I missed my own bus...
I've been sick three out of the last four weeks, and I had to cancel my 6 mo mammo that I reserved the pink bus for. I also had to reschedule my hysteroscopy and D&C that was set for 11/18. I think my immune system went to Florida for the winter. I can't snap out of it, and I'm starting to get really frustrated and whiny.…

Bi-lateral - Non reconstructive surgery
I have pretty much decided against reconstructive surgery. Come on now - for 40+ years I have felt like saying to men "I am about a foot higher and they are NOT going to talk to you." Now that they are gone they are CERTAINLY not going to talk to anybody! At any rate, has anybody had surgery to "smooth out" the unevenness?…

My precious lil' wiener dog "Tootsie"~~
Such a sad morning for me~ we had a thread recently about our pets, and I mentioned my sweet lil' tootsie. I shared that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer just recently. The tumor was too large to remove, and it seemed to gain speed in its growth. We chose to let her live her days out here at home, comfortable and…

My neck
OK, I had my MRI and Xrays. MRI was "limited" due to too many fillings and a large metal crown. Once again, I peeked (I know I am naughty) at my results at work. I have degenerative spondylosis of C4-5. It is mild, so I am praying a few NSAID patches, maybe some PT and even a cortisone shot and I'll be good for a few…
