Mary, you've got a lot on your hands. I had a lump removed last year, and it was benign, but that didn't mean that I wasn't way spooked by the experience. To have to do that and take care of a mother with a mastectomy would be really scary. I will keep you in my thoughts.

Hi,
Just checking in for today.3 wines & I am going to bed now. OK day. I feel very bad that I have not kept up with everyone. I want to -- when I get my energy back. I read through today's post ..and....

Thank you all so much for thinking of me -- I am just not used to that. And I really appreciate it. And I think you are all totally wonderful & inspirational.

I hate, hate the thought Kathy, but I am going to have to follow you someday into absville. So so scary.

Anyway, you are all "phenomenal women". I feel blessed to have found you. If I could just step up...

Oh yes -- msg received from you all & universe -- getting back into the CDs (thx - yes good for back pain) & altho I hate swallowing pills will do the GABA daily as experiment to see if it works. Then move on to other supps to try to find most effective. Also I really want to get back into regular exercise. I have to really. Too old not to. Since I started on the topa in April my exercise has been bare minimum -- just couldn't move from the drug.

I hope I can maintain something. Feel very pathetic & a failure at the moment -- all of it - -the topa not working (had high hopes), not exercising enough, drinking hard liquor again. Oh dear. I hope I can get it together for a good week next week.

I have never been this open or honest about the details of how I feel myself regarding this or much of anything else so up close in. This is new.

Well rambling. Those icons on the right are starting to look like friends. Funny.

Thank you all. Hope everyone has a good night.

Not Rambling!!

Hey Chrysa,

You're not rambling at all. In fact, you move me greatly!! Maybe this honesty is new to you, but it inspires me to be more honest myself, and it seems to come naturally to you. I also know what you mean about those silly little folks starting to look like friends too!! NOW THAT IS SCARY!!!

I'm sorry that you are so tired. The exhaustion comes through in your post. If you understand football at all, I hope you can understand this analogy. I don't think you have failed. You just didn't make the first down this time, so you can't go for the touchdown this time around. You have to drop back and punt for now. But you will get the ball back and try again!! Lots of us, including me, don't get this right the first time.

Anyway, I have to run to work now, but I'll be back later. Hope to see you on today's thread. I just had to respond to your post from what is now yesterday!

Love,
Kathy
