I am hoping for the best myself. I am hopeful that whatever it is, is in the early stages, as we had been following this cyst I had removed for 3 years and it was not suspicious until it just started changing appearance and removal was recommended. Thought after removing it I was home free, but guess not yet. I do know that cancer is no longer a death sentence and hopefully with a hysterectomy it will all be gone. I am just praying that it has not spread anywhere else. I'll be 42 years old tomorrow!!! Heck of a birthday present!

It is Friday - going to Reno next week

It is Friday and I am leaving Weds for Reno to see Brooks and Dunn in concert on Thursday.  First vacation since last May when I took two days off for my birthday.  This is the only downside of having your own accounts.   But to me still worth it even with all the hectic time before I leave on Weds. 


 


 


Sasha is home from the oncologist.
She sure doesn't act sick. Her lymph nodes are already quite shrunken, which is good. DH has to look at all the different option plans and decide what he's willing to do. Naturally I'd do the optimal treatment that runs around $4500, but I'm not the big breadwinner. At least she is getting something and will feel better than she has. Cedric is happy she is home, and so am I. Vet said she was very good, even when she had all the vet students come through to take a look at her huge tonsils.


I have a vet appointment
tomorrow. I talked to them on the phone and they told me now that it sounds like a tape worm. I hope they can figure it out soon, I hate to see her suffering with a belly ache. She also looks like she's losing a little weight. She's still playing and running around and drinking though.

I did buy a cook book for dogs over this past weekend, but I'm a little hesitant to start this. I'm just afraid that the dogs won't get the proper nutrients. Anyone else cook for their dogs?
I wish we could all go the week of the graduation but their graduations are always a week earlier th
ours. So actually all three of my kids are still in school this week while all of hers will already be out. My youngest is actually missing school to go but my two older kids have finals so they can't go at all that week.

Thank you. I guess I'm just trying to find a nice way to say it without causing friction and keeping the peace.

My DH is your typical male, just deal with it when the time comes whereas I want to take care of things right away without hurting anyone's feelings.
Doctor's appointment soon
I have a doctor's appointment in the middle of June.  I'm going to try to deal with this until then.  I tried looking up anxiety on the internet but they way they describe it didn't seem to fit.  I hate asking for another pill to take.  I have way too many now.  But, if it takes away this feeling, I'll do about anything.  Thanks.
CJ had a followup appointment
He is doing decently well. Got up and voided for DH at 5:00 a.m., then got himself up as I was preparing the car to take him for his recheck. This time I remembered to put in the 9-inch thick orthopedic mattress. Can't believe I forgot that for his postop ride home! They got more air out and lapped up some special food they brought him that smelled like cat food. So I brought some of that home and his appetite did kick in - yay! He's also appreciating having the water and food bowls up on the feeding riser, so it's nice we have all this stuff already in place.

We are giving Sasha lots of loving too so she doesn't get too worried and depressed.
Thank you all for caring. I have an appointment on
Thursday to see a Christian psychologist at a local church.  I have been thinking of attending this church for some time, and when I have my appointment it might be a foot in the door so to speak.  Thank you again for your kind words.  My post was just another way of reaching out.  When I get terribly depressed I tend to internalize everything and avoid people.  I really need to sit down with someone and just unload.  I think this is a step in the right direction. 
Congrats on that appointment! sm
A lot of people are returning to church. I was too "busy" for years and got away from it and feel it at the holidays. My views of the right/wrong religion have changed a great deal over the years. I no longer believe there should be huge "differences" in churches and ? being loyal to just one. I am "searching" as well because my kids have married people from other faiths and I feel they are "pulled" as to where to go, and that should not be. I'm happy you are thinking of returning and faith is so important these days. You have inspired me to get off my butt as well and get back to church (and I am not going to give up until I get back there.) It can be very depressing because it does haunt one on the holidays (at least me anyway). I can't imagine not having faith. Congratulations to you!
By all means, keep the vet appointment sm
just to make sure of what's going on. She could have just about anything, from arthritis, tendinitis, Lyme, or even a blood clot. I'm glad the med is helping her. Is it Rimadyl? I would avoid using aspirin until you hear from the vet.

