    Hi, have to admit I skipped a few pages. But I know enough to agree that hugs and prayers are needed.

    It is always a comfort to see Lucy here at our northern hemisphere wee hours. But Tomboy? Do you have insomnia like I do? I sleep then wake in the middle of the night and cant get back. I have to get up for work soon and only 2-3 hours sleep. I better turn off the alarm and doze. My last "quiet" week before classes start and leaving home at 7 daily.

    Lucy I love the cartoon.

    Hugs Blondie, and hope you go to step down care while you heal. You deserve to rest and have help with moving around AND getting your meals. As if BC and carrying Mr. O around sren't enough...you didnt ask for any of this and you deserve care.

    Ducky hope your cough is clearing. DH has been coughing since Christmas. Love your soup cartoon.

    K, hope to hear good reports on Brian. And anything else on your heart.

    Gma, gentle healing hugs.

    Val, I love hearing from you...seems like so long ago I met you and Granny (now FK) amd Jo on the Stage 1 thread.

    Slow thanks for always encouraging us here.

    Will try to catch some Zzzzzs- alarms OFF

    Hubby talked to my mom yesterday. She told him that she might stay a bit longer than she planned if I need her. Stepdad's boss is being very understanding and letting him take time off to bring mom down and pick her up.

    Thank you for the update Ducky. I'm glad she will have someone taking care of her. That's great news that she will have access to food, rehab and pain meds!! Hopefully she will have internet too!!

    What a coincidence Tomboy, I have a Fitbit too! Although, I'm not fit a bit, yet. :)

    Any news from Kracker???

    Glad to hear that Blondie will be in rehab.  That will be good.

    Waiting to hear from FK,,,,,

    I don't think I would want a Fitbit, telling me how badly I sleep!

    A Fitbit would tell me what I already know.....that I wake up every 2 hours every night!   Ô¿Ô

    Still keeping good thoughts for K's Brian & Sandy. ♥

    I'm so glad Blondie isn't on her own. After my surgery, when I was left alone during the day, was very hard. I know my neighbors were a call away, but never wanted to ask for help. Lost weight that first week because I didn't plan enough food to be left for me.

    FK Brian is still in my prayers.

    OOOh, sorry! what happens to me is, i curl up reading bco or my kindle, and i fall asleep everytime. i actually got in bed by 12:30, and i got up at 8:45. cancelled my appt with BS, at ten, i already picked up results, benign. But i asked her to call me anyway, because she said she may want to do a punch biopsy anyway. supposedly its just an area of fat necrosis they are watching, but why is it getting bigger? And i want to ask her if i can have that reactive node out!!!! it is really bothersome. Oh, and my med onc's NP did the visit last week with me, and at the end of the clinic notes, she said i didn't have a uterus or ovaries. But i did! last time i looked! and my gyno right after said i did, he looked at em!

    Good Morning Goddesses,

    So happy to hear your results are benign Tomboy! Good grief, I hope the fat necrosis stops growing!!

    GMA, When I had problems with my wounds healing they tried a wound vac on me. They are supposed to be wonderful for promoting healing. Unfortunately because of the area of my wound, they couldn't get a good seal, so I couldn't take advantage of the technology. Can they try a wound vac on you?? Hyperbaric chamber is also supposed to promote wound healing.

    Thinking of you Blondie. Hope your rehab is going well. I miss seeing you and can't wait for you to come back!!

    FK, Keeping you and Brian in my thoughts and prayers.

    Hugs to all.

    Oh no FK! That sucks - plain and simple.

    Yes, Ducky is right....you must calm down. We don't want you getting sick.

    Hopefully your GD can get some answers out of them. Dumb asses.

    FK.. Oh.. So sorry.. How upsetting.. I would have steam coming out my ears too.. It's not fair. !!

    Tomboy..Glad you have B9 results.. But WTH.. Talk about confusion.... enough to make you wonder yourself if you really do still have those ovaries and uterus.!! Mean to say, my memory is so shot lately I could of had mine out and forgot !! Seriosly.. Is it any wonder we don't have too much confidence our doctors !!

    Slow.. So cute.. 😃 Thanks for sharing it..!!

    Good Evening Goddesses,

    Hope you all have a great weekend free from pain.
