Hi Jazzy, thank you!

Oh??????? Young and cute? I might be too busy to watch over YOU.... Ha!
Yes! I LOVE mornings! Always have.... Is there such a thing as an "early morning" gene? I have that! Both my Grandparents, and Mom & Dad, AND my Brother are all the same! I love to watch the sun-rise.... that is of course when it is not snowing....

Oops Loverly, not Jazzy, I' 've reached the point the waiting doesn't mess with me anymore. The irony though is this is the doc I wanted to go to last fall and Jan. But he's strictly referral. Total three docs didn' t know what to do--one GU and two gyn. The last gyn doc was willing to make the referral when she didn't know what to do. So, when this one today knew what he was looking at, and had a thorough dx plan within about twenty minutes, which will be based on pathology results, I was tickled. Tickled. Happy
It's analogous to finding bigwig thyroid doc.0 -
Chevy, when I was young and the cutie residents were tantalizing. It was a shock one day to realize I could be their older sister, then a few more years I was treating them like sons............
Lovely, still on kindle..... hp should be back in a few days. Hope so, this sucks lol.
Off to help dbf...bank.

Love- here is hoping you end up with a McDreamy or McSteamy during your procedure. I care most about competent surgeons, but if they are cute, that is fine too.

Competent tops my list. I remember the young East Indian Pediatric Surgeon who did my DD1's lap biopsy.. all I could think of was he looked like a soccer star all easy going, handsome and fit, old enough to be a professor how??? My DD1 is a very good judge of character and she loved him. I liked that he was exceptionally good with a disabled child, no ego - all about making the kid comfy and relaxed. Everything went great.. except I felt very old.
Lovlife- it will go well; we will it so! Somebody will keep Chevy from falling out of your pocket and behaving herself. Glad Sassy that you found someone to have confidence in and has a plan. May the road ahead be smooth for you all.
I had someone email me that thing about aspargus curing cancer... sigh. I can't believe it. I remember reading the posts on thread "OMG they found a cure for stupid!" I laughed my tail off the first part of that thread... so funny. I don't know what to make for dinner... not aspergus.

Rose- well, those experts don't stop coming, do they? There is a thread here about Stupid things People Say. I have a list a mile long and still hear some doozies.
I may have shared this story before, so forgive me if I have in advance of sharing it again. When my mother had her stroke, her neurologist came in to talk to us the next day and he looked like a movie star. Both my sister and I just dropped our jaws when he came in the room and talked about him later too. My mother, who was particular to handsome men, was a bit agitated and more focused on us than him. So she missed the whole thing. We told her later she had a handsome doctor, because well, that was just really important to her.
I work a lot in hospitals a lot with my consulting work. Most doctors are not good looking, but I am not hiring them to be a model, but to fix me.
0 -
Oh, but it's okay if they can "fix" you too... Ha! I remember one Doctor came in to see DH when he was laying there in Emergency, and Sheri & Janie saw him, and nearly fell on the floor!
Sheri said ... "I think I feel a head-ache coming on."... I just watched those two.... as they tried to act normal.... Ha!

Kinda like this?
And wasn't George Clooney some sort of Doctor on TV once?
0 -
oh my! That looks like the resident I had in December except mine had a ponytail. Way to young to be a MD. He was headed the Las Vegas to practice.
Yes. George was in ER

Hi Blondie- Glad to see your post and that you had fun at the race. I am sorry it is hard for you to read with your allergies. I hope hospice is treating you well. ((((Hugs))))

Blondie, good to see you ! Hope you are eating well, and are comfortable. Sorry the vision is being wacky.
Loveroflife, I will keep CHEVY under my big feet, in your pocket. That way I can peek around, keep a eye on the whole process. Those expanders sound uncomfortable. I had a power port, was very happy to get it removed, almost a year ago.
Rose, I do love asparagus. If it could cure us, lol, it should of prevented those of us that eat it regularly to be Cancer free..... Crazy ideas.... Wish it was that easy....
HOOTIE Patty P, thought of you today. Wish you were still feeling on top on the world, sorry to hear about your headaches. I get a kick out of you telling us you live vicariously through us. Not today.... I was a total klux....I put ear wax removal in my eye...OUCH...stupid, grabbed the little bottle, did not look. Then a few hours later, I bit my lip.
Hello to all you fine ladies, I am BUSY.....house is torn apart. Storage is filling up. Next few weeks will be a whirlwind....
Has MammaRay checked in lately?

Loveoflife, yep, this Dr. Can help you....

