Thanks for the tips but so far nothing is working and tomorrow first thing I will call for antibiotics. I told the dentist I would need them, damn and they gave me a rinse instead that didn't do a thing, still using it but don't know why.
5 children, holy moly, how do you do it, wow. I had two and that was enough, but I was also mom on the block, my way of keeping them close so I would know they were alright. Where they grew up we would have -30 to -40 in winter as a standard so I always had the rec room full, loud and messy. Boy I do miss the north though the summers are sooo worth the winters. At least I could enjoy them I find now that I'm in Southern Ontario close to the Great Lakes, it gets so humid you can't enjoy the heat once it gets here, well I can't. You know what you guys I just want a normal day, I want to crave an ice cold beer, that's when I'll know I'm better a beer craving how silly is that, but it's the truth, I haven't craved a beer in so long so after all this crap, if I post that I'm craving an ice cold Rickard's Red, remind me that I said it really means I must be B9.

Snowyday , hugs to you. Sorry you're in such pain. Hope they give you something tomorrow. And I hope that beer craving comes real soon. I'll have and ice cold mich ultra and toast to you!

Honeygirl,
I love it! That looks like my kids if you add about 2dozens more clothing items and food and glasses to the mix! I have not been myself with the cleaning somedays I just do not have the mental energy! So this once a month cleaning has been it!
Thanks you make me feel better!!
Isabella- You give me hope that they will all be sort of gone and come for visits sometime in the future!!!
Hannah - I love you and you do not need to hide! It is the kids I want to kill! Your right it is that sexy cop husbands fault! Tonite with my hips killing me, my expanders feeling like they are going to make a run for it and explode out of my chest! I may have to remind him this is your fault!!! LOL! I won't, but oh the housework has kicked my butt today!
But I do feel better! Maybe I am a little like Felix Unger! but I swear you have to stay on top of it with this many kids! Or even fewer! Everything in its place and things run smoothly!
Thanks girls! I love my kids, I love my kids, I love my kids!!!
Keep telling myself that! LOL!!!!

gsq...lol funny. wishing you a big big walk in fridge.
thank you all for support on the "inconclusive" liver mass....for distraction pre-biopsy, did I mention the convertible? yes, went to rent a car and darn it, they didn't have the teensy economy tin can I'd reserved for $15 a day, instead they just HAD to upgrade me to a nice, solid convertible. and of course it was 70-plus degrees out in SEATTLE of all places, and so I got to drive around with the top down. So ladies, all I can say is - if you really need distraction, go do something really FUN! The wind even ruffled my hair.

Snowday- I am pissed right there for you girl! I can not wait to hear you have had the ice cold one! I will join honeygirl in a Mich ultra and toast to you my friend!!! Here is hoping you join us soon!
AnnNYC- Yeah, like what the hell was I thinking? Oh well I just am having that weird "nesting" like we do before babies! Only my current is what I do before "foobies"! Oh I crack myself up with that one!!!!
I will let you all know how the new girls look after surgery this thursday the 17.

It's hard to stay too bitchy reading this thread LOL
That being said, my left butt cheek is KILLING me! Like, can barely walk killing me. How in the world does one injure their butt cheek, and only one of them to boot? Speaking of boots, that's what it feels like, like someone kicked me really hard in the left butt cheek. OOOWWWWW!!!!!
And my ear hurts. And my feet are cold. And my fingertips keep doing that thing where no blood gets to them. I actually got a little scared today at the grocery store because the top one third of just one finger turned completely white, no blood in it at all. It was freaky. And my lips are chapped ("real bad" as Napolean Dynamite would say)
Dani - God bless you girl, it's a wonder you have any sense of humor left at all. I so know that "ok mom" - translation "man is she out of her mind today" look. My son is 12, and he is still taking off his socks all over the house. I find them EVERYWHERE! You know how certain things make you crazy? This is making me crazy. What kind of person just randomly takes their socks off and sticks them in the couch cushions, on the book shelves, on the coffee table, under the furniture, etc. I mean, seriously, what is wrong with him?!?!??!
0 -
cmb: My son turned 13 last week. Yesterday, I pulled up a chair cushion to try to vacuum up the cat hair that is caked on it (housecleaning is not a priority) and jammed behind the cushion was a plate. A dirty plate. This ranks right up there with the "yogurt-making" experiments in his bedroom (I'm sure you know what a glass of milk turns into in about a week.) If you figure out what's wrong with yours, plese let me know.

