Oh my, what horrible suckies going on! A BIG OL" THAT SUCKS TO each involved and hoping it leaves you soon, or you have solutions for them!
Sucky world better shape up and start sending GOOD VIBES to the ladies on this thread, and SOON!
{{hugs}} to you all.
MY IOS is that I have to call and REMIND my GYN that he's got to do his job! I'm thinking perhaps I'll send them a bill. Maybe if I'm feeling nice when I write it out, I'll just charge him the normal $30 co-pay and NOT more!
Idiot DOCS! DId I mention, I HATE DOCS!0 -
Hmmm! All suckiness is not breast cancer related.
I think when I hurt my ankle I broke it. Hurts like heck and now I hear a clicking when I walk. Aint going to no doctor though until after my vacation is over.
Tried to go swimming today. Water temperature was 70 degrees. Way too cold but figured swim a little and I would get used to it. Pushed off with my right foot and it hurt like heck. So there I was in the cold water, in pain, and unable to swim.
My plum tomato disappeared. At first I thought it was one of those brown baby squirrels who stole it. After raising my hands and ranting, raving at the trees - I realized it fell off. I need to replant it!
Working late, getting up late - no computer time - that sucks.
Traci and Hanna: Thank you for the laugh.
Everyone else, a big that sucks and hopefully I will catch up in the morning.

Howdy all - and a hearty that sucks to all who need it.
I sure do. My family seems to think my only function in life is to serve their every freaking need. After about the millionth time cooking then cleaning all the damn dishes, I announced that I was DONE and all who'd be hungry tomorrow in the pm would have to fend for themselves. Lazy asses! Both my son and h2b washed out the dish, glass and fork they used and that's it. WTF?!? There are no little cleaning gnomes that come in after we're all asleep to tidy up. Crap - I buy the damn food, lug the sh*t into the house, cook it and STILL have to clean up?!? Triffling chuckleheads...
I'm needing to follow my own advice here and remember that people will treat you as badly as you let them, so I'm not playing anymore. I'm not the only one who lives in this house or eats here so why the heck am I the only one who cleans it? Grrrrrrr!!
Whew! That felt good!

Hey everybody!!! Felecia, that sucks!! And I know just how you feel. I live with my husband and father-in-law. My DH (D is no for dear) inherited the sloppy gene from his dad. I am the only one who cleans up the house. I finally went BALLISTIC on their a$$es and they looked at me like I was crazy but they got the damn point. And it does feel good.

I've been in hiding the past few weeks and I'm way behind on this thread. Anyone still remember me? Seems like an eternity...I had my hysterectomy/oopherectomy on Friday. Except for now having a bladder infection I feel ok. A few minor issues with the whole thing, but all in all, I am ok. Last Wednesday I told three of my kids about me being BRCA 2 and my upcoming surgery. They took it pretty bad and I felt like crap. My youngest, who is 17, says she wants to be tested because if she's positive for this gene that she will never have kids. Rip out a mothers heart. After things calmed down she's dealing with this new reality. I told my oldest today. His dad died of pancreatic cancer at 48. I told him this is a choice he has to make if he chooses to get tested and what he'll do with the results, as he has a daughter and one due in September.
How and when did life get so dang complicated? It's been 15 months of surgeries, pain and ugly scars. My body aches and I want to crawl into bed and sleep. Guess it's time for pain meds and something to help me sleep. Life has taken such a drastic turn and I need to figure out which way is up...

