Hope everyone enjoyed their thanksgiving. It was nice not to cook! We got to see Harrison, they did come and I got to hold him. He’s got big feet and hands. Really long toes. But for being a nine lb kid, he doesn’t seem big when you hold him. He pretty much slept the whole time.
Anybody shopping?

Sas - love that dogs are invited to your dinner. Danny Boy was so excited about the turkey yesterday, it is one of his words. He is excited today too, leftovers. We played Rummy, had a good time talking and cooking. I felt generally better than previous weeks, since off Xeloda for two days as of yesterday. No, my DD and I talk on FB chat everyday. She isn't set up for Skype yet. Something happened to their computer too, so she is using her cell I think. She begins work on 29th, two 12-hour shifts a week as a caregiver for the elderly or hospice. She is very happy with that, good company to have her foot in the door. Her DH will transfer to that company soon. He does the same, only for mentally challenged / disabled. Oh, an I love creamed corn. I would miss it too.
Hope all holidays were lovely in some way. Mine was and very relaxing. I never get enough rest before I see my DS so yesterday I went to bed at 2am once I could handle it, slept until she was coming up the driveway at 11, dressed quickly and we started cooking. That really helped. I knew my limitations and stuck to it.

Well 5 weeks now of this blasted phlebitis. Leg is still red, hot and painful. I've had 2 ultrasounds and zero blood-clots. Yay! on that at least. I've had enough though. I am calling some vascular surgeons tomorrow to see if there is anything that can be done to get me some relief.
Also, it seems that my 17 year old left hip reconstruction may be failing. I have pain with every step, right in the socket. Unfortunately the surgeon who did they original reconstruction is in Phoenix at the Mayo Clinic. So if it is failing, I'll have to travel there to see him. Thankfully he hasn't retired yet. My Ortho. Onc. in Portland is not at all thrilled with the idea of doing anything with my left hip because the procedure was so complex. When I live in Las Vegas it was no big deal to travel 350 miles to the Ortho. Onc., but from where I am now it's 1,400 miles. Yikes, quite the commute.

Read this article on the grain-free kibble many pet parents are switching their beloved pets to and thought someone might find it interesting.

Junie, Thanks for sharing. I'll stick with my cheap kibble. My cat, Squeakers, doesn't like the wet stuff. He eats a little bit because foster cat does and he doesn't want foster to get anything he doesn't have too. Without foster cat, he won't touch the stuff.

Helllo, I've been down the rabbit hole. I worked on housekeeping threads this morning then had to nap.
Junie, we need to play 20 questions, I'll call and see if it's a convenient time to talk Hugs

Poor Junie, it was a million questions

Blue, Had great fun with all the dogs on T-Day. I spaced it out. 12 pm ds & dil (they came earlier than 12) worked well. The dogs ran off the energy. 12:15 the forth dog arrived. The others were already worn out. My dear, dear friend brought treats. I can not convince him that is NOT a good thing to do in a multiple dog greet scenario. But it worked out okay.
Irony, DSI was concerned about 4 dogs being here. Yet, for the length of their life of having a dog it was always included. ?????
I've included the dogs b/c then folks don't worry about having to go home to let them out. The dogs have always gotten along well. It's so much fun watching how happy they are about being included. Lots and lots of wagging tails and good behavior after the initial running and dominance play
Most dogs were 5. They were all great together.

Sas - you're right, no treats, no quarrels. Danny Boy is doing better. Have him on PhytoMax for joints and pain and inflammation. He is doing some bounces now when he wants in the house. Long time since he did those. When it snows he has always run and played and it is what he eats for his fluid, ceases to drink water in the winter. Though I strongly discourage that and the subsequent puking due to frozen liquid.
Been sleeping the night. But going to bed closer to 2 or 4 or even 5 in morning. Too much cancer crap in my thoughts and just want to watch Gilmore Girls marathon of 153 episodes I recorded and chill, No thinking.

hi I'm new to this thread but I have nobody to talk to that can understand what I am going through right now. I'm shy but so desperate for basic validation that I will fight through my insecurity to gain perspective from people suffering the same nature of insanity I am with my diagnosis and the current situation I must survive as I am mercilessly preyed upon for my weakness during chemotherapy treatments!
My own husband and children that begged me to get proper mental health treatment for my ptsd during my diagnosis of braca 2 breast cancer claim I abandoned them for having to leave the state I live in for the duration of my treatment because the appropriate care and medication vital to save my life is legal and unattainable in a timeframe to prevent my death!
Welcome to the reality of Chris Christies Fallout after he stripped the entire state funding for EVERY service possible to his failed political bid to become Vice President, THEN claims to be the champion of mental health and addiction treatment services by leaving gutted programs that serve nobody except those that took the money and never provided the services they were given to fund!!
The new addiction program he launched is only domestic jail with full Medicaid funding to overcharge each victim under chemical restraint for 30 day minimum and zero follow up care that leaves patients the option to relapse or overdose as they are shamed and blamed for their moral failings for daring to admit they need professional help to survive!
That is what Chris Christie SHOULD be famous for, metoo movement needs an abuse of elected officials caught so blatantly violating the law with impunity believing he is above the laws he swore to honor to GET elected!!!
If anyone deserves to be locked away in his new Stanford prison experiment style of mental health treatment it's HIM!!!
Mental health system is SUCH a joke and so understaffed and overbooked that initial appointments can take over 6 months for the few that bother to take insurance at ALL, and longer for anyone qualified to prescribe medical cards or ability to fill prescriptions for medical marijuana with confirmation of qualified diagnosis verified, and charging outrageous prices for office visits while preventing qualified insured patients from ANY access at fair price over blatant extortion of state law and every federal law that protects patients rights from such indisputable industry condoned abuse of the system designed to SAVE LIVES for financial profit with undeniable lack of a single conviction for these crimes!
I finally got a Marinol prescription to stop wasting away but I am more terrified to travel with that than my morphine prescription for fear of being incarcerated as a criminal for my legal medication critical to my survival crossing any imaginary line I must to be with my family that transforms me from cancer patient to junkie criminal in the eyes of the federal government because I lack the financial ability to bribe the criminals actively extorting the entire system they implemented!
I just want to do something about this insane set of circumstances I am forced to face on chemo brain! I don't know how else to get a reality check when these things I mentioned have been so well documented and easy to research YET continues to this Day without any acknowledgement or conviction on state or federal levels!
So I guess this was a good first crack at it and I hope someone qualified will read this and finally shed light on it for the sake of all those forced to suffer because of their FALSE belief that they are untouchable once elected.
Strangest fact is, a convicted felon cannot vote but you CAN vote a convicted felon to public office!?
So who convicts the federal government for failing to uphold its OWN laws that protect those it was created to serve?
So far NOBODY because WHAT YOU gonna DO BOUT IT? The president made his fortune extorting the same state for the same reason
So who will protect people like me from DOCUMENTED CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR like that?
Don't bother calling the state police because even THEY are too afraid to go in the pine barrens with guns, so they cower in their cars and call the brave and infininatly more well trained dnr department that respects the environment and people who inhabit it because they don't go missing in the forest like the wicked do all too often!
The jersey devil will because even his legend has more honor in its motives than our president or the elected officials that continue to profit from this
