O lori, i am sorry for your sadness, and her passing. that is really hard. i know that there are women on here that i would absolutely bawl if i heard that. cause you really get to love someones voice, wisdom, sense of humor, spelling, fotos, and all of there personality that shines through here. ok, they might not be within a huggable distance,but it still hurts. love to all, and cami, isnt there someone that can help you post photos? i have never been able to figure out how you guys do that.0 -
Kath I'm trying--I get 1/2 there on my own then whap it stops me. WTF=Personally I think it's a conspiracy LOL

I know! & plus i just can't wait to see what you can't wait to show us! gotta run, that man is pretending like we are in vegas, and ordering up some "room service" ;{} !!!! i told him to go ask a cab driver.0 -
hhhh0 -
right now I don't think ANY body can post pics. There has been an "upgrade". The mods say IT is aware.0 -
Spookie there are quite a few that can post, trying to teach me, altho trying to teach me is like trying to teach an orange to talk. I just get 1/2 and I'm lost--some are saying Google Chrome, but again I don't know that stuff==Maybe if I started using a computer years ago I would have caught on better---when I worked the computer was only an in-State computer, so sure I could find out about people in ILL but there was no Internet, probably cuz we'd all be on it.We did have email tho cuz we needed that for people contacting us so that I took full advantage of--but I didn't know anything and I don't know much more now. And doing what I do surprises me and when I learned how to print, now that magic is gone for me/Chit
Oh I have a Drs. app't in the morning and I have no ride, I'm so mad at myself I should have made it later in the day but I thought I could get a ride--everyone is busy that isn't working which is only 2 people. Everybody's job gets in my way.0 -
So sorry to her about julie, as for all your conversations re semi techie stuff I am l o s t.......0 -
Lily I'm Lost too. totally/0

hi, teka cat! did you always get a flu shot? i never have, and i never get the flu. saw my pcp,he said get one, but i dont want to. i never got flu even during active tx, and dont really want to start now. yuck. good luck on no diabetes!! : ]]0 -
Glad u got all that stuff done Teka, Kath I'm like u--they actually scare me. Well I missed my app't this is crazy, I made anther one of course.0
-
Funny flu shots should come up. I have a little band-aid "badge", having had mine just a few hours ago. (The district encourages all teachers to get 'em since our kids bring in everything but homework!) :-)
Conferences are tomorrow night and Thursday night. Oh, joy.
Camille, good luck with your appt. Hope you found a ride.
Hugs to all.0 -
oh no! shingles vaccine! i have been dreading that conversation with my doc, too. just don't like volunteering, even tho i know it is smart to avoid more suffering later. maybe camillegal and i can dare each other? and then ill chicken out, making her very very brave and good, which i am sure she is, anyway.0 -
Did any of U ever get shingles????
well years ago i had it...before the beast...I would rather give birth naturally to triplets then ever get the shingles again'
im serious...i was in the hospital for 7 days in isolation...
please get that shot....you will never regret it
BTW you can get shingles over and over again.
After tx in 2010 I ran to get it...counted the days till i was able to get it.0 -
Im glad u got the shot Teka.
I hear the word shingles and i still run even tho I no I cannot ever get it again.0 -
my dr.told me different.
she said i could never get it again.
what do u no that i dont????
now im scared again.0 -
Hi hermits. Reading the discussion here about A1C, flu shots and the rest.
I have been getting the flu shot for years as I am a more risk due to asthma which I have had for years. For someone like me, flu can turn into either bronchitis and/or pneumonia. I am also due for an updated pneumonia shot too,
My sister actually got shingles during her chemo, but not bad. Grannydukes got a bad case of it, so you never know. Most insurance won't pay for it until after you are 60, so I cannot get paid for right now. My PCP checked on that as she thought I should have it. I need to get my flu shot done this week, thanks for the reminder!
Teka- good luck with the A1C test. I always have had good fasting blood glucose but my doctor started last year with the first A1C, and then again this year. Last year was elevated, this year it hit the bottom number to be considered diabetic. I have been doing a lower carb diet for a month now and have lost 8 pounds so far. My doctor has me on a 45 grams of carbs per meal, 15 grams per snack and it is working. I feel a lot better too. I am trying to exercise some every day too. Tonight I went to the gym on the way home from work and pumped some iron.
Cami- sorry you missed your apt. How is the D situation? Are you still struggling with that? I hope you are feeling better.
Watching The Voice tonight and working on a status report for my project.0 -
ok. i dont want shingles. how much is it for a shot? i am 53. hey thanks for info, jazzy, i didn't even know that they had a shot for pneumonia. my next to last herceptin tomorrow, i will ask if they give shots there. all right! good job on making it to the gym too. something i have yet to do. just walking. people DO walk in LA! and run and swim and all sortsa stuff, just not me. where is lori0 -
Oh Granny it's horrible--my mom had it a couple of times and she said pretty much what u did, my cousin had it not to long ago too. I don't know why I hate shots so much for these diseases-not shots in general but good shots. Kath believe me I'd be the chicken.
Skittle weren't u off today and it's funny Joey's conferences are Tues, nite and Thurs. to around here. Oh all the time u put in, I don't think a lot of people realize that. All I ever did was volunteer 1 afternoon a week for my girls and I didn't even like that, only cuz my kids thought it was cool. Well I didn't. Well it's been a crazy day I hope tomorrow is better.
And I truly hope u all have a decent day tomorrow. And Jazzy no matter what u'r doing a good job with u'r health--0 -
yes Teka im glad i came to this thread.
BTW i had shingles on 1 side of my face including my eye....
if one sista learns something from this im a happy person.
and now ill say good nite....Its been a long day

