    I don't know did I hear Seyla shouting or did I smell that ice cream but I managed to pop in to see you all tonight.  So sorry I haven't been on - between my laptop being on the fritz and mum taking up more and more time it has been difficult to get myself organised and to be honest I've been so tired lately too.

    Paulding - sorry you've been having back problems - I hope you get sorted soon. 

    Hello to everyone - newbies and oldies.

    Patoo my son is still in NJ until the 9th Sept.  It's been an experience for him - he would have liked to do some travelling around but work was pretty intense although he got to go into NY a few times and he finishes work a couple of days before his return flight so he will do a mini tour if he can afford it.

    Meece - Táim anseo ach ana gnóthach - Ba mhaith liom níos mó ama chun bheith anseo ag 'caint' le mo cairde go léir!!

    My son will fix my laptop for me when he gets home and I keep thinking that I will eventually manage to organise myself around my mother a little better and then I will have more time to pop in for a chat - I really love the support and fun here and on the Motivation and E-LAB threads - I miss not having time to check them all out.

    Hugs to all!!

    Fionn

    Ainm, you can see you were missed but we do understand.  Just pop in for a few minutes anytime you can and we will be truly thrilled.  Sorry your DS didn't have much time but at least he did get into NY some.  NJ is okay but NYC is an "interesting" place (I'm a native NYer)

    Hope everyone is doing well.  I'm whipped and it's past my bedtime. 

    Night.

    I am hurting tonight.  I suppose it is a reaction to the contrastin my Ct yesterday.  My neck and shoulders are killing me, and my arms and ribs hurt to touch.  Wierd.  It almost feels like Nuelasta pain.

    Sorry about that Meece.  I didn't have a bad reaction to Neulasta so I can't say I know how that feels, but I hope that you get to feeling better quickly!

    Thanks, Eph.  It feels like my skin is bruised from my waist up.  And the pain in my neck and shoulders is deeper. Still feeling some of the pain today, but I haven't got up on my feet yet.  Maybe that will make me feel better.

    I am really hurting tonight.  My skin hurts when you touch it.  Having DH hug me hurts.  This is too bizarre, but the only thing different it that I had that contrast two days ago.  Where my bra sits, and my waistband  is also hurts.  I tried to look up SEs of contrast, but couldn't find anything like this.  It did mention the rash, which my chest looks sunburned.  I guess I would have been in a lot of trouble if they hadn't premedicated me.

    Good Morning!

    I am heading out this morning to pick up another koi.  I doubt I will get to do much gardening this morning.  It will be several hours of car ride, so I will be taking it easy.  Sometimes I just feel like I am falling apart.

    Rest well PauldingMom.

    Meece, hope you are getting over feeling badly.

    I'm actually allergic to the contrast dye.  Found out when they injected it and within minutes I violently vomited.  Thankfully I was laying on my stomach and not on my back.  Yuck!

    Night friends.

    This morning, the pain appears to be gone.

    My allergy to contrast is the asthma, swelling of throat, and itching.  You know, anaphylaxis.  I was surprised when it first happened, and the techs were right on the spot.  I ended up with 100 cc benedryl IV.  Man that put me out!  Luckily my mom was there to drive me home.

    Thank you for your well-wishes.

    I had the strongest urge to post the biggest picture I could here, but I restrained.  I would hate for it to limit how much we could chat...if it would.

    curiosity is killing me. 

    "Rabbit Rabbit" ladies   I think it's a southern thing. You are suppose to say it first thing in the morning on the first day of the month for good luck. I know my Church says not to believe in such nonsense but I'm counting on some old long passed Grannie who came up with this and is now the Rabbit Rabbit Angle.

    so it might be a southern thing.  Here in Oregon I've never heard of it. But Rabbit Rabbit!

    I have never heard of that one either.  I say "Knock on Wood" a lot, but it doesn't mean I think that supernatural powers other than God can control what might happen.
