    I am doing ok,the pain has subsided from the freakish horror of my first fill. felt like falling into an ant pile as my chest stung from the needle going in and laying thru the filling. Then afterwards the pressure and ping like pains and feeling like I couldnt breath and taking Tylenol with codeine#3 and being in after surgery type pain til Thur nite, I got the fill about 2 Wed afternoon. This morng totally freaked cause i had red rings outlined my TE and I called my PS and she says come over right then,thru all the rush hour traffic 15 miles,cuz I am in FL and I cant afford beach front property so I am driving to her office. Get there and wait and then finally get in,change into my little paper outfit for exam and magically the red rings are gone!!I know she is now convinced that I am a total psychotic. So they tell me its normal to have an outline of the TE and they dunno why I would hurt so much and tell me I am fine and go on to work. I then got a terrible rib pain all day at work..life is fun!!! How about you ladies? Looking for work? tough market out there if you can even get an interview.  Good luck to you tho. Tough ladies can work a tough market. You go girl!

    SWWEEEEEET Cool

    Oh, Layla, I am so sorry for the pain you are enduring......... I hope the next fill is much better.

    ETA:  ~  ducky ~ Love the flour story over on Thinking Out Loud. That must be one of the many reasons for the bumper sticker that reads, " Sh*t Happens!"

    Kaara I am in J'ville,other end from FT L but I have vacayed in your area and its a beautiful area. Did anyone else have so much pain with the fills? I almost have my little almost B muffin tops back and I dunno if I can stand the pain to go all the way to oranges or C supersize muffins. I know I shouldnt complain,it was stage 1 and things could be much worse and I feel guilty to complain,but wonder when will I feel better?

    jan-jan:  Welcome to the thread...sorry you have to be here, but it's for us all to share our feelings and receive comfort and support, as well as education.  Family members, and for that matter, friends, can seem so uncaring.  I think it's because most of the time people are so absorbed in their own lives they have no time for other's problems.  I've had mixed results from my family members...some that I thought would be concerned have shown me nothing and others have come through 100%, so you never know.

    Wishing you well with you rad treatments and sending you lots of positive energy!

    Guess what......my 3 daughters are exactly the same way........one worse then the other. ........hhmmmmmm...wonder where they got it from....................You know what they say about the "squeaky wheel"...............................and the apple.........................hugs, love you ladies.

    welcome to everyone new...sorry you had to find us but glad you made it here

    Layla- my TEs made me nuts...ouch and I felt like an idiot since so many others on the breast board said no pain no big deal while I was feeling like i would explode or break something...it'll pass...they are foreign objects being filled to stretch out muscle and skin...why wouldn't they hurt? And as I just posted in another thread...doc's are there to help us...when we have serious concern call...and thank god if it is a false alarm...becasue if it is a problem..early is usually best

    jan jan...yeah,...people say and act weird..not sure why...i have had a number of WOMEN say tmaybe they should get breast cancer so they can have a boob job....REALLY??? I just shake my head (well, sometimes, if I am in a mood...i BLAST EM:)

    Hello sistas! 

    First & foremost, Mimi I am so sorry the job didn't work out. I am continuing to pray for you to find rewarding work SOON!!!! Hang in there hun, I know it is tough....

    Ducky - I am so glad the mammy went well, it sounds like your children love you very much. Love you the flour story and applaud you for reporting the lottery clerk. I understand not knowing how to do something but abhor laziness.

    Munnybunny - Bummer you have to do chemo but I pray you have minimal SE's from it. Just remember, we are here for you.

    Val & Annette - Welcome home!

    Grannydukes - LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of working on the list..... But lord that could take time....lol

    Funny this must have been the week for us ladies. I too put in a complaint with the billing office for the anesthesiologist office. I initially called a month ago to set up a short payment plan (split the bill over two months) but was told by the lady that it was unacceptable as they would only take full payment. And not in a very nice tone either. Needless to say it took me a month to cool down and call back. The ladie I spoke to this time was very professional & courteous and offered me the same option I requested last month. Asked if there was a record of my prior call and she told me it was noted by the other rep but no reason as to why payment or a plan was set up. I explained it to her and she was totally apologetic. Promised to let the supervisor know as her hatefulness & behaviour was uncalled for. 

    Hope I haven't missed anyone as I love you all. I find great comfort in these boards and appreciate all the support & friendship.... May be MIA for a few days sometime in the next week or two as my grandmother is not doing well. She has stopped eating or taking fluids so we know it is only a matter of time now. I only hope she can go with peace, love & dignity.  

    Hugs to you all............

    Welcome jan-jan.....Some people they don't know what to say and they make senseless remarks.

    Once someone told me " OH BC is not a big deal plenty of women are getting it" now as I think about it I laugh .........

    Family & friends are more afraid of their mortality that they don't want to talk about it.

    Try not to worry to much .....we are here and understand and care for you...

