Tang! Take care of that DH of yours! It's like when my Husband is really down about whatever, I just try and pay attention to HIM, and then I feel better also. Do everything you can for yourself, and if you have to wait to do something, just get it off of your mind, and think about it when the time comes.
It's just hard to carry so many worries on our shoulders.... Just stress over one thing at a time....
Okay Enerva.... where does the plane come in? Good God where do you have to GO to get this done? Let us know if/when you ever find your way BACK!

hi ladies I am behind I will go back to read today's post but wanted to share how today went. I saw my genius ps lol so he took my stichts out and said he see everything ok. I asked him if he encountered many problems when he opened me up since the change in sensors are mayor now. He then said nop nothing irregular, he said he realesed the internal contraction and just replaced the implants with the better fit and that was it. So now I am not sure I feel like it all had to do with the wrong implants? I am just glad he fix it.I will request my surgical records in order to check if any specific is mentioned. I am glad it's all over now.
Hope you are all asleep. It's 12:28 now
Good night

Hello Lovely Ladies!
I got about half way through all the backlog, then realized that I will never catch up with everyone.
my brain isnt big enough! Sorry I have been so out of the loop. So much has been happening and I have been on a roller coaster of feelings for what feels like forever.Pls forgive me for not going back through everything.
I hope everyone is doing all right.
Enerva- glad you are feeling better
Tang- in your pocket with everyone else.
LE is being terrible, I am so ready for cooler weather. I think it really aggravates it. And when that acts up, the nerves in my chest start firing and I feel like I've been hooked up to a car battery. Anyone else get that?
My diet/exercise is still going, but slower since the flare. I have not really seen any results either. I seriously cut about 90% of my sugar intake, and nothing much has changed. I think the tamoxifen is really throwing a wrench in things. I bought a dress to wear to the wedding in England in November. If i id not eat a single thing till the day we fly out, and worked out 5 hrs a day, I still would not make it. I just dont know why it is so hard. It just isnt moving no matter how much i do.
I did start a flamenco dance class this week. Very excited about it. I lived in Spain when I was a kid and wanted to learn so bad then, but we could not afford it. A friend of mine plays guitar with some of the people that play at a Spanish restaurant in Austin, and told me about it. I am really excited to learn. It is very physically taxing, but I love it so far.
My friend is doing really well. Got all of his staple and stitches out, and his bones are healing nicely. Still has to watch out for infection/rejection, but his surgeons are confident that he will do great.
I'm off to sleep.
you all- jeni

Good Morning gals! Hi JWow! Good to see you posting again.... And what's this about you being on tamoxifen? I think taking any drug like that will screw up our natural endocrine system, and metabolism workings. SEE? I sound like I know what I am talking about..... But you know what I mean.
It probably inhibits your regular set of regulators that determine weight gain? or loss! So just be aware of what you are eating, and how much you are doing. Taking any kind of dance classes sounds fun....
Okay, tell me again.... WHAT friend, and what stitches and bones....? What happened to him? Was it something you DID to him? (just kidding)....
Enerva.... glad things are looking good again! Won't be long, and you'll be up and running all over hell on that bike of yours! You GO girl! Ride with the Wind!
That tax thing is almost straightened out... We go this morning to sign some papers, and mail it in again.... There were mistakes made, by a FEW people, and I don't think I'm going to be taking my taxes to AARP anymore.... I've been doing that for YEARS, but not anymore. So we don't have to think about owing no $7000 again! MAN, what a screw-up!
Guess you are all sleeping...... that's good, cept' I don't have anyone to talk to!

morning Chevy, glad your tax thing was taken care of, I'm sure thats a big relief.
I'm sure almost everyone is awake by now. So have a good day if possible. DD is coming over to do my hair, then I won't look like an old lady! It helps a little.

hahah Chev- I can always count on you to make me smile!
whoa! your tax mess sounds crazy! I hope it all gets worked out.
I was gone for a bit as I was trying to do what I could for a really good friend get hit head on by a truck- on his motorcycle. He is in Ohio, and I was helping set up some fundraising and collecting donations for a few benefits they are having up there. Shattered his heel, broke all 3 bones in his leg (7 places total), his forearm bones broke and left his body- (they still can't find them)- so he got an internal prosthesis put in and so far so good with it all. No organ or brain damage, so he was really pretty lucky. Guy drifted into his lane too close for him to react. It could have been so much worse. But, he is a tattoo artist and owns his own shop, so not working for several months = he could lose everything. They guy that hit him had minimal insurance and owns nothing, so he will not really see much help there.
So- everyone make sure you watch the road when you are driving!

Hi there ZJ! welcome to the worst club ever
it is filled with amazing people though. I see you are on the good ol AC. Definitely not the friend of sleep.Are you feeling okay otherwise?
0 -
I am grateful for feeling pretty good. A/C was Monday. I took the neulasta shot last night and so far no bone pain today. This is the second night. Looking forward I will start Herceptin for 12 months, Perjeta for 6, Taxol for 12 weeks and radiation. It seems like a very high mountain to climb right now and a very long journey. I will probably not finish the last Herceptin until next December. I am 71 and in pretty good health but spending a year on the cancer planet again is not pleasant to think about. (I was treated for a different cancer in '08 but the treatment was only for 6 weeks of chemo and rads.)

