I do miss DH, but I've gotta say...when he did the overnight trips I slept really good...hogged the entire king size bed and slept almost sideways.

I HEAR you! I love sleeping alone. It is FANTASTIC! I am so used to it, I have a really hard time sleeping with him in the bed with me. Especially right now... I take up a lot more space in the bed then I used to.

They wanted to remove her cast today, have the CT scan done and then put a new cast on today. Then she would go back in on Monday, after the CT scan is read and they might remove the cast.

WHAT??!! I called the doctor and read them the riot act. At her last visit 6 weeks ago it was 80-90% healed. They want to put a new cast on today for only 3 days?? I told the doctor that was stupid and he should read his company's mission statement (part of it includes not being wasteful and being mindful of patient's resources). It costs us about $300 every time they put a cast on. Anyway, he had no idea it cost that much. WTH??

Anyway, so she doesn't have to wear a cast this weekend, but her activities are still limited and restricted..ie no motocross! I've already told the doctor no more casts. We may go for activity restrictions and/or a brace. But 5 months of a cast is enough and DD said she will not let them put another one on. This doctor is very arrogant and I don't think he likes that we are telling him what to do. But honestly it's our decision and as I told him, we are his customers!

She hasn't been able to ride in 5 months? DBF would have cut the cast off himself. He just got an 09 KX250F. The Monster Energy version. Now he spends all his time in the garage. I think we're going to sell my bike (that I never ride) and get me a quad. I saw a pink one at the motorcycle shop that was way nice. I think it was a Polaris.

My favorite talk radio station is going down as of 5pm today It will become something depressing.....a music station that is targeted towards teenagers

I love listening to Frosty, Heidi and Frank and now they will be gone I hope they make it back on the air (maybe satellite radio or internet). They are freakin hilarious and such a riot. Frank said that Adam Carolla agreed to a paycut, everyone agreed to a pay cut to help keep the station afloat....everyone except Tom Lyekis!!! Ugh!!!!

I've listened to Tom Lyekis a few times. I don't like him very much.

Have a great weekend you guys!

I'm so sorry for your sister. It just breaks my heart everytime I hear of someone getting cancer. Let her know that she CAN beat cancer...it's not always easy, but I'm living proof that it can be done. Tell her not to let the statistics and the doctors get her down. She is not a statistic and having a good attitude and a sense of humor will help her get thru her treatment.

It is very good that you are going to be with her. But one bit of advice...try to treat her normal. When I was first diagnosed everyone didn't really know what to say or do, and even during treatment it was hard. But what I wanted most of all was for everyone to just treat me normal, for my life to be normal. Make sure to keep her busy, keep her laughing and don't treat her like she's an invalid. If she says she wants to do something then let her do it. Even doing simple household chores will help her feel normal.

She's going to have good and bad days, right now her brain is probably going non-stop just thinking about cancer and letting it sink in. Just be there for her, listen if she wants to talk, try to keep her busy, but most of all just love her.

Alison,

Thanks for your good advice. I know it comes from the heart!

And to all the rest of you, thankyou for your concern and care.

I won't be around much the next week, if at all, so everyone have a good week!

Melody

[XTinabell]

This is a drive by.

Megan, take care sweetie!!

I wanted to share with you guys that my Sister who lives in Oregon, just called me this morning and told me that she has cervical and uteran cancer. So I am quite bummed.

Dave and I, along with my Mom, will be leaving next week to go and be with her during her surgery. We will be gone from Tuesday to Sunday. My Mom will stay behind longer to be with her.

Thanks for listening!

Melody

I don't either. I love Frosty, Heidi and Frank and they made a video for their fans yesterday (on their website). It was really sad.

 

[sameyeyam]

Hi Guys! Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Melody - I'll be thinking about you and your sister. I've become so much closer to my sister since my diagnosis. In some ways cancer has some hidden blessings. She will be in my prayers and I have faith that she will beat this.

I'm sure DD would have cut it off if the choice were hers. It sucks sometimes to be a responsible parent and make the kids do what you know they should. She's had 3 casts on. She is refusing another cast though, but we did tell her that we will follow the doctors orders about motorcycle riding. So if he gives her the green light on Monday, she can start riding again. If now, we may seek a second opinion and won't let her ride until its fully healed. This doctor did say that the fracture is in a critical area that could cut off a major artery in the hand and could cause lots of problems. So we are being very careful.

I've never heard of them. Although I do listen to Adam Corolla's show sometimes in the morning. He has that dry, kinda quirky sense of humor that I so enjoy.

 

[sameyeyam]

Time for dinner. Hopefully I can pop back on later and someone will be here...ladies this ain't good!

It was a day of grocery deals shopping. Whew, lots of stuff and it's stillnot put away. I bought enough to keep two households afloat for a long time (will bring a box to MIL next weekend). N had fun and built castle walls out of my cans of soup and boxes of cereal. The cat thinks it's her own fortress to hide behind and attack as you walk past. I seriously need to get her claws snipped, she attacked me last night when I was trying to shoo her from the bed.. midnight crazies make her territorial, she decided to swipe at me while I was trying to kick her caboose off of my coupon clippings. New scratch on my arm, washed and applied antibacterial cream and found a band aid.. apparently it was a latex based bandaid.. it left a nice puffy welt when I took it off. Gotta go thru and pull all the latex based out of my first aid stash, that's what I get for buying cheap or getting samples in the mail. I don't have a full blown allergy, skin sensitivity especially to the powder from latex gloves.. and apparently to bandaids that have been around for awhile.

Poly wants me to make cookies I guess.. she attacked the pouch of cookie mix (freebie) .. now it's holey ..and not in the spiritually good way.

There goes two tubs of frosting rolling acorss the kitchen floor.

Sure, wake the neighbors.. but you get to answer the door and explain yourself. meow?
