Sas, is today your birthday or tomorrow?? Either way, Happy Birthday!! And also to CHEVY!!!
Today is my DD’s 25th birthday!!
And there are no Spine Specialist around here! After my visit with my MO on 8/13, I will move forward with getting the back checked out! Yesterday, I did some work in a flower bed that my DD had when she lived at home, I’m not a gardener, so the bed was just an eye sore! So I am beginning to clean it up and put it back to just “nothing”! But I had a lot
of bricks to move and weeds to pull! I nearly passed out from the heat, but I thought I would surely pay for it today
with an extreme back ache, but to my surprise, the pain is no worse! I’m not sure if this is a good thing or bad
thing!Speaking of Bras – I haven’t visited the page, but I’m assuming it is for MX ladies! I just wonder if anyone else has trouble with the bras curling up under the boob! I have forever and I do mean forever had to go around constantly pulling down on my bra, it is just so uncomfortable and this started the day I had to start wearing bras and actually has nothing to do with the BC! It’s so bad that in the winter, I wear the full body suits just so I don’t have the riding up and curling, but it’s way too hot here to do that in the spring and summer.
And I too loved the show “Alice”!! Wonder why there are no reruns of it on cable???
And HI1 is tomorrow your birthday also?? I’m so confused! But that’s nothing new around here!
And Chevy, it’s not nice to blow the cake in Sassy’s face!!! Or to tip over her glass!!

Yes Enerva..... this is soooooo true! I am really blessed.
Nettie.... my bras do the same thing! Is it because I am not thin? The best way to solve that is ..... don't wear a bra. I only wear one when I go out anyway. My poor boobs are like little water balloons.... but I should never say anything, because I have them. "They" have taken on a life of their own. They go their own direction, unless they are coaxed into a bra... it's like rolling them up... they are much happier free and loose..... like me.
I KNOW what you are thinking Cam.... I can read your mind..... But wouldn't it be fun just to sit out somewhere and talk? Just like old girl-friends.

YOU GUYS ARE a RIOT. I DO SUPPOSE WHEN I TALK OF Birds flying around in the box I do seem confused. But it is my birthday today. My real twin and I were there. My real twin is Susan. Really do I need to get my birth certificate? Now someone's going to think Susan 3 bday is today .Seriously I do have a twin. We were 24 minutes apart. They didn't expect her.Almost lost her. I WAS 4lbs1oz. Susan was 6lbs8oz.

Sas, I probably should put this in one of our original boxes, but I'm too lazy today.
I'm just so confused as to why all the back pain now!!! I never had issues like this before DX!! That is why my brain goes directly to the dark place, even though, I'm told that more likely than not, this is all caused from the radiation damage and possibly some nerve damage and/or scar tissue forming from my lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy.

PhyllisinHouston - what's the word on the clinical trial? Sassy - I read that "pickup tricks with lots of men in them". Bet Phyllo left it in on purpose - wink wink!
Sorry Spookie for the LE flare/cellulitis. Doing any better today? Oh yes remember "kiss my grits".
Enerva - read your info on BC genes. Scary how much is interconnected.
Susan - so happy for your surprise daughter visit. Enjoy - you deserve it.
Yes Pawprint - local story here about smartphone (unsure of brand) belonging to kid catching fire under her pillow. Just saw that UCLA video with the water damage - 10 million gallons of water. We had a local water co. release water from their tower via hydrants to turn the volume over. Chlorine looses potency if it sits too long. It has been rainy enough people are not watering as much plus the water restrictions NE Dallas Co. very strict. People I don't think were happy. Another co had 2 free watering days to turn the volume in their storage tanks.
Happy Birthday almost birthday sisters Sassy and Chevy.
Nettie - curling up under the boob bras. I have yet to find a bra I can stand for more than a few hours. I have had a bra fitting in the past - once at Dillards and once at Lane Bryant but both b4 BC. Both fitters wanted to put me in such a tight band size I was almost choking. I appreciate that most women want the vanity of smaller band size, bigger cup size but we women on here want demand comfort most. And to top it off I hate trying on bras. Only makes me hot/sweaty which is not pretty. Chevy - I agree. Bra is the 1st thing to come off but then I do have the odd person coming by and it's not a great look to answer the door in - tank top with droopy boobs. Thank goodness DH was home Sunday when neighbor came by offering hay. I walk quickly to mailbox and back lest a neighbor drive by.
Nettie - could some of your pain also be shoulder pain as well? Esp. your description yesterday sounded like it.
I get behind too and can read but not comment on everyone. DH was home
yest. and had movie playing on net. I finally gave up and shut my PC down.
Nothing would load/close, nothing. When he retires I think he'd better
get service with decent bandwidth. He says right now we have the fastest
service Verizon can provide with our lines/distance from switching
station. Our area is late comer to DSL - only about 4 years.Looks like our big rain went to Oklahoma. Bummer.

