I just started reading (only went back to the beginning of August), and already I love you guys!! Cannot wait to get to know each of you better. But for now I’m about to try to get some sleep.
I had chemo yesterday (with Dexamethasone in the premeds), laid down at 3 pm for a nap, woke up around 6 pm and have been wide awake ever since. It’s currently 9 am. I THINK I’m getting sleepy enough to be successful at napping at least. Wish me luck!

Welcome, SheliaMarie! (sorry I didn't catch your message earlier--I've been sunk into the CrazyTown of a small-town community college) The board has changed since its origins but I'd hope that we would welcome you. We've all been through crazy.
Sleep when you can. Speak when you will. We will be here for you (I hope!)

Happy fall y’all from somewhere north-northeast of you, Jazzy! I continue to be confined to bed though it’s not such a bad thing now with the adjustable insert, so I can reposition myself without too much effort or loss of air. I have a fun story for you, though.
Last week I had 2 appointments scheduled for Thursday, a 10:30 with my rheumatologist and a 2:00 with my PCP. Well, both my cousin/caregiver and I overslept Thursday morning, so there was no way we could get to the morning appointment on time. She called their office and asked if we could come later or reschedule. No on the later and the only reschedule slot was Friday at 10:45, so we took it. Friday was the deluge of the century, flash flood watches everywhere and rain coming down in buckets. The rheumatologist’s office is in a medical tower with no portico and only one rather stee wheelchair ramp. It’s hard for DCC to push me up the ramp in normal conditions, much less what we were facing Friday. She asked me to call up and request assistance, so I did and they said they would try. A few minutes later a knock on the window and the back van door slid open - and my rheumatologist himself climbed in the back seat, closed the door, and conducted the consultation right there, from the back seat of the van!! I do like this guy, and for many other reasons.
But right now, my entry box is slowing down, which is its way of telling me it’s time to submit and move on. So with that said, I will attempt to do just that. And will hopefully do a better job at updating

Mags, your dr is what medicine should be! Real compassion for his patients. That warms my heart on such a sad day.
Condolences to my fellow Insomniacs that were also friends with Patty.
She was always the sweetest thing. I know we will all miss her.

Thanks to Mominator who kept us updated on Patty on her dedicated thread during her final months/weeks/days. I always loved her wonderful spirit and sense of humor. Loved the "hootie hoo" too and see owl motif things around and think of Patty now (and always will).
Mags- your doctor was a peach to do that. Hoping today brings you some joy. Do you still have that cute kitty?
Off to work, have a good day friends.

we bought candy....bad idea...really really bad 🤔🤔😳😳

Susan- my mother was a big sugar person and always bought candy early and we ate it all before Halloween. I know what you are saying. I don't eat sugar anymore but when I did, it was bad news to buy too early.

I try to buy one bag of something I like and the rest Reese's Peanut Butter, which I don't like. It kind of balances the control/lack of control. I'm not buying until a week before, also.

Not getting any candy until a day or two before Halloween!
0 -
Yeah, susan3.....real bad idea. DH and I use a combination of methods 1 and 2: buy a bunch of candy we don't like and one weeny bag or 2 of wha we do like.....and then we hide it somewhere inconvenient.

some of us are slow learners.
Just want to vent for a second. Been in so much pain today. Never got out of bed. It is so hard to give myself permission to do that.
Ok done...

Very sorry to hear you have had such a rough stretch Susan

Susan- sorry to hear about the pain. Sending you love

Oh Susan, my sweet and crazy friend, if it cathartic to vent.....vent away. I am sorry to hear of your pain. It's hard to slow down, is it? I know exactly what you mean.

Hello all!
It's been a very long while since I posted in here (Paleo thread keeps me hopping), but wondered if anyone knows what is up with sas-schatzi ? I've tried contacting her and I'm not hearing back. Does anyone know her status? Any news would be appreciated....thanks!

I came across this video on YouTube that talks about the Stevenson Pet Retirement Community at Texas A & M University Veterinary School. I thought it was heartwarming and wanted to share. I hope you enjoy!
