    How did I miss Cammi's b-day? What didn't I see? Another year younger, my dear Cammi? Hoping you had a wonderful day!

    Pawprint, how is dear Annie Mae this evening? And how are you holding up my friend? Hoping you can get some restful sleep tonight. 

    Chevy, I still don't know how you did the underlines. Special key?

    Wirdgirl, didn't see you sneak on in, you fit in great. Keep coming back!

    Now, Dutchie, did you make the call today? It's not as like you're been calling several times a day for weeks on end. Just one call (ok, maybe more). As said on other threads, a stressed body (and that's one in pain) can't heal as fast or properly so hoping you made that call and got a great response. 

    Blessings, you need to take photos of everything? For tax purposes? Seems like a lot of work.

    4444Sew, sounds like you're going to be b-u-s-y! Pace yourself.

    Smaaarty, thinks for the wedding photos - beautiful family! Really looking forward to seeing the dresses you sewed.

    LuvMG, this insurance issues is driving me batty! Have always had fairly decent insurance thru employment (mine or DH's). this ACA is ridiculously stupid! And every time they check our info, they screw it up (the last ya-who coded DD as making $17K per MONTH! No wonder it's all f-ed up!! Then it's, please be patient, BS! And the cards will be out to you in a couple weeks, that would be no! Paid for the month of May and haven't been able to use it so pro-rate what I couldn't and apply to next month's. AND FEDEX/OVERNIGHT THE DAMN CARDS TO ME! Tired of waiting.... (Sorry, didn't mean to yell at you, just going crazy)

    Speaking of going cray-cray, how are you Sassy-pants?

    Jwow, have photos for you. DH took some of the curly 'do, need to send them from my cell to email to PM you. Just seems more than my brain can handle today. (Especially on 3 hours sleep)

    Spookie's mom, saw the photo of beloved Spookie on another thread, what a cute furbaby!

    For all that I missed, hoping your week started off well. 

    At least Chevy didn't post the Chicken (Chit) Whisperer. I know I wasn't the only one thinking that!

    And.... psssst..... have not one but two job interviews this week (same company, two different locations and they start off part time, so maybe.........)

    Only had one small bite to eat today and I'm hungry........

    Okay...random and tmi time....I've developed this annoying scratchy cough thing over the last week. It is worse at night time and when I cough I pee myself. Yes ladies, I'm peeing myself. good times! I put a pad on earlier because of this. I kind of think its allergies, but not so sure. Anyway, just thought I'd share. lol, I don't even know why lol. I wanted to tell someone and for some reason I thought someone here could relate :)

    tang, I used to have the same problem. 3 kids, and overweight added up to wet pants whenever I sneezed, jumped, or cough to hard.  Had a sling put in about 2-1/2 years ago. It works unless I really cough really bad. This was the first of 7 sx since then. 

    Happy birthday Cami, will you share that choc cake? Hersey bars and kisses! Yummmm.

    camillegal Posts: 15,710

    Tang it could be allergies, after all this crap some develop this other crap. As far as peeing I pee all the time I LOL which is a lot so I can't help on that one.

    Smarty of course I'll share--yummy

    Thanyou Ziggy Well I'm younger than Chevy/

    Tang, my MO kept asking me when I was getting Taxol if I thought I had a bladder infection. NO. Then when I had that long survivorship meeting with an oncology nurse practitioner, she told me that Taxol can cause some permanent bladder issues. 

    The cough could be allergies, but the weak bladder? Stay off  trampolines and do not laugh too hard. Lol....

    camillegal Posts: 15,710

    Hole I never heard that about Taxol but interesting, well I don't know for sure if I had it--I know I should know but I don't know any of them except the red devil and I don't even know the real name--but it is red that's how I knew--Anyway I have so many bladder problems hmmmm I'll see the urologist next week so I have to mention this cuz  she can look up what I had, I guess--it's all in the computer I think. Oh WTF do I know--OK nothing. Jeez how could I know nothing really about all this when I'm feeling crappy every day--u'd think I would take some interest in this. Ick I hate to think about it.

    FierceOne - not sure about "Teka's picture" but did google barred owls. Sorry, yes, barred not barn owl. We had one last summer sitting just outside den window under arc light. I think this one had ear tufts though. But yes I hear the "who cooks for you" clearly and loudly even in the house. Read on Wikipedia that a barred owl was photo. grabbing a domestic cat. They can keep eating all the nasties that live out along the creek. My detached garage is not sealed terrifically well but I've only had a mouse in there a couple of times. I give credit to the owls. W. also says they call during the day. We have a nice pop. of red tailed hawks so might be alerting for them or crows. I would think babies would have all fledged by now.

    Phone crisis averted. I picked up phone to dust it and golly gee it had a dial tone. Guess something in switching station was checked and fixed after I reported it. My internet was down for about 30 min also this afternoon which never happens. Don't think it was a coincidence. But I can say that corner where I thought the problem might be with the phone is mighty clean and I'm mighty tired. Now to finish the rest of the room.

    Gosh Tang I agree I would think allergies first. Esp with all the rain you had your way, fungus - y stuff and blooming stuff. (Our way out west is dying rather than blooming) Do you take Claritin (the plain not decongestant) or did you take it with chemo? I've gotten to taking one every day. Think it helps me but not sure. Some people swear by Zyrtec but I don't think I liked it and not sure why. I'm not a Benadryl girl - makes my hyper if I take it at bedtime - found that out when I took Tylenol PM. Maybe try the cheapie generic Claritin (loratadine) small bottle then if it doesn't work not much money wasted. I think coughs are worse at night because you don't have anything else going on. True for most anyone. Or could be the "dreaded" post nasal drip. Can't speak to peeing pants at your age. Let's just say when I 1st get up in the morning don't get between me and the BR or there's going to be trouble.

    I knew that about the Taxol and bladder damage...I just finished another round of antibiotics for a UTI. I wonder if that has anything to do with pee thing. Meh, I'm not to worried, its just annoying.

    Goats-I used to take zyrtec daily, but it stopped working for me. I swear once it went OTC it wasn't as effective. I think I have some Benadryl, but if I take it now I'll have a hangover in the morning lol. I think my dd has the same thing as you, gets hyper with Benadryl.

    I'm restless tonight. I'm tired, but can't quite sleep. I'm gonna see if I can figure out how to post a pic here, I posted yestreday on FB a pic of myself in my bald headed glory. It felt good and freeing!

    Chevy and Luvmygoats - the Trigger Finger is from the AI. Never had it before, and it went away when I went on my drug holiday. Started Femara and back it came. HOWEVER.... last night I wrapped my finger in Spider Tape ( Kinesio-Tape, like they use in PT, where the adhesive has channels in it for blood and lymph flow) and this morning = no trigger!!! Woot!

    2TA - probably not necessary to photograph all the donation stuff, but I started doing it years ago to match the written lists I had made. We were donating thousands of dollars of stuff, and I didn't want to get audited. Today DH took a truckload full of clothes over to the hospice thrift store. I mean, the bed was filled! p.s. LOVE your cute pics!!!

    And Miss Cammi: Happy Belated Birthday!!! Hope it was awesome!!!

    Tang, GREAT photo, & you are smiling. 

    Looks like me with the blankets, my bald head was always cold, had a beanie on most the time. In fact I put one on tonight at golf, it got cold at the end of the evening.
