I am needing to join your wonderful group...I have been reading for a while, just waiting for my day to burn something. :-)
I am tossing in my "healing shirts" with the drain pockets and velcro fronts!
I just had my second mastectomy so I am throwing into the fire all of those crazy uncomfortable size 7 foobs!!! (Ok, I am not burning them, I am donating them to my cancer wellness center but in my mind, they are buring to a crisp as we are all watching!!!!)
And I am burning those huge mastectomy bras they thought I needed!!!

Hi all. I just wanted to see if anyone has ever posted a video on here. I am burning my pink book in a few days and I want you all to be a part of it. If it wasnt for all you gals around here, I couldnt have made it threw this past year. If anyone can give me pointers that would be great. If not I will post the pics instead.

Paula - have no idea how to post a video. Search the help menu and see if that helps.

Paula.....If it was on You Tube you would copy the URL and paste it here.
I know that doesn't help you.
Good Luck.

Went to my naturopath and she gave me another homeopathic hit of ;nats mur' which seems to stop my weeping..and then she offered me something else...said I was so uch stronger one month later that she thought i might be ready to get to the bottom of what is making me weepy...she thinks it is anger....REALLY>@>@>
I want to toss in my colleague who asked me torearrange my schedule to be at the meetings ...these transition meetings for the department I quit as director...to show that we are a team...and in agreement....but we aren't...and I don't agree. I will do what I am asked in the classroom and will fill in his little make work forms but I am NOT going to these g#$%meetings...where he goes on in a holier than thou way and my boss talks to hear himself talk...I am not the DOS anymore...I do NOT have to put up with it. I am just supposed to be doing teacher training....not my fault they did not put one on starting next week ...was accused of not being a team player....Almost lost it...but stayed calm and said I was sorry he (my colleague) felt that way but no..I was not rearranging my appointments and I was unable to come to meetings on Fridays. period.
I normally do training courses with him..and as long as I am going his way, it is ok....he even accused me of avoiding him all day (????I was working doing interviews)...he did apologize when I called him on that blatant lie but seriously?? Transition without me...I have had enough transition this year.

Goddesses, I am just stopping by to get warm. I saw a bottle of Brandy next to the fire and was wondering who it belongs to. No one is looking....that'll warm my body. I've been hot flashing then freezing.
Sandee, I can relate to the nonsense at the job. I am a teacher too and the crap just rolls down the hill. Good for you in keeping control.
Ducky, lol, sure you can use my picture. I have others of me even younger if you want! You are funny, ole neighbor!
Hi to all you other gals. Happy trails!!

Hi all! I want to toss in a few people. They are people who have really pushed my buttons. I am pretty easy going but dont treat me like Im a 3 yr old cause I will bite back! My goodness its riduclous how pieces of fabric can turn some people into foaming at the mouth manics. Well I have listened to the bitching for months now and am sick of it. You want to complain that peeps are doing this that and the other. Well thanks for the phone call that the class was cancelled, oh wait I didnt get that call, but showed up for the class, let alone spent the time to cut fabric and get the supplies ready for what I needed, but no call or email saying the class was cancelled. So you want to bitch and moan because now Im not going not bringing fabric for a swap and its not like they cant use it for themseves. Oh and BTW I am a grown woman who does take care of herself and will go toe to toe now with you cause ya pissed me off major so look out cause you started something that I will finish and trust me when I say this I dont care if I ever have a problem frosting your cookies again like ya did mine. Oh and BTW take your pieces of fabric and shove them in your mouth!!!!!

I've enjoyed reading this thread and recently found something to contribute!
Two small tupperware containers I found in my desk drawer: one containing baking soda and the other containing biotene...for those surreptitious trips to the bathroom to rinse my mouth out and combat the pain of chemo mouth sores.
Ugh. Burn it all!

Greetings, all! You have all contributed to this wonderful bonfire, and I am enjoying the crackling, the dancing flames, the smoky smell! Missed you all, and have been trying to catch up on all the posts. I have been in a bit of a fog since surgery on Oct. 3, and finally coming out of it a bit.
Jo, I have never been a smoker, but boy, I know several family members who were and it was so very difficult for them to quit. My father died of COPD, and he just loved smoking, said he missed it and would start again in a minute if he could. He did live about 20 years after his diagnosis, much longer than he might have without quitting. He was a Korean vet, and I think of him often, tossing in a bunch of stuff for him (acquiring infection from nurse not washing her hands). And I will support you and help you toss in the cyberbully - there is no need for that kind of behavior.
I am tossing in the BS and her NP. I complained of pain in my arm that was NOT normal about a week after surgery, and she told me it was normal. Turned out to be axiallary cording, which is getting better with PT. Also complained of chest pain, the NP put me on pediatric dose of antibiotics for possible infection, and which turned out to be a staph infection and I was quite ill for about a week, had to change antibiotics due to SEs which she also told me were not SEs.... etc etc etc.... I am planning on seeing the BS once more, but after that will follow up with MO and PCP.
And I think I will throw in the left-over Biotene with Maxine!

