    Great news, Iris, Mommy, and Rgoosen!  

    Love the photo booth pictures, Ducky.  Looks like it was a good time!

    I hardly take my shoes off, either.  The worst one was when I kicked a box of books (not on purpose).  I actually broke my poor toe.  Fortunately it didn't take too long to heal up.  

    I called my oncologist's office today with a question about the tiny spider veins I seem to be developing around my scar.  I've gotten a new one recently, plus I have a tiny little flat red dot under my scar, like someone touched me with a red pen. I've heard spider veins are a side effect of radiation, but I finished radiation 2 years ago, I don't know if you can still get more this far out?  The nurse called back and said that it's hard to say without seeing it, so I'll have to go in for an appointment on Thursday.

    Cubbie, hoping it is nothing worry some. Saw my neighbor, the cop, he has what i think of as wierd hours but at the start of this crazyness, he gavenmem his cell and said to call if i needed help. I needed help tightning the screws on my rollator. Its the small things that drive me nuts! My rollator now is tightened up!

    I am determined to make it to the gym this week, wish me luck for tomorrow

    Back in Crazy Town this week. My husband needs a prostate biopsy after having an MRI last week. We’re just waiting for the doc to schedule it.

    I know it’s very different than BC, but worrisome nonetheless.

    Pennsy, I hope the biopsy goes well. I understand prostate cancer is very curable, but all cancer is scary, as we all know.

    Iris, it's good to see you are still going to the gym.

    Lucy, that sounds like more fun than my day at work! I have some spider veins on my legs as well, and particularly my ankles. It's a hereditary thing, my family tends to get them. Anything that happens near my mastectomy site makes me nervous though, especially new stuff.

    cubbie, hope all turns out to be fine with the spider veins...

    Iris, Yay, Yay, Yay, for the good news and yay for having a neighbor to help!

    Lucy, shopping and tea with a friend sounds wonderful...

    I've been gone for a few days, thanks to a whirlwind trip to SoCal for my Granddaughter's 10th birthday party! We had a blast....

    Cubbie, my hereditary spider veins predate my bc dx, but as I've gotten older (perhaps due to the estrogen-deprivation), they're popping up even on my face. And my varicose veins along the inner side of my L knee have gotten more prominent. Welcome to the march of time...

    I'm getting cherry angiomas on my stomach, too. Just a couple so far, but I've heard that is another aging thing.

    Hubby and I saw a young coyote that went past us while we were helping out a friend at his family property last weekend. It didn’t even pay us any attention as it went past the three of us and right up the hill to some woods that was nearby. Hubby thought it was a wolf at first and I said it was way too skinny to be one. Told him it looked more like a young coyote. When we got home that night and I looked up images of young coyotes and sure enough it was!

    Coyotes used to be an animal I thought of as only being out west, but they are moving into more urban areas all the time. I haven't seen one in town yet, but know some people who had one on their farm, and they are not that far out in the country. I would not be surprised if I saw one in my backyard, honestly. They are getting bolder and bolder.

    One was spotted in another part of my neighborhood a couple of weeks ago. Thought that is something I would never hear of happening in a city

    There's a pack of coyotes living behind the firehouse about 5 bl. away. Last month as I came home late at night I saw one trotting down my alley. They haven't done any harm--in fact, our rat population is down.

    Not surprised about the coyotes, Sandy. I live in a small but definite town (~9,500 people) and coyotes live in the ravine behind my house.

    wow, have not seen coyotes around my little area and sort of hope i do not. We are just getting more deer which cause accidents and i am sure eat the shrubs. Course, we do have more than our share of bunnies and squirrels. Well having lunch with gym ladies today and then manicure. Busy day!

    Thank you Cubbie and Lucy. Biopsy is not until April 30, so it must not be urgent.

    Great news, Iris and M0mmy - was too freaked out the other day and forgot to mention it!!
