yes it is.
it is time for Jerry to renew his car and he is driving me crazy. He rereads all the paper work over and over all day long. he is a type that has to pay his bill the day he gets its.. Kathy will be here Friday to help him get it done.. Most of the time he act normal but any changes made it throws him for a loop. he will not let me take over in paying the bills and I am afraid he might go on a overdraft. For he does not keep his listed.. But so far so good.
Thanks for listening to me.

You can vent anytime here, Marie. You have always said that growing older is not for sissies, and you are right. Maybe you could check the checkbook when he goes to bed or outside.
I try to keep busy every day because I live with a negative person and that drives me crazy. I take care of my grandson a couple of days a week, and it’s an hour drive. I love the drive and spending time with him. Sometimes I spend the night if I’m needed the next day. Wish I could get away for a week!

Marie, Glad you girls are able to help you out.
Prayers for you and Jerry.
We also didn’t get good news from our Oncologist last week. Ben finished his 2 year treatment with Rituxan in January and since being off treat his blood count has nose dived.
Wanted to start treating with a new drug but having trouble getting things worked out. With our insurance the Co-Pay is around $3500 a month. We decided to go to the beach for our heads to clear.
Nancy0 -
Oh Nancy so sorry to hear that. 3500 a month is unreal. Best of luck .to you both sending my prayers for you
I deloped a new pain my right knee hurt to bend it/ having to get Jerry to help me get up, after I am up no pain.
My girls will be here Saturday for a Garage sale. We have the best location right off a main road Close to town of Mesquite
Love Marie0 -
Wow, Nancy, that’s awlful! The beach is the best place to go to think about next steps...especially early morning sunrise walks to talk with God. He has a plan for you guys.
Marie...good luck with the garage sale...hope the weather is good.

Hi Connie and Marie,
Hope all is well with you.
We are still in limbo regarding Ben’s treatment. Have not heard a word from Diplomat who is the specialty pharmacy we have been turned over to.
He was denied by the VA and he is Service Connected for Non Hodgkin Lymphoma for which the drug was ordered. We have Medicare and Federal Blue Cross. The drug Imbruvica is very expensive ($12,000) a month and with our FEPBLUE the copay is 30%per month. NHL patients do extremely well on Imbruvica and that is our Oncologist first choice for this stags of Ben’s treatment. Not sure where we go from here.

Nancy exactly what is it Ben have ? That's is terrible that he can't get his medication at a reasonable price..
I am really enjoy having Walmart ship my orders to me and love the pick up orders from Walmart neigorhood grocery store. And a little over a mile away., So is very handy. Poor Jerry cannot remember how to get there. So I have to tell him where to turn at to get there. But he is still a very sweet guy and I love him he takes very good care of me except cooking. But Alice and I are working on that. We went grocer shopping yesterday and the salads stuff is really bare guess I will be eating a lot of zucchini salads now. for a while Making some Sweet potatoes cheese sauce all plant base style to go on my noodles. Vegan style.
I am following a starch solution plan now. I just started today and i go for 7 days and weigh in and if I like the results I will continue if not I guess I will just stay fat.

Sounds, good, Marie...I have not tried fruit in there yet.0

I am going to try some frozen cut okra for tonight. not the breaded kind.
we had a nice rain this morning. and due for one tomorrow too.0 -
Marie, You can surely come up with new ideas with your food that sounds so good. I have not gotten an air fryer yet but you make
me think I might need one.
Have a good week.
Nancy0 -
Nancy...I use my air fryer nearly every day! Love, love, love fish and salmon cooked in it, not to mention fries! The beauty of it is no breading necessary for the fish..just seasoning is enough.0

Nancy I do not cook meat in mine but loves those frozen sweet potatoes fries
I bought me a new steam microwave dish and it does wonders for frozen veggies at least the baby potatoese and brissell sprouts with 2 T. of soy sauce as my water to steam them.0 -
Wow!!! That sounds like a wonderful way to cook.
I just don’t know if I have room for another appliance on my counter top.0 -
I just made room for mine. Its kind of crowded but manable0