Happy birthday to you!

Thank you THIRD LOL, and LMG , and Patty
Nettie, I explained why the pain changed. Girl read your boxes on page 523. The rads table and the body mechanics(movement) getting on and off that hard table would be aggravating to a normal spine. Your spine isn't normal. Please, read the link on Spine-health.com (link on pg523.)--Adult Scoliosis. Nettie, You need to do your homework assignment. I did mine. Talk with your doc in August, BUT AGAIN. unless you study and know what the info says, you won't convince him of anything. Not fair, if I spend lots of thinking time on your problem and then you don't follow through on your end.
Yes things with back and shoulder girdle could be related to scarring from rads, BUT the logical first step is to evaluate the pre-existing condition. If you WOULD read the scoliosis page--(link page 523) you will understand.
Have you noticed I'm standing on my head to get you to read everythingwhat I've written on PAGE 523.
On the bra thingy, you assumed only MX ladies have bra problems. Not true. Plenty of problems for BMX ladies. Reconon or no recon for either. The gals mentoring the Bras thread have accumulated a great deal of info and guidance for members covering all things related to post mastectomy garments. A treasure trove of info.

I also believe you Sass lol I have sisters that are twins lol mom did not know till she was 5 weeks pregnant and saw a doctor cuz her back was hurting her, back in those days mom didn't follow up regularly her pregnancies no wonder I am the last of 10 lol after me mom move to separate rooms doctor said one more and you wont make it. Poor mom. She said in those days church ⛪ didn't allow her to take pills
Oh well happy birthday to you, your twin and Chevy too lol

Sas, I have read it all!!! Everything there is to read about Scoliosis!! My problem is that I never had consistent pain prior to BC treatments!! I’m sorry if you don’t think I’ve read, but I have!! Not sure if you remember me saying, but there is now a brace called Spinecor! I’ve also done research on this! It seems to offer relief to adults suffering from Scoliosis pain! My problem is that insurance won’t pay for it and I’m not at a financial point that I can pay out right! Let me rephrase, insurance covers but it’s out of network, so I have to pay the largest portion because of the out of network deductibles are very high!! And there is NOT an in network doctor for this particular brace!
Also, sorry if I missed something important in the reading! Maybe I’m not the brightest bulb on the lamp these days! I'm going back to find the link and read again!
And about the bra thing, I only had a lumpectomy which overall has NOT affected the way my bras fit! I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to bras that didn't roll and curl.

Is there an easy way to get back to page 523? Like I said, I'm not the brightest bulb in the lamp these days!
0 -
Nettie - go up to the URL at the top of the page. We are currently on pg 536. Just erase 536 in the URL and type in 523. Looks like this so you know which bar I mean. Make sure you are in read mode, not reply. Pg # doesn't show in reply mode.

Edited to add - after you change page number just hit enter.

Happy Birthday SAS. Don't let DBF forget. Ask him where he's taking you for your birthday today.
0 -
Okay, I believe you too..... WHAT is it that I believe? Happy Birthday Girl-friend! xoxoxoxo

Oh Thanks Wren, In a moment of weakness I said to DBF, if he forgot something. He was able to pull it out ,after I said he forgot same thing last year. Going out this weekend when DS comes home Thanks
Enerva, Thanks
I had a friend that parents left the church in the 60's after their 18th child. Only one set of twins--17 pregnancies WHEW.Talk about fertile. They all lived under the same roof. Great family. VERY organized. The church just didn't do well by your folks or my friends folks.Chevy Thank you

