Any new of Ryan today so far??? I've been

 

thinking of you and sending just quiet, but positive vibes your way young man.....

That is intersting Joystik!

 

Funny thing is my sensitive parts are on my left side, not my right! I had pre-decay evident before chemo along my gumlines, and was given fancy pastes to soak the teeth in (I have teeth moulds) and muth rinses etc etc and used them about a dozens times through the whole chemo period (supposed to be like every second day LOL). So its my own fault! I just felt so lousy I didn't feel at all like having that tooth paste swilling around in my mouth, was worried it would make me throw up! Will be paying the price on Tuesday!

What you up to Paula??? Bogged in to heaps

 

of boring old school work with Josh I suppose....nah just joking. I know you are a busy wee thing over there on the farm. Any babies yet??

joystik (285 )    1:53 pm, 3 Aug

Oh to answer your hair loss question Joystik

 

Lucky you! No I lost pretty much all of mine everywhere! Armpits still hair free (yay!) rest is back except maybe eyelashes, the new lashes (I lost them all) are still too short to do much with, so eyeliner is still my best friend ;o) Eyebrows coming back well. I was totally bald on head by third chemo I'm pretty sure. But then I did do that parcel tape thing LOL

And its so expensive. I had part of an amalgam

 

filling fall out in my diner a couple of weeks ago so went in to have it fixed last week. He repaired it with white composite stuff, and it looks and feels great. I was in the chair a total of 10 minutes probably, and he didnt check anything else, and cost $140.00 Good hourly rate aye. You teeth look lovely in your pics. Mine are awful, quite close together so I have that decay round the edges, which has been filled and replaced many times. I will have to do something more permanent some time I guess....

joystik (285 )    1:57 pm, 3 Aug


 

1507.

 

OK sorry everyone I've missed

 

HAVE to go do stuff, gotta collect Lydia in 40 mins... bye for now :o)

soniat-d (153 )    1:58 pm, 3 Aug


 

1508.

 

I had to cut about 2 inches off my hair all over

 

couple of days ago, and its still probably about 1 - 2 inches long, whats left of it. I probably have a 20% coverage, and its growing still, because I notices it was longer than the wig at the back, hence the hair cut! Underarms need wax or roundup! Legs need shaving but I have just kept waiting for it to go voluntarily! And No Brazilian for me ladies.....well not yet!! Right, I'm off for a bike ride.....see you again soon...

joystik (285 )    2:01 pm, 3 Aug


 

1509.

 

Yeah I had Dentists dream teeth for years

 

(they used to go WOW when I opened my mouth and asked what I did to keep them so good LOL) Then one day... think it was around the time I got pregnant actually, teeth started breaking down a bit, got a few fillings (the expensive white kind) and then just before chemo - yikes! Yep my teeth look pretty good, but a few off them are really rough and porous now down the sides, feel terrible... I'm doing the paste thing every day now, but think its too late!

soniat-d (153 )    2:01 pm, 3 Aug


 

1510.

 

Whadya know Joystick

 

The lump is small again - enough to drive me mad! (I feel them way too many times a day now - bad habit! OK see you all later xoxoxo

soniat-d (153 )    2:03 pm, 3 Aug


 

1511.

 

How strong a dose of chemo are you having

 

Joystik? Any possibility of increasing it, given you're tolerating it so well? Hey, everyone is so different, my hair fell out with the AC, grew back with the Taxotere.... I met women who had the exact opposite! So I wouldn't worry - just enjoy! (The head hair I mean LOL) I actually miss my brizilian, that was fun :o)

Hi everyone

 

Joshi did some school work this morning but I didnt push it he looks terrible. I put a photo on his website, I think its tiredness a lot of it. Josh is having a bit of trouble withhis teeth - will have to get him seen to soon I think. Just bought the girls back to our farm now so its count down till the bubbas start coming. Then I will be awol from here. We keep crossing things off like thats the last time well be doing that. 10 months will fly. Actually going to look at a property in Wyndham tomorrow. Sonia you are good about getting your body sorted. Teeth, Back , Eyes - thats great. How many sleeps till you head away???