Hi all, hope everyone is well. Life has been crazy busy and I just want to slow down and take some me time. Everyone doesn't seem to realize that I just don't have the energy stores I used to. Ok, thanks for letting me whine.
I too am feeling the urge to hermit right now. Pinktober can be a little much these days. I think it brings back memories for me ... was diagnosed at the end of October 2 years ago, almost. I usually let people make up there own minds about what to support, but try to educate .... not just with BC .... but anything people are asking you to buy in "support" of something. Ask questions.... not all fundraising is equal ... some of these pink items and trinkets just raise awareness .... nothing goes to support anything meaningful ... know what your money is doing. I know some women find comfort in groups ... online like this and others by participating in group activities ... more power to them, but not for all. I do help with a local fundraiser that has bought many things for the local hospital's breast assessment centre ... currently working on a software program to help dr.s make the best treatment decision. I benefited from this and so I don't mind giving back. Have friend who is stage IV who does not like pink junk, but does wear a pink ribbon necklace. She feels she has earned the right to wear that ribbon ... and knowing her strength and beauty, she has!0 -
Oh Jane u r doing more than u know--It sounds like it. I hermit on and off mostly on sometimes--I'm just getting tired of questions cuz they are still coming-to many SE's even when I just lost a nail, it was a sily conversation cuz who knows why a lot of things happen. I come here to moan and whine not have this as a point of conversation when I'm out.
Teka u are so funny--NO u'r not chopped liver---which by the way I love on crackers==Years ago I spent New Years every year with my cousins and my one cousin always insisted we have chopped liver and herring at midnight for good luck--well then we couldn't stay up that late and all hell broke loose.0 -
Teka so do I. LOL0

Whoa... From cracker menus to kiss kiss. You ladies are all over the place! :-)
No, Cami, I didn't have the day off (boo hoo!) Our conferences are after working all day. We have a day of school, then conferences 'til 7:30... Then we do it again on Thursday. (Do Joey's teachers get a day off? Lucky ladies!) But... one night down, one to go. Things went pretty well, so I can't complain.
Jazzy... hilarious photo. I think we've all felt like the crying one lately!
bgirl... good to hear from you!
kathe and granny... hi.
teka...0 -
Hi bgirl- good to hear from you. I know how hard it is to make people understand the lack of energy. My sister and I went through treatment together and she seems like she is much more back to normal than I am, but she is also not doing any AIs either. I think we are all different with what we go through and how we recover. I am not as social as I used to be as it takes everything I have got to take care of myself, my home and my business. Sometimes I wonder if I am missing things, but then sometimes people remind me solitude is a really lovely thing!
I do software project management and would be very interested to hear more about the software product you are working on (assuming that is not proprietary info)?0 -

Sometimes being a hermit means saying I don't wanna, and you can't make me. Phfffiitt(sounds of razz berries)0