Oh the joys of hotflashes and teens!!! Boy, I tell ya, if I'm as lucky as my mom I'll have them for 10yrs!!! I never thought I could get sweat in some of those places I get sweat now when one overtakes me. You can feel the fire burning from the core of your being and working it's burning heat outwards and upwards rudely wakening you from a dead sleep till your in a frenzy throwing everything off till it passes then freezing you try to cover back up and just pop off to sleep when ...WHAMM...there comes another! I felt like a zombie during the day for lack of sleep from months and months of this infernal night sweats(oh day too) till I begged my doctor for mercy, please give me something!!!! OMG.....a couple days of that magic little pill and I was in heaven! Now I want to cry because I can't have it anymore........ohhhh noooooo.....who's got the ice????
Teens & 20's.....I'm already dreading the prospect of "Hurricane Helen's" return from university along with a friend this time!! Help!! Her room always looks like Mount Vesuvius erupted all over it. I don't know how she even finds the bed, it becomes lost in the avalanche that spews forth from every corner of her room! Must be a secret class they take at school........101 ways to be messier than your room mates!
Bring on the hotflashes!!! I Love my kids, I love my Kids, Oh ya, I love when they go back to school!

Well I got fired up and after practicing with voodoo doll I became possessed and started looking up every phone number I could!! Cancer Center, Medical Records at 2 places, Pathologist, Release of info Specialist, GP and Surgeon...the 2 later I already have been calling. Tomorrow the phone is going non stop till I get some answers.....I am really mad now and feeling totally neglected. Another 2 days and it's 4 weeks since mastectomy and I still don't have my report! I need more than just a stiff drink now! I really want to cry from all this frustration.

I am laughing my arse off to the point of tears flowing down my face. I haven't visited this thread often, but I will every day from now on!
And, yes, cancer sucks. It's good to have a place to gripe and also to laugh at ourselves.
I feel like an intruder. But I wanna say you gals rock! And, HannaB, YOU are hilarious!
I have a small gripe. One of our four cats had to have surgery. She had two small kidney stones. It cost $900!

cmb, the sock thing drives me insane too! My DH, DD, and both DS's leave them anywhere they feel like. The worse place, I quite often find them on the kitchen table. One of these days I'll serve them to the owner on a plate for dinner!!
Dani good luck with the teens and your surgery.
Traci, sugar!? Who the f..k puts sugar in someone's gas tank?? That triple sucks!! And I so agree about not being able to go back to read things. It makes it really hard to respond to everyone.
Pearl I hope the antibiotics help soon.
My bitch today is a sore shoulder. It has been getting progressively worse over the last two weeks and is keeping me up at night with the pain. I've tried taking nsaids, tylenol. I've tried heating pad, A535, massage chair. Nothing, it just keeps getting worse. Now it hurts from my neck down my shoulder blade and into the shoulder. I don't know what to do. I've been trying to ignore it but it's not going away. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ladies and hope everyone has a no dead kittens, or sugar in the gas tank kind of day!!

Dani, I don't know how you cope at all! Here you are having had serious surgeries and heading into another and your family isn't doing all it can to make things easier for you???
How about some tough love? No cleaning up, no clean laundry, no rides to wherever, no (fill in the blanks). If that doesn't work, say you're going to clean up whatever is out of place and throw it out. Follow through. How else are you going to impress those kids? Wow, I am amazed. It may be their room, but it's your house. You are still the parent.
Wishing you the best for your surgial "date" and recovery.

kiki: is it possible you have frozen shoulder? I lived with one for more than a year...then when i was diagnosed with bc, my surgeon told me i had to get it taken care of before i started everything. went in and got a cortisone shot...instant relief. then went to physical therapy just 2 times and it was fixed. i couldn't believe i had lived with horrible pain for so long and it was that easy to take care of. Mine had gotten to the point that I had trouble putting a coat on and it would wake me up at night.
the other thing is i have a shiatsu massager that really digs into the muscles. it's not exactly this one, but similar. it has done wonders for sore shoulder and neck pain for me.