Hi Joystik

 

Bit of a gloomy day - enjoy your bike ride. HUh you could of ridden faster if you'd had a brazilian... ;o)

BBBBBOOOOOGGGGGEEEEEYYYYi

pppaaauuulllaaa hhheeelllooooooooooooo

 

i am here, we are good ryans good hes telling me he wants a trumpet ice cream so looks like i will be going for a walk.

bogeyi (484 )    3:21 pm, 3 Aug


 

1516.

 

Hey Bogeyi

 

That's great that he feels like icecream :o)

soniat-d (153 )    3:48 pm, 3 Aug


 

1517.

 

Hi bogeyi

 

Yummm - thats good news, hope your legs arent too achey tonight. Give Ryan our love, Josh has been asking me about him all day. Love to you all

paulaxx (78 )    4:01 pm, 3 Aug


 

1518.

 

Sonia, I am having the maximum dose of FEC

 

that I can have for my weight and height. I'm sure its the supplements that have knocked the side effects back so hard.

joystik (285 )    4:06 pm, 3 Aug


 

1519.

 

Glad the lump is small today. Do you think you

 

are feeling it in different positions, therefore making it feel bigger sometimes and smaller other times?? I only hope one day you go to feel it and it has gone completely. I cant feel anything at all along my scar lines. The cancer side is much more raised than the other side, but I wonder if thats to do with the Lymph nodes being removed?

joystik (285 )    4:10 pm, 3 Aug


 

1520.

 

Bogeyi, Ryan mist be feeling ok then to be asking

 

for Ice cream. I got so sick of ice cream in the hospital. Dont think I'm really an ice cream sort of a gal! But, just love their jelly. When I was on free fluids, I got 3 different colours of jelly for one meal....almost like christmas. Their jelly has such a lovely strong flavour. I'm so pleased for you that things are going ok. Been thinking of you lots Bogeyi.....

joystik (285 )    4:13 pm, 3 Aug


 

1521.

 

Sonia

 

I am glad the lumps are smaller again today too. I just have to share this with you - Josh and I were just checking out his website and I showed him that 891 visitors had been to it an I said oooohhhh look nearly 900 hun, he said OOOHHHH ANOTHER HUNDY!!! I just thought it was so cute. Made me think of you. xoxoxoxo

paulaxx (78 )    4:15 pm, 3 Aug


 

1522.

 

Gee Paula, 10 months is no time is it? Hope

 

you enjoy looking at your farm in Wyndham tomorrow, and hopefully it will be a nice sunny day too. How big is it?? Got a nice Home on it too?? Will be looking forward to hearing all about it after you have been. I have been keeping my ear to the ground out here for you too but nothing really concrete at the moment. Dont make that poor boy do too much homework will you. Tell you what, send it to me and I will do it and send it back to the school. ha ha ha.....

joystik (285 )    4:17 pm, 3 Aug


 

1523.

 

Joystik

 

No I dont push him. I only get him to do a bit when he is feeling up to it. Today he wanted to do a wee bit but tomorrow he wont do any. School have only sent home some cool sheets they are working on to make Josh feel included which is wonderful. We do it together anyway. So not a strain on him. Looking forward to seeing the farm tomorrow, 100 acres I think??? Tell u more when I can xo

joystik (285 )    8:12 pm, 3 Aug


 

1529.

 

You have a nice time with your new friends....

 

Maewest? Obviously your work didn't intercept your day off again!!

joystik (285 )    8:13 pm, 3 Aug


 

1530.

 

Golly! Its quiet tonight!

 

Just got back from Lydia's parent-teacher interview. She's doing very well, ahead of her age skill-wise, well behaved, super polite etc. She is over-sensitive and unsure friends-wise, lacks confidence. All things we knew... she's just sensitive to whats going on with me and its affecting her. Will work on inviting her friends around to play again, see if that helps. Should do ;o) OK gotta go put her to bed, have a good evening all :o)

soniat-d (153 )    8:19 pm, 3 Aug


 

1531.

