But I love trouble so anytime,anywhere.******KAREN-Hi yourself. I'm a nite owl since DH works nites so you'll see me lurking here in the shadows.********GOLDIE-I'm meeting(again) w/an RO on the 9th to decide once and for all about rads. Thinking no on those.

**ouch**, **ughhhhh**, **accckkkkk**....OK that is my vocab just trying to get DOWN to sit in a chair...cannot believe how hard the trainer worked me on Monday...........the front of my legs is so incredibly sore that going up & down (esp down) the stairs is a killer, as is any downward motion. Even kept me up during the night. Too many gazillion lunges and squats in one session!!! And they both told me I wouldn't be sore....ahhh haaa.....maybe not if I was in my 20's! They did a lot of upper body strength/weight exercizes with me too, and TG that doesn't hurt, but I had a nightmare that the recon on 1 side FELL and I was going to have to have that redone cuz of the session! OMG so glad I won't go back till Monday.
OK enuf of my whining....I guess I am in withdrawal cuz no one has posted a DOTD yet...I must be up waaaaaay too early. I need something strong to numb the pain!!
NM, anxious to hear how you are doing!!! Hoping and praying that you are doing really well. Lori, that was such a nice sweet prayer you wrote for NM, the other day!
DorK, Hope you finally made it home....how long were you delayed? Bet your WD's were soooo happy to see their mommy again! Hope your DD did wll while you were gone, and remember your parents will be with you SOOOOOON, for Christmas.
Best to all you loungettes today....just woke up...cannot remember all the posts, but love you all and everyone here contributes something to our wonderful HTL!! Oh yeah, Beans, SO GLAD you posted, I was getting verrrrrry worried about ya. Glad you had a nice time and got home safely!!!
Hugssssssssssssssss,
Kathy

Will have to try and think of a DOTD.......well about we just do Amaretto Slammers. Amaretto with soda, put a napkin over the top, slam it on da bar and down it baby!

Up early this morning and even managed to get a walk in.....and then DD is whiny and cranky cuz I woke her up by showering and shutting drawers......now she is all ticked off at me cuz I yelled at her (yes I did)...I walked to get her bagels and a donut.....she keeps saying she is more tired than normal cuz she got woken up at 5:30....funny thing is, I didn't get in the shower till 5:45!!!! and I even went to get her a donut.......at first she didn't want to eat it cuz she was mad!!! but she did as I told her don't worry I'll take it to work....Now she is okay because she just gave me a big hug and kiss buy....and told me she loves me....She is such a TEENAGER!!!!!! I love her so, but I don't do moody well....if she is crabby to me, I just give it right back to her!!!!
Wednesday mornings I have a little extra time as I don't have to leave till 7:30 or 7:45 compared to 7 or a little after so its nice.....now that I've cooled down from my walk....I wore a winter coat and it was wayyyyyyy too heavy, its time to go put my jewelry and make up on....Wishing everyone a good Wednesday.....and hoping NM is on the mend and she is able to give us an update soon......and that tied isn't too stressed about starting chemo tomorrow....we'll be there holding hands.......well off to finish getting ready for work....oops also got to make my lunch!!!1

Lori, Thanks for posting Karen's pics! Karen, I saw the professional ones of you and your DD2 and they are soooo great! But I loved seeing these too, in more natural settings, and esp of you and our very own Chrissyb, as well as seeing some of your family members! Thanks for sending them to Lori, to post.
OMG Lori, noooooooo, not my intention to make anyone feel bad cuz I did ONE day of exercizing....I am more pointing out the fact that I am SO SORE from doing that!!! That should discourage anyone!!! LOL.
Cheers Dears!

Have been lueking and reading everyone's posts. Just a couple of comments:
- Really thinking of you NM and praying all works with your surgery. Those I know who have had it are glad they did. I think you will enjoy this winter a lot more than normal.
- Kathy......sorry you are aching so much. I am usually aching from something, and find a hot bath really helps with things. Just mentioning.
- Kymn.....glad you are going to get things sorted out in your brain. Because next time needs to be someone who is good for you, not the last deal you got.
Otherwise, I have been busy as have had some major work come my way. Plus 4 parties in 8 days, the first being tonight.
The thought that Christmas is coming and I am not ready (as usual) is starting to dawn on me. Just love this season. Perhaps the parties will get me there.
Back to work, but just wanted to say "hi". - Claire

