Sheps! Now what is going on? Of course us girls are with you.... By the way.... your brain sounds just fine, girl!
I just went to the Doc's too.... It's pneumonia.... even though I had that shot, AND the Prevnar 13 booster, but SHE said there are a lot of different kinds of pneumonia... I just didn't feel good... So after the sniffles, freezing death, coughing, and wheezing, all the things I was doing, .... didn't help a lot. DD hollered and said YOU HAD BETTER GO IN!!
I just want to work out in the yard! If I just do a little, and then rest, I am fine. Got the z-pak and another inhaler.... I'm using the Nebulizer and taking Zyrtec, and stuff for my nose. So Sheps..... I CAN'T come see you.... I would love to sit with you, and talk silly.... but I'll just try & make you laugh.... somehow....
Did you see that GUY Ms. Smarty sent??? She is a wild one! Hah!
Did anyone notice there are puppies in this picture?
You know, I see firemen like this in the grocery store all the time.... If they only knew what I was THINKING!!!! Damn!

ShpeK, what did the brain surgeon say? I did not say "Oh Bother", because that's what Pooh will say, but I did sigh while in your pocket. It's a long day for you!

Shep- brain surgery is no small decision. I hope the surgeon could help you understand the pros and cons of such a procedure. I am sure you are exhausted from today. We will be here to listen whenever you are ready.
How else can we help you friends? You need some silliness?

Shep - When you get a chance, check out the e-card I sent. It has some silliness for you.
Please keep us updated as you feel up to it.

ShepK...I knew you would enjoy that photo of Zena. She is a love bug and a goofball.
Here is another pic of her:
Her snout is bigger than a teacup chihuahua!
I hope they take care of it soon for you. Don't worry. You have a whole tribe of warriors behind you.
MamaJ, I can't stop starring at those puppies.
And please wait until you are better to work in your yard. I need my Mama.
Jazzy, that poor cat!!!
Ms. S., I got my order of hyaluronic acid today. Hope it will help with my sacroiliac problem. With the weather we are having this year, as soon as I got some relief, we have another storm in line. It hurts to walk up the stairs. Thanks youJazzy for the recommendation. Hopefully, in a few months, I will get rid of the fine lines on my face also.

Loverly, you answered your question before I did! Yes, it's about a 1 year program, and it's $6000. I talked with my boss today..the director of student nutrition. She did the same on line program many years ago and she said it changed in life in a very positive way. She gave me a great deal of good info to think about.
Chevy, Rest and heal, period. Take care of yourself!!!
What puppies? I don't know what you ladies are talking about.
Shep, I was so quiet in your pocket 'cause Loverly was running around cleaning and organizing everything. Just watching her exhausted me. My thoughts and heart are with you!!!

sheps, we will stay in your pocket as long as you need 
I love cooking!! What do you guys want to eat while we are pocket sitting ?0 -
Shep-I wish I could meet more of you wonderful ladies. My thoughts are with you as well and I'm sorry to read about Marti. It was pretty crowded in your pocket today, someone kept poking me in the eye. Waiting also to hear how the apt went today. If you need anything, I'm here for you as well. (Side note: I'm actually named because of the song Brandy-It was popular when I was born, and my mom liked the name.
Lita-Woot woot for a fixed tablet
Smaarty-great birthday pictures. Ben is already a heartbreaker.
Susan-Glad that you popped in. Love the pictures of Elena
Lover-Love, love Mia's smile
Waving hello to everyone else

