    No. Probably not a good idea to use prep H wipes or a bidet on your face!

    Baby wipes then coconut oil

    Maybe I'm the weird one

    Poppy I would send DH over there for an hour, tell them you are not allowed to be around "people: after just having chemo.  Or tell them that you have chemo this weekend and you aren't allowed around people and your husband can "carry" things home to you, so sorry next time she visits...

    I agree with Blondie on this Poppy. Why risk catching something from another person. Anyone with an ounce compassion would understand if you couldn't make it.

    I went to a gathering where my nieces BIL was doin chemo

    He wanted to be there

    But there were restrictions

    He had a mask on

    No one could get close to him

    If u have even a sniffle stay home

    Me...I. Would find that excuse...anyone with 1/2 brain would understand

    And if they don't u can tell them STFU

    I think your health is more important than pleasing your MIL at this point.

    Your ability to fight infection is so low during chemo - don't take any chances to please others.

    Kracker is right - just tell them to STFU!! And as Ducky would say, do it with a smile!! :)

    FK - You mean to tell me baby wipes have been causing your tummy issues.  STFU then!  If the doctors didn't know you were using them and that there was a recall how could they have helped?  The real question is - why did it take SAMS club so long to issue the recall in the first place?  June?  Really?  I'm assuming you have stopped using them and now are feeling better.  Who would have thought baby wipes could do this.

    Poppy - You MIL needs to get a life.  Obviously, she has not had to go through chemo or she would understand that you can't be around other people and that the SEs are so bad you NEED to stay home and rest.  I agree with Blondie on this one.  Why risk it.

    If my calculations are correct, I think Poppy is probably getting her second round of chemo today.

    Its too bad we don't all live closer to Poppy, then we could tell her MIL collectively to STFU!

    Disneyland is a great idea!

    Yes, today was round 2 of chemo. Left the house at 8:30am and returned home at 7:30pm. A long day, but everything went smoothly. Picked up my wig on the way home! DH surprised me with a dainty pink sapphire bracelet after this round. His way of saying thanks for fighting this fight.

    I asked my DH what he wanted to do about going to his mom's house. He called his mom and told her that he would be home taking care of me... where he belonged. He doesn't know why she is so clueless to how difficult this cancer/chemo battle is. DH took care of this before he even talked to me about the phone call and situation. Yet another reason he's a keeper!

    Even on those fancy brooms, I'm too tired to go anywhere else today except to bed) my friends!
