Good morning all!! I'm still lurking around, haven't had much to contribute lately, but love reading all the chatter on here! Seems like most are doing pretty good these days.
Just a little something that made me laugh:

OMG! He's a peeper, eh? Just get out your little .22, and shoot it out.... He won't even notice. A bird watcher my a$$....! Did you hear that Spookie?
Cammi..... a bird watcher is someone who thinks they are one with nature.... they use that excuse to take pictures of "birds" sometimes.... they can set up camera's and use that as an excuse. You have to watch out for them....
Sassy, get a big old honkin' camera, with a telephoto lens, and aim it right at his house! Attach a big red blinking light.... and maybe even a motion activated siren! WE'll show HIM!
Smarty, I LOVE our laminate floors! MY DD and I did the bedroom, but called in someone else to do the living/dining room! You will love them. We have an area rug, like an outdoor carpet under the diningroom table & chairs.... That's so the chair wheels don't take off and slide you right out the door!

Chevy very good idea thank you
I actually asked him if he was using the camera. His statement said no. His body language read--GUILTY.Smarrty, should be good timing
Hurricane season is over and the weather is usually beautiful with reduced humidity A bit like April. April is the most consistant and the first two weeks of May. Stunning time. Last of May, then June through August, can be iffy---hot, humid, and wet. September and October Hot and humid. It's the two months that we really watch for blows. Dec and Jan unpredictable with cold and damp, or nice. Last year we had to wear long pants and socks for weeks. February and March, waiting for April. There's the weather report 0 -
What's wrong with my as$ besides being too big Chevy?
Smaarty, I have laminate all over my house too! You will love it!!
Squalls out on the Gulf Stream, big storm comin soon. Jimmy Buffett. Yep, by Nov you can have your Cheeseburger in Paradise, and not worry, too much!
Sas may be easier just plant bushes. Keep Dini in too!

Did I insinuate your adouble-s was..... um......large? I didn't mean to.... Yes I did! If I can have one, so can you.
I went to the tax place! So far, a huge weight has been lifted off my little brain! SHE said they were filled out wrong, and therefore that huge mistake..... She is going to go through them, and call me to see if past years will get us more money back even! I will just be thankful she gets this straightened out! I go back next Monday, to sign, etc.
But MAN, my stomach can't take that much stress! Oh wait! I have to go find some of my "shorter" slacks..... All of you are BRATS!

Chevy, This really nice lady named Birdlady, Played with me all day yesterday on the Constipation thread. We were researching together. I was having a blast. Today she won't come out and play. What do I do? Do you think if I invite her here. That will help? Sounds good . Thanks for the advice
Hi Nettie

Hi ladiesI haven't been around much, too much going on and to be honest as much as I love it here, it leaves me emotionally drained at times. I guess I needed a break or something. Now I feel guilty coming with a question...but here goes. Tell me to go away if you want
I had a CT scan Friday on my chest. I have never had anything resolved really since my last infection scare that turned out to not be an infection. Last I had heard from the PS that the redness was a result of the radiation "spilling over" to the other side a little.
Well, as of a week ago Friday I noticed pain again in my chest. This time it was like in my sternum area, but still more toward the left. The pain was bad and in addition to that I noticed a raised up area on my chest that wasn' there before. *sigh*
I got the scan Friday and still haven't heard shit back from the MO. I called this morning and let a vm...still no call. I'm sooooo fed up with these doctors. Should I assume no news is good news? I know something is going on, otherwise why the raised area on my chest???
Is it normal to have to wait this long on a freaking scan report that was supposed to be back in the same afternoon??

Tang. Some docs are just rude. You can go to facility that owns the CT machine and ask for a copy of the results. All records are in the MEDical Record Department . They will have you sign a release. You need a picture ID. I usually call ahead and ask them to check their record to make sure it's signed before I drive in. Some tend to always add they can give the results so say"Hi I' know you can't give me the results, but can you check to see if it's signed by the radiologist yet . Saves me a drive in when it's not ready" Enough info to work with
Some hospitals have satelite facilities, and may or may not have a mechanism at the satelite facility to pick up records. You may have to go to the main hospital.
That's also,why you want to call ahead
Some have internet portals. There really nice.
Tang don't worry we love you sweetie. I took a break for a couple of weeks too. Sometimes we just need a break from everything. Don't question about popping back in HUGE HUGS sassy

Thanks sassy...I'm just wondering if I'm being unreasonable for expecting an answer. It seems like it is long enough, but who knows.0 -
Tang, most places have a rule that all dx test have to be read in 24 hrs' Varies. But I almost always have my tests in <36 hours.
Labs are different when they are send outs.

The question you have to ask yourself is. If it identifies something questionable or it states a malignancy is seen, are you prepared to read that by yourself. ?

