Kat, with all that I have going I still enough hugs and prayers to send your way. Thinking of you honey.

I'm home. It hurt. I know nothing. That's my day!!!

LOL, pathetic but true!!!

They did a skin scrape biopsy of the area that is affected on the skin. Then they did another ultrasound, and another mammogram, getting an idea how to go in for needle biopsy without going through the area where the skin has issue, so as not to contaminate the sample. They finally decided and went for it. They did 3 core biopsies. They hurt, but the magnification compression they had the section of my breast under, was so friggin' painful, the needles were not as bad as I anticipated. So they smashed, then poked 3-4 times, and I was soooo relieved, until they actually released the pressure, and it hurt even worse--WTH??? LOL I kept thinking, it will ease, I will go home, ditch the bra, and kick back. Then he told me I would be better and less painful, to keep it on, and maintain the support for a few hours. Grrrrr!! Figures huh??!!

About 2 minutes after we got to the hospital, while I was waiting to be registered, the woman ahead of me was being signed in, and the computers went down, the entire server was down. So they did it all by hand, and it was still down when I left. So who knows if that will interfere with my results.

At any rate, that part is over with, and on we go from here. Hope it is all worry for nothing.

Got Kinsey back from my Mom and she is sleeping on the couch. I am really tempted to go join her on the sofa and sleep! But Rick took me to lunch, and it is too soon for me to lay down, I would reflux.....dangit!

I think I will kick my recliner back maybe tho. I feel exhausted, this messes with my mind in serious!

Will be in later. Thanks for all the well wishes, and prayers, I KNOW they help!

Hi ya'll

Kat, glad you are back

Jolly - nice to hear from you, it is crazy time of year

I'm having a sad day, you know me, I put on a giant front to pretend that I'm ok with everything and then have a bad day, tomorrow is another day so I'm going to allow it.

How's that? LOL

always find humor.

Kat: does Kinsey also have a rash or any sores on her hands? My daughter when she was small she had what is called hand, foot, and mouth disease. It is actually a fairly common virus. The worst of it was the horrible sores in her mouth and throat. She didn't want to eat for several days due to the pain it caused. I had to apply the liquid benadryl to the sores with a cotton swab. It was not a pretty time.

Paula: welcome to our thread.

Tracy: happy packing! I am so excited for you.:thumbup:

Jennifur: I am not doing so bad, but Erica is a different story; however, the doc she saw last week has upped her prednisone to 60mg a day and it actually has her in less pain, but crawling the walls, like steroids do; she goes back on the 18th and we should know more then. Enjoy planning your trip to Florida! We just went during Thanksgiving.

Thanks to you all for the prayers for her.

Kat-I am glad you are done with that. I was cringing when I read your post. How long before you get any results? (((hugs)))

I will post again in the morning....I am pooped :thumbup:

Good Morning all

just another day, don't know what itt is going to bring yet. I might start tanning to get some light, it is so yuck out and that might not be helping my state of mind.

have stuff to do today so that might help too :biggrin:

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who needs them. I don't know if I have mentioned this lately but I glad you are all in my life, we are all very special and I don't know where I would be without you guys. :thumbup:

[TracyK 3]

Love you too Jenn! :thumbup:

New Goal Alert!! New Goal Alert!! (should be easy, especially if I wire my mouth shut, lol)

This is what I am striving for....to lose at least 5 pounds a month until my dsd Sweet 16 Party which at the end of July. We are having a really big party, renting the hall, DJ and the whole 9 yards. We are splitting costs with her mom so it is very doable and it will be very fun. I want to at least be knocking one onederlands door again. I AM going to look good (better)...

Can I get a HELL YEAH?! (or heck will do) :thumbup:

[Kat817 19]

You got my Hell Yeah Tracy!!! What a great incentive that will be! I felt so inspired yesterday when I walked out of the hospital, and it was pushing 40 degrees, I wanted to go walking, and take the kids to the park, all kinds of things! Of course, everything is still covered in snow, so those things only appealled until reality set in!!! I am so ready for spring!!!

When I look back, over my personal log, it is not as detailed as time goes on...but it verified that I always stall during the winter. I have had my band since 2006, and every winter, I seem to totally stall out, and then come Spring, I drop pretty quickly. Some of you got the FEVER with the new year, that for some reason never lights me up! But it is the weather. Wonder if I have mild seasonal disorder???? At any rate it gives me hope for Spring. This spring and summer, I am getting back down to my goal weight, and plan to stay there this time! LOL

Saying that I HAVE to laugh. Yesterday in radiology waiting to go back for the biopsy, I grabbed a magazine (I was stressing! I NEVER usually read mags in Dr.'s offices or places like that full of germs!)It happened to be "O" Oprahs magazine. In it was an article on "How to successfully keep the weight off" and all her pics she was super thin. I looked at the date and the magazine was from 2004!!! WTH? The magazine looked new! Someone had apparantly just donated them, but 6 yrs old??? Anyway, she needs to reread the article I believe!

