Great picture of Jackie and her hubby. Thanks for posting that, Rita. Jackie, your hair looks great, but I don't know if that is still your wig or not. If it is, you really got a cute one. looking forward to meeting you one day!
Karin..Sorry about your car. it's always something, isn't it? I know what you mean about height and tucking ourselves into small cars. The blue dye is something different than the radioactive stuff they inject for SNB. At first they only used the blue dye, which is the same stuff that is in blue eyeshadow. That was a few years ago, and then they discovered that the radioactive stuff was more accurate. Now some docs use just the radioactive material, and some use both. The dye often leaks out into the skin lymphatics, and then you get what I had....a smurf boob. It was blue for more than a year! They actually use a geiger counter type thingy to map out the SNB in surgery after the nuclear injections! I like this new look of the site, but agree with you about the print. It seems bigger after it is posted than while you are typing.
I'm slowly catching up....Susan and Jackie, thanks for the beautiful poems.
Laura...Hope all is well with your family now, and hoping your foot is feeling much better.
Tile guys are leaving....tomorrow a hard day, when every tile needs a cut. Most of the room is tiled now, and is starting to look like a real bathroom! They actually think they will be finished tiling Friday or Monday. Great, because I am starting to paint next week.
Time to think about what's for dinner, so I'll catch up more later.

Thanks all. I received e-mails on how to cope. Everything is under control. The cat took water. I suppose what with all we face, I should not get so stressed about a cat. It just seemed so helpless and I felt so helpless as she was so sick. Enough.
Have a good evening.
Susan

JanC - 7:45 is no problem for me....
Susan - My little guy...BuddyLove.... has tummy probs once in a while...we give him a half of a teaspoon of Pepto Bismal - via a syringe - and it works every time! Honestly...we have saved many vet trips by doing this...I know it's okay for dogs...but check to make sure it's okay for cats.
smerf - Thanks...my foot is better, I am starting PT tomorrow...bummer...but my knees feel twisted from having to wear the boot for such a long time. I'm curios as to what they will do to correct this. A really bad habit of mine - is to sit with my legs crossed...that adds to the twisting prob... But hey...you are making progress with your contractors...hang in there...remember...you forget the pain!
blackjack - THANKS for checking in with me...I will call you as soon as I get a spare moment...CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!
------------------------------------
Girlz...I am doing okay...I spent the entire weekend visiting a hospital...but that's okay...I am always happy to help. I appreciate all your kind words and offers of help...I'm there for you too! THANKS GIRLZ!

Morning! Pouring here....Blackjack...have a wonderful trip! I can do lunch next month but I will be gone 7/17-28/08 and I won't be able to make it until 12 or 12:15 if we do it on a Friday as I have PT. Speaking of which....
Laura...good luck with PT! The first day was pretty much just an assessment for me. How long to you have to go? I get to go 6-8 WEEKS, 3x weekly for now. Hope your family is much better now...sounds like it. If you need anything, let me know.
Smerf....I too laughed about someone massaging your boob! And your bathrooms will be done before you know it. Then you can rip up your kitchen!!!!! Hahahahahahaha!
Rita...great pictures!
Jackie....loved the pic of you and Denny! You guys are so cute together!
Susan...how's your cat? I'm not an animal person but it's tough to see an animal sick as they can't tell you what's wrong.
Time to get moving I guess....everyone have a wonderful day!

Jackie - Awwwwww....nice photo! You two look great. I love your glasses - very fashionable!
That was so nice....meeting Rita and MaryJane...aren't they great?
Wendy - I should have mentioned...my appt with PT today is an evaluation. I will find out how long and how often I'll be in PT bootcamp. Hey too bad we couldn't do it together! That place - with us two - would never be the same! LOL 6-8 weeks for you...ouch...but I truly hope you get some relief.
-----------------------------------------
Today is WORK FROM HOME DAY, with a PT evaluation during lunch hour...fun, fun, fun. BUT - if it doesn't rain...dh and I may take the GOAT up to the dragstrip...I would love to punish the pavement! LOL
-----------------------------------------
Looking back through the posts...
I noticed Becky mentioned she wasn't comfortable with a boat ride on Saturday...what's the plan so far?

