Oh Lisa!!! How blessed are you!! Your Mother traveled out to see you, too!!! So glad you had a great day. A bunch of surprises and people around you who love you. That is just the BEST! Belated happy birthday!

Ditto what they said Lisa! Sounds like a great day with lots of love. Wishing you many more good days. Wowiezowie that your Mom traveled - some of your strengths must be genetic. Thanks Leah for spilling the beans.

Lisa, I sent BD wishes on FB too but your luncheon was such a good surprise! Kudos to your DH for pulling it off, too. And how special that your mother's here! It's wonderful that at 92 she's still able to travel across the country.

Lisa - so happy to hear you had a wonderful Birthday and a big congratulations on the 12 years. I have been sort of out of it for a couple of weeks. Trying to catch up on sewing/quilting projects that need to be done before Christmas.
I am so ready to go back to FL to get some rest! I have been so busy that I am continually overdoing everyday, which equals exhaustion. I think tomorrow I will declare a pj day and sleep late as I can and then do nothing the rest of the day.
Hope everyone has a good week. AJ

Hi girls!! I've just completed my first day of hydrotherapy and so far I feel great!! Mind you I think tomorrow will be a different story all together as the muscles I worked today tell me off for doing so.......lol.
Tomorrow is going to be hot! hot! hot! Supposed to get to around the 106 degree mark so this little duck will be hidden inside with the aircon going full throttle! Did I tell you I hate hot weather?!.......I so wish summer could be taken out of the calendar .........lol........I think I'm just getting old and cranky!
Have a great day all!
Love n hugs. Chrissy0 -
I'm off to jury duty in the morning. I checked the bus schedule and I'll have to leave at o'dawn o'clock. I'm trying to remember how steep the block is between 2nd and 3rd. Our downtown has some really steep hills. I'd rather walk further on the level than a really steep block. Lazy, I guess.

wren, I don't think that's lazy, just good sense!

Wren, I agree with Chaba as I would find uphill/downhill a real challenge. Oh my! Having to get up a dawn o'clock!! Now that's one for the birds!!!!!........hahaha!

Good morning ladies, I'm fairly new to these pages but am excited to read & share experiences of our daily lives. I am only a couple of weeks out of surgery but I am finding my new normal life back. I was so afraid before surgery that I would be so down & out in pain that I wouldn't be able to enjoy the upcoming Holiday season. Since I live in the Midwest I was really not looking forward to a long drawn out winter at home either. To my surprise the recovery has been a easier journey than I could have imagined. My husband returned to work after spending the first 2 weeks helping out around the house & it has been fairly quiet but I went on a short walk in the cold air around the neighborhood yesterday & it felt so good. Looking forward to spending time with 2 of my 3 grandson's at Christmas & hope for a trip out West around New Years to spend time with 3rd Grandson. Looking forward to checking in with everyones posts..

Hi Peg and welcome!! Grab a comfy chair and a cuppa and hang with us. Jump in where ever the mood or subject leads.........we all love the company!!!
Sounds like you are healing well which is a good thing. Do you know what your next step is yet as far as treatments goes I mean........lol...... sorry just my wacky brain going off on a tangent .........
Anyways, a big hearty welcome!!
Love n hugs. Chrissy0 -
Chrissy, explain this hydrotherapy to me...

Chrissy, Thanks for the warm welcome. Fortunately my cancer was diagnosed before it became invasive. The final path report shows no need for chemo or radiation!

