TIME TO CIRCLE THE WAGONS GIRLS

Hello circle girls,
First of all Tina I am so sorry for your loss. I am happy that you got to be there for him in the end and nothing can take away your memories.
Still keeping little Trenton in my thoughts but like you I am losing hope as each day goes by. It is so sad to think of that little boy.
Chemosabi thanks for making me feel like shit! I do well to get myself up and my son up and get to school and work on time but you get up, exercise, eat breakfast and have time to get on the computer. Thanks for making me feel like the lazy bum. All kidding aside, that is excellent that you are that dedicated to exercise. Maybe it will rub off on me but I am not going to hold my breath.
Lisa in Alpharetta, hang in there. It is chilly here also this morning but so nice. The sky was deep blue and the moon was just above it making the fields foggy. I had dew on my windshield and my 12 year old son announced that it was close enough to frost for him because he couldnt wait until winter.
I always leave so many people out when I start typing. I read the post and think I will remember but then I start typing and go blank. Please just know my thoughts are with everyone struggling right now.
Headed out to make my rounds around the cirlce. I have the foot/hand thing going on with Xeloda today so luckily I am riding my trusty donkey and not walking. Those of you that have dealt with it what did you think was the best lotion? I am up for anything at this point?
Love to all the circle girls! Amy0 -
chemosabi....thanks for the welcoming ryhme....
lunch time here so I'll get the soup on....ham & potatoe today...oyster crackers....
bringing out the rain tarp and getting the fire stoked up to keep away the dampness...looks like rain here for a few days....
I won't be in for afew days ...going to be with mom during her surg...so please remember I will havve you all in my prayers and keep my mom in yours...
Ps NNN try thinking of me excersing in the hospital halls...they look at me pretty funny...so take it where you can...keep up the great work...0 -
*snort snort*...lol....Amy said the "shit" word....ROFL
EDITED TO ADD: I wrote that becauase it reminded me of the mom on the commercial who was making sloppy joes and she asked her kids..."toast or buns" and everytime she said the word buns they snorted and giggled. She finally said "okaaaay...toast is is"0 -
purplemb...keeping you and your mom in my prayers.
Amy saying the SH*T word just cracked me up...thanks for the first laugh of the day!!!0 -
Tina, that is so crummy that you have to hold yourself back when it comes to expressing how much your dad meant to you. You are being so gracious, in honor of your dad, not your stepmom, I'm sure. You will be blessed for this. I'm so sorry your burden is made worse by this women's jealousy.
Kristin, if there is a chocolate fountain in your waiting room count me in!!!!LOL
Amy sorry about the foot/hand thing. Does it itch or hurt or what?
Purplemb, you and your mom in my prayers. And Lisa you too.
Good news, the little baby here in Missouri that was stolen has been found. Sure hope there is good news for Trenton soon. The women who took her had just had a miscarrage. So sad. But mother and baby are doing better. The mother had her throat cut, but evidently not bad. She is still in the hospital. As if having cancer wasn't bad enough, there is all this other crap going on in the world.
Oh well, beautiful fall day here. I have brought plenty of down blankets into the circle. One of my favorite things when the weather gets chilly.
xo

It's like when you have so much to do, you don't know where to start. That's how I feel about the circle this morning.
Tina, I am so sorry. That woman will get what she deserves. You on the other hand, can feel the peace in your memories of you father, he will always be with you. You don't have to have a relationship with her.
Grest news about Baby Abby. I am also worried about Trenton, he has been missing for along time. Maybe that is a good sign, that hde hasn't been found.
As far as Amy saying, that s word, I thought she was fready to start a fight with Nicki. I thought, here we go again. LOL0 -
Hi Ladies,
Just a sweet thought from me to all of you (and to Sherry too if she should happen to peek in).