    K ~ Love that: sh*t for brains !  That's what my DH & I call our neighbor - for close to 3 yrs he has pitched his dog sh*t over on to our property. Such a decent man......... insert sarcasm here!! Long story short: he was mowing over the property line about 8-10' on our side, DH went over & asked him what he was doing & told him he was pushing the line. (We have property stakes so he/we know exactly where the line is) Well, dumb a** did not like that so he when he cleaned up the crap (literally) from his three dogs with the shovel, he would fling it over on to our property or dump the 5-gallon pail full of it on to our side. Soooo, I  began it & then DH began to, throw it back over to his side. I have a tablet with dates wrote down & I have pictures that I have taken of the crap. Oh, this is soooo much fun!! Anyway, last April I walked out to check the mail & when I returned up by my house, I SAW him flinging it over his fence. He looked up at me ......... IT WAS PRICELESS.. So, I took the mail in to the house, put on my jacket as it was lightly raining & stood in the backyard for close to 20 mins looking right at him as he made his rounds. He didn't throw anymore on our side, but it was so funny. He had a hoodie on & kept his head bowed as he worked - he would turn his head slightly my way to see if I was still looking, which I was. Hilarious! I stood there watching him while his damn 3 dogs barked with my hands on my hips with my hoodie on until he finally went into the barn & then into his house. He didn't pitch as much through the summer & fall - my DH makes poop runs at least once a week along the property line except when there is snow as the POS (you all know what that is, don't ya??  - Piece-of-sh*t) doesn't make his clean-up rounds.

    This is so stupid - Actually, I can't believe I'm even telling you all about it. I haven't even told my DD#1 because she works for State Farm Insurance & he is one of her customers & I don't want her to know this is going on just in case..... just want to keep her out of it. I don't know if he has ever seen her at my house or not. She has told me he is a bast**d & I just tell her, " you don't know the half of it!" & leave it at that.

    How in the world I got on this subject I have no idea. Embarassed Yeah, I know....

    We are trying to keep it civil - we don't wave or talk to him or his family & he doesn't to us. I worry about things going further - neighbor disputes can become bad. We leave for several days at a time several times a year & I worry about other stuff happening while we are away. My DD#1 does make stops at our place to check up on the house/property & we have neighbors that watch as well. Still....... I don't trust him at all. We have debated about putting up a security camera, but haven't done it yet.

    Well, I'm waiting for DH to get home from working overtime since 3pm so I guess I felt I needed to talk about something to stay awake, right??? Ha-ha! He is going to be so tired & then with the time change, losing an hour. Well, tomorrow with be sleepy day.

    What a crazy post this is!!!

    We had a neighbor one time who didn't like our bushes because they grew over her fence.  We kept them trimmed, but not to suit her, so one day while we were at work, she absolutely butchered them...cut them down so much that we feared they would die.  DH at the time was so angry that he went over and knocked on her door and she refused to answer.  She had some potted plants on her porch, so DH kicked them around until they were all broken.  I came home from work about that time and saw the mess, went inside and said "what on earth happened".  Needless to say, neighbor called the police, and both of them had to go to court to resolve this issue with the bushes and the pots!  I told DH that they deserved each other, and the moral to that story is he is now ex DH!

    Wow....................2 really funny stories........made my day.....................

    The same thing happened to my son, a neighbor would toss his dog shit over the fence too.................However his neighbor use to come home in the early morning hours around 2am..................so my son, got the dog shit on a paper plate...............took a scooper, and went up to his front door, and covered the door handle in "dog shit".....................when he came home and put the key in the door, and then onto the handle to open it.....................Surprise, guess what he got as a greeting.............................yep..........dog shit all over his hands.............................my son watched for him coming, so he could enjoy the expression on his face.......................

    those are funny stories.  When we were buying our current home.  We had just put the contract down and I was driving by and saw some guys in the huge oak tree cutting some huge limbs off.  We lived just two doors down and knew how crazy our neighbor was.  so I went home called and attorney friend of mine because I could not get ahold of the owners at the moment but knew they did not give permission for this.  Anyway went back and told the guys to get out of the tree that they did not have permission to go onto the property.  They said the lady next door did not want the leaves falling on her drive way.  I told them by law she can cut anything that is airspace on her side of the property but she is going to have to rent a bucket truck to get up there because they were not allowed to climb the tree to do it.  They said she won't spend that kind of money.  I said it is not my problem but I am buying that tree along with that house so leave it alone.

    For some time I've been trying to think of some way to check on cyber sisters who just disappear from these forums.  Sometimes it is just that they have been busy elsewhere, but no one knew how to reach them.  I'm active on over a dozen topics and I've noticed that several of my sisters frequent some of the same topics.  I figure that it would take only 3 or 4 of those women willing to keep my phone number and call to see if I'm OK should I disappear for an extended time and I would be happy to do the same for them.  If we start a movement to do that we would have few if any instances like the current one in The Fuzzy Room, where we are left wondering and worrying about someone we care for with no way of finding out.  This way personal information would not need to be published but someone could always check.

    Just send a private message to someone to talk to frequently, maybe feel a connection with and talk to them about the idea, see if they want to exchange information.   Chabba
