Hello ladies and gents.

O.K. need the Pink Wonder bus today at 1:30 Pacific time. So Rachael---- not too early just for you. I hope you have had more than one cup of coffee. Or perhaps seeing as how you kept hitting all the curbs last time---we should find us another driver. You think you can keep us on the road in a straight manner and not hit all the roof-tops???? I know you want to join us in the back of the bus to visit and drink with our Cabana boys. However---tomorrow we will NOT need them as Dr. Dreamy will be with us. LOL LOL LOL LOL.....

Today I meet my NEW Onc Dr. Please pray he has a great sense of humor like the other did. Otherwise, I am so busted. LOL

Geez, I wonder how Young or Old he will be. Please, Lord, don't let him be Young. I couldn't handle another young one. LOL LOL.

I just hope he has read my chart before I get in there as I hate up-dating these Dr's and educating them. LOL. I will for sure let you know how it went. I have to remember to behave myself tho, as I am running out of Onc Dr's in my local area. Go Figure that one????

Yes, I don't seem to have much luck with Dr's lately. My Old Onc Dr kept calling me his "Problem Child" to my face for 6 long years. UGH. The one I liked so well----up and QUIT in July. Then my Lung Dr doesn't think I trust him with my care. Geez, now you see why I am running out of Doctors!?!?!?!??!?!?

Then tomorrow YES, tomorrow I go up to see Dr. Dreamy. I am already so nervous on that one. I am scared these stupid antibotics are not doing their job. First question I will ask him----if they are not working---WHAT is next???

One thing that is so funny------My DH is now calling him Dr. Dreamy also. I think that is just hysterical ??!?!?!?!?

Life does take it's twists and turns for sure. Guess that is why it is called the "Journey of Life"!!!!!

Thanks for listening
Jan

Jan, YOU, a problem child???? I think not! Can't believe he quit - that is the pits. It is so hard to develop a relationship with a doc only to have them up and leave - blah!

OMG, so very funny your DH is called this doc Dr. Dreamy - LOL!

Well, you know I am on board and checked to make sure Pinkie has plenty of gas and there are lots of drinks, snacks, hot cabana boys.

Hoping and praying the antibiotics are doing their job.

hugs,
Jenna

Thanks Jenna,

Yes, I thought that was so funny my DH now calling him Dr.Dreamy. The other thing he said after my Bronchoscopy, when he actually met Dr. Dreamy was just as funny. A friend, my DH and I were going downtown to dinner one night. I--- of course---- was telling this friend all about the Handsome Dr. Then I asked DH what did you think of him, you saw him. Long pause---then he said, "I know one thing if you were 32 yrs younger---There is NO (blankity--Blank Way) YOU would be seeing this Doctor"!!!!! (What does he think at my age I AM harmless???) LOL LOL HA!!!! We were all laughing so hard at his statement. If you knew my stocic and (DO not show any emotion in public) you would see how totally funny his statement was. Guess I got his attention tho, after all these years.

Have a good day.

We're with you, Jan...and we all have put our boxing gloves on just in case this doc gives our Friend any trouble!!! (Which I'm sure he won't!! Tho' no guarantees as to his age!! Doogie Houser was comical only because we were all so young ourselves...Today? Not so much!! Isn't there a law that doctors, ball players and priests should all be older than us...always???????)

Anyway, keep in mind that just as you present a brand new individual to him, he also presents a brand new doc to you...Keep humming "Getting to know you..." and give it time! Okay???

We are with you today..and especially tomorrow! Too funny that hubby calls him DM now!! Incidentally, should he ever ask why we refer to each of our hubbies as"DH," tell him that it means "DREAMY Husband"!!!!! That should please him, right?!

Blessings now and always!
Rachael

(NOW LOOKIE THERE!!!!!!! You said naughty things about my driving, and yet I was so sweet!!!! Just remember that, Gal!! )

OK Jan, I'm with you today but we have to share Pinkie tomorrow. But my appointment is at 10:30 eastern time, so I'm sure Rachael can put her into overdrive and get you to Dr. Dreamy in plenty of time.

It is certainly amusing that your DH calls him Dr. Dreamy, too!

Hope everything goes well with your new oncologist!

Hugs,
Michelle

OMG---Thanks for the laugh this AM. Rachael, you are tooooo much. Doogie Houser indeed!!! I had forgot about him. LOL. Yes there should be a LAW about Drs. ball players and priests should all be older than us. How about we start a petition on that one??? But on the other hand---these Young Docs do have more current and up-to-date info on how to treat us. At least I hope so. LOL

Love that Song "Getting to Know You"!!!! You are so right. I must put my best foot forward. Or at least put my best face on. LOL.

Hey, your driving last time left a lot to be desired, let me tell you. I had a heck's of a time grabbing that rope to hitch a ride as "Pinkie" was flying over. LOL.

You are so awesome tho.

Ah Michelle, Will share Pinkie tomorrow. I am sure I can go see Dr. Dreamy all by myself. Just thought all the other ladies just MIGHT want to catch a glimpse of him. LOL

Best of luck tomorrow Michelle. I am praying your team has some good options for you. Sending all good thoughts your way. Thanks goodness, you are in the area where all the great Doc's are.

That was really funny on the other post---I did read "Pup" not Pupil. I even have new glasses. LOL

Sending you a big bouquet of summer flowers just for you.

No problem, Michelle! Pinkie is one hecks of a "veee-hikle" (as it is pronounced on one of our local tv ads!)...She can zip faster than a drunk peeing in a convent! ( I haven't the slightest idea what that means as it just popped into my wee-brain and I typed it 'cause it struck me as funny! )

We will be beside you all the way!

Blessings.
Rachael

Hi Jan,

May I add my very best wishes and good thoughts for you today. As the new kid on the block I'll take the very back seat on Pinkie but I'll offer to mix the pink cocktails for all.

Best of luck too with Dr. Dreamy tomorrow. I'll add that my surgeon is an older version of your Dr. D., gray hair but the most beautiful, piercing blue eyes, reminiscent of Paul Newman. How'd I get so lucky? Please, someone, let me know what DH stands for.
Sending many hugs,

Janie

Rachael67 replied to vajanie's response:
Hey, New Kid!!!! (Love that reference!)

Well, Janie, DH is the way we refer to our husbands...What those letters stand for often depends on our mood and their behavior! The usual interpretation is for "Dear" Or "Darling". However, on certain occasions the term "Damn" is more fitting!

Now, some of our more saucy members may have found even more creative adjectives, but I'll let you think on that one!

Blessings, New Kid!!

No toenails??? But I'm overdue for a pedicure :<(

And I don't dare go because my feet are still a little sensitive from the hand/foot syndrome and my non-English-speaking pedicurist can be a little overly rough with the foot massage and heel buffing! I guess I'll just have to do the polish change on my own. Or maybe I can get DH to do it for me...hahaha!

Rachael, you win the best line of the week contest! LOL! How funny! Thanks for making me laugh on this rainy dark day.

Michelle, you reminded me how sensitive my toes were for so long after taxol treatments. The neuropathy was so bad I never could have gotten a pedicure. It was about 2 years before it felt somewhat comfortable. The things so many people would have no clue of the crazy things we endure!

Well Pinkie is set for Michelle and Jan today. We have the sugar-free snacks but sweet cabana boys ready to serve whatever you girls want today!!!!

hugs & flowers ~
Jenna
