    Markat hahahaha---u'r alot younger that's why u think that way. But when u'r older and have had surgeries before and of course add in the babies and yrs ago whenever u went for a checkup they always felt u'r breasts--I don't know if that was part of it then or they just wanted to--so after a while it got to be nothing to me, that's why it doesn't bother me, my cousin, sister it doesn't bother any of us anymore.

    I talked to my girlfriend today and now the plan is tomorrow lunch.

    Skittle do u notice too sll Drs. hands are ice cold, well usually it feels good but they are really cold.

    Whaevah almost done??? Wonderful

    Oops I totally forgot skittle! I'm going to be an aide. I don't start until the first week of Dec. That's so weird about the Prius! I'd love it if DH could get by with a smartcar or whatever they are called, but he does drive the girls around in his car sometimes. It's 12yo and on it's last leg (tire?). I have a mom van we use mostly.



    I was a couple years behind on my gyn visit. Sometimes I wonder if she would have caught the lump before me but I try not to think about that. It seemed to grow really fast though.

    You chatty hermits!  I have SO much to say (write) and NO time to do it.  Probably that's lucky for you!  Maybe I'll be back later.

    Please continue your hilarious inspirations!  I'm day three from Chemo #2 and I feel really loopy...and I have two, count 'em two psych appointments today ("regular" and "hypno").  Just worried about the driving part...

    God bless Emend and Miralax.  But I really wanted to share the show-and-tell stories (flashing to our docs).  I can so relate and I have a couple of funny ones (well, to me anyway).

    Ciao for now, hermitites (almost passes for hematite, for you rockhounds in here).

    Cami - hope your lunch is great.

    Markat ... I hear you, had just rebuilt myself into a happy life and crap BC. Why I hate when stupid people say things like "cancer is a gift... or we should grow from our challenges".  I was happy with the life I had I just want it back and my healthy body too!

     I have mostly women around me too for dr.s which I like ... think they are more compassionate.

    My couple of funny stories lately.   When I went to see my MO (he is male) last time he had a young male med student with him.  He had seen my US reports and heard what I had told the nurse about bleeding problems etc.  So he walks in the room and says "so let's talk about your periods".  I thought the poor young (asian) boy was going to pass out .. guessing this wasn't a conversation starter in his home.  lol   Guess he better get used to stuff if he is going to be a dr.

    When I went to get pelvic xray my dr wanted a couple of weeks ago the girl tech positions me and then puts this little tiny thyroid guard over my neck.  Seriously.  I couldn't help but giggle.  Really you think one tiny xray or two is going to be what kills my thyroid?  She looked at me weird ... so I kind of had to explain I had radiation therapy 6 months ago and they don't cover it and that my boob is what is nuked to the max.  So she puts the big lead drape over my whole chest.... young and new and I think I confused her.

    Ommego and whaevah  ... wishing you done and healthier soon.

    I am off to see my RMT in a few minutes and will be in a much better frame of mind to post when I get back. Had a little episode of misplaced anger yesterday, Embarassed, dishwasher broke , poor repairman, made me wait Yell Timing is everything, markat can you lend me $5 ? I hear you are rollin' in it these days.

    Thanks for all the good wishes my happy hermit heroes! Boogied eyed but feeling pretty good ...1 more to go...thank the sweet baby cheeses.

    Be back later to chat when I get the debbil massaged out of meInnocent

    Jane--good ones. Hahaha

    Whaevah--$5.00---now all these people are going to be coming out of the woodwork Markat for u'r money LOL

    Oh I had such a good time with my gf--we've known each other since we were 15 and we haven't changed the way we act. I really hadn't seen her in a while but she's moved back aroundhere and it was exactly like where we just left off. being silly and laughing. She just lost her boyfriend of 12 years so I felt bad for her and she's easy to make laugh so she said I could always make her laugh and she seemed so good when she left. I'm glad. I'm really not funny just silly. Anyway it was great. And I fell only once and she got all upset which made me laugh harder--I'm fine. So now I'm exhausted but I drank coffe so I hope I don't fall asleep early.

    Well I'm back from all my grown up stuff. Drug test, background check and FBI check finished. So I guess I'm officially in the system now with my own accounts and everything. No longer a real hermit LOL! I could have beat Camille on That one. I just needed a secluded cabin, some flannel and bushy beard.



    Omeggo- hope your appts went well and you're feeling good.



    Camille - was lunch today?



    Jane- that's funny about the thyroid guard.



