    Illimae, in the beginning (2 months ago) I was diagnosed with the UTI, but I also think I had E Coli then too, they just never tested me for it until a couple weeks ago. But I only got the results like on Saturday.

    Cami, that is the cutest baby happy dance ever! She doesn't even look like she has been walking long, let alone busting a move like that! I think I contracted both at the same time. The UTI is gone and I think the E Coli is gone as well, but taking the anti b just to make sure. I'm sorry Leslie went off on you. Care to share why? I hope things have smoothed over by now. I can only imagine that you wish you didn't need to live with one of your children, but glad that they are willing to have you. But I'm sure it helps financially with them as well.

    JCS, great reports and as well you should celebrate. Any idea what you and hubby are going to do?

    Jazzy, so happy for you! Stealing Cami's baby...LOL

    NM, where are you? You must be really busy with work.

    Mornin' ladies

    nothings working for me this morning, that was a happy cat for Jazzy. It's a good feeling. Sometimes I'm so goofy, I remember when my Dr. was talking to me about NED for a while I really thought it was Ned and someone I had to meet by the name Ned. Like now when u gals use all these letters most of the time I don't know what it is, I just don't listen to drs. Of course I still member when my kids were told to say their goodbys to me <a couple of times> and I turned out OK they used the word fluke which I thought was used for other words and no it was fluke, see why it's so confusing.See again about me, sorry.

    It's been uiet in here, I hope everyone is OK.

    JC ur Drs. sound optomistic about ur procedures, that's always good. Don't u feel better each day. When my DD got rads I member they had to be zeroed in cuz it was close to her heart. ick and now they have different kinds for different reasons. Amazing.

    Katie Marty's cousin who come around a lot <Ilike her> LOL has 2 lumps one on her sholder <it's really hard> and the other on the side of her breast which is perfectly round and moves a little. She wanted me to feel them but I know nothing well she is going to the Dr. of course now I'm worried about her. WTF this stuff never stops.

    Well my niee is taki g me to some Dr. stuff tomorrow, how I hate this stuff, it never ends, but I shouldn't complain it only takes like 5 mins to gwt to this one and the other about 3 minutes.and I'll start out in the morning so it's good, then I collapse after, it's close to home, I'm lucky. Lori I always think about u when I'm going.

    I worked all day and nite yesterday. I really forgot how hard it is. It sounds easy but my body just has a hard time. It's almost tearworthy, I'm just glad it's over today.

    LUBS U ALL

    Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Thirsty Thursday!Not going in to work until later today to offset working long days yesterday and the day before, so have time for a second leisurely cup of coffee and get ketchuped here.Sadie was not too happy with me whenI got home last night, but she forgave me after a half hour of tummy rubs and playing tuggies. I suppose the extra treats didn't hurt any!

    Goldie--I haven't heard a lot about the old office, except that a few more people have left for other jobs, this time a couple of office staff as well as a couple of nurses. I do know that the office isn't keeping the same nurse with each nursing home like before. I swear I see a different nurse in the building every week. It's sad to see the consistency going away. I love that Be Awesome pic!

    Jazzy--ahh, kittehs and puppehs, what fun!

    Morning, Teka!

    Cammy Cat--Since starting the new job I haven't dreaded Mondays at all! I even look forward to them most of the time! The weather alerts last weekend here were pretty busy, too.I can't imagine what it must be like where you are! If I can get a decent night's sleep I can deal with heat and humidity during the day, so the bedroom AC is a necessity. I'm glad I don't need it a lot of the time here.

    Super--I remember starting the school year and how hot the classrooms were when I was growing up. Very few schools in Maine had AC until a few years ago, heating was always more of an issue than cooling. I hope your room isn't too horrifically hot.I tried a hard root beer once, didn't really care for the taste, but could see how it could have been very refreshing. You never made ice cream?When I was growing up we had what is now an old-fashioned, hand cranked ice cream maker. To eat the ice cream you had to take your turn cranking!Seems like it took hours for the ice cream to freeze, but probably more like an hour or so. Vanilla, strawberry, grapenut, peach, and once in a very great while, chocolate.So yummy! Now I've got a little electric ice cream maker, put the bowl in the freezer instead of using ice and rock salt, makes a quart or so.

