You know how I looked at it? I tried to validate keeping my ovaries for (sm)
Posted By: Kokopoo on 2007-02-12
In Reply to: Thanks Kokopoo. I feel more encouraged now. My biggest worry is the - Just me
for the exact same reasons you are, but then when I thought about the risks involved, I then justified it in my heart and mind that a total complete hysterectomy was to be my path because I was afraid of anything metastazing to other organs, etc. In the long run, I figured I would have to lose the ovaries no matter what (whether it be now or years later), but the fear of me having been able to prevent it when I had the chance made me very comfortable with my decision.
I really can say that I have not experienced any side effects at all from it, but I do feel more at peace mentally just knowing that I have one less thing to worry about. Of course, this is not saying it will never reoccur somewhere else (God forbid), but I took care of the immediate problem completely.
I am going to continue you in my prayers and please let us know when you are going in so that we can all be here for support. Your decision is the best one you can make for your friends, family and especially for YOU. ((((hugs))))

Kokopoo, did you have ovaries and uterus out? nm

PS: Yes, I kept the ovaries. But the cervix was removed, - (sm)
which was a good thing, because on routine exam in preparation for the surgery, they found precancerous changes in the cervix. So good riddance to that, too.
Ooops! I forgot.... OVARIES still there.

That should be keepING
How do I get 100% on QA checks, but yet I can't type a simple post? I do the same thing with my school papers. My professor's look at me and say "YOU'RE a medical transcriptionist?"
How old are you now? Think the key is keeping yourself

keeping tabs
My daughter travels around the country for business and she is the only employee that calls her employer when she arrives on site and when she returns home. They really appreciate this.

keeping a secret
taking addiction too seriously is a mistake. Keeping it a dirty little secret is a mistake. Hiding "Pa" in the basement because he is an embarrassment is a mistake. There is NOTHING shameful about being addicted to a substance. I hardly think there is one person on this board who does not know someone on antidepressants or takes them and that is considered healthy? But medicating depression with vodka is shameful?
The best disinfectant is light.
regarding keeping the car tuned up and possible breakdowns(sm)
It can happen to ANYONE at ANY time. I had a brand new 2003 car. Six months off the lot and I'm stranded in a mall parking lot because the ignition switch died. No warning. No symptoms. It was just DEAD! At the time (Thanksgiving) it wasn't that cold out; however, I had gone out with a light jacket and no cell phone thinking there was no possible way I was going to wind up stranded anywhere because the car was reliable. Now I don't go anywhere without the cell phone and a heavy coat when it's cold out. AND there is always a set of botts in the trunk just in case. I'm happy that you don't have to worry about blizzards and cold temperatures; however, I'd be re-thinking your preparedness attitude.
I am keeping the journal going and in addition...sm
I bought a ceramic cross yesterday with 1 Samuel 1:27 on it which says "For This Child I prayed". I wrote the baby's nickname that my husband & I called it, the EDC and "went to heaven" dates on the front of the cross and it's hanging in our living room next to our family photo.
Keeping the spark in your marriage...
For those who have been married for a number of years and are still in love with your spouse, how do you keep that "spark"?
Spare us the intimate details , but share with us how you and your spouse keep the flames of love a' burnin!

