LauraGTO: Please let me know what bl. test you get done. I am going Friday to see the surgeron for an injection in my underarm. Now I am having rib and breast pain. Is this all normal??? I think I am going to look for a new onc. I have talked to a few people and they heard of her and didn't like her and switched. I think I would like to take tomax maybe. Have not started on any meds. The onc told me I could wait until next yr. if I want to start when I am in menapause. I don't no what to do. What are thoughts out their Ill. ladies. Blackjack

WHICH IS BEST
OR WHAT ARE OPINIONS?
FEMARA OR ARIMIDEX?
I'll be checking prescription plans and insurance because that is about 15,000 for the next 5 years, 264 to 300 a month reportedly. The oncologist said they are the same....your thoughts? Is there a thread about that?
Wendy, Mom is okay. We have extra houseguest now till January so that makes everyone more cheerful. We got new piano rolls yesterday and they were playing them tonight and it's been a long time (since before my uncle had a stroke oct 2006) since they played rolls, so that's a good thing, exercise for the piano pumper and music for the rest. Her chemo starts Friday.
SMERF, guess what I got at the oncologist office for you today?!
See my last email!
IL Lady, I heard claritin before neulasta shot, but I always forgot, it didnt bother me (unless many months later that is what is making me so sore now!)
Laura: I asked my interior design lover sister if she liked your centerpiece and she said YES, what does it cost? She lives in CA. Did we miss kane county thing? I forgot the date. I sent her your note on cost, thanks!
Oh and what a good xmas idea (i'm ms practical...i think all my family should have radon tests,....maybe that's what made me sick, i finished my basement 5 years ago and worked down there in office for a couple years probably--now i just sit on couch and compute).
I used to wallyball with a radon guy..i wonder if he can get rid of it?
So, I wonder if our clips are still in, i wondered when i had that mri, is there something metal in me or is it plastic? I forgot to ask today.
Kater
Welcome Joanna! I'm so happy you found us to write here.

Kater, I tried a p.m. to do---haven't found yours to me yet. Isn't cyber-space strange. It's early a.m.--nearly 2 now and I'm going to have to try going back to bed. DH put a new 'night light' outside and it's right by my bedrm window...I like it dark. Well if I get tired enough it won't matter.

Morning my friends!!! Brrrrrrrrrr.....8 out here. Wow, Laura....8"! We got about 5 but I here more is coming tonight. Oh well.....
MaryJane....gosh what a decision to make for you and your family. Hopefully your daughter's delivery will be totally uneventful. Let us know, OK?
Jackie....see you were up late (or early???). Get your DH to shut that light off! Just what you don't need right now....LESS sleep!
Kater....I'm on Arimidex. Dr Bayer WAS going to put me on Femara but something re: my back problems back in August...he thought arimidex would be kinder...I don't know! I do know they work differently but the outcome is the same. Femara is kinder to your bones tho. He also put me on 1200-1500 mg of calcium along with 1000 U of D everyday, then a DEXA scan sometime in the next year or two. I only pay $22./month with my husband's ins. so I know how lucky I am!
Hey Pat....how ya' doin', girlfriend?
Hi Joanna....I'm sorry that you have to deal with this beast again but you sure seem to have a handle on everything!
Well...off to shower and then to exercie. Yep...shower first...so I can do something with my Don King hair! Have a great day!

BURR! It's cold out there this morning! I stepped out on the porch to feed the outdoors cat and hustled right back in. They are predicting 2 to 4 inches of snow here, beginning this evening. Can you tell how excited I am about that? I was the kid who never learned to ice skate because I'd walk to the pond, get cold, and come home to read a book instead!
Joanna....so glad that you posted. It was nice meeting you at the dinner. Now that you've got this all figured out, we will expect to see you often! :-) I am so sorry to hear about your recurrence, but am glad that you are doing well. What type of treatments are you doing for it?
Ginny....good to talk to you yesterday. I will be waiting for news after you see the onc today. PLEASE call or check in or you will find me bothering you. Hope your MIL arrived safely. She will be a great help to you during the holiday season. It is nice that you have such a warm relationship with her.
Jackie...To find Kater's PM...get logged in, go to the first page of this thread. Right above my very first post there is a pinkish-purple rectangular box. Click on MY HOME. That will take you to a different page. Click on INBOX and you should find it.
To send a PM to Kater, find one of her posts on our thread. Click on her name that appears right above her picture on the actual post. That will take you to a different page where you can click on Send a PM to Kater. Click on that and a box will appear in which you can type your message. Hope this helps you connect.
Pat....hope you're all snuggled up! Thinking of you as I do each day and praying for relief from your pain!
Kater....I know my clips are still in (3 of them) because I saw them on the mammogram, but I had the lumpectomy. I didn't think to ask the type of material that they were made from though.
Well, I'm still working on these Christmas cards. I made it my goal to send a card to everyone who helped me get through this past year. I'm trying to write a personal note in each one. It's amazing the number of people who stepped up to help. I may still be writing out cards in January! :-)
Stay warm gals and travel safely if the snow arrives in your area before you get home from work and activities.