 

I had a lovely afternoon

 

thanks. It's strange, we have all only known each other for a few months yet it feels like a lifetime. It's great. Bit like on here really. Hehe no call from work today thank goodness. Back there at 7am tomorrow!

maewest (79 )    8:24 pm, 3 Aug


 

1532.

 

Sonia, I knew she woud be really good..........

 

but you can tell by things you say about her that she has a sensitive nature. She's beautiful Sonia and so is Emily......You must be very proud.

joystik (285 )    8:24 pm, 3 Aug


 

1533.

 

Sonia you will be so proud

 

of Lydia. She sounds a beautiful little girl. She will have all sorts of things going through her little head. And you are a wonderful Mum. (((HUGS)))

maewest (79 )    8:25 pm, 3 Aug


 

1534.

 

I sure am Joystik :o)

 

Considering all they have witnessed me go through, and the things other adults say in front of them (like "OH no you have cancer, my .... died of that" (?!?!) I think they're doing admirably for such wee souls :o)

soniat-d (153 )    8:27 pm, 3 Aug


 

1535.

 

Maewest, is that a 12 hour shift?? They are quite

 

long days aren't they. Your friends sound like all you guys that I have met on here and talk to everyday. I feel like I have known you all for ever....it's great

joystik (285 )    8:27 pm, 3 Aug


 

1536.

 

And Sonia, they hear more and take on much more

 

than you ever realise too. And then it comes out in really odd ways sometimes, like they wil do something really strange that they wouldn't normally do, and react like a stessed out little person....They will have seen you go through so much in a year or more and will hear things and be being dropped off with other people while you attend appointments etc. It effects the whole family in quite a big way doesn't it....

joystik (285 )    8:31 pm, 3 Aug


 

1537.

 

Sonia people can be so

 

insensitive. Have you really had people say that in front on the girls? That's terrible. The poor wee souls. It has been hard enough for my grown up boys. I can't imagine how it must be for your little ones. You will be a new person ater all your 'bits' have been fixed up...it's almost like a makeover!

maewest (79 )    8:34 pm, 3 Aug


 

1538.

 

Sonia

 

I know its been said before but you must be very proud. Dear little poppit. Give her and Emily a cuddle from us here. Hugs to you (((((HUGS)))))

paulaxx (78 )    8:35 pm, 3 Aug


 

1539.

 

Joystik, just

 

7 hours the next 2 mornings, then 12 hours on Sunday and 8 on Monday night....that's enough!!!! Yes these 2 girls (ladies!) are really neat and so much fun. We chat about anything and everything! Wouldn't it be great if we could all have a get together somewhere?? Who knows!

maewest (79 )    8:37 pm, 3 Aug


 

1540.

 

Hi Paula

 

Hope all is well in your world. How is Josh tonight? Has the chemo and steroids affected him yet? And how are YOU?

maewest (79 )    8:39 pm, 3 Aug


 

1541.

 

Hi Maewest

 

I am feeling sooooo much better thank you! Josh looked so awful today, pale and so heavy under his eyes I hate seeing him like that. He is feeling the effects already of all of it. I had to get him to eat up so I could give him his chemo two hours after dinner, then for once he just went out like a light. Sound asleep. They both are tonight. Dear little things. I am so blessed. His x-box is playing up now. Of course to him thats a huge thing. Its his world. Hope I can get someone local to look at it???

paulaxx (78 )    8:50 pm, 3 Aug


 

1542.

 

The hours you work

 

Maewest - I am so glad the people are fun to work with. Yeah a get together - Maui's nice lol

paulaxx (78 )    8:56 pm, 3 Aug


 

1543.

 

Sounds good to me

 

Paula. I saw Josh's pic on his website. He does look miserable. It must be so hard for you. You are doing such a wonderful job. I'm so pleased you are feeling better. Boy it has taken a while. Onward and upward ((((HUGS))))

maewest (79 )    8:58 pm, 3 Aug

Is Joshs' xbox still under warranty? we had a problem with ours and they just replaced it as they told us they just replace them.

janetmk1 (39 )    9:21 pm, 3 Aug


 

1545.

