Janis, you can do it one of two ways: 1. Go to your Facebook account and click on a picture to get it full size. Then right mouse click and select copy. Go open a post reply window and right mouse click and paste. You must paste twice. 2. Or you can upload a photo to Photobucket. Once uploaded, when you click on the photo, there is a direct link URL you can click. Then do the same thing as above, paste twice.

Barbara...you will laugh at this one. I have heard of Photobucket but no idea how to use it! I think the FB sounds easy. Thanks so much for the tips!

janis, In the meantime, if you want to, look on You Tube and you can find videos that demonstrate the lymphadema massage, and you could try it to see if there is a difference. On the MP, you can still guess and get the outpouring of prestige that comes with guessing right. If you cannot post something, you can pass it down to the second closest.
Eph, If you can get something posted from your Facebook, we can guess through tomorrow and you could tell us tomorrow night. If you can't get it, PM me and I'll have to go back and see who came in second place (or noodle6 can tell me), then that person could post next weekend.

These are the photo posting instructions from BCO that someone made:

hmm...the red part looks like the biohazard warning thing I see at the doctor's office all the time! the other part is a section of the waste receptacle lid.

The new foobs look like the TE's did: hamburger buns.

chiluvr, I take it they don't have a natural slope to them. Did they tell you it would gradually change or anything? Hope it can be worked out somehow to your liking.
Did you ever notice that if we are dis-satisfied with surgical outcomes, they don't step up to fix it on their dime? Unless you get malpractice award $$. You might get something fixed with a second procedure YOU pay for. Why is it you can get a suit tailored and if they screw it up, you go back and they re-do for free. Surgery, if they screw up, you pay for the fix. Don't doctors have the same simple pride in their work that a tailor has?
Eph, give a few more people a chance to get their guesses in tomorrow, before revealing what the strange MP is??????????

MP--the end of a bandana
I am going tomorrow for my breast MRI. This is a new breast surgeon so I don't know if he will call me with results or make me wait until I see him on the 25th, although I don't expect anything to be there since my last surgery was in November. This is just a follow up to make sure they got everything. If everything looks good then I'll get the green light to move forward with my BMX.
Chilvur I sure hope they will drop and fluff otherwise you might have to go back for a redo. I agree with Eli why do we have to do this on our $$ does not make sense.

Chilvur I thought the same for a awhile about mine too. I did notice that once I got a good bra and wore it, they have changed. I agree with the others as well on the $$$. They should enclude any revision in the cost, grrrrr. I know that they are never gonna look the same again, but come on. I just dont think they get it sometimes.

chili, though I didn't get recon, I've been here long enough to read (and learn) that they have to do what is termed "drop and fluff". I'm surprised they didn't tell you that!!! Read up on drop and fluff to see if you have to massage or whatever....good luck!

MP: a chemo bag?

Binney...I have a call onto my MO's nurse. The nurse I talked to asked me if my arm was swollen. No! I told her I had done some homework on Truncal Lymphedema and arm swelling is not involved. I hope Esther, the nurse, knows what it is. She is very good and I trust her. I am just tired of the swelling and the pain.

Is truncal lymphadema the best kept secret from clinicians? Good job, janis!0
-
Sent a picture of the foobs to Whippetmom. I am not crazy. She confirmed what I thought. The PS didn't give me big enough implants for my skin flaps. Now I'm going to go to a PS with experience in reconstruction. Just when I thought I was done with being cut open. Perhaps they should use a zipper or velcro closure.

chiluvr1228....I am so sorry you have to go through this. What a mess! Sometimes it fells as if we will never really be "done" with BC. I hope it goes well for you.
Eli, I got an appointment this afternoon with the nurse practicioner. Esther and I talked and she said it sounds like lymphedema. I did explain there was no arm swelling and I believe it is Truncal LE. She did want to see and check me before sending me to a qualified LE therapist. I'll let you know what she thinks this afternoon.

MARTIN LUTHER KING was a truly remarkable man. He HAD A DREAM of equality, justice, brotherhood and love for all mankind----while most of us were busy having the usual forgot to put on underwear for school and not passing the exam dream.
[p.s. Typical non-sequitur post for attention. Sorry. Enjoying MLK Day in my own way.]

OMG - please feel free to read my recent posts on "Here's what cheezed me off today" thread - it is a prime example of how some med profs think they can control us!!

chiluvr, LOL velcro! You could probably get titanium snaps or clasps. They do love their titanium.0

chiluvr, shouldn't the doc that made the boo-boo fix it? With OUT copays??? Aren't any of these docs accountable???\
Janis, my truncal LE is about the size of the cup in palm of my hand. It is around where my drains came out my back. Trucal LE doesn't mean your whole torso will be swollen, it could just be a small area like mine. Everytime my DH rubbed in lotion, I would complain and say OW! everytime he hit that spot. I insisted there MUST be something there, but he couldn't see anything. As soon as my onc saw my back she nailed it. It felt like a sharp blade was slicing over the area when he touched it. Or, if I leaned back in a hard chair I could feel it. Weird, to say the least.

e, I like the picture at the top, but when I fly, I hope I look more graceful than that!!!
Where the HECK did you dig up that naked navy woman!!!!!! Like what do you Google to get THAT? And why is no one noticing her????

barbe, That would be the keywords, "Asian school kid without underpants." Kidding. My theme today was DREAMS, since MLK had one. And good for you that you knew the top pic was flying, and not plummeting to the ground without a parachute, as ungainly as it looks.
The universal dreams are FLYING, FALLING, PUBLIC EMBARassMENT, FREE MONEY, and HANGING OUT with Bob Dylan collecting stray golf balls from a woodsy out-of-bounds area on a golf course and then him giving you a ride (in his vintage 40's sedan) to your friend's art gallery with "You Gotta Serve Somebody" playing on the car radio.
That last one may not be universal. I'm not sure.

Let's not forget being stranded at a girl scout camp with only Bobby Sherman and a hooka!
0 -
Eph, LOL! You are correct! I think that one IS universal, but with variations. You know, like stranded at Girl Scout camp with only Tommy Roe ("Oh, Sweet Pea, come on & dance with me...") and some Strawberry Hill, a few years before; and stranded at Girl Scout camp with only Shaun Cassidy and a bong a few years later.

Eli, Eph, thanks for making me laugh!
Off to the MO to find out if I have LE. LOL!!!!

Good luck janis!

I got mixed results from the doctor and not sure what to think. I saw the nurse practicioner...Esther. She is very good and thorough and I trust her. Although I have no fever, my breast is very red and of course swollen. She thinks I have cellulitis so put me on antibiotics. She still thinks I may have LE though as the swelling is over a fairly large area. So I go back next week to see her again. If I am still swollen then off to the LE specialist.
I am hoping the antibiotics clear the whole thing up and I don't have LE......I just have about run out of patience with this! I realize it is not that serious but sure is annoying.
0 -
good night for laughs, thanks Eli and Joni and Barbe
not many guesses on the mystery pic, or people just avoiding the computer today?0 -
Janis - Keeping fingers crossed that the antibiotics work and there is no LE. I hear that is no fun. You have had to endure enought already.
