  • Hi Paw! Watching news on TV, they're showing rain and lightning in our county. Anything like that in your area? Just a bit cooler today (truck read 83*), a little overcast and very humid here. Feeling any better this week on your break?

    Wheeptmom is right behind my choices lol she has helped me a lot. My problem is my ps not wanting to even try what I tell them I want.  Hopefully this time we get it right.

    Owlettes - thanks for all the entertaining stories and pics.... I am just hanging out waiting for my brain to return. It's out there somewhere, wandering around with my memory and my balance.

    DH ran an errand today around 3 p.m.  -  he said it would take about half an hour. I was watching something stupid on TV. At 5 p.m. he walked into the living room to see what I wanted for dinner. 

    I asked him where he had been all that time, and he said "I got home at 3:30, walked right by you and said hi, and we talked about what I bought! I've been in the den all afternoon."

    DUHHHHH... don't remember a bit of that.

    On a positive note, I DID get dressed today, and since it wasn't too hot after dinner, we did go out and trim back plants in the yard.  HappyNow I'm covered with crepe myrtle gunk and off to the shower to wash it off. No exotic smells for me... I use Aveeno Baby wash. Very comforting, gentle scent.

    And Chevy? That thing you were describing is a ganglion cyst. It's a big honkin' lump on your wrist, and yes - in the olden days, they used to get rid of them by whacking them with the Family Bible (probably because it was the biggest book in the house.) My doc said that was really barbaric. I had one the size of a walnut on my right wrist, and several times they drained it with a HUGE needle. What came out looked like grape jelly. Finally, I had to have it surgically removed, and now have a big curving scar on that wrist.

    Blessing I am sorry your memory is not improving yet, I think it should soon.

    Able nights ago something happened I took a sleeping pill cuz i needed to really sleep and then in the morning I saw two msg I sent to my sister on line which I had not memory of and I changed my picture from my bbm profile and I had not memory of doing so. Now I am scare of the pill so I am just staring at my ceiling lol

    Very scary when we say or do things but have no memory of it at all :(

    well yuck. It's midnight, my aches have pain, Spookie and I are hot and can't sleep. Nothing like a hot 7 # dog to keep you up! I thought she had to pee. Nope, so I will. 

    Nite all, I hope. 

  • Enerva, hope you're getting some good quality rest too.

    Spookiesmom, does she have to sleep so close to you tonight? Glad she got you up to pee, what a good dog!

    Oh I loved those pics and the funny ones really funny.

    Thanks for the free lemonade tip after the day is over. LOL

    Blessings u have the strangest thing going on, I know we all forget things, well most of us do, but u'r is over the top. I hope it starts healing very soon.

    I woke up and didn't quite make it to the bathroom, another D attack now I'm awake--I have a feeling I'm not done. Dammit. I was sleeping so nice.

    BTW did anyone get bit by any mesquitos (sp) this year? So far I haven't, it's been no bites since all this started I guess our blood isn't for them--so that's a plus.

    Weather report from IL HOT for a while. Now that school has started.

    enerva, I also just started taking sleeping pills. I take all electronic communicative devices away from me..lol. Same thing happens. But I need my sleep..and it works. If they aren't in arms reach I don't go  for them..lol. After about a week or so, I remember everything again...so I think it is a temporary thing, while the brain is trying to adjust you shutting it down for sleep, good luck in your attempts :)

    Morning gals!

    2222222222nd, I tried the link just now, and it went
    through.... sometimes a certain browser, or something won't let us in, but it's
    still there... She was born without any legs, but her story is really
    inspiring....

    I also sent the "dyslexia" cartoon to my Daughters! .....

    Good for you Enerva! You just go whip those boys into
    shape....

    Enerva.... YES! He was out back the other day! Trying to
    break into the Coop, and all the "girls" were just swooning! Ha, ha! I think
    he is some sort of Pheasant?

    I KNOW he is a "HE" because of how colorful he is...
    Okay, I googled red-breasted pheasant, and that's what he is!
    Amazing!

    Blesssings LilDarlin'...... YES! SEE? You remembered
    something! Damn! I think your little brain is going to take a long time to
    recover.... I will be your Mentor!

    I will be your shining light, for which you can strive
    for........

    Now Cammi, just don't say a word... for a
    minute!

