I’m still in Ohio where it’s gone from spring to almost winter. Sooo cold. Happy to see family. But going from place to place - two nights here, two night next place etc. gets tiring. Starting to look forward to going home and some warm weather.2

You've been spoiled by your extended sojourn in the desert. We are actually having a beautiful day without rain and at 11/52 depending on how you set your oven. As a consequence our tails and ears are both up2

I had a few days like that in Newfoundland - sleeping here and there - very tiring!
We had a glorious day here - 23c / 73f. Sunny. Breezy. Perfect!2 -
Share your day? Share your bed? Maybe we need that second category for a thread 🤣
I'm tickled to have my god dog with me for the weekend. ❤️

Sometimes he's a bit hoggy with the bed space though...😁

I do like what you've done with the place Laurie! Looks awesome!

The real fur adds a sophisticated touch

All I’ve got hubby but he’s not as furry anymore……1

You maybe should pick him up a nice cheetah skin onesie????

You gals are.... interesting🤔 I was discussing the wall, baseboard and area rug I'll let you know! 😎1

Oh - the secret life of women. Men don’t know the half of it!
It’s the last day of our vacation to visit family. Rainy and cold like the early springs of my youth. Catching up with family is difficult as we all age. Everyone seems compelled to share medical minutia. And it ain’t good news. But we’re all we have, so ........
I’ve done my best to keep my particulars private. Mercifully I don’t have much drama to share.
Today is hubby’s birthday 🎂. There will be cake and hugs all around.

Happy birthday, Yooly's Hubby!1

Of all the work I've done to this house, PAV, the pups are the best addition 1

Welcome home Laurie! Glad to see you had a great trip.
This weekend was a rough one. My brain was being difficult so ended up having to take extra meds Saturday night to get it to shut up. Also just ate horribly. Like to the point I want to just forget about it and am embarrassed at how bad it was.
I did have some good though. Went to the Farmer's Market and then Trader Joe's on Saturday. Then Sunday I went to an Artisan's Market a few stops north which was a lot of fun. Spent too much money and bought too much food, but I always find the best stuff at things like that.
Monday however came way too fast.1 -
Thank you, Athijade.
Glad there was soom good in your weekend!
I hate when my eating goes off the rails like that. But the only thing you can do is put it behind you and carry one. I hope you can find your way back to a good eating groove.1 -
Me too (the hoping part), for both Athijade and myself.
You're funny Yoolie on your 70s with the medical issues! What's our excuse in our 50's? I mean it feels as if it's almost everyone I know and any remaining parents that we have hanging in there!
At least I can wish a Happy 🎈🎂 🎈 birthday to your hubby!!!!😎2 -
I agree, PAV. But that might just be the spot I'm in at the moment. Health concerns seem to have taken over my life
Good luck getting back to the good eating groove. I'm there so far today. Yesterday was a big detour 2 -

Glad re: you being back in the groove....
Hmmm... thought about alphabetically listing the issues of various people I know... (you would be under L
)... but I think I run out of screen space so decided to backtrack!

I would be under L ????? Lucky Larger Loser !!!!2

Try 40's Pav. I swear my life centers on what medical issue is acting up today. Physical? Mental? Maybe I should just roll a dice and see what I get!
Yesterday was still not great food wise, but a lot better then over the weekend. I did start my little food notebook. Just writing down what I eat and drink and then how I feel. Once I have more data, I am hoping I can figure somethings out. Like if I eat X, I feel like Y. Then increase what makes me feel good and decrease/eliminate what makes me feel bad.3 -
This sounds like it could be very useful, Athijade. Even the process of simply "owning" what you eat for a little while with no guilt or pressure. I hope that is the case anyway.2

Good plan ✅2

Up early (for me) today. Pre-op booked for this morning. Seems unnecessary since I had all the pre-op tests just over a month ago? Alas. The hospital gods deem it so. Second surgery requires second set of tests. This is feeling a bit like the real-life action flick Ground Hog Day

Pre-op again! Well Laurie at least you know the drill. And it will be good to get this all behind you soon. I’ll light that candle for you again. 🕯2
-
By the time I'm reading this... I hope you're safe and sound at home? Relaxing?

Thank you ! Surgery isn't until Tuesday.
That is when it is booked for - but I maybe threw a bit of a wrench into the machinery today. I am thinking I would like an MRI before anything else happens. I thought that the first time - but everything happened so quickly - and the surgeon was off for the week before the surgery (spring break) so I let it go thinking the worse that would happen is a second surgery so to save my sanity I just stopped thinking about it. But here I am heading into a second surgery without an MRI and that is what keeps me up at night. Feeling that something is amiss and not doing anything about it.
At the preop yesterday a conversation with a nurse nudged me to push on this - so I am. I would so prefer to just trust...but I don't think that is going to happen.
It doesn't help (or maybe it really does) that I do a lot of work with doctors/CVs/journals and have learned to source and read them well. Everything I read says an MRI is required to fully understand the extent of this type of cancer BEFORE SURGERY. Especially since this surgeon is recommending breast conserving surgery rather than a full mastectomy.
At this point he is just guessing where the cancer is exactly. He has been doing this for 28 years - but that only makes it an educated gues. His first guess was wrong. He should put his ego aside and take a peak before he goes in again.
Measure twice cut ONCE!
I want what Yooly said. To get this all behind me. Not to dilly dally around taking bits here and there at whim 2 -
And no. This didn't change my eating yesterday - not at all!2
-
Woah! My pants are flaming 2
-
And no. What I ate didn't clarify the MRI situation - but it did mute the screaming noises in my brain for a little while - long enough to get to sleep.
Much research is necessary on how to do that without food/alcohol/cigarettes. During the day it would be a walk. Once it gets dark I have no tricks up my sleeve.
Ideas??????2 -
When the night time craziness came for me, I worked on on a complicated knitting project that fully occupied my brain.
Maybe a a painting Laurie? Something/someone you love? Lots of detail?1
