INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

well I am as usual lost, but went back to read a few pages 

ROSSE you are an angel. Yes even though I do not believe in much this days I do believe there are situations which makes us stronger and help us deal with what's in for us at a later day.

Sending you all hugs, my sister start her new pills treatment next week.

Hoping she can survive this c.

Love u all

Blondie I'm sorry you are dealing with this. I hate to admit this, but I had similar issues with my own dd and it really caused a rift that I don't know will ever be fixed. You certainly don't need this going on ((hugs))

I got some decent sleep, but it took awhile to turn the brain off still. I feel refreshed this morning so far, so hopefully it stays that way

I hope ya'll are feeling good today. I wonder if I will ever stop with the achey bones when I get up from laying down or sitting. My knees hurt too, can't walk on stairs...going down is killer. I'm 40 years old ya'll....too young for this right! lol good ol' chemo!!

10/24 is my 1 year anniversary of being officially dx'd. I'm still feeling alot of stuff over it, sometimes I think it is harder now than when I was going thru the tx's.

((hugs))

Tang, as an arthritic person with no cartilage in my knees, I can give you a tip about walking downstairs – until 3 years ago we lived in a tri level '70's house. Go down sideways. If you need to, do it one stair at a time, if you have one knee that's better, lead with that one. That's how I survived, but eventually we bought a one level house.

Thanks peeps, i am so sad, oh well can't  do anything  about it need to take care of myself really ccan't  worry bout all of them. Thanks 4 caring

Going 2 get a shower, did go 2 sleep til 5 put thw tv on 4 an hour, woke up @ 9.  Dd2 is bringing her kids over where she can go to the drs.

Have a great day all

Mags.... that's how I go downstairs!  The PT guy said UP with the good leg, and Down with the bad... I hold onto both walls when going down our stairs.  When I go up, it's easier to just go up on all 4's, or else one step at a time....  UP with the good, one step at a time.

Nettie.... Yes, it ain't a cake-walk..... sometimes, it is just the best in the world, but other times we reach a place where you have to hide the cast-iron skillets...Ha!   But you know, it passes.... our love stays.

Arthritis is starting to kick up. Might get some rain over the next two days off and on.

Blondie- my heart goes out to you. I have been there with my brother years ago.. no more cash for anything or any reason. He hands me the bill and I will assist paying it, but no $. Burned one too many times. Your GD will need to learn the hard way and that's her choice since she is 18, a mom and making some poor choices. Give tough firm boundaries. She can't be in your home without you there and if she has a key call a locksmith and change them out. Your pain meds will go missing. I am so very sorry you did not need that with all that you have on your own plate. Extra hugs and prayers for you.

Hope everyone that is feeling poorly feels better. Hugs and fortitude to you all. 

Just got back from the cabin and I smell like woodsmoke... the fire went out last night and was it chilly in there this morning! Yikes. Trying to start a fire at 6am.. half asleep. All the woodsmoke makes my heart bang around and makes me cough, joints all creaky too. Still I Love the forest with it's 100 foot tall Doug Firs... Rained so hard this morning, that at first I couldn't figure out what all the racket was.. no hearing aides on and half asleep - pitiful. Back home in central heat ahhh.  Getting old sucks, I've become a weather weenie. 

Sleep well fellow Owlettes.

thanks guys did fb message her.

almost hump day

Rose, I think there's a special place in heaven for angels like you! 

Tang, 10/24 is 18th anniversary of my first mx. 10/31 will be second anniversary of second mx. October is a difficult month for me. 

Guess where I'm off to tomorrow? Yup, Mom has been in the hospital since Sunday (nasty fall outside, hit her head pretty hard on the concrete, one small cut on Coumadin causes profuse bleeding). Dad not doing well with all of this (truth is, not sure about me). Can't seem to catch a break and waiting for my life to be dull and boring! 

2TA - L&H&Ps!!!!!!!!! 

IDK CHEVY, I'll try to call her this pm.  She's pretty quiet

morning all

Blondiex..many hugs your way

2nd..... Many hugs your way too.

I pray for peace to surround the both of you and give you strength for the day..hang in there

Hope everyone has a blessed day

Holeinone.....hope that zometa was ok for you. Haven't seen you post since the infusion.

Good morning Owlettes! Well I had my last chemo day before yesterday, met with MO and he is now convinced that I have not had pneumonia, but he can't find anything to explain the shortness of breath. So he sent me to get a lung function study which I had yesterday afternoon. It pretty much wore me out, but with the chemo steroids and the albuterol in the breathing treatment they gave me toward the end I was too shaky to take a nap after. But I did sleep some last night. I think I am a little bit better, walking through the house doesn't leave me so winded. Maybe the MO will prescribe a nebulizer for me, it did seem to help a bit. Anyway, a pulmonologist is going to read the tests and send my doc a report by tomorrow I think.

Blondie, I am so sorry to hear about your family crap. It just doesn't seem to give you a break. I don't have any contact with my family other than the ones I live with and my SIL who is also a BC survivor. I have 4 sisters and a brother, my sisters can best be described as a train wreck waiting to happen, and if it doesn't, they will go looking for one. Some people just have to have drama in their lives. 

Cami, sorry your D screwed up your weekend plans, you always feel better when you get to party a bit, don't you?

Sassy, hope you are feeling better. Rose, your cabin sounds heavenly. I used to love roughing it, and used to be able to build a pretty decent fire. In the olden days.

Love you gals, hope your day is good.

Okay, I'm trying.....  But what is  "cancer is totsilly at bay?"  Is that good?    I don't know about that.... and you say SE's cause .... no wait.... you say spelling and typing are side-effects of  treatments?  Or something?  

It's okay little one.... I'll cover you.... What she is saying gals is that she has had the chits for those 2 days she was supposed to be out partying, and that is because of those damn SE's from her meds, or something, BUT those same SE's are causing her lapse of proper spelling and typing???  

Is she kidding me?     Okay, I'll work on this, read it a few more times, and get back with you...

And Mags!  WTH?  a Nebulizer only helped you a little bit?  Do you use Advair or something like that?   I was sicker from Bronchitis than Pneumonia, but maybe that is just me... And were you on Prednisone or anti-B's to help you get better?  We need to consult Sass on this one....  

I wish you to feel better, anyway!
