Mara- So sorry to read about your news. It is good you are getting the Social Worker involved. And I am glad you and family are speaking now and pray things with them going forward will be a help to you.

seeQ~ happy birthday to your daughter.
thank you ladies for wishes.
Mara. Feel better darlin.

@cookie54 Thank you, I do feel better today which is good. Not too concerned re the results as my feeling is I would have been told soon after if there was progression or change in blood pool that required treatment. I will find out soon enough and allowing the possibility of anything at this point.

I was thinking about DB and SIL quite a bit yesterday and feeling irritable and a bit sad, been almost a month since she let me have it about not doing what they say. I have not called or texted her since, did wish DB a Happy Thanksgiving for about a minute and have not heard from them since. Guess I should let it all go at this point, either they call or not and consider myself on my own. I have been reminding myself that they are under no obligation to want to help me and that I just need to let it go. I am sure I could still call for help if in real trouble or want to access my trust fund they would do it. Oh well.

Pretty cloudy, noticed we have a night which dips below freezing, my goodness, better order more ice salting stuff so I can safely put out garbage or get picked up by Paratransit.

Need to request ondansetron and start taking it when I have appointments with the contrast injection such as MRI and CT scans, just to avoid the whole nausea thing. I have some anti nausea meds but they are from 2019.

Not sure what I want to have for breakfast yet, think I should take some plain black beans and one of the chicken and rice dinners I got yesterday from Walmart along with the giant bins. I may add shredded cheese to the rice dinner. Dinner should be some eggs. I should heat up eggs in the mini griddle as they do taste good coming out of there. I have also broken up a package of ramen and am storing in a small container, heat up and add to meals as needed. I went overboard when they were on sale and got 30 in an order, nuts I know but could not resist the ability to add to meals or meat or even eggs.

I've changed my mind already, need simple and small breakfast before an appointment so doing up an egg in the mini griddle, poking yolk to avoid eggsplosion and adding cheese and perhaps some lentils, not too many and just put one of the 5 million condiments I bought back when the fridge shut down. I am cautious about a big meal before an appointment.

I also came across people yapping about black bean pasta, it sounded interesting to me if I am honest, might give it a try. 1/4 cup offers many nutrients. I have not yet ordered. I am also continuing to order less than 35 dollars at walmart realizing again that if I went and only got needed stuff on Paratransit, the cost is only two dollars more for the minimum delivery fee. 7.97 for that fee and 560 for the trip there and back. I don't need to always spend 50 bucks or more if just buying some basics. I have the free delivery too.

Today both cats are hanging out in bathroom, Ava on toilet seat, Tigger in the sink. One thing I like with them in there is that I have to ensure sink is clean and dry so he does get wet or covered in soap. The sprays I made out of the toilet tank disk to keep clean are still on the ago and it actually smells good and easy to clean.

I do hope all have a good day, in pockets for everyone who needs me and my own to get rid of the persistent thoughts on SIL and DB which hold no really strong emotion for me. It is hard for me to do but telling myself they owe me nothing, knowing that I can never change SIL and that is alright and need to change thoughts about myself as well. Get more active once the corner where the treadmill is less crowded. I will post with MRI results.

@mara51506,

Breathe… take it one day at a time. Sending you gentle hugs.