Oops! Forgot to comment on the Arimidex, Kater. (Imagine that....me forgetting something! LOL)
I am on the Arimidex, too. My onc wanted me to try it first over the Femara because Arimidex has been around longer, and according to him, has a good track record. Femara is newer and fewer clinical tests have been conducted on it. He did tell me that if I couldn't handle the Arimidex, he would switch me with no hesitation to Femara. Women seem to react differently to the two of them. So far...other than that horrible night insomnia....I have had to problems with the Arimidex. The insomnia has improved greatly and I've had no problems with it now until this past week when I was anxious about the yearly tests.

And it's me back again!
For you new gals and those of you who still haven't gotten it done:
Laura has composed a list of information for many of us. If you will PM her your real name, address, email address, phone numbers, date of birth and date of diagnosis, she will add you to our contact list and send you a copy of everyone's information by email. This is very handy and is a way that we can keep in touch with anyone who doesn't post for a long period of time. It's also nice because we have each other's addresses and can send cards of encouragement or special events cards, like birthdays that we should indeed celebrate. If you're interested in providing this information, please get your info to her.

Not much time, just wanted to make a quick stop by and say Hi to everyone.
Mary Jane-I'm sorry to hear about your FIL. Heart felt sympathy to you and your family during this difficult time.
Rita- Woo-hoo, glad your doctors appt went well.
Laura-Wow, what a weird thing with your finger. Hope all goes well when you see the surgeon.
Radon sure is frightening, my daughter & son-in-law are in the process of buying a house and it was their Realtor who suggested to them that they have Radon testing done when they have the home inspection. Good thing they listened to their Realtor, as the Radon test of the sellers home showed levels that ranged from as low as 6 to as high as 11 over a 24 hr period. They almost backed out on the deal as the Sellers (an older couple) at first refused to pay for a Radon mitigation system to be installed. Their reasoning was that they've lived in the house for 15 yrs and they're fine so they didn't think the mitigation system was necessary.
Gotta go and get a few more things done before I pick up my grand daughter from school.

Interesting, topic of checkups.
The oncologist yesterday, when I asked how to handle Rush surgeon wanting mammos done at Rush (non digital) and having them done locally (digital)...he added that I did not have to keep coming back to him,
(I could notify them and they would send all records to other dr)
that really my primary doctor could order the blood tests needed...
The more I think of it, the more I think that makes a lot of sense, after all, how much does he get for apptmts, not much I bet...and he is so busy, maybe he doesnt even WANT these followup visits!
In other words, I asked, if there is a problem, THAT is when I would see you and the surgeon, etc. He said yes (I didnt check my notes but I think that was the drift).
I had planned to go to Laura and Jan's gyne anyway...seems like she would be more attuned to my problems (ie no response to headaches and nausea I'm having).

kater- I need to apologize to you, I just noted in an e-mail from Laura with the updated names, address and info list that I spelled your last name wrong on the Holiday card I mailed to you today. That will teach me, I didn't have on my 'high magnification reading glasses' when I wrote out the cards today.
While I'm at it, if I messed up on anyone elses name, I apologize.

Blackjack - Ask for a cbc and a cmp...I'll let you know of any others when I go to my appt.
Joanne - Oh well...you'll just have to join us at our next get-together so you can smile in the photo! I'm glad you posted...in no time you'll be hooked like the rest of us!
Susan - I know you still worry quite often about mets and recurrence, so maybe 3 month blood tests would help eliminate some of your concern. Just a suggestion.

You can get them through a Canadian pharmacy on the internet for ALOT LESS.

