    Had the MRI this morning. Tech definitely verified there is a brain in there.

    Other than that, will have to wait til Radiologist evaluates.

    good luck with sleep sas....didn't take any help myself this eve and now prob to late..don't know..maybe I will take something......mind is racing still. Long day. My moms bday and we got together with my brother to, and he got sick..I think another kidney stone.  We had to drive him home cause he was in to much pain.. When we got him home he kept asking me questions about the pain and what was located in that area and and and...all I could think of was...DO I LOOK LIKE SAS.   Lol....but I said, do I look like a doctor....he said know, but u know this stuff.  Yeah..noooo.  So I googled anatomy...low left side. Told him there was nothing Important there..lol.  Hope he feels better tomorrow

    hey doc Susan hope your brother feels better, sounds like possibly descending colon, could be many things including constipation. 

    Typing left handed, right hand sore from today's iron infusion. Not much energy yet 2nd, hopefully soon. 

    Smaarty, great pic, very glad you told us about your underwear, cause I was like omg...the mods are going to send you to the big house for xrated pic :)

    Love your pic Enerva, and that cute owl thingy.

    Sleep well all...

    Phylissisfrustrated, so sorry that your MO is a weirdo. The RO is in charge of this trial, so hopefully he has a little more charisma. Do you know already what the trial tx is? I saw you changed your bio at the bottom, that had to be a hard thing to do. I think about that obsessively, because of my dx. Hang in there, we are with you all the way. I hope you get a chance to enjoy something in Houston, food, shopping, art, museums....

    Susan & all, thanks for asking & good wishes to DH. He is still in pain, but all drains are out, catheter, all procedures completed. They are ready to release him, maybe Friday. He is so weak, sleeps nonstop. We will see. His old Dr. Is a good friend, retired now. If we need someone to stop by for the med thing this weekend he will be around. Home health will come every day to flush & administer the antiboctics to his pic line. My DD is a social worker, knows what needs to happen. My guess is that he sleeps for a month. His knee got a new pad for his artificial joint, 2 surgeries there & 2 on his elbow. Both areas the staph infection settled in.

     So many things to comment on, now that I'm awake. 

    Congrats to Smarrty, you look fabulous. Food must taste amazing.

    Chevy & Sas, party over...next year bigger & more bling.

    Shout out to Tangadang, hope you are tolerating rads & getting that horrific chemo out of your system.

    Blessings, let us know about your scan, what a unexpected nightmare.

    Ok, it's 4:17 in the morning...I need to try to go back to sleep...

    Love & hugs to all.......

    Morning Glories! HIO that picture of that gal smoking a
    cigarette was so funny! Little old ladies are so cute.... with their perms,
    and she even has a crooked finger probably from Arthritis... But to make it to
    100! Now THAT is an accomplishment!

    Hell, to make it to 77 is an accomplishment for ME....
    Ha!

    Yes, Cammi has some sort of affiliation to a banana...I
    don't know what SHE'S been smoking, but...... oh wait..... yes I
    do.........

    Sorry about your DH.... So is a pic line like an IV
    delivering antibiotics? Hope he feels a little better every day.... is he
    home yet? Didn't you say Thursday, yesterday? He wasn't at my party, so he
    must still be locked up.

    Oh that's right Peppermint... A person could get sick
    hanging around those places!

    So what's this LittleGardens? You are down in the dumps?
    You DON'T rain on our parades.... we don't have those... so don't worry about
    stuff you say here...

    At LEAST you have good news in the cancer department! You
    can tackle ANYthing that comes along... I'll go with you for that Dexa
    scan... just waiting for the Hospital place to get the right code from the
    referral dinks at my Docs office...

    That won't help your back pain though.

    Is it your disks? So you mean you have Sciatica down
    your left leg? I had 2 ruptured disks, the Ls4 & 5... But I finally had to
    have that fixed about 25 years ago, and it all went away. But my left leg was
    really affected... and the pain had me taking 600 mg of Ibuprofen every 4
    hours.... I'm sorry you are hurting! So what can you do about
    it?

    WTH is SHE talking about? I mean Phylliwiththecure is all
    talking again! She might have a point though HIO! So YOU'RE the one who
    traveled to that TRIAL! Okay, gotcha! You say it's that "clinical" trial?
    And not that OTHER trial you are connected with????

