    Tang - Cami is having sometime today a cystoscopy - camera of urethra/bladder. Per her choice she will be awake maybe slightly drugged but certainly no gen. anesthesia or even the loverly Propofol. She calls it pe-ectomy.

    Oo - good call. Missed Ziggy. O Ziggy where are you?

    Hope you get DH to doc. Mine goes reluctantly yearly but just to keep his BP meds.

    I'm in for Chevy's porch.

    so it's Chevys porch for the tea party now??   Sounds good to me...Chevy now has the ingredients to make the brownies !!

    Sas....you really r mom.....all the kids came back....but need to find ziggy I guess. There is always a lost sheep...but they find there way back...or someone will thread search and seek her out. Just like to know everyone is ok.

    FBB, my heart goes out to you.  Hope you world settles down and peace takes over. I. Sending prayers of comfort and peace your way :)

    Ok, I’ve been reading for days about this Peectomy Cami is having and all I can say is
    OUCH!  Cami you are a brave lady!

    And I was wondering the same about Smaarty and Estrogen, but Gardengumby
    beat to asking about it!

    Welcome and Happy Birthday to you, tressaliz!  Also, prayers for
    your daughter! That’s such a young age!

    And Susan you are
    so correct with what you say about the rest of us, especially me, let’s see how
    did you put it? “And well, then theres just
    the rest of us.  There is a bunch of us, and we forget who is gettin what
    and when, we mess up names.....but no one cares. We know what we r talking
    about....you know like family. Don't have to say it correctly....we can fix and
    finish each other's sentences......when they r not being made up....lol”

    Chevy, my daughter would love you garden, she is def a garden person and since she no
    longer lives with us, I have NO gardens!  But she has her new place really coming together and she would love the pots, I’ll have to show her your pic!

    FBB—I agree with hubby throwing her out!  You have done
    your part and raised her, it’s time she step up to the plate and take a swing
    for herself! You nor your DH need added stress at this time!  Although, I know your illness is stressful
    for her too, but at 20 she should know how to act!  I know it’s tough, as mothers, we worry!  Always have, always will, but at some point we have to draw a line!  When each of my two graduated from high school, my DH gave them a choice, go to college or go to work and if you go to work you will be moving out!  Both went to college!  And as soon as they finished college they were on their own!  I’m still sorry you have to endure this added stress!

    Well, I’m still behind!  I’ll catch up more later!

    But wanted to add, chiro put me on decompression table Monday…..it seems to have helped
    although that in and of itself has added some soreness!  Off to massage today, so hopefully by the
    weekend, I’ll know if the table worked!!

    Just a quick check-in

    Cami, hope you're doing well and home soon to rest. Brave lady you are, I would have required heavy meds for that little look-see. You'll have to tell us about it.

    BBL!

  • Thanks everyone. Life just sucks right now, but all I needed was a group hug!

    Fierce....!  We're with you hon....  What is? Is....... that's what my Brother always says about his kids....   sometimes you just have to step back and take a breath, and know it will turn out alright...  

    Kids that age just know it all.... I remember that.... Glad I don't have to go through it now....I would go nuts....  If you call the "Mom"....  all you can do is explain what happened...  she will understand... 

    OR, you could just go over there, hog-tie her, and drag her home by the heels and lock her in her room, never to see the light of day AGAIN, unless she behaves... 

    Sorry.............

    FBB we all understand and I think sometimes girls are worse than boys, she'll come around my DD was like 21, 0r 22 and she was a different person. And another thing is she's probably scared like crazy for you, she just doesn't know how to process it st all--(((HUGS)))

    Oh please I am not brave it didn't hurt at all, well after I sang my song and my legs were in the stirrups I did say that my legs haven't been in that position for anyone in many years, She said nothing looked crazy but took a biopsy of course she wasn't looking at my brain otherwise it would have been a whole different conversation altho some have said my brain is in that area as I told her. I'm fine really. U really don't need any drugs for that--I didn't have anything so if u ever need one really u don't feel anything that hurts.

    But I did come home and had to catch up on my work (voicemails) and caught up on here a little, now I'm tired. so I'll relax some now.

    goodnight everyone. Going to bed early. Need to catch up on sleep. And I will try not to hurt myself

  • Ha ha ha Susan! I've actually done that! That or turned over and kicked myself with a sharp toenail. Ouch

    Susan! I HATE it when that happens. Lucky I haven't given myself a black eye!

    susan - the CT report says "there is a destructive lesion involving the right aspect of the inferior aspect of the sternum.  WTF?? Really, who gets one of those....whatever they are?  It says there is a lucent (???!!) lesion which measures 12 x11 x24mm.  Again WTF??!! Anyway (deep breath) I have some sort of destructive force that is 12x11x24mm that is right but inferior somewhere around my sternum.  Also some other crap!  I think it is all caused by the ankle monitor that Chevy and cammi insist that I wear.  I had to get new batteries so that I could power my cell phone and iPad from it. Must be the wi-fi waves?
    Okay, that probably made no sense but neither do destructive aliens in my chest.