Oops....I did get Pat ( remodel ) and Susan mixed up. Guess my body detached for my brain for a time. Saw Susan's name toward the end of Pat's? post and away I went with it. Glad your kitty is better Susan. You really do need to check with your Vet about anything you give kitty. Dogs and cats do have somewhat different constitutions and needs. That is why vets will tell you not to let cats eat dog food and dogs cat food. I took in a cat who was majorly sick from its last meal which was dog food. We thought she was not gong to make it, but then she pulled through. About the massaging....That happened to me. But, it's very quick. My Surgeon who injected me in the Radiology dept. hours before my surgery, apologized but said she needed to massage the dye to get it on its way to the SN's. Don't know if she was massaging up and down or in a circular motion. By that time I was so nerved up Carry Grant, Robert Redford, Clint Eastwood or any of the actors I've so enjoyed could probably not have MOVED me. Once I'm well though I guess I could be generous and give them another chance.
Sure hoping everyone and everything goes well for the PT'er's. I did a lot of that in my time and sometimes the cure feels as bad as the problem. First time I did my own PT pretty much.....when the thyroid went my wt. dropped so drastically fast that I burned up most of my muscles so it was quite a process. Second time was the stroke and I had to have formal PT for that. Never will forget my PT instructor--Sherrie Jones. One day she blew up a balloon and we were playing catch with it. Something about it struck me funny ( don't ever do that to me ) and the thought of two very GROWN women playing catch with a baloon sent me into peals of hysterical laughter until I actually fell/collapsed on a cot from it all. After that ( guess it's what I needed ) PT just became something fun....and it made the "WORK" of it easier.
Well, meanwhile back at the motel, I finished one book yesterday....thank goodness Mary Jane gave me two books as thinking I would be a slower reader ( didn't think I'd do a lot on Monday and I didn't ) I only brought two with me and I'm half way through the second one. Hope the teachers in the group don't expect a book report or anything. Wendy.....the Coben books are a bit twisty aren't they? I'm sure I'll like them all. I can see a lot of reading in my future now---something I use to do all the time. Not sure how I got torn away from it ( I was an early reader ) but the addiction is back full force.
Well, I need to go check my mail-box----very slow when you do it by web, but at least I can empty what does not belong. On my Vista at home the junk mail automatically goes to the junk folder already set up, but here and on the web-based mail I have to sift through it all.
Hope you all have a beautiful day and hope it's not too wet if you are having rain.
Jackie

Good afternoon everyone,
Thanks again for even more info about the SNB.
I spoke to a nurse, she said they will use a numbing cream before giving me 4 injections - this will be done 1 hour before surgery.
Mich101 - my surgery is Monday, July 7th at 9:30am.
I heard from my ob/gyn - I have a rather large uterine polyp & need it removed along with a D&C and hysteroscopy. We are going to see if it can be done at the same time as my mastectomy. (Otherwise I'd need General Anesth again... poop to that!) Ovaries just have the same old little cysts on them. So - at least no "tumors" but still not thrilled with the dx. BLAH.
Friday I am going to Aurora with a close friend. We are going to the casino & to Walter Paytons Roundhouse I plan on having a few tasty cocktails - she is driving
Sorry I didn't give individual responses to everyone - I have to logoff & try to get all of the surgeons on board.
Oh - and I found out that I cannot continue the COBRA insurance, which stinks!! However, the state provides Breast Cancer treatment funding for women with no insurance.. so at least I'm not going to be high & dry. Phew. One less thing to worry about.
Okay, stop this merry-go-round, I want OFF!!! LOL!!
Love to you all !!! julier

I have no idea why I posted 2 of the same pictures but I can't the second one to delete so you'll just have to see two of the same. YOU ARE NOT SEEING DOUBLE!!!!!! I need help!!!!
And now for the last picture...........the one especially for Wendy taken by some nice gentleman who happened to park next to us while we were snapping pictures. Top down! Fists up! We have Jackie's hair tied on so she doesn't lose it! LOL

Good afternoon, ladies! I hope you are all doing well today. The clouds and rain moved out of our area and we did get 18 holes of golf completed, which was really surprising.
Susan, I just reread some of the posts that I hadn't seen and noticed that your denta hygene specialist thinks that chemo is good for the gums????? Now that's a new one to me! I thought it contributed to a mouth-ful of problems that I've had corrected. I need to think about that one for awhile. In the meantime, I'm so glad to hear that "kitty" is doing better. How well I understand your concern.
Smerf...it sounds like you're getting to the end of the remodeling project. YEAH! I hope you like the finished product as well as I like mine. Oh my! There were times when I thought it was never going to be completed.
HensonChi...welcome to the Illinois thread. Come back and visit us anytime!
I am really looking forward to seeing you gals at Starved Rock on Saturday. Are we meetin around 11:00 at the lodge? I will have Wendy the Younger with me if she is doing O.K. The past two days have been tough for her, so I'm hoping that she'll be "good to go on Saturday." I need to google the directions and see how long it's going to take me to get there. Hope you end up with a van full of gals, JanClare!
I need to think about dinner so I'd better get moving. I was determined I was going to get the rest of those pictures posted. Jackie, I hope the week is going quickly for you. Is your skin still doing O.K?

