Good morning CG's. Happy first day of Summer
Deb- wow you actually let the Lama get up that close? Brave.....
Lisa...Lama pic....Hahahahah
BTW- do we have any CG's from Ohio? So sad about the missing pregnant mother and her 2 y/o who seems to have witnessed something very horrific! God be with them.
DH and Steven are out of town today so I'll have this evening to myself. Weather today will be about 89 and muggy.... yuck! Well, I need to get ready for work. I'll be commuting to both facilities today...lots of problems, oops...challenges
, to solve. I better get going now cause Miami traffic is not fun.
Have a good day friends. (((((hugs)))))0 -
Good morning CGs!
(((Mena)))
(((Puppy)))
Mena and Puppy, you are in my prayers. I am hoping that a week from now you will both be in a much better place.
(((Gina))), I hope they are able to find some way for you to continue your treatment. You hate to have to miss any treatments, but hopefully your onc will have come up with a strategy for you that works!
I slept much better last night. Went to bed early and slept through the night (well, I got up once to pee, but was able to go right back to sleep). So I am feeling better today.
Still waiting for that position at work that I want! I have to wait for the requisition to be opened and then submit my resume. Seems kinda dumb, since the hiring manager already knows me and knows I want the job. But, I guess we all have to follow the established process in order for it to be fair!
I hope everyone has a nice day!

Vickie: Forget the trumpet - Im yelling Wake Up in your ear at this very moment.
Nicki0 -
Just popping in for a quick good morning and Circle Girl Fix!!
Hope everyone has a good day!
Thinking of all of you with a extra hug going out to Puppy and Mena. Wishing we would here from Joyce..worried about Kevin.
Welcome to Peter!
Deb: When my kids were little we went to the Zoo in Ohio that you drive through and the animals are loose. Can't remember the name.........we are all going there in a couple of weeks with the little ones. Anyhow, I was driving through the zoo and a Llama stuck his cute little head in the window and ATE MY HAIR! My Mom is yelling at me to roll the window up and I'm saying...Can't...this thing has ahold of my HEAD! To Funny....all of the kids still remember it and especially now that we are going back soon, it's on the "hot topic" list!
Off to the Grind........will catch up and talk to all later!
Hugs,
Denise0 -
Morning ladies (and Peter).
Nicki or Shel - my mom had an access port put into her groin for dialysis. Her old ones keep clogging. She's concerned because her current port keeps clogging, making dialysis take longer - apparently they take out the same amount of liquid, it just takes longer. Is this something to worry about?
Betty, good luck with the onc today.
Kristin, hope you hear about that job soon.
Nicki, you gave me my first laugh this morning - I couldn't figure out what the "R" word was - thanks for the clarification.
Shirley, I got to schedule my colonoscopy for July 25 - can't wait.
Morning Vickie, - where are you? - Madison, Denise, Tricia, and Odalys, hope your day goes well.
Margaret0 -
liz - I think is was Caladryl, it was a clear gel - is that it?

