Jwooso sorry to hear this. Hugs, xx
Have MO appt later. Will discuss latest DEXA.
Saw a purse in a catalogue that has the RIFD blocker in it. Thinking of ordering it, that's what chevy rambles about.

Spookie, you can make your own, by cutting out 2 pieces of cardboard, then wrapping foil around it.... then putting that fancy Duck Tape over it! Yes....that's what I was rambling about....
It was such a PITA getting the whole mess cleared up! Went on for months! When your Identity is stolen, you forget who you ARE!

And then you have to become someone ELSE!

Yeah, a pole dancer in the back alley?
Need a new purse anyway only $20.

Chevy - we never know what anyone has in their own mind, only they do. While he chose his path, you may have saved many other people from a fatal accident had he been behind the wheel driving.
I have lost quite a few people in my day, some suicide. I mourn the loss, more for me than for them. Their own private hell has ended, and I cherish the days I had them in my life. I am a better person today having loved and lost them, than to never have had them in my life.
I hope you realize that you may have saved lives, we never truly know that do we? Peace my friend.

Beachbum- I like your post. I never venture to know how people feel inside, physically or emotionally, anymore than I could expect them to understand how it felt to go through BC treatment physically or emotionally.
Compassion is the key, as everyone is dealing with something.

Hey Jazzygirl, if only we could spread that message, world wide. Perhaps that is why so many turn to evil, drugs, meds etc. to get by. Had someone showed true compassion towards them, they may be a better and happier person today.
I'd like to teach the world to sing, remember that from years gone by? Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate it.

Hi Beachbum! Yes, thank you.... I know what you mean.... I DID help save someone's life one time.... I was trying to find a place to park at work, in the parking lot... Sat there waiting for this little TRUCK to just move! He was in the middle of the lane... Then I saw a girl jump out of the passenger seat.... and run between the cars!!! I thought WTH???
He got out after her, with a GUN! Damn! I saw this shiny pistol in his hand! He picked her up, and threw her into the back of his truck!
That's when I shoved my car into reverse.... my heart POUNDING! I SPUN around, and drove right to the front of the Brewery....!! A security guy was sitting there in his truck.... I was SCREAMING...."Someone is up there in a white truck with a gun, running after this girl! !!! " I was just panicked! I got out of my car, while he went to find them, and I ran inside, listening to the radios, that my Supervisor was listening to, with Security.... This guy, drove down the service road, with another Security in BACK of him, and he ran into a hill, and then he killed himself!!! Can you just imagine??
The gal had been shot in the hip.... Security guy #1 got her in his truck.... I then went back up there, parked my car.... saw her bleeding in the truck, but she was okay....just bleeding.... He was waiting for an ambulce....
I went back in, still shaking.... I was questioned so many times.... Finally after about a month, and thanked me for saving her life! They had been going through a divorce.... He took her to work.... and just lost it....
She worked in our department.... and I was just a new gal.... but I felt so bad for HIM, but at least she escaped.....

I think we all have stories like that, right? Some things we just like to forget.... but other things that happen to us, might help someone else get over their thoughts,....

Before I read this page I want you all to know I am OK. I have a psychologist, a psychiatrist (ugh), and a social worker (through the cancer center). The thought came to me because mom would be with her brother. Yes, it has been difficult. I was really nice, asking my mother to please not fix food for me for while she was on this trip. I really really really wanted to get back on track with my eating -- by fixing food for myself the way I did when I lived at my house. Then she fixes all this food, leaving all these leftovers and announces that I'll have plenty of food to eat. I was so upset I was actually calm. I told her that I asked her not to do that. that I wanted to fix my own food. She says, but you won't fix your own food. I say, I did when I lived at my house. I add that I was really looking forward to getting back on track with my diet! I literally went over to her, lifted up her face (she was looking at the chili), looked into her eyes, and told her that. For a short while I even thought maybe she GOT IT. But then reality set in. She will never get it. I will, until the end of my life, have to kill off my personality -- and I can't do it. So, there will be no end to this butting of heads. I did start looking at apartments today though.

Chevy, you are a hero! And Susan, well, LOL, I can't sing either. It's on my bucket list. I need to look into the cost. I don't need to try out for American Idol. I just want to be able to carry a tune.
JWoo, I apologize for any pain my remarks may have caused you. I had a boss who committed suicide, and my mother's sister-in-law (where mom is now) lost a daughter that way. No clue. It does leave a load of unresolved questioning. Please accept my apology -- and anyone else who I upset in here. The relationship with my mother is strained badly, and this has been a rough day, but I have every intention of making the next 2 weeks good ones. I'll even be able to go to the oncologist without my mommy. She refuses to let me go alone. Isn't that nuts? OK. Enough of that. I will also check out some apartments and prices. It will really hurt my mother's feelings, but I'm losing my mind!