Rita and everyone:
That is one very cool picture! I will treasure this picture for some time. This reminds me of a Thelma and Louise look without the Grand Canyon journey. You ladies look like you are heading for some very happy times ahead!
Thanks to everyone for your guidance on my cat...even Wendy, who doesn't love animals, had compassion. Of course, like kids, the cat was perfect by the time I got to the vet. The vet was even baffled as to what to do with me as she was fine. So he threw in some prescription food for her (high in protein) and charged me $57.00. Now that I think of it, I would never have gone to the pediatrician with one of my kids if they had diarrhea and threw up for two days. I actually think this cat is getting to my husband in that he advised me to keep the appointment just for peace of mind. Of course he doesn't know about the $57.00 visit. en me so much comfort.
Rita, the woman who did my periodontal deep cleanings was obviously wrong about how chemo is good for gums as so many people (including my good friend who has colon cancer) have problems with their teeth. I was nervous there and maybe she went overboard trying to make me feel good about just everything.

Hi ladies - This Illinois thread is pretty dang long!
I read the first couple pages from 2007 - then jumped to today...
It seems you've formed some really great relationships here!
I am new to the boards - I'm in Illinois - Fox Lake.
After my doctor screwed up my diagnosis here (I knew something was wrong for a long time but she didn't listen to me, aside from all the other "basement problems" tumor / polyp problems etc...) , I went to University of Chicago & received fantastic care from day one. I had a lumpectomy (again, like my 7th in past 10 years) though I wanted a mastectomy (I was really hoping I could get rid of these saggy beyond G cups can't get a brazere to fit chest & trade them in for new perky D's but that didn't happen.) I am currently taking chemo (heavy TAC x6) closer to home Thank god I'm doing it a little closer to home. I think I've been to the Onc office & hospital on average... 3-4 days a week. Nothing has gone ideally smooth. Neulasta... almost did me in, neupogen still was quite hard on me, My medi port only lasted 2 treatments. I developed a huge clot in the sub clav after the first treatment. Took that out, got a picc line, that only lasted 1 treatment, because the clot had gotten so huge, had to take it out & get an angioplasty. So now I get a midline picc put in, get 5+ hours of treatment and then get the picc removed. Next treatment, get another picc installed... removed.... Until I'm done there... Plus, it's easier on my daughter (11) to not see a line coming out of my arm. I'm running out of places to be poked.
Then ovaries come out (which I've been asking my doc to do for 10 years. if only....)
then radiation. (Is that what everyone refers to as "rads"?)
I saw someone mention breast cancer aid in Illinois (which I've heard of & may need, since my husband is losing his job to China) any info on that?
It is a long hard road. And while I can crack jokes on paper, My mindset is not all there yet. I imagine it will be easier when chemo is done & the consistent feeling like crap my body is going to explode feelings are done....
It does my heart really good to see people on these boards - fighting for YEARS..
Nice pictures too ladies!
Pollywog...
I'm with ya on...
Hot Flashes? Holy Heck yeah - Night Sweats - all night
Insomnia? Up every 30-60 minutes... Will it ever stop?
JulieR:
Good luck on the polyp & D&C. I did that in January myself...
My favorite part of surgery is the not worrying about anyone or what I need to get done and the falling asleep is easy for a change!

Carol-
Big (((hugs))) to you. It sounds like you have really been through the wringer with all this. I'm so sorry that you have to fight this battle, but want to say that the Illinois Gals will be with you all the way if you wish! They are full of wisdom, compassion, and love.
I'm in Lake Zurich, so pretty close to you. If you need anything, or just want to talk to someone face to face, send me a PM and we can get together.