I would go ahead and make an appointment
with an ENT stressing the problem you are having. If you end up getting better or going to an urgent care first you can always cancel the appointment. It you know of an urgent care that you trust you could give that a try. Good Luck
That appointment with the thoracic surgeon
came to a halt when I had what I thought was a gallbladder attack and no, the physician's office calls and says no problems there, however what about the hypoechoic cysts in your right kidney. A scan I had a year or so ago picked up polycystic kidney disease but now with that, first things first and trying to seek more information regarding that. I guess with my age things just start falling apart! One thing I have done today though was to go to foot doctor about what he called "syndrome" in both feet and he prescribed Lyrica and said possibly would help the overall pain all over the body but mostly the ribs. This is the first physician who has said maybe the rib pain associated with the fibro that I have. Thanks for asking!
We waited 10 weeks, until 1st doctor appointment 9sm)

We just weren't comfortable telling anyone right away.  Wanted to be sure everything was ok and had "stuck."  I'm a very private person and would not want to have to deal with people knowing if something had gone wrong - I'm not really one for all the pity and tiptoing around you that people do after the loss of a pregnancy. Plus, once you tell it's all anyone wants to talk about! 


I had someone tell me once that she was PG even before she told her husband.  She miscarried two days later, then was calling me to tell me not to tell anyone and wondering if she should tell her husband after the fact.  I was uncomfortable.


Having said that, if you feel so inclined, go ahead and share your joy!  Congrats!     


Who covers for him/her/them when they're off or can't make an appointment? nm
s
i suggest making an appointment with your doc ASAP sm
the health of you and the baby might be at risk...why take a chance? you already have enough to worry about and have 3 more months to go! i'm glad you came here for an opinion, but we're not practitioners...i think you need to get off your feet and talk to your doc stat!
Best wishes

to all my cyberfriends here for a great New Year.  Some have had a great year, some not so good...wishing us a prosperous New Year in all aspects of life, the strength to overcome all struggles that are being faced, and a light at the end of...Peace...for each and every one!


What wishes are yours should
remain yours. My dear aunt is elderly but that does not mean she will die before me or her son. She has told me that she does not wish an open casket, no funeral. Those wishes, even though they would not be mine in her case, are her wishes. It is not up to anyone (if they are of sound mind) else to say what kind of funeral a person should have if they have stated their wishes and made it known ahead of time.
Best wishes!
I too tried for 10 years to get pregnant before I had my son. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

It sure sounds like you are pregnant to me! Missing period and sore, swollen breasts are pretty good indications. If you have missed your period for 2 months, you should go see a doctor anyway.

I am praying that you are. Please let us know! :-)
Best wishes for your sister's
speedy recovery.  Not a nice diagnosis especially at this time of year, but hopefully prayer is the answer.  I don't know you, but will think positive for you.  I think it is great that you have come here for support, and I think you'll find that the people here will be very supportive.  God bless!
Twisted Wishes

I have done this before and it was always so fun. You make a wish...the next person grants it, but with a twist. Here's an example:

I wish I had a million bucks!!

Your wish is granted, but where are you going to put all those deer????

Get it? LOL , So my Wish is:


I wish I had some chocolate!


Best wishes for your fur-baby
I haven't kept up so I don't know what the diagnosis is, but my diabetic cat, who was on death's door in DKA a little over 4 years ago, is now snuggled next to me. I never would have thought back then that he'd still be with me today, but he is. I had to finger-feed him all-meat baby food for about 4-6 weeks while he recovered and freaked out while I learned to blood glucose levels and adjust to his insulin needs.

He's now even become a seasoned traveler (considering he has to be given insulin injections every 12 hours and I can't leave him) and has gone on numerous beach trips, mountain trips, Civil War reenacements and Scottish Highland Games. He thinks he owns the RV now. :-)

You'll know when it's time and your kitty may surprise you and take you way past when you thought it would be.

