Hey Cherryl. I'm recovering slowly but surely. Two big events back to back kind of tired me out. My daughter's baby shower (still waiting for the pics, so I can post them), and then Pinkstock. Both very enjoyable events. Having my ooph on the 13th so am trying to rest up and get organized for that.
Thank you for that lovely prayer. From our lips to God's ear.

We just got home from Pinkstock after driving over 2800 miles. This was a very long trip but well worth it. We are tired but happy and glad to be back home safe. The dogs were so happy to see us they kept doing circles around us. I just love my two canine daughters.
Got on the boards and read about Deb C and Amy. Crap, crap, crap. Once again I am reminded happiness is in the moment because everything can change in an instant.
Good night everyone. I need to take a shower and go to bed. I'll make sure to say a prayer for our sisters in need.

I'm back!!!!! I don't want to write very long but DH brought up the computer to the hospital for me. I started to read the past threads and the tears flowed. The nurse was bringing in my pain meds and asked what was wrong. I told her nothing was wrong but that I felt so very loved and prayed for by so many sisters. I was so calm Monday morning while waiting and that was very unusual. That was because of you, my sisters. I went into the OR at 7:20 am and came out at 5:50 pm. Long day. When DH and sister went into recovery to see me, I was sitting up laughing and making jokes! Again, not something I have ever done. Yesterday, I was up walking 6 times and today 8 times. They took the foley out yesterday and I have been on a regular diet since yesteday AM. The only explanation I can give for my wonderful progress is the incredible power of love and prayer. PS is thrilled and is going to let me shower tomorrow. Still will probably go home on Fri but it looks like she will pull the breast drain since very little is coming out. The thigh drain is really cranking it out, but it's because of all the walking I'm doing.
Well, I just got some pain meds so I'm going to close. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayers, good thoughts and hugs that I have received. It means more than most people would ever know, but you sisters would because some of you have been there. I wish I could give everyone a big hug, but you will just have to imagine it. I'll write again tomorrow. May everyone have a peaceful sleepfilled night and wake refreshed in the morning. God bless you all, my sisters.
In His Hands,
Wendy

All,
I have not posted here before but have read through and love the support that you give everyone. I am up with chemo insomnia (of course) and reading through all the threads. So many are struggling and I am feeling so lucky to have a positive attitude (most days) and hope right now. I thought I would offer to add my support to those in the center. I'm sure there will be days that I need to be there, but today is a strong day so I will hold out my arms and share it.

Good Morning. It still dark outside and as I walked the perimeter everything is quite. Most evreyone is sleeping. When I first woke up I heard the sound of the crickets. Had to close my eyes and just listen for a moment. If one listens closely you can hear them whispering to you.
Cherryl: Thank you for the definition. Guess Im the northern maggie. And thank you for the prayer. I too say amen.
Sheri: Its good to see you. I know your busy as school is just around the corner now.
Blue: You really did have to big events back to back. The baby shower and Pinkstock. Your heart must be with such love. The 13th is just around the corner - know that we will be with you.
Shokk and Bren: Thanks for the hugs and prayers. So many are in need of support right now.
Odalys: So glad you are home and safe. This has been a week filled with such wonderful and sad emotions. I know you will cherish those Pinkstock moments.
Wendy: Im so glad you checked in and that things are going well. Sounds like your recovery is going good and hoping you will be able to go home tomorrow. Always nicer to be at home sweet home.
Tracy: Welcome aboard. The wagon circle is a wonderful place. We truelly do care about each other. Lots of support - and yes, when times are not rough like now, we have lots of laughter too.
The crickets are still singing their song. Havent heard the birds yet. But its time for me to get ready for work. We have many in the circle this morning. DebC, Slonedeb, Dawn, Amy, and all the other women who are going through rough times. Hugs to you.

So glad to hear from you!! I'm also very happy to see that your surgery went well, and you are recovering from it well, and are in good spirits!!
Tracy,Welcome! This is a wonderful group of women, and I feel honored to be a part of this group!
Nicki,
Hi... Thanks for all the support!!
Well, I better get going. I promised my MIL that I would go to Wal-Mart with her and I think it will be good to get out of the house, and think about other things, besides this biopsy I have coming up.
Thanks for the prayers!