Hi Illinois ladies-
It's Debbie/thebandteacher/whoops here-the former Illinois/Peoria girl.
I've got a question for you Chicagoland ladies....
I'm in Crown Point, IN right now, and going to Univ. of Chicago. If you would kindly look at my posting I did (I so don't want to re-type it) earlier, I had a really bad experience with my Doc's nurse earlier today. She was awful and made me sob.
I'm not thick-skinned, and therefore really want to switch oncologists now, just because the nurse was evil. I know it's lame of me.
I wanted to know who in Chicago goes to what oncologists, and who they would recommend in a heartbeat.
Thanks ladies, Love and prayers, Deb

Deb:
Was this evil nurse at U of C ?! I have never run into one bad doctor or nurse there. A couple of the reception girls were... off. But I never had trouble with a doctor, nurse or surgeon there. They were all sympathetic and very nice. Did you look on their site at "find a doctor" under oncologist? Did you tell the doctor about that horrible conversation with the idiot uncaring & unhelpful nurse?
I'm so sorry that happened to you. It's just wrong all over the place when you are in pain & scared that they treat you like that instead of helping you find someone to help you! We are not doctors & we rely on them for help! ((oh wait, I did have one bad nurse in the overnight hospital part when I had to spend the night, she never got my pain meds to me on time never managed my pain, the night nurse got me to a managable pain level, the day nurse screwed it all up... her name was... get this... MERCY ha ha ha ha she had none.)) It's a shame that sometimes one bad apple can spoil the entire bunch. Did you try a different doctor there?

RITA, JACKIE, MARYJANE - OMG! lol I LOVE IT! Fists up, girls! You look so awesome...in that hot car, and Jackie with the scarf on! Susan is right...Thelma and Louis - ALL THE WAY!
Carol - Hang in there! You have been through ALOT! I really think Neulasta and Neupogen are OVER PRESCRIBED! The Neulasta kicked my a** too! The day after my injections...I felt like a semi drove over me, stopped, backed up, and drove over me again! Cripe...it was horrible! I live in Hawthorn Woods - not far from you too! I head up to Famous Freddy's quite often on the weekends...maybe we can meet there sometime. The Illinois girls have a private list of phone numbers and addresses of those who want to be on it...if you would like be added, let me know, and I will send you a private message with the info.
Debbie - Hi...sorry you had to deal with such a witch! My Onc is the northwest burbs...I'm sure someone will come to your rescue!

JanClare:
It's hard talking to someone that hasn't been through quite the same thing. The understanding of the entire process just isn't there. (( you ARE close by! My uncle lives in LZ - Valentine Manor - 17 miles away))
Thanks so much, you are an
I just might do that! ~carol~

LauraGTO -
ha ha ha yes! they DID look like Thelma & Louise!
Hawthorne Woods, yes you are very close to me too!
OMG - Famous Freddies, is right here 2 miles away & can you believe I've only gone there ONCE? (My husband is a cheap bohemian. hee hee)
Please yes, I'd like to add myself to the list, though I probably won't call anyone until I'm finished with the chemo, it really is taking away everything I've got. Any moment I have that I can offer to someone, I spend it with my daughter instead of on the phone. Or doing dishes. Or vacuuming.
another angel....
I'm so glad I finally found this board.I'm grateful, thanks!

Hi Ladies, I am back in the West Bank/Israel/Palestine, whatever, until August 12th. Wish I could be with you on the outing. Come August and Fall, I will be in the states for awhile for all my medical stuff and family.
I read the posts, but my post menopausal brain forgets a lot.
I see there are several new people, and several people going through difficult treatments. Hang in there, and vent here. This is a great place. My prayers are with you.
I liked the Thelma and Louise picture. However, I want to confirm those were only fists raised, and did not include middle fingers!
I did have one problem flying over here. I lost my suitcases for a day. The real part that I worried about was that I had purchased 7 lbs of ribs from Costco for my husband (not much availability of pork ribs in Israel). I had frozen them, wrapped them in a dish towel, and in addition they were vacuum packed and I put them in two plastic bags. I thought for sure I would need to toss them and that I could identify my suitcase by the smell! (48 hours in transit). However, they were still a little cool to the touch, still light red (the meat/blood was not darker), and there was no smell. I boiled them immediately, added bb sauce, and wrapped them in foil until our cookout. The ribs survived!
All for now. I will read the posts, but probably not post a lot, but just wish I was in Chicago.
Oh, and Debbie/whoopschangedmyname, I go to Northwestern, which indlucdes the Lynn Sage Breast Center and Lurie Cancer Center (across the street). I have been very happy there. I assume you go downtown because of the roads from Indiana. There is convenient parking (Something like $9 for 7 hours). Plus last time I went I did a mammogram, ultrasound, and saw the Dr. all in the same morning.). Just a suggestion. PM me if you want the specific names.

