The DIS Hyena Lounge

[Alex2kMommy]

Good morning, hyenas!

It's Saturday! It's sunny! Wheeeeeee!

No big plans today, other than le football, of course. Should be the perfect day for it! And let's hope no trouble finding a place to park this time!

Oh, Great!!! Did I not hit the nail right on the head last night? Remember when I told Lynn that she was going to start a war last night on the Komen message board when she told Velma that she was spelling Here wrong? Take a look. I'm debating on whether to let it die down or confess that a friend of mine put it on there for me.

Dang, those women are feisty! We should send Lynn AND Jack-Jack over there! (Awww, but then he may never come back. Let's not do that!)

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Alison, take it easy lady. Do I have to drug you up with Benadryl so you are so drowsy you can't do anything to keep you down? Duct tape you to a chair? tie a heavy chain around you that is more than 10lbs? What do we have to do?

Take it easy. Dont want to get going to crazy and have your new b00b fall off do you????

OMG! I'm picturing Alison potting plants. All of a sudden: PLOP!
"Damn."

I vote for margaritas. And plenty of 'em!

WHOA. Where is Lynn's post?

I think she's about the 9th one down, called DoodleTDoo or something like that. I would also like to add that they've been picking on a lady named Stacy and she managed to get in the middle of it to.

Well I would feel the same way too about your hanging baskets, but PLEASE don't even think about it. Maybe you could have DD do it for you. Do it step by step with her???

DD spent the night with a friend. I could ask DH to help me with it. But he's in kind of a grumpy mood. Oh well, not a big deal. It's still a bit early to worry about having the flowers out, especially when it can still be frosty until the first part of May.

The new b00b is doing just fine and seems to be sewed on rather fine. Don't think I'll have to worry about it falling off. Actually my chest feels just fine. It's my stomach area that is the problem. That's where they removed everything from, including a big chunk of muscle. If I lift over 10 pounds it could cause a hernia. They used fake tissue called Alloderm inside of me to replace the muscle that was taken out. It just needs about 6 weeks to fully graft and grow to replace the muscle. Some plastic surgeons use mesh, but it can feel strange inside of you. My PS prefers to use the Alloderm, but it limits the amount of weight you can lift. 10 lb restriction for 6 weeks, then a 25 lb. restriction for the rest of my life.

Oh nevermind I found it. Yikes.

Alison I say do not confess. They my roast you alive. Let lynn's name die out in peace.

Looks like you get out of moving or carrying luggage forever!

That reminds me of the time I was out cleaning out the travel trailer. I decided just to put a regular sports bra on instead of my mastectomy bra with the built in prosthesis holder. I was busy working and all of the sudden I bent over and PLOP! Out came Betty!! DS was helping me and he got this horrified look on his face. I quickly told him he could go outside and play instead! Quite frankly it scared the bejesus out of me, I thought it was a mouse or something!

I cant breathe. That is the funniest thing.

Wow. It's amazing what they can do these days! But I didn't realize they moved muscle as well as fat? It makes sense, I guess.

When they fixed my uterus years ago they sewed it up inside mesh, and apparently the mesh dissolves. I was more concerned about the staples on the outside than the mesh on the inside. YECH!

And this fool aide put this girdle type thing on me before having me go for a walk. The girdle would have been painful enough without the staples, but I could barely breathe, let alone walk! We got halfway around the floor (as far from my room as I could get without leaving the floor) when the girdle went SPROING! and flew off!

The aide tried to put the girdle back on, but I said no, and hobbled back to the bed somehow. The next morning the nurse said that:
A. You are supposed to remove the staples before putting on the girdle!
B. The girdle was the smallest size they have, I needed a L or XL!



Just keep taking care of yourself, girly-girl. You and my DH are cut from the same cloth, great at taking care of others, just can't seem to take care of your own self.

They wouldn't dare pick on me. Especially if I confess and say oops I made a mistake. But you're probably right, I will just ignore it and let it die down.

I know that I'm going to have a hard time not lifting heavy things. But really 25 pounds is still a good amount to be able to lift. Unfortunately it won't exclude laundry baskts, bags full of groceries or the vacuum cleaner!

 

[AZMickeyfans]

I notice that Stacey is in Queen Creek AZ. I live about a mile away from QC. so if I see a feisty woman around the grocery store I might ask if she is stacey!

ITA!!! And Lynn should stay outta there, too! Leave these poor women who bite the heads off bats ALONE!!!

That is a crying shame. maybe you could get a DR's note for those things!

You need bigger laundry baskets.

Gotta run, I've been chatting here with my bathrobe on and my hair standing every which-way.

DS7 has his hoarse, almost barky cough again, so we're going to give him a bit of inhaler before he heads off for football today. The inhaler is brand new (we used to use a nebulizer), and we can't seem to find the dosing info!

It's probably like one or two puffs, but if we can't find it, I'll just have him do one. And sunscreen! Can you believe it???

That is too funny!!! All I had on me after surgery was a thin strip of tape. They couldn't use the girdles or bras because they kept my blood vessel attached and moved it up. They need to make sure that nothing puts pressure on it and cuts the blood supply off while it's healing. I still can't wear a bra, which is weird! I've just been wearing a tank top under my shirts at work. Thank goodness I'm not that large and don't really need support. I feel like one of those bra burning tree hugging hippie commune chicks!

I notice that Stacey is in Queen Creek AZ. I live about a mile away from QC. so if I see a feisty woman around the grocery store I might ask if she is stacey!

I should probably ask if she likes Disney and invite her over here. She is a hoot and definately not afraid to say what's on her mind. Some of the ladies over there just take breast cancer so seriously. Most of us just ignore them. But Stacey takes them to task. They told us we were posting too many jokes and non-breast cancer posts. She told them where to go!!

 

[AZMickeyfans]

Well, I'm trying to give the kids breakfast before we head off to the hospital. So I hear a ton of laughter. I'm in here folding laundry and they are in the kitchen. So I go in there to see what is so funny and Jake had put the cereal box on the floor. Apparently he wanted to eat it out of the box instead of the bowl I gave him. So he put it on the floor and my dog comes up next to him and sticks her head into it. She rams her head so far down to get what little is left of the cereal and her head got stuck. She cant get it off and she's running into walls. I pulled it off her head but she was smart and put her teeth on the plastic bag inside so she ran outside with the plastic on hear head and cereal spilling all around her. She was going to get that cereal no matter what! she's old so I let her have it. sshhhh don't tell Jeff. He hates it when I let her get away with stuff.

SUNSCREEN??? I think I've heard of that?? No need for sunscreen up here in the trees. It can be 90 degrees downtown and we are sitting up here on the hill wearing shorts & flannel shirts.

Yeah, isn't she the one who WELCOMED Lynn?

I love it when the animals do stuff like that. Sometimes I think they are smarter than us humans!!

Why yes she was! Sometimes I wonder why she stays on that message board, she's got a whole group of grumpy women that seem to jump on everything she says.

Well I need to get off of the computer also. DD just called and might have to go pick her up shortly. Everyone have a great day!
