Best Of

@cookie54 I think it was a limited time bug. Initially I thought I could not go but after way too many immodium which did next to nothing, it just had to be something I ate that did not agree. The big D resolved, the nausea and vomit resolved and now I am just plain starving. Did buy some applesauce, sugar free jello cups and some reduced sugar plain yogurt with vanilla taste. Will likely take a day before returning to my diet. Got some apple sauce and eggs as well.

Prebook appointments took a couple of hours, they were there by 730, I did have diaper on and alao once of my cloths wedged into my but, that stops it if it came. So far today, seems fine and will not push the envelope beyond what I bought. Got two nanners, see if I can stand to eat them. Nothing left for this week until the 30th, have MRI and CT and another appointment.

Other than that, tired but going to fix an egg and put it in a tortilla without the extra fat. Later may mixup some jello and yogurt together as both are sugar free and yogurt has nothing else in it. Think I would microwave the egg instead of frying in griddle. Other symptoms are fading and I am in process of washing up the stuff messed up from yesterday. Not sure about the nanners but I can see mixing the yogurt and jello together in the magic bullet, throw nanners in there to disguise the taste. I may turn out to like the blend and I got water flavouring which works in the magic bullet. Who knows, I might develop a taste for bananas. I will post later. I could also make plain white rice or another rice package. Beans and lentils will be put off til possibly tomorrow but keep things simpler today. The magic bullet with jello, yogurt and some banana with some mio water flavoring may make a nice taste.

I am happy today is done, two steps left, one more meeting with neurosurgeon, anesthesiologist and then surgery still on Jan 7. I have to pack my little suitcase on wheels with pants, undies and possibly sneakers because assuming all goes well, I will be walking circles in there and need shoes to wear.

I do hope everyone has a good day, in everyones pockets including my own. I really need to learn not to have a massive cow if digestive system goes haywire, just learn to put on the right stuff, create barriers to look after skin as well. I really distressed myself with messes I made which easily cleaned up with an alcohol spray. If I can be OK with brain surgery, an upset stomach should not cause so many tears that I had but I felt much better once out of the house.

So I decided to keep my regular MO appointment on Jan 5. They were going to cancel it but I said would like to see her anyway since surgery is 7th of Jan. She is not in charge of my brain stuff so it would be good to have a normal appointment even though I am aware my chart will show my surgery stuff. My Herceptin will be pushed 6 weeks away.

Amazing that I'm still here! 56 years, and yes, having cake for breakfast.

Happy Christmas to those who celebrate! 🎄

@irishlove Hello this afternoon dear sweet friend. I read the struggles that you and DH are dealing with your DD, DGD, and SIL. It stung my heart because It’s hard enough dealing with adult children when difficulties arise regarding boundary issues, but to have to deal with this specifically., Is just NOT an option for you and your husband. Your health, peace, and sense of wellbeing is what is important and I’m so glad dh set that boundary tactfully to them. Your health comes first, always when you just are not physically strong enough to deal with adult children’s lack of consideration crap., I’ve had to deal with some of that also with mine occasionally and sometimes I resent it more because of my own health problems. It’s funny how our whole lives we gave and gave to our children, and when they grow up and don’t take responsibility for their own life situation and become mor emotionally and finanancially needy, i takes it’s toll, @irishlove, and on those occasions I had to speak up and put my foot down. It results in bad feelings, and not talking sometimes but then always resolves itself. A mother always takes on the pain of their daughter and even when the daughter stops talking to you over it, a mother will carry that pain along with the pain the. Daughter is feeling. But it will resolve itself. And yes your DGD needs to be in school and not held up in her room on line all night as an 11 yr old. She’s vulnerable at that age and her mom & dad needs to deal with that, not you and DH. You’ve been there done that, so now take care of you.🩵I will light a candle for you tonight. that’s my way of being in your pocket.🥰

@mara51506 I’m thinking of you and happy you have been managing everything you are dealing with in a positive mindset as well as keeping up with your nutrition every day with your creative ways of getting enough protein. you are amazing dear girl.

@cookie54 Love to you dear Jersey.♥️

@threetree. Belated Happy Birthday wishes.

@candy-678 Yes I agree with you about the meaning of Christmas 🎄 and even though you will be alone and not celebrating with anyone as is every year for you, It is the birth of the Christ child babe as you say and i will be a nice quiet time for you to spend the day in peace and comfort, and something good to eat as well as doing something relaxing like reading or watching movies.

@micmel Thinking of you Gabby & Theo.🩵
