    Cami- MO said I am doing just fine. Will see him again later in the year. We will check on my bones before my next visit with a bone density test. 

    Retail update-got a note on e-mail that Coldwater Creek is closing, filing bankrupcy. They are going to be liquidating their stores and on line merchandise through the summer. I was in there last a few months ago. They seem like they have been struggling for awhile. Thought you would want to know if you are a fan.

    Hi my dear friends,  Jazzy--Glad your appointment went well.   All went well with my BS appointment, too.  Finally, I sort of got a second opinion on my crooked foob/boob job,  My BS didn't want to say anything bad about the PS but he did seem concern and  he is referring me to another PS at the Sitemen Cancer Center in St. Louis. However, when I called for my records to be sent to the new PS, the old PS refused and told me they would not  release them unless the doctor asked for the records.  Sitemen Cancer Center nurse  told  me  that is illegal. that I should have been able to get my records myself.  Well they are getting them for me now so I won't make a fuss. I wouldn't want someone looking at my screwed up work either.. I almost feel guilty going to another PS. 

    Ducky--so glad to hear about Grayson's Upsee coming soon.  Children are so precious. Please send us some pictures!

    Camillegal--I am  not forgetting about my killer sister. . I remind her from time to time.  LOL, Well she has said she was sorry-- and then she asked for the remaining product so she could sell it to someone else.  .  That crap cost me about $50 bucks.  I gave it to her and told her I should have sued her but I know she doesn't have any money.  So we laugh together about it now.

    Teka--thanks for the hugs!

    Blondie46, I hope you are feeling better and able to breathe easier.

    Onocowarrior,  I bought a fitbit yesterday--going to try to get more exercise like walking in. Now the hardiest part comes--doing the exercises.  Thank for you ideas.

    All you hermits--have a great night!

    Hi hermits- I had a good day working on the yard and cleaned off my patio of all the dust, leaves, cobwebs and the like. I put some of the houseplants out, but a cold snap is coming Monday so I will wait to put out the rest next weekend after that is gone. The planters out front have pansies in them and look nice. 

    Our frost date in April is around the 23rd, usually the last chance for it to get down to freezing or below. It has been in the 70s, and going to the 50s on Monday and then back up to the 70s. I am ready for it to be shorts and flip flop season.

    Hope everyone else is enjoying the unfolding of spring.

    Good morning hermits- 80 degrees on the east coast, whoot whoot!

    It is going to be in the mid 70s here again today. Going to take my bike in for a tune up today and going to get back on the bike trail next weekend. I have not ridden my bike since right before diagnosis. Another step in returning to normalcy.

    Hope everyone has a nice springy day!

    Good morning hermies.

    Jazzy good for u, I'm so glad u'r getting ready and u want to get ready for riding. I'm looking for swimming.

    Great party last night but didn't stay up for the whole thing--it ended up with about 70 peeps so it expanded, mor of his friends came. I didn't know many people but they had a good time. So I was glad for Marty. He's really a great guy and u could see how everyone feels about him. Weather was great sitting outside all the time and tonite it will be in the 30's with possible snow tomorrow, so it's not over yet.

    OK I'll be back right.

    Hi ladies- biking is the last sport I am returning to after all that has gone on. I did not feel healed enough between the abdominal surgery and breast surgery in 2012 to want to even try biking until I felt better/stronger. I knew eventually my desire to return to biking would come back and so it has here in 2014. I have been swimming, doing yoga, walking and doing weights for a good year now. Biking here is really great spring, summer and fall and I have missed it, so I am grateful to feel good enough to return to that. My biking buddy going with me next Saturday.

    Cami- I went swimming at the gym last night and plan to go again later today. Water is soothing to the body and great exercise. Maybe a YMCA near you has a good pool? Glad to hear the party was fun, and you got to sit outdoors (love me some patio time).

    Teka- glad to hear spring temps are working in to your area. It is in the 70's here today, going to get a snap of cold again tomorrow.

    Dutch- sorry you are so tired. The fatigue can stay with you way longer than you expect. Feel better soon. 

    Hope everyone else has a good spring day/palm Sunday. What is everybody doing for Easter?

    Blondie- glad you some nice shore time, and a birthday party to boot. Sleeping in sounds like it was just what you needed. 

    Like Teka says, hopefully they can help you to have better quality of life with better breathing and less O2 dependency. Thinking of you tonight.

    Cold wind came in tonight, feels like winter again. Hopefully will be gone after tomorrow, and spring returns. 

    Wishing everyone a good week.

    Oh Blondie it always good to here when u really had a good time. U deserve to be pampered and have  a celebration with u'r Birthday. And damn I pray those Drs. can help u. And yes I'm being so good I'm not even liking myself tonite.

    Jazzy our weather is going bonkers tonite too, is getting colder and raining all over the place--can't just have it in one little area on the block.

    Oh I've been such a hermit this weekend!  Stayed in bed all day Saturday--even breakfast and dinner in bed.  Went to church on Sunday and came right back home and back to bed.  Not looking forward to leaving this bed to go to work tomorrow--but I guess that is a good thing or else I might become on of those hermits that you see once a month.

    Cami--isn't that why we are called hermits. Now that I got use to living alone after the 30 year marriage and divorce, I tell my three grown sons and stepdaughter--to take care of their business because now that Mama is living alone--there is no one moving back in. They will not give their house keys back so I put in an alarm system--of course they had fits until I gave them the security number but I have my ways--Hee-hee!!  My youngest son whom talks to me like he's MY daddy and worries about me the most told me I was selfish because I have a whole house to myself and all I want to do is be alone to do my things.  Well I told them they only want to visit when it is convenient to them and it's mama time now to do what I want.  I wonder if it as hard for the other hermits in defending their ME time.   Of course, we do have wonderful holiday times and my youngest son and I have dinner about once a week, my oldest son calls once a week to tell me,  "He is checking on me"---Haha! and my son, daughter-in-law and 2 grandkids in Virginia are waiting on me to visit this summer.  My daughter-in-law wants me to stay my whole summer break--no can do, but I will stay a few weeks.  Well, I am thinking about not doing Easter meal for the first time in 30 years,. I can do Boston Market and have the day to myself.   I think someone is going to be upset.  Sad

    Dwill- I think everyone around us has to get used to the fact we don't do what we used to do, and perhaps sometimes are not as social as we used to be. I am single and live alone, so I have less pressure than some who may have others that live with them.

    I had a whole weekend of time just to myself this weekend and really enjoyed it. It takes a lot of energy to get through a work week (perhaps for you too?), so having downtime on the weekends is a good thing. We are different people now.

    exactly Jazzy have alone time for me is usually spent trying to recuperate from just walking around....I am glad you had the to yourself....

    DW...the kids dont get it....my oldest calls about once a week (he lives 10 min away) to :"check on me" , my oldest daughter texts me (she lives about 1/2 away) to see how I am...my youngest daughter calls everyday and was just told she was going to the drs. with me on Wednesday, I never ask them for anything, I go by myself to chemo and the drs, unless a friend of mine can go...I don't like bothering people even my kids, unfortunately I am very independent, almost to a fault...I am right now in my room hermitting cept for grandchildren are here...I have to take George to the drs. in 20 min then I will come home and hermit some more..I am attached to oxy, hate it... is

    Thanks Cammie.....it is a new week, how long can CAmmie AND Chevy stay out of trouble!!

    Happy Monday, what is everybody up to..
