I'm too paranoid. I live in the city and I'm from New England… Us folks from NE think if someone is being nice to us they must want something.
Seriously many people forget how open the Internet is. Just look at what some folks post on FB!Ritajean sorry to hear about your MIL. Yes good long life but you can never be ready.

Rita...I am so sorry for Dave's loss and for yours as well, as you help him through this period of his life.
Mourn not with broken hearts Mourn not with broken hearts, when friends and dear ones go,
For you the night of loneliness, for them the morning glow;For you the daily burden of the years that are to be
for them? a new adventure in a world you cannot see.For sorrow has it's season. Nothing lasts, not even grief.
Every winter has it's ending, and then the greening leaf.One day, you will awake and find that time has eased the pain.
That is how God's mercy works. Spring will come again.AnonymousHugs, Jackie0 -
Rita - So sorry about Dave's mom...please let him know I send my deepest sympathy...

Mahomet...I don't think you look like a guy! I think youre hair is cute!!!
Rita....so sorry about your mother in law....I think it's hard at any age really. My great grandparents both lived to 98 and had wonderful lives....and weren't in the best of health before they passed and it was still SO sad!
hugs to you as you say your goodbyes. It's hard!
Hope your kitty's ok tomorrow! Routine surgery...hopefully goes great!
Laura....LOVE the boobs. I sign some emails with my new boobs sometimes! Jenn (--Y--)
Lago...I wanna wear that costume! My DH would totally do it but probably feel himself up all night!
Mak...sorry you're leg still hurts, I hope it's yoga related. Which nausea script did they give you?
So, tx #2 tomorrow....this time instead of wanting to run I'm like bring it on!!!! Than I'm one more closer to done! And my heads falling out of my head like crazy now!!!! Why do wigs have to look so "wiggy"???? I had "Tina" and "cousin it" trimmed and styled a little tonight....adorable until I'm putting it on my head. Even my DH said they are clearly wigs....he's right. BOO!!!
I hope my steroids don't keep me up all night again.....0 -
Ok today is my one week follow up with PS. My native side is still so much bigger than the mx side Urgh! It is tnder to by the incision under it and along the side by my under arm. Wonder if hematoma or capsulation I know nothing about that. It is very firm though the mx side is alot softer. Can I just move forward. I am stuffing the bad side to match the good side. Lol. Wish me luck

"And my heads falling out of my head like crazy now!" Tee Hee funny. You mean hair right. Heads falling out is a SE for a different cocktail
Mahomet you don't look like a guy. Did you just have exchange? It does change in the first 3 months (up to 6). My boobie prizes look so much better than 3 months ago. One was actually square shaped.

Ha ha....darn auto correct and crazy me!!!
yes...my hair but knowing my luck my whole head might follow!!!!
Did I read the dreaded word somewhere, DRAIN??? After the exchange too? Ugh....0 -
Good morning all.

Just a quick drive-by....
Rita....please tell Dave how sorry I am about his Mom. No matter how old we get, we always need our Mommies.0 -
Rita, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Your family is in my thoughts.

Rita... so sorry about your loss. Will be thinking of you two.
I am about to close up the luggage and head to the airport for our two week Italy vacation. Didn't do alot of sleeping last night... kept trying to remember all those last minute things I needed to do. Geesh! Thanks, chemo brain.... i had plenty of lists and think it is all checked! Complicated by the face that one of my foobs turned pretty pink and a bit painful on Sunday so had to email photos to my PS's PA. They decided to treat it as infection and put me on antibiotics. Have to show up in PS office when I get back early October. Just hope that I don't end up in an Italian ER! Think I would rather hop on a flight and come home. All fingers crossed.
Sorry I will miss your dinner. Hope to catch you all next time.

Oh Joann, I hope you have a wonderful time on your trip. I imagine it to be fabulous! I would love to see pics when you return. Here's to a safe flight.
Mahomet, I think you have a cool hair cut. I'm gonna do something fun and that I've always been afraid to do before my hair falls out. Might as well make it fun.
Madismommy I'm with you on the dreaded drain. I still have 1 from the initial surgery. The thought of having them placed again sucks!

Have a wonderful vacation Joan! And fingers crossed that the antibotics work quickly.

Rita, I'm so sorry for your loss. Please tell Dave that your sisters here send their condolences. It's true that being older does not prepare us for losing parents. Hugs to you both.

