i am at the end of my rope, not really a hermit more of a volcano.....really let OH have it tonight in a restaurant, he started with all his usual stuff and i told him he should live with a man as detached from life as hinself, that thirty minutes befire surgery is not the best time to decide to finally offer interest and emotional support, that he iswasting his life, i will not take any more of his leaning on me emotionally,and linguistically, that I feel alone with a capital A and i threw my ring at him over the table........I dont want to live where I am anymore.......and i feel a bit of a cheat, you are all quite upbeat and i am spitting tacks

Lily, feel free to vent ... I think venting to friends, which we are, is part of taking care of yourself.

Lily- sorry about the problems in your relationship. I know things have not been good with him for awhile. It is hard having people depend and need from us when we are not feeling well and trying to heal. You need to take care of you first and he needs to get that. Spitting tacks is what we need to do from time to time. Hugs sister.
Mags- sounds like some of the SEs are starting to settle in from the first treatment. I hope you can rest tonight and feel better tomorrow.
Met some friends from a client site here in town I worked at a few years back. I have not seen these ladies in a year or more, and it was nice to catch up. Nice thing about not being on the demanding project is having more time to see people I have not seen in awhile. I am enjoying coming up for air.....
It's raining tonight. Yay!

Good Morning---I hope some of u got to enjoy the fireworks and the day.
Sorry Mags it can be horrible we were all hoping it might be easier on u that's why we don't say much, I actually have heard women say it wasn't awful, not me but some--My vivid memory was I had 4 months of chemo before surgery, then I was told after surgery it was going to continue for at least a yr and finish with Herceptin. I thought they all hated me so, cuz I thought with surgery came the rads and I was done. I got blind sided, but each chemo was different so maybe u'll get a little lucky. Remember u'r water and rest, not a lot more u can do but if u feel like it somedays take a walk.

Teka, that duck is darling!
Mags, I am hoping you are feeling better today. Also, am hoping that since Cami says each infusion day can be different that maybe the next infusion will not be so bad.

Not to worry, Teka, you won't find me sunning myself. Big challenge is drinking water. I know, Cami, I need to, it just doesn't come naturally to me. Drinking my juice now, carrot, beet, spinach, apple. Other than that, just resting . No walks today.

Cross posting from our July chemo thread because I'm too lazy to write it all out again.
I'm noticing the change in how things taste. I usually drink a lot of orange juice but it's not tasting good, and the worst thing is, I can't stand the taste of ginger any more! Right now I'm drinking cranberry juice, that seems ok. Strangest thing is, I'm not wanting the bland stuff, I'm wanting savory. I had a hot dog with ketchup and mustard and bread and butter pickles and it was really good and set well. DH is grilling some brats for dinner and I'm going to have some with some special mustard and good potato salad. Looking forward to eating...priceless.

I am so glad u checked in. It tasted like metal, it doesnt have to b water it can b anything liquid, I drink alot of milk still, n milkshakes, water makes me nauseous n I cant drink it, so put crystal lite or the Walmart brand in the water. Also jello works, mine is consistency, that is why milkshakes n mashed potatoes. ? Rest as much as u can n dont push ur self.

Funny how I can taste metal in the orange juice but not the cranberry. What a relief that it doesn't have to be water! Cousin managed to find me some whey protein so I can make shakes. That will help.
Oh and coffee tastes like crap too.
Good news is, nausea has subsided for the time. Really tired, hitting the sack now.
I wouldn't make it without my hermits. Bless you all.

Good Sunday Morning Ladies
I'm sorry I'm not here so much things are a little crazy here but it will be back to normal soon.
Mags I'm glad u drinking--I hated water all I ever drank was 7UPbefore but since I found propel, m favs are peach and lemon I've been drinking it ever since and no more soda. Are u trying the plastic forks and stuff and biotene toothpast and mouthwash? It might help. I'm glad u can eat tho, so that's good.
How is everyone doing--I'm just doing like usual, I hope every is having a decent week-end.

Good morning hermits!

Good morning hermits- getting ready to go to the farmers market and also meet a friend for brunch. The last of my very social week/weekend.
I had a great time up north yesterday with my friend doing the rafting, and then spending a bit of time in Taos. The morning included a 2 hour float on the Rio Grande through the gorge, which was beautiful. We saw some bats dipping along the river surface for bugs I assume. Rare to see bats out in the daytime, but lots of things to eat I suspect. Other birds too. Our guide was an interesting gal, whom is a raft guide all over the country including the Grand Canyon, Alaska, Hawaii, etc. She is also a musician and brought a little guitar and sang to us along the way. That was a lovely surprise and addition to the experience, and it was a beautiful morning out in nature.
Afternoon was lunch a bit of shopping in Taos. We had a great meal in town, then hit one of my fav stores there which is also hers and came away with some goodies. Came home to soaking rains that started shortly after my arrival. Long but fun day. Will slow down today when I get home (sure you will Jazzy.....)
Cami- I hope you are doing okay, just busy with work?
Teka- brownies sound delicious. Send some this way!
Mags- I hope you are through the worse of the chemo reaction today and start feeling better now.
Blondie- I hope you are continuing to feel better too?
Hoping all the other hermits here have a good final day to this long weekend.