Barbe, hydrotherapy is exercising in water so the water takes the stress of gravity not your body. Because your body is supported by water a disabled or injured person can do more of a workout with a greater amount of ease than if they were doing the same exercise in a gym. It is encouraged by physiotherapists if your skeletal problems put you in the category of age or disability so you can regain strength and stability. I really did enjoy my session and am looking forward to my next. I have not woken up with sore muscles this morning which would have happened has I tried to do the same amount of exercise any other way than in water.
Peg that is fantastic news!
I'm going to try for a little more sleep as its 5.00am here and waaaaay too early for me to be awake......lol.
Love n hugs. Chrissy0 -
Chrissy, so hydrotherapy is like water aerobics? Do they play music and it is done with a group and a leader(teacher)? I'm so glad you get to exercise in a safe way.
I was finally cleared to start to exercise again, but will take it real slow. I have a friend that is a personal trainer coming over tomorrow to give me some options. The pulmonary doc does not want me out in crowded areas without a mask. sigh. Right now I am using a scarf most of the time. Still slowly weaning myself from the steroids. I am so tired most days. I'm hoping the exercise with give me more energy.
So I have a dumb question: Does all IDC start out as DCIS? I have forgotten if I ever knew that fact. (older woman with less sense)
love you all

Hi Nancy so glad to see you!!! Yes, in a way I guess you could say that hydrotherapy is similar in that it is performed in water but is no where near as strenuous as water aerobics. Each exercise pan is individually prepared by a physiotherapist and is tailored to your particular need.
I'm really happy to hear that you have been cleared for some exercise as it definitely does make you feel better.
Yes all IDC starts as DCIS and it breaks through the duct wall to become IDC. Strange some of the questions that pop into out heads....no??
Love n hugs. Chrissy0 -
Thanks Chrissy. That hydrotherapy sounds great. Tailored to your needs. I am going to try not to jump into exercise with my usual gusto. That's how I get myself in trouble. I still think I can do what I used to be able to. LOL So I'll tell you what this woman suggests for me tomorrow. I have come to the point where I can take direction from others.
I have switched one of my meds and my mind is definitly clearer. So all sorts of interesting thoughts run through there day after day. Like how you are complaining of the heat and we just had our first snow fall. Now I have to bundle up to just take the dog for a walk. Our world is so diverse and beautiful. I have so much of it I want to see.
Welcome to peg
Everyone else a big Holla! Hope all are safe and dry.

I was thinking water-aerobics too. I have a pool within walking distance of me, but have to pay the whole fee for the gym/pool or pay for 8 weeks of lessons only. One of these days I'm going to pay the $99 to get 8 weeks of pool gentle exercises. This is a "Lifestyle" community (read old-age) so the exercises are geared towards aching muscles. I need to get in on this, but I just have images of pneumonia with a wet head....sigh.

I love the sounds of the hydrotherapy, chrissy ...wish I could swim!

Wish I could help purple, I taught swimming for forty years.

Lisa, was teaching swimming your only career, or were you also a professional photographer? Your flower pictures fill me with delight.
Mac, I'm glad you're feeling better. I know what you mean about thinking you can do what you once did. I'm constantly getting myself into trouble thinking I can do stuff and then ending up spending a day in bed recuperating!
OK, the time has come. Sunday I have an appt with the PS and will (finally!) get my first fill. She wanted to wait 3 months from the surgery since my skin is damaged from rads. I'll let you know how it goes.

Purple the water in the pool is at chest height so your feet touch the bottom at all times. If the exercise dictates that you need them off the bottom then floatation devices are used to support you. There is no need to actually swim.
Barbe the only part of my hair that got wet was just at the nape of my neck. I even wore my glasses while doing the exercises.
Oh Leah!! Good luck with your first fill!! I have heard that it can make your skin feel very tight and uncomfortable for a few days after but hopefully you won't have any pain involvement.
Well girls I'm seriously packing at the moment..........no I'm not moving house I'm talking about a suitcase.......lol. The Aussie girls are having a get together on the 8th and 9th of Dec and my DH has given me the trip for my birthday. I'm so excited to be meeting up with more girls from BCO. I will also take a couple of days to stay with my niece and grand nephews as she also lives on Brisbane. Life seems to be full on at the moment but that's a good thing......lol.
Have a great day all!!
Live n hugs. Chrissy0
