Best Of

@chicagoan Great job on the steps.

@shanagirl I am really sorry about the stomach issues among others that you are suffering through. In pockets for a recovery as I do know how miserable they can be.

I've mostly been following the Anne Guthrie likely kidnapping and some politics, mostly related to both the Gordie Howe Bridge between Canada and Michigan that we paid for to provide extra lanes of traffic for businesses. Hopefully it opens without any issue. Canada collecting tolls to pay it off first then plans to split the tolls 50/50. We will see what happens with that.

@threetree I am sorry the Xeloda causing such fatigue and weakness. Hopefully you adjust over more time but is a lot to deal with.

@cookie54 Yes we are warming up starting mid week, we will be just above freezing so could get some melting snow here too. I got a phone call this morning for another CT scan that I have had multiple times, not interested in taking a cab over and do not want to go to the other hospital. Cannot do Paratransit as not enough time ahead to book it. Will do appointments scheduled next week for Herceptin and the heart echo and get them to print up a new schedule, everything has been messed up sonce about November with CT scans, MRIs, surgery and such, I basically took a month off to recuperate with the necrosis news. No side effects at this point. I will let my MO and RO make the CT and MRI appointments but want them at my hospital. If something comes up with the brain again then obviously would go there and decide on having surgery again.

Having pasta and cheese with some seasoning from one of my hamburger helper meals, added some garlic, used up my mayochup, had to add bit of water to pour it out since was almost empty. Will wait a bit with heat off of the burner, go back and take lid off to check, may have to add something else like a mini pot pie to make it more substantial, I will see. The pie would only add to the taste vs make it taste bad.

EDIT did not measure the pasta and the water it was put in to cook so it turned out very liquid even after noodles done up. I did put lentils and cheese in to melt with sour cream to fill in for milk. I did do the mayochup and seasonings above. Extra hard tacos broken up in and a squirt of queso crema and sour cream and lime crema. It was good but realize that I could have just put aside the extra sauce from the dish instead of putting down the drain, it would have made a good dip for something else. I also want to have some sort of potato from one of the cans I have, can drain

Other than that regular chores, bed made, cats will be sad they will lose their place to be, laundry as usual. Three cycles today, regular wash with oxi clean, lysol wash next to remove any germs since was a messy wash and the final vinegar and water with a bit of softener for the scent and then put them in the dryer. Dishes floor and that is about it.

I hope all have a good day, in pockets for all.

@irishlove - I'm with @cookie54 re your plants. Hoping all turns out well a little down the road. I could never manage and keep track of all those "plant things" and I sure admire those who do! I'm also really pulling for your rib pain to be "just" a strained muscle. I would think that after all you've been doing for the plants and animals, a pulled muscle could be highly likely.

I continue to try and get used to this new line of treatment with the Xeloda. Real mixed feelings about it, and not sure if it is working/will work, but have to give it some time. It causes terrible fatigue and feelings of weakness. I see the oncologist tomorrow for the first follow-up re this drug so I'll just have to see what he has to say. It's been about 3.5 weeks so far.
