Prayers needed please. I'm in hospital waiting for surgery time to remove mass in brain. I'm so afraid. This came out of left field. All my path reports and checkup s were good after surgery last July. Just finished rads in December and everything was going well. So upset. Love you guys.

Hellooooooo Owlettes!!!
Long time no hoot.
No way I can catch up; just want to send love and hugs and prayers to those who need them right now.
Catching up from the memorial service (went beautifully - no family psychodrama!); jury duty (actually made it to the jury box but was excused during the "voir dire" process); and suddenly realizing that Spring is definitely here.
Spent Friday at the Home Show at the Fairgrounds, decided there was nothing there I couldn't live without. Friday night was a dinner and "Sweetheart Marriage Conference" at our church - warm, funny presenter - an ordained minister with 30+ years of doing these kinds of workshops - and went back Saturday morning to finish.
Then spent the rest of the day digging up and moving plants and trees in the back yard! Sweaty, tired, but felt productive!
Sunday morning was church and Sunday evening was our small group meeting; there are ten of us (all good friends) that meet twice a month at each others' homes for fellowship, support, and killer desserts!!!
Today - I never got dressed!!! Slept in, laid around in my jammies, finished two books, and now it's time to go to bed again. I never would have made it on that jury. I have my priorities!!!
Once again, many prayers going up for all who need them.

Thanks for all the support, Owlettes!
What a crazy day! Saw PS, "farewell" appointment. Sad and glad, she and her staff are so kind and compassionate. They took my worries and fears seriously and always came up with a "do-able" plan with lots of hugs and laughs to boot. She's pleased with the outcome, I am took. 17 years of uni-boob and no cleavage, this is so different. She answers all my questions, probably spent half an hour with her today. We both had tears.
My PCP is literally across the hall so I got an afternoon appointment to try to get rid of this disgusting cough. I was on anti-bi's (Z pack?), she's got me on inhalers and Phenergan with codeine to sleep. Still considering this as seasonal allergies.
Blessings, you're amazing! PCP loved that I've been drinking the "get well" cocktail of ginger, lemon and honey in warm water! You're a genius!
Oh great, I hear the winds are kicking up tomorrow! No wonder my sinuses were hurting tonight.
Tomorrow is MO and GI. Fun! When I think of a question, I add to a file I have set up on my phone. The day/night before appt it's just a matter of putting all the thoughts into a logical order and print it out. Two column format, questions on the left, responses on the right.
Better post before I lose this.
Ok, every time I try to post now, I get the Something went wrong message and get kicked out of BCO.

Bluebird, ditto Smaarty. Did I miss something? Did this come up as suddenly as it seems? Sending you hugs, love and healing thoughts and most definitely prayers.
April, you and your family will also be in my prayers, how wonderful you have the wonderful wedding and baby to look forward to.
Sassy, still doing the nasal rinse but need to do at least twice a day.
Hi1 - yes, this is my first colonoscopy. Really scared because I've been putting it off for years due to my fears. Stupid, I know, kicking myself. Both DD and DH had theirs years ago, I'm petrified of surgery and IV's. I was a preemie, lots of bronchitis as an infant, later tonsillitis. Mom was a pediatric nurse (in the hospital where I was born), she had to give my injections (we lived back east in the snow when they made house calls, mom thought it better to do it herself than deal with the commute, so I gained her fear of having to give to her child. I still remember her talking herself into it, we were both crying). It's a phobia - full blown, not rational, but it exists. So, I'm so worried I've waited too long...... Especially with BC twice. Am praying for a clean report.
Sweet, welcome, what a difference a year makes!
Then, on top of everything, I went to this women's retreat 2011 and 2012, had to miss last year in between surgeries (in the mountains, usually very cold, snowed both years I went, no way could I handle last year). This year, want to go, but money is an issue. Humbled myself and requested a scholarship first of the year. No response after lots of inquiries. Was told my response never received. WTH? Now, today, lots of phone calls, there may be an opening, it's this weekend, nice last minute notification in addition to all the doctor appointments. Stress, no wonder I'm getting a migraine tonight.
I think I'm done rambling. Let's see if this posts (without an error message)

