Best Of

@irishlove , I am so sorry for you feeling lonely. It is a hard thing to deal with, of course you can talk to us about it, we all feel. I am also sorry about your sister calling you a drama addict. That makes me feel angry for you. You deal with constant pain from the MS and cancer effects, have cancer drugs and many other things. She should try to live a day in your body before dismissing you. I hope this group and any live action group or others in your life are able to listen with dismissing and just hear you.

I have my CT scan this afternoon which is fine, just have to finish a meal round 1030 am or 11am latest.

Got laundry on the go, flipped my couch cushion, feels so good after a good flip. Beyond that, not too sure what I want to eat. Easiest way to go would be some KD noodles, beans and an egg. I did not care for the egg I add to boiling water to heat up so thinking I will chop a microwaved egg and cheese and heat a pan with some precooked KD noodles, not the whole box, just part. Option two is to boil up the ramen, still add eggs and cheese and fry up everything. Need to decide soon though. Add some chipotle beans, I just realized which is dumb, I have chipotle may that could be combined with a bowl of beans. Need to add sour cream as it is not mild chipotle. The barbecue beans are not super appealing so may just take whatever I want and turn them into a chipotle bean.

Got some laundry and the dryer going, washer that had the stank smell was wiped down on the inside and lint filters emptied, realized they could be washed out in the smallest washers as it is gentle just to keep them cleaner. I would put them in a mesh bag to protect them. Dryer is going as well. Love the laundry.

Recycle put out is today, got a couple of boxes that need to go from stuff I ordered this week like the cat food etc. That is no problem to get rid of, got a couple of garbage bags to triple bag and add to my bin out back.

Meal has changed, a meat pie, regular size, heat up 6 mins. Will just add some beans to the mix, got my carb, protein and fat from any toppings added. Looking at some caesar, garlic mayo and have the chipotle from the beans. I only a tiny bit if blending different flavours that are liquid.

I hope all have a good day and in pockets for all as well.

Just wondering if some sessions with a therapist might help? I have a Zoom session every other week (could have it more frequently, but this seems to work for now). It is just "talk therapy", no medication prescribed, as she is a licensed social worker and therapist, not a doctor. Took a while to find the right "fit" , but it was worth the effort. I can vent to her and say things that I would not say to anyone else at this point and I find it helpful to get things out in the open. I am on traditional Medicare and the sessions are fully covered.

Hi and good morning to all, it’s been awhile and catching up on your posts. Hugs to everyone this morning as I get ready for work. All is well in its own way, Sun is shining and the breeze is cool. Family life and friendships are complicated and the living with constant change in MBC life adds to the load, but so lovely there is this forum for connection and affirmation. Squeezing into pocket duty for everyone as well. ❤️

@irishlove So disappointed to hear about your family. You have gone above and beyond for your children and now in your time of need, they let you down. I think other people have no clue about the pain that we endure, especially you with MS on top of the cancer. I hope that the epidural will really help. In the meantime, you can distract yourself your Phillies and Eagles!
