Jazzy and Mags, thanks for the coffee ideas ... I really, really enjoy trying new coffees.
Hi Blondie and Ducky, I guess I am a late addition to the Keurig family. My Mini seems pretty loud.
I hope everyone is sleeping peacefully. I usually am by now ... every once in awhile, like tonight, my mind swirls.

Hi hermits- the radiologist says everything looks good! There is some suggestion it may be time to do an MRI again, but to be discussed with the BS on friday with my follow up with her.
It was not a fun day with the machine though. I do a total of six images that include a) a 3D tomasynthesis b) side images and c) magnification images. But the machine was acting up today, so I bet I got more like a total of 20 compressions before we were all done, including some with a second round the radiologist wanted. The girls got put through the ringer today. OUCH.
Thanks for being here with me today. I am home for awhile and will venture out for groceries and mail later today as part of my settling in.

All the best for our Jazzy. If it takes fifty shots to get it that's no problem, right?

Mags- that is me for sure! You are right though, the more info they have, the better they can help you so I never worry about the extras. Just not much fun.
We will go through yours with you when the time comes too.

Hey Jazz........your dx at the bottom of your post is better then mine.....you can check what I mean, and those freaks have never suggested a MRI........pisses me off cause they sent me a letter telling me my breasts were extremely dense...........will certainly ask the MO the next time I go...............glad you mentioned it.
Oh also sorry for your squashing session..........hugs

Jazzy, the machine was acting up ... ugggggg! Great that you got the radiologist's report right away and a good one.

Mags- follow ups are more than mammos, but you probably are not far enough down the pike to know all that. You will likely have your follow ups only with the MO. Because I still have both breasts, I do a 6 month mammo, 6 month with the BS and 6 month later with the MO. Everyone's follow process is different, but whatever yours is, we will be here with you.....
If there is anything to be said for the BMX, it is not having to do the mammos anymore.
I hope you are doing okay post chemo day too?

Time for some photos. A sunset for you over the pond in RI.

This swan was swimming around the lake the first night we were there.

Mother and baby ducklings on the pond. We spotted them on the shore near the dock one morning and then they were on their way quickly (there was a woodchuck around and my guess, they were at risk....)

Sachem Head in CT.

Jazzy, what lovely photos! You do have a gift of getting good shots. Love the swan best I think.
I know, I'll have my own follow ups but it was just the thought of trying to squeeze my little booblets in between those plates sent my imagination soaring. You can excuse that perhaps? I hope so. (I think my BS misunderstood my resolve to be flat because she left flaps hanging – in case I wanted reconstruction later, maybe.)
New concept: cancer in the trunk. What else?

And finally for today, a white heron spotted in the marshes at Sachem's Head.

More health news, got my held mail today and blood work from recent physical pretty good. My AIC up slightly to 6.0 but not in diabetic zone. I need to pay more attention to the carbs and get that down again. I am pleased with the good results today I am hearing. But have more work to do.
My next challenge is to loose weight (sigh....)
Blondie- wondering if a female kitten would do better? Sometimes they are jealous, some times they mother them, hard to know.

Hi everyone----
Jazzy glad everythings looks good and it's done for today and BTW u take absolutely gorgeous photos like a professional really. U could enlarge and frame some really.
I have no boobs either but this month I'm dr. free, usually not so it's good for me. That means I'm in a good place nothing has changed Whoot Whoot.
My SIL in in ER again, they'll be home soon now--2nd time in 5 weeks--this time they found a bakers cyst, when my DD told me I said Oh I know what that is and explained it and she repeated to my SIL wow she knows all this stuff. Yeah right someone on one of my thread just told us about it. I learn ezsxverthing from u guys who seem to get everything. But of course I can't remember who cuz we only talked about it once--

Teka- I love that cat photo!
Cami- I am sorry about your SIL being in the ER. I am not sure what a baker's cyst, is but will google it and learn more.
Thank you for the compliments. I used to do a lot more with my photography years ago, won some awards for photos too. I am often so pleased when I find something really nice in a series I shoot!

Cami, I have a baker's cyst too. I used to get those injections that plump up the cartilage until I developed the cyst behind my worse knee and realized that the injections were giving me enough motion back that I overworked it, causing me the cyst so I stopped getting the injections. Now my only option if I want to get mobile again would be a knee replacement in both knees, but I've had too much surgery already so just resisting that solution.
I'm having a SE that I had last chemo but didn't really connect to it until now. It could be the steroids, the nurse said when I went in for shot today. My bladder muscles aren't working. I have no sense of pressure but I stand up and leak. I cough and leak. I sneeze and leak. And not just drops. Running down the leg leaking. It only lasted a couple days, so I've gone to heavy duty pads. Just annoying.
Blondie, I agree, a kitten is best, and I'd do a female because I've had a male and though he was a great cat, he did occasionally "mark". Of course, my Schnoodle, Rose, still "marks" and she has no excuse (although her dad says it's because she's confused because Mommy smells funny and has no hair). But it's gotten bad the past few weeks, so dad may be right.

Onco- I hope the PT is helping your achilles. Are you seeing progress? Feeling better?
Baby robins so cute. Can you get any pics of them or too far away to snap a good photo?
Mags- I hope you are doing okay so far post chemo #2.