Oh Bluebird! I'm soooo sorry! Just dag-nab-it-all!!!!!!!! Damn! Are you alright? What did those people DO to you? How can we help? I just wish we could all be with you, and sing silly songs, and bring you snacks to eat... All except Cammi! Did you see THAT? She has more things wrong with her than any 10 people should. She might even be contagious! I mean she is an anomoly...or a loosely woven woman. So we will leave her in the car....
I'm just sorry littleBlue... we need you here with us...in a hurry... Please let us know what is going on... We might have some influence over those Docs of yours...
We love you! Sweet dreams...xoxoxoxo

This just makes me so sad..... How is it we can cry over someone we hardly know? That we've never really met?

Good Morning Girls!
Chevy, I think sometimes we know each other better here than we know some of the people that we see all the time or our own families. I know some of the people here "get" me better than literal people I can reach out and touch.
BlueBird, I hear the birds outside chirping. I bet you are one of them. Hope you woke to a bright morning whistling a tune!

That's soooooo sweet 444444444! I know... I want to hear your "birds" singing..... We'll all hold LittleBird up..... xoxoxo

Love the meerkats hug!

I agree Cami, hard to know someone in our circle is facing this new challenge. Like I've said, I am a total worry wart. Wish there was a better saying for that. Warts are unwanted..hmm. Bluebird is a tough bird, she will pull through and tell it to go f itself.

Hole I'm a worrier like mad but about other people really--not myself for some strange reason--but when u care about people and friends and family u just don't want anything to happen to them ever. Just like when I read here sometimes I can't remember names and I know some don't post regularly, but for the ones that post all the time I wonder why not. Did something happen? So we all worry just differently.

Does brain surgery take a long time? I would want them to go slowly and carefully. Continuing to send healing thoughts. Hope the surgery goes well and the findings are benign.

Wren, I think it takes a long time. I wonder if Sas has her phone #. That way her family could give Sas a quick text or call.
Maddy, I hope your weekend works out. Big Bear ? I used to go there with the Y teens & I learned how to ski there. Colonoscopy is a piece of cake compared to all this bc crap.

I am so behind and been reading for pages. Thanks GolfGirl for thinking of me. Just life and its ups and downs.
Friday I did lab work and hoped I'd catch up here on the weekend. Not sure what happened but I didn't. Yest. DH found overflow pressure release on water heater leaking. Morning calls to Lowes, manu, plumber. Turns out the house water pressure was off the charts and making wh overflow. So bright and early this am same plumber arrives to replace the pressure regulator on the water line. $300 later all is better. Except I have hardly any water pressure. We used to complain of no water pressure and I still think even when it was high it is lower than city water pressure (co-op water). My new low flow toilets will take forever to fill - must plan for potty times to lengthen. Might take longer than short commercial breaks.
Bluebird - just came to your post. See that you're already in surgery by this time. Prayers are with you and eagerly awaiting word when you can post. Love you bunches. Lots of goatie hugs too.
2nd time - I seem to have the allergies worse this year. Only the last couple of years has anything bothered me the slightest. PCP told me to take my Claritin (stern look) and gave me steroid nasal spray. I wake up with buggered up nose and little bit of bleeding. When I finally get that cleared out some, I think hot coffee helps haha, then I use the spray. I skipped the spray for 2 days and boy howdy I needed it today. OO - GI funday tomorrow for you. Like I said on other thread once you get over the prep easy peasy. Prayers for negativo results and the 10 year plan for you. Hope you get the scholarship to womens retreat.
I found the best ginger teabags at Central Mkt but I saw them somewhere else too World Market I think. Called Triple Leaf Tea 100% ginger. Pretty long steep time to get strong enough. I am just like SassyPants - buy stuff and it rots in veg. bin. Fresh ginger would be better but with the tea bags its always there.
