Re: My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
@irishlove Congrats to the most amazing news!! May your cancer stay quiet for a very long time! Fingers crossed that you don't have to resort to your plan and DG gets the help she needs and deserves. As hard as it can be you're absolutely doing your job as her grandma.HUgs
@mara51506 Wrapping you in a hug, continue to let your emotions flow and take one day at a time. I agree with shanagirl your brain has been through a trauma and sometimes it just needs time to reset. Sending good thoughts your way today 🌺
@intolight Hope you're feeling well post chemo. Agree we are getting closer to the end of winter and it never feels quick enough!!
Coffee cheers to all here today, in your pockets for all your appts this week.❣️

Re: So...whats for dinner?
Wally I’m so sorry about your DH. That must be so difficult. Hugs to you.
My fatigue today was from staying up too late, getting up too early and a low blood sugar episode that while they don’t happen often, when they do they always wipes me out. I’ll be fine tomorrow.
Re: how about drinking?
I ordered a butt-load of boxed wine. Should arrive on Thursday.
I want to thank all of you who donated to my lark on the go-fund-me. I've asked that all the money be returned, so please look for your refunds. Just a shout-out that I appreciate you, gals.

Re: STFU (Shut the F*** UP)
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$444444444444444444, my hair kinda looked like that for the luncheon today, Matched the top. I was with a range of colors, many white to gray-----------and colors colored.-------I used about 4 color chalks. Only several compliments.
But the group wasn't used to it. Which is odd, b/c they are the Brit qroup-------this was the Xmas party. Their usual parties are pretty wild. Even if they are white hairs.
Unbenownst to me or her------a great gal name Peggy and I sat next to each other--happenstance---------she introduced her self as having a hearing loss and early stage dementia. OMG.. I'm life long hearing loss-------and understand short term memory and long term memory loss. Kept translating the table conversation to her. It was great. Even if she didn't remember it 5 or 1 minute later didn't matter. Kept her in the moment. We had lot's of laughs and asked the table what they were talking about and talked in her ear and she offered her opinion. ...........What I learned later was she would scream out at other functions----take me home etc. I told my dear friend Maureen. If this gal comes to another function------I'm there.
Peggy's 85 has a disability of hearing, dementia she announces to everyone. Why? Every word we shared was cognizant. Did show signs of repetitiveness. But the JOY I had was I kept here in the conversation at the table. COOL. VERY COOL.

@irishlove I am so very happy on your remission news, takes out cancer from what you deal with in your life. Please continue to visit us here anyway, we all love to hear from you.
I forgot to complete my post today so here is how today went, completed laundry, bed was not made, will make it to get into it easier and make it up tomorrow.
I ate one of the beef and macaroni meals, heated 5 mins in microwave, put slices of garlic bread on top of it and heated those for the last minute. Once out, put some regular mayo as a binder, salt and sour cream and onion seasoning. Very good meal. Then couple hours later ate up the rest of my potato chips, sour cream and cheese flavour and after that a yogurt, was really very nice to eat
Re: Contemplative practices - Affirmations, white light visualizations, healing meditations
@threetree i know, that’s why it’s a practice lol. I read recently it takes 28 days and 5 minutes a day to form a new habit. I’m going for the kindness and forgiveness habit.. I’ll keep you posted lol… 🙏
@henry994 i love a mantra Breathe practice too. So calming to quiet the mind and center with an image.
Here is a new image/ pic from the James Webb Space Telescope, dark matter. I love this one.
Re: Stage IV MBC Fitness
hi @gailmary here is YouTube I’ve used for neuropathy , perhaps try this if it feels right. The maple tree cancer alliance was recommended to me by my surgeon a few years back, and I had a personal trainer from there for a bit too. All online. The founder made this video, and I found it helpful for balance and strength . ❤️❤️ wishing you healing and joy, Rhonda
