Best Of

@norah2024 So sorry to hear of your health struggles lately. May you feel the caring and support of all the amazing women here. Sending strength and healing vibes your way❤️

@candy-678 Hey there, it’s good to see ya. Sorry you’re still having to manage GI issues, Hope you’re able to work around it to get out of the house to socialize with your church friends.

@shanagirl You’re one amazing lady like many others here! May you continue on your healing path and regain strength daily. Fall will be here before we know it and will bring in beautiful days for us to enjoy 🥰

@mara51506 Oh that egg sounds simple and delicious! Would never think about add mayo to it. I have heard mayo while making a grilled cheese is always a good secret ingredient to fry it with.. very interesting.Hope the rice cooker is a fun addition to your cooking collection. I know you will find creative ways to use it!

@tanya_djamila You popped in my head while typing, how are you and DH making out?

All ok here, just enjoying the end of summer the best I can. In all pockets for appts and sending prayers and strength to all who are struggling ❌⭕️

@shanagirl I am very sorry you have a third bout of pneumonia, no wonder your appetite is poor. I am in your pocket for it to go away. Also in your pocket for an answer to be given on what causes your pneumonia, whether you just pick it up or whether is treatment or cancer related. In pockets for your xray as well.

@candy-678 You certainly sound like you are plugging along despite the stomach issues, in your pocket on that too. In your pockets for scans coming up.

I slept alright last night. Nothing on agenda today, putting garbage out back til I can take it to the curb on Monday. I have been fussy over meals last couple days, going to dispose of anything I am not eating and the ramen, tried one yesterday and the taste was horrible. Second meal was Kraft dinner and there was way too much water. I will still make it but only 1/3 to 1/2 cup at a time. I really need to shift back to just simpler stuff I made for myself to enjoy it more. Ramen is going out with trash, I still keep out back in my bins til time to put out front.

Cats enjoyed their first meal of the day, been stretching time between eating and drinking, 45 mins to an hour. My cats don't get fed once or twice a day, it is better a few times a day and splitting time between food and water is better for Tigger.

I am not sure what I wish to have. Debating different meals, could take some lentils or chick peas, chop them with cheese later today. Right now got Harvey's on the way. Got tomatoes and cheese on burger with onions and mayo as well. Onion rings are included and some cinnamon donuts.

The burger meal with donuts and onion rings was delicious.

Meal 2 was a delicious egg. I put a spoonful of plain mayo and added a ton of cheese dry seasoning, nacho flavor. Whisked up the egg and the mayo with cheese seasoning. Put egg in my mini griddle, OMG was so delicious. I also made a couple of small hashbrowns, heated in mini griddle, they were great as well. Had a yogurt for dessert. Added cherry mio to the yogurt, it was so good.

I also allowed myself a treat of a rice cooker, have wanted one for ages so figured I might as well try it out. 50 bucks on Amazon, coming tomorrow.

Beyond that regular chores going on, did a regular broom sweep, amazing how much fur gets under the step bench between living room and kitchen. Nice I do not trip and fall anymore and put my smaller step device due to the bathroom floor being replaced and it is a couple of centimetres lower. Less of a trip hazard.

I do hope everyone has a good day, in pockets for all who need me.

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING LADIES ‼️🩵🌻

HI @goldensrbest it’s just so nice to “see” you girl!

OH @norah2024 I’m so sorry you’ve been through all of these medical issues during your treatment on Affinitor.the other lab test issues are alwyas disheartening. I my labs are mostly normal but my Calcium is sky high,and now I’ve been referred to an Edocrynologist who regularly works with my oncologist. I’m nervous about being suseptible to Pneumonia now while going back on the Verzenio next Monday. I once had a minor bout of Pneumonia back in 2011 following my knee replacement surgery, I cam down with it in the hospital, and I did physical therapy with an oxygen back pack and got thru that in a couple of weeks. I was already doing my 2mile walk on the boardwalk with DH 6 weeks after. I never experienced the horrible Pneumonia I had this time. It was so debilitating @norah2024 . The morning after I had been up coughing all night when we got back from southwest Florida, visiting great grandbabies, I was so deathly sick, passing out in the bathroom, and falling. When my DH & Son, helped me back int to bed they noticed all the blood coming out of my nose, down my nightgown,and all over my pillow and bed sheets. They called an ambulance who came immediately. They said I was flat lined and twice, and I coded when I got o the hospital again in intrusive care. They tested me for legionnaires, H1N1, covid 19, tuberculosis, streptococcus, staffococcis…..everything. But the bacterial PneumoniaI had was the result of a deadly red algae bloom in Forida that was killing all the manatees and fish & wildlife. The news in Florida was reporting that theis bacteria had gone “airborne” from the dead fish and animals, and was traveling up the west coast, where we were staying at a beach resort. I never went to the beach but stayed at the pool. Anyway the hospital pulmonologist and infectious Dr adjusted my antibiotic IV to fight this bacteria beaus it had caused sepsis in my lungs with nodules and mucous strands in my bonchial tree. I was treated with respiratory therapy also. @norah2024 & @intolight it was the worst eperiance of my life. Especially the humiliating bed pa. I was so weak I could barely get up to sit in a chair, or sit up to eat a meal tray. The most scary par of this was all the blood befor going in the ambulence. It was the Florida Red Tide that took its toll in my lungs.. they were concerned my blood wasn’t clotting.. but the bleeding in my lung had stopped by the next day. They kept me for a week and sent me home with daily repiratory therapists and and occupational & physical therapy for 3 weeks I asked them how long I would keep feeling so weak and and unable to do things. They said at least 6 weeks to 6 months or more. I am just now getting my voice back.I never realized there was such a thing as as hemorrhagic pneumonia. That Red tide can be lethal to people with immune and lung issues.. We’ve been visiting Florida for years. We would take yearly 3 wk vacations when the children were growing up, and until we watched the new in May when we were visiting the grandchildren in Ft Myers, I had never heard of Red Tide in Florida, and we always stayed on the west Coast for family vacations.

@candy-678 in your pocket while your dealing with your stomach issues and upcoming scans.

@mara51506 glad you are sleeping well and feeling pretty good. You are a miracle to me.
