Re: how about drinking?
I picked up 8 bottles of Bogle's Petite Sirah. I've decided the few extra dollars (maybe) are worth getting wine I love. They have it QFC for 7.19 if you buy 6. I bought them out, caught the manager and asked if he could order me a case. Should last me a few weeks, LOL.

Re: how about drinking?
Welcome back, Karen. Sorry you're dealing with so many health challenges. I know your younger daughter's marriage will be a bright spot in your life.
Re: how about drinking?
Good Morning, Loungettes! Happy Hump Day! I took Mom to her ophthalmologist's appointment yesterday. No real changes going on other than expected age-related stuff. I was surprised when he made a referral to an optometrist when Mom said she wanted her glasses updated, though. Apparently this ophthalmologist doesn't fit/prescribe glasses anymore. So now Mom has yet another appointment with yet another doctor in November. Oh well, such is life as one gets older. Aging is not for the faint hearted or people who expect to enjoy lots of leisure time, I guess!
mOmmy--I'd be angry about the damage to the table, too. It's just not right.
Wally--Glad to hear the inexpensive, convenient boxed wine is drinkable.
Minus--the way too easy to pour just one more glass is a drawback for the boxed wines. Not one that's easily overcome, either!
Teka--thanks!
Wally--a taste of the very best of wines would be a lot of fun, and I can see where it could change opinions on wine. But, as you say, unless lottery winnings are involved, not gonna happen in this house.
Karen--welcome back! Congrats on the youngest daughter's engagement! The color scheme sounds really pretty. Would your DH allow some pics to be posted here after the wedding? The health issues sure do seem to be ongoing for you. I pray they resolve or at least stabilize soon. Happy Anniversary! Ah, yes, school has started again. The only reason I know is because I'ce gotten a couple of calls about open school nurse positions, That's something I would think about if the positions were closer to home. I'm sure you will know when it's the right time for you to retire.

Re: So...whats for dinner?
Carole - I either missed it or I've I forgotten - why didyour DH need a skin graft? I had a spot frozen on my ear that continues to get red and irritated because that's the side I sleep on. My derm suggested I get a pillow with an ear hole, which I did. I hate it. I'm picky about pillows anyway and this one isn't cutting it. I wish him luck.
Tonight was another sort of blue plate special - Salisbury steak with onion gravy, tiny salted potatoes and fresh green beans.
Re: So...whats for dinner?
Carole, I'm sorry your DH's ear is painful but glad that he doesn't look like Vincent van Gogh. You inspired me to buy some eggplant.
Minus, That chicken soup sounds chock full of delicious ingredients. Having dinner set for tomorrow is a bonus.
This afternoon I saw a cardiologist working his very first day. He was nice and knew his cardiology but was clueless about Medicare part D. In spite of my explanation he ordered meds from a specialty pharmacy not in my plan. I’ll have to call tomorrow and get a nurse to sort it out.
Dinner tonight was cube steak and parsnips in onion gravy with mashed potatoes.

Thanks Wren
The local elk herd enjoyed a stroll along the beach tonight.

Hello, all. I haven't tried to take my cat with me yet. My niece and I are heading up Sept. 17 and back on the 21st. My long stay won't be until the first week in October. That is when Louie and I have our adventure. My little cabin is a seasonal house. I would not attempt that mountain in snow. I will be home in Florida during anything that might be snow up there. LOL

Harley, we didn’t get a typhoid shot. We only drank bottled water.

Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
@chicagoan They usually kneel the bus down, I will have to ask the ramp be lowered and live with it. I am supportive of the drivers myself as bus drivers are getting 12 more dollars an hour which is unfair to me as well. If they go on strike, I will selfishly hope they come to a bargain quickly but if not, will need to adjust my budget.
Re: How long have you been Stage IV?
@alden722 Yes, this is pretty typical. Try Motrin.
