    Good Morning Everyone! Well after today - Im on vacation. Yipee. Not going anywhere special, just gonna enjoy 10 days of not having to go to work.

    Well its looks like we all have one thing in common. Very happy that its Friday lol.

    Liz: Rain rain go away, come again another day. I had that brief experience with flooding the other day. Rained 5 inches in one hour - but, its stopped and the flooding went away pretty quickly. Night sweats ugh! I was given an unusal prescription for night sweats and to help me sleep. A small dose of Seroquel. Well besides it being expensive, its an antipsychotic so I weaned myself off of it. The last 2 nights I have been up every hour and the sweat was just pouring off of me.

    Vickie: I am so afraid of wasps and bees. I have heard you must get the stinger out, otherwise the the venom keeps going into the skin, long after the bee is gone. What a simple solution - using a credit card to get rid of the stinger. Im glad nate is ok.

    Beth: The phone is cute, trying to picture you carrying it around with you during your driving.

    Denise: Have fun this week-end. Sure am gonna miss you though. Hey - at least you dont have to drive through Chicago lol.

    Anne: Getting my post out meant closure for me.

    Tgirl: I was truelly amazed at how little pain I had after my port removal.

    Sue: You are not a pathetic loser. Although, some days I feel the same way.

    Susan: good to see you pop in and say hello.

    Sherloc: I love Frankie too.

    DebC: Glad you went to the fitter and hoping the new style bra wont cause irritation.

    CY: My dear friend. Im sorry you feeling tearful. You have been through so much - and your strength has been amazing. So shed a tear here and there. Hoping your feeling better this morning.

    Suz: Ive been to summerfest and the irish fest at Milwaukee. A pretty simple drive from here. This week we are having "Taste of Chicago" but I wont be going to it. Way too crowded, and cant afford a limo. There is no way I would drive downtwon to Navy Pier.

    Tricia: Glad the meeting went well. Hope you got to have some relaxation time while being in Key West.

    MargaretB: Me at boot camp? Oh ahahahahahaha. Im the biggest whimp around. Guess I will stick with my walking and swimming.

    Charlene: Your such a sweetie. My husband and I will be celebrating our 29th anniversary on August 26th. So Im gonna plan on partying with you and Sherloc.

    Have a great day.

    Morning all,

    It's bone scan day. Not looking forward. I know it's no biggie, but I'm just tired of driving to the hospital for another test. I have my iPod ready and my Circle Girl tunes are first on the playlist.

    No coffee, etc for me which means I didn't take my fossilmax either. I'll have a cup of coffee in me before I hit the hospital parking lot later. LOL

    Better get ready. I have to be there at 7:30. Hope the carpet is fired up.

    Hugs to Amy to Z.

    Betty

    Good Morning Sunshine sisters and brother. Hoping you all have a grand day.

    Peter - your gonna be stuck with me. Im not going anywhere on my days off. Just working in my garden and swimming in the pool. Might go to the Zoo and out to dinner though. So Im gonna have alot more computer time while being off work.

    Betty: I got to tell ya. I aksed for my bone scan and I was so scared it was gonna show something. Did have hot spots but thank goodness it was just two healing broken ribs. Good luck with your test today.

    OK - gotta go - have a bright and sunny day.

    Wow, it's morning already! We got home late and I started reading posts, page after page, and all of a sudden there's Peter and Vickie saying it's friday. Where did my time go? I have sat here all night, not that it's really unusual for me, but I normally notice the time.

    I wanted you all to know that I'm overwhelmed at all the well-wishes from everyone about my dr. appt. Thank you all so much. So many of you mentioned me in your posts. It is wonderful to feel so cared about. I am truly a board addict. My dh commented that I couldn't wait to get in the front door to get on here.

    I still have a cast but it's a walking cast. He said I could start bearing light weight on my foot. No camboot yet, maybe next time. No infection. He said one of the screws in my ankle had moved and it was just below the skin and it would have to come out after I'd healed. My dh told him I'd always had a screw loose! lol I do hate to have another surgery to have it removed but he said it wouldn't be a big deal and not to worry. I had both my legs up on the table and when they cut the cast off there was one little skinny stick leg covered with Long black hair and then this huge pinkish looking tree trunk of a leg. lol They looked like they belonged to different people. My 'good' leg was muscled up plus it was really swelled. It had no hair...and I hadn't shaved it since surgery cos there was no hair growing which is a sign of poor circulation. So they sent me up to have a doppler done and there's no blood clot, thankfully. But the skin is warm and when touched it leaves a white spot where fingers had been. So then they checked my BP. Oh my. It was 169/107. Much too high! They told me to start taking my meds again. duh. I would guess that's why I've felt so rotten the past week or so. I just took it again a few min. ago and it's down to 142/80. I took a BP pill as soon as we got home. My next appt. is Aug 2. Hopefully I'll lose the cast and move on to a camboot but we'll see. All in all, except for having a screw loose, and still having a cast, the trip was successful.

    Peter, nice pics of your homeland.

    Shel, you should post more often. lol

    LisaE, tell us what you really think. Come on, don't be shy. Go ahead and just get it off your chest you'll feel better. lol

    Jankay, very funny mustard joke and I hadn't heard that one. I'm going to borrow it and pass it to my sister if you don't mind.

    Laura, Congrats on the new grandson.

    Charlene, what beautiful little girls you have. Just seems like yesterday my little girl was the size of your small one and now she's 24 w/2 boys. BTW, did you say you shared a birthday with Richard Simmons?