Good morning from snowy alberta, guess it had to happen eventually so weird two days ago huge grass fire threatening our homes now snow...crazy country I live in. Did I mention I got on a list to see a plastic surgeon? Its going to take about 4 to 5 months to even get in to see him so I have lots of time to think about it. My foob that had the surgery is smaller and sits higher than the other one so am thinking I will just get the other one made smaller and lift her up a bit too so I have a matching set again. Still good size even with the baseball size amount they took out lol. I have my staff Christmas Party this Friday, everyone is all paired up but me
going to feel very strange I havent been the single girl since I was 22 years old. Getting through all these firsts is very difficult. BUT I will get through it. I even started journalling and I hate journalling lol.I think once I get through Christmas and New Years things will get easierNM getting anxious to hear from you, even though I didnt post everyday I always read yours to keep me updtated as you always covered everyone
Sure hope you are feeling alrightKaren and Lulu lets take a trip to the fukitol fountain to get through our Depression shall we and then maybe all the lovely men in here could do a little dance for us that would bring some smiles to our faces.
Karen loved your photos so nice to see you and your lovely family, thanks for posting those Goldie.
undercover...oh I love Vegas, my FAH and I used to go there it was our favorite place to go...doesnt mean I cant go without him though does it lol
Scuby..thanks for sharing Pantz with me I was missing him I promise I wont hog him all the time but maybe he could just stay with me till I fall asleep at night then he could go back to you girls that is one thing I miss for sure a warm body in bed.
Kathy sorry you have to say goodbye to your folks again its so nice how often you get to see each other so often and that you have such a close relationshiop. My parents are coming again this weekend and well quite frankly its starting to bug me how much they are coming, isnt that awful to say but they still treat me like I dont have a brain in my head and I am 18. I love them and they have getten better over the years but very bossy lol they just come in and take over but I am learning to stand up for myself and this is going to stop its my house damn it lol.
dorothy glad you got home safe and sound and didnt pass out in the lounge and miss your flight, so niche of that cute pilot to help you on board and give you a tour of the cockpit
Beans nice to see you in the lounge we really need to catch up , pull up Dorks stool she wont mind she's getting pushed in the hamock by Mr. Big right now.
Claire....Where are you????? Havent seen you in the lounge for awhile please dont tell me you joined AA or something silly like that lol

Sorry I bumped into you Claire....hope I didnt spill anything on your nice outfit...enjoy all your parties I am envious

Kymn, Is your PS surgery still covered? Should be, since this is to get everything looking as good as possible, from bc. The reason I asked, is that my PS really pushes through the bc pts and will work nights and weekends to get them scheduled. But maybe that is mostly for the initial surgery? Don't know, but just thought maybe they could set up an earlier appt for you, since the reason you need more surgery is still from getting bc, and now trying to get "even", matched foobs. Hope they can do it sooner, if you would like that. ALSO, now that you are going as a "single" to the parties, realize the wives/girlfriends will look at you as a threat. That really surprised me after I was widowed...the married ladies at church DID NOT like their husbands even talking to me! OF course I had gotten very slim and had more time to take care of how I looked...LOL...and they had let themselves go (like me now!). But just to alert you ahead of time, that you might see some jealousy and different treatment, as they will feel threatened. And you look smokin hot!!!! Hope you will have a good time, and yes, if you can do some different things over the holidays, it will help make the "firsts" more bearable. You have come such a long way!!!

Hi Kathy,nice soak in the bath with epsom salts to ease the aches and pains

OMG...I hate it when I can't post ever day. I read n read to catch up, then can't member what I read.
I like the 'thought of the day' concept....today this hit me...I realized that always, after Sunday, Monday and Tuesday it's WTF.
Scuby - tanks for the bucket n kind words ref my mom. You too VINO- n I do believe u r right ref her talking to me...ooo dejavu...did I already say this to u? Dang chemobrain!
Dork - ya make it home OK? n ur on for a tropic vaca if DH worms his way outta it.
NM - Been praying like crazzzzyyy...hope u r healing!
Bernie - love ur pickled brain - up against a wall...lol!
WaWa - LOL, don't kno how u doin it...idea of working out like that scares me!
Kymm - hope u do get a matching set soon...am still getting conflicting on taking one but not the other. I think I'm gonna have em both removed, then reconstructed. And, my opinion, but journaling can help. I journaled all thru my chemo and emailed to family n friends. Many think I should publish it...not. Anyway, u've come sooo far and have a whole new journey ahead of u and I/we all behind ya n will catch ya if ya stumble...even if from the dwinky...lol
Karen - Love the pics...b u tee ful family!
Goldie - that rollercoaster u posted yest sounds yummy, n I love rollercoasters, cept not when I've had 1 too many. May fix me a dwink later, gotta clean clean clean, have to work tammary, n having a Jockey for Her clothing party Fri afternoon, so now's my chance.
Will try to get back later for dwinks...til then...MUAH!

