LOL!!! I've had dogs, I can just see it!
Can you even wear that wig anymore without giggling?

CAN you wear the wig at all? My vision of the Fluffy story involves hair and such in small bits all over the yard. . .

YKYACP when you see the abbreviation "TN" and think "Triple Negative" and then wonder WHY someone would be looking forward to going there, only to realize that "TN" also stands for Tennessee (sp?).

NativeMainer that reminds me of one that gets me -
.......when see the abbreviation b/c and think breast cancer? then realize it's an abbreviation of because.

NM - LOL!! - I hadn't even thought of little bits of wig all over the yard! 0

luck has it that the dog is a bird dog with a "soft" mouth...He didn't tear into it like prey, but ran around the yard with it like it was the best bird he ever retrieved (stole). I got it back, and thankfully, the neighbors are not right on top of me, so maybe they didn't hear all the terms of endearment that I called that piece of fur as it ducked and weaved, trying to run in size 11 men's boots grabbing at the robe with one hand and holding on to the baseball cap with the other. I got the wig back, intact, but full of drool. Yes, I wore it (had to), after "Fluffy" got another "bath", but you can be darn sure that "she" got dried on a stand in a bedroom with a closed door in the future!

whatRstats,
I just had this vision of you falling asleep on the couch, and there is your family dog...gently pulling, nay teasing! Fluffy away from your head. dog's thinking "Gonna get Fluffy if it's the last thing I do....must not wake Alpha Dog on the couch..."

oh, squid, that is so funny! I have lots of pets and I can just imagine having one's Fluffy stolen while sleeping!

Here's another one-
...when I read A/C and think adriamycin/cytoxan when it really means air conditioning...

You know you're a cancer patient when your daughter asks you why you put mascara on your bottom lashes and you respond, "Because I can!" (After the lashes grew back after fallout #2)

Astorm/Gail- My husband is the same way!!! We should get them together or send them off to training camp (sometimes I wish I could be the happy-go-lucky one though, truth be told... that's one of the things that hits home about "The Big C"- the husband is just like mine.)
chrisct- Please don't tell me my lashes are going to keep falling out!!! Noooooooooo

Lady_Madonna ----- hate to tell you but many women, me included, have their lashes fall out or at least thin every few months in cycles. Since they all fell out at the same time with the initial chemo and then grew back in at the same time, they are all on the same growth cycle. It takes awhile before it gets staggered again and they don't all come out at the same time. I have had it happen about 3 times now I think but each time, it gets to be less and less and now is more thinning than having them all fall totally out.

Yes it's been six months since chemo and my eyebrows started falling out again this week. So you know you are a cancer patient when you use the lint roller on your eyebrows. Got tired of them falling in my eyes.

AStorm: Love that description: don't worry, be happy and he doesn't use coasters. lol0
-
LadyinBama - yeah, I thought those of us who use coasters would understand...
LadyMadonna - a training camp would have been great but I think he would have run away from camp! I got that book for husbands at the library -- even renewed once -- but he never read it... I'd leave it open to a particular passage I thought he should read and he completely ignored it. On the way to my last surgery we were talking about chemo (I haven't had) and I told him I don't have the kind of support necessary to get through that. He asked what I meant and I said "if I had a mother she would..... but I don't have a mother so it's important that I don't go there". He said he would be my mother so I took the opportunity to tell him exactly what to do for me while I recover from surgery and I have to say it did help. It has been 11 days though, and he is starting to question whether the kitchen counters really need to be wiped down every day. I'm meeting him half way -- I just stay out of the kitchen.

OMG-That is what is wrong with me-I have NO coaster etiquette! Don't sleep with your fluffy on!!
.....when you are so thrilled you hair is growig back and then discover for some reason, one side is longer than the other. And you dare NOT get it cut.
........Your new part in your hair is by your ear and you realize that now you look like Donald Trump!
XXOO,SV

AStorm and Lady Madonna - frankly, i don't expect that any man 0r anyone who didn't hadve cancer could relate to whats i was going through, so as long as i have THIS room to vent and ask and vent and ask again ... i don't think my hub will ever ever get it

Coasters! LOL! I am a total coaster person and my DH's mom is a coaster woman - so most of the time he gets it (occasionally a magazine or paperwork of mine gets used). LOL!
When you decide to tell your DH (who is a constant worrier) the new info you learned about your path report. Then realize that your fascination with your terrible Nottingham and Ki67 scores only freak him out more!
I am still laughing at the dog story! I have 2 crazy border collies. I can just imagine them taking off with my wig. I'm always afraid that one of my cats is going to mess with my wigs, so I stow them in my closet with the door shut!!!

whatRstats-OMG! I believe God put pets on the earth to keep us laughing!
AStorm-We're supposed to wipe the kitchen counters every day? Uh Oh!
StillVertical- NO ONE looks like Donald Trump, that short-fingered vulgarian!
Gotta love our dear husbands, even if they are not perfect (like us!) I have to say I have the near perfect DH. I really do. He actually wipes the toilet with paper after he pees! I didn't teach him this, his mom did! And yes, he uses coasters too! Okay, that's probably too much info!

Dmom - I have to get my DH to clean the toilets after he pees! That's great!!
I did train him on how to do the laundry (and what to hang and not dry). 0 -
He uses coasters to wipe the toilet?? SV
0 -
Love the Fluffy story!!!
And the abbreviations: I have also done the a/c means chemo when in fact it meant aircon.
I love this thread!

As long as he doesn't use Fluffy to clean the toilet, or counters for that matter...

My DH is tall, so he sits down when he pees! Taught our sons that too! 0

This weeken my DH suggested a Halloween costume for me. He loves dressing up for the Holiday. He is always the Grim Reaper and looks really scary.
He said I should go as Dana Carvey doing the turtle. Put on an oversized green turtleneck that I can duck down into and get black round rim glasses and shave nubs of hair(not much left). I tried it and it works and we got a good laugh off that.------TURTLE_TURTLE!!!!!! Gotta find humor where you can!!!

...when you finally (after almost 2 months of being late to work) get out the door in time to be early and 1/2 to work, something makes you look in your pill container to find it empty and you have to turn around and go back home to get your meds for the day - you call into work to let them know you have now found some new reason for being late...again! ARGGGGG!

barbe- My DH sits at night, he's tall too, maybe it is a tall guy thing!
Still Vertical- Now you have me laughing again! Coasters! Fluffy! Too tall peeing! Thank God for laughter. What was that book "Laughter is the Best Revenge" ? Take THAT cancer!

When you son wants pasta for breakfast and you get eveything out put the pot on the stove and turn it on then go to the pot filler and turn it on without the pot so water goes everywhere! When do we get our brains back?
The Fluffy story is hilarious. I was worried someone might think your dog had a cat in its mouth and you'd get a whole bunch of "helpful" neighbors you would then have to explain everything to! Glad ol Fluffy is getting another bath (private) and will be ready for duty soon.
