annettek -- YOU GO GIRL! Please find every last one of those pamphlets and make sure that another sister never sees one! If there are any left over pamphlets, let us know. We'll assemble down by the fire and help you burn the remainder! And, BTW, make sure when you get to the bottom of this issue, you get a BIG apology!

Anette- seriously..she did not know there was a pamphlet in there telling men not so show their BC'd wives that they are disgusted? I think we need totoss in your dr (temporarily since you seem to like her) for being oblivious!

Paula- I agree with the perfume. I was the b#%ch at work that told several co-workers that their perfume was too strong. I did ask them "nicely"not to enter my scanning room until they could remedy their situation.

Thanks girls. I never let anyone around me see me get upset since I found out I had cancer. I think it finally got to me and I just needed to vent. I know you gals understand what it is and how it is. Thanks for being there. I think this not having a cycle may be screwing with me. I dont know but its like the flood gates were opened and now Im having a hard time closing them when Im by myself. I know this to will go away with time. I just hate feeling this way. Thanks again for the vent. I wanted to say so much more but I woulda been kicked off the whole site, lol. Have a good one all!

OMG I can't believe that there was a "try not to be disgusted" comment in your cancer literature. That's just WRONG in SO many ways. On to the bonfire for SURE!

hmmm...
i got some emend left to throw in the fire, my old friend nicole, who pretty much stopped being my friend when i started chemo, turkey (cause i got an aversion to it after my first chemo), would love to throw some vicodin in there, but still need them for aches and pains i am still having after chemo, the insensitive comment someone at work told me before i went out on LOA ( you don't really need 5 months off work do you?), and sometimes my husband. who can be utterly insensitive at times!!! (but then he will do something so nice, ugh, ok he can stay out of the fire, for now....)

Jo..I forgot who's turn it is for getting the case of wine? Looks like we have a lot more Goddesses joining us!
I started roasting the marshmallows for tonite! 0 -
Aww Paula- we all get *crazed* And I know I certainly did LONG before I managed to hatch BC.
I must have thrown the darn booklet out- I have tossed a lot of stuff- when I go see her for my 6 mos check up I will see if it is still in the packet and take it out and show it to her. I truly do not think she knows it is in there...which is disturbing on a different level. I am fairly level headed but that just struck a chord in me of the OH NO WHAT IF THAT IS HOW HE REALLY FEELS AND IS HIDING IT FROM ME...not a good thing right after you have had your breasts removed and were just feeling like wow, I am fortunate to have someone that loves me no matter what...even the strongest amongst us become somewhat frail inside...BC is a shock to the system and while I don't want to read all namby pamby stuff...but come on, they (whomever they are) must know that first WE will read every bit of data that we can get our hands on...oh well
On another note- let me toss in one of the salesguys who went to NYC with me...when I left in the afternoons after standing on my feet for hours jawing away with clients..he said "I sure wish I could go back to my hotel and rest like you- I have a bad back. Must be nice...."
HAHAHAHAHA I am proud of myself for not kicking him in the b*lls and saying, there now you having something to whine about you dumb*ss

AnnetteK - When someone says something inappropriate to me, I always say, "Excuse me?" And then I give them the evil eye as I await their reply...Did I tell you that I'm a very patient lady???

Welcome ValGal - This is a good place to dump all that bc crap and feel better. Join us on occasion for a marshmallow roast.
voraciousreader - I haven't been keeping track of who's turn it is. This should be enough to get us started.

Hi my new friends! I'm online early tonight. I just got a PM from someone who thought I was VALGIRL - That's not me... I'm Valgal from 2010- hope there's no confusion.
Maybe we can roast some peeps (instead of marshmallows) for the upcoming holiday But they can be peeps that bug us.

Speaking of clerical folks screwing stuff up...I have a VERY funny story, so follow me with this one. The DH has a very rare genetic metabolic muscular dystrophy. Okay, what's so funny about that? When the doctors finally discovered what he had, he was in his forties. Now here's the funny part. The doctor who discovered it and the doctors who treat him are all PEDIATRIC physicians. The category of doctors who treat these people once came under the heading of "Inborn Errors of Metabolism." They were mostly pediatric endocrinologists. Today, the category includes "Medical Genetics."
Okay, so now I'm coming to the funny part of the story....
So, when we were originally told to go see this PEDIATRIC doctor, and I called the receptionist to make an appointment, she asked me how old was my child? I told her that the appointment was for my husband. She told me he was a PEDIATRIC doctor. I told her I knew he was a PEDIATRIC doctor and that my 40 something year old husband needed to see him. Thankfully, I didn't give up and did get the appointment, because the PEDIATRIC endocrinologist, using genetic testing, figured out what my husband had.
So, now, more than 15 years later....we still see PEDIATRIC doctors. Last month, we went to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh for his annual check up. Here's what happened. The security guard didn't want to let us into the parking garage because he didn't believe my husband was the patient and we were allowed to use the parking lot. My husband had to pull out the piece of paper that confirmed his appointment. Next year, I think I'll just put a car seat in the back of our car and then maybe tell them we're there to pick up our grandchild....Maybe then, they'll let us into the garage.
Then we go upstairs to billing. "Who's your primary insurance?" they ask. "Medicare," he replies. Then they look up from their monitor and say, "This is a CHILDREN'S hospital, Medicare is for old people." She has NO idea how to fill out the billing information.
Then we see the doctor. My 6'2" husband doesn't fit on the PEDIATRIC examing table. We're surrounded by balloon murals and tiny tots. I tell the doctor, we ALMOST weren't allowed to see him. He replies, "I know." Today, almost 10% of his patients are adults and the hospital STILL can't figureTHAT out!
Like it's not enough that I'm dealing with MY own medical issues...I have to deal with HIS and all of the nonsense that accompanies it...
Sooooooooooooooooooo, today, into the fire goes....................THE NONSENSE!
Ahhh....I feel better...except for my shoulders....

voraciousreader: Maybe you should put in pj's with footies, the next time you bring him to be examined?

voraciousreader - Does the doctor hand out lollipops when your husband is finished with his appt. LOL
0 -
My husband doesn't get lollipops because of the metabolic disorder. Instead, he gets happy face stickers and Winnie the Pooh Band-Aids.
I like the idea of pj's with footies...if I could only find them in his size.....

voraciousreader - You can always make some for him. Maybe something with Pooh on the fabric.

voraciousreader: Try pajamacity.com...let us know how it turns out!
I know this is beside the point, but Can I throw in this psycotic woman that just attacked me on FB on a mutual friends post? She insulted me three times, and it's all because I made a very common sense suggestion on politics in Maine. I'm really tired of political zealots who defend their party regardless of wrong doing. Seriously, we don't need zealotry in this day and age. We need the common sense which is so not common.
And on the lighter side...we had a huge hemlock come down in the "back 40" of our property...We're going to cut it all up and burn the brush. There's still at least of foot of snow in the yard, so it's excellent brush burnin time. I plan to spend the afternoon doing more than a metaphorical burn of what I need to exorcise from my life...I plan to do a little pow wow dance an imbibe a few spirits if my stomach cooperates!