    Holey - thank you for the paintball party.  Paintball guns are necessary any time someone tries to stick a big fat needle in my chest. 

    cammi so glad that your "procedure"  or pee-cedure went smoothly and without pain.

    chevy -  I LOVE the idea of a GPS for sassy's brain!

    Blubie - good luck with the CT.  Chest X-rays do not have the right to be suspicious.

    p.s. count me in for tea and a bong


  • sas-schatzi
    sas-schatzi Posts: 15,889

    Uh? Gps for my brain? Why? What will it show? Canwelearnfromthis?  Will it find my sweet spot? Do we get to fix things while we are wandering around in there? What should we fix? I vote for fixing the tinnitus.

    I'm open for a discussion? This could be wild or dull. I prefer wild. But let's have this insertion of the GPS on Chevy'porch with tea and the bong. And chocolates. Everyone please wear a hat. 2ta please have a purple feather. Should be promptly at half passed, on the agreed day which is after the other day. Twiddle Dee.

    The chickens will lay in unison for our amusement .sassy

    Yea....party on Chevy's porch (and yard)..I'm in.

    Sorry to hear yucky news from FBB and Philli. Extra hugs to both of you. Maybe Chevy will share what she took out of the rhino pot with you. 

    Cami, glad to hear test was pain free. 

    Thank you Sas for info on the iron scan. I will share it with my doc. Cancer was 100% estrogen, and onco score only 8. So no chemo or rads. Arimidex for me since mastectomy. 4.6 cm liver tumor of unknown status since its in a dangerous location that can't be biopsied. Only shows on MRI but not on CT. I don't absorb iron taken orally. Had lots of tests checking for bleeding. So as of now it's iron deficiency anemia, cause unknown. 

    Hi 2nd, if you're lurking. 

    Susan, so funny, I often knock myself in the face pulling up my blanket.

    Oh chit, I woke up, cuz I couldn't sty up earlier, oh to be young and sleep when u'r supposed to or stay awake when u want to and sleep cuz u've been partying or staying up on purpose or sleeping cuz u'd rather--where the eff am I going with this???? Whatever

    And have most or all of us hit ourselves cuz we pulled to hard on the cover, I LOLed until u were saying u've done it too.

    OK PhyloWTFare u talkingabout??? I don't understand if u can explain it better please, or someone explain it.

  • Chevyboy
    Chevyboy Posts: 10,258

    Issokay Cammi!  We gotcha babe...  We understood everything you said....  more or less.

    And you don't have to go anywhere with anything...  Just glad they didn't do anything to your brain...  Oh wait..... never mind.

    So it WAS like that whatever they do with your feet in the stirrups, and you are grabbing onto that table like billy-hell, and they have the whole 4th floor standing there, looking at your what-evers, and they are snickering and pointing?

    I had that 4,000 years ago, and they electrocuted things from up there, and I swear to GOD I wanted to kick him in the face, it hurt so bad.  Glad they only all looked at you and laughed and took notes....  Damn people ANYway!

    Okay, PHYLLIWITHGODONLYKNOWSWHAT...... Maybe it means this?  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2706332/

    I looked up what you almost said...  Is it a "destructive force" like with Darth Vader or something?  Can't you ever do ANYthing boring? 

    "Pronounced "lee-sion" with the emphasis on the "lee," a lesion can be almost any abnormal change involving any tissue or organ due to disease or injury. There are numerous types of lesions with different naming classifications."

    So maybe they can figure out what to do with you?  Wouldn't it be nice, if they could just do something simple!   Or just tell them to "fix it" damnit!    Sorry little Filly....

    Yes LittlePaws.... you can bring your Pups!   It's the back patio, that is up for partying... porch only has a little round table... We can't all fit!

    image

    Sassy, we can put a GPS in your little head, and then we can all talk back and forth like that!  And you can just click a switch, and shut it off when you don't want to think anymore, or be bothered by your brain going every which way, trying to think!

    About the Tinnitis....  Wouldn't you just love if your ears were like your nose, and you could BLOW it, and clean everything out?  That is my wish for today.  Then I could hear...  See, we could hold our nose, and BLOW, and our ears would just clean themselves out!  Without blowing out our brains!   Like sometimes happens.

    Yes, and the Chickens...!  They would feel bad if we didn't bring them over too! 

    Morning Blessings and FBB!  And Susan!  I love the pictures!  I sent that one saying to my Daughter's!