Best wishes to you - I hope you get the help you need! (nm)

Great pic and thanks for the wishes, I
know we can ALL use them! Happy New Year to all.
My MIL is okay, but she wishes I was an orphan -sm
boy she is/was so jealous of the time I spent with my mom. I would get H-e-l-l for going up to be with my parents when my mom was still alive. Now that she is dead (4 years now) she could care less that I spend time with my dad and brothers. Granted I don't go up as much now and the kids had more fun with my mom as she was very outgoing. It was a really pain to deal with, I tried to keep my trips secret from her or tell her at the last minute as I was sick of the grief. DH stuck up for me but that did not matter. Going up for 5 days after Christmas (spending Christmas at in-laws), not a peep, just, oh, that will be nice for you. But I know it still annoys her that she has to share the kids with someone else, though I know she is quite happy now that she is the only grandmother and odds are my kids won't remember my mom (much) as they were 4 and 6 when my mom died. Though I do try to keep her fresh in there memory with pictures and remind them of things we did together as I'd hate for them to forget the fun times they did have. My youngest misses her the most I think because she doesn't remember as much, sad.
In my home, I have wishes too, but I also...
have a husband whom I care about and having a living animal in the house that a husband does not want is a pretty major thing. I can see picking a bedspread that he hates, but an animal seems huge to me, that's all. Clearly, everyone thinks that I am wrong, but it is just my opinion. I guess I should already be aware that people here like opinions only as long as they match their own.
the stepmom is respecting your wishes
accept that they are all respecting your wishes and thank them for that.
I second, uh third, well, fourth, whatever all the good wishes. nm

My heart and best wishes go out for Iowans

Can't get my mind off the people in Iowa.  So much destruction everywhere.  Amazing stories of how people survived while their houses ripped off the foundation while they survived in the basement.  I look around at my own space here and can't imagine it gone within minutes.  I've lived in earthquakes and hurricanes, but I don't think I could take tornados.  Wishing everyone in Iowa and all the "tornado" states the best.


My best wishes to Katie Holmes

I read tonight that Katie Holmes is trying to leave Scientology.  It was an article DH showed me and it stated that she was trying to escape the Scientology compound and a couple of scientologist guards caught her climbing out of a window and they brought her back.  My heart goes out to her.  I wish her all the best. 


BTW, just as a side note reading all this info it says that woman are not allowed to breast feed their children and the babies must be fed a home-brewed baby formula created by L Ron Hubbard.  Is it just me or is that strange.  Especially since the guy was a Science Fiction writer and not a physician.


Gives me goosebumps.


Good luck to Katie and Suri and I hope she gets the help she needs to escape. I think Katie Holmes has a lot going for her and that Suri is cute as a button.  They deserve a good life.


Powerful post, made me cry....Best wishes!

Congratulations! Brave step you took! Best wishes (nm)

Next Friday
it's in stores. I'm going to buy it. I have tried everything including hypnotism and exercising my behind off to lose weight and just can't get rid of the fat. Also doing low carb and still can't lose weight. I'm counting down the days to buy Alli. Never tried Xenical but it's half the dose of it so it still should work. I'm desperate. I am in a wedding in Sept and need to lose a lot of weight in the next 3 months.
Friday
Home made chicken pot pies for dinner tonight. It's so chilly outside today. Plus, I can easily toss it in the crock pot during lunch. :)
It's Friday - Yay !!

Friday!

You better get going!!   My suggestion would be to pick out clothes that will take you from now until you get where you're going - I assume that will be sometime Sunday maybe.  Pack those in a suitcase and set it aside to live out of until you get to your final destination.  Leave one box out for linens, towels, etc. that are going to be used until then and those will just have to get packed dirty Friday am.


Get paper plates, cups, plastic forks, etc. and start using those so you can pack the kitchen. 