Sue, is that from House Party? I used to have fun with their parties, but this past year have been too bizzy. Hope you have fun!!!
Bernie, yeah, gotta 'member to git more epsom salts today and will try that.

I am a Body Shop fan myself. The most amazing potions to brighten up a bath.
Plus, you can do a scented candle and glass of wine. Made that offer to a friend of mine where they are fixing a water main.
Occasion for a non breakable wine glass though. I know the advertisements show crystal, but I know better.
Happy soaking!

I gave up jogging for my health when my thighs kept rubbing together and setting my pantyhose on fire.

Goldie - thanks for the super nice welcome back! Totally awesome pics of Karen and her family! Thanks for posting!! As for avatar...??? I think maybe to go back to the cat puking. This will get me thru the holidaze.
Bernie - My brain is pickled too, my nephew got me a cute note pad for my BD that says. LOL at your pantyhose catching on fire!
Kymn - Wishing you the best with your plastic surgeon apt. Good luck too at the party, it is kinda hard to adjust to being single, but I just know you will have a great time, specially when all the cute guys realize you are single!
Still trying to catch up, unpack and my husband has a long list of stuff for us to do today. Mrs_V, Memasue, Juliet so good to be back to see ya all! Wishing everyone a great day!

Pau Hana Time! Anyone here to dwink wid? Actually just have a few minutes. Took my mom out to lunch and shopped all afternoon, still in a lotta pain, but....this is funny....now my mom is saying she knows EXACTLY how I feel as she has overdone excersizing also and been just as sore. WTH? I said well she prolly didn't do it at my age, and Oh Yes, she did! LOL. I know she has never done this type of stuff at my age, but now she is convinced she did. Oh well. I am just glad to be with her! And for all you girlz that told me to soak w/ epsom salts, I did that a little while ago, and now am hoping the Seagrams/Diet will help dull the pain too! A girls gotta try, right? Gonna leave in a few minutes to drive thru the Galaxy of Lights...its so awesome and takes about an hour to go thru (gotta go slow). SO glad you are baaaaaaack Beans!
My tablet just arrived, now to figure the darn thing out! LOL
C'mon and dwink wid me for a few more minutes, or I might just take Pants into the back room by meself! Oops!

Hiya ladies,
Well I have finally caught up in reading. Such great posts from everyone.
Karen, your pics are awesome, you have a gorgeous family. I agree that seeing photos make for a more personal experience here and it makes me feel I know you better.
Bernie, you are something, I love your short posts, your jokes crack me the hell up.
Lori, thanks for the compliment, you are too kind. But I haven't any tip for you so no use ling lol.
Kymn, it is so nice to see you coming back on a more regular basis. And you go girl, supporting others who are just beginning their journeys. Way to give back.
I am totally exhausted. We did not get home until after 3am. I was pretty trashed from all that likker at the airport then more in the plane. Cheap me bought airplane bottles for a buck each and brought two for each of us. I did not think that the TSA would allow them but the dude in the likker store said that people bring them often in their carry on. Dork figured it was worth a shot. I am extremely sore due to two separate stupid accidents I had, I took two falls. I just can't win. Fortunately, my arm is feeling great and I have made great progress in the past week. My my right hip, back and thighs are sore and bruised. I scream in pain in just trying to cross my leg. Dats what I get for playing super woman. I took a percocet today and that calmed the pain a lot. I am down to just a handful of percocet so have to take them only when the advil does not touch the pain. I think I need a spanking, anyone see Mr. Big around?
I called my surgeon and asked if he will release me back to work next week and am waiting to hear back.
My doggies were soooo happy to see me and I was just as happy to see them. I missed my babies so much. My DD did a wonderful job taking care of them and my home was quite tidy. hmmmm, party cleanup? lol. She is a great kid and I do trust her.
I would love to post to everyone but there are now so many of us, I would have to take notes.
Karen, I just heard on the news about the former sheriff in your area who was arrested for trading drugs for sex. You all must be shocked over this news. I think I heard the news caster say that the prison he is in is named after him, how ironic is that, yikes. Gosh, so much scandal lately. I have been following the Penn State scandal and this all sickens me.
Scuby, I will see you tomorrow night, yes? I have to find out if DH wants to come but I will be there. When does your DH get home from work? I can't wait to meet your knight in shining armour. I know I will approve of him lol.
Well I might be back later, that is if I can stay awake. I slept until 11am this morning and napped another hour. Don't tell but I am having herbal tea tonight. I believe that is a sin here at the HTL.
Cheers my lovely ladie fwends, you are all de best bwest fwends a gal could want!

