    That's abeautiful waterfall, @kbl I'm so glad you had a good birthday.

    We've had so much fun with all the kids and grandkids this weekend. They all leave tomorrow, then I'm going to collapse. Lol. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

    @seeq Thank you. I totally get the collapsing. I wouldn’t trade it either.

    Hopefully see you tomorrow.

    @Rosebessie Thank you, Rose. I tried upping a dosage of a medication for the second time, and it throws me over the top of nonfunctional. I didn’t take it today. It will take a few days. Sadly, it does help with my breathing, but I just can’t do it.

    Hope you’re doing well.

    Rose Bessie thanks for the shout out. I did manage to join Wednesday, which is not the lovely Monday group but equally as informative, caring and kind. My grandson left Tuesday and I will travel with mom the 17th back to NC. I’ll join my 2 sisters for a few days at Carolina beach. Hopefully the renovation will be over before I leave.
    KBL sorry you weren’t feeling well. I hope you enjoyed your birthday and are feeling better.

    @tanya_djamila Thank you, Tanya. It’s getting harder to eat, so a little notch down. Doctor coming Tuesday. Different than digestion shutting down due to dying, I still want to eat. The cancer is squeezing in and making itself comfortable. Need to eat tiny bits at a time.

    So glad you’ve had time with your mom and grandson and will get time with your sisters.

    Hi ladies,

    I won't be joining today's Monday group. I'm very exhausted plus no new developments to share. Se you all next week. But I'd be very happy to receive the chat. Hugs

    @Rosebessie Missed you today, Rose. If you have an email address, I can send it to you or you can write Winnie. She wasn’t there. It was Tia.

    @kbl Hi Kris. Thanks, I was feeling extremely fatigued. Im not sure why but I'm just leaving the house to get my bloodwork done. My email is rochwada@gmail.com. I would appreciate very much. I wasn't there to hear your update but I hope you're feeling a bit better. Youre in my prayers. Love and hugs 🫂 🤗

    @Rosebessie Very strange, there were three or four of us like that yesterday. I hope things got better today. I’m doing okay, just not able to eat a lot. I sent it to you. Let me know if you didn’t get it. Hope your bloodwork is good.

    Hugs 🤗

    @kbl thanks Kris, I got the chat abd was able to catch up a little on everyones progress, thanks a lot. Im sorry about your inability to eat much and all youre going through, and I pray that you get some occasional relief at least . My bloodwork was ok. But the Mammogram and Ultrasound showed a pea size lesion on that same breast. I'll get my Oncologists opinion on that today. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 love and hugs

    @Rosebessie Oh, shoot. Sorry about the mammogram. Please keep us posted.

    Hugs

  • Sensory tools recommended by therapists can support emotional regulation and focus, especially for individuals with anxiety or sensory processing challenges. Items like fidget tools, weighted blankets, and textured objects help create calming environments and enhance therapeutic outcomes.

    @Rosebessie sorry about mammo results. Maybe something left over. Praying for the best.
    @KBL I’m at Carolina beach with mom and sisters. Dome of heat or something. Wow is it hot. I hope you’re staying cool.

    Thanks @tanya_djamila and @kbl I've had an exhausting week with all those tests. My Oncologist didn't really give a conclusive diagnosis. But the Radiologist recommended a follow-up MRI. I'll deal with that next week. I had reflexology yesterday and it left me totally wasted. I hope I can make it for our Monday group. Love and hugs

    @tanya_djamila I’m in the mountains and still in a sweatshirt. Lol. We are having a much-needed rain.

    @Rosebessie I hope the reflexology is helping and we get to see you on Monday. Hugs back to you.

    @kbl Hi Kris, i missed your update on Monday so im just checking in on you. I'm also thinking of you and saying a prayer for you every day. And yes, the reflexology is helping me. I've been resting and sleeping a lot for the 2 days after the last 2 sessions, which strengthens my body. Also, I was advised that the full impact is felt after multiple sessions so im hopeful it will help my insomnia and reduce the accumulated toxins in my body. Meanwhile, I definitely feel more relaxed after each session. I pray minimum pain and discomfort for you. May the Lord fill your days with joy.

    @Rosebessie I went first. Thank you for thinking of me. I’m not doing well. My stomach is blown up, so my doc has prescribed a diuretic, which I will start in the morning.

    I’m going to order the hospital bed on Monday after my grandson leaves. I’m hoping to at least have relief while he’s here.

    I’m so glad the reflexology is going so well for you.

    Hugs!

    Hi. My grandson came right out and asked my daughter today if I’m going to die. This little human is the most smart boy. He knows he’s coming back for a few days and is excited. He is handling it well right now, but that he asked makes me so amazed. He can ask me anything. My heart is full. 💕

    @kbl - that is very perceptive of him. Glad to hear that he is excited about your upcoming visit. Am excited for you, your daughter and grandson. Sending lots of hugs and kisses.