Hi all,
I had a little setback today. My left eye got all funny and I ended up in the emeergency room because things started going dark on me. After a very long day and an emergency visit to the opthamologist, we found out that I have a problem with my retina. The good news is that it is not detached. I need to be vigilant and we will watch it. There is nothing you can to to "fix" a rip. Ironically they can do surgery if the rip causes it to detach. I am getting freaking tired of being vigilant.
And speaking of being vigilant I did call my oncologist and I have an appointment to discuss blood tests and some nagging "pain in the leg" issues (literally) I have which I hope is from arimidex. His thought is that the scans and the blood tests can be so inconclusive and that they often create needless anxiety. He is very open, however, and I am sure he will be open to me. Three-month blood tests could rassure me or could keep me nutty from test to test. We will see.
One thing for sure. I now know that my doctors have a handle on what makes me tick. The primary suggested that I see a therapist as the health trip triggers such anxiety for me and THAT has a negative impact on my quality of life. For example, three month visits could trigger such anxiety and I think my doctors know that, so perhaps a therapist (although that alone triggers anxiety) might help me sort through it so I recognize these triggers and what they are doing to me. As mentioned once, I tried an antidepressant and never could get that off the ground as it made me feel funny. Maybe for me "sanity" feels funny. Kidding.
I have noticed from the threads (not so much ours) that anxiety is terrible for people with cancer. Just this fear of something you cannot control! I am actually doing better in that I would have carried on for weeks about my eye as I was afraid it was now in my brain. I tackled it (with a tremendous amount of support from my poor beleagured husband) in 24 hours rather than the weeks of near constant fret.
Thanks everyone for being patient with me as I travel down this bumpy road. Thank you for the lovely holiday cards. That is such a lovely and outgoing gesture and I need to do more things like that.
I also have learned another thing about myself and that is I need to stay on this thread. I "wandered" off and I just cannot handle all the sadness some are facing . We have enough on our plates. I just got so worked up and I started to lose hope about anything when i read about these wonderful people who are sick. I guess another reason why I need a plan for retirement. I just cannot spend so much time reading about people who have such trouble.
Have a great weekend.
Susan

Oh cripe! It's always something...believe me...been there done that. Hang in there dear! You're still a "newbie" with this whole bc dx! Things will get better, really...they will. Would it be at all possible for you to consider trying a different anti-depressant? I've been on Wellbutrin since my dx, and it has really helped. Others here are on Paxil, Cymbalta, and many others. Think about it...perhaps it's an option. I'm sorry about your eye...I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that it heals - god speed! I agree with the Drs re: scans. It took me a long time to understand it, but I finally do. IMO - scans should only be done when very serious symptoms are present. Boy...our husbands have alot in common...THEY BOTH HAVE TO DEAL WITH US! LOL

Hey Susan....
Give yourself a HUGE break! You had the big "C" for cripes sake! And I refer to my anxiety (and I am borrowing from another lady on this forum)...as hamsters in my head. You know..running around, finally climbing on their wheel....it going round and round in your head? I have HAMSTERS in my head, pretty much a lot of the time. I think it is normal and Susan, stay with us. We need you much more than you need us! By the way...exactly what are you bringing to the fort???????
I was offered and filled an RX for antidepressants but after reading all the se's (hey, I'm an RN...give me a break!)...I chose to wait. This was 10 days before chemo started. I never took the first pill. Am I depressed...yeah...hello! I sat under my kitchen table. But I haven't taken that first pill. Talk to me as I get closer to my last herceptin on 1/23!
PS: Pat...I waited and waited for you to come shovel my driveway. Boy...some friend you are! Took me so many primes but I FINALLY got the blower started. No thanks to you! You better be napping peacefully or I am going to have to come down there!!!!!
Hugs and Smiles my girlfriend...hugs and smiles always!0 -
Thank you Laura and Wendy:
Laura, you are just good at just about every thing. I do think "people skills" are way up there. You just get people and you know how to give to them what they need, be that practical or emotional. I admire you.
Wendy: you are so kind and I never thought that sitting under the table was an act of depression. I actually envied you for knowing what to do to comfort yourself. I have shared that story with both daughters and both acknoweldged that there was so much love embedded in that story.
I want to bring oreos and milk to the fort. Forget the wine. Girl Scout shortbreads could also work but we need milk for dipping.
My eye is okay tonight! I think vision is such a control thing. If you lose your breath for a moment you regroup. If you lose your eyesight for a period of time, you panic.
Thanks again!