Start packing literally everything else and stack the boxes in a corner.   You essentially need to be off work from now on to get this done.  Box up the computer so you won't be tempted.  Pick a room and start at one end of the room.  Have a designed "no way is this moving with me" spot and put discards there to be donated or whatever you're going to do with them.   I hope you have your boxes.  If you can't get any from grocery stores, etc., you may need to purchase them from a Uhaul store, or some place.


Like the other poster said, if you have pets, have a plan for them on moving day.  Either crate them early or put them in a room with a sign on the door or something so they don't get lost or stressed out.


Good luck and safe travels.


No Black Friday
No Black Friday thing this year because I didn't see anything that jumped out at me in the sale papers....until dh told me about Walmart's secret items that they just found out about on Wednesday. They had a computer tower, mouse and keyboard for 148 bucks. (you had to supply your own monitor). I thought they would be great for the boys. It was one to a customer so I recruited Kristi (my 19 year) to come with me. I was up and out the door at 3:30, planning to pick Kristi up and be in line by 4 for the 5am sale. Walmart had their greeters handing out maps so that you could find the sale items and get in the right line. I was all over that store because these computers were not where the map said they were. I asked lots of associates and got pointed in lots of directions and I was MOVING man! LOL Kristi was like, MOM, it's 4 in the morning, slow down. You have to forgive her, she's never been to a Black Friday sale. I teased her that she should be able to keep up with an old lady. LOL

Finally, I'm back to the place on the map, with a huge sign pointing down to where those computers are supposed to be and flag down a manager, who goes in the back and checks. He comes back out to me and says that they never got any!!! What??? You never got any?? And he says there are no rainchecks either since they never got them. What?????

So that was the end of that. I did end up getting, on a whim, two gamer chairs...the last two they had. They were on sale for less than half of what they usually are. I NEVER buy things on a whim, but I figured if I bought them and decided it wasn't a good idea, I could always return them. If I didn't buy them and THEN decided it WAS a good idea, I'd be kicking myself.

At least I didn't walk out of there with nothing so that the entire trip wasn't a waste, right?? LOL

If you went to the sales in the wee hours of the morning, how did you do? Did you get what you went for?

School out on Friday in MS.....wish they

It's Friday in Indiana nm

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYBODY!!!!
Hope everyone has a blessed weekend!

Black Friday
My husband and I always shop on Black Friday, but if there's something we really want he goes out at about 4:00-5:00 in the morning to get it and then comes back to get me at around 9:00. I'm not a morning person at all. I usually don't go to bed unti 4:00 a.m. because of work so the thought of getting up that early doesn't appeal to me. We leave the kids at my parents where we spend Thanksgiving. Then we go out to a fantastic Greek Restaurant for lunch then back to grandma and grandpa and then travel back home an hour away. Then the next day it's off to cut down our Christmas tree.
black friday
I went one time...and won't do it again.  I guess it would be better if I had someone to go with, but even then it gets crazy!  Good luck to you!  I will stay at home on Black Friday & shop online! 
Black Friday

Where did you go?


What time you started?


What did you buy?


Yes, i'm very nosey.


BLACK FRIDAY
Stayed home just relaxing -- when I heard earlier on NPR that a Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death when a crowd of early shoppers pushed in the front doors! They said the store was on Long Island, but gave no town. Guess what? I grew up on Long Island (that's NY) but have lived in Maine for years -- haven't seen a crowd yet! Bargains will still be there tomorrow.
Rosie

I never go out on Black Friday...SM
We live in an unstable environment, I feel at least.  And I woudlnt feel safe going to a store on this day.  In fact, I do all my shopping before Thanksgiving, mainly just to avoid lines, crowds, and out of stocks, but in the last few years I also have to safety into my mix of reasons for my early shopping.  Crazy world!! 
Black Friday

I never go out on Black Friday.  Of course, this year I had a little help staying home....a terrible cold, which also made Thanksgiving less enjoyable.  Feeling a little better, but still in bed.


I know people who live for this day.  Sorry, I don't care how good the sale is, it ain't worth it.