Hope you're able to get some relief.

My bitch is that today was one of those days. Nagging headache, muscle aches, fatigue, even was short of breath when I was walking. I could have stayed in bed all day. Cant believe this still happens 3 years later.
As I read all your posts, I realized my whine is nothing compared to what some of you are going through. Bigs hugs to everyone.
The picture of the boy room? Haha I laughed so hard.
Thanks for making me smile.

Yep, there's a problem with this site. I hope the mods are aware of it. I thought it was my puter.
My gripe is nothing compared to finding a gas tank full of sugar. That really sucks!
Deb, didn't think about saving the stones for future use. Well, they've already sent them off to find out what kind of stones they are. And now I get to spend money on the LE therapist tomorrow. Deductible hasn't kicked in yet. But that's minor compared to others' problems here.
My gripe, I'm so tired from my company this weekend (but I did enjoy them). I've been cat napping on and off all day. Sure glad I don't have a "real" job.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD!?! Sugar in the gas tank!?! Crazydaisy having a mast four weeks ago and not hearing anything!?!
WTF!? Well I hope the what goes around , comes around karma bites them right in the a$$! I know my 3 to 5 day wait was hard for me after mast , I can't even imagine 4 wks. Crazy , I would go to the surgeons office and tell them you are not leaving until he/she talks with you. And Traci , do you have any idea who would do something like that? I would be madder than hell if someone messed with my car like that. I'm so sorry that this is happening. So glad you are "getting out of dodge" soon.
Dani , good luck the 17th. I'll be thinkin about you. Getting your foobs!lol I love that word!
Kiki , I had an all day surgery with my recon , and I ended up with a herniated disk that lead to a pinched nerve and had to take nuerotin for a month. gsg , I have a shiatsu massager too , but it agravated the pain more when I used it because of the pinched nerve. My pain went from my neck , then to my shoulder then into my arm. Does your pain travel like that Kiki? If it is keeping you from sleeping or doing everyday things it might be time to see the doc. Good luck.
Shirley , 900 bucks for 2 kidney stones for your cat does suck! Debs right , I would have made jewelry out of them!lol Take care all.xx

WOW!! These are all good gripes!!
Shirley, $900 IS alot for those stones!! Maybe they can let you have them after they are done testing them...
MY gripe today is that I drove OVER AN HOUR, to Wilmington, to the hospital for a breast MRI, and they CANCELLED it and DIDN'T call me in enough time to stop me from driving up there....FOR NOTHING!! Then, the woman asked if I wanted her to reschedule, and I said "WHY, if you're just gonna CANCEL anyway?" O, I M SO pissed!! Then, after I got home, I waited til I calmed down, and called to reschedule, at 4:30pm, only to find out that they had already rescheduled me for Wednesday at 10:00, without even calling to tell me!!!!
GRRRR.....
Ok, I feel better now...