Susan-I just finished making us a batch of brownies, though they probably aren't as good as Lita's brownies
. Mine are just chocolate chunk 0 -
I LOVE YOU DEAR OWLETTES!
Just had to get that out
Each of you are so special and wonderful. I couldn't have made it through this looooong day without you all. Thank you friends
Best moment of the long wait for the last doctor was FFH leaning over my shoulder and looking at the screen on my tablet as I giggled over Smaarty's ever so beefy-beefcake. "Who's sending you pictures of naked guys??????!!!!!!" OMD, FFH was soooo indignant! I couldn't stop laughing.....I couldn't even speak! It was all I could do to scroll down to Chevy's Puppy pic and show it to him!
I've not been able to sleep for more than a hour or so at a time for the past 3 nights. ack Got about 2 1/2 hours last night. Got up at 5 a.m. to get ready for appointments - 3 hour drive each way - 7 hours with docs. Got home at 10:30 p.m., called my mom and now ready to crash.
Where I go for treatment is an NCI designated cancer center and a teaching/research hospital. There are Oncologists for practically every specialized area of medicine. Although this was my first time meeting him, the brain surgeon works closely with the other members of my team. My regular docs say this guy is the best in the country and would not hesitate to have him operate on one of them.
Soooo.....Brain chit is a bit more than I thought. There is the 3.5 centimeter one messing up my vision and probably hearing. Then there are several areas of small stuff. Big tumor needs to be surgically removed. Smaller ones will be Gamma Knife. MO will decide after the tumour biopsy what future treatment will be. I have been taken off the Letrozole as it has obviously failed. No Zometa infusions for my bones ntil after new trreatment plan has been made.
Crucial to this all is somehow getting an MRI to give the surgeon an accurate view as to what he is dealing with. The metal oops in my spine may make this impossible
Falling asleep as I type.....Good night for now
Chevy - stay inside and take care of yourself. Pneumonia is nothing to play with!

Aww WildT, you could have made me look a little bit better than the Carol Burnette cartoon. You know the best medicine while anxiously waiting is cleaning. Somebody has to do it. I had to make sure the surgeon is well equipped with clean surgical tools.
Well, actually believe it or not, I was cleaning at work today
Wow, $6000 is a good amount of money. I hope they have financial aid.
Sensi, chocolate chunk....sure. And you blame it on the skunk.
Shep, you never have to worry about your pocket getting dirty. I am more than happy to stay in the pocket to clean up the mess Susan will make.

Ayy?? How did your post get above mine? Wishing you good rest tonight, dear friend. We go to battle along with you again tomorrow. Muah

Lover-not a skunk, but mice/rats. 😮 They are going to be expensive boogers! They decided to chew on my duct work in attic, which will now need to be replaced. Trying to first find exterminator to get rid of them. At least I've got my tax return coming.
Way past my bedtime. Sweet dreams to al

lover, no worries about dropping food in the pocket. Christmas Eve after everyone leaves, 2 ish in the morning, I am washing the floors. We would make a good team to clean in sheps pocket.
Good luck shep. Sounds like you have a good team. Hugs.

Susan, I want some good comfort food while we wait in the pocket...grilled cheese and tomato soup, and Sensi's brownies for dessert.
Loverly, Oh, sweetie...the fact that I did the Carol Burnett Charwoman for you is a huge compliment. (With just a little teasing for your love of cleaning.) Watching Carol Burnett as a child is one of my happy memories. It made me laugh, and warmed my heart.
Sensi, Sorry for the expense and hassle you are going through.
Feline/Chevy, love the porn for women!
Shep, Love it that FFH saw the beefcake pics! I agree that it's great you have a team of doctors working together. I hope you got some good rest. Thanks for the update..waiting for more. Love and hugs!!!

Shep- it sounds like you are getting extremely good care. Hearing the brain surgeon is the best of the best is what we need to hear.
You sound exhausted sister, get some rest.

Been a lot going on this past week, and a few things to share. The best news, finished my final check ups last week with the MO (not sure if I shared that here yet) and found out I only have to do five (vs. 10) years on the AIs. I will be done with those by next March (2018).
The not great news is my car got broken in to at my gym this past weekend during the Superbowl, and while I was swimming. I came out to find one of the back windows punched out. This same thing happened in 2011 and learned my lesson then not to keep anything of value in the car, and everything else locked up (like remote, insurance cards, etc). They stole a bag with yoga stuff, I guess they thought it was a purse or something. I got the window fixed quickly (within 24 hours) and am moving on from that now. I hope the thieves enjoy their yoga practice.
Today I traded in an old mountain bike I have not ridden in awhile for some credit, and bought this cute new bike called a Townie. She is getting pimped out with some extras like some lights, odometer, etc. and hope to bring her home on Thursday (photo included).
And finally, I am going to Vegas for the weekend and doing a bucket list item and going to see Elton John at Ceasers Palace as part of the visit. Rocket man, here I come!
How about that for an update?