    I did a study/trial once, I mean 1/2 way.... I totally
    flunked... It was some sort of Asthma study with pills... Well I got so damn
    sick with Asthma I had to quit! 1/2 way into it, and I'm ASSUMING here that I
    got the pill that did NOTHING...

    They were miffed that I had to stop... I was pissed that
    I got sick! I had been FINE until my Allergist suggested the clinical
    trial.

    So good luck with yours... See what's it's like..... On
    your trip BACK Thelma, you could find a Louise, and have more fun!

    Cammi, don't even ask her what "Swyping" is.... I don't
    know, so we just act like we do.

    Oh HAPPY BIRTHDAY ENERVAIN8DAYS!!!! And such a cute
    owl! Yes, hang it in your car! But don't come here to Denver in your car! I
    was stopped for not pulling over into "the furthest lane away from a parked
    police cruiser, with his flashers on!?" I just slowed down, and drove past
    him, as he was parked on the side! So he pulled us over, and told me all about
    this new bogus law that was passed that I was supposed to pull CLEAR over when
    ever we saw flashing lights, stopped or not!

    BUT since he knew I didn't have a clue what he was talking
    about, he only gave me a ticket for this little CRYSTAL I had hanging from my
    rear-view mirror! That AH! I mean here I am, old and everything, and I guess I
    needed a ticket for SOMEthing, so it was that crystal.... About as big as a
    little marble!

    So just beware....:)

    Spookie.... It's just that DD and oldest Grand-son have
    been at "odds" lately.... But they both called yesterday, and all "seems"
    fine... I'll plan at LEAST a lunch with you guys, okay? I'll talk to her when
    she comes here next month...

    Sass, I'm not sure of a date yet... but we get there at
    night on the 24th, and leave the next Tues. afternoon the 30th..... So I'll see
    what the family has planned...

    See? SailingWind.... Cammi just talks.... We can't
    understand 1/2 of what she says, but we don't care....

    Oh NoOOOOOoooooooo! You are rubbing off on little Joey!
    He is beginning to sound like you! We must intervene. We must have an
    intervention before this gets too far along.

    Now if I Googled that, about the Banana thing, would they
    all just point their fingers at me and laugh? You BET they would!

    So WHAT do you do? Set the alarm to wake up just to take
    your pain meds? YOU said it, I didn't! The point is, I think, that if you
    are sleeping, you don't need the meds? So I just fixed that notion of
    yours.

    SusieQ.... YES.... I loved my Penguin/Owl thing.... yes I
    did! Don't pay attention to miss SmartyPants...

    Oh? The drive-up bitch? Just tell her "Yes, thank-you, I
    am the Secret Service and I am checking up on this establishment.... ummmmm we
    had reports of mis-doings!"

    See what she says THEN! And just drive through there
    randomly every day... Don't order anything.... Just drive up and say "just
    checking" and speed off!

    Okay, your Brother needs "fixin" now? Is he getting some
    sort of help, like from somebody that KNOWS something? Ah MAN! I think he
    needs help!

    Cammi.... so she SAYS she did that from memory.... she
    probably takes notes...

    Blessings! CONGRAGULATIONS on having a brain! We KNEW
    you could do it. Let me know what they say.... yes, we BOTH need
    "evaluated."

    Moning Littlepaws! WHAT were you doing up at 2 a/m?
    Are you okay?

    Okay.... gotta go do SOMEthing! xoxooxo

    morning owlettes :). Hugs to all

  • good morning ladies.

    morning, 

    Chevy Holly, if you see all the crap I got on the mirror in my car ha ha ha I had no idea I could get a ticket, lol I will remove some of the stuff but I am planning on getting my little owl in there lol 

  • gardengumby
    gardengumby Posts: 4,860

    pooh... Just lost my post.

    All I know about chickens is how to cook 'em.

    Chevy, I don't know what sciatica is.  I do have a herniated disk which could be the sourc e of the pain, but I've had it for a long while and this pain s relatively new. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to nsaids so have limited pain relief options.

    But today I'm on the boat with hubby. He is fishing I is relaxing. S'nice.

    sciatica?  I think this is a nerve which run from the hip down the legs

    That is where my bro had c. :(

    he had cancer on his hip?  That sounds terrible!

