    {{{SHOKK}}}  So sorry for  your loss.  Sending hugs of comfort your way.  It always seems as if those with the most promise go too soon.  Thinking specially of you today.

    {{{Slonedeb}}}  So sorry you are feeling so bad.  Hope you are taking care of yourself as best as you can.  We love you and continually pray for you.

    {{{Harley}}}... congrats on the benign report!  So nice to hear some good news for a change.

     A prayer for us all:

    Our most gracious Heavenly Father:  We come to you today with heavy hearts but also with thankfulness.  Thankfulness for the cessation of suffering for some, for good reports for others and for the many miracles you give us throughout our days.  Our hearts are heavy because of the loss of those we care about, the suffering of others and the fears we all hold on to.  I pray that this day we can release those hurts to you and allow you to carry our load.  You tell us in your Word that your yoke is easy and burden is light.  For us to come to you and you will give  us rest.  Help us to do that Lord.  Help us to rest in you.  Be with shokk as she deals with this most recent heartache.  Be with her community as they mourn the loss of one so dear.  Bless them.  Grant them peace and hope.  Be with slonedeb Lord.  She has been fighting for so long.and is tired.  Bless her efforts Lord, and help her to be free from the pain that has persisted for so long.  Let her know you are there.  I also ask a special blessing on Deb C.  She is such an inspiration to us Father.  Wrap  your arms around her and heal her.  Please enable her treatments to work.  Be with our dear Puppy who is struggling right now.  It is a long trip back from brain surgery.  Please let her know how much we love her and help her to feel better.  Be with Ed and help him to be what she needs him to be, and bless him too.  Be with all those here who are in treatment and give them your strength.  Use your power Lord to bless and heal them.  Thank you for so many advancements that have been made, and please help them to find a cure for this beast that has invaded all our lives.

    God, we just ask that you be with us this day.  Help us to take one day at a time, one moment or breath at a time if need be.  Help us to trust you more.  In the name of Jesus I pray.  Amen

    Not much activity here today.  Almost time for me to go home and wanted to check in before leaving work.  It is girls night tonight.  I can't reach my friend Vicki, and Gail and I think it is her night to cook.  My bet is she works late and says she can't come.  I hope not.  I told Gail if I had to cook we are having tuna salad sandwiches. 

    Nicki, I have been eating much smarter this week so far.  (yes, I know it is only Tuesday).  Raisin Bran in the mornings, light lunch, more water and lean cuisine or soup for supper.  Jumping a few times on my mini trampoline (it isn't so hard on the knees... I don't actually jump, but more like walk in place... gets me out of breath anyway).  The Olympics have inspired me to be more healthy.  Did you guys see the 41 year old swimmer?  She was awesome.

    Slonedeb, haven't heard from you today but hoping you are hanging in there and not in too much pain.  We are all praying for you.

    DebC, haven't seen you in a little while either.  You are so much on everyone's mind and hearts.  Let us know how it's going.  Remembering  you in my prayers also.

     Cherryl.... 8 years.  Wow... I am 3 years out and still walk on a tightwire where the big c is concerned.  Do ok til time for another checkup.  I am on every 6 months now, and due a mammo in November. 

    Question to anyone with lumpectomy>>>>>>  Do your boobs hurt?  I had lumpectomy for biopsy by a general surgeon.  Breast surgeon went back in and got what he thought was the rest and then he had to go back 3 more times for clean margins!  Anyway.... I have a lot of scar tissue between the excisions and the radiation, but boy is it painful.

    Ok... time to run.  By the way, Valerie.... I am erecting us an "attitude" tent.  Sounds so much better than some of the tents we've been in.   It can help us look at our perspectives maybe.  lol

     Love and hugs to all... Pammy

    Hey oil drilling science hating fence straddling Repub, thanks for the good wishes.

    Brenda, congrats on three years.

    Pammy,  you sound good. You're putting the rest of us to shame. I really ought to start exercising something other than my mouth.

    Hi, Val. How are things in your "cell?"

    Z, what a great surprise. Don't stay away so long.

    See everyone later.

    Hi Deb,  I hear from Sherloc, Tink, Mags, Windygail and a few others that we were in chat with.  I keep track of you as well.  I had a MUGA scan before doing A/C.  It's not a difficult test.  They inject you with radioactive tracer and then take pics of your heart to see how it's functioning.

    You get the rest you need. 

    Hugs & Prayers

    Good evening sisters,

    I feel like the earth has dropped out from me tonight.  Not to the extent that Puppy, Slonedeb, and DebC I'm sure feel like, but for me, not what I have felt like over the last 2 weeks.  I have felt so good after my surgery on the 4th that I guess I forget what it really felt like to have major surgery.  Today all I have done is slept.  I feel terrible, but no fever,  The drain has been putting out anywhere from 250 to 350cc per day and today it has put out 45cc.  I can see the blockage right where it goes into the leg but I can't seem to get it out.  I have milked it and had my DH do it too because he is stronger.  It's started to come out around the drain at the leg.  My breast is VERY big and hard in places, although the flap itself is still very supple.  It really hurts to have the bra on.  I feel like I'm whining.  Does anyone have an idea how to dislodge the clot so the drain will run freely again?  I have a really large syringe that I thought I could try and suction but DH is not really thrilled about trying it.  My leg is quite sore and puffy.  I'm sure all that fluid that had been coming out is now backing up.  Sorry for sounding like such a baby.  I just have felt so great that it's like I've been kicked.  I've had enough surgery to know that sometime you take a few steps back during recovery as you walk forward, but this just seem really different.  The PS said to come into the office in AM but something just tells me I need to do something before that.  If anyone has any ideas I sure sould appreciate it.

    Lots of love and prayers to everyone,

    Wendy

    Wendy I think you need to call your doctor.............I did not have what you are going through but I am sure that someone might pop in and give you some suggestions...............I know that you don't want to brother them but retaining all that fluid where it cannot drain is not good...........are you sure you are not running a fever?.............Let me see if I can find anyone that can help............Shokk

    Thanks shokk,

    I called the PS this after and told her.  She said to call first think in AM and to try to milk the drain, which I did, w/no success.  Took temp again, normal.  I have to be very, very sick to run to run a temp.  I just don't feel like myself or the way I have felt over the last week since getting out of the hospital.  The skin is quite irritating where the liquid is seeping out around the drain so it is really red.  I'm putting antibiotic on it.  Thanks so much for your offer to help.  I think if I can get the blockage out of there, the drain will start to run again.

    I'm going to try to milk it again now.  Praying for good luck.

    Wendy

    I didn't have that either, but I'm thinking of you and praying that the blockage will resolve itself.


    Keeping you in my prayers!   Also praying for slonedeb and Deb C., and sending a wave to FreeSpirit, Nicki!!!

    Doris,

    I'm so sorry about your Mother, I'll be keeping you in my prayers!!  It's so hard when we lose the ones we love!!     

    I always think that death is hardest for the people who are left behind, because  we love them and miss them so much!  Sending HUGS your way!!

    My email friend's husband passed away last week.  He was dx'd with stage IV cancer, in his liver and his bones, about three weeks before he died.  It is so sad!  I called her last night, and we cried together.  He had a check up SIX months ago, and they didn't find anything unusual in any of his bloodwork or anything.  He was as healthy as a horse.  It's just so sad!