 

I saw it too Paula and he did look kinda sad to me

 

I told him in his guestbook that it was on account of the school work.....Poor kid has a bit to go through doesnt he. Give him a hug....but dont wake him up will you

joystik (285 )    9:21 pm, 3 Aug


 

1546.

 

Actually Lauren got a new one soon after we got it

joystik (285 )    9:24 pm, 3 Aug


 

1547.

 

hi sonia, haven't read much lately

joystik (285 )    9:33 pm, 3 Aug


 

1551.

 

Nite nite Maewest, see you again sometime soon,

 

after all you work. Hope you have a good day tomorrow and its a sunny one for you. Take care ....((((HUGS)))))

joystik (285 )    9:34 pm, 3 Aug


 

1552.

 

Paula, sorry I forgot

 

to thank for the email too. It must be the same one Joystik. Joystik, you will probably find my email addy on Josh or Ryans's website. I'm a bit slow too, yours will be on there as well!!

maewest (79 )    9:35 pm, 3 Aug


 

1553.

 

Hi Joystik :)

 

Still plodding along here Danny went to his dr on Tuesday and his meds have been increased. According to the doctor he has plateaued. I guess it just takes a lot of time and patience. Jordan is due to have another bout of vertigo soon so its going to be a long month. But while I have the chance I am going shopping tomorrow and the hairdressers etc so I can have a bit of "ME" time :)) I hope you hear about your job soon, must feel like its taking forever to you? It sure feels like a long time to me, every day I come on to see if you have heard :)

Joystik

 

It was cool wasnt it, the email that is... Josh was really not taht sad today - he was pulling such crazy faces when I took that photo it was inbetween some hilarity and well you know what we are like. Sorry if it made people sad. I just took it cos too me its another marker - the da after, the start of it all again. But one day closer to it all being successful. xoxo

paulaxx (78 )    9:40 pm, 3 Aug


 

1557.

 

Yes Paula, I know you guys as funny,happy people

 

but I suppose he just gets sick of himself some days and wishes he was someone else just for w while so he didnt have to put up with all this STUFF!!

joystik (285 )    9:48 pm, 3 Aug


 

1558.

 

Hi Janet, I think it will be after the weekend now

 

so check again then. I had to r-do part of the profile so they could do a proper analysis of my character and suitability for the position. How you dont have too uch to put up with, but I guess you know whats in store and now you are getting prepared for wen it sets in. Take care and treat your self tomorrow....(((HUGS)))

joystik (285 )    9:51 pm, 3 Aug


 

1559.

 

Joystik

 

Yea I bet he does too, just probably doesnt tell me about it, cos he wouldnt want to upset me...

paulaxx (78 )    9:58 pm, 3 Aug


 

1560.

 

Glad Bogey Ryan was asking for ice cream

 

and Paula you are feeling better. Hope these people don't keep you dangling too long Joystik waiting to hear about that job. Wet here today so did another movie. Tiredness has set in a bit in last couple of days and I have had aching joints & muscles quite bad again. Grr just getting impatient! Away for a port flush tomorrow. I have damaged 2 molars during chemo and was staying across the road from Dental School in Dunedin. One of the other people had been going over to the school for treatment while doing radiation so I went and enquired about it too. What a laugh. Got told depending on what year student could be 3-18 month wait! I actually had an appointment at dentist day I started radiation and had to cancel it but have another next week.

Hi Landylass

 

Sorry you are feeling so tired. What a crock with your molars and how ironic youhad to put off that appointment. Hope the aches and pains ease off for you xo

Joystick I had

 

3 cycles of FEC and my hair started to go about 10 days after 2nd one. My hubby was getting mad with me as it never all stopped growing and I used to run his shaver over the top every morning otherwise it annoyed me on the pillow at night. First place I lost it was under arms. Went all over except for the legs which only partially went and thats where I was hoping it would all go! As soon as they took me off FEC it all started to grow back. Sadly its coming in quite grey and straight but hey its better in this weather to at least have some cover now!

