Been watching that tropical storm off the East Coast too

Boyd, I was thinking about you the other day and wondering if you had the surgery. I'm surprised to hear that you haven't yet. I agree with Jazzy and Ms. Chevy about getting the help you need. The swelling you have is alarming.
Susan, any success in getting rid of the smell? No making cheese in the car anymore!
Ms. Chevy, how is your hip? I am sore today because of the changes in the barometric pressure. My XRay came back with degenerative changes of the sacral joints bilaterally. Oh well...it could be worse.

Oh my goodness!!! It is raining here. Ms Smaarty, it's here!! Getting ready to leave work and see that the ground is completely wet, not spotty wet! It's going to be a fun fall and winter.

If we do, the shoreline will get it worse than us. I'm more inland.

Hi Loverly.... My hip still hurts, but nothing like it did... I just use heat, and take Aleve sometimes... It's now right in the front joint... Like where that one screw is... You would THINK I had enough padding to help that out...!

It rained here last night, and it's cloudy now, but so far nothing.....!
Did you guys get that email, about Marisa Weiss being on the Today Show tomorrow?

Hi Blondie- I hear it is raining buckets over on the east coast. Hoping everyone will be spared the hurricane this weekend. Saw big flooding pics in Mass and Maine on the news today.
Chevy- thanks for the heads up. I will be leaving for the airport around 8 and will catch the first hour of the Today Show. I hope she is on before I go.

Hi Ms. BLONDIE!! It is always nice to see you popping in. Have you gotten your meals squared away? How is hospice treating you? Hope you are not too much in discomfort. Big hug.
Ms. Chevy, good to hear you are better. Are sensitive to the changes in the weather too?
Jazzy, safe trip tomorrow.
Glennie, does Fresh Wave work on doggie smell??
0 -
NO.....the smell is still there. We have tried everything. The carpet has to go. Can't believe I did this. On the bright side...I am getting lots of rest cause I don't want to drive the smelly car to far

Hi Blondie! Boyd, you better listen to Chevy or she'll whup your butt good. No kidding but if something is aggressive, it can work faster than you can imagine. Mine did in weeks! Get off your butt and get to someone that knows what they are doing. I don't know you and I hate to be testy here but you've been so patient but this isn't the time to be so. Good luck!
Jazzy, I got a hotel deal from Inn at Loretto so I told my DH we needed to get out for a few days this fall since we cancelled our long trip. I'll hope to meet you if this comes about but I love being up there in the fall!

Thanks everyone for responses. I think the surgery is to remove the lump which is benign and microcalcifications to see if they are cancer. They said they will I do a mammogram and insert a wire into them than I go to surgery that way they can be found, they are behind the nipple. That is not what my surgeon said but the place that did my MRI and needle biopsy. No one has given me any treatment for swelling they do not its not an infection though. I went to a different doctor today and the PA that saw me when I said breast issues she said I can see looking at my chest and asked what's going on. Nothing she knew to do though. Also when I was checking out to leave I was having pain in my breast and caught myself holding it gentle, I apologized to the receptionist and she said it's okay sweetie, we understand. I wanted to ask what she understands because I don't even know why it's like this. Until today I didn't realize people could tell so obvious the size difference is a lot even in baggy shirts. Also have noticed more redness in aerola, and still have a couple of small spots. I thought the spots were bug bites but they have not went away and it's been months, one of them has some what looks like bruising around it. Also just realized that on bottom part of areola where the pain is looks like the nipple has a spot coming down off of it, a bruised circle and than redness running down to the bruised sore. Most likely it's nothing but it is such an ordeal when no one has answers Or cares about finding them. Sorry so much info thanks for letting me vent. Lots to do will keep you all update thanks

Doing pretty good Blondie!
Getting a break from the rain until tonight.
The models for that storm out there are all over the place. One model has us getting hit with it sometime Tuesday morning. Still keeping an eye on it though.
Got more news on my aunt who had the stroke last month. She is doing good and working hard at getting better.