I do want to clarify that my retina problem is not related to breast cancer or any cancer.

Morning Ladies!
Susan....are you feeling better about everything? I was up about 2AM (thank you arimidex for those lovely night sweats), thinking about you. Please don't stop reading/posting. What I did for a long while was just to come to this thread. I refused to read anything else. I still can't go to the her2neu support website...scared me so bad last winter all I did was cry. Just keep coming here....we're people you know, people who love and care about you. If you don't want to come here.....you have a bunch of e-mail addresses.....you can "talk" to us like that......just don't disappear. OR I WILL COME AND FIND YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh....and I love the double stuff oreos. I have been known to twist them apart and stack up 4 or 5 of them with just the filling on one little wafer...then I throw away the other wafers. I think I am saving calories that way (yeah...right!).
Blackjack....I saw a Dr. Kaklamani at Rush for my 2nd opinion. She was wonderful. Kater and I have the same onc out here in Geneva.
Susan....just read your post again. When I was first dx'd I did nothing but sit in the family room, with the laptop....reading, reading, reading. I even read thru the hospice section, because of course I was dying. And I bet a lot of other girls do the same thing. Just remember.....the internet is great but it is also a lot like a full moon....all the crazies come here. (oops....I guess that means me!). For evey sad cancer story you read, know that there are 1000 happy, survivor stories about people who are doing GREAT. It is a bumpy road, but it gets better. I no longer think about bc every minute of every day. Sometimes I can go 2 hours....but it took me a whole year to get here. Give yourself a break, deep breath...and just read this thread. You are among friends. Any time you want to come sit under my table....well, you have my address. Really. You can come......Hugs!
Hey Pat.....how ya' doing? We got some snow last night, but only about an inch so I will give you a break about the shoveling. Hugs and smiles!

Susan - sorry to hear about your eye. Eyes are a scary thing. We have a lot of eye problems in my family, so it's another thing I worry about. I'm glad you got right to the ER and I'm sure it will clear up for you.
I hear you about wandering off from this thread. I do it often and sometimes it is truly unbearable.
Well, I am officially halfway through rads. I have been feeling a little fatigued this week, but my skin still looks perfect!
Not too much snow last night, but they are predicting another round on Sunday. The kids are sure enjoying it!
Have a great Friday everyone!

Hi again....Rita....Pm's waiting for you.
I just read this on another thread....didn't want you guys to miss it...
The Night Before Chemo
~Heather Warrick
T'was the night before chemo, when all through the room
Not a patient was stirring, from Ativan I presume
The chemo bags were hung on IV poles with care
In hopes that a cure soon would be there
The patients were nestled all snug in their lounge chairs
Sipping Ensure and hugging Relay teddy bears
And the nurse in her scrubs and I in my wig
Had just settled down for another chemo gig
When out in the parking lot there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my chair to see what was the matter
Away to the window I flew like a flash
Tore open the blinds and threw up on the glass
Soothing my nausea with the fresh cool breeze
The wind took my wig and it flew with such ease
When what to my wondering eyes did I see?
Eight tiny nurses giggling with glee
Leading the pack was an oncologist so sweet
With a mission of cancer that they would beat
To help with side effects from chemo we blame
Was his arsenal of drugs that he shouted by name
"Now Xanax!, now Ativan!, now Zofran! and Compazine!
Let's offer comfort with bob bons and magazines
On Vicodin!, on Darvocet!, on Tylenol! And morphine!
Let's make them loopy and make a big scene!"
To the top of Mt. Courage, to the top of Mt. Hope
Now dash away, dash away so we can help cope
With tumors and lesions and lumps it is clear
We must make their cancer finally disappear!
So up to the clinic-top, they flew and flew
With a sleigh full of drugs and the doctor too
Then with a jingling I heard from their purse
Was the prancing and pawing of each little nurse
As I drew in my head and was turning around
In through the vent the doctor came with a bound
His eyes how they twinkled - his dimples so merry
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry
He was dressed all in white with an ugly plaid tie
He preached to the patients, "Do not ask why"
Have courage, choose hope and just think positive
Live, love and laugh and your life will be lucrative
Never forget that you are heroes in my book
Conquering cancer without a second look
With a wink of his eye and a twist of his head
He soon let me know I had nothing to dread
A bundle of drugs he had flung on his back
He looked like a drug dealer opening his pack
He spoke not a word but went straight to work
Making me feel sick, so I called him a jerk
A human pin cushion, I had become
So multiple pokes, again I succumb
But then I remembered, my life he was saving
So I realized I better start really behaving
"What comes around goes around" I always say
And a bad attitude might haunt me one day
I thanked him for fighting with me side by side
With two against one, cancer cannot hide
Then laying his finger aside of his nose
And giving a nod, up the vent he rose
He sprang to his sleigh, gave the nurses a sign
To travel the world fighting cancer like mine
The sleigh was our hope and he was the driver
Bringing strength and good cheer to every survivor
I heard him exclaim as he flew out of sight
Happy Holidays to all and to all a good night!
~Marin

