onion/fog story. Must have been a real smell in the air as onions are so distinctive. Green fog sounds almost like a movie scene!
Gina...hope that you have a great day. Glad your onc is a kind soul as you so deserve it. Have been thinking of you and wishing you all the best from here. Got my ns button that I have kept close.
Lisa...what beautiful flowers you always post! There was one that looked like irises. I enjoy the California scenes that you share.
Amy...hope everyone is well there and the April weather is more normal. My parents had some snow a few wks back. Hope you are doing well and I had to smile abt the lost post. It happens with me and I am sorry that you lost yours.
Hi,Robin! Hope that your new little one is home by now. Hope you are feeling well today and have a good Thurs.
Bayyore...glad that you posted and that your strawberry patch is coming along. Used to have those in Alabama as a child. Nothing better than fresh ones...
To all the other circle girls....hello and have a great Thursday!

Just popped in really quick to wish Nicki good wishes this morning! Sheri, prayers are with you and your ds too.
Shokk, I don't know what you are talking about? Where on earth could my ds have a talking tendency from? When I was a teen, my mom thought the phone was growing out of my ear! Seriously though, I knew then and now when to shut up. Gotta get it through to him!
Happy Thursday all!0 -
Iris: It is so gosh darn good to see you!

Good Morning Girls,
Just popping in to wish all who have appts today the best. I know Nicki has scan and Madison has US..all will be fine. Because I just know, that's why!
Blessings to all..
Vickie: WOOHOO...one year!! What did you decide on for Celebration?
Amy: Did you get the new ones last night? I love animals and hope you are gonna post pics for us.
Hugs to all,
Denise
p.s. Amy: I was referring to the little goats when I asked if you "got the new ones." Just didn't sound good the way I phrased it!0 -
Sneaking in at work....shh...
Happy Anniversary Vickie!!!!0 -
awww...you gals are the best. Thank you. Haven't figured out a celebration yet. Feel kind of funny about today. It's just an uneasy, happy, sad, strange thought that only a year ago I was at this moment hooked up for my last chemo.
can't explain it but really happy that year is behind me!
Love ya all
(sneakin in at work too LOL)
Vickie0 -
Iris..your back...missed you!
Tinkerbell is doin the happy dance for you.0 -
Happy Anniversary Vickie!
Well the port is in and it hurt a lot. I MEAN A LOT. I have no range of motion in that arm and of course he put it on the left side where I have the bad LE.
He told me my activities would be very restricted while it is in... no gardening, swimming, no nothin!
WTH???
This is really really really starting to all get to me!0 -
Ok ladies...one and all...it's sappy Vickie time.
I want to write and thank each and every one of you for all you've done for me, all you've been to me, all you mean to me. You have been my family, my sisters, my friends, my angels this past year. You have picked me up and dusted me off many times, made me laugh, made me hope, made me believe, been more than I could have ever asked for.
I had many days when I didn't think I could do it one more day and you were all here. Holding me up. I couldn't have done it without you.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you are, for all you mean to me and for all you've done for me.
I love you...each and every one!
Vickie0 -
Gina - interesting as once the soreness went away with mine - I could do anything. Hang in there - mine hurt for a few days also.
Gentle hugs
Liz0 -
OH Gina...mine was terribly sore for about four days after it was put in and I hated it. I wanted it OUT! I had pain up my neck too...BUT...it did get better. I was never really comfortable with it and was happy to have it out but I was really skinny and it just seemed like it was too big. Praying it will get better and I'm pretty sure it will.
Love
Vickie0 -
Good morning ladies. I'm not used to getting up as early as I've had to the past few days and I'm not liking it. I always have the baby on tues/thurs if Amber works so he's here today. His coughing is better and I think he's feeling better. Thanks to all who asked.
Nicki, we'll be there for your tests with you today. Everything is going to go fine.
Iris, so there you are. Don't stay away so long you know we worry.
Liz, good luck at your yucky dr. appt. today.
Vickie, congrats on your anniversary date of last chemo. How do you girls remember all that stuff? I know I ended chemo sometime in the month of July 06 but don't know the date. I guess I just stuck my head in the sand or live in denial or something. Anyway, Vicks, celebrate your day with something wild and thrilling! Or just have cake.
Jankay, hope you do well at therapy today.
Gina, my goodness, what kind of port did you get that you can't do anything with? Mine was terrible going in, too, but it doesn't hinder my activities. I've still got it and hate to part with it cos I have lousy veins, it has came in handy for other things besides chemo.
Hey to Madison, Margaret, Robin, Shokk, Denise, and CY. Also, to everyone else that haven't posted yet.
I think my stomach flu is finally subsiding. Whew. I started to think there really might be something wrong with me. Sooo glad there wasn't, too tired to deal with any extra. I'm feeling a little on the grumpy side this morning. I haven't had enough sleep this week for one thing. I don't get grouchy very often, glad the boys are at school and Ambers at work. I just have the baby but I can't be grouchy with him...unless he kicks me in the chest again on purpose when I'm changing him, or hits me with that metal toy truck he keeps shaking at me in a threatening manner. Then grandma might get a little irritable with him. Otherwise, we'll do alright. Janny, I know what you're talking about with your grandkids. Mine are spoiled too. Ethan's not a brat, though. This little one is. I told Amber if she didn't do something with him nobody was ever going to like him. He's not got a friendly personality to start with.
You all have a nice day.

Good morning sweet ladies.I am off to chemo.Boy I am to the point to where I dread it more each week.I am going to have a long talk with Mark today.
For those of you who remember Jan and her finger episode last winter? Well her hand looks wonderful i could not believe it.Although they took the finger off completley it is done in such a way that she looks like she still has 4 fingers on that hand.I thought about that last night after I went to bed and thought I would give an update.
I woke up at 4am coughing my head off,I have had a terrible head cold for 2 weeks now so i got up and slurped some niguil and finally went back to sleep around 6 am.I gotta start getting up earlier but I dont want to see THE EVIL's face anymore.
Well talk to all you later on this evening,got laundry waiting on me when I get home.I gave the house a lick and a promise yesterday and called it clean.
Hugs to all of you0 -

my thursday fun pages....
Today!
Ouside my window a new day I see.
And only I can determine what kind of day it will be.
It can be busy and sunny, laughing and gay,
Or boring and cold unhappy and grey.
My own state of mind is the determining key,
For I am only the person I let myself be.
I can be thoughtful and do all I can to help.
Or be selfish and think just of myself.
I can enjoy what i do and make it seem fun,
Or gripe and complain and make it hard on someone.
I can be patient with those who may not understand.
Or belittle and hurt them as much as I can. But I have faith in myself and believe what I say. And I personally intend to make the best of this day.....

The reading of a will is a dead giveaway.
What you sieze is what you get.
When chemists die we barium.
When two egosists meet , It's a I for an I.
Alot if money is tainted. It taint yours and it taint mine.
Once you've seen one shopping centre, you've seen a mall.
Every calander's day are numbered!!!!
hahahahah i know how sick........
