bean-tor Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Just returned from the orthopedist. MRI looks pretty good. No more surgeries. Making progress... ...life is good! Very happy...extremely uncomfortable but happy! Sorry to hear that you're extremely uncomfortable (hope that'll improve soon!), but I am SO GLAD to hear all of the rest! This is excellent news! :ebert: Thank you so much! I injured my knees on 28 March... ...almost a year ago. It's been a rough year. I feel happy to be (finally) moving in the right direction. Chronic pain really ages you. I'm looking forward to feeling young again in the very near future. You're welcome! That's a long, rough year indeed! I'm glad that youthful feeling is coming back up around the corner for you :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldRUSHfan Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 We don't have cardinals here either. Or blue jays. I miss them because we had plenty of them back on the East Coast. But we have plenty of crows and woodpeckers and robins. Also, in the summer, lots of little birds (not sure what they are) that sing the prettiest little tune. They flit from branch to branch. Sometimes hang upside down (no, they're not bats!!). I love listening to and watching them. We have tons of Cardinals in our area of Michigan. The Downy woodpecker from last year is back....smaller blue and black birds that go down a tree trunk facing downward are called Nut Hatches (I LOVE those!) We have smaller birds also that have long and beautiful songs. Haven't found out what they are specifically yet, but I hear them every spring/summer/fall...wish I could find the box that alla my bird books are in....I have a cassette tape of birdsongs :musicnote: :banana: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Funny how a person's perspective on many things can be changed in an instant. A lump was found on my breast by my doctor.

I think that is such a scary thing to find, but you definitely did the right thing by going to the doctor. My doctor says that he gets frustrated because many women find one and then wait a year or two before they tell him because they are too nervous. I''ll keep my fingers crossed for you- 80% of breast lumps turn out to be benign. Edited May 31, 2016 by blueschica 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst thing you can do is weaken your body with worry! I know easier said than done but true. You need positive holistic energy flowing in your veins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Praying for you Lorraine and echo all of the kind words of encouragement and advice by the others. I'm sure it is difficult not to be stressed and worried, but try to remain positive and optimistic. You've got the whole of the TRF community in your corner. Love, hope, strength to you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I hadn't looked at this thread for a little while...prayers and healing wishes to all of you who need them. I've been highly preoccupied with some things going on at my job, and haven't been around to read much of what's gone on on the forum. I wish everyone well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucey Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Just want to add my support for Lorraine, I'm sure you'll be okay. As has been mentioned and as I'm sure you already know you have the support of everyone here! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Got an email from my doctor this AM - pap smear normal and most other tests. Cholesterol high and she wants to put me on medication for that. I don't know why or how it is so high since I don't eat that much. Does this mean I can't eat bacon anymore? :( The big test is Wednesday morning at 8. Would greatly appreciate any and all prayers that the lump is nothing. Thank you.