nawww I am not the fighting type. I can get along with the best and the worse of them no problem. I come to these boards for encouragment and commicating with people that have the same feelings that I do about dealing with breast cancer. I sure dont come for confrontation, there is already enough of that in this world.
As far as the foot/hand thing they are red and hurt, not itchy yet??? Do I have that to look forward to also? Life just gets better and better doesn't it?!? I have lotioned them all day long at work and crossing my fingers that nobody walks up while I am rubbing my feet. Not sure how I would explain that one. They do seem a bit better today but I also wore crocs and maybe my feet like those better.
I also heard on the news about the baby in Missouri and I hate that the mother got injured but it is wonderful that the baby was found. I am still holding out about Trenton but the outcome is not looking so good the longer that it goes on. So many unanswered questions there that may never be answered.
Here's to all the circle girls. I am out to do the late afternoon rounds. I tossed some logs on the fire to get our coals built up and wrapped alot of potatoes to toss on the fire tonight. I have all the toppings for the potato bar consisting of fresh crumbled bacon, sour cream, broccoli and cheese sauce, chives, onions, salt & pepper just to name a few. Shouldn't take long in this fire as long as we keep them rotated. It's going to be a cool night and we can use the leftover potatoes for breakfast in the morning.
o.k. saddling up my trusty donkey that still needs a name. She is dark brown and has light colored hair on the inside of her ears kindof like a good Guinness on tap. Any help with the naming process will be greatly appreciated. I have Molly and Mae and this one needs a name. They are named after an EE Cummings poem so liteary would be nice but not a neccesity. o.K. headed out for my rounds, me and ???. I shall return later to toss the taters on the fire.

Just woke up from napping all day, still don't feel any better. Maybe I'll bring some hot tea & honey to the fire.

i have felt kinda crappy for a few days too.
i was all excited cause fonzie is gone to new york and my dtr is at leadership camp so i have the house to myself for a few days. but all i've done is lie around like a lump all day.
maybe its the change of seasons?0 -
Hi all, back from a day of wrangling databases! LOL
The potatoes sound wonderful, Amy. What a great meal for a chilly day! Although the sun was out all day, the wind was crisp and refreshing. Fall is my favorite time of year!
Had my first onc appointment today. It went well. He was so nice and spent so much time with me. I will be started chemo on Tuesday. 4 cycles of AC (every 3 weeks) then 12 cycles of Taxol+Herceptin (weekly) then Herceptin every three weeks to finish out the year. He also thinks I should do Tamoxifen after that, since as it turns out I am very weakly PR positive (I was told that it was so weak it is considered negative but I guess there are differences of opinion in the onc world).
I feel better to have a plan in place but I was not expecting to start so soon! Now I only have one weekend left before Chemo-Day!
Tgirl, I will have some of that tea with you....maybe it will calm my nerves.
Kristin0 -
Oh back here this evening for a short time. Came home from work and have been on the telephone with them for the last hour. Geez! Things indeed are back to normal as far as work is concerned. It is making me CRAZY!
Amy: I want you to picture this fat Italian momma. She is waving her index finger towards you. Im bending forward slightly and moving my big hips - Saying come to momma. I have a nice bar or Life Boy soap - to wash your mouth out with. LOL!!
I told you all I am a nut case. When I cant fit into my fat lady pants Im in trouble.
And by the way Amy, your allowed to just sit in the middle of the circle and doing nothing - and I me absolutely nothing. Next time, I will only whisper exercise lol.
Anyways, I gotta go, you can tell I talking so fast - but it is already time for dinner. Dinner in the real world lol. Husband made pork chops, home made cole stlaw, and some Broccolit with cheese sauce.
Have a wonderful evening. Ill be back for morning watch.
Love you all.

Amy,
A cooking tip for the taters.
Move the fire aside and use a shoivel to dig a hole in the coals. Put the taters in, cover with coals, put the wood back over (promise, the fire will stay nicely lit) and raost away. Great taters without the burn.
Now that my mouth is watering for taters roasted in a fire, with smores for desert, what could be better.
Jeannette0 -
Kristin, what onc are you going to? Make sure you get copies of all your path tests and reports. I have room next to the fire with the teapot. Come on down and sit a spell. xoxo

