Enough is enough!

15 years ago

I think I've had my share of bad stuff this year!! I went for the ultrasound. Well, they did do the mammogram first, then they did the ultrasound. They sent a Dr. in and she did an ultrasound also. Well, they inform me that I need to see a Surgeon for an OPEN Breast biopsy. I've about had enough!!

Oh, jamie. You have endured far MORE than your share. But remember - you have endured it. You're strong, despite the unfathomable things that you've gone through in the past year.

Know that you're among loving friends here. (((jamie)))

A car accident... Enough is enough!

So sorry to hear about this - how frustrating! This sounds like my kind of luck. May of this past year, we hit a deer, which totaled our van. We searched forever for a good used van (since the insurance company didn't give us much for ours - it was older, but in mint condition). Our financial situation is not in a position to add another monthly payment. Finally in August we found one that "worked" - although we weren't sure about buying a Chevy. But I needed one by fall, when my craft shows started, so we decided to get it. We got it on Sunday afternoon and Monday I drove it to town and got whammed in the rear end. We hadn't even had the title work done yet. I was sick. But it was fixable and I wasn't hurt - so it all worked out. So glad Carol wasn't hurt anymore than she was - been there done that - triple Advil every 4-6 hrs. was the dr. advice for me - that is prescription strenth. We got hit with 8 or more inches of snow this weekend and as we were shoveling/clearing the drive/sidewalks, I asked my husband if he could imagine climbing on the roof and shoveling it! We just replaced that roof 2 summers ago and I will attest that it was SCAREY being up there when it was dry, let alone snow covered and slippery! I can't even imagine. Hang in there - spring is just around the corner! Arlene

You love it, but enough is enough

So far almost everything I've winter sowed falls into the "enough is enough" category but for now I'm letting them prove they're thugs and will eradicate them next year when I've done a better job of planning. In the meantime, they bloom and provide color. I'll shovel prune 'em next year and plant others in their spaces that (a) I like more; or (b) better suit the location. I did shovel prune Agastache foeniculum 'Golden Jubilee' this weekend and the plants will be taken to the dump as waste. They grew twice the size, height & circumference as indicated on the seed pack. In spring, they're very welcome and the bees love them all season long. I just don't have the space in my borders for their oversized mature growth habit. A. rupestris is much better-behaved and blooms late in the season along with blue mist shrub. Monarda/bee balm got shovel pruned a month ago after it grew 5 ft. tall and leaned out over the edge of the bed where I planted it. The bed gets full sun so I expected it would just grow to 4 ft. and attract bees. I gave it the double strikethrough on my seed growing list. I yanked out all the Phalaris/ribbon grass I had in an isolated corner and will replace it next year with more cardinal flower for the hummingbirds. The ribbon grass was great when I had nothing else to plant but now that I winter sow, it's history.

Very long post....'enough is enough'?

mmommy: If moving out is not an option, look at some other opportunities. Try taking an art class or cooking class. These may seem "dumb" or "boring" but I'm pretty sure (depending on where you live) that bringing your son along probably wouldn't be a problem to those types of classes. A little bigger ambition: go take a literature class or philosophy class and find out if your local community college or university has daycare facilities. Yeah, its some work, but if you do something besides going to work and coming home, you will have to deal with the situation a little less. If you already have your degree, find out about a photog class or what the local art museum has to offer. Ultimately, if you only have about 18 months with SD to be in the home (she may be there longer--don't get excited) then if you start doing something that keeps you and baby boy out of the house, it may make YOU feel better. I know the problems that I encountered repeatedly were because I was HERE repeatedly and let the situation get too far (we're getting divorced because of SK's and especially EX and husbands inability to tell her NO). Hindsight (20/20) if I had been here a little less, I believe some of our problems would have been a little less tense and my attention would have been focused elsewhere. Despite the fact that I am in school (online) it would have behooved me to have been at the art museum some weekends (lol). Think about it and see what you can come up with....I know a lot will depend on what you can do with your son b/c you don't want to leave him at home and subjected to SD, but you may be able to come up with a good deal somewhere. simply

That's a shame. The "enough is enough" is exactly how I feel each time the death of another member of our armed services is announced....innocent lives just as important as any well-known person.

Jamie, I've had two surgical breast biopsies, and with my family history of breast cancer, my outlook has always been "when" not "if." But both times I was told that the biopsy was benign. So, please, keep a good attitude and don't automatically assume that you'll get a bad result, just because you're having a surgical biopsy.

I have had the mammogram, ultrasound and open breast biopsy twice and I did not have cancer either time. The second time was a little scary while I was waiting for the results. I hope you have a good report.

Jamie, I know all this is scary because I've been through it all. Mammogram, ultrasound, and tests. My BC surgery was in July, 2008. I have been cancer free since then. You have had a rough two years but you can make it, I know it. Hang in there, take each day at a time. Saying a prayer for you. Judy

I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I've had a number of breast biopsy surgeries, and they have all been benign. One time they were pretty sure it was malignant, but it wasn't. Remember that 85% are benign. You will be sore for a couple of days, then good as new.

You are in my special thoughts and prayers. Keep the faith and remember that you have a very special angel watching over you. Keep us posted on your progress. Hugs!

(((((((((Jamie)))))))))) So sorry to hear this, I hope you get a good report back.
I went for a ultasound yesterday myself and waiting for the results. Seem like lots of people are having tons of troubles. I Just had a death in the family Monday also. When it rains it pours.

Be grateful you have thorough docs. Most biopsies are benign, and if it's not, they may catch it early and it just won't be so bad--I've been there and done that, and it was just nothing that was awful.

Jamie, I know it all seems overwhelming right now but this is just a little bump in the road compared to what you've been through this past year. You're hanging strong and will continue to do so because you have all of us pulling for you. Thank God you have thorough doctors. This, too, shall pass. (((Jamie)))

Thanks everyone for the kind words and thoughts. I'm trying hard, really I am. But I can say this makes me want a cigarette bad! But, it's been 4 months since I've had a puff. I can't/won't start now. Again, I thank all of you!

I had this done, too, Pookie (surgery, cyst removals, anesthesia, etc) and I was back at work, packing and shipping and framing, the next day, with only tiny, minor discomfort. Hopefully you'll get good results and you can stop worrying! Keep a good thought, Pooks!

Enough is enough!