Mema- if you are out this way, let me know. I live in Albuquerque so if you are down this way, would love to meet up for coffee or the like! I am back in town late on 10/5. I have some time planned away the weekend beginning 10/29, but also may be coming through SF during that later time in October, if you are there then and can stop and meet up that way too! End of October is just beautiful here and a bit quieter with tourists.
Body- let us know what you find out. The swelling and changes to the skin suggesting something more than these folks are saying is going on. Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself and get that second opinion. These doctors don't seem to have any sense of urgency. We care here and want to see you get the care you need.
Off tot the airport this morning. East coast here we come!

Morning girls.... Hi Boyd... Maybe I'm not understanding this whole process you are going through, but if you were MY Daughter, I would march you right into the Doctor's office and say "I'M DONE! GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD!" I looked up micro-calcification's....
http://www.macmillan.org.uk/information-and-suppor...
And I think most of us DID have that 10 foot long wire inserted right before surgery, into the exact spot, so the ultra-sound could direct the doctor to the tumor location. I didn't think they messed with benign lumps? My oldest Daughter has them, and usually they are just cysts... But all the other problems you are having is reason enough to get your "TEAM" going with something "pro-active."
I can't imagine anyone making a patient of theirs wait till the cows come home, and the sheets are dry, and the wood stocked, to get her to the hospital and something clarified! It still sounds like some sort of infection going on to me.... especially the redness and swelling ! It sounds like you ran head first into a truck!
Okay.... no more messing around....Tell them EYE said so! Take good care..........

Boyd..in your pocket . Hope they get to it fast. 4 years ago when mine came back, I just knew, doc dragged his feet cause counts were good. I actually went to my internist and got her to schedule a biopsy. When the reports came back my onc apologized . I had many not nice words for him. But we came to an understanding. Listen to the patient!!
Sas, hope you are feeling better soon. Hugs your way. Hope you can get painless peaceful rest my friend

Just got back from an event kicking off Breast Cancer Awareness Month. They did a survivor balloon release and I got to talking with one of the ladies there about what I went through with my battle little did I know that when it came time to raise the flag they had for Breast Cancer Awareness, the gal I had been talking to was supposed to raise the flag would turn around and ask me to do it. I was so touched!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got caught up this morning, not too far behind. Welcome to Grams. Sorry Sassy you're having another stone. Do you drink crystal light? That's what they have my SIL take to prevent a recurrence.
Lovely, missed the showers here, got home today. Rose, sorry for the lack of energy. Chevy, you tell em girl! Now show us how you do yoga!

Sassy- owie... I hope for quick relief and a pain free weekend. Stones are so painful. Smarty love your big rockin chair photo and reference to Edith Ann! Be well ya'll.
Poor Oregon is reeling from the carnage today. From what the police are willing to release, it appears the shooter wasn't even from Oregon but some where in the Midwest, only in state 48 hours and kills 10 and wounds 7 more. They said he ranted on social media, just 20 years old and full of hate. Wish his cyber friends had turned him in to authorities. This is so sad. They said all campuses in Oregon would have increased police presence starting tomorrow. Afraid of copy cat crimes I guess. It seems every couple of months this happens somewhere in our country.

A quick hello to all. I have been amazed at the outpouring of love from all my bco sisters. Thanks to all who have sent cards, pm's, text messaging, phone calls and yes some awesome presents. Several had real names instead of our alias on here so I am not exactly sure who they are from.
No way I can go back and catch up so just starting on this last page.
I am back in the hospital since last wed I think. Then before that I was only home a couple of weeks before the last hospital stay. Treating me for uti and sepsis again. The meds make me so tired and makes my vision blurry and my hands are shakey. So I haven't even tried tocatch up with everybody.
SAS- hospital put me on the med that you had told me about when you left a message. Def has helped with the vomiting and increased appetite
Getting better very day - at least I hope so -
Hootie hoo