Hi Theresa, I am seeing Bapat in Voorhees. He is the director of medical oncology for Fox Chase Virtua.
I have all reports so far but need to get a copy of my reports from last Wednesday's surgery. Have an appointment with surgeon tomorrow for post-surgery follow-up and I will get them then. But, they called earlier today and left a message that I should bring all my films to my appointment tomorrow. I wonder if that means that something fishy showed up on my path report???? Now I am nervous again. Ack! Anyone got some whiskey to put in that tea? LOL!!0 -
I have to go back and catch up on stuff but I know how you all can talk and wanted to get this info in before bedtime. I'm going to Cleveland for the aneurysm! Appt. is Oct. 18th. Got the referral and appt from GP today because my DH went in and told him that I wasn't happy with the surgeon I had! Gotta love that DH!
Sorry to interupt, going to back track and read now.
Love, love, love,
Denise0 -
A chilly day? Crisp? Gad, I'd KILL for cool (*laugh*). Loved those northern fall days.
Good luck with your chemo!
Janet0 -
WhooHOO! Denise!!! CLEVELAND HERE WE COME!!! I am SO HAPPY you are making this change! atta girl!
Cheryl, I hope your back gets better every day! Back problems are the absolute worst.
Boston, I hope you saved me some kitkats. I love my kitkatbars!
Niki? You are up exercising, cooking and posting all in the middle of the night? WOW! You make us night shifters feel like slugs!
Mena I hope things went ok at the school today... how many erasers did they make you bang together???
Theresa? I hope you are feeling better... don't you know that little kids are walking petrie dishes???
Pinky, the change of seasons is getting to me too. If Fonzie is away- how about you hooking up with Potsie?
Kristin, I am so glad you have your plan set... not the battle starts and it really becomes like a routine. Believe it or not, you will feel better now that things are all settled.
PMB, I hope mom continues to improve.
Amy, Oh I am sorry about the Hand/Foot stuff. Ask your onc if you can add L-Lysine. It does help it a bit.
And sweet Lisa,
I WISH I could go with you tomorrow to your appointment!
Imagine us all sitting there with you in our cowboy boots prepared to kick some major butt! OK?
Tina, my heart breaks for you. I had a similar experience with my brother's funeral... I wound up having my own celebration of his life and I felt closer to him than I ever would have in that orchestrated thing that was planned for him... do something, go somewhere that you and your dad shared or treasured, and have your own service... He will be there with you- believe me. He knows who loved him.
There is a chill in the air tonight... our horses are getting their winter coats coming in in patches... they kind of look like we did a couple of months post chemo...eh?
Prayers continue to go out for Jojo who is still awaiting her results...and for Robin and Debby5 and we also want to keep everyone close who is facing another scan, tx, or just needs to be held close for whatever reason!
I made a butternut squash soup tonight so if you want some come by the cook tent. It is made with real heavy cream and there is a bit of brandy in it... so it will keep you warm tonight....
Oh how I love coming to the circle and being a Circle girl.
love,g0 -
Hey Janet! Come on up here! We have that nip in the air tonight!

ralph malph is my last resort lol!
all jokes aside..........my candle remains lit for "everyone" and don't worry, my wagon is flame retardent.0 -
Tina
Have your own service with out her0 -
Lini...you made me laugh out loud with that "chachi" remark...
Kristin aka Swanky...you're going to do just fine. I can feel it in my gut.
Tina...just put one foot in front of the other and when you get close enough, kick her in the a**! I think you've shown a lot of class and restraint, as I've said before. I'd have bitch-slapped her by now, and I'd do whatever I wanted when it came to the floral arrangements...
Robin, Puppy...praying and praying for both of you...
Tgirl...btw, I got my "Martha Stewart" ticket confirmation today...woo hoo...I'll just have to rearrange chemo...no biggie...hahahaha...
Lisa, I'm always thinking about you and praying that you find some peace in all this madness.
I'm so happy they found that infant from Missouri...but still the news of Trenton is truly looking grim...
Everyone, the fire is warm, the comforters are cozy and I'm very sleepy...I'm turning in, but I'll be up at 4:30 to exercise with Nicki...show off hahaha...rest well, all...Mena...xo Oh PS: I got everything I wanted for my daughter at that meeting today! YAY!0 -

it's late and the back hurts so I'm off for tonight
Hug & prayers0 -
Hello dear ladies-
Im about ready to hit the bed, but I wanted to drop in and let you all know Im still praying for everyone in the center of the circle. I hope you all sleep well and awake rested and ready to take on tomorrow.
Im a bit blue tonight. The past week has been a whirlwind of activity. I had a great visit with my Aunt and my kids took a hooky day today to see where I get Rads. We did some shopping and had fun. Now everyone is gone. My kids are back home with dad, all tucked into bed. My Aunt is on a plane flying back to Michigan and Im feeling kind of sad. Im so ready for my life to be about something besides cancer. I know ..soon.
I have had a huge reoccurrence of my lymphodemia. My arm looks like the Pillsbury doughboy. I saw a new PT today who is an expert in lymphodemia. I really like her and hope we will get this under control soon. I go in tomorrow to learn a new wrapping technique for my arm One more series of appointments at least it will keep me too busy to sit around and mope.
Tomorrow is another day!!
Hugs,
Deb C.0 -
(((((Deb)))))
I'm going to bed too, but wanted to send you a hug. Have a good day tomorrow!