    Janny, I just hated that pic of me in my avatar but I'll find something else to post. Don't know what yet. Am I hard to find with just a name? I'm so flattered. Didn't know you cared. hahahaha (yes i did)

    Iris, you get an A in posting. You're very thorough. I enjoy our IM's.

    Nicki, hope your dry weather dance worked. Ahem.

    Anne, glad getting your port out went smoothly for you. I'm dreading the day mine has to be removed. It was a huge ordeal putting it in. They're gonna have to knock me out. I'm skeered. It's my security, too. Don't understand why.

    Gus & Marsha, hope you all are feeling better today.

    Mena, guess I missed your post. I'm sure you must've had one. Gosh, I do hope you're feeling better lately. We used to have such silly fun.

    Gina, you're not going to have pain today. Ignore the warning. You're going to feel wonderful.

    Vickie, are you packed for Paris? Didn't I read where you have some sort of trip planned this week-end? I hope you played nice while I wasn't here to keep an eye on you. lol

    Amy, hmm. I think you're on vacation so I won't post to you. How bout I toast to you instead!

    Liz, I don't know if I told you but I meant to, very nice car. I'm proud for you.

    Well, I'm over my little snit I was in the other day. Actually, I don't think it would qualify as a snit. Much bigger. I've been letting things that normally wouldn't bother me get to me as of late. Don't really know why. Probably frustration. But looking back on the pettiness that ticked me off I laugh at myself for letting it get to me. I love this site. It has saved me. I've made what I hope will be life long friends. I used to go all over these boards into all the forums and post. Then I stayed mostly in the Circle for quite awhile. Recently I ventured back out. I do think things have changed since I was out there before. Alot of tension going on. We are all amazing women with a variety of ideas and opinions. I think there's been some kind of twisted enjoyment out of the tension. I love twisted enjoyment.

    Wishing all of you from Amy to Z a safe & pleasant day.

    Your Pal,
    Cheri

    Good Morning!

    Just scanned over the posts....trying to find the whiney imposter who posted last night using my name! LOL

    Sorry about that my friends.........and I do mean friends, which is no doubt why I threw the hissy last night.

    Nicki: You have a wonderful, well deserved vacation!
    Cheri: Oh, just saw your post! Yippee.........except for the long black hair, sounds like you did great!! Glad all went well for you, and it's only going to get better from here on!
    Peter: My type of Brother! Nope, you're not scared of us crazies! Glad you feel welcomed here.

    I'm going with the "A to Z" rule today and saying that I'm thinking of all of you and a special thought for those going through tests and procedures and exploding boobs!

    I'm gonna get my 'assie' in the shower and get ready to venture to Indiana.
    Nicki: Don't be so sure that I won't be coming through Chicago...........there is a split in the road, one says Chicago and the other is the right one.........for some reason, that is the split that I've missed before!

    Going to have board withdrawl this weekend, but wishing you all a safe and happy one. Try to be good and stay safe..Don't do anything I wouldn't do..and make your mommy's proud! Gee, see what my "adult" kids have to still listen to when I go anywhere!

    Hugs,
    Denise

    Peter, that post brought tears to my eyes. It was beautiful and inspiring. Thank you!

    Just a quick drop in this morning, guys, I have to run off to the gynecologist....just a routine exam. Haven't gone in two years since I just couldn't bring myself to go to another doctor appointment this time last year.

    BBL!

    Good morning all. Everyone seems so awake and I'm feeling like this tired kitty!

    Shirley, I tend to stay up way too late. Audrey is a night owl and until the kids are all tucked in and I spend time with my SO it's already late. Then I get on these boards and three hours fly by like one! lol Yea, Nicki is going to party with us on our birthdays!

    Nicki, 29 years, that's incredible! I made it 17 years with my ex (5 living with, 12 married). We get along well, both of us have Audrey's best interest at heart. Only 4 years now with my SO. Sounds like such a short time but between having a baby, blending families (he has an 11 year old son who is with us part time) and getting bc a lot has happened in that time! He's my rock and I'm very lucky to have him! Enjoy your vacation time!

    Jankay - I'm so happy to see you feeling better. Love your funnies!

    Peter - such a nice thing to say! And the poem is very touching.

    Betty - thinking of you today and wishing the best.

    Cheri - glad to see your trip was successful! hahaha .. no, I said Gene! LOL I missed your sense of humor and love your perspective on things. Twisted enjoyment .. priceless!

    Well I'm starting to wake up some but I still don't feel close to like the dancing bear in Nicki's post!

    Happy Friday everybody from Amy to Z!

    Good morning from Amy to Z...........

    Well today is 6 months from the day of my mastectomy surgery. I remember thinking to myself "In 6 months all this will be over". LOL guess maybe that is causing me to be sad. Thanks to everyone for the hugs, and also the kick in the pants on occasion HAHA

    Going to the new Comedy Club here in town tomorrow with my best friends Chip and Mary. Then Sunday going to meet Sheri and Sue/Boo in Orlando. Daquiris by the pool with a couple of CG's sounds like a great pick me up! I talked to Sheri the other night, she is having circle withdrawal pains. haha NOW I have to keep the secret of her afghan??? Man after a couple of drinks no telling what might come out of my mouth. Sheri wants someone to do cliff notes Sunday morning so I can print them out and take it to her. HAHAHA

    Haven't been posting but HAVE been reading. BBL to catch up with everyone!! LOVE, Marsha
