Hello ladies, Just stopping by to say hello. I went to bed too early last night....10 and that is early for me, but I came home from work tired and lasted til then cuz I knew if I went to bed at 7, I would be up again at midnight....as it was I did not wake up til 4 so I have walked the dog, done some sorting of papers that always pile up on the DR table and got on here to see if anyone is up. I have to be at the hospital at 7 for my bone scan injection. Guess you and I will both be on the table today, Alyson....I hope they are just being cautious with you and it is nothing.

Hi girls,
Just a quick post about the DH insanity. Now he's mad at me because he wanted to go on job interview in some small town in South Dakota. I said just go and we'll take it from there but then he canceled it and now he's pouting and or planning a drinking binge saying he'd go if it weren't for me. He would have to sell the house and move within a month with or without me and my cancer, WTF. I can't stand the person I was so happy to marry 4 years ago. Talk about putting the cart before the horse. Depending on whats going on around here I may or may not be online later. I'm just tired of feeling bad all the time emotionally and physically.

Valgal- he is making his own choices...you said go check it out..if he chooses not to and blames you...NOT your fault my dear...really! don't waste your energy on it if you don' t have to...I know...easier said than done...but healing takes energy too so remember YOU are worthy of the energy.
alyson- how did today go? I go see my oncologist tomorrow am and I refuse to think about it tonight excep tomention it here...out of my hands so....no point in wasting my time on it. I will be open to what he has to say...not adding anything to my pill regime until the ge the BP leveled out....feel like last night's warmed up supper

OMG I just typed everyone a note and LOST IT all. So here's the short version.
Howdy Everyone! I see some new folks joined us welcome.
Bonnie you have the same name as my sister! (Bonita) We don't know where my English born Mom came up with that one but we always called her Bonnie.
Angel how do you like living in such an isolated area? Is the local pub your refuge? I'm sure I would be like that in a small town. BUT if my DH got the job he was going for (town administrator) I would have to closet drink and that gets lonely. LOL I'd be the gossip of the town probably.
Hi to SAS and Gina and all of our new friends - I may have to go undercover tonight so I don't know if i'll be up too late - hopefully i'll be on later.

Sandee I hope you will TRY to take it easy until you feel adjusted to these meds. I know you're hyper but just take a deep breath and get a good book and relax. Deep breathing would be good. You'll probably feel wierd until everything gets regulated. p.S. thanks for the good vibes on the Dh problems. What a baby!!!

valgal,
yeah sometimes i feel isolated. especially cause of my age. all my friends work full time, have young kids and families of their own, so after the shock of all this, they mostly kinda went away.. now, i do find refuge at the little bar here in my town. those people have continually brought us dinners, sent home a little mini bottle of wine with a note to feel better and everyone signed it, and they continue to check on me. when chemo was done, it wasn't my friends from my work that threw me a party, it was my bar friends that did.
so, i start rads in a couple weeks, then i will be going back to work after that. kinda ready to kinda not. my husband and I work at the same place. and i keep hearing horror stories about the place! ugh!!! when i go back i vow not to get myself as worked up as i did before!!!!!!
sending tink some huge cyber hugs!!!! we all need a good shoulder to cry on or vent to. cause we all know everything is never always perfect!!!

Hey It's time ladies ---we are here and should do something to make us laugh . I'm Irish that means telling stories. Something that made yourself laugh.
I'll start---i'm a nurse , we had to carry cell phones. It was one of those days that it seemed like a phone call every few minutes. After the upteenth, I put the phone in my pocket. Put my stethoscope to my patients heart and said this is sas can I help you. Thank god it was an alzheimers patient.

Hey I don't want to talk to the chickens tonite. Maybe I' ll talk to the dog, but then she thinks it always means we're going for a run. Thats a hoot in itself. I go to this isolated dirt road and hold the leash out the window drive on the wrong side of the road and run her. From 5 -20 miles an hour average 10-12 mph- she loves it. She's 68 lbs, keeps her very trim. She's all muscle. But Iwatch everything like a hawk for the rare occassion she breaks towards the car. She's learned she does that we stop and no more running that day.
There was a dead gator the other day that someone took the head and tail ----iilegal.. about 30+ vultures. She was defininitely put in the car when I saw that commotion coming.

Sandee- bp definitely to low--get a monitor--reli-on from Walmart is consumer reports best buy at 40$ and has omron innardsas near as I know. Keep a daily record for doc. Gets a better response when they see the numbers. Believe it or not the American heart Assoc wants the systolic between 110-<120. Problem with that is it's hard not to overshoot and get it too low. Plus a lot of herbals and our chemo drugs affect bp meds. Run a drug checker on Epocrates.com. good site ---not my favorite. But my fav is very technical, But will share it with anyone interested. Saved my life.

Hello everyone! Ok funny story, let's see there are so many of them....the company I work for had a little office in Austin, and then our main one in San Antonio. The guy from Austin calls and says he is out of paper can we order him some? The receptionist tells him, how 'bout I just fax you some?
