    Good Morning Everyone!  Back to the work week for me - which interferes with my computer time!  Brought the Magic Carpet along because it looks like there are some that will need us today.

    DebC:  My heart sank a little as I was hoping you were going to say the double vision was better.  I even looked it up - but couldnt figure out a cause.  The eye stuff is a bit too techinical for me.   What time is the MRI?  You know we will be with you.  If your nose tickles - thats Shokk.  If you feel your feet tickling?  I do believe that will be Mazer giving the bottom of you foot a good ol lick.  I praying so hard for you and hoping for NED.  Sending a big hug to you.

    Wendy:  Welcome, welcome!  As you can see I got up pretty early so we could make sure to be with you today.  Surgery is pretty scary, but know that we will all be standing in the operating room with you and watching over you.  Sending a very big hug your way.

    Cherryl:  High there friend.  So glad to see a post from you.  As I read through this thread, each post touched in a way it had not before.  So many friendships.  It was amazing to see the support we gave to each other.  I think we should have you lead the prayers as I do believe you have a closer seat than the rest of us lol.

    Shokk:  As you go back and read through the whole thread, it explains why we feel so much love for each other. The circle is a place where everyone is welcome.  Thats how it started and it will never change.  I know I still need all of you - my day would not be the same without my friends here.

    Purplecircle:  Always nice to see a new person come along.  Welcome, welcome.  You will find this is a very supportive and loving place.  I love your name BTW!

    Jankay:  Good Morning Sunshine sister.

    SoCal:  I learned one thing.  You have always been our flower sister.  Every rose I saw made me smile.  I do believe you are the flower child of the wagon circle.

    Neese: So good to hear from you.  I do believe, I do believe.  There is no doubt that CY was with you at Pinkstock.  As I read each post from page one I felt like CY was sitting with me.  Motivating me to keep on going.  I saw the picture of the rainbow and it still gives me goose bumps things about it.  She always did love this thread, and I feel somehow she took charge of the entire week-end.  So glad you had a great time.

    Iris:  I think someone else said it, but Im going to say it too. Welcome home!  Talk about having a kind word for everyone - ummm I think that would be you.  I read all your posts, you were here from the beginning - and you always made others smile and comforted.  No dontyou stay away too long!

    Bren:  Im putting you in charge of making enough cinnamon rolls for Mazer to steal.  We have 2 big trips today and of course we dont want Mazer getting into any trouble.  Gotta keep her occupied!

    Well its time for me to go to work.  I learned a very important thing as I was reading this thread.  It doesnt matter who starts a thread - its the people who are drawn here to comfort and love each other.  Together we are strong and its that strength that gives so many others hope. 

    Have a wonderful day.  Its off to the showers for me.

    Wendy, you should be going into surgery shortly and we'll be with you. 

    Nicki, it was nice to see the old memories.  Saw lots of old friends I haven't seen in a long time, and am glad to see people coming back.

    Wagons HOO!!  I'm back from Pinkstock.  What a trip!  I laughed, cried, drank, ate like a pig,got lots of goodies,  tie-dyed tshirts, saw a concert, got hot & got cold, and most importantly met a bunch of wonderful people and got to witness a very special rainbow. 

    It was a long journey but one I will never forget!!!

    Got to get to the chores,

    Brain scan is all CLEAR!

    We still don't know why I am seeing double, but we will sort that out.  I am just SO thankful for the good news.

    Thanks for all the advice, support and prayers.  It means a lot to me.

    Hey All,

    finally had a chance to read through posts and write a response...............YEAH DebC. I have been keeping you in my prayer center and SO glad the scan was NED! Now just a good opthamologist check up to figure out that double stuff.

    Nicki, my friend. You are a wonderful lady. thank you for that beautiful trip down memory lane. Even saw my Matt speed skating in there (stay off the sidewalks now, he just got his learners license!!!) Oh, I had to write when I saw those pics. And I printed off the 7 dwarfs of menopause and the girls at work loved it!

    Wendy, I hope and pray your surgery went well. In the center for you. These ladies are the best.

    Where are the photos from Pinkstock 08 being put? I can't seem to find that thread.

    I have updated my avatar. It is a pic of myself and my puppy, Chimo, in a Canola field. My husband took the photo.

    My news was good...NED on the mammo. I am having other health issues, but not sure what is causing them. Off to the docs tomorrow to see what she thinks. I don't think they're anything major (that's what I keep telling myself).

    Have been working lots and looking forward to some vacation.

    Now that I 've got my computer up and running again, I will tryto visit more regularly.

    God Bless you all from A-Z.

    Lynn - the photos from Pink Stock are in the Get Togethers forum -  there are two threads with photos -  Pinkstock 2008 (has some towards the end of the posts) and PinkStock 2008 Pics (or something similar).

    The photos are great!!!

    Deb C -  HURRAY!!  I just KNEW you would get good news!!  I am still praying that they can find out why you are having such annoying se's.  From what the others have said, it could be from the chemo...