Good afternoon ladies!
Connie...YEAH! HALF WAY DONE and holding your own. You'll make it. You'll probably get a little more tired as you continue but I think you'd have experienced skin problems by now if you were going to have any of them. It won't be long and you'll be a RAD GRAD!!!
Mary Jane...hope everyone is holding up well at your house. Weather permitting, we will be there this evening for visitation. Be anxious to hear about Mary and the baby!
Wendy...loved The Night Before Chemo. Thanks for sharing!
How you doing, Illinois Lady? Still hanging in there?
Susan...hope you eye is better. How scary! Hugs again to you!
I hope all of you are coping well with this hectic holiday season. I think I'll still be wrapping packages on Christmas Eve! YIKES!
Gotta run. Hi to all of you!!!

Hi all,
Oh Susan, it is easy to go paranoid isn't it? I started to worry that the rotten way I was feeling was due to how I gave myself the Neupogin ingections. Well, just know that God doesn't make junk. He didn't bring you here to leaving you hanging off a cliff. I'm a firm believer in that there is a good reason for everything---but yes, sometimes it's obscured and hard to find. I generally think to myself when I can't figure it out.......ok God, I'm about to take a leap of faith. I'll never drop you and I know you won't drop me. Then I try to put it on a shelf ( somehow when I worry less the answer comes quicker ) and let it lay.
Rita, I'm hanging in there after a real crummy day yesterday. Tried to go to work--made it two hours. Then got burpie--then extremely urpie. Had to have my boss take over so I could come home. Tried to drink a little---sure couldn't eat anything, but later after a couple of long doses my tummy let go of all the liquid. Bummer. Cleaned it up....hopped back up in my reclier and slept til' Denny got home at 9 p.m. Thought I'd stay awake and visit with him......fell back asleep and got up for a bath room break at 11.......then into bed and didn't get up til 6:30 this morning. I think I slept for about 16 hours or so there........must have needed it. Today, though it's hard still to drink much, I managed to eat an egg. First solid food since Tuesday night and am doing Kool-Aid jels and white toast and applesauce and hopefully I can start in tomorrow with more solids. So...........it's been not so hot, but the alternative is not so hot either so I'll just keep working til' it's all figured out.
Wendy, I loved the poem too.
Connie, I too plan to stick with all you Illinois gals. I need the upbeat sense of humor since ( I'm not sure why ) I lost my sense of humor for awhile and was just working my way back to it when I found out I had the big C-----we probably thought we were all immune to such a thing.
I have good support here in my neighbors and friends.....a dh who will put up with most anything, but I need something else and you gals are it. We are all in the same boat and it's not the Titanic. We will hold each other up so high that nothing bad can happen. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Hopefully, I'm on the mend from my rather disastrous two days. My thoughts are with you all.
Love, IllinoisLady-----Jackie

