Cubbie- I'm sorry I wasn't around to hold your hand. I seemed to have been busy off sucking my own thumb. So relieved for you!
Beppy- thanks for the flowers. You always know. I had a rough night. So sweet to be thinking of me. Don't stop!
Oh but one of my wishes did come true last night. Tutti brought me a rat instead of a bird. Awwwwww, her first! Her new nickname could be Her a Royal Bloodthirstiness! Ugh! Gross! Figured you all would want to pass on the pic of my little darling.

slow, look so calm in that pic, I can not believe you have panic attacks looking the way you do there
back from my cute chiro, can not believe how much better my back is. Saw my original physical therapy guy there and had to tell him how much I am thankful to him and the team. Can hardly believe how much of an improvement and no pain pills except for a few anti inflametories at the start. I confess to reading things on face book of folks doing the shots and the surgery and really hope to not reach that point for me
So stopped for something to celebrate, of course it is food related! gonna make a celebration roast chicken. Sorry I did not get enough of the turkey stuff so will sub this!
oops, forgot to pick up some wine so it will be trip out again~
I get nervous before my MO appts yet, but try to remember to do deep breathing exercises, it helps to bring my BP down

Something so cute.....I have a tradition started with my first grandchild 31 years ago......and continued....I bought them a little cardboard calendar......with 25 doors on it.....each door has a piece of chocolate behind it.....starting Dec. 1st they open a door each day...........I did that for all 18 kids for many, many, years even sending them to college and to Chicago when they started work and moved away.7This year I stopped with the grandkids.....but continued with my great grandchildren.......I bought Lila and Bobby one even though they are only 9 and 5 months old.......their Moms eat the chocolate.........
Here is a picture I got of Bobby opening the little door, and literally ripping it off.......LOL........we all him "The Bull"................haha.

Slow, I love the dancing banana. Looks like he has pom-poms! It helped to post here while I was waiting, even if no one was around at that moment. The whole procedure was sort of unexpected, so no one knew I was going to it. My technician turned out to be an 8 year survivor herself, though, and she was wonderful. She put a priority on my scan results so the radiologist would look at it right away, which is why we got the results so quickly. She said that it took her six months after the end of her treatment to start to feel normal emotionally again.
That looks like the device they had me breathe into when I was tested for asthma. I don't think I got high, just hyperventilated.
Congrats on two years cancer free! (Or do you count from when rads ended?)Jackie, I'm glad Tutti is getting the right idea what she is supposed to be hunting. Yes, you can skip the pics of her prize kill. Some things are best left to the imagination.
Ducky, your green beans sound good - I might have to try that sometime when I'm cooking for the family. Your granddaughter is gorgeous, which only makes sense, all your family is gorgeous. I love the softball pic!

Cubbie.. Yay!! So happy you got great results :-)
Katy.. I can certainly relate to being " off sulking my own thumb "" :-) HaHa.. What a great expression !! Thank goodness for being able to a laugh!! Sorry about those enzymes.. Katy.. I'm so sick and tired of all this cancer crap :-(
Slow.. Texting buddies sound great!! Guess no one will be too keen to text me "down here " thogh :-( Maybe email me.?? I know what you mean about not wanting to KNOW!! First visit to the surgeon after mascetomy he couldn't wait to tell me my prognosis !! Ugh.. :-(
Ducky.. You little man is too cute!! I used to buy the Advent Calenders for my kids, and get them for the grandbabies now..
Chi.. My goodness .. Sort of strange how they returned the checks and everything to your address..!! I can understand how people must feel after their house has been broken into now.. I imagine someone going through my bag.. I can't even remember what I had in it.. but I know it would of been a mess.!! 😱 My daughters are always offering tidy my hand bag for me!!
Tomboy.. Thanks for sharing your stories with us.. I felt low when I first started tamaxifen.. I don't know whether it was the medication or trauma I'd been through causing it..

Hi my dear friends. I'm ok SLOW...just didn't feel like posting...but I appreciate how you always check on everyone. You are too sweet. Just tired of dealing with this stenosis. My pain doctor offered to give me a script for morphine tablets. I said absolutely not...I got enough problems, being addicted to that drug will not be one of them. So now he has me on Tylenol 3. It works, but makes me itch so I have to take Benadryl. I told him I cannot continue to take pills the rest of my life, especially for something that only gets worse...it doesn't get better. So we shall see. My MRI is next week and I will probably be seeing a neurosurgeon to get his opinion. Yes...I am that desperate for relief. He wants me to exhaust all avenues before even thinking about surgery. I cannot exercise because it makes the pain worse. Even going to the bathroom makes me hurt...I know TMI...sorry.
Katy...you have my number...my phone is always by my side...
Cubbie...I am so happy for you.
Marie...that was very funny.
Ducky...hi. Your family is beautiful and I enjoy the pictures. You were gorgeous for your grand-daughter's wedding.
You all try to have a wonderful weekend. Love you all so much!!!

