Best Of

seeQ~ happy birthday to your daughter.
thank you ladies for wishes.
Mara. Feel better darlin.

Addition to previous post, was stricken with loose stool after breakfast so got myself sorted enough to cancel both Paratransit and herceptin for the day. Not sure the problem that caused it but whatever. No pain or fever which is good. Took a while as when you phone in sick, triage nurse has to take notes and ask lots of questions.

Got the appointments cancelled for today, moved up to next Wednesday instead, they wanted tomorrow or friday but explained how Paratransit has to be booked 3 days in advance. The MRI results are still happening tomorrow come hell or high water. I do not honestly feel sick either so that is a bonus. Water and immodium as needed.

UPDATE I decided to get some extra stackable containers, rubber with a tight closing LID as an extra garbage container that can hold stuff til next garbage, got 3 containers and more pantry storage and one extra recycle storage, all inside the house as well, need to see about storing the walker in the closet OR outside the back door, not really caring to keep or walk that way, used to my canes. I also ordered some mini pizzas and a couple of michelina's chicken with rice.

Got the containers because I feel like I am not supposed to store stuff out back, workers need access to the container outback when they come to work on stuff. I will remove my own stuff once I have the garbage day where I can put them out and keep storage inside but in strong sealed storage. Can also organize pantry items together or put stuff in one of them. 2 of them were cheaper because the originals I wanted for two that were smaller so that is good. I will also create a neater storage area for recycling too, make it look better and remove stuff from under the sofa and store that stuff together, we will see. Only 33 dollars in total for the pizza and large containers so that is great price for sturdy rubbermaid strength but a different brand name. Amazon pricing on storage totes is horrendous.

Did wind up having one of the mini pizzas when stuff arrived, get 8 per pack, fits well in frypan and added extra cheese, heated for 12 mins on high, rest somehow fit in the freezer which is good. The pizza was really good. Did take digestive enzyme and immodium just in case.

@micmel I didn't realize our daughter's were birthdays were so close. My baby girl just turned 30 on Sunday. I'm glad you're going to see your old doc, even though it's farther away. Is there any way to complain, formally, about the palliative care doc? My docs are all over an hour away, but I am not in excruciating pain riding in a car. I can't even imagine.

@micmel Happy birthday to Gabbie, that is a lovely picture of her. I am also sending support your way to have someone deal with your pain as well.

@candy-678 I can empathize with how you are feeling. Mornings are not bad but I am exhausted most of the time as well. Have to take breaks when doing stuff or doing chores in a tiny apartment. Like you, I would like to do what regular people do in their lives. In your pocket. I also blocked Facebook from the ability to see family as I don't need to know how busy they are. Sending support your way.

I have Herceptin today. Really cold outside, actually shut my window in living room and turned extra heat from the split AC unit to warm up a bit, other option is to shut the bedroom door. I leave AC in window because I have a ton of fleecy blankets to sleep under.

Not sure about breakfast, may just get ready and order another egg mcmuffin, bad but that is all I want. Not sure what to have later. Chores will be done after I get back from treatment.

Get results of MRI tomorrow, likely stable as no one has asked to see me sooner, I take that as a good sign. Only thing to remember is to ask for ondesetron, the vomiting tells me to take a backup at least an hour before the appointment.

I hope every has a good luck, in pockets for all.

micmel - a very happy 30th to dear Gabby🥳🥳. Her pic is gorgeous. And your puppers is simply adorable. Our pets bring us such joy and comfort.

Hi all. I cannot scroll back to comment on specific posts without losing my post. But I do read about you all and will Like or Care your comments.

Mel- LOVE your dog's pic!!!! Animals are the best. I am sorry you are struggling. And that Gabby has to go thru all this too.

I am feeling down this morning. I communicated with my sister (via email). She is soooo busy. Work. Family. Church. I just get tired reading about her activities. While I have minimal energy. I do better in the mornings. By evening I am toast. I have been going to bed at 8pm, some nights at 7pm!!!!! My mind would like to do stuff, but my body says NO. And she is 1 year YOUNGER than me!!!!!

I am tired of being tired. I am tired of all this. I try to look for the good things, but I struggle to stay in a good mindset.
