Re: Stage IV MBC Fitness
@tougholdcrow - I think @AJ has an Advantage Plan, and that it offers the Y option. Traditional Medicare doesn't have some of those type of options.
I just continue to do my hour a day walking around the neighborhood. I go new directions and into new areas at times, and am really enjoying this better weather.

Rebuilding in a flood zone— not just a coastal issue. I was raised on the Mississippi River. Time after time.

@betrayal At 5'2" I am right with you. I always wanted to be taller. I can barely reach the second shelving in my kitchen which is a bummer… I moved from San Diego 3 1/2 years ago. We lived in Pacific Beach right off Sail Bay. I sure do miss the water and the beach, but not the tourists. San Diego is big, so you may be going nowhere near where we lived, but I would be willing to give you any information I may have if you need it. San Diego is one of my favorite places!
Re: Stage IV MBC Fitness
Wow, @mara51506 You are going strong. That's a great idea to use the Medicare benefits for the Y, @AJ . Didn't know we could do that. I'm just back from a trip and got tons of steps just walking around airports.
Re: Heart health
just because it's abnormal doesn't mean there are major issues so whether you need to be followed by a cardiologist may or may not be true. There are degrees of abnormal. 15 years ago I found out I had a hole in my heart. Later during COVID my primary care physician send me to get some tests and had them reviewed by a cardiologist (because she wanted to know if it was worth closing the hole) the answer was no (I however never had an appointment with the cardiologist ). However because there is a known issue I think I will eventually end up with one. I would definitely talk to your doctor, you could even talk to a primary care doctor if you have a more comfortable relationship with them since all you medical team can get access to that information especially if you have any other things that can impact your heart health (high blood pressure or cholesterol issues for example). But just because it's abnormal doesn't mean you have to followed by cardiologist but by all means discuss it with someone so you have your own knowledge on the issue

Wonderful news about the appointment for tomorrow. In your pocket with fingers crossed.

Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Well, as per last post, it was a fairly early bedtime, I could tell it was time to go to bed because I kept starting to doze on the couch, got myself off before I fell deeply asleep. I did wake up 3 or 4 times to pee but with all the water and the saline at tend of Herceptin, really not surprising. I was able to go to sleep after with almost the same dream. Put everyone in the world and every building in force fields that were able to give them food or IV nutrition. No one could be shot, buildings shielded and territory belonging to a people or country taken back by the shielding. Weird dreams for sure, I bet it is from all the news of the world. The force fields also cure mental and physical disease too. If only.
I am feeling pretty good today, got a laundry going currently, probably do more laundry later. I am also thinking of taking the walker out for a short spin to try out the walk a bit, sit a bit routine. If I do that will drink up a lot of water. I will see, would be nice to go to the nearby grocery stores if I only need one thing. Also nice to get extra activity before the winter. Planning some short treadmill walks as well, vacuum and likely a good mop.
I am at a loss for food at this point and type of food to be made, I can see myself using the instant pot and adding some rice or pasta, throwing in beans and seasonings. Decided to make a couple of eggs with a runny yolk and use them in tortilla
I hope all have a good day, in pockets for everyone and my own as I may take a walk with the walker and just practice sitting down as needed. If not that then treadmill with some tunes is good. Satisfied at this point with two to three days of treadmill use along with fast walking and swinging arms like a nordic track workout except walking on the spot.
Re: STEAM ROOM FOR ANGER
Already seeing pink everywhere. People do not need to be reminded of cancer all time every year and makes me hate October now.