  • Enerva
    Enerva Posts: 2,985

    yes, he past away last June, before he got sick I never new about that nerve either. But I can tell you it was very painful and that nerve affects the entire leg. :( 

    My bro lasted 4 months after dx. 

  • gardengumby
    gardengumby Posts: 4,860

    so sorry, enerva.  

    Whatever I've got going on is very painful and sometimes my leg just collapses under me.  It's worse if I walk a lot. I've not gone to the doctor about it because thru really like this replacement stuff, and I don't want yo deal with that....

  • Chevyboy
    Chevyboy Posts: 10,258

    Yes.... my disks had ruptured, and that "stuff" had coagulated and was pressing on my sciatic nerve....  It hurt all the way down my leg into my foot...  So it HAD to be fixed.  But it worked out well!  

    Sorry about your Brother  Enerva....  My problem just started when I twisted my back, and I heard a "pop"....  from then on, it was downhill..... Just had to get it fixed.  They didn't put a rod in, the neurologist said it would fuse together on it's own.... and he must have been right.  

  • Enerva
    Enerva Posts: 2,985

    Gardeng, please don't be scare of what I said I don't think you have c there in fact my bro s cancer was in the hip, I mean in the bone right beside that nerve so it cuz the nerve to hurt. Don't think you have such thing. I know that if that nerve is hurting you there is treatments for it ok I am so sorry I don't want to suggest anything I only wanted you to know what that nerve is. Try to get help cause I know how painful it was for my brother I honestly know it's so painful and your leg does gives up at times. But do not think you got c. Please it must be just the nerve.

    Hi Ladies---

    OK Chevy look it up about the bananas--IT'S TRUE--I don't get it but it's true.

    GG as I said there are so many things going on in backs--mine lower discs are , I can't think of the words but they are like disintegrating along with the lower vertebrae so it can go all over and the pain is relentless, and no I don't set up my alarm like some people think--it's the pain that wakes me, sometimes it's in a dream that I'm in so much pain, then I wake up and find it's true. Damn dreams. And that's how I fall easily not cuz I'm doing pole dancing like some, but my one leg and back just give out so I go down.

    Phylointhedust--I really hope they will help u, but if this could be done where u live that is just stupid having u drive ll that way just to approve u. Doesn't make sense, but then again what does.....

    Hole u have to much on u'r mind and today is Friday and I hope u'r DH comes home in a little better state---How do u catch something like that in u'r elbow and knee? It's strange to me.

    Enerva how sad for u and u'r family--I just hate cancer like sll of us do.

    OK I have some work to do.

    Smarrtieeeeeeeeeeeyou do look GREAT IN CLOTHES!!!.............but your description of how the girls feel, makes sense why you want to change. Glad you clarified on the Uhhums... first reaction was OhMY she forgot something, almost fell out of bed.  LOLOLOLOLO.

    Susieque  continuing laughing---pharm clerk "you've been here allot"--REALLY--stupid person. Oh and the anatomy thingy...not much in that area. owwwwhh it hurts so much.....by now DB has probably found out what body part caused enough pain to double him over. There's enough there to cause aaaaaaaaaaalllllll kinds of trouble.

    Golfgirl hugs for you and DH. Yay  DS is a social worker--she will keep them all straight. Think Fentanyl patch with oxy for breakthrough.

    Blessings glad you found your brain. 

    2pm have to get ready to meet Ds new GF. Didn't plan this well, nothing ready to wear.

    Found this this morning, you will smile all the way through :)

    Gumby, better to have it checked out. Lots of things do better with an early diagnosis. LOTS. Waiting too long sometimes causes much more damage. Then sometimes it makes it to late to fix. Take a deep breath , pick up the phone and make an appointment  We can deal better with the known than the unknown :)

  • gardengumby
    gardengumby Posts: 4,860

    enerva, I'm so sorry if I implied that I was worried it was cancer in my hip. I'm really not concerned about that. I'm just sick of the pain. Not sure yet what i will do about it other than acupuncture and massage.  Those give me some relief now. When I start on Medicare, though they will no longer be covered, so something will have to change somewhere.
