Cheri, I'm glad you called your onc today. Now no stressing over the weekend. Chanting Scar Tissue with you.
I have so much scar tissue in my boob I don't think I'd know a lump if I did feel one.

OK...I need to learn to edit myself better!!!! I got in a snit and posted a one line post and said in effect that I was to tired to deal with things, and I was "out of here"....
By the next time I was on it had been deleted, or I probably would have changed my wording. I belong to 3 different sites that were all having disagreements on the same day. BCO was the 3rd one I had been too in one evening where I wanted to jump into a disagreement that was not any of my business...not that I have a big mouth or anything LOL...so I posted my one line instead of trying to "fix" everything and saying something I would later regret.. I never had any intention of taking my ball and going home. I am sorry that I gave anyone the impression that I was
I did make a decision after that night that I am spending too much time and emotional energy on my On-line life. Yesterday I did "un-enroll" in both of my other sites. I am going to be spending less time on line in the near future. Not because I am mad at anyone, but because I need to spend more time with my family and friends at home.
Most of you that have been here a while have probably figured out that I am a bit of a hot head....I run on my emotions and I wear my heart on my sleeve.... Big surprise huh? LOL. When people are not getting along my first impulse is to wade into the fray, grab everyone by the ear and make them hold hands until they are all friends again like I do with my kids. One memorable day I actually tied my daughter's hands together with a scarf for the whole day until they started to giggle and work together instead of fight.
My frustration is that in the virtual world when I get involved I usually make things worse, not better and then regret it.
I don't know if my post was given more "weight" because it got zapped and folks didn't know what I had really said. I never meant to give anyone the impression that I was going away forever. I just needed to cool off so I didn't make a fool of myself, which somehow I managed with just one deleted line...LOL
I was not going to bring this up, but I felt I had given folks the wrong impression. I am not mad at anyone. I am disappointed when we have or snits and dust-ups. I am sad when folks are not getting along.
On another note, none of you will ever have to guess if I am mad at you. It is not like I am subtle or anything...LOL. If I have a problem with anyone on this site, I promise I will send you a PM so we can work it out.
OK...enough blabbering. Now back to our regularly scheduled day.
Hugs

Morning all, I will be returning to work on Monday which means less time to read and post. But I really need to get back to the normal way of things around here. I have actually paid some bills and answered a few phone calls so now it's figuring out what I can do with doing any lifting for a bit longer. I'm going to make sure these incisions heal properly this time. I still hug my pillow when laying down to help keep the pulling pressure off and I think this will help a lot. Don't think I'll see any grandbabies for at least another week although Leilani turns 1 next weekend so we may go see them if the pass doesn't have snow on it.
Gina I always loved to hear the owl in my trees. it felt comforting to me, knowing he was watching over my yard and me. I missed him when he left us.
Cheri glad you got home safe if was nice talking with you. I had to call my parents cuase they tried to call while I was on with you. Good thing I was recording my shows for Scott. By the time I got off with my folks the second show had already started. they can talk a long time.
time to see what else I can get done around here.

Had no time to post this morning - had a 6 am hair appointment and I was picking up our Starbucks first. Hope everyone has a good day and if I don't catch up with you until later this weekend, make it a good one.

It is nice to see more posts here again. Hope everyone is having a grand day.
Gina and Deb-I once had a white owl fly right in front of me when I live in upstate New York. I swear I thought I was either going to die or be blessed for life. It was a very odd thing to see in the night.
Cheri-Glad to hear your leg is getting so much better. The lump is scar tissue woman.
Margaret-who the heck does hair at 6:00 in the morning?
Well I am off to read some more.

Good evening!
I am going to try to get back on and read and post tonight.........gonna spend some "quality" time sitting on the swing or couch with Hubby. Now don't all of you go and get jealous!!
I had the worst day in along time today.........with my Mom. I can't even explain it right now..............we have been getting along so good for a year or so and today things escalated. I could not stop crying, she blamed me, and even though I know I'm half crazy most days.....................she lost me. Mom has always had a sharp tongue and although she won't admit it, is "always" right. Believe it or not, it all started because I was hurt over something my two 'darling' sisters did................I could ramble for ever. Things were okay when I left, but I feel emotionally drained and extremely let down.
Hope all of you had a nice Friday and are looking forward to the weekend!
I sure hope I get some time on her when the Guy goes to bed! (alone!)
Hugs,
Denise

Brenda, I can remember when I felt shy about posting at this site. That was a long time ago. Not in the circle, it didn't exist then. Wait until you misunderstand and have been misunderstood a few times.. Then it feels more like home. LOL
Cheryl, glad you are doing better. I'm sending you hugs and good wishes.
I remember Raven. I'm so sorry to hear this.
I haven't been on here in a long time I think. I still find it hard to use. But after all it is the mother ship.
hugs to all