Black Friday....

I don't bother with it. I'm at the point in my life now where if I want it or need to get it as a present, I'm not real concerned with how much it is. I would rather sleep in, take a leisurely drive to the store (or shop on line), buy it and if it's on sale great; if not, oh well, makes no difference to me. My last Black Friday purchases were Cabbage Patch dolls (the FIRST incarnation of them many years ago) for my daughters. That was enough for me.


Actually, something very exciting for Friday
YooHoo, banner day. I am supposed to receive my very first full retirement check then. I am sooooooooo excited.
I had a miscarriage Friday night...sm

8 weeks into the pregnancy.  Yesterday I e-mailed my friends/family the entries I had made in a journal starting the day after I found out I was pregnant.  If you're interested in reading the various emotions that I've (and others that have been through a similar situation) been through then keep reading (Rick is my husband, Kyley is my stepdaughter and Kerstin is our foster child we're adopting)....


October 21, 2006:

Yesterday we found out that we were going to be your parents.  Your dad & I were VERY excited when the home pregnancy test was positive & later in the day Dr. Desai confirmed that I am 4-5 weeks pregnant with you.  I've had dreams for a couple of months that we had a baby and for the past 2 weeks I've had dreams every night about having you & your being at various ages from pregnancy to newborn to toddler age.  I fully believe God was telling me through my creams that you were already growing in me & I didn't realize it yet. 

 

I love your dad VERY much & we very much want you and have planned for you from the day we got married.  We haven’t told anyone else about you except for my friend Lisa but will tell the others soon.  We know that everyone will be excited to know that you’re joining our family. 


 


Over the past week I’ve had a few times where I felt like you do when you go over a dip in the road too fast.  I know these sensations are you moving around in my womb.  Dad is already rubbing my tummy & talking to you because we want you to know how much we love you.  I love saying things to you & rubbing my belly as well – it feels so good knowing you’re in there – God’s gift to us.  We love you!   Mom


 


 


October 22nd:


Today we told Kyley, Kerstin, grandparents, aunts & uncles about you.  Everyone is excited & eager to meet you next summer.  Kerstin was so happy she danced & kept screaming “we’re going to have a baby!” then asked me to take her to Target to buy you some things.  She wanted to buy you a lot of things but I told her that we had to hold off a little bit as we could get somethings now & more later.  I love you, baby Oldham!   Mom


 


 


October 23rd: 


Today we told our friends about you.  They’re all eager to meet you in the future!  For lunch I had Spaghetti-O’s and about an hour later I could feel you moving all around – so I think you like them! 


 


Kertsin likes talking to you & telling you that she loves you whether you’re a boy or a girl – but she thinks she wants a brother.  We’ll see as time progresses. Love, Mom.


 


 


October 25th:


Kerstin stopped people in the hallways at choir tonight telling them about you.  We’re so excited! 


 


 


October 29th:


We had a busy weekend, baby.  Your nana sent you some booties.  We went to Kerstin’s soccer game, the Smyrna Jonquil Festival, church & Drew’s soccer game and and didn’t  make me feel sick at all.  However, some Wendy’s french fries with supper didn’t settle well with indigestion agalore.  Dad & I love you & are excited that this week you grow arms, legs, eye rims, intestines & pancreas.  You’ll be quite busy for sure!  Love, Mom.


 


October 30th:


Hello sweetheart!  I continue to have occasional sensations of you & love every minute of it & knowing you’re growing inside of me.  You are very much loved by me, your dad and sisters.  Love forever, Mom.


 


 


October 31st:


We had our 1st Halloween with your being a part of our family.  While at the church fall festival tonight Rick & I looked at the babies there & commented that next year you’ll be 4 months old by then.  We can’t wait to dress you up & show you off! 


 


Your dad has given me 2 very sweet toy stuffed baby dolls to remind me of your coming in the future.  Your have a GREAT dad who is very excited to have you growing in me.  We all love you very much!  Love, Mom.


