Re: So...whats for dinner?
Last night was left overs….home made spaghetti sauce on freshly cooked spaghetti.
Sharon and I haven't gone out to eat for a few months. I guess the 20-30 minute drive to town makes it faster to eat at home.
Sharon or I will cut up a couple of sweet potato (not yams) into french fry style pieces and cook them in the air fryer. This goes well with "most anything".
Wally, that's good DH and BIL got out together. "More lively and less sick" is indeed priceless.

Re: So...whats for dinner?
Last night we went to nearby Triple Nickel restaurant for hamburgers. I ordered onion rings for dh, who is a huge fan of restaurant-made onion rings, not the version off the restaurant food supply trucks. He doesn't order them when just the two of us eat out because I don't eat them. I pointed out that he could warm up the leftovers in the air fryer. The hamburgers are huge and very good at Triple Nickel. I overate and got my "hamburger fix."
Re: So...whats for dinner?
LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, lOL…DH's brother is going to be 83. I don't live near them. Nothing I do in a few days will alter his decisions. I'm grateful my DH (his brother) cares enough to let me choose healthy meals. BIL is not my circus and not my monkey. One more day…..
On a positive note, DH got out with him, did a few things, felt more "lively" and less "sick" and that was priceless. My focus is on my husband. I make my suggestions and his BIL can do what he wants.

Re: how about drinking?
Good Morning, Loungettes! Happy TGIF day! Finally, I get a day to stay home this week. Monday was Colt's day to see the vet for his annual stuff, he gets a "chill protocol" that leaves him acting drunk or high as a kite but easily distracted from having a stranger doing things to him. Tuesday took Mom to the dentist for a denture fitting. Wednesday I gave a CPR class in the afternoon. Yesterday took Mom shopping and to get new eyeglasses.
mOmmy--I cannot understand why or how people can make up stories like that about someone else just to get attention. I can imagine that both you and DH are tired of it. Good for you for not going.
Wren--good question about surgical scheduling. Another good question, why do we have to be there 3 or 4 hours before surgery time? It doesn't take anywhere near that long to get the IV and monitors and stuff done.
Miriandra--I'm with you, lets find a devil to drink with!
Wally--sounds like some nice memories of Isreal! It is funny what sticks in the mind of a child.
mOmmy--I’m with you, your mom, brother, and step-dad are all adults and should be able to figure things out for themselves.
Jazzy--the blizzard had pretty much petered out by the time it got to Maine. Some good wind and a bit of snow along the coast, nothing much at all inland. Not that I'm complaining, mind you!
Teka--I'm not fond of sour apple pie, but I do love a sweet apple pie with crust made with sharp cheddar in place of some of the butter or Crisco.
mOmmy--good for your DH. I hope he doesn't have to step in, but if he does I bet he'll do a good job!

Re: Zoom Meet-up for Those With MBC: Place to keep chatting
Hi, I assume you started Enhertu at the highest does. I did as well and lasted for 3 good scans but I was absolutely miserable. I got a does reduction to 80% and have managed well on the for the last 3 years. Fatigue and food aversion were intolerable at 100%. A dose reduction still works, please don’t suffer too long.

Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
We had a warm and lovely day here yesterday (it's bonkers when you compare the weather here to the East Coast!) and I overdid it in the yard. Multiple times standing up felt very lightheaded, then remembered, right, it's my off week from my meds, and my WBC/RBC are at their lowest. Feel yucky today, slight headache and slight nausea. And it's sunny and warm again today! Rats, cats, and bats. May just drive out to the beach and roll the windows down, for the sea scent and sound. And catch sight of some frolicking pups, love that.
Grateful for meds and tired of them, simultaneously.

Re: Faslodex Girls Thread
I like foslodex better than aromatase inhibitors. Except that they require shots. I do glute exercises before and after. I have very few side effects.
Glad you like your current onco. I am on my 7th. My last one I liked but she retired. My new one is am very impressed by. She is strictly breast cancer and keeps up to date.
Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
Hi ladies. Like some of your areas, we are in a severe drought. Bike week starts in a few days and all of a sudden weather is calling for severe storms for a couple days in a row. Poor bikers. Seems to happen every year.
@intothelight I'm not sure if MO uses those numbers to change meds or not. I just know that I had a few areas that read in the area of 1.0 to 1.9 and I was told I was NED. I think that is because those areas and numbers could be inflammation. I'm full of inflammation courtesy of MS. I know I read it on line that above 2.5 is considered active. @cookie54 No I guess there is no peace with this disease. Joy has to come from living life, not hoping numbers will be thus and so. Gotta get my head around this. No radiation for hip or femur since there is no active disease, so that's a win. Frankly I am burned out on doctors and labs and care teams texting or calling early in the morning, to just check on me. They wanna make sure I stay out of the hospital. I thought it was a lovely idea to have them as part of my team and now they are actually interfering with MD orders and Pallative orders. Time to discharge them.
Hope everyone is thawing out and watching out for the next round of weather. It was warm enough today that the birds came out to play in the birdbath. Crows were drowning their peanuts and chickadees clacking their seed against the branch of crepe myrtle. Two new unidentified birds at the bath so I have to investigate. Maybe mockingbirds. I put suet up to try and attract woodpeckers.
In pockets for all and Mara I think I missed seeing you lately?