Thanks for the kind words. My eye is better although I still have these "things" flying across out of the clear blue. I feel like I need a fly swatter
! Sadly, I would be swatting at nothing! The doctor told me that this "rip" or tear" would provide quite a show for me for awhile. It is when the curtain is drawn that I need to worry. He said my chances were very good that the rip wil repair itself (I think he said 1-50 turn out that they need surgery so 49 go on to original vision). It actually repairs itself. The "visions" are disturbing but I was back to work again. Wendy, I will always stay with this thread. I get hope from people here. I just went overboard in darker areas and got depressed. It is just healthier for me to avoid some internet reading. I get into a funk and then it gets hard.
Laura, thank you for updating the list of people. I so apprecate that.
I was wondering about mother of four (name was even longer) and I am wondering why we never heard back from her. Or maybe we did. She was the one who was overseas and she was collecting her records in Chicago to deal with her issues. Any one have any idea?
Tomorrow Paul and I are involved in a service project for new immigrants from some Latin American country. It will feel good to be involved with something positive, although I am terribe painter and that is what we are doing...painting a house. Maybe I could clean brushes.
I want to mention something that happened that was so moving. I have a cat and when I was in a panic trying to get a sub, cancel on the lady who straightens my house and get to the emergency room because of my eye, my cat looked up at me so soulfully. She really knew something was wrong and her look was actually one of compassion. The cat belongs to my daughter who needed to move it on as the cat was having anxiety issues because of the collicky baby. I never had pets and now I understand how you animal lovers just appreciate your animals so much. They really are intuitive, aren't they?
Later,Susan

Wendy - SO nice of you to copy all and send it to Pat! I know it's a ton of work and I really appreciate your efforts! Thanks for being so nice to Pat.
Rita - What more can I say to you...your thoughtfulness continues. Your selfless qualities continue to shine through. Thanks for EVERYTHING!
Susan - I have to admit...I could not stop laughing as I visualized you swatting "nothing, nada, thin air, etc.,".
kats, everyone, have a great weekend.

Hi all,
Susan you are so right about the pets---they are so perceptive in ways most of us can't be. And---they do feel for you very much. They only want to give love and hopefully receive it back. I read a study one time that told how long you would have to beat a dog before it would stop trying to inspire some show of love and care from you---in other words---keep loving YOU no matter what. I was incredulous. Animals are called man's best friend for a reason.
Laura, I get such a big kick out of your're saying " It's always something". Hope it's not a downer to anyone but Gilda Radner who was a female comic and her husband Gene Wilder who was a comic as well use to work at the Comedy Club and Saturday Night Life. Gilda got ovarian cancer and was writing a book before she sadly left us and the name of the book was " It's Always Something ". I am so sad that she was not able to 'pull through' but everytime I hear you say that phrasre I think of the hours of laughter I had with Gilda and I'm sure that is why she was on this earth.
Here's one for the books of people who may be rooting for you. My ex called again this evening as he often does to check up on me. He is a very sweet and basically good person---just the alcohol addiction way back then too much for me after ten years. But, he introduced me to DH # 2 and my life has been good ever since---you know there are a lot of stories in this somewhere, but I thought hey, why not. It might have some cheering power in some strange way for some of you. Actually, at time of marital demise we talked it over and decided there was no reason we couldn't be friends and he remarried same day I did. Ok---nuff' of the silly stuff---something dumped it in my head and I thought I'll pass it on just in case. Hope you don't all write and say I've gotten delirious and apparently don't realize it.
Cheers, see you tomorrow.
Jackie

Morning Girls!Hey Pat....it's 17 degrees out here in South Elgin...would you be a sweetie and run out and get my newspaper? Thanks!
Susan...OK...I'm like Laura. I can see you just swatting at bugs, except of course only YOU can see them! Try not to do that in public tho, OK? The men in the little white coats might come and take you away and we would miss you. But glad you are feeling better about things and it sounds like your eye will probably be OK.
Jackie...I am so sorry Ann and Cyd are giving you a hard time this visit. And I am glad you have such a great support system. I wish for you an "urp-free" weekend!Also...loved your comment about the Titanic. Someone else here uses this as her signature line "There is a light at the end of the tunnel and it's NOT an on-coming train". I like that one too.
Connie....half-way done? WooooooHoooooo!
MaryJane....how are things, everybody doing as OK as they can? Baby here yet? Send pictures!!!
Kater....how's your Mom? She started chemo again yesterday...I think I've got that right.
Nicki....you OK? Miss you but I did read a post of yours last week. You were very moving.
Kats...we still on for the 14th at Springhill Mall? Anybody else?
Blackjack...did you get your inj. for pain? Did it work? Sure hope so!
Everybody I've missed....hope you are well and happy. Stay warm, girlfriends.
Well...Pat....seems you decided to sleep in and that's OK. I'll get my own paper this morning. You stay bundled up and cozy. Hugs and smiles always!