Rita: Prayers to your family and hugs!
Jenn: I hope today goes ok and you feel good the next few days.
Joan: Buonviaggio! Have a great trip - oh and we got to experience the ER in Tuscany (Siena) on our last trip as my son fell (age 2 1/2 at the time) and cut his head open, They were WONDERFUL and he got excellent care. He was glued together and we were out of the ER in about 30 minutes! I was shocked at how good they were! I hope you don't have to find out though
I hope you are all having a great week. I am glad the sun is out today!!!

Bless your heart tears in my eyes I know how you feel. Been there last year. But shaving is the first step to the new improved you!!! I never thought I would tell anyone that but it's true you will survive and be strong. I just had new boobs put in on the 8th. And my hair is back and nipples around the corner!! We are here for you have that cry it's ok! And then look to a bright future and come here if your ever in doubt! (((BIG HUGGS)))0 -

Love the attitute! You rock!

Robo this is for you Sexy
Joan have fun! I know you will
Mahomet I take my Anastrozole (generic Arimidex) in the morning. I do get stiffness but I also walk every day. It helps. Nothing I can't live with. So far my hair isn't shedding but I did have hair receding before BC so I might not be a good person to go by.

So much going on! Rita, please express to Dave my condolences. I am 63 and my mom was one very confused woman at 92 when she died...but I miss her so much. I was working and so busy when she went through her demise and I just wish I could have/would have just visited more often to just hold her hand, if not to attempt an intelligent conversation with her (she was unable to carry on conversation). Dave should be be proud with his Sunday visits. He truly can be called a faithful son.
Worked today with little kids at school....exhausting but fun. I now know I am in the "grandmotherly" stage of my life in that when a little adorable kid says something tender or precious, I just tear up right there on the spot. Weird!
Robo buzzing your hair.....I LOVE YOUR SPIRIT TOO and you are hot! I am glad the wall of mirrors is telling you the truth. YOU ARE HOT!
Have fun this Friday. I feel I am missing something big time, but there will be other dinners.
Edited to add, I am probably the only girl here who wants to continue arimidex past five years. In the back of my minbd I wonder if it has been the ticket to five years of being free of further cancer. I will know in five months if that is suggested (to continue). I have no complaints. Being 63 I am not sure if tricky knees are due to arimidex or age. I also have a bone density test coming up and I am worried I will get word that I need to go on ANOTHER pill for osteoporosis. I was "borderline" last year, so I suspect I crossed the line this past year.

Zap it's not this Friday it's next Friday, Sept. 30th0

Way to RoBo!!!! It's so hard but so much easier once it's not so long huh? And it sounds like you took it ALL the way down and are doing awesome and yes, Hot Hot Hot!!!! We can show off our head coverings next Friday!!!!!
I have tx #2 under my belt....4 to go!!! I am a bit nauseous tonight though....wasn't at all last time like this. :-/ I've taken my emend (while there in the chair) and a compazine than an Ativan since ivebeen home.... We'll see. I don't feel like sticking my head in the toilet, just feel off. The infusion time was way more condensed (only 2 hrs. 15 min.) today and over 3hrs last time..... And this time the T and C dripped together and the A was injected in there too.... So maybe that's it? If I puke I'm paging my nurse..... UGH. Hope you are all doing well tonight!0 -
Good for you RObo! I can't wait to meet you...
Jenn: glad you knocked out one more chemo...that's great! I hope you have little side effects because I am looking forward to our next walk!!!
Zap: I agree about when kids say cute things...I lose it too. Going through BC makes me so much more emotional. When I was at the Mother's Day luncheon at my son's preschool last spring right after I finished chemo when they sang songs to us...I cried - I kept tearing up. They probably all thought I was a freak....it just made me cherish everything and feel so happy to be there for that special luncheon.

Robo... I love your attitude. You go, gal!
Thanks to everyone for your sympathy. Dave was very touched by your kind, encouraging words. The private gathering and burial of the ashes is tomorrow. That gives some closure.
If you eastern gals do decide to meet in Champaign, let me know. That's not too far from me!
Madismom...sorry that you're feeling a little nauseous tonight. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for you. Remember that lemon drops, Crystal Light or other lemon related products really help cut that nausea and icky feeling. Just rest and listen to your body!
Well, I'm off to find a good book. I really need to make a library run!
More later.
Rita