No I'm not ready for that at all...I just left a message again for the doctor to please call me. I was telling myself earlier that "no news is good news". But now I'm thinking maybe they haven't called because MO is busy and wants to the time to talk to me. IDK, I just hate this shit.Tech told me Friday morning at scan that reports are back by that afternoon, so I'd hear either Friday or today. After the scan I told me to wait there, he wanted to know if doctor wanted to see me before I left. That scared the shit out of me, but she wasnt even there.
Sometimes I just want to pretend that none of this ever happened.

Pages to read again. Last week just got too much for me with the death of my friend's daughter. Daughter was 24. It really impacted and I have some appraisals to finish before Friday because we are off to Australia on Saturday.
Had MRI yesterday and will get results tomorrow.
I am so tired this morning but never mind. Might improve once I have had coffee.

Tang, If the doc doesn't call and you want to make a point of the fact. Call the answering service and tell them he said she'd call you today. OR if that doesn't strike your fancy , then tomorrow it may be. Hugs
Aly, sorry again about your friends daughter. There's nothing to say except I'm sorry. It sucks. HUGS . Have a great time in Australia! Are you going to see Chrissy? IF so you hug each other and pretend it's me hugging you BOTH.

tang sending you hugs, it's terrible to be waiting
on results hang in there, fingers crossed all ok0 -
Tang, It's probably something stupid like the doc who was supposed to read the results left early on Friday. But you should hear by end of day today. I know it's impossible to keep your mind off dire things, but do your best. Hugs.

Sorry, new phone huge picture. Been busy hiking, walking, and riding. My scooter isn't as impressive as Enerva's bike but it's fun. I had a 3 month on appointment and I seem to check out ok.

Heard back from the MO, she was consulting with PS about my scan that was the reaosn for the delay. I have soft tissue inflammation and they don't know why. Her words, we've never seen this before. How comforting....She said that they are waiting to get scans from my hospital stay in June to compare, but I know that this is larger than it was in June. She then made mention of a possible "open biopsy", not sure what that is. I'm freaking out, mostly because in her words she can't rule out cancer. MO said that she hasn't seen it present like this before, but it can't be ruled out. She told me that it is very unusual to have this inflammation after mx, but that it could be because of my infections. She said the length of inflammation is about 3.8 mm.
I'm thinking of getting a 2nd opinion about all of this crap. My anxiety is really high right now and I'm so devastated that this has happened on my non-cancer side. I've had all I can take and I'm tired of putting my family thru this roller coaster too.
Thanks for listening.

Crap Tang, more waiting and more worrying. It has to be named to be treated. Not likely cancer but can't be ruled out with the info they have so far. So they need more info. Do something nice for yourself and remember to breath. You're due for some good news.

tang, so sorry to hear of the latest troubles. Hang in there girl. It's nice to hear from you, everyone understands about taking a break. No sweat. Hopefully you'll get some answers soon. Many hugs your way )))))

Tang as Dutchy said remember to deep breathe. One day at a time, one meeting at a time. We live in the moment.That moment may seem crushing. Then we get to the next. Been there so many times. I've learned the deep breath. I've learned the thought. I've learned, we can do it through so many hard things.
I've felt the hollowness, the despair. I have learned we CAN go on. One more step, it's hard. There is a reason to hold on to every life minute. B/c we never know what the next life minute may give us.
Hang on. Believe.

Tangadang......not fair, so sorry. I have no medical advice but hope they do whatever needs to be done quickly, & give you some answers. Your anxiety is certainly understandable. Has your daughter started school ?
Dutchie, Sharon... great photo....You look young, happy & carefree.

Oh Crap Tangeroonie! We don't like to hear what is going on with one of our own. I mean we don't like to worry with you, but of course we will.
So can you call someone back and say like WTH? And tell them you would like some answers, and not next week! Can they just say "okay, come in, let's get this team working on this, and see what is wrong..... I mean worrying drives us all nuts.
You want me and Cammi to come out there and get those Docs straightened out? Sass could drive us.... wait.... WHERE do you live? Oh, Okay Texas.... Spookie could supply us all with drinks and snacks. We could camp out by your bedside until we get some answers.
Don't worry Kiddo.... See? All the gals are pulling for you.... Like the Sass said, just take it easy until you get some answers instead of all this "It could be's"....!
Like me and that Tax "issue".... DAMN! I fretted for 2 weeks, just wondering WTH happened, and now it looks like it was some sort of CF, and the gal said no problem, and she is going to straighten it out..... Okay.... you and I can worry together....Damn people.

Chevy, I'd love for ya'll to come down here and put these people right!!My pockets are big so there is room for everyone. Thanks ya'll.
I'm worried about dh, he seemed so defeated last night. He's angry at God and everything else that things just keep happening. I know I can't fix him, but I want to.
anyway, love and kisses ya'll. I hope to talk to my PS today. Thinking of getting a 2nd opinion too, I feel like I'm "cheating" on my docs though lol.
