@candy-678 - I too am so glad that you updated us. Like @chicagoan , I've been wondering how you are doing. Re the current treatment, I was on Verzenio for about 2.5 years, and I didn't have too much gastrointestinal trouble. I've always attributed it to the fact that I eat plain Greek yogurt everyday, and also have a serving of fresh (not canned on the shelf) refrigerated sauerkraut. Lots of probiotics between those two things. The rare trouble I did have usually passed quickly, and maybe 2 or 3 time I used one immodium (two start to constipate me, and it lasts for days). Just some thoughts on what might help. If it was me, I'd try a few things and give it some time, to see if things don't get better. Verzenio can give some people a good long run. I've got fingers crossed 🤞that you find a solution and get a really long, long time with this new regimen. Sending a hug too.
@chicagoan - That sounds so, so nice to be up there in Wisconsin with the calm and peace. I know what you mean about the contrast between where you live and where you are now. I live in a business district where it's loud and noisy, but I can go just a few blocks over to a residential area and while there aren't woods and lakes, there are yards and lots of plants, big old trees, and urban wildlife, and it's extremely peaceful and I get that feeling that you could hear a pin drop, and all you hear is things like the wind in the trees, and the birds, etc. Again, not a wild area, but such a peaceful, happy, and welcome contrast - great for both physical and mental health. I was in Wisconsin once way back in the mid 70's and I was really taken by the beauty of what I saw. You are so, so lucky! Have a wonderful time up there.

My last two posts have missed the mark so trying again, should I lose this one, will type on the stick notes in laptop and copy and paste it.
Laundry on go, moving on to floors. Garbage and recycle collection tomorrow, will start taking each out, 2 bags per hour starting from 4pm. Slept OK last night between bathroom breaks. Not sure re food. Might start with one of my billions of burritos, the Tina's brand is good. Got one of those boxes of small bags of chips. My plan, to use part of the bags to level up my flavours along with the popcorn seasonings I have.
Todays first meal will be a burrito, going to put lentils and cheese on the side. Heat for around 3 min 30 seconds, I will enjoy.
I also have gifted myself a movie trip on Friday to see Spiderman Brand New Day. Been watching those movies back from when Tobey Maguire was the featured actor to today's offerings. I am also allowing myself popcorn at the theatre. Yeah, it is pricey but there are very few movies I would do that for. Got the same seat I always choose and can book the Paratransit around assuming lots of ads and trailers before the movie. Got a semi private seat as well, has its' own table.
I do hope people feeling sick are getting better, in pockets for everyone and have a good day.

@mara51506 - I think a treat/trip to the movies and getting some popcorn is wonderful! What a perfect thing to do for yourself. Enjoy it immensely!
