Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
Safe travels, Cindy. Hard to believe time has passed and you're off to FL again. One year we had departed from home on our way to MN and realized we hadn't emptied the ice drawer in the refrigerator, which was otherwise empty and turned off. I contacted my sister and asked her to empty it.
Betrayal, you are so disciplined in your packing and unpacking.
Chris, what is your mode of transportation when you can't ride your bike?
We have some cold weather on the way. I'm looking forward to turning on our fireplace at night for a night or two.
Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
Medical transportation is taken care of, cab, and friends. I am hoping to be able to walk to church (.8 mile) regularly. I have some snow-pants. And electric hand-warmers. If I keep my hands in my pockets, it might work. Otherwise, take the splints off and wear my leather mittens.

A woman who comes to senior exercise is legally blind, with macular degeneration. She relies on the senior transport service provided by the parish/county. I'm impressed with how promptly the van arrives when the class is over. She's an attractive, friendly woman. I admire her for getting out despite her disability.
I see the vans often at different locations.
I will walk in the neighborhood this morning and then attend chair yoga this afternoon. The wonderful weather we've been having makes it pleasant to get out and walk.
Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
We left NY home about 12:30. We took our time and I only wanted to kill SO once, so it was an improvement. HA! He waited until we were ready to go out the door to ask me if he needed xyz to apply for his SS. I don’t know what he needs, but at the last minute you ask me this? UGH. Fortunately he found what he wanted fast.
Once on the road we realized we left garbage in the kitchen bin. My niece will grab it before hee next pick up, which is next Wednesday. We also left a hair trimming bag - good scissors, combs, and Wahl trimmer. I’ll grab new scissors at Sally’s once we get settled in FL.
My niece got into her gastro on Tuesday with a PA. She is getting scheduled for a MRCP, looking for stones or sludge in a duct. If they find a block she was told they do an endoscopy to clear it. She was happy it’s the same thing my gastro stepson said. I’ve let her know if anything happens I can fly back up.
I didn’t take notes but I did read everything.
The pool being removed, although necessary, feels like and end to an era - and it’s not my pool.
Chris, I hope you can avoid surgery too.
Betrayal, I think you’re an energizer bunny.
Carol, glad the covid shot didn’t bother you.
Sandy, I’m hoping Bob is feeling ok from his fall, and his glasses could get replaced. Sometimes you hurt worse after a day or two.
I know there were more posts but I’m pulling a blank. Tomorrow we’re headed to Fredericksburg, VA. Now to shower and chill out. Hope you all had a good day!
Re: Low WBC
Maitake mushroom extract can help with WBC count, also other natural supplements. Maitake seemed to help my mother (LC) while on paclitaxel and Nerlynx, to get the counts really high. Should be safe even with therapies.
Re: So...whats for dinner?
Going to see if I can actually grill (steak or cedar-planked salmon or char) tonight; if not, will probably go out for steak. I've been too exhausted to eat enough good "real" protein (as opposed to shakes/bars/fake pop-tarts) and enough calories. Picking up some sustainably-domestically-farmed king salmon from Hooked on Fish tomorrow. Nice to have a fully-usable kitchen and gas (not charcoal) grill again.