Why is there any controversy about keeping a maiden name?
I've "kept" mine. I also added my husband's name. Anyone who knows me as my children's mother uses my husband's last name when they address me. It's not wrong, so I don't correct them. There's no need. But my driver's license has my first name, my maiden name, and then my husband's name, no hyphen. (Hyphenation is clumsy, IMO, and causes so many problems when people are trying to find your name on alpha lists.)
I loved my father very much, and I had a wonderful family growing up. I was named for my father and we were very close. It's part of who I am. I want to keep that name because he gave it to me, and a very special gift it was, too! I also love my husband very much, and we built a family together. That also is part of who I am. He offered me his name as a gift to me, as well. I was glad to accept it, as well. I proudly use both names.
Yet, I've run into quite a few people who get quite angry and upset over MY name. I have a friend who married a Texan. When he found out that I continue to use my maiden name, he turned to my husband and said, "And you let her do that?" My husband's reply: "She's my wife, not my child. It's not for me to give her a name. And if it's none of my business, then it's certainly none of YOUR business."
That's why I love him!
In keeping with the question down below about in-laws...
We have all done our best to accept my brother's wife, but she grates on everybody's nerves. Now, that we can handle, but a few years back my mom bought a new (second-hand) car and gave her old car to my brother. She even gave them $500 to buy new tires for the car.
Then, when my mom's "new" car turned out to be a lemon and had to be in the shop for a week, my SIL refused to let my mom use HER OWN CAR that she had given them while her "new" car was in the shop - even though my SIL was NOT working and my brother had a car to go back and forth to work.
Yes, I know my brother needs to grow a backbone already, but that kind of set the tone for my SIL's relationship with the whole family.
So - what's your in-law story?
Keeping kitties off the counter...
I have always had good luck with this. Cover your counters entirely with aluminum foil. Tape it down. Leave it a day or two. The kitties absolutely hate the feeling of the foil under their paws and won't go back. I have even used this on the back of a sofa and it worked there too. The picture of you sitting there by the tree, in wait with the squirt gun is priceless. All this kitty talk, I'm getting ready to go to the shelter and get me another little furball of love. Wise
I love keeping out trash
like the person described above next door to her, love that have not seen 1 home here that is boarded up and reposssed, love that animals are not allowed to roam all over the place, love no cars sitting on blocks and junking up the neighborhood, love my neighbors are friendly, quiet and don’t have beer parties at all hours of the night, love the beautiful landscaping of our yards- in all just love being here in my little section of heaven.
Keeping tabs and silver platters
I'm in my 50s, but because I'm female and usually travel alone, I make sure someone in the family knows what plane/train I'm on or the general route I'm driving and I call them when I get there and when I get home. Usually, I just leave a message because it's roaming minutes on the cell, but they know I'm OK. That way, they don't worry without cause. Should they ever have cause, then they can tell the cops where to start looking for me.
On another note, perhaps your son doesn't value what he's been given because it has been given to him on a silver platter. I didn't have a car until I could buy it myself. I had small scholarships to a private school, but my dad paid most of it - and it cost the same as buying a new car every year (which was not his style). If I had pulled anything even vaguely resembling what your son did, I'd have been pulled out of school at the end of the semester and brought home to find a job I could walk to in my little rural town. I'd have been paying room and board at home, too, until I found a place to live. When I came to my senses and came crawling back to dad for help, he might have cosigned a loan to send me to the regional state school in the next town over, a fate worse than death. I knew for a fact dad would do this if I got out of line or got bad grades, so I made sure I never did.
Still keeping the windows open, even at night
Here in So. Indiana, we are finally past the heat wave and really having some enjoyable weather.. but are still desperate for some rain. Won't even thinking about burning any wood in the stove until December.
machio-man:.....'that she is not keeping up the deal on her end.'
Does he? To make it believable he should have included pictures (from himself, not from his son!)
If this story really took place, I bet, judging from her answer, that this conversation was not done in a joking and amicable manner.
Can't give you any advice of keeping plants alive, I'm
lucky my children are still living. LOL!
Keeping that part of my life separate sounds best -
I have been asked on dates but just have not been interested. I feel stuck just wishing we could all be a normal family again (the 4 of us). I even think ahead to when I'm a grandma down the road and still can't picture me with a new man! I don't know, maybe I'm just destined to remain alone unless I met the guy who was a perfect fit with my kids.
Similar thing here about a friend keeping in touch
Over the past 40+ years one of my girlfriends had stayed in touch with me until she had a son who died about 2-3 years ago. I made the big mistake, I guess, of repeating some things she herself had said when he was alive and basically she quit talking after that. Oh, well, she was the one who always needed helping and emotional support, had 2 sons who were either alcoholic or druggies or both and ran herself silly over grown men always bending over backwards, taking money she got from social security and paying their bills, letting them mooch off her, with her giving them cell phones so they could stay in touch, acted as if they were 4 years old, just literally enabling them to run her crazy. I guess I made the mistake of repeating what she had told me (and everyone else she knew).
ROFLMAO!! But hey, with that humor, she probably doesn't stay mad long! Good for her keeping you.
dodging the bullets! Keeps it interesting! And keeps you honest! ![Cowgirl](http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_4_124.gif")

I would definitely let them know even if he looked okay. - sm
If you are afraid of confrontation with them, maybe call 911 and let the police handle telling them. This way if they do anything flaky like try to file charges you are covered by telling the police your story. Please give yourself a break, who leaves their dog out all day so that it can sleep in the road? They are lucky he had not been hit before this.
It looked exactly like something from
The Donnie and Marie Show back in the 70s. I still admire her and am glad she made it as far as she did.
Thank you Thank you!!! I have looked
and looked for a previous post I saw over the holidays with this website in it but couldn't find it. Have been so bummed about not being able to get on there. I LOVE this site!!! :)
We want to be looked at as professionals but
and just to say this post might be deleted but at least I have put down what I think. There are so many posts on her where MTs have lost the luster that we once had. I worked out of the home for 30+ years so it is a real privilege for me to have a job now that I don't have to leave home plus put up with traffic, plus put up with supervisors standing close by, plus office games others play and I could go on and on. I see posts on here on a very regular basis about how to tend to kids, how to really have a schedule, fitting time in for the laundry, etc. As long as MTs come across like this, how do you think the work force feels when they hear this? I went into this because I loved medicine and was above par typist and have made a really good living doing this. I have put aside all else while working, inhouse or out. When I have certain hours, unless dire emergency, those are what I work. I do not answer the phone, chit-chat with neighbors, take care of ironing, nothing else. I put my mind on my work and others should do the same. Working at home is a real privilege, not something to be taken advantage of.
Can you name the site you looked at? Thanks!

