I had to go get some cancer meds at the store, and they were
out so they will have them Monday. I just cant believe they would
run out of them. Them a dog in a baby carriage went after Faith
and I talk to Safeway and they said they let everyones dog in now.
I have lost my rights as a wheelchair handicap person.!

How do You do it with this dicrimanation way, where everyone is
handicap, and they ask them I have a handicap coat tags and her
liscense, They have nothing on theirs and it rides in the carts where
food and children go!

I will next time It did get Faith but she made noise, not loud,
But I will do that next time cause I need my meds and they are just
going to the deli. I was very tired too cause of the wind storm and
still got alittle cough in my chest. But life is good

Good morning hermits- I hope everyone is doing okay this morning. I have lots to do today at home, so I am going to skip playing music this weekend, but will go next Saturday.
Footprints- I am sorry to hear about your meds and the problems at Safeway. I have a sister in law with muscular dystrophy that feels the same much as you do about negotiating the world in a wheelchair. Teka provides some good advice here. Wishing you a better day today.
I hope you stay warm and comfy today. It has been cold here too, and I hear we are getting snow here tomorrow, but perhaps only in the mountains.
I bought a new fitness tool yesterday, a Garmin Vivofit and got it set up last night to track my entire day of exercise from number of steps to miles, etc. We measured again yesterday after training, and lost another 5 on the internal fat measurement. Now at 39% with the goal of getting to the low 30s for a healthy range. Still have fat to loose in other places too. It will take more time, but now I am disciplined to keep going with the knowledge all I am doing is getting me the results I need. Next week, I drop to 2 days a week with the trainer and have to begin using the weight machines on my own.
Bippy, Monis, Maiden, Mags, Blondie, Cami- love to hear from you! Anyone else too! Just thinking of some folks we have not heard from as much lately.

Teka- I agree. My problem this morning was I ran out of milk. Don't like my coffee black. Must hit the store today.....

A bit chilly here today but I can deal with it.

It's warmer here today, already up to the 50s, but tomorrow it will get cold so I must get out and rake today.

Gonna watch Wisconsin play Nebraska later in college footbal. Maybe it will help get my mind off things.

Foots - I would say Teka is absolutely right about another dog going after Faith. I would have called the police right there. I think grocery carts in general are pretty nasty things. Not sure if dogs behind is worse than drippy meat packages. And yes I too wondered when all dogs were allowed in stores not just obvious service dogs though I know not all disability is nec. obvious as in epileptic service dogs.
Have to watch my TCU Horned Froggies play today. Where I got my nursing degree. Bet it's cold in Kansas where they're playing. Cold here 46 degrees with maybe snow 1" tomorrow night. Forecasters still not sure. Wind blowing like crazy so feels much colder. We had a bit of sun but clouds back again. Sun supposed to reappear late afternoon - not confident that will happen.

Hey, Jazzy, I'm with you on milk in coffee. I used to use a splash of Coffeemate Italian Sweet Cream and a bunch of milk, but after dx, got more diligent about checking ingredients and found the Coffeemate contained soy. After much searching, I found Coffeemate Sheer Bliss, which is just milk, cream, and sugar. I miss the other flavors, especially the holiday flavors. But being ER+, soy is out.
Hoping everyone is having a good weekend.
0 -
Mags- yes, soy is out for me too. I used to drink unsweetened soy milk once upon a time, but no more. I got some groceries today and have milk again so I will be ready for tomorrow morning! I got an extra cup of coffee while I was out and about today, as I felt I did not have enough java this am.
Stores are busy with Thanksgiving meal shoppers today. I got a lot of things purchased today for my dinner that could be purchased this far in advance. That will leave only a bit of grocery shopping right before for some of the fresher veggies I need.

Got the last of the Thanksgiving shopping done today.

Onco how cool is that, you are so thoughtful to do that for them, glad you had a great time
TEKA...
Jazzy, hey
mags hang in there.
lily so sorry you are having the issues...
mommy are you delivering the stuff to my house or sending it fedx I have no idea what I am doing for thanksgiving, did nothing, oh that isn't true am watching dallas play the eagles, whatever.....will eat pbj don't care, the boys are going out for breakfast to their grandparents house.
recuperating from the 9 places that I went to yesterday, am getting a PET scan just to see what is going on since I stopped chemo, having pain but that is supposed to b, mostly bones.
HAPPY SATURDAY... thought I had to go out tomorrow realy want to make meatloaf, but George has to go to the drs. on monday so can wait and go out then.

Onco- glad your party went well. Yes, I am two years out from diagnosis (Sept 2012) and had surgery on Nov 14th that year. I had the ruptured appendix and open abdominal surgery in between. That was one spectacular fall. I am about to head into my fourth six month follow up in the Jan-Feb timeline.
Next test I am doing is getting an updated bone density check in early Dec, to see how the bones are doing on the AIs. I am hoping all the personal training/weights/weight bearing exercise has helped with that. I also did reduce all the details on my bi-line as it was all a bit too much to read every time.
And yes, here is to heading into a year of good health and feeling stronger. Onward and upward into year #3.....
Blondie- probably not a bad idea to get the scan to see how you are doing. I hope your time at the shore was good. You sound better and hope you are feeling better too? Mags is getting a PET scan as well. I hope everything goes okay there for both of you.
I am not a football fan but did see the game in passing today and it looked like it was snowing there.
I hope everyone had a decent day, and wish you all a good night's rest. Good night my hermits.

