All of these are too true.
Barbe1958, I have to translate the appointment to my DH after it's over too.
YKYACP when you have a sinus infection and your friend sound very sad, sad beyond all proportion and tell you that as soon as you feel up to it we really need to get together.

YKYACP when you take a walk on a breezy Saturday morning... you feel the wind in your hair and see the wind ripple the grass and know that's just how your hair looks... the lawn needs to be mowed and you need a trim LOL!

You cry three times by one o'clock in the afternoon and then realize you forgot to take your meds...
This could be a commercial for some sleep aid or credit card:
BMX, one night in the hospital.
Hyst with ovary removal, two nights in the hospital.
Post-op fever, an ER visit.
ONE uninterrupted night of sleep, priceless...0 -
...when you go to the ER with a dislocated shoulder (ouch!!) and the doctor comments on how calm you are (and you think ... after what I've been through, this is just a bump in the road.)

I was looking at my contacts in my telephone the other day and thinking I will need to delete some of my family and friends contacts in order to make room for all the doctors I've now had to see. Oncologist, Dermatologist,Cardiologist,Plastic Surgeon,Breast specialist,Orthopedic Surgeon,Doctor of Internal Medicine, and don't let me forget therapist.

YKYACPW you can't remember what your doing, where your going, but once you arrive everyone seems to be checking you out and you realize you forgot to wear your bra with the prosthesis in it and you just don't give a rat's patooty.

YKYACP when you have several opened boxes of tampons you don't know what to do with.
trashing them is wasteful but, what, take them to work and put 'em in the break room?
haven't had a period for a year and a half and I think I'm done but I don't want to tempt fate.

me either, but I keep a couple on hand just in case it rears its ugly head again.
guess when I hit 55 or so I'll throw them away.

You could donate them to a woman's shelter. Whenever we stay in a hotel I take all the shampoos and lotions and give them to a women's shelter.

That's a good idea, thanks! I give our shelter the little goodie bags (toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss) we get from the dentist.

When so jackass in the stands at a track meet says to you "will you lose your hair from radiation", cause if you do, save it for me I can use it...........he was bald.............I said
If you lose your balls to cancer, save them for me, I'll hang them on my xmas tree next year.....
The stands erupted in laughter...............Paybacks are a bitch

YKYACP when you leave the grocery store without your groceries.
I shop where they have a drive-up system, you pull up under a canopy and a kid brings your cart and puts your groceries into your car. That way they keep the carts out of the parking lot.
So today I leave the parking lot and drive merrily down the road for maybe a minute until I realize I never got my stuff. Doggone it! Wasn't too far from the store so I just went back. Guess I did better than the time during chemo when I got all the way home before realizing my groceries were still waiting to be picked up.

That's ok Badger. I dropped my son at work last week and I was suppose to pick up my daughter at her friends house, and forgot. I made it home before i remembered. At least she isn't a baby I forgot in a parking lot some place...

YKYACPW the remnants of the IV contrast from your morning MRI help light up the lyric sheets at that nights gig:)

YKYACPW you are standing buck naked while 2 surgeons are marking you with Sharpies during which you and your husband are discussing whether to join a Texas bourbon club or bank the extra fat......banking the fat won out. We did buy a signed bottle of the bourbon and use it to toast milestones in this journey.

YKYACPW you have eaten lasagna for a month straight and you don't even care because you can't taste it
. ---dinners dropped by friends of course
YKYACPW you tell your teenage son he has a gig to play at an hour away at 7:30am and he calls from the venue to say it is at 7:30 PM !!!
YKYACPW you apply your hemoglobin daily with blush and a brush

Thought of another one I did
YKYACPW. You are donating to your daughters dance school silent auction basket themed "fitness basket" and you accidentally send your bag from the dollar store consisting of a dog blanket, Shamrock flashing St paddy's day pin, cheap picture frame and a shower curtain liner!!! I just imagined the lady making the baskets saying, "how am I going to fit these into baskets.... The poor dear maybe that's all she can afford". Lol0 -
YKYACPW you are waiting for your pathology results to get your staging and you look at your dog and think. " you quite possibly have a better life expectancy than I do right now!". ( I'm a veterinarian lol)

YKYACP when you are heading out for a walk and go to put on your baseball cap, the one you last wore last year while bald from chemo, and have to loosen it a notch because now you have hair. :-)

YKYACPW you are just a tiny bit disappointed when 6 pm came by and the end of the world didn't come. Still have to live with the scars, aches, and wondering if the beast is going to come back. If th e world had ended I'd be in a much better place right now.

Oh InTwoPlaces, I totally know what you mean!
I had the same thought today -- had a guy on the street give me a nice look and I wondered "Do he noticed that I have no eyelashes?". (!!!)
Sorry if this one sounds negative - I don't mean it too...
YKYACPW the Apocalype/Doomsday prediction thing makes you think "Gee, now suddenly others know how I feel for a minute or two -- pondering for a second what would happen if they didn't make it."
YKYACPW you're SO FREAKIN' HAPPY and high on life just from simply having a nice Spring walk with a friend and enjoying life! (after having been inside and tired from treatment)
:-)