WaWa...no...it's that Jockey underwear company now doin clothes for "her" kinda thingy. Yoga/workout clothes, plus...career/traveler easy care, roll em up n head em out in ur luggage, n buy 3 o4 4 pieces and interchange for new look every day. Kinda pricey, but what the hey, doin it for a friend, so all good. Never hear of House Party, but back in the day (40 lbs svelter) used do the 'Slumber Party' parties...ya kno, sent in brown wrappers n garunteeeeeddd to make ever woman feeeellll sssssooooo gggoooodddd.

OOHHHH....WAWA ref ur muscles....I read/heard/saw something bout CHOCOLATE Milk being great as repair for muscle aches...like a marathon runner said he drinks a glass after a run, then someone else, a doc or researcher, sed the chocolate DOES help muscle repair, ease soreness, etc. HEY, ADD a little likker....ya never kno. I hate milk, but since I read that...guess what...yeah not hard to figure out huh.
DorK----OMG glad u back! Quit with the SuperWoman chit....lol...hope u get some rest tonite...I gotta work tammary morn...but will try to pop in for a dwink. Missed u!

Female "friend" and suspect all is well there now.
On the topic of nightwear, was glad I had switched over to "sweats" the other night when fire alarm went off shortly after I had turned in. Anyway, much more presentable for a quick trip out to the street than some of the things i have worn in the past.
Building par-tay was a bit of a bust (although did meet a nice new neighbor) so had some more soup, bread, and wine. A wonderful dinner. Par-tay #2 tomorrow night. Light on the wine as will have to drive. Should be fun though.
Need to get one more thing out this evening. BottomZZZZZZZZ up. - Claire

Sue, LOL....yes of course I know the Jockey for Her line! But thought it was a "House Party"....if you apply and get picked you get to do all sorts of parties....they send the products and some goodies...I have done Clairol Hair Color parties, Zatarain, Friday Night LIghts, The Closer,etc.Hope your party is fun! Sounds like the ones you did "back in the day" that arrived in brown wrappers, was definately fun. Well, tried chocolate, but didn't work for me....hmmmm maybe I should try some more, and some more....lol.
DorK, OMG what an ordeal, glad you finally got home!!! And WTH is this about taking little likker bottles thru security??? Dang, wish I could get away with that. Sheesh most of the security lines we have gone thru lately have been soooooo strict! Lucky girl! And I knew your DD would take care of the furbabies and your home...she is a sweetie...I think you should keep her....LOL. And what is this about falling? Ouch! I can empathize with pain right now. Hope you start feeling better soon!!! Let's see....you can use the advice I was given.....warm soaks in the tub, warm soaks with epsom salts, chocolate.... But wait a minute, if we just get dwunk we shouldn't feel the pain, right? Hope you can sleep tonight...my pain kept waking me up. (((hugs))) to you, dear friend.
Beans, that was such a funny memory picture!
The lights were amazing, but my dad was in a grouchy mood, so sorta put a damper on things. He didn't even talk the entire time, just sulked, and HE was the one that wanted us to go there. Then after they got home he was emotionally mean to my mom....I think he can't handle it when she forgets things all the time, and it exasperates him. She called cuz she was trying to find something and he was giving her a hard time about it. Hope I can find it tomorrow for her!!!
Ummmmm anyone for a nightcap?????

WaWa----im here for d nite cap....ok, ur make me a fool...House Party...never erd of it...but ok..we cool now...wait...outta voka..bbs

Hi all
I confess I have not read all 645 pages! but I have read through the last few posts. With that in mind after my diagnosis I now drink wine and beer and occasionally something fancy like a cablecar I tried in Arizona last week - reason? I had been completely and I mean completely without alcohol for oh about 22 years. I have no idea why I was diagnosed - doesn't run in the family. I have been tested in that regard negatively for BRAC so if 22 years of abstinence after a few years and like I mean 2 or 3 years of college drinking give you breast cancer God help us all. take care all
