Jazzy - I'm glad to hear they are always watching your scar tissue areas! That is so important. Thank you so much for the advice. Your right, there is really no way not to be scared, but any comfort is helpful! Thank you!
The babies are very rewarding! I work in Nicu/Picu and peds.

One of my twins had to go to NICU due to low apgar scores (2 then a 3) and the fact she had passed meconium and she was one of the healthier babies. It takes a very special person to work in that unit.

Sassy! I don't have a clue as to what you are talking about.... I don't get anything when I click on things that are posted here.... Do you? I click on some of the topics, and they are all fine.....
Maybe it's your own device? I have had Norton for about 5 years now, and whenever I have clicked on a link, from surfing, they will block access, saying it isn't safe.
So no more of those ummm.... uh porn sites.... okay? Maybe someone is trying to hi-jack you.... and sweep you away..... is that why you haven't been posting? And what is 1100? It's 2016 now.... Is this a trick, to see if anyone notices?
And HAH Spookers! YOU guys have been a little chilly, right? Some of the ice is getting melted around here.... But it is supposed to snow again Friday.... I'm ignoring it this time.

Smarty, little Evie is just beautiful! Can focus on you right away! Love all the pictures....
Spookie and Glennie are over there freezing... even had to wear SOCKS! Hah! 48 degrees? That's WARM here!
Morning Peppermint & Loverly.... Mitzy had an anxiety attack! Poor little thing. She doesn't MEAN to... she can't help it....
By the way, your FLOORS are so CLEAN ! Very pretty!
Glad you liked the video Midnight.... every once in awhile I watch it... just to keep grounded.
Do any of you remember this?

MammaRay - when I was on steroids I had the same experience - much like alcohol, I don't think steroids put in parts of us that weren't there before but they really MAGNIFY them. (Why it couldn't be our BEST characteristics that get magnified I don't know). It is probably not much consolation but I feel like that when I do homework with DD all the time and I am not on steroids now thank God. (DD is a difficult character in that setting. This doesn't bring out the best in me). Give yourself a pat on the back for all that you are doing well - you are a mother who cares and who works with her son, who puts so much energy and interest and love into her child. Give yourself a positive score for all the good things you do. XXX.

MammaRay: steroids can do all kinds of things to your brain. Hang in there.

Sassy is celebrating that we are on page 1100 though the image is a bit scary.
Well Well Midnight (though I'm sure I will slip and call you Deb despite Chevster's nicknaming you) one more medical person to add here. So another pocket party tomorrow. Did we clean up sufficiently from yesterday? Maybe tomorrow is pig out day - chocolates and things like that. We are here for you. Do you expect to know something more definitive tomorrow?
When I was driving lots at night the only stuff on radio here even in the Metroplex was hard rock, rap, talk radio and country. I would hit on a softer country station and stay there till they played honky-tonk stuff. That's where I 1st heard the Martina McBride song and this was b4 my DX. Tough to cry and drive.
Huggs MammaRay. You are there for your son and many parents can't be bothered and they're not getting the tx you're getting.
OK out to heat water for goaties.even though it is a warm 43 (compared to 31 about this time yesterday).

Lover: (re. photo of cat with toilet paper roll) That's more the "It needed killing. It made a sudden move for the catnip. Or maybe it said something rude about you. I can't remember now. But it definitely required dismembering."

Love it!

HahaHahaha.....so I guess with mine, the pillow explosion was Mitzy way of protecting us from the disrespectful dangerous dufe.
MammaRay, it would be nice if the Decadron hit that part of the brain that helps us to be calm and patient while it is doing its job to decrease the swelling. It can cause mood swings in some people that is not easy to control without pharmaceutical intervention and or discontinuation of the steroid. Take a break when you or DS gets frustrated. I know my brain shuts down when I feel defeated. There are exercises that you can do with your son to help promote the use of both side of the brain. Wish I had known this when my kids were younger.

Ms. Chevy, yes she did have a panic attack. Can't get mad at her. Btw, not easy to keep the floor clean with Mitzy because of the shedding and and skin flakes. That's why I wanted a labradoodle or poodle mix. I have to run my Roomba twice a day.
Ms. Sas, yes I am in outpatient. I like to refer to myself as a licensed dealer. It sounds much more interesting. Regarding the Christmas tree: I am trying to declutter before we downsize in a few years. The tree along with many other stuffs take up too much space. The longer you live in a house, the more you accumulate.

Hi ladies! I'm enjoying reading everyone's posts. Love the cat pic!
Luvmygoats - Yes, another pocket party would be awesome and I am hoping to know something a bit more definitive tomorrow. Not positive I will, but a girl can hope. There are times when the Drs/techs know you work in a hospital and a bit of professional courtesy kicks in. We will see. At the very least...in a day or two I will be able to access the test result online. As far as chocolate...I'm not a fan. I know. I know. LOL! Actually, I am the total opposite of an emotional eater. I tend to just not eat at all. Healthy...no, but can't stomach food of any sort when I'm upset.
Hope everyone is having a good night. Hugs to all!

Deb- my imaging center comes in right away after my films and ultrasound are done and reviewed. I hope you get some good answers tomorrow on whether anymore more needs to be done with tests, etc. Remember the mantra "I can do this."
Will be in your pocket girlfriend. Sending you love and strength for your appointment.

Aw Midnight, I am like you. Can't eat when I worry too...just not hungry and food seems tasteless. Ok, how about ginger ale or apple cider for the pocket party?

Midnight: another "gets queasy when under stress" here too. Ginger beer and dry toast for me in your pocket party, if the smell wouldn't put you off?0

Loverly, it could have been worse.

Spookie, I'm trying to figure out how a dog that large got a chair that small over his head. Not sure if the dog or the chair are winning!

Mama, you up? I fell asleep between 8- 11, now wide awake too. I was on Decadron after my brain surgery. Chit, flying in the universe. Talked a blue streak.
Deb with you tomorrow.
How about some Key Lime pie?Loverly, with my Brittany Max, I used to have a safe place. He was scolded wherever the problem was and then I would go to the safe place which was the stairs. I'd call him and hold him and love on him. There wasn't a delay. The first time he beat me to the steps was sweet. Historically, Max was the most destructive, but he was also my first dog as an adult. They're was a learning curve as far as how to manage the destructiveness. Max was also the smartest. Once we got the rules established on how to manage the destructiveness, we never had a problem after that. He was amazing.
Consider a second dog. The companionship of another dog may make the world of difference. Mitsy would never be alone. If kenneling is needed, both dogs are together. The characteristics to consider. Spayed female. Older, 4-6. Similar size as Mitsy. Lower energy breed. Put word out to SPCA, pound ,church, and friends that you are interested in adopting a dog that is calm, house trained, with no anxiety issues.
