Ron, yes it's nice to get so much done, and none of us were expecting my blood work to be so good. I'm on Ibrance, and it usually lowers the white cell count, and platelet count. My counts were all fine.

That is a good sign. Is the ibrance working?

I take Femara (letrozol) every day, and the Ibrance for 21 days, then off a week. I've been on the Femara for 2 months, but this is my first 21 day round of Ibrance. Yes, it seems to be working, and my cancer is still not active.

It is amazing what we can live with and adapt to!

@getaclue and @penny1960, that is fantastic news from both of you.

Getaclue, never give up, never surrender!

Penny, give em heck, girl! That is my attitude also. One night at work the CNA's assigned to me were driving me out of my mind. I told them if they didn't get their act together I was going to retire, check myself in and be their worst nightmare of a resident. I'd been taking notes since the first day I'd clocked in and I would be the resident from .......Well, the nurse I was working with nodded and agreed with me. I've never seen aides scatter so fast in my life.

Of course I wasn't serious. They will have to run me down, tackle me and drag me sedated out of my mind before that would ever happen.

Not the best of days. Thought IBS was rearing it's ugly head again then decided this afternoon when I fell asleep on the sofa feeling feverish that maybe I have a virus. Never fails. Every time I go to Walmart, 24 hours later I have a GI bug. I think a higher power is trying to tell me that Wally World is an evil place and I need to stop shopping there.

I did manage to get two plexiglass covers up over windows in two of the coops today. They are calling for rain the next two days so I got laundry caught up. Didn't feel much like eating dinner tonight but I just ate a bowl of Cap'n Crunch without my innards gurgling in protest so I must be feeling a bit better.

My little pullet with something growing on her eyelid now looks as though whatever it is being reabsorbed. She flew up and landed on my shoulder this morning so I brought her in to let DH check it out. No sign of injury, no redness, no drainage for two weeks, now it's seems to be going away on its own. He shrugged and shook his head. He practiced for almost 40 years and it was a first for him. I'd given up on her, myself and was braced for the worst, now she just may beat this thing. Whatever it was!

use a ton of lidocaine take tramadol keep moving my life in a nutshell

I can't take tramadol at all, it makes the room spin and i write backwards! I asked the dr if it was ok to take at work. Ended up i had to go home. Not good for me at all.

See of all the pain killers I prefer it I have no high from it but it dulls the pain I know that if I still have dull I am alive but can go 3 or 4 day with just lidocaine no withdrawal no urges

I told my doctor that I didn't understand the big attraction to tramadol. All it did was make the pain go away for me with no side effects other than drowsiness. Now the muscle relaxers...those things kick my hiney. The Doc's PA gave me orders NEVER DRIVE WHEN YOU TAKE THEM! So far I've listened to her.