    See, what your Husband said, may NoT be what really
    happened.... at least to you anyway... So he said something, of which you have
    no recollection, so to YOU anyway it didn't happen! TELL him that. So if you
    can't remember, then it didn't happen!

    Tell him this..... "Okay, remember the other night when
    you were feeling so Johnny Dep with me? And you threw me on the bed, and spent
    4 hours showing us that one night of bliss & passion?"

    So he will look surprised, and amazed.... to which you
    reply.... "Do you remember THAT?"

    And no, of course he doesn't! Same thing..... HE
    remembers things, and YOU remember different things...... this is going to take
    some work..... who KNOWS wth your brain is doing.... but mine was on vacation
    periodically for YEARS!

    Okay.... now you can talk Cammi.....

    HIHO....! What IS this "Hornitos".... fits right in with
    Blessings Husband, right? Is it like Amaretto.... oh wait....I'll look THAT up
    too! OMG! Something NEW to try! What's it taste like
    Cammi?

    OH THE SPOOKIE'S ARE UP! YAAAAAaaaaaaay!
    At least they were! He only weigh's 7 pounds? I thought "he" was much
    larger than that, and that SHE was a he? Okay.... just quit bothering that
    dog when she wants to slelep!

    Morning miss Cams! No! No mosquito bites! We don't have
    them here at my house. We have huge ants though! Never saw them until this
    year....! We also have Squirrels, mice and Crows, and a million little
    Sparrows... no fleas, ticks or mosquitos....

    I just have Butterflies, Lady-bugs and bees in my
    gardens.... They must eat the mosquitos....

    Hi Susan & everyone else.... You must all be
    sleeping, because you didn't post!

    morning Chevy, I've been up since 4! Hate that. Still working on the new PC. So far only 1 software is working. Some are almost working. Still have a few more to out on. 

    So now it's official, 35 lbs. I'm going to need to buy new underware soon, then I'm done shopping.

    Enerva, when is your sx next week? Hope you have some help lined up. I remember how sick you were last time.  I'm seeing another ps next week, he's outside of my ins, so maybe he'll be able to tell me something. If he can fix them, then I'll be changing my health ins during open enrollment. What's Niffy is I found out that I can go back to the old ins within 60 days of getting Medicare in February. 

    Susan, how'd you do on this round? 

    Phylissinhouston, how's is your tx going?

    Blessings, I saw on CNN web that certain meds can mess with your memory. Statins was one. Lipitor, etc. 

    yes, Spookie HAS to sleep with me, plastered against my back or neck. We were both hot last night, couldn't get comfy. 

    And she is a GURL!!!! Almost all her stuff is pink!!!!!

  • good morning ladies.  Still to sick to remember what everyone said and respond but def glad to read what is going on with everyone.  

    Hope y'all have a great day.

Wasn't drinking in hospital, than slept the whole next day...hard to hydrate that way...lol...so they wanted me to come in 2 days after chemo this time to hydrate...after I got done laughing at them....they said ok, we will give you this round to see if you can do it better. Game on !!  Still was in bed for a day and a half, but was back to jogging yesterday. So not to bad. Can't really drive or function normally for about five days...then I'm ok. Gonna get worse, but for now I can still do a lot. Cut my schedule way down. Just working about two weeks out of the month. Only got three more chemos left, so I want to have more fun days than work days over these next two years......i so love having fun SillyHeart

    OMD. I remember when DD moved into dorm 1st year. Only an hour away, I thought I was going to DIE!!!! I missed her so much!!!!

    Then one day, I didn't. And realized I liked the peace and quiet. And realized that I had to trust that she was ok, and I couldn't worry.  

    And if the cops weren't knocking or calling, she was ok. And that worked for me.

    Dutch...sorry I missed you :(.  Hugs your way...any plans for changing room around ? My daughter wouldn't let me...lol

  • Dutch. Sounds painful.  (((Hugs)))). Is the college close ?  Even so, girls will be plenty busy as freshman on campus.  You said youngest. Are their others that live super close ?  Hope so.  Hope you two are enjoying this last week: staying  up late laughing, rollerblading lol whatever makes you guys laugh.  Enjoy.

    My daughter will go to college in our hometown bit is staying in the dorms this year.  So I will keep her room the same only it may be cleaner.  

    Work is getting me down.  It's not awful.  Maybe I'm overly sensitive but I feel like I'm annoying people.  I'm trying not to cry.  I'm glad I don't work today.