    Nicki - thinking of you and your scan today.  Please let us know your GOOD results too, as soon as you get them!!

    Wendy, praying for you, that your surgery went well.  We were all gathered round you, during your surgery...  I know you could feel us there!!    As soon as you feel up to it, please post an update...  HUGS!!!

    Love you all!!

    Good Morning Everyone.  Woke up late - so this is another quick pop in.  Really not liking that work is interfering with my computer time.

    DebC:  Im doing a happy dance in the sun for you this morning.  I am so happy as I know you were so worried and scared.  Eye problems from the chemo. That makes sense.  I was wondering if you cover one eye, does the double vision go away?  This is the best news I have heard this morning and I am so happy for you.  Looks like the power of Pinkstock came through!

    Neese:  I heard you screaming for joy over the tornado sirens we were having here last night.

    Sheri:  Good to see you.  I didnt call for the results. I cant explain it, but I just couldnt dial the number.  I figured if it was abnormal I would have gotten a call from the doctor.  I do plan on calling today though!

    Madison:  So good to see you.  Yep, I grabbed your hand right away and squeezed really hard when I heard DebC's results.  Its going to be a wonderful day.

    Lynn:  So good to see you.  I have to tell you that picture of your son speed skating is one of my all time favorites.  Good news on the mammogram.  Hoping your appointment with the doctor goes well.  Hate not feeling good and not knowing the cause.

    Doreen:  Good to see you.  Im going to the Pinkstock thread next.  The pictures that I have seen so far are just awesome.

    Harley:  Hey there, good to see you.  Thanks for the support and good thoughts.  I cant explain it, but once I found out my ankle was broken it sort of explained to me why I have been falling.  Hopefully by time I get home, I will have the results and they will be NED!  I still have August 13th on my mind and Im getting the magic carpet ready for you.

    Margo:  So good to see a post from you.  Yes we are seeing alot of old and new friends and Im loving it.  You asked me a question about the difference between BRCA1 and BRCA2.  I didnt answer because I dont have much computer time and to be honest didnt and still dont know the answer.  I always thought that BRCA1 was a big heredity thing.  Not that BRCA2 isnt.  If I remember right "askinashi" (spelling) jewish people are at high risk for BRCA1.  Im going to have to do some homework.  I was wondering, are they sending your test to be studied at Mayo Clinic?  Both my sister and I tested for the same postive gene and we are being studied there.  Ha - figures I would have something that needs to be studied.

    Shokk: Not only did I see you waving to me this morning, I just gave you a high 5!

    Cherryl:  What in the world?  Who called you a chopped liver exorcist or something?  I just cant believe that.  You are one of the sweetest persons I know.  You minister to the sick in one of the biggest teaching hospitals in the Chicagoland area.  A place where so many go to when they have failed treatment elsewhere.  You are a twinkling star filled with so much hope for so many.  I just reached through the computer and gave you a big hug.  I still trying to figure out how you got computer time last night.  This weather was something.  I was sitting in the bathroom with my animals and DH while the tornado sirens were blasting.  Even the television stopped all programing and said take cover immediately!  Geesh this Chicago weather is something.

    If I am remembering things right, Wendy said she would be back around Friday!  Hoping all went well with her surgery.

    Havent heard from slonedeb - that concerns me but she is safely tucked in the middle of the circle.  And Dawn (Zaro) is too.  OK Im 10 minutes past me hitting the showers.  Love all of you.  Couldnt mention everyones names - but I love ya.

    Have a wonderful day filled with sunshine.  (Tornados are not allowed)

    Just quickly checking in.  Deb, that is awesome, awesome news. 

    Prayers for all who need it. 

    Shokk, everything ok with your weather?  Nicki, thanks for checking for me, I haven't been able to figure out the difference either but I haven't had time to research it yet.  Oh, Raiders and 49ers game Friday night - want to know what it will be like at my house?

    Time to go.  Have a good day.

    Nicki,

    I spent a lot of time on the steps leading down to the basement last night. We had about 45 minutes of intense storms then things calmed down.

    Shokk thinks I'm chasing her with a bottle of holy liberal water to drive out those conservative demons and she is avoiding me. She's afraid she might end up doing door to door canvassing for Obama. That poor girl llives in fear of me!!!!!!!

    Sloandeb, I'm sorry to hear about our friend. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

    You are right, I am sure that you were falling because you broke your ankle.  I'm sure that your scans will show NED.

    I was pretty scared about needing this biopsy, but now I am thinking that my feeling of pelvic pressure and pain, and backache and bladder issues and other se's I'm having are connected to this uterine fibroid I have, and because I am taking that darn Tamoxifen, I believe it is growing and pressing in all sorts of places, making me uncomfortable.  Thanks for the prayers, they really work!!

    SloanDeb,

    I'm sending BIG HUGS your way!!!

    Please help. I am old to the fight, fairly new to the site and new to this thread. I have tests coming up, and while I am nervous, as always, I am also very sad these days.  This is one of those times that I really feel alone.    I am not much of an outdoors girl.
