Badgercat, I hope all went well for your friend. Insurance problems stink...

Dear Highly Esteemed Wonderful Physicians
thank you for the good news (that the cancer is receding due to radiation and chemotherapy) I am glad that each of you thinks that just your medicine (or your surgical procedure) is all he needs but we really need to do the best thing for DH. Can't you guys arm wrestle or something and figure it out?

Mimi - that is AWESOME news! Hopefully the medical staff can figure out what needs to happen to keep things going in this direction.

Hang tough! And best wishes to you and RaleighDon.

Mimi- yay for positive news! Hope they figure out what is working the best to keep the side-effects as minimal as possible.

Yea Mimi! Doctors are so hard to deal with - you need a psychology degree sometimes!

[maillotpois]

Hooray for the good news! And if they do arm wrestle, could you get photos?

Sorry Catrin....
I hope your visit with your mom will be a good one and not too hard.

Yay, Mimi and Don! Hope things keep going in the right direction

Thanks... they pushed the procedure back again, to Saturday or maybe even Monday, still pending insurance. But he's stable and in relatively good spirits, so all we can do is hope that things go smoothly whenever they do happen...

Warm thoughts for everyone on TE who are or have loved ones going through health issues!

Oh, ugh badgercat, that kind of stuff makes me so angry. Sending calm and healing thoughts to your friend.

Dear thyroid. Thank you for responding to the meds. Arguably, you've responded a little too well, so we're cutting the dose in half to a miniscule 2 1/2 grams per day. Please find a happy medium between being over- and underactive. While I feel much better now, I didn't like the number on the doctor's scale this morning. I can blame the wool sweater and boots, but it still appears you've made me pack on a few pounds. On a more positive note, I like that my BP was 106/60 and that my sitting-in-a-chair-not-quite-resting heartrate was down 18 beats to 62. I can only assume that my truly resting HR is in the 50s (although I plan to measure it this weekend). That's more like it. Now I can start running again and hit some harder MTB trails! Woot!

Yayyyy! BTW, are you considering trying out the trails at Versailles? What little I saw of it when I met Sally there was quite nice.

DH and I haven't looked into Versailles. We have talked about going down to French Lick, however. Our fall is relatively busy though (what else is new?), so I'll be content to stick to BCSP until next year if we just can't find the time.