Granny.... I am going to tell you my favorite Facebook story. For 23 years I may have said hello to one of my neighbors maybe, a dozen times. Pleasant enough couple... But nothing in common or anything to talk about with, except maybe a snowstorm on the block. So, they moved a few months ago and I saw the husband in the library and asked how he and his wife were doing. He said terrific. A few hours later... He was trying to "friend" me on Facebook! Could you believe it? We weren't friends in REALITY and now after 23 years he wants to be cyber friends! Today Facebook friends go into the fire!

I love most of my friends on facebook.But this one bitch who has been butting in my family business for quite some time in such a nice way really fooled me.i know her since she was a kid.i never thought she would tag pics and show it to people(like my X husband who i absolutely hate) .....she always tried to make nice nice to me telling me what a jerk he is yadda yadda yadda.well no one bothers with him and we the family dont want him to see pics of the new babies...i blocked everyone who he could go look at and lo and behold she turns on me.....i guess she thought i was soo wrapped up in the new baby being born that i wouldnt notice she tagged the pic.along with one of me too....bitch burn!!!!!!0

I would like to toss in some turmoil...figure it will keep the fire going for awhile but it might just turn to ashes..it is really about learning to let go...I know that on a cerebral level...still trying to let go of someone I have loved for almost 20 years who comes in and out of my life and each time he does I am so happy to see him, so sad to see him walk out the door and get into his truck ( his Tr'uck...what the hell does he have a truck for??). and then sad for 24 hours after...how do the rest of you find the anger to ct the cord and stop hoping he comes to his senses and comes home???? I know it is dumb...but I also know this i affecting my healing..my health and I need to get it sorted as I plan on moving on next year....2012 is going to be a positive, light filled year..so I am starting at this lovely bonfire wiht the hopes that his gets things going..either brings healing heat and clarit or gets me angry enough to burn...maybe i need to go on a rereat on anger?!?!?!?Cause I am still not feeling it!exasperated with me, the situation, my body...these GD pills....yep....exasperated...

badger - Now that is what I'm talking about.; Haven't had anything to throw in lately but have been trying to read everyday.

So I think I'll throw in my grumpy mood from last Thurs, as well as the UTI I have. My tx is Femara and Aredia. I get the Aredia by infusion at the onco day ward at the hospital where I've been treated since dx. I've been satisfied with my tx and the staff is knowledgeable and compassionate (not necessarily a common combination). So I get the UTI and started antib's on Wed. I emailed the onc about it and he said I'd get the Aredia as scheduled as long as my bloodwork was OK. I mentioned this to the nurse a she was opening my port & taking blood and I also told her that my back had started to hurt so I knew the infection was in my kidneys, too. She said maybe IV fluids in addition to the Aredia would be a good idea, spoke to the onc, and he agreed. So I had the extra bag of fluids. It put me in such a MISERABLE mood. It brought home the whole Stage-IV-cancer-is-forever that I usually manage to ignore. I can't count how many UTIs I've had, many of which involved my kidneys, and this was the first time I needed IV fluids.
So into the flames goes my bad mood, my UTI, and my extra IV fluids. And oh how I wish I could just throw in the cancer, too.

Ladies, I have been lurking here and would soooo like to throw many things into de fire....gauze pads, surgi bras, TE's. ON-Q bags from the past, ace bandages, anitibiotic, advil, valium, percocet, booze, bras, forms, poly stuffing , drains, and pain. There are times that I feel like throwing me damn self in the fire I hate that I have to hold on to these things as I will need them again and maybe again. I was so positive that that my upcoming exchange would be the end of my recon. But PS springs on me that I am still high risk for rejuction of implant. I am so angry, it feels like ground hogs day, surgery after surgery after surgery. I am scheduled for round 2 of exchange just 8 days shy of when I had the exchange last years. I've had multiple infections, rejections, reexcissions and now going for revision which includes lypo, which in itself, it scary. I am ready to throw the entire recon into the fire. So glad to have found options.

{{DorK}} I didn't do recon but have a medicine cabinet full of stuff from surgeries and chemo. Immodium, pepto, pepcid, MoM (milk of magnesia), and everyone's favorite, stool softener. Oh there's about 10 generic vicodin left, I wonder if they're still good? Into the fire they go!

Dorothy...Please DON'T toss the booze! The holidays are a short time a way...Perhaps, we'll all gather at the fire and have a toast...
Here's my toast, "We all made it through the year...And may the coming year find all of us enjoying good health and happiness AND NO SURPRISES!" And, here's another one of my favorite expressions that you reminded me of that I always say..."I DON'T mind having an occasional 'do-over day.' What I find terrible for my psyche is when I have TWO 'do-over' days in a row...
So, the rest of my toast is, "May all of us have a new year calendar filled with as few "do-over" days as possible which leaves us open to doing more of the things we love to do instead."
Happy holidays, Sisters! CHEERS!