    Jazzy--that's one version of "no news is good news"!

    Misty--Wow, you really had a house full!Taking care of the 2 year old will be fun.

    Goldie--E coli is a bugger. It comes in hundreds of versions, with different versions being resistant and susceptible to different Anti b's.The E coli in people who are or have been on chemo can get even stronger thanks to exposure to those drugs. The only way to really answer the question is if there had been tests done before each of the anti b's was started--specifically a culture and sensitivity-- to determine what anti b's will work on the specific strain that is being bad. The way that you have been having symptoms come and go makes me think that the E coli is partially susceptible to the anti b's you've taken so far, so the infection got knocked down but not out. When the anti b's got done, the infection flared up again. Now that they know it's E coli, they should have chosen a different anti b that is more likely to knock it out rather than just down. Hopefully, they've done a culture and sensitivity test so they will KNOW what anti b to use.

    Illi--HOORAY for stable!Happy Dance!

    Janky--sorry to hear the blood counts are still problematic. I can see where it would be cranky making! Enjoy the reunion, birthday, and other celebrations.Sounds like a fun time!

    Morning, Minus!

    Chi--that granita recipe sounds really, really good!Let us know how it turns out?

    Misty--I got through the long days pretty well.It helped being able to sleep in this ayem!

    Cammy Cat--that is one wild kitteh!Nice DOTD! Blackcurrent Liqueuer sounds wonderful. There is nothing wrong with your DOTDs, they are always interesting!

    Librarian--"no invasive carcinoma found" is GREAT!!!I hope you can get the same result with the lung tumor. Enjoy the celebrating!

    Cammy Cat--I'm sorry you and your family are having a hard time. I hope it's something that will blow over soon. Your family has been through so much recently.

    Librarian--sounds like you are well on your way to NED!Glad you and the MO are on the same page.

    Jazzy--Lovely!!

    I should try some celebratory potion tonight because my Invisalign aligner is now officially a temporary retainer.But Bob's pal since high school is in from CO with his wife, and wants to see Millennium Park--there's a free symphony concert (Dvorak's #7); and with a late lunch at the Gage and then dinner at the Signature Room (95th fl. of the ex-Hancock), there will be alcohol. So still sticking with coffee, water & seltzer today.

    Congrats, Jazzy!

    Mornin' ladies,'Oh I have to stop this crazy sleep pattern I'm in. I took a shower last nite and pretty much fell sound asleep, now I'm awake.

    Kim I really never know what day it is, I have to look it up. Since Joey's home theyre all the same to me and the only day I barely work is Sunday, I just do some catch up that''s all.

    Welcome Di, except I thought u've been here before but if not just jump in whenever u feel like sharing anything u want.

    Wow Lori Kim really did some splainin' to u, tell the Drs.we've always known Kim is on top of everything from medical to alcohol so use her wisdom to help u makes so much sense, even to me. Copy it and read it to them. Kim that's why I see u as a teacher when u explain things honestly it always is clearly said. U have a gift, well more than one.

    U know for the most part whenever u gals talk about ur Drs. visits u all completely understand everything. I envy that see this is my thought process I wrote to my dr. on the computer thing cu I forget what I want to say when I'm there and I told her I finally thought of who she looked like Anne Hathaway, I don't get very medical about anything Sometimes I do forget what I write her, but she doesn't then I wonder what she's talking about and so on and so on.

    See how I can be boring any time of night or day it's my gift and I bestow it on all of you.

    Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy TGIF day!Only a half day for me, after the 2 long days I've got most of my 40 ours in for the week. Good thing, cuz this Loungettes is TIRED this ayem! But that's ok, I'll live. Sadie had a grand time at the nursing home yesterday, getting lots and lots of petting and treats and attention. Some of the residents just lit up when they saw her and were grinning from ear to ear while they were petting her and talking to her. And Sadie just lapped up all the attention like she never gets any! She seems to have an instinct for who wants to spend time with her, she'll sit right down next to them and look at them and nose nudge them to get them started petting her.Residents who are not so interested she just walks up to, wags her tail a time or two, and then moves on.Needless to say, there was lots and lots of napping going on last evening!

    Chi--Congrats on the Invisalign "graduation"! Dinner on the 95th floor sounds like a special time with a wonderful view!

    Cammy Cat--I'll let you in on a secret, I keep a calendar over my computer at home, and cross off each day so I can tell what day/date it is! Otherwise I have trouble keeping track! If you are happy with the amount of medical information you have and how much you understand, then that is the right amount for you and don't worry about what the rest of us do!I'm one who wants to know all the details, and there are people all along the spectrum from where I am to "I don't want to know anything except when and where to show up." It's all good. Joey is over 6 feet?WOW! Talk about growing UP!

    Cami, good luck at your dr appts. today. As for short cuts with the letters, just ask. Do you know that NED is "no eveidence of disease". And I know YOU KNOW WTF! I also hope things are better with Leslie. I was thinking yesterdday how Joey would make you and him coffee and drink it together. Does that still happen? Sorry to hear about Marty's cousin. You think of me when you go to the doctor cuz yours is a short drive and mine is 8 hours? You are anything but boring....lol. That young man is going get even taller, wow, over 6'. Was he surprised? I bet he's one of the taller kids his age.

    NM, doesn't sound like much has changes at the old place. Do they send nurses to your current job? I wonder because you say that you see the same nurse in the building every week. School here starts around Aug. 8, I don't know if the rooms have AC, it's just an elementary school, the older kids have to go to another city. But we have been in the mid 90's for I don't know how long, often reaching triple digits and it continues. We too had one of those old crank ice cream makers. Me and my brothers would take turns cranking. I don't remeber disliking the job, I guess it was the reward after! Never any flavors, just vanilla. I totally agree with you in the E Coli getting knocked down but not out. They did do a culture a couple of weeks ago (but not in the beginning), I don't know about the sensitivity tho. Amazing how Sadie knows that, but it doesn't surprise me!

    Sandy is it a good thing that your mouthware is becoming a retainer? Hoping to see some pictures of your dinner on the 95th floor! Not pictures of your dinner, but the view....lol!

    I couldn't make it to my dental appt, they canceled. Yesterday I had a spell in the late afternoon where I was feeling a little dizzy and got a temp for about an hour...weird. And I hadn't had my anti b since the morning. Feeling a little woozy this morning too, and haven't had any drugs yet. We had a container of product arrive in LA on July 10th. It finally arrived to us yesterday, however it was missing all of one product that we have over 40 customers waiting on and paid for. Now I think we are going to have to refund all of them! It's a huge mess. Will go to town today if I'm feeling up to it. And MAYBE a drive to Moab for a few days, no camping, glamping at the Hilton! Just 3 days/2 nights. It's about a 6 hour drive when we don't have the camper.

    Good morning to all! It does sound like there has been some good news lately, so I hope that continues for everyone! NativeMaine, I am sure those residents loved their visit from Sadie, and I believe wholeheartedly that you are correct when you say she seemed to know instinctively which residents wanted to spend time with her. She sounds like a ham and a gentle soul all rolled into one adorable bundle of fur!

    I am tired this morning also and lingering over a second cup of coffee, but it is a good tired. I had such a good day yesterday-the rare day since my diagnosis that just felt like a normal day. I met a friend for coffee at a new coffee shop, then I raced home to toss together a dessert to take to my friend's pool where I spent the afternoon, and then last night I had a wonderful dinner with my husband at my favorite local restaurant. Between the pool and dinner, I ate way too much and there was more than one drink of the day, but it just felt good to enjoy everything and everyone.

    First drink of the day yesterday was a red sangria my friend made to sip poolside. Delicious.

