    Hermits,  My three week vacation from Arimidex (anastrozole) is over.   Still hurting and in pain but many of the SE had subsided--at least while I was off the meds.  Main trouble is with the knee pain and bone pain; so, I decided to go ahead and have the cortisone shots next week.   The MO did say that almost all the ALs will have these serious side effects so I chose to stay on the one I know.   He ordered me a bone density test and said he'll see me in three months.  Before I go back to see him, I will see my PCP, my BS, my PS and the orthopedic doctor.  Hope someone can work some majic.  It is Springtime and I need to get out and have some fun. 

    It's a gorgeous day here in Southern Illinois. I believe it is 70+ degrees out and sunny.  I'll get to enjoy it when I am off work in an hour.  Legs and knees hurting so I'll go home for a couple hours and rest then go to dinner with my BFF.   Hope the rest of you have the opportunity to enjoy the day and weekend!

    Welcome to Springtime everyone!

    Teka and Ducky ... thank you for starting my day off with a smile.

    Today, I am planning to drag hoses around the yard ... just a little ... to give some plants a drink.  It's a small yard with a small number of plants, but watering before the automatic sprinklers are turned on is a lot of work.

    Thanks Cami...........she is going to be 56......she had double pneumonia when she was born and was not expected to live........at 19 she had a gran mal seizure for the first time and was diagnosed with epilepsy....dealt with that for  8 years and finally had experimental surgery at Jefferson Hospital in Phila....very delicate surgery and she was awake through the entire thing.....was not sure of the outcome....she could become blind, or lose her ability to speak, and at that time had 2 children....she came out fantstic.

    Now she has some kind of a bacterial infection in her lungs, which she takes medicine for with horrible SE"s, but she plugs on working everyday for her brother.....she just changed job ......was in the banquet service running an entire company for someoen, bu the work got too hard, so her brother took her in with him to give her a less taxing job........wonderful daughter and mother.......she will be home Sunday......

    Ducky, enjoyed the pics and so happy for Grayson.  She is really doing well, isn't she.  I can imagine how your daughter must miss her son.  She has certainly had to weather extreme health issues.  I hope her lung infection resolves quickly.  It was wonderful that the lung infection did not keep her from visiting her son.

    Sally...........oh heaven's nothing could keep her from that boy...........she loves him dearly.......she also has a beautiful daughter, married, and now is waiting to be a grandmother........sad my grandaughter is having a little problem, so the baby is taking longer then expected to join our large family......but it will happen........This is the same daughter, with her daughter........

    Hi ladies- back from the hot springs with my east coast friend. One of the most fun weekends in a long time, something that has been overdue to me for awhile. We had a good visit, lots of girlfriend catch up, good soaking, divine treatments, healthy eating, little red wine, more soaking, a fab yoga class, and a bit of shopping. It was a was a weekend filled with a bit of everything I love, including a good friend who cares about me!

    Dropped my friend off at the airport an hour ago and am now settling in for a nap and then to some unpacking and laundry. 

    I see people here who are connecting in person with one another and think that is so cool! I hope it was a great get together.