For heaven's sake. What has the world come to?
First, Viv, go on down to that daggone hospital, read the directory on the wall for where in the heck the pathology lab is and go to it, walk in the door and tell them you'd like a copy of your path report. Have your picture ID available. Stand there and think calm, powerful thoughts. You DO have the right to this information in report form on paper once they sign off on it!! With the pathologist's signature.
If they tell you it hasn't been signed off on yet...then ask why has it not been signed off on in one month's time?!!! What are they waiting for - the end of time? If you get the runaround, you go on up to the hospital's administration offices. You will likely encounter an administrative assistant person with a computer, a phone and flowers on the desk unless it's a guy. You pleasantly introduce yourself and ask for a signed copy of your month old mastectomy pathology report. Tell them you will wait - then plunk yourself down (like a nice lady
..) on a nearby chair to where this front desk person is and just wait. And wait. You stay there and wait till this problem is solved or I will just have to come on up to Canada on my soon to be horse like a Canadian Mounty and find you still sitting there and I will get the report for you because I will have a horse with me tied up outside!! That will get their attention! Unless all Canadians travel by horse! Still, I have faith you can do this! Viv! Git in there tomorrow!! Just get in your vehicle and drive there and park and go in. March right on past the information desk where those people sit who try to interrogate you for 10 minutes. Go straight to the directory on the wall. Well....if there's no directory on the wall, then you can ask the desk people. You can do this! If they start to make trouble, you smack the counter with your palm and say, "Enough! I'm simply here for my pathology report that surely must be ready after one month's time!" Then just sit and wait. Or pace around. Wear sunglasses! It could be you are not living like a true crazydaisy. Try a little crazy if they don't respond to sanity!
Hanna
ps - What in the heck kind of send-off is that to be getting sugar put in your gas tank in Florida?!?? Who does that?!
I swear. And 2 kidney stones in a cat that costs $900 to get out! And how do they do that? In us poor humans, don't they just give pain killers a big glass of water and expect us to pee them out? And Pearl, how is your infected tooth hole?
Oh, this is just too much. Too much. Plus I spelled wear WHERE?? And I'm OC enough to have to edit it!

Neesie,
You fit right in!!! It does seem you can at least keep your sense of humor with all that Femara in you! It can't take that away! (Isn't there a song that says that????)
Honeygirl- Thanks for wishing me well! I DO FEEL KINDA OF ANGRY! I guess it is because I am back to normal pretty much after the drama. You know bilateral blah blah blah, heart procedure blah blah blah! Now I get to get knocked down again by the exchange, a few weeks from that total hyster and instant menopause and in between Yeah I got scheduled for my first colonoscopy!!!!!! Wahooo!!
But I do realize that I am lucky! I just want all this crap, (funny colonoscopy crap, weeee to funny) over with sooooon!
So I can go back to cleaning and not freaking out with my piglets!!
Tina- You are absolutely right about it being my house and they should help more!!! They do have chores work and school for the three older ones. Usually chores get done with not to much complaining, but their rooms Well........ Well, that is another story! I will say they have been a bit of a disappointment to my hubby and I through all of this! Very self centered a few of them especially my 17 year old.
Friends and family say they are reeling, my best friend, their second Mom died Jan 11 07 of colon cancer we all were very shocked over this she was only 44yrs old. It was a terrible terrible thing to go through for all of us! I took it very hard! I was there for her for everything and until she died but still hard to believe she is gone.
Anyway my kids took that hard as we all did, very close neighborhood been together 15 yrs, well my kids also lost their grandfather to prostate cancer a few years before Barbara died. so all they know about cancer is death. So they may be a little freaked!
We talk about mine being early and all, but some of them say they just don't believe anything Dr's say.
Oh well there I go making a long post again sorry!!!
Traci- Shall I come down there and Bi*&h slap someone for you???
Sugar in the gas tank, my god some one is an Assh&^*!!!!
Bye,
Dani

I had to fight for my "report" for my mammo and ultrasound report. I went to my primary and he didn't have it. I was so mad, sooooooo I marched my butt right over to the radiology place. They did NOT want to give me the report. I knew what it said (basically). I told them they had not sent it to my primary doc. They said they did. I said they didn't. They said they lied! Can you believe that. I knew the report was BAD. The lady didn't want me to have it because she said that if I got upset after reading it and fainted or had an accident or hurt myself....or whatever...they would be responsible. I said I was not going to hurt myself.....that I knew what the report said....and that IT WAS MY RIGHT TO HAVE MY REPORT! She went to the head of something and I had to sign for it. HAHAHA! I got my report and ran back over to my primary so they could copy it. And, when I now get my mammos (it didn't catch my bc in March..I found it in Dec of the same year) I tell the techs that I want the report they give the docs...not the report they give me that says EVERYTHING'S okay. I want to read every word of it..like...dense breast so I can continue telling my onc that I have A dense breast. And that I don't trust mammos.
So, take HannaB's advice and march your butt down there and get your path report. IT IS YOURS!
Shirley
Cats must have different ways of getting rid of stones. She was on a wet food. They wanted to see if it would dissolve. Needless to say it didn't. Thus the surgery. Do you know what we could have done with that $900!? And now we're told she can never had dry food again. And I have three other cats who eat dry food...or at least they used to eat dry food! And she does nibble on dry food cuz it's down there for the others.

