    Good Morning Ladies.

    Blessings what an awful thing to happen, I knew u fell and stuff but didn't realize is was that bad--OMG u have to rest, are they doing any more tests on you just to make sure, I think I would want something done, please talk to u'r Dr. about this and of course u have to relax until this gets straightened out.

    Chevy is that why u'r brain is all wacky? OK u now have an official reason---I do not I just enjoy being this way.

    Damn I had so much more to say and don't remember now at all.

    Ok, ladies, one more time, here I go!  I'm sure this is NOT the thread that this should be posted on, but I don't know where! 

    My back issues "seem" to be getting better, however, NOW if I stretch and try to push my shoulders together in back, it hurts like heck!  Anyone have any suggestions?  My chiro, jokingly said, well if it hurts don't do it!

    This is true Nettie.... just don't do it....  There is something going on, but it will probably leave within a few days... 

    Maybe it's like those aching necks, and shoulders we wake up with, and we don't know what caused it. 

    Peppermint.... You too?  Yes... it's just like that!  I guess when it was "time" something took over, and we could step PAST all that awful memories we had when we were little, and we could begin again....  It IS true!  We don't NEED those memories I guess.   We built our own life, and did a much better job.... right?

    Yes.. Too much drinking, screaming.... men taking advantage of little girls....  Mom not around... It's like we raised ourselves.... but we made it.

    Good morning Owlettes, just popping in to say Good Morning! Lots to do this morning, could sit here all day...

    Nettie, I'm with your chiro - if it hurts and you can avoid it, don't do it!

    Patty, thanks! Decisions were actually made (mainly by my dad), today is about making it happen: geriatric specialist eval, turn in the paperwork, mark all of Mom's possessions she will be taking and packing them together (and getting them out to the car before she can unpack them and scatter them throughout the house). Then the most difficult part of all, actually getting her there and settled. Expecting to have problems with Dad over that part. 

    Chevy, hopefully, that resolves the issues with the PITA. You've done enough, time for her kids (or others, not you) take care of her. What a relief that now when you're phone rings, you know you won't have to go running. 

    Sassy, I need to be sitting in front of a laptop before I can answer your tech questions as it's not the same with the Mac devices I had at home. Refresh my memory: you don't have a mouse, just the finger pad on the the laptop? Maybe I can try to call on my way to my parents. If not, I'll be back with you after the dr appt (late afternoon here?). Hopefully, someone can help you before then.

    Mostly Mom, the owl looks good enough to eat!

    Looks like I'm off to see the wizard!

  • Got my MRI results back and it's pretty bad news. I'll be needing whole brain radiation and starting chemo again. I told hubby I'm not doing it anymore and he broke down and asked me to do it for him so I will.

    love to you all

    Oh FierceBB, I am so very sorry for you! Please don't take my posted images as insensitive, I didn't see your post until after I posted what I did and went to check them out (your post got in between). You and your family will be in my prayers. Gentle hugs to you, my friend!

    FBB, saw your kayak pic on another thread.  Awesome!!!  Also wanted to tell you that a lady on another thread I go to has done well with the WBR and her new chemo.  She is awesome and I am sure would be happy to share her experience with you.  She started the rads and chemo in March. PM me if you would like her info.  I know she would be a great source of info and inspiration!  Cami, you know who I mean!!!

    Chevy, playing innocent about seeing that flower pic on the net.  Well you can email me anything (again!) that you are too "tame" to post!!!

    Hope all you great ladies here are having a good week.  Sorry I don't pop by more often.  Busy busy summer.  Plus thought I was in the clear for a while too and here I sit by the phone waiting for more biopsy results too.  I hate, hate, hate this RB we all have come to live with except for the fact that it brings great people together.

    This is what we're watching instead of TV. The eggs should hatch in the next 2-3 days. Our fingers are crossed for a healthy family. She's nesting right under our deck roof. It's so funny when she leaves to eat and the Dad stands guard. He keeps looking around and  has that familiar look of husband waiting while wife shops.

    FBB-I'm so sorry to hear this and your post about your dh made me tear up. ((hugs)) I know how hard this must be and I know how bad it feels to not want to go back and do chemo, but you are doing for your loved ones. I'll be praying for you girl...you and your dh.

    anyone know anything about oxidized water and if it is a gimick? I've got some family members who keep talking about how wonderful it is for cancer, just curious. Also, anyone heard of spraying green tea on the skin before/after radiation?
