    micmel, I was pretty young myself when his movies came out. At least they were suitable for kids to enjoy with their parents =, not like some of the trash that comes out for movies today.

    Junie, Sympathies for the hives. You're right about the itching. Mine were a reaction to penicillin.

    Junie- I am so sorry for the problems you are having. I have had hives from medications before and it's awful. Feel better sister. I hope Kirby is doing well?

    Sweet deity, full body hives? Just wondering what the hell was going on would have sent me over the edge, Junie, never mind the full body itching.

    Hello to Everyone!

    Queenie - LOL! I know. As I said, with having been in the hospital twice in August with Cellulitis & Sepsis that is where my mind went. What kind of infection is this NOW? Considering that, I guess hives was a lesser evil, but still crazy making. So thankful the Benadryl & Tagament worked.

    The weather here has been glorious the last couple days. I've had the windows open and this morning I sat on my patio enjoying my coffee and did a little bit of knitting. Tomorrow, a friend and I will be getting together to have lunch and see a movie. Then on Tuesday I will go and volunteer for the first time since the last week of July. I hear that I have a 4-5 inch deep pile of paperwork waiting for me. I am actually looking forward to getting back into it.

    As we all know, October is just around the corner and Halloween. I went to my recipes to start my list for ingredients to bake my Halloween cupcakes. I found a recipe online for Maple Pecan Cupcakes with a Butter Pecan Buttercream frosting. YUM! It sounds delish. Will add it to my list.

    With that I will say Goodnight to you all. I hope you rest well tonight.

    Junie: My husband's response was "OMG, surgical scar cancer".

    Queenie - Say WHAT!!! LOL! Your DH is funny, NOT! But the benadryl & tagamet worked beautifully and I am now hive & itch free. So thankful. I wish there was some way to know before you take a drug whether or not you'll have an adverse reaction. Which reminds me, I need to call the FDA and make a report of my adverse reaction to the methyl-prednisone.

    Later!

    Sending prayers to all the sisters here in the mid-Atlantic area and/or those of you with friends and family in that area. That storm is moving in fast. Praying you are all safe and on higher ground.

    I checked on my friends and family that are in the area where Florence is heading. They are well prepared and ready.

    Junie: I apologize--that was a joke from another thread, based on the common fear that if something goes wrong, some of us get sucked down the rabbit hole of 'OMG, it's a recurrence of cancer'. Chances are whatever-it-is isn't cancer and isn't related to cancer or cancer treatment. But that's not where our mind goes.

    Queen- so true about the worries about cancer. A PA I saw at the gyn office this week said "you can never really relax around this stuff". Touche.

    It is hard many to understand that cancer check ups and worries live on forever. I have had more than a few people say "you are all done with that now" and had to explain to them unlike many other things that get treated and better, cancer is always lurking in the background. They only get it said one time, after that, my eyes glaze over and I just move on......

    Junie- you sound a lot better friend. How is Kirby? I love the fall, but it is still a bit warm here. But I have been decorating at home with fall stuff. Halloween cupcakes sound divine.

    Queenie - There is no need to apologize! I was just being a little bit facetious. Actually my first thought with the hives (before I knew that's what it was) was that I had another serious infection, since I had already been hospitalized twice in August with Cellulitis & Sepsis. When the doctor told me I had hives and was allergic to the methyl-prednisone, I was surprised, but thrilled not to have another infection. Believe it or not. I have been stuck with so many needles in the month of August for IV's ( my veins SUCK!), blood cultures, Lovenox, Faslodex, Xgeva, etc. Now if the allergic reaction had moved into anaphylaxis that would have been a whole different story. But thankfully that didn't happen.

    I hope you are having an excellent evening! Later.

    Going to save the roses and a sprig of the baby's breath and press them in a book. The pearls, vase and are being marked with the date and occasion on the bottom of the vase as a reminder.

    Here I am at 3 o clock.

    Wide awake, no one to talk.

    I slept all day, I'm also hot.

    My body aches. Neulasta shot?

    I'm dropping weight, I need to eat.

    But I can't stand, upon my feet.

    To cook a meal, so here I lay.

    At 3am, waiting for day.

    Hi WC. Hopefully you might have managed to fall asleep now. It is nearly lunchtime in Ireland!
