Re: Kvetching

Glad to provide a laugh! I am somewhat heartened to know others hobble too, especially in the morning! Oh those mornings when you have slept through the whole night without getting up to pee, and now it is morning and you've got to GO, but you cannot seem to hobble fast enough to the potty! Can you imagine The Potty Hobble back in the pre-indoor plumbing days? I'd never make it down the stairs to the backyard privy!!!!!

Guess we have something additional to be thankful for!

MJo, you said you are in a trial that will allow you to continue the Femara beyond the standard 5 years, but that you do not think you will continue on. I have been dreading the inevitable (God forbid!) studies that will show we derive a benefit from extended A.I. therapy! I just do not think I can toe up to that line for another 5 year stint. I know, I feel like such a baby, but really I am not sure I can make that choice. If nothing else, I feel better knowing others struggle with the notion of extended A.I. treatment. How many years do you have under your belt thus far?
