Dragging trolley onto new thread.

oh hnd that's a bugger

Good luck for today really xx

HND - bugger about the boob, - my God you must be fed up with it by now!

Hello and welcome to Donna

I see we've had a loon posting again (at least I presume it was a loon - as its been deleted - where do they come from?? )

What did George say was it just rubbish about working at home again ?
Shooting sorry about your dad hope hes ok, I agree with you though glad he's still enjoying himself !

Hnd can't believe you are having such bad luck what a pain, hope you get it sorted once and for all

Kitkat lunch was only a sandwich at morrisons cafe today nothing posh ! Had nice walk round the shops though and bought stuff for dds cooking at school tomorrow, it's chilli this week

Reminder the orange ones new series is on itv2 at 9pm tonight !

Shooting - sorry about your Dad - broken collar bone is no fun at all - he sounds like a chap who enjoys life though, so good for him! (I remember my Dad saying to me when he was in his early eighties that he felt just the same in his head as he did when he was 21, and it was very annoying that his body was falling apart a bit!)

Talking of parents mine are naturists and are away in the uk this week at a naturist resort with an outside pool and I keep thinking brrr they must be freezing

kitkat I can't remember how long you have been on here but this wound has been open since January 2013 !!!! I have had numeraous wound pouches, dressings, a vacuum pump and more dressings on it and it is very very tiresome. It was as a result of fat necrosis which started after my reconstruction surgery. Even wrapping myself in cotton wool doesn't seem to work ... and lol ..... mine and topsy's partying consists of sitting on our bums in my kitchen drinking and eating !

Oh my gosh! I just gasped at your parents being naturalists malt sorry many tv sketches sprung to mind.

pigeons sorry to hear about you dad although he sound like a game sort: my mum is 80 in April next year and is still out partying all the time.
If he is anywhere in the Berkshire area and needs someone to ride his horse while he mends give me a shout.

Oh and hand and tipsy; ha ha am learning to love auto correct that should br hnd and topsy your style of partying would suit me down to the ground.

Hi all

Thankyou for all the support. I was a complete and utter nervous wreck, all morning. Then half an hour away from going I decided that it was nothing to worry about. What will be, will be and me worrying isn't going to change what's happening inside my body.

The scan itself was fine, all very organised so not too much waiting around. Which was great.

Just the one small drama. The nurse who put the cannula in my hand, wasn't quite quick enough with the little cap thing, and my blood was all over my gown, the floor and her!!! Whoops!!! She was very apologetic. But I said not to worry, at least I didn't have to do the washing!!

Still waiting to hear back from my BCN, really do want to try and see her. I can't decide whether I am being really impatient about how long everything is taking. Or if this is the norm and I need to realise that they deal with this every day, and they are dealing with it the best way they can. I just feel that I haven't really moved forward since the beginning of August.

Anyway, hope everyone else is doing okay. Xxxx

Oh really - glad it went ok (but for horrid Canula experience - they always seem to be crap at doing them in scan places).

Hnd- my back is weeping in sympathy with your scar but grr about it popping open.

My arm is aching like hell today - think I may have overdone it. So painkiller up tonight.

Am at naturist too -malt you catching up on downton .

Well Malt - that is unexpected news about your parents - would not have guessed that one!! Did you have to be one as well until you left home ???
And guess what DD came home with a list of ingredients for cooking tomorrow - apparently they were on a trip when they shoudl have had the list (!!) - it's scotch eggs so DH is pleased - me less so as I had to make a mercy dash to Tesco straight after tea.

Glad it went well Really - I think I had my CT on a Thursday and the results on the Tuesday evening - not long but made for a very long weekend. When do you get your results?

HND - when I joined you had the pump - after reading for a while I had to ask about it as I think you and Gig had one and I was rather concerned that it was a standard piece of kit. Of course I have since realised that only special people (or wounds) need them. You'd better get yourself healed soon then or you might make it to a year .

too @ naturist parents !! there's naturist swimming session at our pool on Sunday evenings -it'd solve my getting out of my swimming costume problem !
Poor dad pigeons - hope he mends soon - my father still sails at 80 and goes to the gym.
Sorry that your arm is hurting gig
And well done really I thought the pretty pink colour in my canula was the attractive tubing but on second thoughts realised it was blood.

Forgot to day Gig that I am part way through Series 7 of Grey's Anatomy so not many more episodes left. Will be craking open Private Practice soon as I think I will have lots of sleepness nights if on weekly chemo as I think you get quite a lot of steroids (or at least it just comes round very quickly).