Morning! Photobucket is down for maintenance so....
I LOVE the picture! Thelma and Louise and Louise!!!!!! You guys all look great!
Carol...welcome!!!! So glad you found our thread, It helps so much to find a group of caring ladies to talk to,doesn't it? And we all get it. DH (means Dear Husband, or D**n Husband, depending on the day) and I love to drive up to Dockers in Fox Lake and have lunch on their deck. Come back often and get to know us all....I personally think we are all very nice and supportive and caring but be warned....we have all found the "new normal" so we might be a little off, too! But I think that makes us fun and nutso and crazy.
Deb...I am so sorry that happened to you. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVEmy onc and all his staff! They are in Geneva Il tho, so not very close to you at all. If you want names, locations etc PM me and I will send you the scoop. Did I mention that I LOVE my onc????
Sharon...glad your ribs survived! Actually I am quite surprised that they did!
HensonChi....I didn't welcome you the other day as of course I forgot! So...a bit late but...Welcome! Come back any time and maybe tell us a bit more about yourself...whereabouts in Chicago are you! I did live at Austin and Foster until we moved out here to S. Elgin in 2001.
Susan...glad the kitty is better! I agree with all of you...how could chemo be good for anything but killling cancer cells?? Altho...funny thing...I have always had weak, peely fingernails. While on chemo they grew long and hard and looked fantastic. Now...back to cr***y. Go figure....
Need to get moving a bit....and yes Laura...we would really have some fun at PT together! Right now most of my therapy consists of deep massage, TENS and stretching. They can't start anything else until those muscles let go of their grip...I guess I am so tensed with my body trying to protect that area is actually swollen as well as hard. But I guess you will start with something different and more active than me. I was laying on the table, laughing...my DH has so much empathy for me having to have PT and there I am, having this wonderful massage. Aaaaaaah!

Ooops...forgot you,Julie R!!! Another thing to take care of...it seems it's always something else right now, doesn't it? My hope is that they can indeed take care of everything in one fell swoop but since your surgery will be quite prolonged, I am guessing that they won't???? Maybe they could start with the polyp???? And glad you will have these bills taken care of...you so do not want to worry about bills right now....
Hugs!

Hi...I am in Elgin off of Shoe Factory Rd. Nice to meet you all. I drive into the city for treatment and really have liked Rush. I went there after a hospital in the area botched everything up....it was a great change!

WOW!!!!! I had to really think back about "Thelma & Louise", but it does look like that. Sure had a good time that day.Hemson, Carol, Deb....what a lot can happen in a few short hours. I'm sorry you are here---it's the club none of us wanted to join, but it is a great place to find help, understanding and comfort. When you are ready it is also a great place to share good times and build special memories. I am located in Southern Illinois so am not good for resources or info pertinent to your area, but I can offer understanding and caring--all you can use.
Those TENS units are great aren't they Wendy. Denny has two of them at home although he just uses a infrared heating pad to 'loosen' up most of the time.
Sharon glad you are safely back in Palestine and glad the ribs made it. Aren't the baggage compartments in planes really cold....maybe that is why the ribs survived so well.
Wendy, I bought two of the Coben books with me....thinking it would be enough. I started the second one yesterday and finished it already. Good thing Mary Jane gave me a couple. I didn't realize I had come anywhere near the speed at which I used to read. Hmmmm Good thing I do have a small supply. It's has been such a pleasure that I doubt I'll ever quit reading again.
Well time to get a few things done. Looking forward to going home tomorrow. Another great week-end of work I imagine but that is ok. Sounds like it is going to be too hot to be outside.
Talk to ya'll later.
Jackie

Wendy
You must be psychic. That truly was going to be my next question. "What the heck is DH" figured it had something to do with husband....
Can I ad an S in there?
Dumb S#it Husband - Linda Blair hot flash - bad day
Damn Sweet Husband - good day
Some of you live so close & come into my backyard it will make it too easy to meet you all!
Jackie - thanks for lending your ear! And I SO wish I wasn't part of this club, but you all make it a heck of a lot easier.
HensonChi -
Same thing happened by my hospital - all botched - dropping the ball....
The hospitals in Chicago seem superior to those out in the sticks.
Thank God we live close enough to the top ranked hospitals that we have that option!