Good morning Wagon Circle ladies..............well feeling a bit better today..............for the newbies welcome..........I was dx on 6-30-06...........triple negative..........for you guys that are just starting this journey I wish I could tell you it gets easier as time goes on............I beginning to realize that it is never going to be easy but you do learn to live with it because you really just don't have a choice...........my days of feeling confused and tired and the why me's are further and further apart but yesterday was one of those days............so with that being said I am ready today to pick myself up by my bootstraps and move forward..........Wendy so glad everything went well...........and the great feeling you are experiencing is probably the morphine drip
.......((((Mensa)))) jeez girl you sure were a hit at Pinkstock.......I'm sure am glad you are on "our side"....ha.........Harley I have followed your post on the bitchin thread.........I'm a lurker there but it sure is a great thread.............Nickster is very fond of you and so many other's there..........Bren next year if I have a new car I am going to drive and pick up Jan(Wild) and you and we are going to Pinkstock.........if you need to bring the dogs it's fine by me..............we will be like Thelma and Louise and Louise.........some might say we are more like the Three Stooges but we all know what they can do...........

Shokk, Girls, you always put a smile on my face. Actually, sometimes a belly laugh which gets my poor pooch looking at me like I'm nuts (she thinks I'm half way there anyways.......hehehehe).
I was so happy to be able to attend Pinkstock. I met very sweet ladies in person and that made the 2 hour wait at the border worthwhile. I couldn't believe the work done to make this event happen. There were goodies for all. I'm hoping more will attend next year because me and my Ray of sunshine will be there again.
Cherryl, keep sprinkling that holy water.......it comes in handy some days.
Thank you NIcki, feeling much better today. So glad your ankle is OK.
Deb, praying hard for you.

Shokk, you're such a pal. Hey, no need to thank me for the "Obama for President" sign going on your front lawn. Hope you and the neighbors enjoy it.
Cherryl

Jeez thanks Cherryl....you are just too kind..........my conservative neighbors are probably at Walmart right now buying extra eggs...........too bad I don't live in a more "progressive tree hugging neighborhood" that if they were going to throw eggs at my house at least they would be organic from Whole Foods carried home in their little cloth bags..........ha............Shokk

Hi everyone, glad to see some new people to get to know. Wendy, glad things went well. Shokk and Cherryl, I think we are going to have to put you two in a room and let you duke it out. Wouldn't that be fun?
Blue, I am so glad you were able to go to Pinkstock. I really wanted to be there. I hope next year my school committments won't interfere.

Good afternoon ladies. Believe it or not, I got off at 2:00 today! I am visiting with Baby Julie (only she is sleeping right now), and just wanted to pop in and say hello. The insurance co. has promised an answer to my appeal for a breast MRI by the 25th of this month. By the time I have it or my next mammo it will be almost a year instead of my usual six months and I get a sick feeling every time I think of it.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, but especially those in the center of the circle. Hugs and butterflies heading your way! Pammy

Pammy will you be sure and smell baby Julie's head for me and then give her a big ole kiss from her Grandmaw's favorite bc friend from Texas...........and praying you get that MRI approved.........Shokk

Hi Kids,
Lets keep DebC in our prayers and front and center in the Circle. She's in the hospital in Anchorage. She posted in the Mets forum.
Pammy .. I know how you feel .. by the time I get my breast MRI, it will be a year from my last mammo. I'm only one year out from rads. I'll keep you in my prayers that you get the okay from the insurance company.
Hi Tracy ... Welcome!!
Wendy .. hope you're feeling better today and recovering quickly.
Harley .. keep us in the loop with what's happening.
Blue ... think about you all the time. I'll see you and Ray of Sunshine next year!! What day is your surgery? In six days???
Hi Val and Sheri! Hi Nicki .. how's the foot today?
Shokk and Cherryl ... Somebody might shoot me if I put a Hillary or Obama poster in my front yard!! So .. Cherryl, if you're up my way ... I think I'll chance it ... Hillary only please.
Hi Lisa!! My son says its hot in S.D. right now! I reminded him that I live in VA.
OD ... glad you made it home safely ... Can't wait to see you next year.
love to all the Circle gals,
Bren

