Octo, I am frustrated for you!!! Grrr... I hate incompetence. I am still feeling really lousy. I wonder if it is the exemestane. I saw the NP at the ENT office. He had a hearing test done, checked my ears thoroughly and had me show him my balance issues. He said my ear drum looks really normal, my hearing is perfect and the only thing he could find was my ear drums were very dry with barely any wax. He gave me a rx for ear drops to use for 3 days, has me using sudafed for a week and Afrin for 4 days to see if my Eustachian tubes are giving me problems. He also sent off a referral for an MRI. If all comes back normal then he wants to send me to vestibular PT. He said is SOUNDS like it might be vestibular problems. To eliminate the meds I am calling MO to inform him I am taking a break from exemestane. I can barely walk without walking into walls, tripping up stairs etc.

Molly, I hope you start to feel better soon! I wouldn't be surprised if it does turn out to be the exemestane: seems like docs just don't want to admit the serious QOL issues with AIs....
Well, payroll finally got back to me after hubby called HR, said they had fixed the problem way back when, blamed the insurance company, then insurance company says it is fixed, but I pointed out that my birthdate is still wrong on portal when we go in. Insurance company then says it fixed it a second time, but still not right in portal. However, this am it appears to be correct. Yay! We will see what happens when knee doc resubmits paperwork...sigh.
It is hot outside and I am having a sort of lazy day...

octowell it all sounds good, sure hope all is well
Well today ,was a chemo day. I have been going to a new as in less than a yearbranch of sloan kettering, like it but they are always running behind. Nurse today said thanks for your patience. Turns out they are running 400% over the estimates of numbers of patients. They are trying to staff up quickly but it sure shows the need in my area. I have spoken to many folks who transfered from nyc and the north jersey location after this opened up.
Good news is she is scheduling a scan in next couple weeks to see how this med is doing.
You,know i will be nervous that day

Hope you’ll be wearing the pants with the big pockets, Iris!
Molly, sounds like it could be a form of Meniere’s, but PT, hydration and a low-sodium diet can help.

(((Iris)))) I hope you do get a chance to do something nice for yourself like hitting the gym!
I can relate to the issue of too many appointments, and I think that PTSD must be rearing its ugly head for me...I am feeling increasingly anxious and little things set me off. Yesterday I got a letter from ortho doc with a list of all the appointments and tests needed before the knee replacement, and dates/schedule for everything....I feel like my reaction should have been 'oh good: we are underway' but instead I couldn't get to sleep, worrying that the pre-op tests might turn up some OTHER problem...Plus I have been having back spasms off and on, plus my knee pain, and am not feeling very chipper. I really need to get this knee replacement done as QOL is not good when I can't walk and am in pain...I feel like maybe I waited too long, but that damned bc got in the way....

Beside myself with worry. Gordy hasn't been home since early Friday evening. Stayed up till almost 5 am. Last I heard from him was a FB post and a text late this afternoon saying he was hanging out in Oak Park. But here it is past 4:30am and his bed still hasn't been slept in, he's not texting me back and his phone goes straight to voicemail. His battery is probably dead, so I can't get in touch with him. I don't have names or contacts for his friends from improv, so I have no idea whom to call or whose FB or Twitter feeds to check in case they've tagged him. His last Tweet was five days ago. I know he's a grown man, but he lives with us and he'll always be my baby. No idea what to do, and neither does Bob.

((((Sandy)))) I will pray for Gordy right now. Hugs. My 32 year old baby lives with me. I would be the same way.

Still no sign--his phone is surely dead by now. But no suspicious activity on his debit cards...but if he's not even spending money I'm even more worried.

When I was his age, I'd already been married 12 years and living 800 miles from my folks. I didn't phone home every day, but my Mom knew how to reach me (even in the pre-cellphone days, via landline & answering machine). It's the inability to reach him that drove me nuts. We bought him his first cell when he was 15 and stayed out all night at a party that turned out to be in Naperbrook, 50 miles away--when he called to ask us to pick him up at Union Station because all he had left was change for the phone call (not even CTA fare). I was mad as hell at him, then dragged him to Best Buy. "Let me get this straight," he said. "I broke the rules and you're punishing me by buying me a phone? Cool!"

Sandy: phew. Just the text is a relief, I'm sure.

Sandy, so happy to hear you heard from Gordy. I have my adult kids trained to text me. We never stop worrying. Duckyb, you have the most beautiful babies in your family! The dizziness is worse. It's driving me crazy but I have to live my life so I just don't stop. I am afraid of falling though. Hugs everyone. Hi Jan! Lucy, how's DGS? Here is some food porn. I am learning to bake from scratch.
top one is banana walnut cake. The other one is vanilla poppy seed cake with vanilla ganache. 0 -
Not a banana fan, Molly, but oh, that vanilla cake! Pure food porn. Good on ya!
Gordy got home about 10:30 tonight—carrying his messenger bag--and admitted he'd spent the weekend with…his new girlfriend! (High fives all around—halle-freakin’-lu-ya). They’ve been dating a few weeks, but he hadn't told us because he didn’t want to jinx it. And he didn’t want me to start dreaming of weddings and grandkids. She lives in the neighborhood—but they visited Oak Park because they both love Prairie architecture and Hemingway (visited both the Frank Lloyd Wright and Hemingway museums).
Only downside is that she’s from Houston and understandably worried sick about her relatives—some of whom she can’t reach.