Hey all and a great big THAT SUCKS to everyone!!
HannahB - "Elephant butt print"??? BWAHAHAHA! I can see it now...did they ever come and fix it? My older dd once pulled the "red cord" hanging down from the garage door (for those of you that don't have them, it releases the door) and it fell onto the top of my new car! It was o.k., but she never touched it again.
Nicki - I could probably get someone to give me a temporary handicap sign, but it would only give me about 200 yards. I work at a really large facility and have to truck across the entire "campus" - how about one of those wheelie things instead? Now that would be cool!
O.K., now listen to my other crap: Yesterday I tried to cancel a hotel reservation I had made over the weekend only to find out that I didn't read the fine print finely enough and it is the hotel's policy to charge a one-night stay if I changed it before 4 PM on July 5 (it was only for one night anyway). If I changed it after 4 PM, they would charge me 100% of the stay (didn't you do that anyway!?!). However, I thought it said I could make any changes before July 5 and not be charged, which is the only reason I made the reservation in the first d&*n place.
But that's not what I'm complaining about. It's the treatment of the site (it's hotels.com, don't ever use them) that is really pissing me off!!! First of all, I don't think any of the "customer care representatives" really care about anything! Especially the one I talked to first last night, who basically told me I was stupid and couldn't read (oooo, if only I'd been in front of him with a shovel!!). One of the shining moments came today (because yes, I'm still dealing with it today...and tomorrow) when one of these so-called representatives told me "You need to call back when it's business hours. I can't do anything with the hotel until it's business hours." Now, I live in California and the hotel in question is also in California. It was (brace yourselves) 2:30 in the freaking afternoon!! I had had it. I said "Well, I don't know where you are, but I'm in California and as far as I know, 2:30 in the afternoon is still business hours!" WTH?! I wouldn't really care if it wasn't for the $330 they were charging me for the night I will never spend there!! Aaaarrrrggghh. Like I need their crap on top of everything else - just give me my frigging money back and I won't kill you!!
O.K., whew, I'm better now. Hoping for mild to none IOS's tomorrow...

Linda,
So sorry for your suckiness, and of course I remember you! The bladder infection sucks, the ooph sucks, your dd's reaction sucks, the fact that you are positive sucks, the past year and a half sucks. I wish I could make it all go away.
(((Linda))))
Love,
Sue

Oh, boy...lots of IOS to go around. THAT SUCKS, y'all!
Now, my crap:
A family friend and her grandson are in the hospital today fighting for their lives. They were stopped on the interstate because a road crew was trimming trees. A tractor trailer didn't see them in time and slammed into their car. There were several cars involved in the accident and at least 8 people are in the hospital right now--most of them critical. I saw the images of the aftermath on the news last night and it was absolutely the worst wreck I have ever seen. The grandson is only 11 years old. His liver was severely damaged and the impact was so great it ripped the valves in his heart!
That was yesterday morning. Yesterday evening dh calls to tell me my oldest son (dh and son work together) will be going to the hospital to see his friend (girl, but not "girlfriend"). She had been attacked by an ex-boyfriend...stabbed and slashed all over her body! Thankfully, most of the wounds were superficial and none of them were life-threatening. When ds returned from the hospital he was too drained and upset to even talk about it. I cannot imagine how awful it must have been for this 17 year old girl to be attacked like that! I'm also now worrying that my ds will be a target because of their friendship.
Lastly, although it pales in comparison to the previous two IOS: well, even though I found a pain med that doesn't make me puke, it doesn't help the pain either! UGH...how many people don't get relief from MORPHINE?!?! So, I'm back to taking what works--even though I'm on the verge of throwing up every second of the day. ICK
Big (((HUGS))) and a colossal "THAT SUCKS!" to you all,
Diane

HOLY MACKEREL ~ This is way more suckiness than I imagined...
Linda - good to see you back - I'm sorry about the whole gene thing, I can't imagine how hard it is to tell children...I hope a little time to absorb lightens your dd stance.
Christine - careful, your going to catch your cape on fire ! Don't you just wish you has some bewitched powers so you could clobber people through the phone?
Diane - Can not even imagine what you and your friends family are going through - Prayers will be said, that is just a horrible thing!
BIG (((HUGS))) to all of you...I'm not even posting my ISO today - I'm just going to thank Jesus it's so insignificant...