    Hi Peppermint! And 222222nd!  Cute kitties....

    image

    LittleGoats, did you see THIS?  I thought of you!  Miniature Mama gave birth to a mini-miniature baby! 

    Okay... starting to get light out... have to go get my coffee, and sit at my little table and bring on the DAY!

    Morning Nettie, Tang and HIO!  xoxoxoxoxo

    Phily. Thanks for the explanation....notice I didn't say clarification, of what you are waiting to find out about.......I have a heart doc who says after a test.......that was just a finding, now we need another test to see if it is anything we need to do something about........that's what yours sounds like. There is something there, they need to clarify what it is. They just like to word it in a way that is code for them. I think it's a cruel game they play of...let's stress out  the patient .  It is such a pain to wait so long for the biopsy. Let's hope they r taking their time cause they arent worried.

    good morning owlettes......isn't that beautiful ??   Unbelievable beauty in this world !!

    Hoping everyone will have a great day today....tomorrow I will be with my nieces, 4 of them, for a girls spa overnighter.  We r staying at a hotel nearby me Friday night then we are getting mini facials and pedicures on Saturday, and there is a place here where this girl makes up lipstick for you. Mixed the colors puts it in the freezer and sticks it in a tube. It is fun to do. She works out of this throwback kitchen of the 50s.  Cute store. All pink stuff, she is in a poodle skirt, 50s hair, and a small sales area of 50s and 40s stuff...hats, jewelry etc. very excited about this weekend. Ages from mid 20s to mid 30s. These. Girls are a blast.     Can't wait...

    Ok, enough blabbing

    Let's be pain free today........drugs anyone???

  • Susan, that sounds like so much fun! Have a great time!

    Took my Chevy To the Levy, loved the goat pics!  Party on the patio! I'll bring my chickens too. 

    Reruns tonight of cami's peetest. Summertime TV is so boring.

    Phillawhatthehell, Ain't got no time for that! Lesion schmesion. That super strong battery interfered with their test. Now they have to change all their signs to say, NO CELL PHONE USE or ANKLE MONITORS may interfere with testing equipment.  I'm coming to cut that damn ankle bracelet off. I don't care how pretty cami and Chevy thinks it is. Supercalifragilisticexpialodocious hugs being sent your way.

    ((hugs))

    My chemo crash hit last night, but it is the last one! I think chemo causes my brain to go depressed, is that possible? I literally feel a dark filter go over my thoughts. I'm okay now, but last night it hit hard.

    I still want to go on that porch, or I gotta make my own. I have a list of things I want to do after all tx is done. :)

    Good Morning Wiser Owletesses

    Tang yes stupid chemo can do anything to you. It's over now and you feel somewhat better. Think tomorrow will be even better.

    Susan beautiful pics. What a fun day planned. Pampering all day long must be followed by a GREAT meal :) Succulent lobster with real melted butter with a squirt of lemon, garlic juice in the lemon and a pinch of Tarragon. HMMMMM. Strawberries and grapes. Strawberries dipped in warm chocolate. Green grapes dipped in sugar straight from the freezer. Fresh brewed tea and a bong. Life doesn't get any better.

    What else is on the menu?

    We are all worried about Ziggy. Remember though her life work right now besides staying well, is to take care of her Mom who has alzheimers. That can be all time consuming. It's very tough doing it alone. It's a 24/7 job. Ziggy hope you are okay. Is anyone in Hudson helping out?

    2TA hang in there babe. There must be a light at the end of the tunnel. One minute at a time. Too bad you can't just leave. Pack a bag , get your papers and just leave. You have your friend up north. There is no reason to stay when all about you, treat you so horribly.

    HUGS

    Ok, I surely have missed something important going on with you, Phragm!!!  So what’s all this going
    on with your chest?  Hope you get some good news!

    And I’m in for the tea and chocolates, but I’m not sure about the bong, I’m a wimp!

    And Cami I’m with you on the sleeping issues, I used to be able to sleep whenever I wanted however I wanted but no more!  I can’t seem to manage a full nights sleep, therefore, I find myself dozing all through the day!

    And although I don’t have continuous ringing in my ears, I do get it from time to time and find it quite annoying!  I also found out from my PCP check up that I have/had fluid behind my left ear, WTH! 
    Anyway, I think with new antihistamine it must be draining because my ear has been itching like crazy and runny with stuff (don’t mean to gross anyone out)!  I never even knew I had any
    problem with my ear!

    Aw Chevy, I love the pic of the baby goat, I want to own one, one day!  I just love them!

    Oh my Susan, I just love the pic of the purple(fuscia) flowers!!  That is my favorite color!  Wish I could visit that place in person!

    Tang congrats on the last chemo!

    Sorry if I missed anyone! Hope everyone is having a great day!
