Candice...I had that...they called it A-Typical density...it was like fibrocystic. They did a biopsy and there was so much thickening they took a lot of it out...now I have a 'dent' and a scar about 3 inches long. I was having exams every 6 months, mammograms, ultrasounds...whole works. Now I'm down to once a year again. Mastitis and Fibrocystic breast disease runs in my family as does cancer so I have to really watch it (or them!!! :lol: )

As for the weather on the Mississippi in late November. It could be anything from freezing cold and snow to sunny and crisp...or...it could even be a cold drizzle at that time of year. The weather around here varies so in the late fall / early winter, that you can't predict it! Sorry...I wish I could be more help but even the weather men can't predict the weather correctly here!

I just spent 1 1/2 hrs. at the park with my 'baby doll'. She constantly reminds the other 3 that SHE'S Meme's 'baby doll'! :lol: She's totally spoiled rotton (and I love it!) My four yr. old granddaughter asked me just yesterday why Jenna thinks she is the only one who can be my 'baby doll'. I had to laugh at that (but I didn't let her see me!) I told her it was because Jenna was still just a baby and was jealous and that she (Kaylyn) could be my baby girl. That seemed to satisfy her. It's so hard...being so popular! :p

Hey
 

Well Girls this has been a busy but quiet day here. I hope the weekend will stay the same and that all of you will have a great weekend.
Things have not changed for me much. I am still talking bad to my knee every time it slips out of place and that is several times a day. It is just the waiting game for me.
I have been busy sewing for my trip. I a don't know what the weather is like in Az. in October so I am staying safe and taking denim . I can't wear pants too well with a knee brace. It looks really bulky. Split skirts and skirts. I call them comfort wear. I can hardly wait. I just wonder how my hubby is going to do while I am gone. My son might have his hands full. :lol:
Bye for now...Joanne

Hi
 

Meme-good luck on your yard sale.
Joanne-You are so smart to sew your clothes. At least the knee can't bother you as much!!

ok-my newest problem is IBS/diverticulosis. I had \an attack yesterday and had to take my stomache med all day. Good today but feel like I'm 9 months along-I'm so bloated/ Had oatmeal for breakfast. Could have eaten some seeds or from the omelette with cheese and asparagus I had when we went out for breakfast,\.
Hubby has gone to work,I'm going to take it easy. Oh yeah, that's what I do every day.,Going to be hot tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone. Still have the sinus too. Mima

Good morning all
 

Mima - I hope you feel better today. Not so nice when the IBS starts acting up. Enjoy your day of relaxation:lol

Meme - Have a good yard sale. Hope your weather is nicer than here. It is cloudy and wet this morning.

Joanne - good going on the sewing. As I said before, don't know much about that, but sure are days when I wish I did.

Hi Anagram, Serenity, Candice and Ally.

Well, we are all seeming to have our little medical problems. I have that darn yeast infection back again. This has been going on for a year!! I had the blood test done for sugar in the blood. I guess he plans on getting to the root of the problem this time. It just keeps coming back. There is nothing I don't have to combat it this time!

Have been awake since 5:00 a.m. My neck is so sore I could scream. It is where the whiplash got me. I have Dr. Ho working on it right now.

I won't be around much next week. An old friend of mine is coming to visit for the week, so I shall be very attentive and not be rude and be on the computer. I will get on to read though. So everone have a good week.

HiGuys..... Today will be 93 so have to ge on the computer quick before it gets hot in here.
I will sell my house at the end of this school year and look for my last ever house. I have right now what is called a "starter home". We outgrew this the minute I moved in but it was what I could afford after separating. AND it has been affordable. But nowI want some room. And isn't that wierd? I will buy a bigger house now that my kids will be leaving???
Happy. have fun with your friend. I am always posting when everyone else has plans....
Joanne......I pinned my dress together in home ec a thousand years ago just so I could pass the course. Never went near a sewing machine since. I can still remember the sound of that tissue paper pattern pinned to the material. I envy people who can sew.
Candice and Meme....mammograms. I just signed up for mine and had to make sure it happens right after my period or else it hurts way too much. Of course, I still have my period after 8 dys so maybe it won't matter
:dizzy:
Mima...A cruise on the Mississippi....is it on one of those paddle boats??? You know what I mean...like Mark Twain.
Anagram.......I used to have a "rule" that the men in my life have to weigh 30 lbs more than me. I have had to adjust that over the years.... in fact the ex boyfriend I see right now is my height and only weighs 5 lbs more than me. AND he is SKINNY!!!
Serenity.....I love fall weather....this last blast of heat and humidity are just annoying.....

Quick note...not feeling well. Only got 2 hrs. sleep last night and was outside all day today (in garage with doors open...same thing)...now having an allergy attack! Feels like a summer cold! YUCK!!! We sold $700 worth and still have over half our stuff left. Neither of us wanted to 'get rid' of all of that stuff...some furniture, 3 TVs...lots of books and really good clothes. 3 boxes of toys...lots of other stuff...so...we're having ANOTHER ONE when I get back from NC! GROAN! Sorry everybody else seems to be sick, too. Bad time for all!

Hi
 

Just a quick note-you pro bably have a reaction to dust and mold =maybe.I'm wheezing again but my stomache is better.Can't win !!!Going to Sunday School and service and wholesale Club and lunch and to look at fences. Talk later Mima

Enjoy your friend's visit, Happy, and hope that somehow "cures" the yeast infection. Envy you the sewing talent too, Joanne. Didn't realize dh was not going to AZ with you.

