Progesterone, assorted other hormones and fluffy cake

Morning fluffies
Lesley I really hope your heads better today and your feeling better in yourself what a rotten week xxxxxxx
Oh Ann what a nightmare I wouldn’t mind the smell for a bit but definitely not the sticky floor. Xxx
Janey that’s all you need blooming vertigo!! I hope you can get some help with that my son suffered with it a few years ago it was awful. Hope you have a good day today xxxxx
Helena how lovely I love catching up with old friends especially when it doesn’t feel like you’ve spent time apart. I’m glad the snow has gone now it is beautiful but not practical. I’m looking forward to the post ? Xxxx
Delly I’m so sorry to hear about your friend hope your feeling ok lots of love xxxxx
I’m home today the rash is still here and I’m off to the drs at 11.30 just to get reassurance so I’ll let you know how I get on
Hope you all have a lovely day xxx

Morgan and French are the jewellers xxx

Well that was interesting I’ve either got a viral rash or an allergic rash advice was to take antihistamines and go back next week if it doesn’t clear up . Glad I’m seeing the bc nurse tomorrow it’s just bizarre xxxx

Glad you got it checked out Clair. I think it’s often hard to diagnose rashes, so good to get your BCN to look as well.Is it tomorrow you’re going to look at prostheses? Good luck with that, I know I can’t wait to get rid of Bertha, but it has made a huge difference to me knowing I look okay. This time last year I was permanently wearing a scarf to hide my lopsided look, and I was in the middle of rads and slowly cooking!

 

Gosh, what a lot’s happened in a year. Many thanks to you all, I don’t know how I’d have got through it all without you.

Hi Dizzy yep tomorrow is prosthesis day I’m in early which is good , I do hope it does help especially with the lymphedema as that’s still uncomfortable.
How are you doing today ? Xxx

Blooming tamoxifen has a lot to answer for !! I do like tiding cupboards even though like you I’m the only one who notices unless I decide to move things about just to confuse everyone ? Xxx

Morning Lovelies,

 

Clair - That really is weird. Why would your rash start on your affected side, that is the question?? Hope you get some answers to day and that’s a nice positive thing ( I think and hope ), having your prothesis fitting.

LesleyLush - Hope you get rid of your nasty cold now, in the run up so you’ll be in fine feckle for Xmas. Mmmm, can smell the hot toddies from here ! any excuse me thinks (wink wink). Has your friend family or someone who’s ill in Dorset, as you say mission of mercy ??

Charys - Hello flower. Yes, all a bit weird. After so much sleep Mon Tues, thought I’d be sleeped out, but went to bed sleepy at 7pm of my last post Wed, and slept through till Thurs morn ! How’s you and hows little Fang? Are we soon expecting to soon see you bejewelled and dazzling, a la Ivana Trump? 

Zoe - How you doing? Any better? My looney hour the other day, was trying to cheer you up ?:smileytongue: wasn’t being demeaning to your down state. Though I’m serious about N.Z. (might come and just hi-jack Glowee if “you’re” not interested) :heart: 

Janey - Are you still taking the Phenergan tabs to help with sleep? Or did you kick them into touch with your onset of vertigo? I mentioned the anti-hist Nytol based gave me dreadful vertigo, so was just wundrin. How was the works Doooooo?

DarlinDizz - Am thinking of you, as have one of our favourite programmes on in the background as I’m typing, Jane girl. You sure your hubby keeps suggesting a midday lie down to rest :smileywink:? How’s the boob now?? You still feeling more up? Hope so.

Ann - Thanks, yeh was a shock to hear about friends wife, another Ann. I’d kept thinking to get in touch and have a walk to see them when I was feeling more “up”. They’ve been very kind to me since moving here, had a couple meals and jolly nights together at theirs. Do you think your husband had done a bit too much “tasting” whilst doing whatever he was supposed to have been doing with his brew, hic ?!! 

 

Think I’ve left my days quota of ??'s. Can’t say I feel any better from my lush juice abstinance, not that I’m an alcoholic. Probably wouldn’t admit to it if I were, but thought it worth a try to see if I felt any better. Need to get out today to replenish rather empty fridge and cupboards and also charge up the not much used car with a run whilst it’s such a lovely clear crisp day. 

Love to everyone

Hello fluffies ?
So I got some answers today ! my boobies are now and forever will be ultra sensitive and every time I my antibodies kick in it’s highly likely I’ll get the rash back which I’ll need to remember so I don’t panic but my bc nurse said I did the right thing to get it checked that was a big relief.
Then I discovered I’m a totally different bra size than I thought and I couldn’t get my prosthesis fitted today because my lymphedema is so bad. So I’m booked in for lymphedema clinic next week hopefully I can get on top of it then go back for another fitting I did have a try and look and feel and they give much more support than I thought. So it’s not been a total wasted day I learnt a lot.
Hope everyone has had a lovely day xxxx

Hi Claireee - I must have missed some of your posts with ref to your lymphoedema, sorry. So I’m gathering it’s involving your boob area then, as you’ve just mentioned an increase in bra size. I’ve only ever heard of it affecting arms. Well that and your rash results are a shame, but as you said, from your putting a positive slant on your day, you’ve learned more about what’s going on. Thank you for yours and have some kisses back l’il darlin xxxx

Hi Delly I didn’t know either it was the radiotherapy that’s done the damage to my lymph nodes ?. I might need a compression bra! Xxx
Helena I’m a smaller fit underneath but a bigger cup but I’m going to get checked again when everything has settled. I’m still eagerly waiting for the post xxx

There is a definite delay with the post as I’m still waiting on a few presents I’ve ordered I’m sure it’ll be here soon xx

I’m joining the Robin colour query. Two Xmas cards with actual photos of Robins, both have white feathers under the red. Is it Winter plummage, or adult plummage? Did soomeone settle this earlier on and I missed it? Bird book’s in a box somewhere, but I’ll Google it to satisfy my curiosity. I think I’ve always thought of them just as a red breast on brown, but they’re not are they - both sexes and throughout the year. So much for my observational skills (and memory!!) xxxx 

I think they’ve altered the colour on the images Delly, as Ive got a photo one here that looks almost white underneath and red chest. They aren’t they are just a light beigey colour, but the photo has been lightened and brightened…thats my theory anyway.

I think this might answer our questions, the european robin

Afternoon fluffies everywhere

 

apologies I’ve not been around much lately. Everything remains a bit crazy… Mum seems to be getting a bit weaker week on week; still waiting for the scan results on her husband; my lump is still there but no bigger so roll on the 27th and my lymphedema hasn’t been great this last week or so. On top of that CHRISTMAS IS COMING lol and how I’ve not shouted at someone in the shops I’ll never know. In a couple of words…I’m tired. 

Hubbies work do tonight and looking forward to getting my glad rags on and having a change of scenery. 

 

Hope you are all ok out there

sending Christmas love to everyone xxx

Hello fluffies ?
Beth it’s lovely to hear from you sorry to hear about your mum and your partner what a worrying time. I’m off to the lymphedema clinic next week and hopefully will get some of this fluid off it’s really painful at the moment! Xxxx