Oh Dani honey, you make me laugh too! I swear you ARE nesting for your new foobies! Everytime a thing comes up like giving birth or having some "procedure" that involves some kind of anesthestic when I don't know how long it will be before I'm normal again - whatever THAT is - I get nesting too! Gotta clean, gotta clean everything. Gotta be sure the house is full of toilet paper and those cleaning wipes and plenty to drink and frozen meals. It is so much work to get ready it's a relief to get knocked out. Then is supposed to come "princess time", but what...how long does THAT last? Like one day maybe? Then everybody in my house starts walking around in circles again and can't figure anything out. That's when the lightbulb goes out in the frig and nobody can see what's in there and they gotta come to me to ask for a flashlight! To see where the juice is?! You really got a pile to wade through don't you?
Oh Shirlann, can't you just see that $900 going for a new washer/dryer or new family room carpet? Instead it goes to those furballs we do anything for. I so understand. I have two vets now I owe money to. The shit hit the fan with the critters getting sick and needing surgery so now I'm on a payment plan. I don't know how you're gonna keep the kidney stone cat away from the dry food. That'll get you walking around in circles. Poor you honey.

Hey cmb35, I been meaning to tell you my husband't got that same thing with the white finger! Cold and looks like no blood in there? It's called Raynauds or something. It is weird and makes your hands cold and sometimes the dh can't even feel his fingertip! You could put a pin in it and he won't feel a thing! Plus his food has to be all bland all the time. Do you have that too? I was wondering if this is a combo problem. You let me know ok?
Hanna 0 -
Traci - Honestly, sugar in the gas tank? That is something people do in the movies, not in real life. What is in the water down there?
Viv - Yes, it's definitely time to go park yourself there for the day, with a pleasant, sweet and patient smile on your face. Bring a really big book or some knitting or whatever to occupy you. (I have also found that crying is effective, freaks them right out. LOL)
Hanna - yes, Reynauds, I've always had it, but I swear it is much worse now (since chemo?) I'm not sure about the spicy food connection, I love spicy food, and I eat it all the time. I get stomach aches a lot, and I have IBS. (Remember when that seemed like a lot to deal with? Those were the days!) So frankly, spicy food probably should not be on the top of my list. LOL
Neesie - sorry about the dental crap, my appt is coming up soon and I'm dreading it, cause I can tell more teeth are coming loose. Freakin chemo, it better darn well have zapped all those cancer cells along with whatever it's done to my teeth!
Harley - I certainly hope you didn't get charged a co-pay! Nice of them to reschedule and not tell you. Glad they ask you for your home phone, cell phone, and emergency contact's phone but don't use them.
I forget what my gripe is, I had one too! Freakin' chemo (did I already say that?)

Traci, sugar in the gas tank?!!! Wow!
cmb35
Yes, they had my cell phone #, too! But, only one problem... my batteries were low... so they couldn't reach me! But, she LIED, because she told me that she called my cell, and I NEVER got the message she said she left... Why do they lie, when we can prove them wrong?
Oh, well... I will go back on Wed., but I'm not expecting to REALLY get the breast MRI.... I won't believe it til it actually happens!
OH, and another thing... I STILL don't have my nipples yet!! and to think... If I had used my dh's nipples, like I told my surgeon I wanted to do, I'd be FINISHED now!! but NO, I have to go back on May 22nd, to get the nipples reattached!!
Wow... I didn't realize, but once I get started, I can't seem to stop!
Hope everyone has a bitch - gripefree day tomorrow!