Thank for the commits on the shopping cart dog. I am very sad
that this world is breaking so many laws and can get away with it.
I didn't sleep very well last night and so I said an easy day today.
had trouble breathing, But that's one thing faith helps me with. I am
very grateful for all she does. Hope everyone takes care, and has a nice
evening.

Hi! Just popping in to say hello. I was in hospital for 3 days but was lurking. Hope everyone is ok. I'm doing better but not thrilled I now have to be on heart meds. Hope everyone has a peaceful night.

Hi everyone---wow I don't realize how much I miss---I didn't really Ketchup with everyone yet.
Maiden u just said u've been in the hospital--what is going on??? I hope u'r feeling better. They think Herceptin screwed my heart up, but they didn't exactly say it like that, so I'm on meds for it, but I think everything screwed it up.
Blondie did u go to the shore---I don't blame u for loving it and I know it's not just being waited on, it's being with u'r family--I love when we do family things I get s excited and when something happens that I can't go I get so upset. I hope ur doing OK.
Jazzy U are something, I can't wait to see u'r table all set.
MO hope things are going well for u.
Onco what a nice luncheon u had and sounds like fun--So glad u all got to enjoy it.
Foot I hope u had a better day and always rest when u feel the need to.
I've been kind of busy with work--lots of furnaces and generators already, so many people are having problems and they need someone like now--and I'm all over the place trying to help as many people as possible but it's not easy for me, cuz I forget too. And Joeys busy with lots of homework, his friends and let's not forget the clarinet Oy vey but we still had our alone time last night, which I enjoy and he still does, Thank God.
Oh I want everyone to feel good, altho I know that's not possible al the time--And some of u or all f u got u'r shot. U brave women. I have never had one. I know stupid of me, but I just don't like it.
My DD2 started school and I always hope she can do it. Shes the one who is Bi-Polar and when too much is going on she has difficulty big time, but she's just going PT and she does enjoy it so that help and its only for 10 months --we just watch her closely but I can't help but worry some--last time she went to school she was short 2 months from getting her license---but she sure as hell can cut and do hair well now, just no license, but she really doesn't want to do that anymore, She wants to be an Estatition (sp) and right now it's big going thing cuz u can get a job with a plastic surgeon or a high end place. So we're all hoping and praying so she can make some money hahaha
We got our first official snowfall today --last time I looked it was about 2 inches, but we're not upposed to be getting much, we'll see.
Mags how are u doing?
xxxoooxxx

Starting to get back to some sense of normal since I lost Charcoal. Its hard but its slowly getting better. Had a monster crying jag while showering yesterday and I keep asking myself what did he do to deserve what happened to him, but I have no answers. Our dog Jackson is being a bit mopey without the cat around. They were best friends since they were raised together. Jackson never minded Charcoal drinking from his water dish. Hubby thought it would be a good idea to go out looking for a new kitty, he thinks Chacoal would have wanted that.

Good morning hermits- waking up to a wet patio this morning and Weather.com says snow showers this morning. It was a lovely mild day yesterday, so I took advantage of that with outdoor work, but today will be more of an indoor day. Except for the daily trip to the gym.
Cami- good to hear from you and glad to hear Joey is doing well. I like that he is playing clarinet too. Google Eddie Daniels on You Tube to see one really amazing clarinetist. Eddie does classical and jazz, and lives in Santa Fe and is a world famous clarinest. I got to see him here for a concert several years back, and he is amazing.
I also hope your daughter does well with her new program. I think esteticians do well, especially if they can get in to a higher end spa or work for a plastics doc. We have some medical spas here that do all kinds of procedures that are not plastics and many work there. I know the bi-polar thing is tough too, many in my family have it too. I wish her the best.
Maiden- I am sorry to hear about your hospitalization and heart meds. Hugs sister and hope you feel better soon. Keep us posted on how you are doing or lurk, it is all good however it works for you.
Mommy- what did I miss here? You lost your cat? The same one you were talking about feeding tuna too the other day? So hard to loose a pet, I wish you peace today sister.

What happened to Charcoal? I must have missed it too......

Good morning (barely) Hermies! I'm having a quiet day, watching the snow blowing around like crazy. We're not expecting much accumulation, fortunately. I have an early appointment tomorrow with the LE specialist, then the endocrinologist for thyroid checkup. Hopefully the roads won't be too bad.
M0, I understand about losing your furbaby. It's so hard to let go. Since we've been married we've lost 3 pups who lived to 15, 2 who lived to 17, and our sweet Rufus, a Maine Coon who was only 12. We now have 2 pups, Nacho and Rose, ages 8 & 7, and kitty Sophie, age 2. After my Ace died, the pup who I delivered 17 years earlier, I was heartbroken and dogless. I lasted 35 days. Then Rose came along. They do help you heal.
Cami, I'm glad your daughter is trying school PT, that should be easier to handle. And Joey on the clarinet, how cool! My GS plays the cello. I'm glad his other GM is close enough to go to recitals.
Jazzy, enjoy your quiet day, do you have a busy week ahead?
Blondie, Teka, Foots, etc., hugs.

Jazzy & Lily, we had to put Charcoal to sleep due to kidney failure. Nothing I did wrong but the vet said that there was nothing we could do really to save him.
0 -
Maiden, sorry to hear that you had to have a hospital stay and hope that the heart meds do their job without side effects.
Cami, I love hearing about Joey. I was wondering how the clarinet was going. It sounds like he is practicing which, at first, can be interesting for the family. DD2 is in my thoughts.
M0, so sorry about Charcoal.
Lily, how are you?
Jazzy, your area sounds wonderful ... you mention so many artists from all art forms.
