Thank you all so very much! The results were benign, and I’m so relieved.

I think your friend is awesome!

Wow, you’ve just summed up where I’m at. I just started getting hot flashes and my cycles stopped 5 months ago and I’m definitely realizing that my brain isn’t doing what I want. I want to be happy, kind, sociable, organized but I’m like sprinting 180 in the opposite direction and feel like it’s not me anymore. I think I’ve always been hiding/coping with ADHD and anxiety b/c red flags were flying high in my childhood and I definitely got the message from my parents and teachers that these were things to suppress/hide. I’d gotten so, so good at it and now suddenly the screen or mask is completely gone. I hate it and want my mask back on, please.

I’m so glad your results were good! I’m sorry you had to go through that long period of waiting.

Thank you. My DH hasn’t even asked when I get results. He’s distant at best and apathetic is more accurate. We’ve had difficulties over parenting issues with one kid in particular and essentially he’s unavailable when things are difficult so I think I’m on my own to figure this out. That kinda has me stressed. I don’t really have any close friends that I’d share this with either.

Thank you. Your words helped more than you’ll ever know.

I’m a nervous wreck, but holding it together- sort of. If I find out the biopsy shows canc*r, what immediate questions do I need to ask? What should I prepare for? My DH will be out of town when I get the results in two days, so tell me what I can expect or do next? It was a multiple calcifications and I have extremely dense tissue with a positive family history so I’m at very high risk, apparently. I keep thinking that I want a double mastect*my so I’ll never have another biopsy, mammogram and hopefully never deal with this again. I think I’m getting ahead of myself but I feel ready to schedule the surgery. I must be crazy. Like I said, I’m a nervous wreck. Please give advice.

Praying

That’s seriously disturbing

Definitely you are NOT on the hook for dinner. It was simply a mistake and once you let them know (better if your DH owns up to the error) it’s all just a fleeting memory.

Thank you everyone! Do I need a prescription or something to get a hospital type bed? Will that be comfortable? Where do I buy a hospital type bed?

Can you recommend a specific brand or model of adjustable bed?

Mobility is impaired. He uses a walker and has difficulty standing up from sitting and laying down.

Can you recommend a bed for an elderly person? I need to replace his bed due to wear/age of the mattress (twin). He has an adjustable bed which he likes but I need a full size bed (needs a bit more room in the bed). I’ll need to purchase a bed frame and headboard too. Thanks for any recommendations for websites or stores and specific beds that work well for elderly folks.

You are right to listen to your instincts and consult your orthodontist or another surgeon. My dd needed a very involved surgery on her jaw and although we knew years in advance, it was very difficult to find someone who was competent. Ultimately, I found an MD and DMD who does complicated cases like my dd