    Second drink of the day was not technically a drink. My dessert was an Ina Garten recipe consisting of fresh berries tossed with a small amount of sugar and limoncello liquor then served with a dollop of a lemon curd, yogurt, honey, and vanilla mixture. It had rave reviews on the Food Network website, and I thought how could fruit be so rave-worthy, but it truly was. And, oh those juices that formed from the fruit macerating in that limoncello. Yum! For anyone who may have a bottle of limoncello sitting in the freezer that you are wondering what to do with, here is the recipe: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/fruit-salad-with-limoncello-recipe-1944532

    Third drink of the day-one glass of wine with dinner which was a dish made with zucchini, squash, eggplant, roasted garlic, roasted cherry tomatoes, and walnuts over a fresh pappardelle pasta. I figure the meal (minus the pasta) was a nutritional powerhouse, so the wine was allowed!

    Getting ready to go paddle boarding with my sister later this morning. She is a teacher and a breast cancer survivor also, so we are trying to make the most of what is left of our time off before heading back to school in a few weeks.

    Hoping all of you have a wonderful day and that the weekend brings some time to relax, refresh, recover from any procedures, and enjoy time with your loved ones. ( four-legged ones definitely included in that!)

    DH and I went to Aiken, SC to walk in a planned garden, have lunch and hike in an urban forest. It was great fun. The weather was warm, but nice. We had lunch at a local craft brewery and enjoyed a few beer selections. Next week I am back on chemo so I want to enjoy things while I can! First pictures are the garden, hamburger for lunch then the forest. Horses are allowed there so the path was really wide.

    Mornin' ladies,

    Lori this thing u have, soneone has to get to the bottom and give u the right meds. I know they told u what was wrong but it's got to be horrible for it to just come on anytime anywhere. I hope u go away and just RELAX for once. U won't have to clean, cook or anything, just enjoy. Oh what a mess business wise, I can only imagine. Another worry I know. Oh Lori Joey still makes me coffe and we sit and talk, now about older blonde girls <he always like blondes> as u know and adulty things, which I always think I'm good doing. LOL And when he rubs my legs with cream, he's still has the gentle touch with me. U all have to know that's why I love living here, it's him;

    Kim I know u gals don't mind if I don't get all the medical talk ur used to me, but I think the newbies must think I'm goofy <well I am too> Ah Sadie how we love her. All of her antics over the years has been a hoot and she's always been so smart the patients have to love her. And I hope ur weekend is relaxing with Sadie.

    Jazzy that pic. was scary, like for the movies.

    Super I enjoyed ur explanation of food and drink I got thirsty and hungry all at the same time

    OK I'll be right back

    Hey Teka I always like how u handle things, waiting for breakfast. LOL

    Super u have lots of energy and ur using it wisely. Good for u.

    JC great pics. and u and ur DH look fantastic. Sounds like a beautiful time u had together. Of course I zeroed in on the food, I always do. But all the surroundings are so peaceful.

    Well my Drs. went fine. She has all the test thing in her office now, so I had my blood work done and another thing, yea it took longer but I didn't have to go to the hospital. She's so funny she asked me what diet I was on hahaha and I told the truth, twinkies, ice cream, chocolate cuz I lost 10 lbs. but I told her I watch how many twinkies I eat. I've lost about 130 lbs over a time but I still don't look like it to me. She's actually concerned. I'm not, I insisted her scale was wrong anyway so not to talk about it. And we didn't. I told u Leslie started going to her and not to mention me but somehow in their talking Joey's name came up and a little about how close he is to his grandma, the Dr. then asked her if I was her mom and she said yes and the Dr. started talking about what a wonder young man she's raising and she's so impressed with him. LOL That kid gets around. I told her I hadn't taken my BP meds cuz I was out for about a week so if it's high that's the reason. Any excuse well it was 102/52, I should have kept my mouth shut. She found a few things she didn't like but no big deal. I was told I was dehydrated, it's the skin of an old person, she should know that. see I'm blabbering again. All right Ill stop.