I tell myself if I had someone cooking all my meals for me, healthy, and tasty, and could afford a personal trainer, and afford ANY type of exercise I wanted to do. I mean if I woke up and wanted to walk on a beach, and could afford to go anywhere in the world to walk on a beach.....I would not have an issue with weight. I think I am wrong tho, I would probably be just like Oprah, and fight it anyway. Why she does not have a band or something I don't know, she wants the weight gone.

Cindy, the Dr. looked at Kinsey's hands and feet--she took off her shoes and socks, and said the sores are simple canker sores, but they are soooooo bad. My gosh, she has tears running down her face to eat a pancake. She cries out in her sleep Manda said. Today she seems less swollen. I hope it improves.

I have been hyper paranoid with my grandkids the last couple of days. Between yesterday and today, there were 5 obituaries in our little paper for 4 & 5 year old kids. One was a friend of our DD's from school, that lost her 4 yr old son---we don't know how. And the other horrible thing was that the 4 they detailed in the obituaries, 3 of them had birthdays 1 or 2 days before they died. Seriously! Birthdates were Jan. 6th, 7th, and 8th. And they died on the 8th and 9th. The other one would have had a birthday on the 23rd of this month. That one, the picture showed, obvious problems. But the other 3 showed no problems, and the obits did not ask for donations to anything like Childrens Cancer Research or anything.....just wierd,and scary. No stories about local kids and H1N1. No idea.

My MIL said one of the little girls died in a fire.

When I read all of them last night, it sure made me feel less stressed over ME. I would go through this everyday before wanting to go through what those poor families are.

Did any of you read Pamela's story about the little girl in her class? She spent NYE night with a friend, and while she was away, her home burned, killing her entire family.

No matter, we are all blessed beyond belief! We are so lucky nothing of that magnitude is in our lives.

Trying to come up with something Kinsey might want to try to eat........wish me luck!

[Suziecat 379]

Hell Yeah to Tracy. Keep up the good work.

Busy all day long running my ass off. Just got home from work and putting my feet up for awhile and than to bed. Workout in the morning comes early.

Hope everyone is doing good.

[TracyK 3]

Good morning friends!

I am sorry I havent posted as much as I normally do but I know you all understand I am SO busy packing and getting things ready for the movers. They will be here at 8 AM sharp. I am so excited :woot:

Kat-I am one of those that I know when I am ready when I wake up one morning and say, 'this is it'. Weird, can not explain it. But I am sure you know what I mean. Now if I could wake up everyday like that it would work out perfectly. lol I am so sorry abut poor little Kinsey. Poor babygirl. I feel for her. I remember when Macy was about 2 and a half she had a UTI and would scream when she had to potty. It hurt me so bad to see her hurting!

Suzanne-have a good workout this morning :thumbup:

Jenn, Cindy, Laura, Michelle and everyone.... :w00t: hi there and have a SUPER day.

[TracyK 3]

MOVING DAY!!!!!!!

I am signing off until we get reconnected at the new house. Hopefully today....

PS, ya'll talk too much! lol

[gone 4 ever 6]

Good luck with the move Tracy.

Hello every one. Blessings to you all.

I haven't been feeling good so I haven't been posting. White blood count down to 6 and running a fever. I am worn out.

Kat I felt your pain as you described the procedure. I am so sorry it was so bad. How is your DGD doing now? I pray she is better,

Have a good day every one:thumbup:

[heartfire 4]

Hey Y'all!

Just checking in. Waking up to reality and the fact that I'm BACK in the 180's again. :w00t: Got in yesterday for a fill. Yep, I'm feeling it. Took me over an hour to eat a bowl of instant oatmeal this AM! Am also having to slow down on my drinking. I was able to drink a full glass of Water in one shot. Not good!

Kat you are in my prayers. Lots of hugs to you. I'm glad Rick is home, too.

Cindy, still praying for your DD.

Laura, things sound crazy for you right now. Take care!

Tracy, I'm so excited for you! Hope the move goes great!

Jenn, hang in there, Hon. Your trip sounds wonderful!

Suzie, I don't remember anything about your sister going in to the hospital. I'm so sorry and hope she gets out soon. Try not to wear yourself out in the meantime.

Paula, it's ALWAYS good to "see" you. I'm sorry you're having a rough time right now. Praying that your treatments are working on that nasty cancer.

~~~~~

Right on track and doing well with all the work stuff right now. It's always a crazy month for me and I highly dislike it. But it is what it is and will be over soon enough.

Feeling so much better about having gotten in to see my doc and get a fill. I feel like I might be in control again.

Very windy today. Sun is shining but I'm cold. AND it's 61 out on the front porch! Sorry! (It's only 65 in the house, need to build a fire.) We are expecting a full week of rain/snow storms and I can't wait! They're talking about having to measure the higher elevation snow in YARDS instead of FEET!! Predicting nearly 10 inches of rain for my elevation and 6 inches or so for the valley floor!! WhooHoo!!!

Well, I'd better get off my butt and get some things done today. Starting with a fire in the wood stove!

Have a beautiful day!
