My screen name is a pet name I have for one of my cats! His real name was already taken so I had to come up with an alternative!
I am in the beginning of the wait...my next ultrasound is not until 4/21. Very unnerving process to say the least! What stage are you at in this oh so fun process?
My cat's real name is George...not sure how it morphed so much!
I'm so glad it worked out so well for you. I have never had a cyst of any kind before so I'm also hoping for the best even though mine is a complex cyst which I know is different from simple cysts which usually resolve themselves.
Must be very cold where you are! I live in LA...very different weather pattern!
Thanks for the kind words & support! It's so great to be in contact with others who have experienced this. No one I have spoken to here about this has had ovarian cysts. I guess the idea of ovarian cancer is so frightening that even the smallest chance of having it is horrendous! So great to find so much encouragement!
What do you do in Minnesota?
Oh so glad there is a cyber party tonight. I was feeling a little blue. (no ovaries, maybe). Thought that this morning I would be "back to normal" and then spent two hours on the couch sleeping. I have no story behind my screen name, obviously.
I am sorry to hear you are feeling blue. I was on the verge of tears all of last week...because of my ovary! I hope you will feel back to your usual self soon!
Well, your screen name is not nearly as "exciting" as I had imagined...I thought that maybe you volunteer as an animal rehabilitator or that you are a wiccan. Me and my imagination!
Thanks snorch! Just a rough week I guess. Thank God for my family, great friends and this forum!!!
Hey women! I am so busy posting I almost forgot to stop by the party.
Are we talking about pets? I have two wonderful Golden Retreivers. Two girls and they are sisters, one is 10 and the other is 9. They are the best. Technically, our daughter is the official owner of Maya, the oldest one. And, then my husband wanted to be the official owner of Maddie, the 9 year old. Of course, as you can imagine...Mom here did all the work!...but had no official ownership, so to speak.
Then, while I was recovering from my surgery for ovarian cancer in Sept/Oct. of 2000, I swear those dogs did not leave my side. The older one always put her head on my ankles as she laid perpendicular to me on the bed and the other one, Maddie, just snuggled by my side sometimes with her head on my pillow. Unbelievable.
My husband and I give each other gifts on New years (it's the day we met) and that year he gave me Maddie...officially. He said he had never seen such bonding animal to human. We all take naps together...same arrangement with Maya at my ankles and Maddie on my pillow. Thanks for indulging me...I love my dogs. Mary
Your dogs sound wonderful! I mean...your husband's and daughter's dogs!!
Hi again, glad you appreciated the dog story. Well, Maddie is mine now since my husband handed her certificate...hmmm,is it title? well, anyway, on New Years Eve of 01 he handed this piece of paper to me and said, "Here, you need to be her owner..the way she never left your side while you were recovering was unreal." However, when I looked at the paper, I thought...oh my...are we getting a THIRD DOG??? Don't get me wrong...two dogs are great, but I could just imagine me walking three big dogs at once..grooming three, playing with three... you get the picture. Then I realized he was giving me Maddie...Sweet.
My screen name is terribly normal. I was born in 53. Nice party!
Hi Girls - wasn't sure if I would feel up to joining tonight, but I'm so darn happy that everything turned out so well - I just had to say hi.
My screen name is kind of corny. My last name is Sinnamon (hence Spice Girl). I grew up with family nickname of Peppermint Patty - so I went from peppermint to Spice. My father who is 68 still calls me peppermint. (I'm the family favourite can you tell!.
No pets here - we had a cat for 14 years that just died a few months ago - my teenage daughter wants a new one, but we just aren't home enough to look after another pet. And I hate to be selfish - but I enjoy the freedom of not having one. Sort of like kids leaving the nest.
Hello everyone,
I just noticed the cyber party has started. Well, my screen name is a combination of the first 3 letters of my mom and my brother's name. I lost my father while studying in the US 7 years ago and my mom and brother were all i had left so I use this screen name for many purposes now. Of course, I now have a wonderful husband in my life for 4 years. I did not do much today. Hubby had gotten me an appt for a hair makeover so I enjoyed that. Came back home and took a nap. The weather has been so nice here ( I live in San Diego if I never mentioned that before), so we may take a short walk before sunset. Life is slowly getting back to normal. I go back to work on Monday. I am not too worried about it, since I already did some work from home on Friday so there is not a big pile of reports to do. Anyways, not much else to report on my day. I guess my life right now is quite boring. Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I wonder how Rainbow is doing? I know she had herv surgery on Friday.
Love,
Alba
Congratulations on the actual ownership of your dog! Very sweet husband!
I have three cats...all were strays that knew a softie when they saw one! They are great pets despite the constant hairball situations!
What did you do exactly in avionics?
Wow! Sounds very exciting! I can understand the pride you have in your name, and proud you should be! Thanks for sharing!
Thought I would stop in for a minute. My screen name is just a spelling variation of my middle name. I have two dogs and a cat I love my cat to pieces. He only left my side to eat and go to the litter box when I was sick. I am being "medically treated" for right side cyst but will probably will just get the little monster removed in may whem school is out. I am a special ed teacher asst.and sure enjoy these parties to wind down. The weather here is more Arizona like this week. Erika
Congrats on the new Wrangler - isn't it fun getting a new vehicle. I just got a new Rendezvous (wasn't quite ready to give up the van so went for a crossover) - I got the red - we always used to go black or navy - go figure.
I got it a week ago and can't wait to get back behind the wheel. I have a bit of a heavy foot so have to be careful - my DH is an Ontario Provincial Police Officer so I really have to watch it. Spice
Congrats on the new car! Very exciting! I am so in need of a new car but not sure where we're going to be living in the fall so I am holding out for more info!
Enjoy your new ride...
HEY...THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A PARTY...REMEMBER THESE STARTED LIKE THE OLD SLUMBER PARTY!!!
Where is the "boy talk".....who is getting their hair done....who needs nails or toe nails painted???
C'mon.....who has the cheese balls, and wine, or my favorite, Chevas?
Geeze...you guys still drink that sweet stuff? Oh man...remember the first beer you had back in college? Let's go ladies....Let That Hair Down....LET'S PARTY!!!
We will seek Peace in the morning......

Hi all! My husband has always been called "fox", and I kinda liked it, so I took on the feminine name as my screen name with the day of my birth. BTW my real name is Beverley! I have 2 english springer spaniels - a mother and son. We bred puppies last year (7 gorgeous pups born 30 May) and kept one. He's the dopey, boisterous, clumsy one!!!
I've just got back from the nursing home fete where I won two bottles of wine - a Richmond Grove Cabernet Shiraz and a Chardonnay - please pass your glass and tell me your favour? I have also cut up some fresh, crisp watermelon (WE GREW IT!!!), which will go very nicely with a glass of wine! Cheers!
I am back from my first official outing since surgery - nice to get out and have dinner. Oh speaking of hair done I did have my hair cut two days after surgery. I thought it was a big change but no one in my house full of men noticed it. I gave my dh plenty of grief about that tonight. I am stuffed with pizza and wine so I will just graze the cyber munchies!
Hmmm... In those days I woulda had some of both so here are 2 glasses. LOL