    LUBS U ALL

    Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Saturday!A beautiful weekend shaping up here. Sadie and I are going to enjoy it as much as possible. Sadie is still happy from her trip to the nursing home, she keeps coming up to me and grinning, and then going to the door where her harness is kept. That's her signal she wants to get in the car and go somewhere (the harness is part of her "seat belt" and means we're going somewhere). I'm thinking another trip to the lake this afternoon is in order.

    Goldie--No, not much change at the old place, and what changes are happening don't seem to be good ones.It's sad to see a great team falling apart, but I guess that is life. They do have Hospice patients in mynursing home. Elementary and High School around here usually starts in September, right after Labor Day. College and Universities start a couple weeks before that. I'm not surprised that Sadie can read people so well, I think dogs have developed strong hooman-reading skills so they can most effectively manipulate and train us to make their lives comfortable!I am sorry to hear about the delivery problems. So much hassle to deal with. Enjoy the glamping trip!

    Super--Silly Sadie is quite a character! She loves attention and seems to like visiting people.This was the second time I took her to the nursing home, and it worked out well, so now I have to get her an official office water bowl and keep a supply of treats on hand for future visits!Ah, the wonder of a normal day!Good for you for going with it and taking advantage, even if it meant a bit more alcohol than you typically imbibe. The occasional indulgence won't make or break anything. Thanks for the recipe, I'm one who generally keeps a bottle of Lemoncello in the fridge for both sipping and cooking. Definitely adding that recipe to my collection!

    Jazzy--I'm glad we don't get monsoonal storms here! That sky looks terribly threatening.

    Librarian--what a beautiful place to walk!

    Morning, Teka!

    Cammy Cat--You and Joey have such wonderful times together, these are times you will both remember forever! Glad the dr's appointment went well. It's good that your doc knows Leslie and Joey, too! Too funny! Wish I could eat twinkies and chocolateand ice cream and still lose weight like you do!I think everyone in the world is dehydrated to some extent these days. We all need to drink more, so break open the booze cabinet!

    Hi ladies- just a quick note before I head to Santa Fe. Today is the last of my music things for a bit, a concert with the jazz legend Stanley Clark. I think I saw him once long ago at the Newport Jazz Festival when I was back in CT for 10 years after school, but was not "up" on all the musicians then (or heck, even now?) Anyways, got a junior suite at one of the Hilton properties there and going to have a little get away to Santa Fe and come home tomorrow afternoon.

    Wishing you all a great weekend. August is on the horizon!

    Stanley Clark is one of my favorite bassists. (I remember the supergroup, "Animal Logic," he formed with Deborah Holland and the Police's Stewart Copeland). We have dodged the monsoons thus far--and no rain forecast till Monday. So gotta water the tomatoes & herbs today.

    Had some friends visit us from CO yesterday. We hung around here for awhile, then took the CTA down to Millennium Park. Late lunch/early dinner at the Gage gastropub across the street--had a sparkling Grenache rosé from the Languedoc that was a tad sweeter than I'd have liked. Saw the Grant Park Symphony concert (free, main event was Dvorak's Symphony #7; "undercard" was a gratingly dissonant piece by a composer named Lopez; and then two more melodic pieces featuring the McGill brothers: one is the principal clarinet of the NY Philharmonic, the other principal flautist of the Seattle Symphony). Our hearts sank when we saw the lawn cheek-by-jowl filled with picnickers, but it turned out there were plenty of regular seats, and we sat right behind the tech booth (best sound).

    Felt a bit dizzy & lightheaded after, so I had a Spindrift orange-mango fruit-juice-flavored seltzer (10 cal., no added sugar) at Panera. We cabbed it up to the Hancock, but once seated we discovered to our chagrin that every patron had to order at least one full entree--and our friends weren't that hungry (though we were). Even though it was 10 pm, they would not make an exception, so we went upstairs to the 96th fl. lounge; but it was horribly noisy and the food menu (separate kitchen) was very limited, pricey, and except for the "raw bar for 2" (small cold seafood tower) carby as all get-out. Drank a 2017 sparkling Blanc de Blancs from Burgundy--dry but not like those from Champagne itself.