    Whaevah- lol! So glad you're almost done! The repair man made it out of your house right? What's RMT? Sounds dirty.



    My shoulder is fine. It's just extremely painful for no reason apparently. Joy.

    Cami - so happy you were able to go and have a good lunch.

    Hope your RMT isn't dirty.  My DD#2 is studying to be one.

    Markat why do most of us have something really wrong with us and we're told ---can't find anything????

    So now u'r official--did they fingerprint u?  be careful where u leave u'r fingerprints--they can even get them off bodies now. Hey just wear gloves.

    This better not mean u'r leaving us--OK during work hrs, but other than that no excuses. Just a couple of weeks!!!!!!

    Oops Camille must have posted while I was typing on my phone. I'm so glad you had fun! Ugh about the fall!



    You are right about that! I really don't want to see an ortho surgeon. I'm sure it has something to do with my neck.

  • whaevah
    whaevah Member Posts: 282

    Loves it here LOL

    Camille, so glad you had a laugh with your gf! Nothing like a good laugh in my books, makes my day!

    markat...another good laugh, as always YOU make my day! My RMT is female, not my type Wink poor repairman, imagine a ghost with white hair (little pepper starting to show) in a rage Embarassed I bet he has been medicated ever since...my bad. And please don't grow up too fast.

    bgirl...yay! DD#2 is a most needed part of healing IMHO, my RMT is also certified with lymphedema massage and I think that is fantastic. What I also love about seeing her, is that I see other breasties coming and going, all stages of treatment,  we connect with a knowing smile. Very cool.

    Omeggo..I know that loopy feeling, wait I am that loopy. I have found chemo messes with my head, not that there is a lot to mess with but those couple of brain cells, the hanger on'ers that survived  my youth really feel off with each infusion. Infusion, geez, sound like a floral scented tea.. how deceptive! HATE Decadron.

    Skittle...put your top back on Tongue Out

    Speaking of FBI and background checks, I saw an e card;

    "I've been hiding from exercise. I'm in the Fitness Protection Program."

    kltb...where are the puppies, you promised us puppies Cry

    Hi  *waving* to you funny hermits!  I wanted to stop by and see what everyone is up to.  I missed out on my good usual sleep last night, so I am very tired and turning in early tonight.  I am SSSOOOOOO glad that tomorrow is Friday and that next week is just a 3 day work week!  Hooray for short work weeks!

  • camillegal

    OK I've been up, some diarhea (not again, so soon) well maybe I caught it in time I gobbled some pills right away. And I'm not running shopping for anyone.  The last few years I've don it on line with good results so I will continue my road to not shop among people.

    And yes our little Markat is growing up. She has her wn accounts and will be among people using her manners (I hope) and all we've taught her well, and she's taught us a load of things. Isn't it exciting markat.

    Oh I forgot to tell u another reason aI don't like to go out. when I was trying to put my jacket on I struggle a bit and my pants fell down. And I acted like nothing happened. And in my depends I stood for a second then pulled my pants up. Si u see it's hard to take me snywhere.

    Cami - ha ha ... hope you had the "pretty" ones they try and convince you look like real underwear.

    Bruises fading to yellow and green today.  Apt to go back and see gyn on 26th about surgery.  Get MRI results on 27th.  And on and on it goes.

    Jane the neverending story of Drs.--Im sick of them. I'm happy u'r healing. U still have to be hurting tho.

    And I did have my old lady depends on--they're cheaper LOL

    Just watching the news and heard the craziest thing.  It was a story about a little boy who decided to give his Justin Beiber tickets to a six year old little girl who had cancer through a charity here in Ontario.  In the news piece they were telling the little girl's story.  Apparently she had breast cancer and a mastectomy at age 3!!!  What the heck is going on in our world?????

  • markat
    markat Member Posts: 502

    Omg Jane thats crazy. How would you even find bc in a 3 yo?



    Camille, that happens to me every once in awhile. My thighs are bigger than my waist so if I don't wear a belt they fall down.



    We refi'ed today and I had to buy a new phone. Busy day!

  • camillegal
    camillegal Member Posts: 15,711

    Jane a 3 yr old girl---WTF--that horrible. How could that be. Wow

  • bgirl
    bgirl Member Posts: 435

    Cami - If it wasn't on the CBC - the national broadcaster, I would have thought somebody was BSing.  The charity that arranged the tickets actually runs a summer camp for children with cancer ... very reputable.  I went back online and read the story again ... thought I must of misheard, but no.  Incredibly baffling.

