  • I have MUCH to catch up on after not bumping at all yesterday, but wanted to say that my best friend's mastectomy went smoothly yesterday and she was tough as nails about the whole thing. I was in the waiting room with her parents and fiance and I got to see her in recovery--again, what a tough cookie! They began the reconstruction at the same time. The surgeon said that they took 2 lymph nodes to test, but that from what she could see, the surrounding tissues looked healthy and the "edges were clean," so that's good news! Hoping she doesn't have to do any follow-up chemo. Thanks to everyone for all the thoughts and prayers and well wishes for her. I know she's so relieved that part is over...now on to the recovery stage! 

    So happy to hear this! Praying her lymph nodes are clear and she can recover quickly.

    @parsonsperson: Excellent news! Wishing your friend a speedy recovery, and continued good news!

    @MsBeachNj: Thanks for the update on your Dad. Hoping his surgery is successful to repair the hernia and remove all cancerous tissue!

    @ahernandez16: Staying with your mom is a good idea. Also pepper spray. 
  • @MsBeachNJ I'll keep your dad and you and your family in my thoughts! Praying he can get straight to recovery after his surgery 
  • Thank you for all the updates! Praying left and right for speedy recoveries!!

    Pepper spray, I'd have a 40 cal at this point. That bitch is nuts

    @ahernandez16 has anyone been to the doctor with her? How does she explain the changing due dates? Cray cray!

    Also, the hotel would be cheap, but 5 star!
  • @MsBeachNJ- thank you for updating about your dad! Praying for you all today and keep us posted on the outcome!!
  • @ahernandez16 your cousin is insane..... I... Just.... No words. She's probably going to pull the miscarried card (I hate using those words as its a very real thing many of our fellow bumpies have gone through), and try and steal your moment when baby comes. And it's sickening. Ugh I want to punch her in the titty. 

    @parsonsperson so glad to hear that the surgery went well!! Double mas is no joke!!

    @msbeachnj happy to hear that your dad might get to skip radiation. My dad went through it (he didn't get surgery as the chemo/radiation combo was the first choice as they caught his early), and said it wasn't so much painful as it was uncomfortable and made him want to sleep all day. 

    Keeping ALL of you guys in my thoughts and prayers for fast healing and no run ins with crazy cousins.

  • @parsonsperson glad to hear the surgery went well.  

    @msbeachnj hope everything goes well.  My grandpa had prostrate cancer and after surgery they put these chemo/radiation (I'm not exactly sure I was little when it happened) disks in during the surgery to get rid of the remixing cancer--he never had to go into the hospital for treatments.  


    Pregnancy hotel sounds awesome!

  • Just got back from my 31 week appt.
    They found bacteria in my pee, my midwife told me to stop taking so many tums as they can cause small kidney stones that scratch the urinary track and create a uti. Apparently you shouldn't be taking more than 4 tums a day.
    It doesn't hurt when I pee yet, but I'm still drinking cranberry juice just in case. Have you guys ever tried cranberry juice? NOT cranberry juice cocktail, cranberry juice?
    It's terrible. SO GROSS.
    Also, I'm not totally convinced that cranberry juice actually helps flush out uti bacteria, but I guess if it's good enough for my midwife it's good enough for me.

    Maybe you can just take cranberry pills and lots of water? Less yucky?
  • @WinniethePoohsPants- ugh. Sorry!! Plain cranberry juice is awful. I feel like I've read in multiple places that it's a misconception that it helps UTIs and any extra liquid to help you keep peeing is helpful. Who knows. 
  • @ahernandez16- as everyone else has said,
    HOLY CRAP at the level of BS that consistently flows from her mouth. I'd bet money she's not pregnant and something will happen so no one will meet baby and there will be a horrible non-surviving child. Ugh. Cannot. Even. Imagine. 

    *Stuck in box* But THIS ^^^^^
    @ahernandez16 I'm with PP. Don't find yourself alone with her, at anytime, ever.  Also, is your cousin effing nuts, too?  How can he subject his family to this nonsense??  What does the rest of your family say?

    *Stuck in box again* but, AND THIS^^^^

    I can't even fathom her ridiculousness it's so bad...
    @parsonsperson - your friend sounds like a rockstar, I'm happy things went well and thinking of her and for a speedy recovery!

    @MsBeachNJ - thinking of your dad, you and your family! I hope all goes well <3

    I used to get UTIs at least every other month, to the point where my PCP wanted me to take Macrobid multiple times a week.  It could totally be the placebo effect, but I found that the times I could feel one coming on, if I just doubled up on the cranberry pills it would usually go away without having to resort to the antibiotics.  You just have to get a high concentrate like 2,400 mg.  Ran it past my OB and she said it was fine for a daily supplement, too.
  • It just hit me that I only have 9 WEEKS LEFT!!! I've got to get my butt in gear and get DS's nursery ready, pack my hospital bag, pre register at the hospital, omg how did this happen?! Tell me I'm not the only one freaking out a bit..

    @ahernandez16 - Perhaps it's time to change your number? A few weeks ago (or months, who knows) when we were talking about the psychos who cut babies out of pregnant ladies and steal them I thought maybe that was a stretch for your cousin. Now it seems totally feasible, stay far away.

    @nicknshan- If you're ever in Houston again let me know! 
    I was totally thinking the same thing @ahernandez16! She's clearly obsessed with you. Be careful around her.
    Yes. This^. If i had a cousin/relative etc. like this, I wouldn't let her near me or my baby, ever.
  • Emztron500 - mine was at 11. Rant away - it sucked!!!!! Any chance you can take the afternoon to sleep and/or do absolutely nothing? I was wrecked after my test, even after I ate. I had a massive headache and needed to sleep. (not to add to the awfulness - just to prepare you for a possibly crappy day).

    That's how I felt after the one-hour one, plus I was super shaky. I can't imagine the three-hour FASTING one. I'm sorry, ladies :(

    No I'm freaking out as well!  I haven't done anything above either.  Trying to be a nice wife and not kick DH out of the office before May...but I don't think I'm going to make it.
  • @lunagrl79 Wonderful news!! Congratulations on the new job!!! I hope you're celebrating!!!!!

    @WinniethePoohsPants lemon water.lots of lemon water. Straight from my urologist's mouth to you. The acid in the lemons will help break down any stones or calcium deposits. I had 4 kidney stones with my DS2 and he told me to drink lemon water to help prevent them from forming again bc pure cran juice sucks

    Also congratulations @lunagrl79
  • @lunagirl79 Congratulations! That's awesome news :)
  • @lunagrl79 congratulations on the new job! I'm really happy for you!!

    @lunagrl79: Congratulations!!

    @WinniethePoohsPants: I had a kidney stone a couple of months ago--drink yo' juice!! Seriously though, after a UTI in college (so, a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away) I was told to drink cranberry juice by the doctor. So, Idk if there is evidence now that shows it's not as effective as once thought, or whatever, but it certainly can't hurt. Also, like @sdnybrk1 said, lemony water is good, too. Hope you're able to clear it up!
  • @lunagrl79 Woo, congrats! I work in the ABA field, as well...lots of challenging, but very rewarding days are in your future! :)
