@shanagirl I am sorry you are feeling so weak and dealt with sepsis from an infection as well. I am in your pocket as well. Please look up bed exercises if you are feeling week. Great ankle and calf exercises can be done while in bed and of course standing but bed may be more helpful til the energy level comes up. If sitting, can bounce your feet on floor, helps with strength as well. Don't worry about doing whole closet at once, pick a shelf or hanger and chip away at it. Take rest break and if you feel up to it, do another section. I get weak and sleepy most of the day, I can also do Paul Eugene senior gold 10 min exercise, does arms and legs.
No more suggestions from me, you will decide what works best with what you are dealing with.

I got breakfast at Mcdonalds, they had a buy one get one free on sausage mcmuffins so got two of those and an egg mcmuffin meal and couple hashbrowns, not sure how they make their hashbrowns taste so good but it was really good. Still got one more sausage mcmuffin and the egg mcmuffin. I will refrigerate those and have later on.

@intolight - Really sorry about the UTI and other current troubles with energy and oxygen. Thinking of you with fingers crossed 🤞.
@shanagirl - So sorry that the recovery looks like it will take a good while. Wish it could be so much faster for you. Love the picture of your granddaughter and great-grandson, Layne. A picture really is worth a thousand words, and thanks so much for sharing it. Thinking of you and sending a big hug.

Good early morning if anyone is a silly as me to be up at this hour. I usually do not have trouble sleeping, but since Pigeon became ill and passed, I can't sleep properly. So much going on. Haven't rec'd approval yet for Ibrance holiday, but the nurse did call. I can not have that molar pulled until after July 27. I think I'll call an oral surgical dentist and discuss another root canal versus pulling the tooth. So afraid of that possible side effect from being on X-Geva. Forgive me, I can not recall the name of the complication, but I know it is serious(osteonecrosis?).
Primary Care office pushed the pulmonologist to see me. They never respond to my calls, probably because I was adamant that I did not want to participate in a sleep study. I needed a pulmonologist to follow my lungs after two rounds of pneumonia and pleural effusions. Appt. June 26.
@shanagirl I am following your healing path. Do be patient and it will flow thru your body soon. What a horrible complication from red tide. I never knew the potential for such a serious illness. @mara51506 We hit on a wonderful lunch at the hospital cafeteria today. A side cook had chicken tacos, but they were so much more. The beans were homemade, rice seasoned just right as well as the shredded chicken. The salsa was homemade also. Can't speak to gucamola as I don't care for it. There was so much we had leftovers. With two meals, one large lemonade our bill was $19.00.
Please take care all and in your pockets for scans.

@irishlove I was up til 3am watching videos on Facebook but that was fine, not unusual for me. I tend to nap throughout the day so I have plenty of sleep. 19.00 is a great price for multiple meals at the hospital, I have not heard of such good food at our hospital cafeterias. When I was in hospital, subway was a good meal for me. Glad you have leftovers. My Mcdonalds split into 3 meals, had the hash browns and a sasauge mcmuffin then the other free sausage mcmuffin for supper. Got the egg mcmuffin left so might make up a couple of hashbrowns to have with it. I am not too sure at this point. Could take the egg out with the ham, chop some extra cheese and butter up the english muffins. Could add some of the lentils I still have in fridge and add to the updated egg combo. Post later if have good stuff.
EDIT I took the last sausage mcmuffin. Took out the egg and sausage portion, put in my chopper then added 1/3 cup canned lentils. Once chopped, put into a hot pan with extra garlic spread and mainly just stirred around, took off heat quickly and dumped into a bowl to eat. English muffin portion from mcmuffin, toasted with garlic spread. Turned out perfect. Added little bit of plain mayo and the french onion dip as well. Stirred into the meal and it was really, really good.
EDIT 2 The order I put through for the burritos I usually got was cancelled, not sure why but apparently nothing there. I do see a tina's brand that I could probably try so put through another order with the tina's brand, I will see if it gets cancelled too. If so, will need to make up own recipe of bean and beef to have. Just take beefless ground to have and heat on the stove. Tina's brand burritos were also cancelled.
EDIT 3 I put together an express delivery of some beefless ground and black beans. Decided since I could not get more beef and bean burritos, would use beefless ground and chopped black beans to make up a good tasting meal.
FINAL EDIT Got 5 cans black beans, 3 packages of beefless ground, meant to get 1 wound up with 5 so there is that and finally 5 of the Old El Paso mild taco seasoning. Between these ingredients, I will not need to get burritos for a while now. I can also add frozen pepper slices and shredded cheese and just heat up in a pot on the stove and it would be good, have to see what I want to do. I did have a rush delivery, got here in about 45 minutes.
Laundry and floors mainly, need to vacuum the window sill in living room, was a pretty wild rain last night so some dirt brought in with wind and rain. I see we are going to hit our humid stretch in a week or two so will need to run the window AC as an efficient AC vs a window fan. I do find it more efficient as I blow out the dust most days. Powerful little blower, I also pull the lint filter out as every couple of days to run under tap. Surprisingly, no fuzz in there. I still use the hang up dryer to make sure is fully dry and it only takes 10 minutes. I am also expecting an order of burritos that I enjoy. Could not get them yesterday but will find out today if able to get them. 20 bucks because ordered off delivery, no different than getting skip the dishes. If I do not get them, no charge and no loss.
I do hope all have a good day, in pockets for everyone.

Final addition to prev post re dinner. I must say dinner was quite fantastic. 1/3 cup lentils, 1/3 cup black beans and 1/3 cup beefless ground. Did not want greasy beef so went back to the meatless option. I put those in the chopper first, added some shredded cheese to chopper and some chipotle and cheddar veggie crisps, chopped all together. Once done, sprayed pan, heated it up to high on the burner and then added all the chopped stuff in there, turned off heat and put 1/3 cup water to allow for the bit of sour cream and onion seasoning and taco seasoning and stirred pan alot and put a lid on. Once done, put mixture in a bowl, took some sour cream and some queso, added little bit of salt and just mixed all together. Oh my it was yummy and I dare say yummier than my burritos ever could be. Nutritious as well and because it was measured, on a cup of the 3main ingredients.