Hi Paula

 

I'm with you on keeping Joshi away from school and the bugs. Especially if chicken pox is around. Can't be too careful. Hope you get that XBox going soon... he will have withdrawal symptoms. Will post a photo of Mr14 once he got the wireless controllers. Instead of sprawling on the floor he found a new perch on his sisters music stool and could sit like this for hours!

His older brother has sold his

Hi farmerlloyd

 

How's it going are you worn out chasing those sheep? I did think about you when going through Culverden and seeing all the little lambs playing there were heaps and guess what at Reefton on the way home outside a shop was a box of SWEDES for 60cents each. I pounced on them. The paddocks in Reefton are so green I don't think you would see them as green anywhere else, mostly dairy farms there I think. Take care farmer lloyd.

They had to be uplifted by Friday so we hopped in the ute and over we went.Well what an experience after we finished loading them we were driving down the motorway and him next to me said the trailer looks at an odd angle so we pulled up and

sure enough all the welds at the bottom of the

 

trailer had broke so we had to crawl along the road and we came across this welding place on the Mainsouth road and Watts road(maewest you would know how busy it is there) anyway those lovely guys came out and unloaded the bricks , fixed our trailer while we sat in there cafe drinking their coffee they then loaded all the bricks on again. I went too help and they told me to bugga off. They were fabulous I can't speak highly enough of them.

boop there have been a few

 

sore backs in this thread lately. Don't you go going them now unloading or working with those pavers!!!! Be positive that it happened where it did. Would have been the pits in the middle of the alps somewhere! You escaped Murphys law.

1584.

 

I was so upset thinking we might drop our bricks

 

in the middle of the motor way I just had to go and spend some money at the warehouse which is a novelty to me. Now you two eat your heart out they had bush roses reduced to 4.99 so I got 4 of those.One is justjoey, maryrose, forget the others will look in the morning.

Hi landylass

Hi neighbour Paula

 

We are in for a lovely sunny day today eh? Just perfect for wandering around the farmland around Wyndham! I hope you are kicking those bugs and that Josh has a better day today. It is a long sprawling treatment regime he has to endure isn't it. Anyway you can't help but feel a lot better when the day turns out to be a good one weather wise 1

Morning all, Bit of a late start for me again,but

 

I have been busy this morning doing stuff. Such a beautiful day here in sunny Southland, that I will be outside most of today and not on here. Going for a ride out country later on to, and having coffee with another friend shortly. Ohhhh what a busy life....Hi Paula and Josh, hope you love the farm you are going to look at. It will look great on such a nice day. Frmerlloyd, there wont be much sign of you here either on a day like this. Nice to see you Bogeyi, and I hope that Ryan doesn't have to suffer to much nasty stuff with this transplant. Thinking about you all lots....((((HUGS))))

Hi Boop, so pleased to see you are back. I

 

was beginning to think maybe you had gone to see the Grandkids or something. The trailer thing was a bit of a hassle, but isn't it just grand to know that there are still nice blokey blokes out there that would take over and do it all for you like that. It restores ones faith in humans. You are into roses now aren't you?? Once you start buying them you can always find a place for just 1 more. My success rate with Warehouse roses was, sad to say, very poor. Probably less that half actually grew at all and the others were very slow. Of course they are a real bargain if they do though. Good luck with them. Yes, that pelletised sheep manure at the warehouse is very good if you cant get the real stuff. Easier to handle too. I am going to feed mine more organically this year and leave the phosphates in the shop!! I have always been big on spreading Nitrophoska everywhere, including the lawn so as to have the greenest lawn in town!!

Hi Landylass, thanks for all your info on the hair

 

thing. Yes it seems that everyone reacts slightly differently to these drugs. It would seem that I am quite tolerent to them especially given the size of the doseage, and the fact that the side effects are very minimal. I guess in that light, I will have to shave the legs and armpits after all, and just imagine what a Braviallian would have been like!! Although I guess with 3 treatments still to go, there is time for changes still. Hope you have got a beautiful day like we have here today....it truely is stunning!!