WTF is IOS and ISO??????????????
Diane...that poor little boy....that sucks.
Felicia, here's a trick that I used on my ex that really worked. I bought a card and wrote a note in it about him having to do his share. It totally worked. He thought I was just giving him a nice I love you card. He read my note and really took it to heart. And, it lasted. He always helped after that. Sometimes, he would slack but more often than not, he didn't.
Everybody else....((((hugs))))

Traci,IOS is Issues of Suckiness... I guess they put it backwards, with ISO... Glad that your note worked. I'll have to try it sometime, when my dh starts to slack off again.
Diane,
So sorry to hear about your friends' accident! That truly SUCKS! They will be in my prayers. And I continue to pray for you also.
Linda,
Sending HUGS your way, and you are in my prayers, too. BC SUCKS!! It takes so much away from us! It is just so unfair! I'm sorry that your kids are having to think about what happens IF they have this gene. They shouldn't have to worry about this crap, they are TOO young!! They should be out, enjoying their lives.
There is just too much suckiness here today, but I will only add that JULY has entirely too many dr. appts. for me!! I am going to enjoy August, when I hope to have NO dr. appts!!
0 -
Diane, how awful. Such horrific stuff in just a few days! I do hope your son is ok. I hope the perpetrator is locked behind bars for a long time. I cannot get over the violence in youth today! If you find any meds that don't make you throw up, let me know. I puked my guts out yesterday after taking Lortab.
Christine, I don't like Hotels.com either. I booked online and then there was a message to take $10.00 your next order if you filled out a questionaire. I did and then next credit card bill, I had some membership in some type of club. I NEVER agreed to anything like that. Luckily, it was only $9.95 and the CC company removed it. $330 for a hotel room for one night! Wow, CA is really high. That's what it costs to stay in the ritziest hotel in Nashville on New Year's Eve! If you did it w/ a credit card, call them. maybe they can help.
Just had my first fill today. I am now at 100cc and still pretty flat. I am going to ask for 80cc next time so I only have 5 more to go. We are going to a convention this weekend and I will be swimming in the pool. Flat chested, nearly hairless, and slightly overweight. Should be a nice sight. But I don't care. I deserve a treat!
Not a lot to complain about except for the lack of rain here. My yard is brown and flowers are wilting. Watering does not help.
Traci, how are your insurance woes going? Or have I missed a post?
Debbie

I'm in denial on my insurance IOS (LMAO!!!!!) and so therefore am ignoring the situation entirely.
I'll worry about that in August when Harley has no appts.
Debbie, you made me laugh with your pool details. You go girl!

Yogi, it shouldn't take our heads spinning around to make a point about the cleaning of the house. Sometimes I feel like they think I'm SUPPOSED to do everything in the house because I'm female. Ummm....no.
Linda, sorry to hear about your most recent surgery and bladder infection. That sucks! I hope your family comes to grips with the BRCA results. Tough news for sure...
Deb - sending a wave your way from the right (as in not left) coast...
Christine, your post just confirms what I've believed for a while now: that customer service - whether online, via phone or in person - has gone the way of the dinosaur. Truly pathetic and it so, so sucks that you have to pay for a hotel room you'll never visit. What ever happend to "the customer is always right?"
Hoping all is cool with you - or at least isn't too sucky - Sue...
Diane, crap just keeps on coming at you - and that sucks. Sorry to hear about your friend and her grandson and your son's friend. Prayers going up for the three of them and your son as well...
Nice try, Flyrzfan, but you didn't post your IOS. Same goes for you, Hanna and Harley. "No IOS too samll" should be this thread's motto...
Traci, these fellas would read the card, say "Oh, that was sweet, Mom/Honey!" then leave it on the counter or something resulting in even MORE crap that has to be cleaned. Grrrr!!
Deb, have a blast this weekend. The end of my expansion - with one side nearly square and higher than the other - happened during summer. I, too, said "Screw it!" and jumped right on in, crooked boobs and all...
Hey Shirley and Nicki. where are you?

Felicia, just you stick to your guns about cooking and housework.....make 'em help you.
I was just soooo sick of cooking, I have hated it since I was a teenager, just had no interest in it at all, I announced that when I reached 60 that was that...I gave 2 YEARS notice what was happening, and the day I hit 60 I just would not cook another thing.
DH was NOT at all pleased, he thought his way out of it was to do his own meal, and let me fend for myself, or starve, he thought I would relent!!! We had a real 5 star shout out , result is he now cooks for both of us. He also tried the 'I'll wash my own plate/knife/fork/mug, you can do yours' completely forgetting that all the cooking utensils were to do as well !! This really made him mad, he saw no reason at all that he should actually clear up and clean the cooking things after himself. Now he grudgingly loads the dishwasher, always the wrong way, I'm sure he does this on purpose. I always have to go sort things out, but NOT when he can see me!
I'd live on sandwiches and salads if I were alone , not much effort there.....or eat out, much better idea.
Isabella.

