    LRM216:  My right ankle seems to be more swollen then the left.  If it is a clot will it go down with elevation?  I have been sitting with my legs up for the last few hours and it seems to be down a little.  What other SE would I have if it is a clot?

    Renee:  Well I'm sure I am in full blown menopause now.  I was almost there before chemo.  I'm so excited to enter this part of womanhood, NOT!

    Back from my vacation - had a great time with the DD, her DH & those beautiful grandkids of mine. Celebrated Jackson's 2nd birthday & played dress-up with Mackenzie who is 3yrs, 4 mos. Lots of exercise chasing them around!

    Sherri ~ Wow! Love your new avatar!

    Redbarb ~ Hope you are doing better after your TXs. {{hug}}

    Welcome kittycat!

    grannydukes ~ My heart goes out to you in this totally sucky time of our journey. {{hugs}}

    I have missed you all & am happy to be back with this "family."

    Granny: My son has been much better since we went to see the pediatrican.  We do have to therapy appointments set up when we get back from vacation.  One with the family and one individual.  We see how that goes.  Thanks for the support. I am so glad you like your new doctor.  That is the most important thing next to being positive.  Good luck with the results.  I will pray that you get them soon.  I didn't have one so I can't help with how long it takes.

    Seyla:I am doing better today,  Ankles aren't quite as swollen.  Go for my treatment tomorrow so I am hoping nothing stops me from getting it.  I doubt it will.  Then on Friday we leave for vacation.

    Deborye and Seyla:  Where and how do you get these great pictures and post them?  I love love to do that!

    Have a great night everyone.  I am going to try to post tomorrow before we leave to go camping.  If I dont' get a chance I will post when I get back.  I will miss you all.  Have a great week!!

    STAY POSITIVE AND HAPPY!!!!!Laughing

    I know what you mean when you say you are with 'family' here.  I am half a world away from most of you but I feel like part of this 'family' too.  Don't post a lot but I always keep up with what going with you ladies. 

    grannydukes

    It is so important to have trust in our doctors but they have to earn it.  So glad you got a second opinion and are happy with your doctor now. And yes, the waiting for results is so hard - hope they come soon. I didn't have a PET scan either but did have a CT scan and MRI one after the other on the same day and got the results when I visited the surgeon the following Tuesday.  I had my bone scan on a Friday and the onc had the results when I saw him the following Tuesday.  Don't know if it is different where you are though.

    redbarb - hope the treatment goes well tomorrow and have a FANTASTIC holiday.  I am in my last few days of two weeks of winter school holidays.  Never long enough are they holidays?

    Hey shelia lol- old but still kicking huh!  My Mum is 92 this year, stubborn as heck, still living independently and looking forward to a congratulations letter from the Queen when she turns 100.  I am worried she will outlive me now!

    Barb and ReneeWink

    As an example if you want to wish Happy Birthday.

    1) google HP click images

    2) choose your image and click on it once.

    3) another window will open with the picture on it

    4) click on the picture again to bring it its original size.

    5) when you see it right click copy on the http

    6) come back to BCO click on the top of your post  (the green tree before the smiley face)

    7) put the cursor on URL image click once with left, then right click again

    8)Click on the paste sign and insert. 

    This is the way I do it. Im sure there are shorter ways......I hope I was a good teacher.Laughing

    I dont know how to open 2 windows at the same time I just go back and forth.

    I will be looking later how you did.

    Oh you dont have to size the picture before inserting. When you are copying the size you see thats what you get.

    Oh, this bunny is so precious.  We have one that visits or backyard all the time but our puppy always scares it away.

    Oh good heavens Deborye! That's one of the cutest lil bunnies in the whole world.  I want one!

     I had a friend that had a bunny years ago-was house trained- had it's own area to hang out in when the dad wasn't home.  When we'd go over to his house after work to party, China, the rabbit, would get to hang out with all of us in the living room.  It was quite cool.

    Okay, Sheila, I found a pic, got the size, when I right click copy on the http, that's the address line, right? Did that.

    Came back to bco separate window & clicked on the green tree, right clicked on URL in the window of the pic I want to post, clicked paste & then clicked insert in the 'tree window', right?

    no picture shows.