Hi and welcome to lostcorz and fancylegz.......

 

thanks to you both for posting and telling you story. I'm very sorry for you loss. Unfortunately that seems to be wht happens for some people. My Mum also had breast cancer twice, first at 29 and then again at 39and then died at 48. I still miss her today and think about how things would have been for her now had she survived all that. Its 22 years since she died now, and of course medical treatments have improved a lot in that time also. But still some will survive this terrible disease and some wont. I am on the WILL list, with all the other poeple on this thread. We all have our swords held high and Fight, Fight, Fight!! Take care both of you....(((HUGS))))

Hi Joystik

 

We are about to leave to pick up Cass then meet the Real Estate Agent. First calf just being born as I type this. Thats it now the others will look at it and think I quite like that and hormones will start racing - before you know it wel be in the thick of it. Anyway beautiful day. Hope you and your family have a great one. p.s Off to buy Josh an xbox 360, after chatting to experts it seems the laser is gone on his old one. He is so excited cant keep him quiet. xo

Joystik

 

I would like to be able to tell you that Hamilton is bathed in sunshine, but I would be lying. We had a heavy fog earlier, then it lifted, but seems to be coming down again. On the news it said that Auckland, Hamilton and Chch airports were closed with fog. 5 jumbo jets had to be re-routed from landing in Auckland, 3 went to Wgtn and 2 to Fiji. That would be a bummer to fly all the way from England or America and find yourself in Fiji, and you might get as far as the arrivals lounge, or you might sit on the plane for hours. They don't like all the paperwork if you land for a short time. Very disrupting. A little glimmer of sunshine is appearing, so that will cheer our two spoilt cats (Fred and Monty). Have a good day all of you.

Hi all, sorry its just one thing after another

 

here at the mo! Had my vit C infusion this morning, running late... good news with my back, was able to sleep on my side last night, for the first time in a week! So definately improving!

Hi mimi1

 

Thanks for asking, no I definately still have about 12 lumps in there, the docs are hoping they've died and gone necrotic, so are happy as long as they don't start growing again. My radiologist said the effects of radiation would continue for months, and that the lumps swell and shrink through that process, so I have to assume thats what is happening, for now. Last night I freaked a bit, they all seemed big whole area was lumpy, felt awful, so I was crying etc. Then this morning, sweet as. Its freaky alright, hate it :o/!!!

soniat-d (153 )    12:58 pm, 4 Aug

Awww Paula :o)

 

Cute new bubba ;o) Wow spring is here eh? The fog has only just lifted here, was a major today, I'd imagine a lot of flights were postponed/diverted etc. Hey cute Josh calling his hits hundies LOL What a pro! ;o) Hope he's OK today, have still gotta backtrack through all the posts see the other photos etc...

Hi All!

 

The sun is shining here in sunny Hawke's Bay, and we have been playing outside all morning. I love the sunny weather!!!! I am great, and hoping to go away (only to palmy) next weekend without the kids. It'll seem so strange with no kids at all. I have 6 here when my 2 finish their school day - 7mnth old, 20month old, 2year old, nearly 4year old and mine are nearly 6 and nearly 10. Man I love kids!

Love to you all going through your various treatments! Joystick - you are amazing - I bet your docs tell you that frequently. Sonia - glad you are havn a good day with the lumps. Im sorry you were so upset last night, you poor doll :-( . Bogeyi - hope today is going well for Ryan. How long before you know whether Ryan is accepting Tyler's marrow? Praying that it all goes as smoothly as possible!!! Paula - hi! Love your new baby!!!! I hope Joshi and Cassie are a box of birds today - wow - xbox 360 - lucky Joshi!!

my nearly 10yr old is actually nearly 11. Boy they certainly grow up quickly! Most of you are probably out enjoying the day, and I'm parked up here having my lunch (late I know) and surfing. Will be back outside when the boys wake no doubt!