BTW - has anyone had Paclitaxel (weekly) - probably someone with mets as I think that NICE have not approved it for early BC in the UK?

Kitkat you are ahead of me as I have been splurging on private practice so behind on greys ( only series 4).

At naturist pool session.

Lovely smiley new little Gigs photos .

She is not so smiley now- we are going thru a bedtime ( and sleep) evasion phase.

I wish I knew when I would get the results. But with the surgeon away on holiday, I don't seem to be able to get any information on anything. Which is why I am really hoping to see my BCN soon!!

It's the not knowing what's happening that's driving me nuts. Hopefully I will get some answers soon!!

Hope you all have a lovely evening. Xxx

ha. i guess the smileyness is not so cute at night and early the morning when they are getting you up.

DD was really cute at 6am when she was a baby - everything seemed to go down hill after that as she got more and more tired during the day!! (mind you can't complain as she did sleep 12 hrs a night from a tiny baby - but always had to go to bed early so I just kept similar hours until she got older).

No I didn't join in thankfully they didn't really get into it till I was in my teens. We've learnt not to ask to see the holiday photos anymore

Really the waiting is awful and one of the things that surprised me, I always thought with cancer things would happen quickly but they don't unfortunately

I'm waiting till everyone's out and I've got some peace to watch downton, might even wait till I feel rough will give me something to look forward to

Naturists ???
You slipped that one in Malt

Naturists ? Well I never. We have a famous naturist beach near here and I had a near miss with an inquisitive jack Russell and a lady with some intimate piercings a few years ago. I am scarred for life mentally and can never take a dog there again.

I wrote a long post earlier and lost it which added to my terrible temper. I am terrible at the moment and so very bad tempered I can't be bothered to write it all out again.

Tomorrow I am off for blood tests and my radioactive injection and the way I feel I know something will go wrong. Scan on wed, ultrasound on Friday and now the fear of the results is starting. I am trying. It to think about it but I just have a feeling it will not be good news. Sorry to be so fed up I hope to feel better soon, no news on the house front is not helping.

Jenkins, sorry you are in a fearful temper. Is there an inanimate object you can vent your fury on ?
The Jack Russell story made me though

NJ - I know the beach of which you speak - DD and I had a close encounter with a naturist there - we had wandered onto the naturist bits whilst absorbed in looking for sea shells, I was walking sort of bent over (to scan the shoreline for shells)then I glanced up and found myself eye level with an old mans bits and bobs. He was just standing there in about three inches of water, contemplating life and enjoying being nude I suppose.

Sorry you are feeling awful, I really feel for you having to be without your thyroid meds and knowing how that messes with one's mind and body, and dealing with your scans and house stuff too. You have a hell of a lot on your plate xx

Malt - it is warm in my neck of the woods so perhaps your parents will not be too freezing - I wouldn't brave an outdoor pool at this time of the year though - even with clothes on!

really - eek at cannula mishap, but at least that's one more thing done. I know how you feel about all the waiting - I had to wait over two months between my mastectomy and my node clearance, and it feels like forever - so , - hang on in there xx

Love to all - we are having a new (rented not bought) telly delivered tomorrow - sometime between 8 am and 6 pm so may be stuck in the house all day.

I have been on that beach twice, once in the 70s when it was possibly not actually a naturist beach but I still have the picture of us dragging someone's shorts and undies off. Actually come to think of it since this particular bloke was so fond of getting his kit off, we may have been trying to make him keep them on.... Then again a few year ago, goondog wisely on lead as he can't resist sniffing a crotch at the best of times nj You really are going through it, no wonder you have a feeling of dread, but this too will pass.

malt you did keep that quiet! i have gone nude, on a Greek beach, and it is a nice feeling but in England it for some reason brings to mind a mental image of men barbecuing sausages and couples playing tennis......

gigs sorry about your arm being so painful. Take it easy. Hope it will be good for an outing next week, it's not booked up, I checked, so we can wait and see.

Thanks for thoughts on Dad, he looks a bit knocked back and it looks as though A&E doctor failed to examine him properly and see that the broken bone had come through the skin, the nurse who had spotted it earlier had told Mum he should have anti biotics but then doctor didn't mention it to Dad who was obviously in shock He refuses to go back before his check up tomorrow afternoon so hopefully there won't be a problem.

foofoo thanks for offer but it would be a 200 mile commute!
