ziggy, when did you learn that your as& was connected to your breasts? I found out with the TE surgery. Who knew. There's suppose to a thread somewhere that gives wiping tips. Too late now.
Who had the cute ears? Chevy? Your DB did too! I think it's kind of cute. Love the old photo. We should post a pic from when we were cute, whatever age that was. Chevy- you behaving? No climbing or going down stAirs, right.

Oh OH I hate to brag, well no I don't but I have perfect ears, perfect size, perfect shape and perfect angle--that's my best feature, everything else is more than blah, in fact I cover my mirrors and tell everyone someone just passed and I/m Jewish.

Today was a anniversary of sorts for DH and me. We met on 2/22.66. WE didn't either one of us feel like going out and I didn't feel like cooking so we just heated up something from the freezer but I did make strawberry sundays for dessert.
Sleep well all.

Ziggy---low cost sauna LOL. You should post that on the Hot Flash Forum. Good one.
Blessings, Protective Bubble --Thanks I'll try to use that this week in preparation for sx. Sx's are hard on everyone. It may be persumptive, but I've worked every single aspect that I'll be going through, add to that consumate (sic) worrier. Also, had a patient with a thyroid storm on the OR table. Temp went from normal to 106 in 2-3 minutes. I never met another nurse that's been around one. I'm hoping My Dear God doesn't expect me to have another learning experience.
Hi Jwoo----great name for a gal coming to this thread--Jwooohoot, Jwoot, LOL we will have lots of fun with your name toowoo.
Maddy hope you feel better, It's always sumpin. The only improvement on Blessings Toddy is add some whiskey or bourbon---then you don't care as well as having a soothed throat.

Blessing----------so glad the squirrel ended up okay---whew touch and go. I put it on the fuzzy thread

I'm up! Who is this ziggy-pop-tart lil' shit that knows me from my previous life? She's a brat, I tell you! Out to dis-parage my reputation.... the one I had many moons ago.
Man, I had the WORST night... Got up to take just 1 Oxydodone, and it stuck, because I didn' t drink enough ater, then my stomach felt like awful, and I finally gave it up and went in on the recliner!
Okay Sass, please help me here, and make it easy so I don't have to make this brain research! I'm taking 2 X-strength Tylenol like evry 5-6 hours.... And it works just as well as the oxy... Can I just keep on taking this for awhile? I'll ask my PC tomorrow when I go, but I just wanted your in-put on this also!
I use ice, when I can, and I tried heat yesterday also.... Just getting impatent for this to heal, and quit hurting!
Oooooh the Squirrel!!!!!!!! I almost was scared he wouldn't make it, Ha! We have a regular Squirrel family.... over across our fence, living in the ditch somewhere! Man, those things can FLY like a bird almost! DH puts out all the scraps for them, on top of this stand next to the ditch, and we watch them sit there, and chomp chomp, and play music really loud, and just carouse around all day!
Until the Crows come.... They are just giant pests...
Cammi, DANG girl! You ARE perfect! Who knew? Show off.

Chevy, I'll call in a few minutes to discuss particulars.
The general guideline is no more then 4000 mg of tylenol/acetominophen / APAP in 24hours. Tylenol can be tough on the liver and kidneys. There was a consideration awhile back to reduce that amount to 3200 mg in 24 hours.
Tylenol or it's generics are in over 600 drugs.
If there is any liver or kidney malfunction, the dose should be reduced.
NEVER take tylenol or generics before drinking alcohol and for at least 12 hours after drinking alcohol.
As always discussing all medicines with your doc is important. Having all your medicines on file with your pharmacy is important too. Ask for a drug interaction check any time a new prescription or over-the-counter(OTC) drug is added to your drug regimen.
All drugs have consequences. Never assume any drug, OTC drug, Vitamins, Herbals are safe

Chevy- how are you doing/feeling?
Blessings- wishing the best for the memorial service and family. I know they can act out the worst during these times. Bubble up and good luck.
Jwoo- I was able to write off medical costs in 2012 due to lower income (I am a consultant and worked little that year), but expect I won't be able to this past year. It is all based on the % of your income. I have my taxes into my accountant and waiting to hear. It is worth looking at especially if you have spent thousands last year as many of us have.

This is likely to make little sense b/c it is technical. I have been an advocate of genetic testing for liver enzyme pathways since 2010. It's overall name is Cytochrome 450 pathways. The test through genelex -YouScript covers 2D6, 2C9, 2 C19----those three for me are normal metabolizer. Vkroc1--is intermediate metabolizer---it means should I ever be given Coumadin/Warfarin an anticoagulant, I have to be started at a lower dose than usual normal range. REALLY nice to know since 1:15 hospital admissions in the USA is related to problems with coumadin.
What I just found out was 3A4 is intermediate metabolizer for me. The specific genetics weren't known until 2011. SO, I'll cut my MO some slack. In April 2009, my first and only chemo almost killed me. Taxotere is metabolized through 3A4. My dose should have been lower. It can be interpreted that I was overdosed.

Makes sense to me sassy. If only we knew then what we know now. TG you stopped after one infusion!
I asked my onc to test for tamoxifen metabolizer CYP2D6 but he said no, we'll just put you on a standard dose and see how you do. Haven't had too many issues so I've been on that same dose since then - 20 mg tab qd - which is probably what everyone else gets too, regardless of size/shape/genetics. Some day we'll know better..