I have just discovered this thread, and it bought tears to my eyes. The love is amazing. It is just coming up to a year since I lost my best friend at the age of 33yrs and she left behind her 3 children and wonderful husband, as well as introducing me to her other dear friend. Our love for her is forever strong. I am going to share this with her hubby so he can also draw strength from you remarkable folk. THANK YOU

My mother has bought roses from the warehouse, and they are doing great - hopefully yours will to! I have just done a rough count up around our propery - at least 50 roses! They were all here when we moved here about a year and a half ago. My hubby and I knew nothing about roses (I still don't know alot), but he seems to have them sorted!

Hi Tinkerbellsmum....welcome and thanks for....

 

posting on this thread. So sorry about your friend, but unfortunately it still does happen. Roll on quickly the day when they can prevent it rather than try to cure it! This is a very supportive thread, and the people on here have become very special friends to me, although I have only ever met one of them in person. I feel like I have known them forever. Please tell your friend to post - we all support each other. ((((HUGS)))) to you....

Hi Sonia and Dize....I heard that you were fogged

 

over up there this morning and the flights were being diverted all over the place. I see that happened last week or sometime and he planes landed at Whenuapai and the people wewre left sitting on the planes fo 10 hours!! That wouldn't impress you much would it! I see you are having a busy day again Sonia. Sorry you were distressed last night. We have times like that dont we. I woke up a bit like that this morning but think I was on the tail end of a dream, and couldn't even remember what it was about after a few minute, so came right quickly. But initially I did feel just horrid! I think about you, what you have gone through, and what you still have to go through, lots of times every day. Good thing you are such a positive lady and a delight to be around......((((HUGS))))and to you too Dize....

Really sad to hear your story. You will get lots of loving support in here, so keep in touch. Sorry to hear you had a "down" night last night Sonia. You are only human, it is only natural to let the sword slip down briefly. Hope you are feeling better mentally today. Nice weekend coming up for us all, hopefully. I am just going around to have a wine with my youngest daughter and see my 3 grandchildren. They call me Nana Dize and I love it!!!

Hey bettyboop

 

How's the coast today? I have New Dawn...it's lovely. Also have Maryrose..it has a lovely perfume. I'm sure with some tender care those Red Shed roses will thrive. Yip the old sheep pellets are great. Must admit though I tend to use nitrophoska. It's great stuff. Still haven't finished pruning. It will happen sometime. I have a friend with an award winning garden and all she does is use the hedge clippers on her roses!

maewest (79 )    4:45 pm, 4 Aug

your wine and your grandchildren. I am about to pour myself a glass of the red stuff. You have a lovely weekend.

Thank for the emails. I will have to dig out some to send back to you. You busy girl. Hope you have had a lovely day. Janet, Hope your boys are okay today. That depression is tough. One step forward, two steps back a lot of the time. You just have to make the most of the good days.Landylass that photo of your son is a crackup! How can he sit like that for hours? It looks so uncomfortable! Hope your aches and pains are feeling better today. Farmerlloyd, hope you have had a lovely day chasing your sheep! You won't need bike rides etc like the rest of us! Lots of lambs around now. I love it.We have a paddock over our fence with polo horses. One of the locals breeds them and has a polo field over our back fence...Mark Harris...you may have heard of him. His brother does the racehorse thing.

Alcohol in general not good

Will be having one tonight ;o) OK gotta put the girls to bed, brents still not back. He's around at the other house getting a quote for HRV system installation. Appointment was 7.30 - they must be doing the full sell LOL

Everything in moderation

 

that's my motto now Sonia. Actually I have not long got the taste for alcohol back. Even now, red wine is about the only thing that appeals. In says you can have red wine in my chemo book, so it can't be all bad...I hope!