Glad to hear you are feeling okay, but sorry you are having to go through cancer treatment again. It does seem like forever when you are in treatment, but I hope it passes quickly for you. AC and i got along better than me and Taxol (as I was allergic.) Just remember to keep yourself super hydrated and rest as much as you need.

Thanks for the good advice. I am going to try to take things one day at a time and not project to far into the future. On the bright side we are expecting a little great granddaughter around Christmas time. That is something to cheer things up. Nice to meet you and hope to talk again. I am going to take your advice and try to get some rest

Welcome zj--I'm sorry u have so much to go thru again--but we're here to help in any way we can--this is a nice group to share with.
Mea culpa---speling may be wrong, after all I can't spell in English let alone Latin (Chevy) I haven't been her for a little bit.
Tang I'm so sorry all this is happening, I hate when Drs. say never saw this before--I usually ask to see their drivers license then, cuz it's crazy---it just better work out OK. We're all with you.
Jwow u'r back (and front) are here and I'm glad u'r friend is better what a horrible accident.
And all the furbabies, AWWWW so cute too.
One of my girlfriends called and she's going to pick me up today for lunch, we're just going to my other GF's house. these are my HS friends, Except they look wonderful still so I hate them.
Well Chevy all that worrying for nothing--see I told u--And u were going to try to pick up extra shifts in Stripperland--oops was that a secret. U wouldn't have made much anyway. So I thought they got u from u'r tips from the club over the last 25 yrs. But then I thought I don't think she made that much.
OH OH I almost lot this post so I'd better submit it.

Morning gals! Hope you can see these pictures....! So funny.... One of them is about a Grandma.... but I can't relate....
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/al-aska-sh...
JWOW.... I'm so glad you were awake to talk to zlemop or something.... Maybe her name is Zebra... hope you come back soon! We can help you out... We don't know a THING about medical stuff, but we can make you smile sometimes.
I had a Lumpectomy too, but it was so long ago, I've almost forgotten about it....
Cammi and I are the strippers on this thread.... more or less.... Mostly less now, because we are getting "up there".... And everything we say makes no sense whatsoever.
Spookers.... Yes, I am almost a night owl! I stayed up until about 8! Watched stuff, but didn't want to hear or see what was going on in the world, so I watched mindless stuff.
Hence...... nothing new here.
It's supposed to SNOW here, maybe tomorrow or night? That's assuming they know what they are talking about! And get down to 31????? OMG that is electric blanket weather...!!!!

MORNING OWLETTES, Sunny and dry
here in paradise Jwoo so happy to see you. Your friend is doing better YAY. Awful accident. Sounds like he had great docs. I know it a superfluous question. Did they life flight him? What level trauma center was he in? What hospital? Did they have one or two orthopedic teams? Did they have an Cardiothoracic surgeon too? What community was his accident in? Ohio was my old stomping grounds. Was very involved in trauma and EMS. That's why the questions. You can ignore if you want.
A break is taken for a reason
sometimes it's better not to catch up And jump in on the page you return too.:)Tang Hugging
Sounds like they are moving fast? One day at a time. Cami hope the stripper club was fun
Chevy YAY taxes are done. I have a fear that the "letter" will come and say the same thing. Glad yours are fixed
I worry about next year b/c of the car thing. Hope it doesn't trip an audit. Chevy, new ear problem. It's a" now what thingy"---sound is hurting my ears. Any explanation? Never heard of such a thing. Just standard noise. Nothing blaring.Z- welcome, insomnia sucks big time, so does all the rest of BC. I put a bunch of links in the topic box. Retrospectively, I think the reality for sleep, is to get time and distance from all the all the BC stuff and drugs. When I was taking AI's the only thing that worked for me was sleep when I could. Sometimes that was much of the day and just accept being up at night. I took Ativan and melatonin too. But now off Ai's & Ativan. Still take melatonin sometimes. I just kind of go with the flow and work with the whatever. If you need a bed day take
Off to check housekeeping threads. Have a day that doesn't interfere with you

I'll tell you Sassy, when the little girls next door do their little girl scream thing, it just sends me through the roof! Not to mention when I am in a store, and that shrill, high sound just pierces my ears. I thought it was because of my hearing aids... but YOU have it too?
If I ever have to have my hearing "tested" I would go to Costco, because they do it free.... SURE, they want you to buy their hearing aids, but you don't have to.... A regular ENT will charge you for the test.... It is more extensive, but the end result is the same.
Your Doctor might be able to tell you what is going on, or have you googled it? Maybe allergies, like mold or something? God only knows, you guys don't have WEEDS there, but other stuff can be the problem. Have you tried treating that with Claritin? What about trying Debrox or something.... even plain old olive-oil..... just a couple drops in your ears... it CAN'T hurt.... just do these things before you go in..... I've even flushed out my ears with a water-pik, but that is for any wax, or debris, or spiders you have in there.
It's probably in your "inner-ear" anyway.... Maybe your tympanic structure? Just plain noise? Then I don't know.... sounds like a job for super-man to me.0