HiHo! You were the only one UP! It's like you were talking to yourself.... Like I am NOW... Ha!
So you used ear drops in your EYES? Do you know some of that stuff has peroxide in it? Well you probably do NOW, right? So see, this is what you do.... Like I just did for my poor little Husband, who cannot see much without his reading glasses on, much LESS at night...
You get those labels... That stick on envelopes... And with a black magic marker, you write on there WHAT it really is, stick it on the bottle, and then tape it on, for good measure... In YOUR case, write EYES.... or EARS.....!!! How can I stress this enough? Get your glasses on girl!
You two, need to turn a light on when you throw those pills down the hatch.... In OUR case, I wrote STOMACH on one... for Ranitidine... Then ALLERGY for Claritin.... DIAHRRHEA for Immodium AD.... And I left the ALEVE alone, because he KNOWS that one.
We HAVE night-lights on all over the house.... Like we are going to get up and fix a complete meal or something.... But older people, case in point, NEED little "helpers" along the way....
So good morning to Smarty, and Blondie! All the others are still sleeping, it looks like... Doesn't anybody get up early around here?
Man, it's so terrible about that Amtrak train wreck last night!!!!!!!!! Just makes you sick....

Had a small crisis this morning. Ran out of the facial cleanser I had been using and I knew I had a brand new tube of a cleanser from Avon. Went to get it out of the cabinet where I had put it to find it gone! Tore the bathroom apart looking for it, still couldn't find it. So I called DH to ask him if he had seen it since I had gotten it, only to be told that he had moved it. I tore the batroom again, still no facial cleanser. So I called him again and he still insisted that he had moved it somewhere but he couldn't remember, told him I thought he was lying to me and thinking this was funny! So back I go to the bathroom to tear it apart for the third time, only to find the object of my search behind my hubby's stash of emergency disposable razors! Had to call him back and apologize and to tell him that I had found it!

Hi Blondie, great to hear from you!!!!!0 -
Mommy- I get upset when I cannot find something either, which is constant around here. Glad everything is okay.
Blondie- hi sister, good to see you posting here. Sorry about the vision and hope that improves.
Hol- Teka really loves GC. I think that is her doctor of choice.
Lots of rain here again, the El Ninjo cycle that is back in the west doing it's thing again. Sun is trying to peak out, but more rain will come today into tonight. More Saturday and then next week. Chevy, my guess is you may be getting some of this too (or more snow?) We need the moisture, and think we may have a cooler wetter summer. They have been forecasting a wet spring and it is here to stay I think?

nooooooooooo more snow for chevy!!!!!! It gives her snow brain!!!!!!!
0 -
I will be money that Denver may have gotten snow. Northern NM did. It can snow up north well into May, right Chevy? Nothing like spring in the Rockies!

Morning, still on kindle. Paid Hp the extra 15$ to have computer back in a week. IIt's now nine days.
JAZzy working a problem. Could you remind me what doc ordered the Vitamin D3 --5000 unit? Thanks. El Nino for us on the east coast,usually means a light hurricane season.
Blondie sorry about the eyes. Glad you had fun at the race with the kids.

hi all, loveroflife should be home in a couple more hours. She was first this morning. I had the same doc the first sx, he's really nice. So hopefully she'll pop in soon.
I think I did something kind of stupid this morning. I like the Purex 3-1 sheets for the washer and dryer. Purex stopped making them. I have bought them from Amazon, but they're now out or too expensive. So I found some on eBay. I just order 2 batches of 6 for $150! That should keep us clean for 2 years!! It works out to .57 a load. It was nice when I could get them for $5 a box. This works out to $12 a box. Oh well, I like what I like. As long as we dont run out of water I can do laundry.
Blondie and Patty, sorry for the ills, hope your both doing better

I'm pretty good at finding where I put stuff, its the times that either I forget where I put it or someone moves it and doesn't tell me where it went that puts me off kilter! I mean I won't even let my mom near my cabinets to try and organize them if she comes down to my house. She rearranges everything and it takes me at least a month afterwards to get everything back to the way I am used to it being. Don't know if this a result of having to deal with chemobrain or just I am so used to my way of doing things!

First, I would like to give Patty and MS.BLONDIE A HUG. HOPE YOU HAVE ABETTER DAY TODAY.

Blondie..... take care kiddo.... Hope they or you figure out why you can't see....

Blondie- are you on any pain killers? I have a hard time focusing when I am taking them.
Sassy- my PCP was the one who told me to up my Vit D. My Vit D was always on the low side. I was taking 1000 ius per day. I upped it to 2000 and still low so she said try 4-5K. That was my last physical in July of last year. Blood work in March had me at 50 for a reading, the best it has ever been (used to be like 20 or so). There is a concern with Vit D toxicity, so you have to be careful with the stuff.
Speaking of my PCP, I saw her this afternoon for my breathing issues and told her I thought it was my asthma. But as we were talking, I also said "well, since my breathing has been bothering me off for a bit and I have been feeling tired, it made me start to work more might be going on with my lungs. I worry ever little ache and pain and that the cancer may be back." So she said "lets do a chest X-ray" and my films were good. Whew. I was more worried than I realized, despite knowing my asthma and typical symptoms. But knowing bc mets to the lungs, I figured I would bring it up as a "can we rule this out please?" She heard me and we got an answer quickly on that today. This was my first lung X-ray since I was diagnosed in 2012 and they went looking to make sure it was not anywhere else. Makes me feel good to know my lungs are just struggling with asthma (and that is enough). I am doing Advair treatments now.
