As for members here in Tx, yeah there are a bunch of them, but none close to me. I can't travel cause I have no funds for that during the month, living on my disability check doesn't allow for much more than rent, bills, some groceries. Never allows for me to have anything different. Even when I go to visit my dad and grandma and my cousins, my dad helps me with gas money to and from. I'm doing all I can to keep my costs at home on the minimum and doing without things that aren't basic necessity.
I wish I was still working, but my back, ptsd and anxiety, depression won't allow for it. I can't handle being around people larger than just a couple or maybe 4 tops. I"m okay with family because I know them all my life so they don't make me nervous or anything. Sometimes even they are too much for me to be around.
Anyway, I've gotten a couple of numbers from friends online that I"ve called and talk to them about all I am about to embark upon. So I do have a reach out and touch someone plan when I need it. And they are good folks too.

Thanks again Tommi, for posting and helping me to remain into today.

Thanks Jeano, I appreciate ya buddy. I am going in for that biopsy this afternoon, have to be there at 150pm central time. I may not know the answer to the results of the biopsy for up to 2 wks if they send it out for second opinion , and that's the part that will drive me nutty. The waiting part, the fear of the unknown. But I'm going to take it one moment at a time during the day I live in one day at a time. And pray that it comes back to mean nothing to worry about.
We'll see. I may not feel like going online tomorrow, I don't know how much pain my boob will be in after the local wears off. I might feel like that needle is still in there probing around LOL. I'll keep posting to stay in touch though it may be a day later. Thank you all for your support and love.

I had my biopsy done, man does my breast hurt. OUCH! Ok so now the waiting game begins and this is the part that can make you go mad crazy if you think think think about it too much. OK I"m gonna stay in the moment of one day at a time and this will keep me sane. He took 3 samples for biopsy today and I felt every bit of the snipping even though he deadened the breast as much as possible with a local there. Still kinda feels like that needle is still in there but I"m sure it will be better tomorrow and expecting bruising too from what he said.
I'm using ice packs on it for the next couple hours to help prevent blood clot at biopsy site and to help minimize the bruising.

On top of that stuff going on, my lower back is killing me today so that is taking away from me focusing on my breast hurting or thinking about what's he gonna say now?! I"m ok, I"ll be ok. I"m good to go and ready for anything that may come. At least I at this very moment I am. He's going to call me when he has the results of the test to discuss it with me. Whew, glad the biopsy is over with.
I hope that every that is a caregiver or cancer patient is doing better today, stay strong, stay into today, keep your head high and know you aren't alone.

Hey Justy, Glad that is over with , I am sure. Ice helps, so does getting some solid sleep after this ordeal.
While waiting you could play some brain games,

Do these everyday, or some kind of challenge.

challenge yourself, and see when your moods, your sleep, your pain, and everything else contribute to your braininess.

I love Lumosity. I got a years subscription as a Christmas present, and it is awesome to see how it works. I think they have free games too.

Yeah I"ve seen that advertised. I have trouble focusing let alone reading. I wonder if that would help me to be able to focus better. hmm, I'll have to check it out. I get bored easily too, so maybe these won't be boring to me to play. I play in the arcade here and yahoo games too at times when I am bored. I also record movies on my tv so I can watch them later when I am bored. LOL As you can see, I have tons of time on my hands, I"m disabled and no longer work, and there are no places to volunteer here nearby. It gets old really quickly everyday, thanks Tommi. I will check into it. maybe they will have some free games i can afford to play. Thanks again.