    Sad, sad.  Can't imagine.  How can parents begin to wrap their minds around it all?

    Markat--hope you enjoy your new job.

    camille--hmm. suspenders?

    bgirl--best wishes for appts.  Mine is the 21st.  Don't wanna go.

    Teka--can't picture a single hermit out and about with "holiday" craziness.  Best time in the world to hunker down and pull the covers in tighter. 

    whaevah--undefinedHave a good weekend.

    Teka I don't do crazyness---I decided a while ago--I'm done with that--So I shall aboid all that. LOL

    Skittle love that cartoon--u are so right.

    Wow. 3 years old...bc...MX. What a bummer!  That is heart breaking.

    My new hairdresser's nephew was born with a malignant mass on his back.  He had to have it removed and go through chemo. Not breast cancer, but cancer none the less.  He just turned 1 year old.  2 Fridays ago the family received the news of clean and clear scans.  What a terrible first year for him and his family! Yah for clean scan!

    It is crazy when these little ones get this horrible monster so young.  Something is wrong with our world today.  Contaminated water and food supplies.  All of the man-made intervention/interruption to natural things.  Oh, this is a big soap box for me.  I could climb up there and rant, rave and preach all day.  But, I will spare you.

    Happy Saturday to all my hermit friends!

  • markat

    Fl I agree. Something is definitely wrong with our food. I really wish we could have a safe food supply that wasn't contaminated with chemicals.



  • camillegal
    camillegal Member Posts: 15,711

    FL I think we all agree, something amiss in all that we consume--even bottled water--who know where it comes from--it's clear so it looks fine--We can't drink our water in our home it's awful. Years and years ago my cousin would say the big plan to wipe us out will be our water, so now add all the pesticides in fruit and veggies and steroids in our meat and fowl and even fish (it goes back to water) so we don't have a chance.

    My oldest DD is on her way here and my SIL and his frind are taking up carpeting in the kitchen and putting some new stuff in---I don't like all this confusion neither does my Katie-Kat. She's hiding somewhere. And our Dogie isn't to thrilled either.

    Skittle..lol! brilliant... loves it Tongue Out

    Raining cats and dogs here. miserable grey day, perfect for the cave! Overdid it at exercise yesterday, DH grounded me. A weird thing for me during chemo; food  and exercise, seems I cannot do both within a 3 hr period. My BP drops rapidly, no gas in the tank for digestion. The little meal idea works ...sometimes. Sometimes the Cheezie meal is boss.

    Imagine, me listening to DH. Must be the end of the world.

    Can't go there on the kids with cancer. Went there last year.

    markat, looking forward to SNL tonight, hope it's funny...oh, and I am having a glass of vino tonight, in honor of my almost done chemo stage...my hand is a little cramped, SE of Taxol, perfect grip for a wine glass!

    camillegal, looks like it's you and me babe, hiding out in our rooms, let the workers work, my dishwasher arrives tomorrow, no more misplaced anger Embarassed

    happy weekend hilarious hermitsKiss

    Yeah I'm here--My oldest DD cam over for a couple of hrs. and took my grandson home with her for the night. I already miss him. silly me---he'll be home all next week from school, but I really don't get tired of him cuz when he's with me I've always told him to act like a 30 yr old. He has said he really doesn't know hiw a 30 yr.. old acts cuz he's onky 8 and I told him don't annoy e that's all---so he acts so good that's why I can be with him so much. LOL

    So the kids might just go out tonite???? So I'll be alone but I have our Dog now so I'm allright--my cat is no help--what can she do meow someone to scare them. I'm crackin' myself up. I get goofy when I'm tired. As u know.

    So I'll be around

    Camille that stinks about the ruckus. Hopefully it will be over soon.



    whaevah I'm looking forward to our show. I don't really know who the guy is hosting? At least it isn't Anne Hathaway. Glad you're feeling like drinking and that poor repairman can be let out of your basement.



    I've been way too busy this week. Went to Abby's soccer banquet today. I'm trying to figure out this new phone also. It has Swype which is really cool but difficult to figure out. You scribble over the touchscreen to letters to type. Seems like it's taking me way longer.



    Where's KLTB? I hope rads are okay and the puppies and kids are good.

    So quiet here this weekend!

    I missed SNL. I fell asleep. It was the best sleep I've had in a long time. Maybe I need to continue this running around like a crazy person...

    We are celebrating my side of the family's Thanksgiving today. Thanksgiving day will still be crazy because we will go to DH's mom's house then my mom's house that night.

    Hope everyone is doing good.