If I looked in the mirror too much . . .
I would see the devil. Yep, my mom was very religious. I actually didn't believe it. As a curious child I would stare into the mirror because I wanted to see him -never happened.
Just looked at the site sm
and no we just have a regular chainlink fence. We had the fence put up when we moved here 6 years ago for our dogs. Our first cat (11 yrs) was an indoor/outdoor cat before we moved here but was a bit timid so stayed very close to our old house but goes over the fence here all the time.
never heard of it, just looked it up. I will
have to show that to my son. Thanks!
I did not know what I had until I looked at the site
and it has worked for years for me. Having said that, in the process of having tooth implant in upper front, guess my canine tooth, not sure, the 1 next to the big 1 right in front. Very expensive, hope it is worth it. The flipper on bottom, works great!
Thanks...I looked up online and what I did was sm
picked it up in a very soft cloth and just looked to make sure it didn't look injured. There was no blood but I am not sure. I took the blanket and put it as close as I could guess where the nest might be. I will check later to see if it is still there. What I read says that the mom's come back once a night to feed the babies and to try to put them back in the nest if possible and that she will call them all when she comes to the nest, so hopefully we didn't miss that window and the little girl or guy can be snuggling with mom and brothers and sisters soon. I feel so bad for the poor thing :(
Went back and looked at her pic
I still don't see it. Maybe I am wrong and who knows what her life might be like now, but this woman looks hardened and certainly never soft.
so when you were little the world looked like
1941 - What an amazing year to be born.
Lets see what that looked like:

I am going in on Tuesday to get looked at - sm
and no, I do not want any more kids so hoping it is menopause going crazy all of a sudden. DH has been wanting me to get a TL for ages (and of course he won't get a vasectomy, one of those guys) but I was not ready to do that at 38....still at 43 I just don't want to do it, but not because I want more kids just all the horror stories, was thinking about an IUD or Essure (but did not want metal coils in me in case I ever needed a MRI since Essure is permanent) actually but now I might not have to worry about that either. I will get the exam and biopsy and see how it all goes, one step at a time, not going to work myself into a tizzy about it, no point.
You are so right. I never saw such junk as I looked at in these stores. Well I will be a lot more
careful what I buy and who made it. This was all made overseas. Just junk and not cheap.
I had a couple of ex-bosses that looked sm
exactly like the cave man although, LOL, one in particular was a female. They acted like they were from the cave man days as well.
I have looked casually at the Photoshop
in the store and that is more what I was thinking about. Do you know how it works? Do you actually create your page on the computer with pictures and fancy stuff and then can you print it off? Or what you create-is it simply a digital scrapbook? I like the sound of Creative Memories Memory Manager. How much does something like that cost? Someone had a booth set up at a convention that I went to and it seemed that they were pretty pricey!
I looked up the recipe and here we just call it
fried corn. It is really good and have had it lots in my life, mostly corn just scraped off the cobb with some bacon and butter. (I think her amount of butter is more than most of us use here in the south, she overdoes it with the butter). It might sound excessive but you are using mostly the corn as the base for your dish so not over the top like lots of her dishes are say with all that buttering and flouring she does!!
OMG! Same here, my hubs and I just looked at each other and said "oh no"!
we too thought the cable went out until we saw the credits. Extremely disappointing :(
Wow! Never knew I looked that good!!! LOL
thats hilarious!!!!
Looked on my box of Quaker oats 150 1/2 cup
!
I looked up the hummingbird cake it looks
I have to try it after I lose these holiday pounds LOL
I was failing miserably and then I looked at the end
and thought how sweet. I just love these animals we are in charge on here on earth.
I saw what looked like a good one called - sm
"Yoga For The Rest of Us". (Found it online). I was actually researching to see if yoga could be helpful for strengthening a bad back, and her exercises seem helpful. A few were posted and I tried them, liked them, and added them to my regular after-running stretching routine.
I've looked into buying them just to have
on-hand just in case, but there are sooooo many different kinds that I didn't even really know what to look for...
The dictionary that I looked in is American...sm
and it said stupider, stupidest when used as an adjective. So I guess it is American way too.
I guess I have always looked at this a little differently.....sm
I was taught and have always believed that a gift is just that....a gift, freely given without the feeling of being obligated to give in return. I was taught how to give freely by seeing my parents give freely and because they wanted to, not because they expected a gift in return.
That is how I have tried to teach my sons, by giving freely to them on their special days without expecting anything from them on days that are special to me. Sometimes I have received gifts, sometimes not, but I know that I always have the most important gift, that of their love, and they know they have my love as well.
Have you looked for local rescue groups?
Sometimes local rescue groups will help you to get your pet placed in a good home. I would do this before sending her to the pound or placing an ad.
