Complaints?

[Deleted]

I'm in a horrible mood, I didn't sleep at all last night. We took down our bed frame, which is ridiculous and took forever and slept on the mattress on the floor. It was horribly uncomfortable. The new bed is coming today. AF is also starting and I just feel blah along with other things. 

Please share your misery. 

[partiallysunny]

I'm sorry, DL. That sounds miserable.

I'm actually in a pretty good mood today. I'm feeling accomplished.

[bowies]

I pulled a muscle in my shoulder last week and it still hurts like holy hell. My range of motion is crap and sleeping at night is tough because I can't just change positions on a whim. I also have a UTI.

I've started receiving random issues of Redbook. I think this is the universe's passive aggressive way of telling me I'm old and should have a few things under my belt by now. What am I supposed to do with a magazine that tells me how to spice up my marriage and manage my unruly kids?

[partiallysunny]

I thought of something!



I was going to make King Cake last night because today is MARDI GRAS, but I forgot. If I start it when I get home from work maybe I can still have some later tonight.

[esdreturns]

I haven't left the house since Feb. 3rd. My kids are driving me crazy. I slept like crap last night.

[Muddled]

I didn't sleep at all last night, either, which means I feel like shit today.

I'm behind on things that I have no good excuse for and it's all catching up to me.



DL, enjoy your new mattress.

Bowies, quit having so much sex!

[motzie]

My new coworker is too efficient. The last two people in this role have sucked, so about 50% of my time was spent supporting that position. I thought I'd be glad to have it gone, but now I'm just bored. Wah.

So we're all a bunch of sleep deprived crabby crabs today?

Speaking of crabby, where has she been??

[smock]

I'm grumpy too. I had a bunch of last-minute things to do this morning before teaching, which always stresses me out, and then for some reason I feel like my face looks ugly today.

Your face is never ugly!

The universe is funny.  I have been getting Ebony.  I'm not ebony.

ESD--I gave you an out

Bowies, muddled and DL--sorry about your crappy sleep.

I have 2 complaints. I'm needy (or bitchy?).

1) I called my doc yesterday to get on some meds. She called me and it went straight to VM. I called right back and didn't get her. Called again today and she is out of the office. Argh.

2) I was supposed to find out if I needed chemo 1-2 weeks after surgery. I called yesterday and spoke with the surgeon (yay!). She told me they took my case to the tumor board and they couldn't decide. So they set tissue out for onco-typing in order to decide about the chemo. This means several more weeks of waiting. Sigh.

[fussbucket]

I have a stomach bug coming on. I feel like crap (home from work) and every time I burp it tastes like fish in my mouth thanks to the fish oil pill I took -- at 10pm last night!

Bully, I hope you get some answers soon! Of all the not-pleasant things about your situation, not knowing shit has to be maddening.

They can (or could have) decide before your next surgery? I'm sorry you have to wait.

They may have a decision before the next surgery. It was all really up in the air and was left as "well, if you need chemo, we will call you". Greeeeaaat. I really wouldn't care as much but if I need chemo, I plan on doing egg harvesting. It would have been awesome if I would know far in advance so I could get that done instead of running around crazy like last minute.

Can you prepare as if you will need chemo and then it's a happy celebration day if you find out you don't? If it's feasible, you could go ahead and schedule an appt and cancel it if you don't end up needing it.

Since they gave you so much time between surgeries and since your lymph nodes are clean, there is a good chance that you will have some time to take care of things.

But, yes, the holding pattern will always be frustrating, no matter what.

Ugh waiting sucks. 

[pinkplasticdoll]

I slept for 2 hours, had 2 test back to back. It's fucking raining, I want to do a epic microphone drop when I leave my job because I'm a mature adult.

[starrieskies]

Ugh, bully, I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. You're handling it all so well! You inspire me!

I haven't slept well in a few days. My shoulder is killing me (old injury from a car accident), DS has been in rare form right around bed time, and I'm anxious to find out about H's potential new job. He said we'd know today...

And I want a cookie. A big, soft, peanut butter cookie. But all I have are life savers.

[gault]

I want to hug everyone who slept like shit last night and give them their booze of choice.
I'll give myself a margarita. Woke up at around 3 am and tossed until 7. GRRRRR

Bully, crossing fingers for you!

Well, my insurance won't pay for the harvesting unless I need chemo. And then my doc has to fill out all this paperwork to send over to the insurance company requesting authorization. So I'm kinda stuck. I guess mentally I'm already gearing myself up for needing it. I'm more worried about the stress of running around trying to get the egg harvesting done and then starting chemo. If I wasn't working I would feel better about having the time to do it all.

[Wrath0fKuus]

I'm grumpy because I got myself a bottle of my favorite iced tea and refrigerated it to take to work today, and then forgot it. But that's pretty minor compared to Bully's complaint.

Please and thank you. I'll take a margarita too.

The UTI is from a bath I took.  The pulled shoulder is from sex.  YWIA!

Bully, I hope you hear something sooner rather than later.   

[motzie]

I'm sorry Bully. I hope they can tell you soon. Not knowing and not being able to prepare yourself either way sucks.

[neonpink]

I'm sorry Bully. I the unknown answer bit really sucks. I f-in hate cancer and everything that goes with it.

I couldn't sleep last night so went and tried to sleep on the sofa so I wouldn't wake H. I feel moody and irritable about it. Why can't I sleep!
