sas and Shell - reporting in. Late yesterday afternoon at dr's purple extended above joint about 1", toe mostly numb but could feel firm pressure. Have been doing prescriibed cool, warm soaks and keeping foot elevated. Thursday is my day to fix lunch at the Senior Center. Had an extra helper today so I could just sit back and supervise. Sat all morning on a stool with foot perched on the corneer of a table about 6" above hips. Keeping foot up since I got home but not quite as high.
The area above the joint is more of a red than purple now and the toe is much more sensitive to touch. The foot is still swollen but the skin is not streched as tight. I see the podiatrist at 1:15 pm tomorrow. we wwill be discussing a plan for evaluation all the systems involved.

Heard from GrannyK and she is very relieved it's over...we agreed it was worse than her digestive surgery...but she is doing the pain pills and said she was going to sleep.
So, there is discussion that she will wear a mask when she is ready to go out dancing...
This may work....a grass mask??http://www.greenmuze.com/green-your/fashion/2595-living-plant-face-mask-.html

So is there an "Addicted to BC.ORG" thread going! Need to sign me up for that 12-step program and pronto!
Shells.. your furbabies are too cute! Great puppy dog eyes! I've always had a soft spot for black cats.
Chabba... hang in there!

How about "You know you're addicted to BC.ORG when..."

Hope you are relieved it's over and doing okay.
Everyone is thinking about you, but badly misbehaving while you were away.
If anyone picks on you (Chevy), LMK and I'll bust their chops (except Veggy, she's an angel)

I am a member of that "addicted club" and you can tell by my post count. I was diangosed in January and had a few posts prior to that from my 6 month watch and wait period. But, since diagnosis, I am here an awful lot I guess..lol
But, it is a lifeline. Other peeps who get it are priceless! This is a life-changing time for sure and this shit is not fun without someone else who can commiserate! My boob is zinging me around the lumpectomy area and I was told it is the nerves regenerating. It hurts! Without this site, I would not know that this is the reason I am having pain several weeks post surgery! I wouldn't know what to expect when I begin rads. I would not know that I am not crazy!
I love BCO. I love you guys. You make me laugh and sometimes make me cry but you are here and that is so comforting! xoxo

Morning gals!Shells! WHAT are there 2 or 3 of? "If you count Cammigirl"... What did you just say...? My mind is in a fog....2nd.... If you type anything into Google Images, you will come up with zillions of stuff... Well, I mean be careful, or you might get something you didn't count on, Ha!Blondie... We had an intelligent conversation? We did? How did we do that? You must be dreaming. Yes Sassy, she DID say that. She must be reading 50 shades of Gray or whatever. Well I mean as far as being intelligent, not so much.Yes Shells, we are calling Dr. Drew for our addictions.... Ha! You say Blondie is behaved? I mean how? I saw her out back of the shed smoking.... mind you!April.... Pretty picture! Sort of! I like the colors.... And I love cats..Cammi, did Rachel think she posted something offensive? Now THAT'S a stretch. Or a boundary? What is a boundary? We haven't come across one yet, but there is always a first time...And what is this action, reaction, noaction stuff? I know exactly what you are talking about! Ha! No, really I do...And it's true!Is "icky" an actual word? by the way.Chabba... seriously now.... I'm so glad you are seeing a little improvement...! Let us know what your podiatrist says... I'm so sorry you hurt!Joan... so glad Granny is out from under, and hanging in there... Are you kidding about a mask?2nd time.... Yes, we have an addiction, or an affliction... just remember we also have a guy on here.... "Charles" is our lawyerly friend, and pops in sometimes... so we have to include him too...Morning again April! GLAD you come back here! And yes, it's fun to find something to laugh about when we are not crying....
I just don't want to know when you guys are hurting.... makes me feel like I should behave, and not be, well, whatever I am.
Oh I remember the "zingers".... no, you are not crazy... they hurt, don't they? They will stop... maybe like in 12 years or so... No, just kidding. I forgot about those, until you mentioned it. I used to put heat on that breast, and sort of massage it a little. And cuss. And no you are NOT crazy.... We are!Okay kids... go out and play... love you all! xoxoxo0 -

Yes, 2nd time.... Charles would feel sad if we did not remember him in our writings.... although he is EASY to forget, because he is never ON here.
Come on Charles.... You MUST have SOME story for us...Oh Ducky, damnit! You lost your mo-jo? What is wrong with you? Maybe you had too much going on all at once. I WONdered what happened to you! You had better take it easy, so you can re-charge.... I mean after tomorrow.... You would wear ME out.
Lymphgirl.... that is beautiful....What thread are we on anyway? We are being way too nice...Ha, ha!
But you all know how much I care about ALL of you..... xooxoxo Now go play. xoxoxo

