Night Howls

Hello Night Howls been a while since been on here. Last time was during AC and I had itchy scalp that was in June. Finished treatment 3 weeks ago but the night time so hard to sleep. I'm just on the oral Tamoxifen now. Sorry don't do night sedation. Hope you beautiful ladies have a great Christmas. All I want for Christmas is to lose weight, a pain free shoulder with good ROM , infection, Seroma free boob , nice toenails and IIleft boob that doesn't look so like a prune. An a bit more hair on my head. Blimin hair on arms and legs is growing back with a vengeance that part I didn't miss.
And the energy to move house, pack and clean before Jan 12. I'm managing 3 to 4 hrs sleep at night with nap during day. Thank goodness for my kids, family and friends and belief in the Almighty. Otherwise I would be a mental case Good night Sweet Night Owls.1 -
@Annie C how horrible for u - that would of been so horrible and I’m sorry that hubby doesn’t get it but he may feel really bad and keeping his emotions close to his chest maybe??
@Jullie I have been on tamoxifen for 6 months now and sleep, fluid retention and brain fog are my worst problems and of course the brain fog gets worse when I sleep badly. It has no rhyme or reason - sometimes I won’t sleep to badly and then other weeks like this week I’ll manage 4 hours a night. Surprising my body is getting used to trudging through a 12 hour work day on minimal sleep. Took a melatonin last night and that helped a little bit and tonight is temazepam Thursday

@jullie I'd love to have the old me back for Christmas! Wouldn't that be great? Good luck with the packing and moving.
@Annie C Embarrassing for sure - but would you feel the same if your boobs matched? If I look back on the times that I have inadvertently flashed or walked in on someone, I think that I am more embarrassed by being the viewer than the object viewed, only because I feel that I have been at fault and invaded their privacy. And my guess is, that even if it appeared that he copped an eyeful, he was probably so mortified that he glazed over anyway. Regardless, unless he's an impressionable 18yo who doesn't know any better, he's probably mature enough to understand that it is what it is.2 -
@AnnieC if Rick is any sort of friend you should both be able to pretend it didn't happen. How would you feel if your circumstances were reversed? You probably think 'Didn't need to see that' and then life would go on as normal.
I've been busted naked in the bath out the back (I really could use a dog that would bark when someone walks through the side gate), been sprung nudie gardening (the house next door has been abandoned, how was I to know some random dude would peer over the fence) wandered topless into the hallway to find someone standing at the screen door (damn useless dog again) and that's just in the last couple of years. I refuse to apologise--if the onlooker is shocked, they are shocked, that's their problem. I've certainly been caught in much more compromising situations in the past so maybe experience has made me sanguine about this stuff.
So, I need a noisier dog and you need a noisier husband--I suspect we are stuck with the ones we have, useless as they may sometimes be

@ Sister, Thank you . Hmm husband commented one day wouldn't it be great if we could swap your old parts with good parts? I'm like I feel the same about you to love of my life
@ Kiwi Angel, that maybe why I feel swollen and heavy, fluid retention. But the heat up here in Qld just makes me sweat like crazy.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Beautiful Ladies. I hope this year will be a good one for all of us.

OMG .... Ann ... I just had to laugh .... (sorry!)
i hope that Ian is a real gentleman and can look you in the eye again next time you meet socially .... or just pre-empt him by saying. “Wanna see it again?” And laugh??
I’ve been running the gauntlet with my BIL visiting just now .... I still run to the shower ‘in the nick’ but am confident I won’t bump into him, as he sleeps in til after 9 every morning!! LOL
Dont you. HATE tinnitus? Take care xxxx0 -
Ah ladies
You lot really are better than a "shrink". You have put the incident back where it belongs. Minor in the scale of things in our lives. So thankyou everyone.
And who comes to retired peoples houses before 7:30 am!
And I can laugh about it now.6 -
A sneaky visitor caught hanging off the railing beside the still open door just before I went to bed. 2km walk to drop it off in the wetlands. Needless to say I did not get to bed early. I am starting to wish I had a dollar for every one caught. It's mounting up.

Way back on November 5, I posted about a very unsatisfactory visit to a GP at my local practice about some weird thing that was going on with my finger. Sat on the x-ray referral for weeks, unable to do anything about it as I didn't want to go back to that GP and everything was just too hard. Finally, on my psychologist's advice, I rang the GP clinic last week and spoke to my usual GP (he replaced the one who deserted us for Orange) who at the time of the original appointment was booked up until end of January. I explained the problem I had had with my visit and he told me to go ahead with the x-ray and made an appointment for me for this morning. Nothing sinister, I have probably injured my finger some time over the last year without realising it and done some tendon damage (on top of the beginnings of arthritis, which apparently makes it easier for the tendon to slip). Now booked in to see an orthopaedic guy mid-January and probably surgery to repair it.
Lesson learnt from this schmozzle? I am nowhere near back to the person I was prior to BC; I have no resilience and, while sometimes I can surprise myself, I have to let go of my own expectation of being able to cope with small or large obstacles. Baby steps... Other lesson is not to let the bastards get me down.1 -
It's difficult, isn't it, to identify the precise point where 'You seem a bit disorganised' can be rediagnosed as 'You are screwing me around, you bastard.' For clarification, bastard in this context applies to both sexes of humans and animals, businesses, and various bits of inorganic matter.
It used to be quite easy to decide when to make a complaint or escalate an old one. When to spring into action and Get Stuff Done. Not now. It's all too bloody hard. Inertia rules and it doesn't take much for me to decide I'll have a nap/glass of wine/frontal lobotomy or what ever else it takes to aid the ignoring of a problem.
More surgery @sister. You Bewdy. I can only imagine how long I could manage to delay that. What's wrong with going through life with only 9 functional fingers? Bit like my hammer toe--organize to have a steel rod put though it? Not even in my dreams. I hope. Mxx

Damn, that's annoying! Good that you are getting it checked out, @Sister & hope that it may be rectified 'easily', without surgery? Tho once you see a surgeon, that is all they want to do, eh??
I agree with all yours and @Zoffiel's sentiments - it just seems all too hard! Tho I DID let the bastards get me down!
I've had more meltdowns in the last 2 and half weeks than in the last 12 months (and I had a couple of doozies during Rads!) Thru sheer incompetence!
Yep, @Zoffiel - I reckon I'll take you up on that nap/glass of wine/frontal lobotomy !! Yeah - they talked about putting a steel rod thru both my big toes due to Bunions forcing them into the direction of the other toes! NO THANK YOU!!

@Sister, it will come. It takes a while though and just when you think everything is starting to feel somewhat like you the old you, you find yourself howling your eyes out at something you once would not even have blinked at. Read that as watching The Equalizer 2 (action packed gun slinging movie) because one of the guys wife dies. Not cancer ,she got shot while kicking some scumbags butt. Go figure.
@Annie C. A few years back the kids were all away and hubby and I decided we'd have a shower together as it was a rare occasion back then that we had the house to ourselves.
It was late afternoon and all our clients had left for the day. After realising I hadn't brought in any towels I jumped out of the shower and did a nude run down the hallway dripping wet to grab a towel.
I had left the front door open thinking nobody would be around at that time. I get halfway down the hall (which runs full view to the front door) and there is a man standing there. It was sensis time and he was delivering the paperwork!
To top that off he was the father of one of the young girls that came to my riding school, I had spoken to him that morning at her lesson. I wished the floor could swallow me up but I kind of just froze. He smiled and said " I'll just leave the paper work on the verandah shall I????
I had to see him every time he dropped his daughter off for a lesson. AAAGGGGGGhhhhh.