 


 


November 2nd:


Hi angel from God!  I love you & want you to know that you are a true gift from God to your dad & myself.  We love you immensely.  Love, Mom. 


 


 


November 5th:


Hi Sweetie!  You’re entering your 7th week of growth.  This week you’ll start developing your fingers, toes, eyes, ears, nose, intestines, & teeth.  Dad & I are very excited thinking about seeing you on ultrasound on the 13th. We love you immensely & look forward to being your Mom & Dad.  Love, Mom


 


 


November 7th:


Hello honey!  I’ve had yet another wonderful day with you continuing to grow inside of me.  I still have indigestion after eating & occasional flutter sensations, but both are neat because I know that they come from you.  Dad & I love you VERY much!   Love, Mom


 


 


November 9th:


Hi “Baby O” – life has been great this week knowing you’re working hard at growing to be an incredible child.  Your dad & I went to an OB class at the doctor’s office tonight where they talked about your upcoming arrival.  We both love you VERY much & look forward to your 1st photograph on Monday.  Love, Mom.


 


 


November 11th:


Little angel, we had a good day today.  Dad, Kyley, Kerstin & I went to the zoo & we look forward to taking you there in the future.  Dad & I went to Hobby Lobby where dad picked the softest yarn for me to make you an afghan with.  I started this project tonight.  You’ve had a busy week with all of the growing you had scheduled to complete.  In 2 days we get to see how well you’re doing.  We love you!  Mom & Dad


 


 


November 13th:


Hello honey, we went to the doctor’s office today for the ultrasound & found out that you’re not as big as we expected.  They drew lab work on me & will repeat it on Wednesday to see if you’re OK.  Dad & I are trying to not worry & remember that your life is in God’s hands.  We’re praying that He hasn’t called you to heaven & that you’ll continue to be with us still here on earth.  We love you sweetie.  Love, Mom


 


 


November 14th:


Little angel, Dad & I were at the doctor’s office again today because I started having some bleeding this morning.  Dr. Morell & the staff were great & sympathetic, and it’s too early to know what will happen.  The good news is that you are still in me.  I’ll go back tomorrow for more blood work.  They’ve put me at bedrest for a couple of days.  Dad dreamed last night that you were OK so we’re trying to stay positive with that & my dreams I’ve had before & after we found out that I was  pregnant & you were fine.   You’re in God’s hands now for the final outcome.  We love you honey.  Love always, Mom.


 


 


November 15th:


Hello sweetie!  We found out that yesterday’s HCG level was good & high.  Tomorrow we get the results of the Monday & today’s tests.  We continue to hop & pray that the numbers are going up.  I didn’t work today.  The bleeding is less but still present.  We’re still rooting for you honey.  We love you very much!  Love, Mom

Hi honey!  We found out this morning that my lab work was inconclusive  so they’re repeating the HCG tomorrow.  We’ve got a lot of people praying for you, Dad & I that you’ll continue to grow & this scare will end soon.  I did work today but was able to take breaks to rest & didn’t do much of anything else.  Dad & I love you tons.  Love, Mom

Hello little angel in heaven.  Dad & I were devastated to find out that you will not be joining us here on earth but instead are already in heaven on yesterday.  Please know that we both loved you while you were in my womb & look forward to the day in our future when we meet you in heaven.  We love you,  Mom


Black Friday Purchase
I didn't get up, but my DH was out of the house by 4:00 to get to Walmart. He actually said it was pretty civilized although it was mobbed. He ended up getting a portable DVD player for our daughter for Christmas and picked up a second one for a friend who didn't want to tackle the crowds. It was on sale for just $50. We did go out after (around 10:00 and got a few more bargains.
Oh dear. SD is having surgery Friday. SM
She already has had thyroid cancer with metastatic nodes, which she survived at 18. Very traumatic.

Now I'm nervous, because I was afraid of throat swelling and this surgeon sounds much too cocky.

I'm sure she will be fine. Just worrying. She is very sweet and I think of her as my own daughter.