Lympgirl, Perfect and beautiful words words to live by
Cami, Chevy,Shell, Granny, Ducky, Blondie, April, Anyone I missed-- Cami, you used the word crossroads. That was masterful. When someone presents here(BCO) with a problem AND I have a strong knowledge of it, it sets the adrenaline flowing. Trying to present info to convince someone to take action, then waiting to see what they do, then saying to myself "Good there safe now" or the opposite "OH no they are still in danger". MY mind and body get totally involved to my detriment. I've been smoking like a fiend worrying about Chabba and my nerve endings are plum tuckered out. CHABBA this isn't meant to worry you, Just trying to explain why you all see me change. You can see it in the writting--Very proper, technical, but try to explain it in lay language. That's one of the reasons I've come here. "Your Collective Sense of Humor, camraderie, irreverence, goofiness." It keeps me from being too intense. Lordy I loved nursing, still do. Can you imagine my poor docs when I believed my patients assigned to me needed something. But, conversely, they had unbelievable respect. Collectively they preferred me over the nurse that wouldn't advocate.

April and 2x, Addiction to BCO. Last May I had a computer virus. Within hours I found I was obsessing about not getting "ON". Then the physical symptoms started. I realized I was going through withdrawal as surely as if it was a drug or alcohol. One might say it was a psychological dependence. Whatever, it was scary. I intentionally didn't get a new computer for weeks longer then I could have, until I felt the depedence was under control.

Blondie, Ginger for nausea,Won't do any long stories. Decades to centuries old. Take a teaspoon in a cup of water and make a tea. Taste is something you have to get used too. AMAZING and FAST resposne. Can't be used if on Coumadin/Warfarin. Either straight from a spice bottle or fresh grated, works either way Good luck. sassy

OK I'm here and trying to remember who said what--so forgive me if I screw up.
AdDiCtEd mE?ell of course I am, but I don't care--I will stay this way, it makes me happy to talk to so many of u.
Chabba let us know as soon as u know something.
Joan glad u heard from Granny, and right is she really going to wear a mask? It's fine granny if that's what u want. (quiet Chevy)
April I think a Lymphectomy (so) hurts more that afull lets get them both off operation. Cuz u sill have nerves and things to hurt, When both come off it's supriseingly non hurting--my sister and I both agreed--u didn't need any pain pills nothing so I can imagine u hurting for a while.
Ducky I knew u'd be very tired and u'r still going. Just relax some for u'rself.
Sas U'r such a wonderful addition here--so so caring.
And April I agree with u about the lifeline, it's talking to people who understand and we all start really caring about one another, even thos we have never met.
See I wasn;t sarcastic at all and Chevy was pretty good too, not as good as me of course but she;s OLDER and can't help herself, oops what that sarcastic? No I don't think so.
Everu=yone have a great day--It's Friday for those who work and it's Friday for those who don't--just different.

Shell I first guessed Kernicterus, but Hydroxfetalis? But you said infant versus neonate, Well I'll wait before I guess again
Cami-Hugs, also having to share a house computer -awful--It's like "don't you KNOW I need to get ON", oops my addiction is showing again.
Lymphgirl The Brooms, also addicted to Harry Potter. Quidditch anyone?

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out shouting "holy crap....what a ride" SAS

Lymphgirl, Your post about the kind words is so true. I met a former heroin addict who decided to get clean after a little boy put a coin in his cup (begging downtown) and then said, "and how are you?" He said he felt acknowledged as a human being for the first time in ages.

Oh Wren, tears swelling on that one.
Lymphgirl, DH would reserve the books months in advance, then wake me up --hand it to me, then he'd provide food and liquids till I was done, I'd only break for the "Water closet". The last two books had an awfully sore bottom cuz the books were soooo long LOL.

Hi ShaneOak,
This is my first time posting and I just loved your post! STFU has been on my brain lately. Being newly diagnosed I am still feeling my way through this journey. I am terrified but have excellent support. 5 chemo treatments complete, one more to go. My double mastectomy is scheduled for the middle of June. That's all anyone wanted to tell me that I am so lucky to get perky new boobs. I feel like you do I would rather keep my real ones if they weren't trying to kill me. I found my lump while trying to pump at work. Breast feeding I first thought the lump was a milk duct. Being a first time mom it was really hard to discern if it was a milk duct or a lump, really glad I went in to have it checked. Kick my self now wish I didn't wait 2 months thinking it was a milk duct. Since I have to start radiation my plastic surgeon thinks it is best that I have delayed reconstruction, which threw me for a loop. Talking with others I thought, well no breasts but at least they will be starting the process to reconstruct something. But now I have to wrap my mind around not having anything for 4 months. Also I worry what my skin will be like after radiation? Will they even have anything to work with. The plastic surgeon said the Lat Flap procedure is my best option. Thought I could argue that I had enough abdominal tissue to do the transflap procedure. Hey then I could have a tummy tuck and new perky boobs. But no they will have to take muscle and skin from my back to move to the front of me to have perky boobs. This is a long journey I just hope I caught it early enough. I admire everyone's strength and courage traveling down their journey. Keeping everyone in my prayers. Lets kick this cancers ass!!!!
Faith, Love, Hope,