Okey Nellie, We all have dark sides. Dunes I know you are on some dark threads. Save the dark things for them and let your sunny side shower us.
Enough of suicide and it's extended talk.
Those wishing thoughts for Jwoo it's okay. This is a place of talking about life and how to keep it.

Hi folks- shifting gears here, I got across town today to drop off three bags of linens for the ladies at the shelter. I bagged up some sheets, towels and three comforters that needed to be passed on and learned there were three women getting ready to move out of the shelter into transitional housing. These things will help them and when I heard three women and knew I had three comforters (I had more of the other things), I thought "oh good, each one will have some bedding and towels to start out with." It felt good to pass them along to help women who have nothing and are starting over from nada.
I have a good friend trying to lure me to Durango next week for a little winter outing. We are trying to find a place to stay that works for both of us. The place she found is on the slopes is going to be too small and the one in town I like does not have a good shuttle to the mountain for the days I don't want to go up there. Well, maybe it will happen or maybe it won't!
Time for a walk before the light ends.

Teka- LOL, and some are bigger than others!

Teka - too funny!
Sorry Sassy would love to be up-beat and happy. Well the scans showed progression. So back to adding more miserable crap, 4 options. I had to laugh, because the new onc (2nd opinion) insisted that you NEVER get cancer in your knees. My miserable pain in my left knee had to be arthritis or injury but it was NOT cancer. Case closed no further discussion. So I pleaded with the radiologist to scan past my knees even though it was ordered mid thigh for the PET scan. Bless his little heart he did! Guess what? Distal ends of the femurs 13.9 and 11.5. Bilateral proximal Tibia lesions 8.1 and 14. So that blows that theory. I get cancer in my knees. I have a large lesion on my femur that might cause a fracture. He wants me to see a orthopedist. There was uptake, sternum, ribs, both arms. Lung nodules stable and one axillary node was doing something. Lungs, liver and all no activity. Uptake in the same place in my back as always.. same old same old. Cancer sucks and causes endless aching. Good news my blood counts were great. White count elevated as always. So now pick a new poison... sigh. Anyway, that's all folks. Between this and seeing my Mom, it's been kind of a bummer of a week. I surely will miss all this sunshine. Florida has WONDERFUL SUNNY SKIES full of fluffy white clouds. Lovely. Thanks for listening.

Rose- I am sorry to hear about the progression. Cancer sucks big time.
I am glad you got a break to go to Florida for a bit and enjoy some sunshine. Did you go to the ocean?

Well, I dodged the bullet this year. Comparing DEXA from 2 years ago, the loss is getting worse, but not osteoporosis. YET. So I guess that's good
0 -
Spookie- what are you T-scores? I am between -1.5 to -1.8. Not osteoporosis yet either, but don't want to get to that point either.
I was glad that BSBC approved the Prolia shot and hope it helps. I will find out in December when I go for my next dexa scan again.

Jazzygirl- YES! I went multiple times to the beaches. The Jacksonville beaches are stunning! White powdery sands, lots of shells, blue rolling water and huge skies full of clouds. I saw lots of birds in the wetland areas..too many shore birds to count! Lots of fun. I REALLY enjoy bird watching... can park it for hours with binocs and be a happy camper for the day! So many things to look at that are different from Oregon that it's very interesting. Plants are neat too, textures, shapes and designs. The whole environment is so different it's fun. I just couldn't walk as far as I would have liked to painful.

I don't know what that is, really. Something was 1.7, is now 2.something. She glossed over the pills, even less about the shots. Said I wasn't ready for any of it yet. Will have a D3 test soon, already at 5,000 daily. May increase that. Said the fact my wrist broke in 3 places shows increased risk for fractures. I said a 20 yo would have broken bones in that fall.and it was amazing more bones didn't break!
Unlike SOME people who were pole dancing in the alley and broke their hip!

Spookie- I take 5000 mg of Vit D daily too. They suggested I see how I am doing with my Vit D levels again, so I need to call my PCP now and go get that done. Be careful with how much you take, you can get Vit D toxicity. You don't pee the excess out like you do with Vit C and other things.
Rose- the trip to the ocean sounds beautiful. I grew up near the ocean (east coast) and miss the water. I often take vacations to place with water (Hawaii, Caribbean, etc.) Florida has some nice beaches!

Spookie the 25 hydroxyl is a part od the D test. CEA is a tumor marker. <5 elevated in smokers.

Jazzy, I started the D3 waaaaay before ca. A pain doc said it would help my fibro, and it does