Debbie, it sounds like you got caught by 'reservationsrewards.com' (they also do business under several other names). You CAN get ALL your money back (I was paying for months before I realized it wasn't something my husband had purchased). I wrote up how to do it here:

I'm so happy to be back on a semi-regular (:) basis...you guys crack me up!! This made me almost joke on my drink: "Gonna grab my animals and check out the closet." LMAO!!!!!!! And, I'm still laughing over Hannah's post!!!

I just wrote a huge post and it disappeared. Lots of suckiness here and I am sorry for all of it.
Traci, glad you're back. Felicia, thanks for thinking of me. Diane, sorry for the wreck and the violence and the nausea. Hanna, I am so glad you are posting again because you are a great writer and a wonderful woman. Nicki, hope you survive the storm and learn some new things about both your animals and your closet.
My suckage is, I HAVE THIS HORRIBLE, UNRELENTING NAUSEA. It started about 4 days before my tx on 6/26, and just hasn't gone away. I am taking Zofran and Ativan and Phenergan and sleeping a lot. My onc said it was normal and cumulative, but I am tired of it and starting to wonder. Did anybody else have this? I know I only have two more tx, and I am on the back side of this, but this makes it really hard to stay upbeat......
Any ideas?
Love,
Sue

Hannah's Pole Dancing Post...
Thank you for the magnificent humor...somehow, I was transported back to the days of early Saturnight Live,, when comedy was funny, truthful, real and sucked like suckers on sucking chemotherapy drug poles.
I fondly recall a few weeks during my "Chemo-experience", and the details of precious moments, as I remember the dreadful days struggling to force my spirit to GO to the insidious treatments, There was little or no help and support, whle the Chemo-language and the tortuous savagery willed to us, as the only life-saving treament became a putrfied obstical, and world of sick people, and the thought of walkning into the putrified atmosphere of the place made me heave long before the arrival time. None of the anti-emetics helped, and I was so violetly ill throughout treatment; I continue to feel nausious and ill, but for the Grace of my Angelic Nurse whose love and Unconquerable Kindness I shall hold, always, near and dear to my heart.
While recieving chemotherapy, we were all given a reprieve when the Chemodorks went to a Chemodorkconvention. Those left behid were the chemoless patients, wondering why or how the missed drug thereapy intervention would affect their outcome...nobody on call...the Poison Center was closed for over a week. The nurses who were required to "stick around", cleaned...cleaned...and cleaned. My sweetheat Angel, polished, disinfected, and decorated the chemo-poles....she washed everything, includng the seats, floors, windows, sinks, and toilets; and the windows! Goodness,sunflower of sweet salutation; she could have plunked her butt down, and anwer phones, file papers, and make cell phone calls to friends, or spend the weeks on the computer.
I remember walking, notibly, into the Chemotherapy building, and it was new, clean, sparkelng, and smelling simply "de-cancer stinkified", the odor of drugs and death was out of there. If your are reading this sweet Rosey Sunshine of Desert Stars and Morning dew, Thank you. The chemo bag poles were worthy of a grand pole strip--tease damce. right down to the pasties and the sexy long hair...the poles were gleaming and reflecting llight from the colors of the chemo bags. How I wish my beloved chemotherapy nurse could have been my life-long friend. Policy at the clinic: No contact with patient/nurse...no discussions or personal attachments, and a lobng list of no-no-no's.
But the day I walked into the Chemotherapy Clinic, and beheld the heavenly scent of "clean, fresh, I love you, dear patients and friends", was a day I found an Angel, a true and forever benevolent heartfilled human being. None of the other nurses assited her; essentially she and the techs followed her guide to "How to Pole Dance and Clean, making the the world a refreshing and safe place for all".
The Pole Dance....thanks Hannah! I have been giggleling for days; along with Charlie and Robert treatments, and the endlessly brilliant Suckuiferous posts and replies. Took a while to read, re-read, laugh, and laugh and laugh!
Thanks Tracie, for the letter you wrote me a few months ago. Meant the world and the Universe to me. I couldn't reply, I was so choked up; and didn't know what to say or how to respond. I know only that you are an articulate, hysterically billiant woman, and this post should be compled, entitied, and written in a book.format...you'd make a fortune. I think your should think about designing and opening a profitable, non-profit site called: .Tracie's Place for Truth, Moans, Groans and Sucky So Whats?.
Get a few advertisement and pop up adds, etc., and
you are in the money, especicially with your expertise as a smiley wizard.Just a thought...I would join, and bitch on a daily sucking basis.
Love you,
Indi