A happy afternoon to everyone! Even in the hardest times - its good to crack a smile. We have alot of our friends who are pretty sick right now - its a good feeling to know we can help. A kind word, a good song, a great joke, and of course Shokk and Cherryl babbling back and forth to each other. The two of you surely make me have a good old fashioned belly laugh.
Bren: Thank you for the update on DebC. It made me go and look for her post in the Mets Forum. Clinically it explains alot to me. They saw infection in the spinal fluid (cloudy?) which could indeed be the cause of all of this - and not Mets. Although I dont think any of us will breath better until she gets that report back. I have seen this before. Chemo induced meningitis or encephalitis. My foot is pretty good. I dont have any pain anymore. Still lose my balance a bit. Today I kept leaving it in patient rooms. I would go to grab it and realize I didnt have it. I would back track and there is would be looking just like Kris Kringles cane in "Miracle on 34th Street." The unsteadiness is getting better. Thanks for asking kiddo.
Shokk: I just have to know. Who started this whole smelling the baby's head anyways. I just love that whole idea.
Pammy: Im so upset about the insurance and this MRI thing. The insurance companies are making our doctors medical decisions for them. And we cant stop them - ummmm or can we?
Valerie: Hahahaha you just cracked me up.
Cherryl: When I was walking the perimeter of the wagon circle this morning, I thought I saw a shadow sneaking around. Thought it was the fairies waking up or going to sleep. What do they do anyways. Wake up or sleep during the day. Anyways, so it was you sneaking over to Shokks wagon? The two of you really make me smile.
Sheri: Dang I was busy today too. Despite being a board alcoholic, Im going through withdrawal as its seems more and more I have become a week-end friend. And I miss talking to so many here and on other threads.
Blue: so good to see you. Im glad your finially catching up - from a whirlwind weekend. Im laughing because Im reading from the most recent post back and just read "belly laugh." Seems we both had good ones today.
Harley: A trip to Walmart? Hope you got some good retail therapy. And good to get out of the house and not think about things for a while. We wont forget. Both you and Blue are in need of the magic carpet on August 13th and we will be there - Mazer and all.
OK - gotta run. See ya all later.

Good evening ladies..........Mensa we will be by to pick you up on the magic carpet.......what time do we need to be there?............not sure whom is driving but if its me I drive really slow so we will need to leave really early..................Well rain keeps dancing around us but won't pay a visit...........it is so dry here in North Texas................Cherryl thanks so much for the Obama for President sign for the front yard............I got home and I had 27 "for sale" signs in my yard as well..........the neighbors don't think your "joke" is sooooooo funny...............I tell them she really is ok for a Liberal Democrat...........at least she is from North Carolina so she's really not an Yankee.............and know they are wondering why I would associate with a Democrat..........and I am like we both have had breast cancer and we became friends on an Internet support site and I don't know I kinda like her........and they are like Shokk you need to make a choice..........its her or us and now I don't know what to do............it's like West Side Story........well not really but it could be..........see Cherryl I am willing to throw my life away in a very Republican Conservative district here in Dallas County for your friendship..........because we are Ebony and Ivory..........Liberal and Conservative..............Episcopalian and Southern Baptist..........Democrat and Republican but still here we are..........where are we?..........oh yeah..........here we are on a breast cancer support site close friends...........by the way.................I have your ID pass to get into the Republican National Convention...............I think they want you to pass out Dick Chaney buttons...........you know the I (heart) Dick and Halliburton...........

Make sure you pick me up on the 13th. That's the same as my first day of school, but I want to be there for Blue's surgery.
Shokk, I logged on one more time before I went to sleep tonight and am glad I did, your posts always crack me up!

Shokk, you are one wild & crazy girl!! Who loves you, baby!!! Ebony & Ivory all the way. You are getting way too frisky. Have to figure out how to rein you in.

Good evening ladies,
Looks like it is a go to go home tomorrow. They just want to make sure the pain pills are going to hold the pain. I hope so. I didn't have a pain pump, but was able to get what I needed on demand. It worked really well. Morphine doesn't work w/me so they have been using Dilaudad & that has taken care of it quite well. I will see the PS at the beginning of next week and I hope she still is as happy as she has been here.
Once again I want to thank everyone for their prayers and good wishes. I have felt very loved. My thoughts and prayers are w/DebC tonight. May she know we are holding her up the same way I felt your arms around me. God bless all.
In His Hands,
Wendy

It is late here, I just got back from the city and I came to see if anyone was awake. Everything is quiet and peaceful, so I too will turn in. I am saddened to read about your friends who are are going through such difficult times, both physically and emotionally. Because of your acceptance, love and support, today I am much stronger and will pray and send angels to comfort and guide them.
I will see you in the morning. Does anyone make 12 layer buttermilk biscuits? If not let me know and I'll have to get up early enought to have them ready for the east.
Hugs, peace and prayers to you all. HB
