Best Of

Wow, I slept many hours last night, was heavily asleep from 5pm yesterday til 1 am. Got myself to bed and fell heavily asleep in bed for an extra 7 hours. I must have just needed the sleep last night after the insomnia day before. My throat is pretty dry fealing and sort of sore. Herceptin giving me a stuffy nose but not too bad. If need be, will take some expectorant and then medicine overnight to supress coughing.

Not sure about anything to do today. It is is trash to take garbage over tonight, need to check if just recycle stuff or actual trash to get out. Will take case of both. Other thing I want to make sure is done is to move the big boxes in front of closet near the door, take up less space.

Decided to get an inexpensive wig from amazon, round 30 bucks since it will gove the option to play with the style of it, also got some creamy blush, BB cream, concealer and lipstick. Not too bad a cost, better than sephora.

I hope everyone has a good day and in pockets for everyone as well.

Thank you so much for the kind words and information. You are much better at explaining than my MO - who still has not responded to my messages!

I have been experiencing double vision for a year and have seen the opthamologist, an ENT, and now have had two brain MRIs and several skull CTs. No discernable cause, no recommended treatment. After reading your post, I have looked for a neuro opthamologist, and the soonest appointment I can get is May, 2026!

Hope everyone has a day of smooth sailing and good test results.

SHANAGIRL,

Thank-you for thinking of me. I hope radiation treatments for you are as easy as they were for me both times. So sorry for yours and everyone here who's had progression. I only check in occasionally and then occasional trouble signing in. I find it difficult to chime in. Constant interruptions.

An update on me.

2025 A Year to remember?

It was April ? while finishing chemo I got shingles. Took a month to dx cause there was 1 blemish. Lasted at least 4 months. Chemo was almost easier. Then I strained my back a bit. Ouch. Good for a bit. Then fell and twisted knee 8 weeks ago. Not better at all. Then a long car ride triggered a major case of sciatica. Still not good. Seeing pain mgmt dr in the morning. And arthritis worse then ever. I whimper with self pity in bed at night.

Had scans yesterday. Bone scan was clean!. Don't expect anything on CT. I finished Keytruda 3 weeks ago. That was for the TNBC .MO declared me cured of that after mastectomy in June.

The metastatic cancer is being treated with anastrozole for the last 7 months when I got a new temporary MO. He's gone and I meet his replacement next Monday when we discuss my scans.

Prayers for all of you.

@mara51506 Well I'm glad you had a nice long chat with SIL and sorry to hear about her mom. No matter how old our mom's are as we know it's difficult to think about their mortality. I'm sure she appreciates your caring nature and hopefully she will feel better once there is a plan for her mom. Happy to hear you got in touch with neuro office and now have a reason as to what's going on with this delay. You're being so patient and we all know some days it's not that easy! I hope he is speedy with his on call patients and you hear from them quicker than you expect.

@shanagirl You're a sweetie pie and I can smell that tea from here! @mkestrel and smell those biscotti baking! Yum they're one of my favorites also!

Have a peaceful evening , hugs to all.

Well, feeling good finally, meals helped, still need to get ready to go, will wear my boots for the tread, our sidewalk is dry and not too worried about the Paratransit.

Other piece of good news, I had a 45.00 bill arrive for an ambulance ride back in Sept which should not be charged to a person receiving disability. I did send a couple of emails with pictures of the bill and pictures of my disability statement and apparently they got them. I was concerned as another bill came saying I had 10 days before being sent to collections. I emailed the pictures again and called this morning and it is all cleared up thankfully, happy about that.

I am also looking at those Amazon wig, one that is blond with dark roots, 30 bucks. Reason for that is I have hairstyling products that I want to try out when styling and would have to was the wig in between times. My main wigs are still new looking because most I do is a water swish and hang up. Clean cap with spray of alcohol and they are too expensive to replace all the time.