Too many IOS's today...but they all SUCK!!
Sue - I noticed more nausea this time around and kept taking the meds (which helped some) but I just ate whatever sounded good and kept it down. For an entire afternoon, I snacked on very salty corn chips which seemed to do the trick, but I have no idea why.
Diane - OMG. You have more life to deal with than any one person should right now. So sorry about all the violence and that ex-boyfriend better be locked up.
Nicki - Tornados?! WTH? Hope it wasn't too dark in the closet...
Small update on mine: Talked to the general manager of the hotel today. He (reluctantly) agreed to call hotels.com and cancel the reservation and, presumably, give me a refund, but only after I told him I was going through tx for bc and my condition was "unpredictable" (and so is my mood). However, I have yet to see anything post on credit card, so he'll be getting another call tomorrow.

I did a pole dance yesterday during my 4 trips to the bathroom. I was trying to do the 'hustle' but wound up doing the 'twist' and then, the 'bump.' There was a moment when I was switching it off of battery power where the 'electric slide' looked like a possibility (still wet hands) but i quickly converted it to the safety dance.
The beat goes on.
******
Chemosabe-- ah, tornado warnings. how i miss my childhood years. and now, the occasional conversation with mom punctuated by, "hon, i'd love to talk but a tornado just took the roof off that restaurant outside of town (3 miles away) so I think I'd better get going..."
Isabella -- YES. Do you know the billy bragg song, "The union forever, defending our rights. Down with the [something incomprehensible] the workers unite..." ? I highly recommend playing it at high volume every morning. People at work, at home, have learned to leave me the hell alone when I'm playing this song. And I'm not even IN a union. (Irrespective of how you feel about unions, you gotta hear it. And then blare it through loudspeakers.)
Cris: General manager is an asshat. (Re: Any chance they can send someone out to pick you up, esp on those days where it's hot, poor air quality or you are struggling to put one foot in front of the other? That's rough.)
(Diane: Deeply sorry about everything. Car wrecks. Violence. Cancer. It's too much.)
Linda: I found out I have BRCA2+ as well and am meeting with a surgeon on 8/2. I don't have kids, though. (Just around 60 relatives I had to tell, inc 2 sisters.) I'm sure you know about www.facingourrisk.com. I can handle it for me. But when I think about my sisters... It is hard.
Everyone, the IOS's -- well, they suck. Bigtime.

Yeah... I woke up at 1 am... it is now 3:50 am... Good times. Good times. "The Funk Hole" is on PBS. I know it's bad when I'm still awake at 5 when "Learn to Read" comes on. 'Tis a pity, really, that I already know how to read... but I guess a show called "Learn to Sleep" wouldn't work very well from a programming standpoint.

MMMM..I'm doing re-runs of "Missing" ~ I thought about taking an Ativan but a) I have a cold so it won't help with that and b) if my ONC doesn't postpone my chemo today I'll have a long day and Ativan at 3am will not help that. This is the 3rd night in a row...not a good habit to be getting into now that I am back to work!!
Everyone : Sorry about your IOS...Harley you were correct - I was dyslexic on the ISO...
Traci - glad your back on a regular basis! I'm using a bit of denial at the moment my self with my insurance. Seems they paid my 60K hospital bill for surgery but are denying my 7K bill for my port install. I hope they don't take it back when that bill comes past due!
WTF...when DOES it end??