    Super, it's nice to have a "normal" day, isn't it? The dessert sounds very yummy. I think NM makes her own limoncello. And then paddle boarding, wow!

    Jazzy, still no rain for us, other than a down pour with high winds yesterday that lasted about 2 minutes! It rains all around us, so that is good for the water table. It just always goes around our little area here, do hot and dry. Enjoy your little get away. Yum yum on the watermelon margarita.

    JCS, what a lovely time for you and your DH. Pretty pictures and love the one of you two.

    Cami, it's nicej to hear you and Joey still have your coffee together, and how gentle he is with you. He loves you so much, and of course I know it's mutual. And yes, I know he likes blondes! You've lost 130 pounds? Since I saw you?

    NM, how sweet and SMART, that Sadie wants to go in the car and lets it be known. Hope the two of you made it to the lake.

    Sandy, sounds like a nice time was had with your friends.

    Heading out to Moab early tomorrow morning, but I should be able post as I usually do in the mornings. Don't have anything planned, unless we head to mountains, cuz Moab will be to hot. And yippee ki aye, last day for anti b's and time for my vacation from FU pills for a week. These anti b's make me loopy, not all the time, it just comes and goes as it pleases, even hours after I have taken it.

    Good Morning. Loungettes!Another beautiful day shaping up here. I need to get outside and get some lawn work done this ayem before it gets too hot today, waited too long yesterday and got nothing done. I'm teaching the test-taking class for the first 3 days of this week, then back to the nursing home just in time for end-of-the-month and beginning-of-the-month audits and such, so going to be a busy couple of days at the end of the week. But that's ok, I enjoy it and love seeing the progress being made.Poor Sadie ends up listening to me babble on and on about that stuff when I get home.But she seems to be ok with it as long as I'm tummy tickling or ear scratching!

    Jazzy--have a good get-a-way!

    Chi--Sounds like you had great seats for the concert. Too bad about the must-order-an-entre place. I wonder how much business they lost over that? I bet you weren't the only ones to decide to go somewhere else.Sorry the somewhere else wasn't as good.

    Goldie--I make my own Kaluha, but I don't make limoncello. Although maybe I should look into that? Hmm.Sadie and I didn't make it to the lake yesterday, there were some pretty ominous looking clouds blowing in and the occasional, faint rumble of thunder. My weather app was saying there was lightening within 15 miles. Decided to go to the bean suppah instead, good thing, too, as it was just Mom and Dick so I actually got to visit with them for a bit. Often in the summer there are so many people going with us that I don't even get to speak to Mom and Dick except to say hello. Enjoy the Moab trip!

    DOTD:

    Can't top a watermelon margarita!

    Mornin ladies,

    Teka I enjoy when u just drop in, its so Teka LOL.

    Jazzy u make the most of any time off, u always have and it's great cuz I know too that there will be pics. Enjoy.

    Oh Sandy what a wonderful time u had with ur friends, it so nice to share good times. But I have to say the 96th floor does not sound enticing to me. Did u get dizzy cuz u needed water or something, does that happen a lot . U know I have to know why. How long has the 96th floor rest. been there, do u know???

    Lori yes since I've seen u I've lost the weight, but as far as I'm concerned I still look the same. Now u r going away right just to relax RIGHT. How is ur DD doing now, it's almost time.

    Kim glad u can still take Sadie back. She has done so many silly antics, one of the funniest is when she coveted ur kitchen stuff and put it away where she wanted it.She's a super furbaby and I know how much u both enjoy each other. Our dog loves to go for rides, but they have learned to keep the windows closed so he can't jump out.The other nite he woke everyone up barking around 2am, my kids thought one of the guys from work was leaving but no it was me going to the bathroom...he's just nuts.

    I'm wishing everyone a nice Sunday

    LUBS U ALL

    Great concert. His band is filled with amazing young musicians. His performance on the upright base was the best anywhere I have seen
