Best Of

Mae - 🎉🎉 for the stable scans! And an early happy anniversary🍾🥂! May you celebrate many more together❤️.

Went to the Milwaukee Symphony Christmas concert last nite with DD. Had a wonderful dinner before. The orchestra as part of outreach takes the program to communities throughout the SE. The concert was at our local Performing Arts Center 2 miles away. I love Christmas music and could listen to it for months. I especially like a Christian station out of Madison. It plays a great mixture of music you don’t normally hear, and thankfully I’m not subjected to Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas. So very, very over that diddy. Although I read that she makes $3-4 million in returns each year. And for a recommendation may I suggest one of the many Mannheim Steamroller Christmas selections. My favorite out of all recorded artists🎄🎄

Oh, we also got 8-9 inches of snow yesterday. May have a white Christmas after all.

With Mara on the mend, I’m praying we all stay as healthy as possible. My hubs just got over a nasty cold (when my ANC was .7). Don’t know how I managed to avoid catching it. Hope all bugs stay away from each and everyone one of us so we can enjoy the holiday season.

Here’s the pups photo with🎅🏻 from Sunday. I wanted to do some editing but that will have to wait for later.

@illimae Congratulations on 24 years of marriage. Enjoy your dinner! (I will forget so I'll say it now.) Also congratulations on stable scans. You should have a good Christmas.

@mara51506 Sounds like you are feeling better. In a perfect world you would get the help you need. Stay safe!

I had my last PT until the new year. I went from 2.8 ability to 3.8. (out of 10) It is self-reporting so not very scientific, but what it means is I can walk further and longer, before extra fatigue sets in, and do more. We know I will never have full motion etc., but any improvement strengthens my core also. I will change to one time a week in January for six weeks then I am on my own. That is doable. My DH wants me to start going with him to the gym…I don't know about that but we'll see in February…

@mara51506 Hi and. I’m glad you are straightened out with your washer issues. Take care of that cold, ans get some rest😉

I’m reading along and just wanting to say Hi to @cookie54 @goldensrbest @sondraf @chicagoan . Thinking of @candy-678 and also @micmel @tanya_djamila and @threetree🩵 Yikes what. a dark gloomy day here on the. Jersey Shore. DH ran to get some groceries. I’m just. lazing around with my “Barefoot Dreams” soft robe I wears like a blanket on the bed. Just watching TV. here with the Pugs and my IPad keeping up with you all. I feel really tired today but giving in to it. Love to all of you.🥰

Ended up staying home, felt very dizzy and still with the cold so called in sick to the Paratransit and the Herceptin. My MO told me to stay home until my next appointment. I fell asleep for a couple of hours in my bed too. Have not eaten yet, unsure what to have now, I guess I will figure it out. Walking around with a cane as well due to the dizziness.

Hey All, lot’s. Of goings on here to catch up on. @sondraf Oh how frustratingly your ordeal is going. I’m exhausted just relating to all of your hospital experiences with waiting and traffic and everything else.

@threetree wow coyote scare. I would be nervous about seeing them on a walk. My daughter had a scare with a red fox chasing her home and barking at her while she was walking her big mush bull dog. But there are so Manley around the Jerseyshore coast, and they live nd raise pups in the sand dunes. I’ve seen them on my walks in the early evenings. Th fox must have Ben protecting pups. I feel sorry for all the wild life who are getting crowded out as neighborhoods go in. Many people feed Th foxes which makes them comfortable around humans… I’m sorry you are still with questions and uncertainty regarding scans. I get crazy when the techs mention these little side observations..

Hello to everyone else here.. not into typing tonight….Have a restful evening ….and thinking of @micmel @candy-678 @tanya_djamila @weninwi @chicagoan @kbl @irishlove @intolight sending you all good wishes and pocket duty.🩵💕

Checking in. In Houston for scans and results are good. Brain MRI shows nothing new and the two recently treated spots are “less conspicuous”. The CT body is great too, nothing going on there. After my next CT, Bone scan and echo, we’ll move those from 3 to 6 months.

Since we’re in the big city, DH and I are going out to a nice steakhouse for an early anniversary dinner (24 years on Christmas Eve).

I’m not fully caught up but wish everyone well.

@sondraf I sure will let Carol know.

@intolight Thank you.

@shanagirl Thank you.

So you all know, I can see that Mel hasn’t been on since November 26th, and Candy since December 10th.

I’m thinking of you all. My energy level is a little off today, so I won’t respond to all, but you are in my heart.

Sondra, I love your "business plan" for holiday prep. I recently upgraded my list making to an app that I can specify the day I'm supposed to do something. When something slips, I can just change the day. It helps me mostly, because I don't forget and have 6 things to do last minute, but also I'm not overwhelmed by staring at a list of 20 things to do. It may seem like basic organization to some, but it was a leap for me. Lol

we have had two deaths in the family recently. My sister in law’s husband and my daughter in law’s mother. Both had cancer but the brother I law’s may have been a heart attack. Sometimes it seems like the world is crumbling around me.