Afternoon Ladies!! Welcome to Carol and HensonChi, sorry you had to find us but this is the BEST SUPPORT group there is!! Good seeing you again Deb. HensonChi I used to live about a block off Shoe factory rd & Preston...( my Dad & Bro still live on Keep)
Lots to catch up.... Anyone there every hear of Casting for recovery? (http://www.castingforrecovery.org/) They have several retreats nation wide that are FREE to BC survivors. ( have to provide your own transportation) I was accepted this year! Sept 5 to 7 at Big K ranch. With, I don't know how many other survivors. We will be taught to fly fish plus have plenty of time to meet others that have gone thru the some thing. I'll know more when I get my DR approval so they can send me my packet.
Rita thanks for the pics!!! You all are so cute!!
My sil works at Luthran General In park ridge, that is where my nephew had his Luekemia treatment. But I'm sure being a nurse there they get different treatment or is it that they just know the ropes better?
Better get busy Jackie have a great weekend @ home..Laura & Wendy PT fun????
Never been my luck!0 -
Hi gals! Just got back from getting a haircut and color. That's always an uplifting experience for me and then I drove all the way home with the top down! YES!!!!
Julie R..Good luck at the Casino on Friday. You know, you are due for some luck so go in there expecting to win!!!! I'm so glad that you can sign onto the state insurance. You have enough to handle right now without having to worry about the cost of everything.
Little C....welcome to the Illinois thread. It sounds like you've had your share of problems, hon. Let's hope that they are all behind you now and you can proceed with your treatments and get this behind you. To answer your question: rads does mean radiation treatments. You're also right about the good relationships that we have developed on this thread. It is so amazing that you can become so "connected to women on this thread"...many of whom you've never met. Once you meet them, the connection strengthens and all of us stand together to give support to those who need it. This is one awesome group of ladies and we welcome you!
Deb...I'm afraid I can't give you advice on the oncology programs near you but I do hear your frustration. You should not have been treated that way. I think you're wise to look around for another oncologist if you are displeased with the rapport at your current office. The onc becomes such an important part of our life...both during and after our treatment. Where is your pain? I guess I missed that (what's new, eh???). Anyway, I'm sending good vibes and prayers your way! Hang in there and let us know how it is going. We will be thinking about you.
Laura...How'd the evaluation go? What's the latest plan?
Sharon...Glad that you made it back safely and that the ribs also survived the trip. That must really be true love to work so hard at getting Costco ribs back to your hubby. It also shows just how wonderful you are! I love that story!
Jackie...another week is about over! You are just counting down these rad treatments, one day at a time. I'm so glad that you're back into reading. I find that I am never bored because I can always pick up a good book and be transplanted into a fictional environment. Hang in there, gal! You can get through these last weeks.
Hello to everyone!!!! Can't wait to see some of you again on Saturday! Hope that you are going to be able to join us, Becky. I'm anxious to meet you! Give us the last minute details, Kater and thanks for all your efforts to get this planned for us!

June 28th lunch
rte 71 is twisty and windy so don't go that way unless you WANT to.
I just upgraded to 9 people for 11 a.m. lunch at Starved Rock Lodge..
It takes a few minutes to go the speed limit to the lodge...
you find the parking lot and have a little walk up there, go to the right when you walk in the main doors of the lodge...
815 667 4227
800 868 7625
reservations under my last name whoops, when i get there i'll expound
Thanks..
My cell 224 402 3760
I'll be going earlier I Hope to visit my adopted step parents I used to live near in Utica. They are here for the summer, they live in FL now.0 -
Sharon - OMG - I loved your rib story! You saved the day! LOL I can imagine you all must crave many things now and then...even when I go to MX for a piddly week...I always crave something...pizza, etc. Glad you checked in...
blackjack - How's everything going? I know you don't have a computer...but I think I just may call you tonight! Hope you're feeling better each day.
Wendrew - LOL On second thought...they could never handle you and I together in PT.! LOL...
kater - How's the computer doing these days...is the FBI link gone? Hope to see you Saturday...
Rita - Thanks for asking. My PT eval went well...but I question whether I really need to go to regular sessions. They gave me a print out of stretching and weight bearing exercises to do at home. And then I will go to my appts and do them there. I would like to just go back to my health club and do everything there, but I realize the PT people will want to do regular measurements and check my muscle strength. So I have to call them and ask if I can just do everything at home and at the health club and just visit them for all the technical stuff... Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!
LittleC - OMG - With you, we have another class clown....Wendy is the queen...and I can see you will be sitting beside her! It's great you have been able to keep up your sense of humor. That is what will get you through this!