Thanks Susan,
Appreciate the pep talk.
Finding it hard to cope right now with the passing of another young mom with two young boys and loving husband. I watched the youtube video of her earlier this afternoon and I just can't shake this deep soul sadness.
Love,
Brenda aka Bren

Good evening ladies. Got involved all afternoon and evening on this darned computer and didn't make it to my regular sites. Just so much interesting stuff to learn about people and things. The web is really an informative place...once a person learns how to use it. LOL
My legs been bothering me today but that's to be expected after such a long trip yesterday and being wooled around in xray and by the dr. As far as that darned lump I found I'm just going to set my mind straight that it's just part of the scar tissue that's shifted around or something. What happens happens. LOL But man oh man, it'd be nice to catch a really big break....that didn't turn out to be another of my bones. hahha
Hey to Marsha, Gina, Amy, Janny, Vickie, Nicki, Gus, Sheri, Shirls, Charlene, Jazz, Susan,Brenda, Iris, CY, Liz, Madison, Margaret, Suz, Tricia, Z, and that's all I can think of off the top of my worn out head.
Wishing you all a restful and peaceful nights sleep. Goodnight.

Good Morning Friends: Its the week-end and I have lots of computer time, so I thought I would check in and say hello to you. Still seems pretty quiet around these parts.
Tracey: My gosh, its just so good to see you. Many of us former chatters are having a hard time about Raven! I appreciate any updates and I am also sending you are great big hug. Sure miss but glad the new job is working out great.
Anyone else thinking about going to this virtual tea party. It does sound like fun to chat with each other for a while.
CY: I sure do understand using vacation time to recover from something. Seems like thats all I have done that last 2 years. I want a fun vacation and I want one now. You are sounding so much better. I get allergic to tape on my chest also. Hoping you have a great week-end
DebC: Sometimes Im like you. I post something in a snit. Thats why Im so glad we can go back and change what we write. I have to always remind myself, that many people are coming here just to read and this is such a wonderful place. We always need to make the new visitors feel welcomed. Guess next time I get upset, Im gonna go for along walk. Im with you - spending way too much time on the computer and not enjoying life enough. Its gonna be a beautiful day here in Chicago and Im gonna go do things. BTW being Italian, I am very superstitious. My mom used to say if you hear cats fighting out your window at night someone is gonna get sick. Actually have lots of old Italian wives tales that scare the begebies out of me.
Slonedeb: I have put you in the middle of the circle. Maybe the spa tent would be nice for you. A little soft music, manicure, pedicure. Nice massage to relax you and lots of candles. Hoping those tests come back with good news.
Neese: I hate to think you were crying yesterday. Come sit by the fire and we will have a few giggles.
Susan: hahahahaha I loved "well after all its the mother ship."
Cheri: If anyone needs a break its you - and not a bone! Hooping this lump turns out to be nothing.
OK - time to walk the dog. I know I have missed many of you. Hoping you have a wonderful day. Go outside and enjoy life. Do something nice just for you. Me? Im gonna go spend the money I hid last week on halloween goodies. Still have colored my hair, but thats only because my lazy butt wont just go do it. Maybe todays the day.
Gina: Your owl is cracking me up. Popping by to say hi?
Love ya sisters.

Quickly skimming by before I go to the gym that I haven't joined yet.
Brenda/BMD, my hairdresser is tired or working late nights so she's switching to early mornings so I was there at 6:00; my sister didn't know I had an appt and she came in for her 6:30 appt. So my hair is colored and cut and I'm at work by 7:45. Works for me. And actually, there was another hairdresser in yesterday morning with a client, also at 6:00.
Denise, I'm so sorry you had to deal with mom issues yesterday. PM me if you want and we can discuss it. I'm so there with you.
Susan, you made me laugh - the confused user.
Cheri, hugs to you. I'm sure the lump is scar tissue.
Didn't address everyone but hope everyone has a great Saturday.
Margaret

BOO! Can I ask you a vet question??
How do you feel about a cat getting gas anesthesia as opposed to injection for a quick grooming? Mr. Fluffy is getting his hair cut on Monday and last time he couldn't come out of the injectible type for a long time, so the vet said he would use gas.
Is this safe???
Slonedeb, you are in the middle of the circle and we are all here for you.
Hi to everyone else!

Just popping in to say hi. Going to read a bit more and then spend the day with my boys. Hope you all have a great Saturday.