Ally, I wouldn't mind being only FIVE LBS less than dh or even only five lbs over. The other side of the problem is that he's shrunk but he's still 5' 10" while I've shrunk and am no longer 5'5".

Not good news, Mima re the IBS/divert. I've gone back on the daily Metamucil for my divert. partly because I was told to but partly because I seem to have more of it than before and the picures sure aren't pretty. My allergies are doing somewhat better. I've done some outside walking and pulled about three weeds yesterday. But not going to chance much more than that. I find if I treat it with respect it does the same in return. If I fool around and aggravate it, it aggravates me right back.

No special plans today yet. Dh being real good about the new diet. But I've been talking "at" him about several other points and don't know how far I'm going to get. DD keeps after me to keep after him. I guess it's hard for her to accept her daddy being in less than good health. DS and wife will come next weekend and stay till Tuesday. Overdue but I understand. And he wants to go see his Grandma too so that should give her a kick.


Wish you all a good week.

Hey There
 

Anagram- My hubby does not like to go much farther than his kids houses. I have tried for a number of years to get him to go out there with me.He will not fly anywhere. I decided if I wait for him I will never get to go.We sometimes get him to go on a family vacation. He sits in the room and waits to go home. You can't win on this one. My sister and I are going together.
Mima- I have made nearly everything I have to wear since I was 12 -13 years old. I see the price now and won't pay it when I know I can make it cheaper. I sewed for all my family and had my own business for many years. I had a nursing degree so when the Dr. told me one day to get away from the machine or my back would only get worse and I would end up in a W/C I started to sew just for myself and family. By then my children were out of school and I didn't need to stay home as much.
Meme- I love Garage sales. I don't get to go to often. Maybe when my sister comes back from N.Y. we will do some of that. I always end up buying something that I don't need.:lol:
Ally- You sound like my sisters. One can sew a little and the other is lost. She doesn't give it a thought. I enjoy it and most handcrafts. I love creating something different that you don't find a hundred like it in the mall. I can't tell you how many hours I have spent on things and then gave them away.Now if I could get to all the dust in my house ,I would be ahead of the game.
Hello Happy..Serenty and all...Joanne

Joanne....It's Football season so I can start to knit again. Hats for everybody.
Anagram...does your hubby pick on you? My exbf would pick on me when I was 30lbs less than him. No matter what my butt and thighs and upper arms will always be bigger.
Meme....Get well.
Mima....my neighbor (the one I can't stand) is getting new fencing on all sides of her yard but mine. The fence is on my side of the fence there. It would be so nice of her to replace it as it is old and falling apart, but she won't.

Hi
 

What a great day we had yesterday. Church, shopping,out to eat!
Happy-I fight yeast all the time. I have some acidolpholus tht I keep on hand and take when I start feeling itchy. I know it's from medication-it's a setup.
Joanne-I bought some new balance sneakers yesterday-I think you said that's what you wore. They feel good. My Nike's caused the pain on the top of my foot that I had to have treated. I have a right foot that doesn't want to go in the right direction-from twisting it 3 times.
How are you doing Meme. Hope you are better!
My diverticulosis is better. That is good, Just ate 3 apricots for fiber.
Hi Ally,Serenity, Anagram , Candice. I'm going to work on my bathroom projects this week. Regrouting and stenciling. A little at a time. Bye for now Mima

No, Ally. Dh doesn't pick on me now or when he was 85 lbs more than I. Good thing - I'd have been in big trouble.

I guess your hubby is happy where he is, Joanne. I know (fairly) well the futility of trying to get a dh to do something he doesn't want to do.

Hot again here today but I did get a walk in "just in time" this am.

Hi
 

Hi guys!!!Is everyone out of town. Brad has gone to work with my son-he is still out of work!!He's waiting for a call. My son is out of work-not Brad. I had a very productive day yesterday. I am regrouting the bathroom floor and also stenciling the walls. It looks pretty. I finally got the energy. Now I think Ill do the hallway too. Having a lot of trouble with my ribs again. Got my new hormones-femhrt. Supposed to be better. Bye for now and hello everyone. Mima

Hi everyone! I haven't posted here before, but I have been reading this thread for a week or so.

I have had all sorts of weird mammograms -- cysts, calcium deposits, density imbalances. I think that anyone with a fairly large bust measurement is going to have more irregularities. My mom has the same problem -- every mammogram requires additional testing of some kind.

So far, we've had nothing which required any intervention, even though we've had about 10 "irregular" mammograms between us. So hang in there, and don't worry.

P.S. My favorite "omigod" gynecological moment happened on our honeymoon. We were visiting Canada at the time. I retrieved my phone messages on Friday evening, and my doctor's office had left a very stern-sounding message that "your PAP smear has come back positive". It happened to be the Labor Day weekend, and my husband and I were absolutely insane until we finally reached the doctor on Tuesday afternoon. And sure enough, my PAP test was positive...for a yeast infection! Sheesh! Talk about a lousy way to spend a honeymoon.

Hey There
 

Welcome Auntie- It is usually the the level of "intelligence" of the person making the call to patients that causes the upset.I am a nurse(retired) and can tell you that I often wondered where the Doctors found them. They should not be the ones to pass on information. They should have just left a message for you to call back.I hope all your days are Happy.
Mima- I wear only New Balance . I had a sales person tell me if I tried them I would never wear any other. Now I don't always believe a sales person. She was so right! Now all the members of my family wear them. Hope you feel better soon.
Ally- I have not done too much kniting. I have to teach myself to do that. I crochet. My hubby used to pick on me all the time when I was overweight. I made an effort to fatten him up while I was losing. Payback is ****.
:lol: :lol:
