    mjbmiller happy cancerversary, woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The smoke has been really bad here.  We have had small fires here locally but nothing compared to Bastrop.  It has just been so hard on all the firefighters.  Everywhere, they seem to be needed locally and afar.  They say this is the worst drought since the 50's and alot of cattle owners went busted during that time and lost their land.  Not that I want anyone to have a hurricane but we should could use the rain.

    I think she means it is her BIRTHDAY birthday, not the cancerversary.  Last year didn't count because she had too much treatment going on to celebrate when it was birthday time.

    Happy Birthday mjbmiller!!!  I wish you many, many more too.  Enjoy your dinner tonight.  Hopefully someone better than me will come along and give you a nice, hunky George Clooney for an extra present.  And if they do, I hope you're more of a sharer than the last b-day celebrant, who wouldn't share him with me.  :(  Of course, it's your day, so it's your way.  Enjoy!!

    Big birthday wishes to you mjbmiller!  Hope you have a wonderful dinner out.  I love Chinese food.  Yum!

    Okay the appointment today with my RO was basically a big bust.  I gave him the report from the ER and he too refused to give me any real diagnosis.  He said it could be Costcochronditis, not sure.  He said whatever it was, he felt it was totally unrelated to the radiation.  Of course not!  So really I have no answers to my mystery ailment, but it feels so much better today.  I am grateful for that.  He gave me a prescription for topical Lidocaine to help numb the breast surface.  It is pretty red and sore and my underarm really is sore.  He also ordered an ultrasound for the thyroid nodules.  He said it was probably nothing, and he will go over the results with me when I see him next Thursday.  So, my appointment is for tomorrow afternoon at 12:45.  Then I wait.........

    Hope everyone is okay and having a great day!

    janis hoping that the US comes back B9.  I used a lidocaine cream at the end of rads and it did help.

    Happy B-day MJB!!!

    Janis- glad to hear you are feeling better.  Smile  Hope the US comes out as good as mine did and you will have no worries to pester you any more on that front.  Hope your "coney" dog is doing better too.  Today I had some pain at the incision site while at work.  Doesn't look like an infection but could be the delayed effects of the HDR now coming on.  Got pretty tired too.  Good thing only a partial day tomorrow and Saturday off.  YAHOO!!   Kitty

    Well, I wasted a couple of hours at the urgent care clinic and ER this morning. The urgent care clinic wouldn't touch me. They said the procedure had to be done in a ER with Xray to locate the spot. They didn't want to risk puncturing my lung???? "Let me lay on my side for you. You see that soft ball shaped thing in my chest that looks like a boob, where there shouldn't be a boob. Stick the needle in and suck it out, stupid."

    No luck at the emergency room either. "It's not that bad. You have no infection. You should be ok until you see your MD on Monday... "Then I call my BS and talk to her secretary. Tell her about going to the ER. First words out of her mouth "You didn't let them aspirate it, did you?" What is the big deal! I have an 8:15 a.m. appointment with my BS on Monday. Meanwhile, I'm back to wearing the f***ing binder. I swear I'm going to burn this thing when this is all over.

    Having a wonderful visit with DB#1. I'm staying until Saturday. Today was the first day it didn't rain. Lot's of flooding here. I walked across the Hudson River on a foot bridge - pretty cool. Although the Hudon looks more like the muddy Mississippi right now. Going to a dance with Zydeco music tomorrow night. I won't be dancing but the music should be great.

    MJB - Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, ... Hope you had a great dinner with your family.

    Janis - Sorry you didn't get a difinitive diagnosis re your pain. The NP was the one who diagnosed me. My rads were 17 years ago and on the other side, so I don't think it had anything to do with them. Antiinflammatory meds did the trick. The pain was totally gone in a few days.

    Hey Reesie - How are you doing? Hope all is well and  you're healing quickly.

    Hauntie, so sorry to hear you were not able to get the fluids drained.  How frustrating that must be.  I know how uncomfortable you must feel with the stoopid binder!  Grrrr.....I am happy to hear though that your trip is fun! 

    Kitty I understand the fatigue, it is just starting for me.  Not bad but I notice it.  Glad you have a short day tomorrow and Saturday off.  Get some rest please!

    Holy crap! All the doc has to do is put a needle SLIGHTLY under the derma into the area of fluid and let the needle do the work!! He's not performing a tracheotomy for heaven's sake!!!

    Hauntie.. unbelievaable!. hope your ok and not to uncomfortable through the weekend

    Janis.. hope your doing ok today thinking of you and sending all good thoughts your way

    we have had so much flooding here my DD school wouldnt release them yesterday all student drivers needed to wait and all the rest had to wait in school until their parents came. Took DH a long time to get to her as the main road right in fron of her school was closed. Schools in the are all closed today! wow. first time here for rain that has happened..

    hope everyone is sae and having a good day!

    Hauntie, that's a shame that you still have to deal with the fluid.  But I'm glad it didn't cut short your visit with your bro.  It would seem to be the perfect kind of thing for an urgent care center to do (to me any way).  Hope it doesn't bother you too much on the ride home.  My DH and I went to a Zydeco concert about 6 weeks ago.  I have never even heard of it before, but it was great!  I loved the music.  Have fun!

    Reesie, hope you're feeling well.  Thinking of you.

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Hi girls, just a pop in to wish Reecie a good recovery and to say once again, I had a whole lot of fun meeting your girls at Fridays!

    This morning is my last morning in Jersy as I'm on the plane and off to North Carolina this afternoon.  Hope all are doing well and those who are affected by the flooding, I sure hope you stay safe.

    Love n hugs.  Chrissy

    Wow!  The mystery pic already.  My guess is a curtain made from woven fabric.

    Reesie, hi!  Glad you're awake and the pain is at least tolerable.

     I think the mystery pic is a bicycle tire?