Hi Gina - So Mr Fluffy doesn't like his haircuts huh!
Sounds like a typical kitty to me. As for the gas anesthesia it can be very safe and fluffy will wake up quicker and easier then from injectable. With injectable anesthesia the body has to break down and excrete the drug through the kidneys or liver. (Which or both depends on which drug is used.) Because it has to be metabolised in this way it can take a while and the rate can very with individuals and medical states. The body gets rid of gas anesthesia by just breathing it out. As soon as the anesthetic is no longer being given, and respiration is good, the level decreases very rapidly and recovery is very quick. No liver or kidney involvement to slow things down.The gas anesthetics being used by vets these days are as safe as the ones used for people. Actually they are the same gases they give us.
So tell Mr. Fluffy to breathe deep and count back from 100 and before he knows it he'll be beautiful!
Hugs,
Sue

Hi friends. Just dropping by to say hello and wish everyone a good Saturday.

Good Afternoon!
What a beautiful day! 90 in Michigan in October...........what's up with that! No complaints though.........75 year round would be great with me!
Thanks for all the hugs and sweet words about my day yesterday. As in all families, it has been resolved............and I promise I won't say, Nanny, Nanny, Boo, Boo, I won, I won! But I did. Feel bad about it, but crap happens, right?!
I didn't get up until 9:30 this morning...........Maybe I should get upset and cry more often.........must have tired myself out! I never sleep like that. And guess who woke me up...................My Mom!
Cheri: You have scar tissue.........got it? Scar tissue. Happy about your visit to the bone guy in Iowa. Sounds wierd that now that it is healing they are going to open it up............guess that's why I'm not a Doctor! We know the hardware has to come out and you got to get cleaned up! I am really glad it is finally healing!
I did take time last night and read back, but darn if I can remember most of what I read!
Going to go to the store in a bit, I think........gotta get gas if I go out.......don't know if I trust myself with the credit card after last weekend and the dumpster dive!
Hope all are having a great day and I'll see you tonight!
Hugs,
Denise
I see Nicki and Angel on her (sunshine sisters) but no Vickie or Madison......

Boo I love you!

Hi Circle girls,
Long time no post, I am hoping you are all ok, I am not too good with remembering things so I can't post names but not a day goes by that I don't think of all of you.
Nothing new here, I am fine and working full time, same old same old!!
I am going on a wonderful vacation on Nov 10th, going to Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland and France.
I am meeting my cousins and the rest of my family and taking it from there. Hubby is nervous about flying so I am going solo. I am so excited I can barely contain myself.
It has taken me ages to scroll through all the pages I have missed since the new format was implemented,
love you all, Tina
(formerly Tinairene)

Wow Tina it has been a long time, we've missed you. Can I jump in your suitcase?
Gina have you asked about taking L-glutamine? maybe it can help you too. I know it really takes the edge off the neuropthy for me.
Cheri honey it's just scar tissue!
Peter hope you feel better soon.
Neese can you send some of that weather this way? I really hate the rainy season here it lasts so long and this year is looking like it's going to be a cold one.
Found more mold on the south wall of my bedroom! can I get a break I just can't seem to get this house cleaned and clear of all the defects. This house would be better off torn down and rebuilt but I just can't afford that. So I've pulled out the Borax again and left a good layer of it on the wall to kill the mold the best I can for now.
I slept in this morning too! asalmost missed my morning pill time. One more sleep in day then it's back to early mornings!
Didn't get to go on our drive today cause Scott had to work, he had another gal quit. His boss knew we had plans this weekend too! that just erks me but maybe we can still take a drive tomorrow!
Going to go read a bit!

Gina - Glad to ease your nervousness a bit. I don't know about being the coolest people, but we sure do have the best job in the world
. Bringing corn on the cob to roast on the grill with the ribs.Tina - wow that sounds like a great trip!
Cheryl - Hope your feeling good today. How much L-glutamine do you take? I still have neuropathy in my feet 10 months post chemo.
Went to dinner and shopping with a friend tonight. DH and DS are gone camping. After shopping we decided to indulge a bit and stopped at a new resturant that opened for coffee and dessert. Had a chocolate tart that was like heaven on a plate. So I was bad
but it was sooooo good. Sweet dreams to all
Hugs,
Sue

Hey to everyone. It's been a day. Audrey got her two hampsters less than a week ago ... well some time overnight the one killed the other!!! Bit off part of it's head. Audrey saw it! Not the killing but the end result. Sigh.... Another life lesson I guess, just wish it didn't have to happen.
I just got home from my sisters and now my foot keeps cramping up. Man that hurts! I'm going to have to catch up tomorrow.Love&Hugs,
Charlene

Boo the Onc told me to take 10g 3x a day. that's not hard to do if you can use the powder and mix it in a shake or smoothie, but I can't so I have to take the capsules. most capsules come 500mg or 750mg so that means 13 to 20 capsules so I only do it once or twice a day but at least once a day and I ususally only take 10 capsules. I've been filling my own capsules with the powder, a pain but much cheaper that way. L-glutamine is a free form ameno acid that body builders use after exercising so help reduce the breakdown that occurs in the muscles after exercising. I noticed a difference after a few weeks and then if I don't take at least 5g a day.
