A farmer is sitting in the neighborhood bar getting soused. A man comes in and asks the farmer, "Hey, why are you sitting here on this beautiful day getting drunk?"
"Some things you just can't explain," the farmer replies.
"So what happened that is so horrible?" the man inquires.
"Well if you must know, today I was sitting by my cow milking her," the farmer begins. "Just as I got the bucket about full, she took her left leg and kicked it over."
"That's not so bad, what's the big deal?" the man asks.
"Some things you just can't explain," the farmer says.
"So then what happened?" the man asks.
"I took her left leg and tied it to the post on the left with some rope," the farmer continues. "Then I sat down and continued to milk her. Just as I got the bucket about full she took her right leg and kicked it over."
"Again?" the man asks.
"Something's ya just can't explain," the farmer repeats.
"So, what did you do then?" the man asks.
"I took her right leg and tied it to the post on the right," the farmer explains.
"So then what did you do?" the man asks.
"I sat back down and continued to milk her, and just as I got the bucket just about full, the stupid cow knocks over the bucket with her tail," the farmer says.
"Wow you must have been pretty upset!" the man says.
"Some things you just can't explain," the farmer says again.
"So then what did you do?" the man asks.
"Well I didn't have any more rope, so I took off my belt and tied her tail to the rafter," the farmer says. "In that moment, my pants fell down and my wife walked in. Like I said, some things you just can't explain."0 -

CS - you are funny and too kind...I'm actually 48. Yes, I married a younger man and he'd be mortified if he knew I was talking about crocheting something like this

Tammy, I suffered nausea starting about day 7 of rads. I never ralphed, but I sure used graham crackers and tea after which our treatment center offers. I kept "bags" in my car and crackers in my glovebox. I agree with obxk, if you have some anti-nausea meds, i would take them.
(hugs)

bowerl: Just curious...is the bmx your first breast surgery, or did you have a lumpectomy first, then chemo? I had a partial mastectomy in Feb., had 4 rounds of chemo, tested positive for BRCA1 mutation in July and am now looking at a bmx in February 2013 with implants. As a side note, I am waiting until Feb. 2013 because I used my 12 weeks of FMLA job protection as I was unable to work through most of my chemo. My FMLA doesn't start again until Feb. next year. Needless to say, I don't trust my employer. In fact, the oncologist who I used for a second opinion has had patients who have been "laid off" because they took personal leave after their FMLA expired (same employer).0

Tammie-I had nausea with rads, both times that I had rads. My doc also said rads did not cause it but I strongly disagree, I am sure it was from the rads. I hope you find relief.

lm50- yes this will be my first surgery. I choose to do chemo first because I wanted to be able to see if it was working and I had others recommend that I go into chemo as strong as possible. My tumor measured 1.9 cm when I first found it and you had to look for it. By the time I started chemo you could see it protruding out of my chest and now the doctors cain't even find it by feel. So hopefully when they go in they will not find any thing. Regardless my bc wants to take the bad one and I want them both to go. Sorry you had to use all your time up with chemo. I have been lucky and I will only miss 7 days of work with chemo. I take the day of and the day after. I have not used any fmla but I will with the surgery. But hopefully not all of it, the doc says I should be out 6-8 weeks and I work at a school so we will have winter break in there as well. Oh and I did have the genic testing done and it came back negative.

Have we heard from Dawn lately? I missed a few days of posts, ladies. She has been on my mind. I am worried about her. Good luck to the courageous ladies here who are going to have surgeries, and rads this week. Sending you hugs and prayers.

Journey-I am going to blame you for my craving for tequila! It sounds sooo good right now, it counts as a clear liquid right? No more solid food allowed before my surgery. I really won't have any tequila before my surgery, but maybe sometime after to celebrate! I hardly drink at all but it really sounds good:)

when we were at the beach one evening my DH and I had some Pink Catawba wine...have you guys had that? If you drink alot of it we call it Pink Catawaby wine Anyway...after we drank that we went to this bar and I had a Margarita...it was in a small glass but lots of tequila....we walked back to the hotel..actually the husband dragged me back to the hotel...I just wanted to sleep in the elevator that night...lol...suprisingly enough I felt fine the next morning...whew!
I did have a weird dream that I had to have a biopsy...it was so real....

A couple go on holiday to a fishing resort.
The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife likes to read.
One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.
Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and continues to read her book.
Along comes a game warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replies (thinking it was obvious).
"You're in a restricted fishing area" he informs her.
"I'm sorry officer, but I'm not fishing, I am reading" she replies.
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. I'll have to take you in and write you up'' the warden says.
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault" says the woman.
"But I haven't even touched you!" says the game warden.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment."

Inmate and Hope60 - thinking of you. twoLuvRVing - hope you're having an awesome time in Hawaii.Titan - you know what they call Tequila.."to kill ya"...the stuff is gutwash. I gave it up after one "fun" night in Mexico many years ago. Hope you had a good time at the beach. ...and the dream of the biopsy was probably from the Tequila. Stay away - far away - from the stuff

Hi inmate. Can't wait to hear about your adventures!
So.... do i really have to drink all of that stuff? It is terrible! 4 liters and i do not even think i am a quarter of the way through. It is to get me ready for surgery. I hope everyone is having a better day than me!0 -
What stuff are you drinking Bak? Is it to clear out your system like for a colonoscopy?
0 -
Yep. I am almost finished!

Hang in there Bak! Hope you get a good night's rest.

Crazy, fun festival weekend! Had about 25 kids and 8 adults over for dinner and fireworks. My house is along the river where they shoot them off.
Tuesday I see the BS. Wed. New port put in Thursday liver biopsy.
Oh Joy! I will have this done in VA.
Hope everyone has a great Monday!0 -
Karen........thinking of you. the week will go by fast.

Karen - best wishes for the week ahead. I'll be thinking of you. Where in VA?
Dawn - its great to hear from you!
bak - good luck with your procedure tomorrow...and in drinking all that joy juice tonight! I'm not much of a tequila drinker but I think it'd be better than what you're drinking now.
0 -
Karen thinking of you and hoping all goes well.
Bak thinking of you too. What is it you have to drink so much of before your surgery and why. I thought you only had to drink stuff before bowel surgery.
Got my appointment with my BS tomorrow as well and have heaps of questions written down so that will keep him a busy boy. Luckily got heaps of typing today as we were on duty over the weekend so not a lot of time to think about the appointment.
Good luck ladies. Thinking of everyone else as well. Annie

Ladies I guess LUV is the one to ask this question because I know she has mentioned tumour markers before but I have just got my results and I don't know if they are good or not. My CA153 is 51 and my CA125 is 5. Can anybody help here. Thanks. Annie

Bak: Thinking of you, the prepping is the worst part I think.
OBXK: Sounds like an amazing weekend. Hope all goes well with your appointments and procedures this week.
Inmate: Lovely to hear from you. Do fill us in on your getaway when you can.

Annie - http://training.seer.cancer.gov/diagnostic/markers.html after treatment - your markers can rise. Right now, they will be looking more at trends, than numbers. I hope all goes well with your appointment. Try not to borrow trouble. (hugs)
Lisa - I am having my surgery and biopsy done at Maryview in Portsmouth. I am from Tidewater. My dad, use to be a pathologist there. I live in NC - by the OBX.
