I'm so Charlie Brown

So last Thursday I went to get my slew of medical test - bone scan, CAT scan, blood work and mammogram

This waiting shit is crap, dude.

*hugs and sandcastles*

[karmachica]

That icon is both really creepy and very comforting. :)

Never sandcastles - never ever.

[seattle_liz]

Maybe I'll KNIT you a freakin' sandcastle - I bet you'd take it then!

Lookit - to build boob karma, if you're into that sort of thing:

If you knit me a sandcastle - a real knitted sandcastle, not just a pile of yarn that has been tangled by your cat. Then yes, yes I will take it.

I heard (pronounced here-ed) about that. There's also http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall05/PATTbits.html

Get to working on the castle.

I'm at a loss for words. I, too, am positive it is nothing, but that you even have to go through this kind of shit again... it pisses me off. I hate cancer. I hate the fear of it, the treatment, the stats, all of it. But this will be nothing.

[karmachica]

Hey! I didn't know if you were still around LJ - I sort of fell off the earth myself.

Thanks - it probably IS nothing. But I'm on the little emotional roller coaster for a while it seems.

Man! This is why treatment is not enought - they need to be finding the cause and start working on prevention. Cause it's hard even when they save your life.

Thanks for your words.

[cappy]

I'm still around & you defriended me awhile back~~ which I did NOT take offense at especially after I realized you had somehow gotten transferred off the Cop Friendly filter~~ & since all my entries are filtered... you probably thought I'd left LJ. When the reality was I was still here, still posting away, just clueless I'd done something that had prevented at least half my flist from seeing what I had written. I fixed it & now you & the Other Accidentally Excluded people are welcome to be as bored with my life as I currently am.

And you are exactly right. Treatment is NOT enough. It's damage control & damage control is never good enough. You don't have to do damage control if you stop it in the first damn place. It is time for a CURE. Period.

[karmachica]

hehehe - I wondered as I was reponding if I had defriended you. It wasn't at all personal - we were just sort of out of touch. See I don't like those funky filter - one of those things that is supposed to make life easier, but really just complicates the heck out of things. I'm still getting back in the swing of checking in on lj - and still feeling like I'm not catching up (maybe I need to drop more communities or something). So if you've got me on your friends list - then I'd like to stop into your journal now and then but not have you in the mix of my friends page yet - if that makes sense. I "never" really post friends/filters anymore - so please feel free to check up on me as well.

THANKS!!!

[icecat]

Man I hope it's nothing!

[karmachica]

Thanks - it probably will be. But it feels like a jinx to assume either way at present. :)

Bloomin heck ki..

[miss_jen]

Trevor here,
Thought you might need a cheer up so put on this piccy, 'so porno-miss jen', heck i hope its ok.

Getting back to YOU...well done for sticking it out, a tear is ok, its natural.
Well done for being brave and for lj'ing it, took guts and girl power.

We wish you all the best positive thoughts,
Mucho love, Gill and Trevor xx

Re: Bloomin heck ki..

[karmachica]

Ha! Jen has the best icons. I always used this one back to her when she'd bust out a banana on me. (Mine's a butternut squash). :P

Thanks - very much appreciated!!

P.S. I don't know what kind of influence you have - but you fix it where I could get accidental BBC America on my cable box without paying for it again. I'm really missing it. Thanks in advance.

er missus..explain yourself..

[miss_jen]

Ho HO bloomin ho..classic. i am impressed and jealous!!
picture tennis..
Regarding.BBC America...i have no idea what it is, the BBC has a brill web site, just type in BBC i reckon. Other than that no idea..have you tried Badasstonaut or crunchcandy..they are techno babes and i reckon would get the info.

Am impressed with the comments of support in th lj for YOU, as badass (and a few others added) lj is a little like the box of letters we all used to keep as treasures).
Our positives are for you,
Love, trevor x

Re: er missus..explain yourself..

[karmachica]

Oh it's our BBC cable TV channel. I used to have the full package and got it - but then I decided to only get the basic. But luckily BBC America was still coming through - and it was one of my favorites. So I got addicted to your programs. But now someone fixed the glitch that caused it to be broadcast to even basic option subsribers - so I'm having a bit of withdraw.

There is a good selection of british TV and films on netflix though - so that is of some comfort. :)

[lu_shines]

I'm sending all the good thoughts, vibes, energy, prayers that I can muster your way.

[karmachica]

Gracias. Don't use them all up - just in case it's a false alarm. :P

And take care of YOU! I'm really happy that you're getting to fulfill your dream of motherhood.