Shorfi- Glad to see you! I'm so sorry about the pain. And there's no such thing as TMI here. I hope you get some resolution soon. Thanks.

the crazys hit me today, I forgot my wallet at the chiro place but fortunately remembered when I got to the parking lot and they nicely had kept it for me!
that cat with the dead mouse, I remember when I was living in Brlyn and still had my cat, he found a mouse and started to play with it. It was a Sat morning and I was still sleeping till he started making noise, by the time I realized it, the poor thing was dead, yeah he had the same sort of look on his face like this is a gift!
chicken with lemons and garlic is in the oven, wish I had my sense of smell back as it would be so nice~~

Anybody play Words with Friends? If so, my user name is shorfish. It keeps this old brain working.
Proud...chicken with lemons and garlic sounds wonderful....ummmmmmmmmmmmm. Glad you are getting relief for you back.
Katy...thanks so much

Cubbie, yay for the normal node!

Shorfi, hope the Tylenol 3’s help your back.

Jackie ......we have a thread called "Comfort Dogs"....bunch of great ladies and their fur babies.....you have to come over with us....Show off those 2 little loves..............just Search......Comfort Dogs..........all pets are welcome......

Iris- you may wish to revise your opinion of how I'm looking. That was one of the residents. Not me! BAAAHAHAHA!!! she does look pretty good. Some of them have had dogs and some are just learning to love them, Jack is a kisser, and some don't like that.
Tomboy- Exactly! They all say over and over how it has made their day and thank us profusely.What they don't know is how it makes our day. I needed an escape hatch out of my own head today. This was good.
Ducky- Jack has been on comfort dogs! I introduced him and shared (ad nauseum) many pics. It's funny how some of us keep running into each other. Great minds thinking alike?

OH Iris- silly me. You must have meant the other much younger gal with the two dogs looking up at her. She's the Poms mom.

oh well I figure you also look good as well!

Thanks. At least Jack doesn't throw me out of bed. He does push me off the hearing pad though. 😥

Good evening, crazies. I cannot keep up. Too much happening with all of you! Nice to see you back, Katy. Hmm, yum: no-knead bread with a side of roast rat. Erk.
Ducky, great pictures as always of your beautiful family.
And of you, Beppy, post surgery. How well I remember that blowy thing.
Cubby, I have not seen Race to Nowhere but have read a bit about it. If my kid were younger I would be opting him out of every test in sight. Things are so stressful at such a young age for our kids.
Queen, I did see Fledermaus at the Met a couple of years ago. Awfully enjoyable. And so fluffy!
Typing with difficulty tonight as I am well wrapped for lymphedema, like a stuffed sausage with my dominant left hand. Oy! Supposedly we will order a sleeve next week. 52% done with rads! Looking forward to a weekend Today I saw the medical oncologist (no real news), went for rads, then came back to the breast center for my Herceptin cocktail. Nuff cancer treatment for one day.
DS just got home, organizing supper for him. And me. TGIF!

Evening Crazies
It's just been 48 hours about since I last posted and you guys are flying with updates. I love our flying trapeze family.
Ok Thank you all for having my back around the 'loud' music incident. I'm still frustrated and haven't put on any music since. Know that's on me and I have to simply be me and stand for the fact that I live here. It's messed up.
On to more important matters
Katy I am sorry to here the results of the MO meeting. In my heart of hearts I know you are fine and your liver too- it's just angry from the chemicals. There is a lot that has/is still being processed. be gentle; take the break. I know you have leaned into giving up the tree for many reasons but maybe some beautiful fragrant branches. Fir and pine are so uplifting. The pic of Jack at his 'visit' is so sweet. He is your home care too. Hugs Katy
Slow Congrats on your 2 year mark. I'm not sure I ever commented on the beauty of your hair - the long locks and how it's grown in. The living with pain as you and several others speak of is so intense. I know I speak of my aches and some days/weeks of feeling fragile.... I am still in a state of it 'changing ' so I am just here and not thinking of it as 'living with pain/aches' more just this is today. Mainly. Some days it does piss me off for sure.
Tomboy - the resident 'doc' a book on breast surgery- that's something I might have done years ago and you simply saying you got one has me scratching it on my 'xmas' list ( I don't have an xmas list but seth keep bugging me- so this could be a start)
Lucy- lost purses and stolen things are very unsettling and disruptive in our automated world. I hope the situation gets smoothed soon.
Ducky- a birthday and cooking and in between a seizure? How is Stella? And lady thank you for having my back!
Seems there are many musicians/ performers and lovers/ explorers of opera here.
Rain- that principle meeting sounded intense- many of my clients placing there kids ( or seeking to place) in preschool find themselves in a whirlpool of more more more.... I can only imagine how it escalates through what we have turned the 'educational process' into. yuck , but the principle sounds grounded.
Octo I know a page or two back you shared some delay in the rads. I can only imagine that frustration. How is all of that progressing?
Cubbie- glad the node was just large and uneventful. Slow and Sula have the best gifs and meme... well ducky does a good meme too
Rose How are you?
Ok there is much more to catch up on... oh like Sula the chestnut torte... yum love that type of Italian nut cake
Edited to add Shorfi Hugs----- I am sorry your stenosis has been so troubling. Have you explored acupuncture?
But I must pause until tomorrow. been an intense few weeks something I'll share eventually.... nothing re 'news' just stuff and an incident at the MO appointment before thanksgiving. Just brings me to the 'this is why western medicine SUCKS' place....... I just need to digest more before I spout.
I love you all!
