Hi, I am okay and trying to concentrate on myself. Judy is good and her daughter is taking care of her. My husband and I got in our little pool again tonight, I only have until Monday untill I get my pic inserted. I wasn't suppose to get in my pool , but I had waterproof bandaids to protect my markings for radiation. He is worried about me getting sick, since I catch colds easily, and my immune system, will be compromised. That came out of nowhere, I am not even thinking about that. He is worried about me going to the nursing home since my sister is on antiboitics, even though I haven't started treatment yet. Maybe I need to be smart and not risk it. All is good right now just some anxiety about everything getting started Monday with the pic, Tuesday radiation and Wed. both. Janice

Hi everyone. It's been crazy here............. Why do I always say that? Hmmmmmm. Maybe because that is normal in my house.......... So my hubby just bought a 36 foot fishing boat. They left last Friday from Cordova Alaska and arrived here on Tuesday morning at 5:45 am. They had a great ride until the last 10 hours. Then it got a little choppy but they arrived safe and sound. I have been down on the boat helping them clean it out all week. Today is a "rest day" for me because I have been logging over 4 miles a day since Tuesday. Hauling stuff up from the boat. On the boat. Off the boat. Up the steps. Down the steps. Up the ramp at low tide. Down the ramp at low tide. And repeat. We did that for 3 days. I'm beat. Then on Thursday they had to clean the hull of the boat. So they put the boat on a grid that when the tide is out the boat is high and dry. Has to go oat high tide and off again at high tide. The boat is on the grid for 12 hours. With that in mind they would miss dinner. Luckily the weather was nice so what I did was I made a mincemeat pie, barbecued lemon pepper rib eye steaks, and a salad. I packed them into therma, bags and took them down to the boat. My hubby tossed me a rope and I tied the bags onto the end and we dropped the bags down to the boat. Then I climbed down the ladde 20 feet to the boat and we had dinner. When we were done I climbed back up the ladder and then he tossed the rope back up and I hoisted the bags back up. It was a great dinner. The guys just laughed about the fact I brought a full dinner down to them.

Morning, friends!

Janice...thoughts and prayers are with you today and this week as you begin treatments.

Marie...hope you continue to recover.

A big hello to the rest of you misfits! Hot on the horizon today. I have lots of errands to run this morning so will not do the pool. Hope you all make it a great day. I am going to figure out a way to get this weight moving again...probably need to change my menu.

Stay strong!
Connie

hi everyone!

janice, glad to hear the week went as well as possible. just try to keep taking good care of you!!

connie, let me know your new menu, maybe i will be having one of those as well. i think i may be recomping a bit as people keep telling me i look leaner but the damn scale hasn't told me that at all.

shirley glad you are back and back at it!

marie hope you are well!

ester, hi hope summer is great!

i guess this is the month of female issues. i went to doc and have two large fibroid tumors growing:( they are causing me a little discomfort and my doc can feel them through my stomach. we are going to watch them for a bit and see what happens. hopefully they will stabilize and then menopause will kick in and they will stop growing. will continue monitoring them. one is behind my uterus and pushing it forward. extremely hard to remove and could cause a lot of bleeding. i am just going to sit tight.

have a great week everyone!

stephanie

Janice thinking about you today.
Steph hope everything stabilizes.
Connie, new menu is what I need for sure. I'm still hovering around my new low but can't seem to get far away from it.

We've only had 3 days this summer below 90 and it is getting old. We have had a couple of days recently with lots of rain which has been very welcomed.

2 weeks before school starts back. Soccer training is this week though and it's a hot one. Wish they'd give them more water breaks.

Keep at it!!

Janice, I'm thinking of you today

Hi, I am back from radiation, it went pretty quickly. I have a parking pass that put me right at the door of my building and the office is on that level. I just walked in and around the corner and into the office. It took about 40 minutes in all for the first time to get set up, radiation and me to get in my gown. I decided to come home instead of staying out in that end of town waiting for my app. for my pic, to be inserted at 4:30. I am so glad I did. I have already put some laundry away, brought in my garbage cans, and some other things, plus ate my lunch. I have just been relaxing since lunch. I just wanted to tell everyone, I am good. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Janice

Well, I spoke to soon getting the pic was horrible, let's just everything that could go wrong happened, plus I had an allergic reaction to lidocaine and broke out in welps everywhere, so they had to call Dr. and of course they were closed and had to wait for on call Dr . to call in steroids and benadryl, so she could help me. Plus lots more. I didn't get home until 8:20 and was lucky I was able to drive myself home.At one point, I thought I was going to have to call someone to pick me up. I am destressing but have to be back at eadiation at 7:45, then my first chemo starts at 9:30, it's suppose to last 6 hours. Hopefully tomorrow is better. Janice

Hi everyone,

Janice, So sorry you are having so many frustrating things happen. Hope things smoothe out soon.

I am having a vertigo event. Been in bed since Monday. Really worn out with it.
Guess I might lose a pound since I have no
desire for food.
