Best Of

@threetree I am sorry about your electrolyte imbalance, I am glad you are getting a break from your drug for a while.

My post from yesterday got lost, not too much to say. Went to bed late, watched videos on facebook until later. Woke a 1pm today. Still slept pretty well, no complaints there. Played games for money yesterday, don't make too much but that is fine, some of the games are fun and give a budget boost. I did talk to DB, it is nice talking to him and SIL, told him just checking in on him. I think he appreciated that. He is frustrated no consult appointment set up yet with neurosurgeon. I told him I called both my RO office who referred me and the neurosurgeon office as well, all I can do. No symptoms at this point.

Laundry on the agenda as usual, floors etc, that is about it. Waiting for my air fryer, hoping it shows up for supper. At this point, I am making a frozen penne with chicken, will be adding a veggie stir fry as well, put them together, can use as sides or a complete meal. They are very good. Still craving the burritos I bought but want to eat up other stuff first. Not sure the air fryer will be here in time for dinner, will heat up hashbrowns in the oven if needed. I am presently having a mixed dish of penne pasta with veggie stir fry and 1 tsp of soaked chia seeds. They are very filling so went with a small amount. Adding taco seasoning, white cheddar seasoning and adding small amount of garlic parm mayo to bind a bit. Will see how it tastes, I enjoy it, that is for sure.

Hope days are going well for people and in pockets for anyone who needs me.

@eleanora - Thank you so very much. Seems like I've had a lot of problems with electrolyte imbalances and now a "possible" uti (test was negative, but I have some vague symptoms). No one has really been able to put their finger on this. I've been talking to my oncologist, been to the ER, been to urgent care, and also am working with my PCP, but no real definitive answers at this point. I'm seeing the oncologist again this coming Tuesday. Just lots of low energy, brain fog, aches and pains all over. Getting some of the electrolyte imbalances corrected seems to be helping some, but now I'm taking an antibiotic (macrobid/nitrofur….sp?) for a possible uti and that too seems to be making me feel a little bit better after a day or two, but it also seems to have mounting side effects that aren't pleasant. I don't know this particular antibiotic but seem to remember it being given to me many, many years ago, and I stopped taking it midway, due to side effects. We shall see. I didn't have a chance to discuss this with the PCP, as he just phoned it in to the pharmacy and I got a message later. Since I hadn't had it in so long, I decided to give it another run. Fingers crossed that this will do the job! I'm also getting a break now from the Zometa infusions, and I recently read that those can cause electrolyte imbalances and uti's as side effects, so gotta wonder … Hope things have been going reasonably well for everyone here and that this week-end is a pleasant respite for all. I miss my routine activity here.