Hi everyone

 

Had a good day, seems everyone has been very busy on here. Read a wee bit but Cass is waiting for a story so I have to be brief. Farm - not really our cuppa, just didnt feel right, I havent bought much real estate in the past but I think we'd know????? Josh got his xbox 360 - but guess what. After making two phone calls to check this we find that none NO none of his games work on it!!! Poor thing. Chris is going to try and contact Microsoft to ask if we can get anything to adapt to it. The guys at two shops said it should be able to play some of the games. They are not making the old xbox's anymore. :( Poor Josh. He got one game with the console - thank goodness. Oh well, glad you liked the bubba, she is one of the only Jerseys we have left in the herd. Mostly black and whites or crosses. FYI lol

Paula,

 

You will need to get an emulator for your xbox 360 and even then only some of the games will play. If you check this site you can see the list of games... http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm

maewest (i think it was you asking)

 

tyler is fine he went back to school today, his body will reproduce the marrow over a few months all he has is 5mls of iron a day. Ryan is strictly on no visitors, not even his brother or sister now (our choice) he is most at risk now for any infection even from his own body. I had dinner with the kids tonight so that was nice took them to the local RSA.

Bogey good to hear from

 

you. Oh poor Ryan. I wish we could all give him a big group hug. Do they really have to put that tube down again? I think you said it was for feeding him. So hard on you too bogey. It's great that Tyler is back at school. It will be so hard on the rest of your family too...so little they can do while Ryan is in isolation. Stay strong bogey...we are all here praying for you. Huge ((((HUGS)))) XXXXXXX

paulaxx (78 )    9:46 pm, 4 Aug


 

1663.

 

yes he needs it not just for the feeds

 

but if the mucusitis gets really bad and he cant swollow they need the NG to get meds down.

Hi Sonia

 

MMMM thought this was going to be a breeze for him, now Im sitting here trying to get it working so he has it for tomorrow. How are you and your beautiful darlings?? In the morning I have to take Teddie for his first haircut - should be interesting. LOL hugs to you

Paula

 

Most of the time if you can't open a zip file it will be because theres an error in it. I would download it again and try again. If you still have no luck I am happy to have a go :)

janetmk1 (39 )    9:49 pm, 4 Aug

Bogeyi

 

I didnt know they used them for meds. Not able to do some through the hickman huh? Josh has asked Chris if he will make a video of him and Cass for Ryan to see. Hope to do that tomorrow. Should be interesting - knowing my kids????

Oh Bogey I wish there was something

 

we could do to help. Poor Ryan with his tubes. I had a terrible night last night and woke up this morning grumpy and full of aches & pains and sat crying in my breakfast then thought of Ryan and told myself to pull myself together.... I'm going thru nothing like he is and now reading about his latest escapade with the dreaded tube, feel really stupid! So I've had my bad day too Sonia. Just getting frustrated that the soreness is getting worse not better. See what next week brings.

it asked me what file I wanted to use to open it and I stupidly selected Windows hoping that might work. It now comes up in heiroglyphics??? Darn!! Tried to do it again and it goes straight to that file? Whoops

Paula I was going to ask

 

about games on the 360 Mr14 wanted to buy one but was told none of the old games would work on the old original one so he opted for a Play Station portable instead. Got to say its brillient. Kids watch movies on it while travelling sharing an earplug each! Oooh thats a lovely new calf... but I don't envy you the next few weeks work!

Paula NG tubes are great all his pamol,blood pressure meds etc can go through there and he dosent need to be wiken, all chemos and hydration fluids, antibiotics, morphine etc go through the hickman. At the moment he has to be woken through the night for his blood pressure meds.

My lumps are OK tonight, yay :o) Just finished my Kahlua hmmmmmmm :o) Hey thats a shame about the farm, sounds like you need Ms Joystik to scout around for you ;o) Hope you find what you're looking for before too long. Have a nice evening :o) PS Loved the smiling pics of Josh, great to see he can keep smiling through all of this, can't wait to meet him xoxoxox

Wish there was something we could all do...

 

to help Ryan, poor little guy and you too bogeyi its heartbreaking watching your kids go through hell.Can they feed him fluid threw a drip for a few days to give him a break?

1675.

 

Kiwikaz sorry to hear

 

B has had another seizure. Hope it wasn't bad. Does it lay him low for a couple of days afterwards? You need to get rid of the bugs before lambing. Hope they mother up well and you don't end up feeding them all! Have a good weekend.
