Well Hi there Georgette!

   Honestly Lady I don't see how you do it. Carousing around partying all night, night after night. When I stay up late a couple of nights I wind of having to sleep it off a day or so later to catch up on my sleep. I don't know what I would do if I wasn't able to get my retired girl naps.
   I'm glad you enjoy your nightlife escapades. More power to you if you can get away with it.

  Hugs,
    Laurie

Laurie, thoughts and prayers are with you today, not only for the best news possible but those WTF moments become less in numbers and intensity. Just went through one myself so your post struck home.

  Hi Denni,

  It's rare to see a comment from you on my thread, but lady, you are most welcome here as is everyone else. Yes those funk days are not a lot of fun are they? I hope yours wasn't very long and that you manager to get your head back in the right space. Talking with friends that can challenge your low thoughts or just listen can be a great help. I felt pretty good afterwards. I hope you do too.

Hugs,
   Laurie

Thank you Kendra,

  I changed my mind on what I will wear, Taking Cindy's advice I opted for practicality ever stunning looks. lmao !. I did want to look nice for my oncology and therapy appointments but yoga pants and my transgender veteran T-shirt make more sense. Oh well.

Hey everyone,

   My glow in the dark day is history and the verdict from my oncologist was in my favor !!  Another clean bill of health ! Well for three more months that is. I'm thinking I need to negotiate a longer warranty. 3 months seems to go by all too soon. But it does go to remind a person that life and health isn't a given. Life is fragile and in many instances all too short.
   Not only did I get a good result from the CT Scan, I found out I've lost 8 pounds since my last weigh in 3 months ago. I know 8 lbs in 3 months isn't much, but when you consider I have been slowly gaining weight for almost 3 years  3 - 4 lbs every 3 three months, it's something. # months ago I felt good that I had not gain any weight but I hadn't lost any. I'm now at 196 down from 204. Color me happy. I do not think I have ever intentionally lost weight in my life.

   Tomorrow I see my GP to discuss my HRT. I'm hoping he will increase my Estradiol again but of of course that will depend on the lab results. E was at 154 last time and he wants to see it over 200. My E results were not back yet. My Testosterone was up last time  for some reason to 200 when it had bee at 70. I saw today that it was down lower that I've seen it previously it dropped to 30. At least T was down again and in the right neighborhood. So we'll see what the doctor thinks tomorrow.

  All is well with me and the world today.

  I also saw my therapist today and related the fairy tale of Laurie's road adventure and subsequent decision to stay herself full time. He thoroughly enjoyed the tale. So did I as in the telling , this girl suffered from those ocular leaks that seems to be becoming a common occurrence. I can't imagine why telling the story of a simple road trip visiting other ladies should have that effect on me, But it did. I had to break out a tissue even. (I now carry a few in my purse)  Sometimes I'm such a girl.

Speaking of being a girl, last night I took back my bralette and got a larger size. Just in case I bought a leisure bra too. Then I decided to look at sandals. I found a cute pair ON SALE for $5.98 normally $19.99. Then I saw another cute pair with high heels in my size right on the top shelf and they to were ON SALE for $9.88 normally $32.99.  Yes, I bought them both for less than a dollar more than a pair I had picked out already (those went back on the shelf)

Picture of them below.

Hugs,
   Laurie

Great news Laurie. The only thing I found out was the next appointments are being made with a smile of 'Oh that's just before Christmas'. I'm not even ready to think about Christmas.

Laurie justifiably has a huge following and a massive amount of friends. Line forms at the rear.

Laurie this is indeed great news on your first oncology visit after full time.  Losing eight pounds in 3 months is significant and a healthy rate of change.  Also consider this is with HRT which some members have observed makes weight management a bit more challenging. 

Nice heels but you don't need to click them together.  You know how to drive to Kansas and beyond.
