MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN 40-60ish

Hmm, interesting....I know many women who go gaga at football and watch it like religion. But not any other sport!! Why not?? I LOVE watching golf, you get the highlights of each hole without the boring up and down bits of football. Even hockey is more action!! And baseball!! Well! We all understand the rules of baseball, so that makes it so easy to watch. I listened to the world series on the radio when I was driving a truck and the Blue Jays won over Atlanta. I was actually in a small town in Georgia at the time. Only myself and my co-driver were for Canada. We stayed pretty quiet as we won..!!

Janis, I have been VERY, VERY sick too!!! Even ended up in the ER due to the fluid loss weakness with the vomiting and diarrhea. They put in IV fluids and meds and did x-rays. Had me come back the next day for ultrasound as I also had flank pain. More IV fluids and meds and they proceeded with a CT scan. Was hoping I wasn't going to find out I was now stage iv while I lay there in a semi-daze. Came back okay, thank God! I am JUST this second starting to feel better. It's been 4 bad days, proceeded by about a week of not feeling great.
I have my thyroid surgery in a week so I have to rebuild my resources. Even had to let them take blood from my LE side!!!! Getting an IV in 2 days in a row when I was so dehydrated was pitiful!! I had over a dozen attempts. They finally opened a vein in my wrist and it spewed all over my boots on the floor. And yes, I do bleed red.

DH and I are not sports fans. We don't even know who is playing. We worked on cruise ships for 9 years (back in the day) and got totally out of the sports loop. Hard to believe than January is basically over. Time is flying by in 2012.

Barbe......I am really sorry to hear you got that sick. How scary! I am so glad you are over that big scare. You have had so much going on! I will be thinking of you thyroid surgery day. For me that was really easy and very little discomfort at all. Wishing the very same for you!

Barbe, That sounds like a terrible case of the flu'. Glad you're feeling better.
cajmi, Good Luck with the TRAM surgery. Let us know how it goes.
YaYa5, I wouldn't be too concerned about your football viewing unless you down more than two brewskis per game, have a bowl of Corn Nuts on your stomach, and are watching in your underwear. Then, it would obviously be a case of the transmigrated soul of a 49-year-old man reborn into your body. It's more commonplace than you might think.

YaYa my sissies are superbowl watchers as well. My older sissy will watch more then just the superbowl, she watches all season long. My other sissy is more a NASCAR junkie. I only go for the food, lol. But thankfully my supersew sunday will have tons of munchies there.

Ok, Sherry trumps with those pics!!!! Congrats hon...I too am looking forward to that day, hopefully within the next few years.
Super Bowl - I'm the bigger football fan than hub, at least for tv watching. Eli, I will have more than two drinks, and you might find me with snacks on my stomach too
Not sure yet whether we're going to dd's house to watch (they have big screen tv and sil is a die hard Pats fan) or whether we're staying home. Depends on whether hub can take off Monday - we'd need to stay over if we go to her house.Reesie and Kay - we gotta root Pats against that team who shall not be named
janis and barbe - hope your sick days are behind you for good.

Sherry - What precious little bundles of joy!! Congradulations and enjoy every minute with them.
Elimar - Love Barbie's mugshot!!! What a riot!
Will be watching the game this weekend with DH & DS and plan to make wings & pizza for their culinary delight...
Hope everyone is having a good week!

CONGRATS Sherry!!! Looks like Bella was a bit closer to the placenta....no?
I NOT better. I said I am BEGINNING to feel better. Was able to sit up for 3.5 hours this evening!! Only 45 minutes this morning. Flu is serious. No one can take just a day off work for it. A lot of people use it as an umbrella diagnosis..."I was off Tuesday with the flu." Yah, right. It would have been "Monday to Friday"!!!!!

YaYa and Barb yes Bella was 6lbs 14oz and Faryn was 5lbs 15oz. But also Bella has been the calm one in utero and Faryn has been a spaz. Will be interesting to see if the personalities continue.
Thanks all for the comments. If all works out we are going this weekend to see them. They live 4 1/2 hours away and it is killing me not to be there.

CONGRATS SHERRY!!!!!! Have a wonderful visit with the new family members. Kitty

barbe, that sounds just awful. i hope you can sit up a little longer tomorrow and begin to feel better really soon. i'm so sorry you've been this sick. enough is enough, right?0

Aw, Sherry, the little Angels are ....... Angels.
They are beautiful. Congrats!! Beautiful names, too. Being a Grandma twice-over is the joy of my life. Barbe, I hope you are feeling a little bit better this evening. It's hell to be so sick you can hardly sit up. Try to keep hydrated.
We won't be watching the Super Bowl - I'm a 49'er fan Big time & DH is all for Denver. We watch every Detroit Red Wing hockey game & colllege MI / MI State football/basketball/hockey game we can. No Nascar for us, but we did watch a few Tiger games last year & probably will again to check out the newbie Prince Fielder.

Sherry - BIG congratulations on those beautiful babies! Eesh - both of them were bigger than my one. Can't even imagine carrying multiples.
Barbe - Take it easy - no choice on that, right? Hope you're better every day.
Rain coming later today, so I'm finishing my coffee and heading out to walk!

Sherry I just love those beautiful babies and hope you can make the trip this weekend.
Barbe, I am rooting for you hon. It takes time to get over the flu, so right! Genbtle healing hugs to you.
Marlegal, I am coming your house for the Superbowl! Drinks? Alcohol? Snacks. I'm packing!
ValJean......I lived in the Denver area for nearly twenty years and my son and sister and family are all there. I am a die hard Denver fan, but born in San Francisco so fo course I rooted for them since Denver was out. Naturally I am disappointed at the results!
After two nights of NO sleep, I finally croaked last night and slept for 8 straight hours. This is so unusual for me as I am a poor sleeper, but my body just had enough. This LE situation is driving me nuts as I am uncomfortable and unsure if my RO has a clue what he is doing. It has been a difficult couple of weeks. I go back to my RO on the 17th. My BS wanted me to start therapy right away, but RO postponed as now he is giving me meds for fibrosis. He made this diagnosis over the phone from what his nurse described. Grrrrrrrrr.........

Janis, is he psychic or something? With a diagnosis like that I guess I would run for another opinion. Kitty0

Hi. My name is april. I was diagnosed with cancer at age 38.I had to do chemo,and radiation,and a yr later a mascetomy. I'm am 44,and everything is under control. Well not every thing. My life is in shambles,and i'm having a hard time coping with it. I never really had the support with it all.My kids of course,but as teenagers they think your are indistructable. My spouse.Another story. I am hoping I can find the support that i have much needed to get me in the right direction,casue as of right now, I wish I never had treatment. If it weren't for my grandkids,I don't know where i would be. There r so many questions,and no answers. Please help.

Welcome, aprill! You found us, so you are not alone anymore. Some of us are still in active treatment, but many of us are like you...a few years out and just trying to find out what exactly that term "new normal" even means. We will try and help with your questions if we can.0

Welcome April! The one thing I love about this place is, EVERYTHING! If I ever need someone the gals here are the best. If you ever need someone to listen to this is the place to come. I also love that if you want it to be more private, you can PM someone. If ever you need to chat feel free to PM me anytime. I have my sissy to go to, but parts of me back off because I dont want her to worry, so I choose to come here instead.