I'm the purple one.Happy birthday Sass. Are you and Susan identical twins? Is she near enough to celebrate together? Next year you guys should do something big!
0 -
Susan thanks, She's in Mich. near Saginaw, I'm in Florida. Neither of us will fly b/c her LE was caused by flying and I won't risk it.
But your right should think of doing something next year @ 65. Last big party was when we were 50. That was big--Canadaians, Calif, Idiaho, Ohio, Mi.Have fun with DD visit or was that Chevy
Smarrty, Thanks
JWOOOOOHOOOOOO we are missing you

Sas I believe u too, Chevy's the shady one, but I know her BD is tomorrow--I really feel bad that u don't live close to u'r sister. I could never move from my sister tho, I'd be lost, my cousin too.
Nettie I do remember when I had breast LOL and I was like a C cup and I wore glamorize bras, because the didn't roll up they had a larger band on the bottom and no wires and it did a good job holding up my lost girls. Nettie I don't understand 1/2 of what's going on here sometimes so never feel lke u'r not the brightest bulb cuz I think I'm the lowest watt u can have. I also have scoliosis after BC tho, never had a back problem, now I have big back problems but not cancer, from all this crap--so I know the pain u'r in and it isn't fun, I can stand for about a minute then my back feels like it crumbling and now I've started spasms, which I never had before, my eyes hurt when I have them LOL--I do my PT excercises but in the long run they haven't done anything for me, tht's why when I go out and "party{ when I come home I'm pretty much not moving for a couple of days, it's so bad. and that's why too I don't always come on the boards cuz if I get a comfortable position, I'm not moving as long as I can. I hope somehow u find relief with this mess.
OK I talked enough . I'll BBL0 -
sas !!!!!!!!
Happy birthday !!!!! 0 -
Hi everyone, Just checkin' in--How's everyone's day going.?
I've been a little busy and of course busy sounding stupid (shut up Chevy) A company emailed us about stuff and I really thought I was adding my own special thing to it for my guys to read, but instead I answered their email--certainly not meaning to. So my idiotic way of thinking has gone to another company. This is what I wrote----A banana has 50% of our DNA, so if my brain is mushy sometime, blame the banana---Now this is a true statement about the 50% but I don't think it belongs in a company's email--Oh well--we'll see.
It's in the 70's here now and maybe get some rain this week, but not going over 80, so tht's not so bad.
OK I'm going for now.

Cami seriously, A banana has 50% of our DNA. No cabana's? Aren't we shy of a couple percent from some monkey?
Great dinner out. Filet Mignon. Same place I ate filet after crani. Nice. Now a bottle of wine. To placate our dear wonderful Chevy, please, don't ask me a political question
Otherwise, I will pontificate most vociferously. On the other hand, you could amuse yourself, and see if I can pontificate upon whatever you might throw my way.DBF out to gamble, but not before I got his bill money due by the first. AH_HAH, I have him on the staright and crooked versus just the crooked.
SPOOKIE---you rascal, I got it, just a few minutes ago, didn't look earlier. Bodacious and bawdy LOL. Thanks!
Susan, Oh thank, you for the cake. Wish I did have one candle :0) then I'd be looking at 2065 as today's birthday

Yes I am serious about the banana====and Sas I'm glad u had a wonderful BD.

Hot d#!$ Sas! My hip/upper thighfeels so much better. Ibuprofen and stretches (for what you mentioned and thigh muscles) seemed to help. Glad you're having a good birthday.
Chevy, I sent a birthday wish a day too early? That's not like me. Usually I'm late
0 -
Yay Dutchy LOL was it in the call? I've started the stretches and bends again. Had to wait for Priuspain to calm down. &*^$@pain. Layers. Pain has layers. Do to much to correct, can create problems, do to little can create problems-------Walk and stretch------but as earlier stated, a wrong stretch can hurt for a VERY long time. Also, falling over dogs that change there patterns of sleepingareas, laying & behaviors , and holes covered by grass.
Be very careful about stretches---------the whole sports medicine community is changing the stretching thing.
But they haven;t talked about the simple stretches that you and I would do-----like getting up and out of bed ----being about our daily lives----all the news is about athletes. Well I was an athlete about 35-40 years ago.
GolfGirl 's an atlhlete
dbf home --Off for awhile maybe night------------Love you alll