take care0 -
Morning CG's and Peter!
Mizsissy thanks for the mena and puppy update and dropping in. Pull up a wagon and stay a while.
Catherine-Great advice to Gina. There has to be something out there that will work for her.
Shirley-I was doing xeloda but am on a break now since I am stable mable. Be sure to tell your sister to keep the lotion on her hands and feet and get some immodium. TMI probably but better safe than sorry on that one. Dosage can be varied so if they start her out on too much they will adjust it down. Research shows when it causes too many side effects it is doing more harm to your body than good. Thinking of her.
Deb-love the llama story. They are the cutest things. I cant believe you didnt bring home any goats to your daughters. What kind of mother are you? lol!
Nicki-I have you know I can name everyone of my animals and never hesitate, lol. I am totally stressed about going to Maine where we should be enjoying ourselves but I am worried about my animals being taken care of. My neice will be staying there but still....
Vickie-wow you really did oversleep. Dont you hate the way you feel when you have to get up running and never slow down. hmm, I think I do it every morning.
Karen-hope the boob stays ok. You have had a tough time with that. Man its hot in Denver also isnt it?
Robin-Sounds like DH sees it coming. Hope the home gym is working out and you arent all tangled up in one big mess.
Z-excellent pictures. Thats a cute boy you have. Psychologist huh? We can keep him plenty busy just around the circle.
Colleen-ivyrest seems to work for me on the poison ivy. He really helps on the itching. Some things suggested to me that I have tried cause I was itching so bad I would have tried anything so here goes. A banana peel layed on the infected area, vinager, baking soda paste and my mom thinks egg whites helps hers. Just a thought and sometimes we get desperate and those are things you normally have. Makes me itch just thinking about it. My son has it now and he is doing the ivyrest thing. Sometimes I think if I look at it, I get it.
Gina-stupid nurse huh? Hopefully the doc will help you today.
Sherndon-got anymore pics of equador? those were great!
Iris-gonna have to send the posse after you if you dont show up.
ok gotta run for a bit but I shall return.
amy0 -
Shirley...bubba is supposed to be our new protector...he's on page 546...be prepared to be shocked LOL.
The R word...shhh...it's Rosie...another thread...another story LOL.0 -
MB we need a picture of the new tattoo and yes they do itch.
Shirley scroll back a bit and you will see the cutest lil pup named Bubba. Can't help you with the R word cause Nicki is trying to drag us all into the cats meow.
Amy0 -
lol...AMy...can't figure out how to get it to the computer...lol...can you scan your chest...lol...really need a camera...and then I have to send it to Vicki cuz, I can't get pictures to load...but FYI it kinds looks like my avatar...but pinkstock is out side the ribbon...he did a nice job...
ok now back to workk I am soooo addicted to all of you0 -
margaret.......... i work on a dialysis floor lol!
sounds like mom has a central line, if so they do clog easily. ask the nurses if they can put some "TPA" through it ...... it'll unclog instantly.
can your mom have an AV fistula created? or is her dialysis only temporary? it is not unusual for hemodialysis to take longer through a line as opposed to a fistula, but it should never take longer than 4 hours each session (canadian standards) .......... hope that helps.0 -
Just checking in quickly! Gotta keep the kids entertained, you know!
Puppy, Mena, Gina -- You are always in my thoughts and prayers. You all have had enough to deal with, and I wish that it would get better for you.
Lini - Good luck with your surgery!
Nicki - I'm tempted to visit threads at random and casually drop in the "R word". I always have been a troublemaker....and it takes A LOT to offend me.
Betty - Thinking of you! Good luck at the onc.
Vickie -- 39 days! Good for you!!!
Deb -- I laughed so hard reading your llama story. I kinda pictured a romance novel-- "He leaned in as if to kiss me, and I became captivated by his liquid brown eyes..." Either my brain is more screwed up than I had originally thought, or I really need to get some action soon!
MB-I'm getting so excited for Pinkstock. I sat here the other day and thought about meeting all of you, and I just burst into tears. I better remember to bring tissues.
Peter- Welcome! You are among a very loving and fiercely loyal group!
Ok, kids are "bored," so I must go! Only 71 days until school starts again...but who's counting?
Love you all!!!
Sue0 -
yes cgs it is me
overdid it this week so had trouble
getting to kb
love jf0 -
Actually Jacob sent a few more pics. I'll try to post them on the picture thread.
Mena and Puppy, I'll say some extra prayers for you when I'm swimming today.
We are leaving early Tues am for our trip to Florida. We are going to paint a bedroom today and need to start working on our yard again. I'm so lazy these days! My dh will be home, so I do more with him around.
Hope to see you all later, son has been letting me on computer more than usual.0 -
Good morning all.I am up and raring to go t his morning.Got lots more house to clean.Karen is so terrified I will get to her room next when I got up at 8 she had already been up and has all her things off her dresser with everything polished and shining.
About half way thru my chemo treatment my onc switched me to abraxene and avastin and it was as different as night n day with the taxol.I had both taxol and taxetere and they just about killed me.
Vickie:I am with you I think he does see it coming and there aint nothing he can do to stop it.He started this mud slide and I am going to stop it.
Peter:Nice to meet you and welcome.You wont find a better place to be this side of Heaven.

Peter, Welcome! Just dive right in!
{{{MENA}}}, {{{PUPPY}}}, {{{NS}}} sending lots of cyberhugs your way.
Sue, all I can say is 5 days until camp starts! I have to take ds for a hair cut. Although his hair looks gorgeous with all the curls, he will be way too hot with it this long. Then off to my dil's with ds in tow so he can go swimming in their pool. He missed out on Father's Day and he likes visiting there too.
Margaret, I think I read that article in the magazine that neither one of us can remember! It is hanging around here too.
Nicki, I think mom's amjor problem is her insulin and sugar levels. She needs to have it all reviewed.
Shirley, Puppy gave Marsha "Bubba" to be the cg's protector. Puppy told me that her sister (or maybe sil?) actually has a Chihuahua that looks just like that! Whoa!
Lini, good luck today! Holding your hand in cyberspace and sending good thoughts and wishes!
I talked to Puppy last night and she said she needs to keep her phone line open so she doesn't miss the doc's calls. I will try keep an eye on what's going on and she promised to call or send an email so we know what's up.
I have not tried calling Joyce's house yet. last time when Kevin was in, Joyce's dh had no clue who was calling. She checked in when they got home from CHOP.
Deb, have fun camping. All those kids? You are one brave lady. But like you said, it will be fun.
Hi Jankay! Have a great day, sweetie!
Karen, crossing our fingers for you and your family too. Give that implant a good talking to and tell it to stay in one place!
Marsha, we are having fun in the WTH thread in Moving Beyond. It is just light current events. And nobody is allowed to say the "R" word. Bring Bubba just in case!
I know missed a lot of you guys but it has been a little hectic here this morning. See you later. Love to all!0 -
OOPS, talked in acronyms up there!
CHOP is Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. I think Kevin went in to University of Pennsylvania this time known as HUP. Chop is a branch of HUP and also has a Ronald McDonald house attached to it. Great facility all around.0
