We are so glad to hear from you and completely understand your absence. I have heard that a lot of people are not happy with the Gastonia hospital, especially with some of the changes recently. My niece is an RN but not at that hospital. She works mainly in geriatrics in Bessemer City. I am so thankful you were able to get your mom to Wake Forest. I know a lot about the wound pump and drain lines. I had to learn to take of it myself, except that once a week, the home health nurse came to visit and checked out everything. I am sure you guys are seeing that she gets loads of protein and those "loaded" milkshakes. Sometimes it is hard, especially if the patient does not want to eat. I have been that way lately. Like today, we went to Carl's Jr. (Hardees) and I had the monster biscuit. I started to eat and then decided that I just wasn't hungry. I did end up eating something around 3:30: half a mayonnaise sandwich, LOL!!! Does your mom have access to home health care? In one of my posts, I sent you a video link. I will try to go back and find out where it is and resend it. Tell your dad to take care of himself and don't forget to take care of yourself, too. Prayers your way!
I like it. Lots of potential for Christmas!
My new location at the office---sorry it's so dark! The flash was on, but it didn't help. (The desk lamp and camp lantern are there because the overhead lighting hasn't been installed yet.) Even though it's an overcast day, there's a nice amount of natural light. The building was a clock and watch factory built in the 1880s to take advantage of daylight.
What kind of work do you do, Boxermom? Is that your name because you raise Boxer Bulls or are you a boxer, LOL?
I was just fixing to say that mine seems to have resolved itself, unless you resolved mine too, LOL!!!
Look what I found at the thrift store today!
Got it for only $3, this is a $40 cake pan.

I can't wait to see the cakes you'll make with this!!
I think you could add the creepy and it will be fine.
Snowflake, and all other Halloween lovers, I need some advice.
I’m going to revise my Halloween countdown for my iPhone. I want to try my hand at designing a good Halloween pic (I will add elements and effects through Photoshop). I took this picture last night (a few color enhancements have been added) of an old house I came across. But, I don’t think it is sufficiently creep enough. What do y’all think? Keep in mind, the “scary” stuff will be added later, but as the base photo, this one just doesn’t have the creepy haunted house vibe I’m going for.
I have a customer that has already put in an order for a wreath shapped cake this Christmas!
She won again???

About The Play
“What are we doing here, that is the question,” says Vladimir as he and Estragon await their rendezvous with the mysterious Godot. The question takes on a cosmic significance as the two hapless tramps struggle to make sense of their predicament, abandoned in a universe of comic absurdity shot through with moments of nameless terror.

I was honest and my boss understood. We have a good relationship. The interview went great I though. Thanks for asking!

Jeff was working on it this weekend, so maybe he finally found the bad code.
We were gone most of the day to Chico for appointments. For some reason, I was really tired all day.
Does anyone else have Yahoo email and were MADE to change to their "new and improved" service? It is crap--I cannot think of a nicer way to say it! I would be absolutely embarrassed to say that I had a hand in its development. What garbage! Does anyone have a suggestion of what we could switch to without a lot of trouble? I am desperate!
I have a dental appointment tomorrow morning. I will be starting on a treatment for bone health because of the chemo and radiation and I have to have a clearance from my dentist that I have no infections related to my teeth or gums. I start Zometa in October. The side effects sound like what I went through when I had to take Neulasta after each chemo treatment. I don't think it is going to be fun at all.
Here is what info I have:
Severe and occasionally incapacitating bone, joint, and/or muscle pain has been reported in patients taking bisphosphonates, including ZOMETA. Do not continue using ZOMETA if severe symptoms develop, as some patients had the symptoms reappear after taking ZOMETA or another bisphosphonate again. In aspirin sensitive patients, bronchoconstriction (tightening of the airways in the lungs) has been observed while taking bisphosphonates.
Report any hip, thigh, or groin pain to your doctor, as unusual thigh bone fractures have been reported in patients receiving bisphosphonates, including ZOMETA. These fractures may occur with little or no trauma.
HCM patients may experience flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, flushing, bone pain and/or joint or muscle pain). Common side effects in HCM patients include fever, nausea, constipation, anemia, shortness of breath, diarrhea, (Well, which is it?) abdominal pain, worsening of cancer, insomnia, vomiting, anxiety, (Ya think???)urinary tract infection, low phosphate levels, confusion, (I already have this, LOL) agitation, a fungal infection called moniliasis, low potassium levels, coughing, skeletal pain, low blood pressure, and low magnesium levels. Redness and swelling may occur at the site that you are injected.
Common side effects for patients with multiple myeloma and bone metastases due to solid tumors include bone pain, nausea, fatigue, anemia, fever, vomiting, constipation, shortness of breath, diarrhea, weakness, muscle pain, anorexia, cough, joint pain, lower-limb swelling, worsening of your cancer, headache, dizziness (excluding vertigo), insomnia, decreased weight, back pain, numbness/tingling, and abdominal pain. These side effects are listed regardless of any potential association with the medications used in registration studies of ZOMETA in bone metastases patients.
Eye-related side effects may occur with bisphosphonates, including ZOMETA. Cases of swelling related to fluid build-up in the eye, as well as inflammation of the uvea, sclera, episclera, conjunctiva, and iris of the eye have been reported.
Okay, who is ready for a field trip to see my oncologist? Any takers? I will share nicely, LOL!!!
We are going out to dinner tonight. I just didn't want leftovers (even though I love mac and cheese) and I don't really feel like cooking.
I will try to get back online when we get back. TTYL
