    Had chemo today. It is every week now, but doesn't take as long each time. The only side effects I have had from this drug is feeling really tired in the afternoons. And the day of the chemo my blood sugars go up some and I take insulin just for the day.

    My sweet Ralph takes such good care of me. He never complains about all the doctor vistis he takes me to (can you believe that I never learned to drive? :blushing: ), and the pharmacy runs he makes, not to mention the expense, and generally putting up with me. What a guy!!!

    God Bless all of you. God Bless.

    Irene. Good to hear from you. You have a wonderful husband. i know he loves taking care of you. My Jerry actually like me to be depentant on him I think. But I hated losing my indpenent. I am so used to going when I want to and now I have to wait till he is ready. He has been taking me to walmart every Monday for a couple hours. Leaving me and come back and get me. I make sure I have a good meal before we leave so i want have to worry about a low blood sugar. But I still have my car. Just incase I have to drive somewhere.For some resons i just can't give it up yet Tho Its been at least 2 years since I have driven it. I don't think any of my family would ride with me driving tho.

    How long will you be taking this chemo.? I am glad it is not bothering you.. I want to hear some more stories about Alaska.Take care of yourself. Sending a big hug to you:heart:

    I got to get to know Susan and Monica., My mind is a complete blank.

    Hi everyone. The nighthawk is reporting in. We have had a pretty good day today. To my knowledge Neil has had only one seizure and the stimulator has been off all day. I will turn it on for a few minutes before he goes to bed which will be very soon. Hopefully we get some useful information tomorrow. Thais to you all for your support.

    Irene -- hope you had a restful afternoon. I am so hopeful for you.

    Jeri -- how are you today?

    Marie -- Jerry is a wonderful partner for you. How has his throat been?

    Barbie -- you are a busy gal. You will be so glad to get settled and have a place to call home. I really appreciate your thoughtful and kind words.

    Buzz -- be careful in that heat and humidity.

    Time to get Neil off to bed. I will let you know what happens at the Dr. tomorrow.

    Take care and keep smiling. Gayla :heart:

    Morning Ladies:

    Another weekend of boating coming up. Boat is ready and now all I
    have to do is make a dish to pass for Saturday night and pack some
    clothes. Weather looks great so far. Dave will be putting ice in the
    coolers on the boat to get them cold for the food. I love my new boat!!

    Lunch out today with a friend and I will be having a salad with portobello
    mushrooms instead of chicken. Yummmm!!

    My oldest daughter Kristina just got back from Costa Rica at a Spa in
    the jungle. This was a Spa with clay baths and cleansing. Raw veges and
    fruits and drinks with super foods in them. Not my kind of vacation. :tongue:
    Her long term goal is to get into Holistic medicine and Nutrition. Right now
    she works as an Event Planner for the Canadian Payroll Association. She has
    the Eastern and Western part of Canada. She does some travelling. I can't
    wait to see her pictures.
    She is the one who gets my husband and me to stay healthy and try all these new things.
    I am the one with all the health issues so she worries about me.
    But I am working on it and doing pretty good I think.

    :smile: Irene: You do have a great husband to take care of you.
    :smile: Gayla: I hope your Dr.'s report goes well for Neil.
    :smile: Phoebe: HAPPY BIRTHDAY

    Everyone have a great day !!

    Thank you for the birthday wishes! I had a great day, at home, which is my favorite place to be.
    i still check the posts here about once a week, and I hope you are all taking good care of yourselves. Be careful in the heat, or snow, if you are in NZ,right Judy?

    Hi from Saskatchewan. It was warm and sunny. There was rain around us but missed us. I have been enjoying watching the Flickers looking for worms and insects. We have 4 or 5 hanging out in the yard along with a variety of other birds, mostly robins, finches and purple martins. We also have far more dragon- flies than usual which seems to be helping with the mosquitoes.

    I think our crisis has been somewhat resolved. The x-Ray showed that the wires were still connected to the stimulator. They decreased the intensity of each stimulation and the 'shock-like' experiences seem to have mostly gone. Actually, I think they have stopped as Neil isn't reporting any. He decided it was time to move home so we packed him up and took him to his home after the appointment. He seems happy and settled. He also had a cardiogram just to rule out heart issues. He will be having an abdominal ultrasound to specifically look at his gall bladder. We are hoping for smooth sailing for awhile.

    Take care. Thanks for thoughts and prayers. You folks really are the best folks. Gayla :heart: :heart:

    Good morning sneakers,

    Becky good morning to you. hioe you get that nap in. so you can ge rested up

    Phoebe your veggies supper sounds so good. Sounds beter than any resturamt meal/. Sunfay when Alice and if went out to eat i has pinto beans, blackeyes peas, sweetpotatoes ,brocolli and cabbage. an I had the worst case of gas I have ever had. My beans don' give me gas but That was a lot of fiber for one meal.

    Today is our grocer store day. so Walmart here we come.There fabric dept should be ready today. It has taken them 2 weeks to get it ready.

    We have gone 25 days stright over 100 degrees here Monday it reach 106. This is the senond hottest on record here in our area. 1980 was the hottest ever recorded. They don't seems to think we will beat that for it had 69 days strieght days over 100.Back in 1980 we did not have central A/C.But we were both working and wasn't home all day. We did have a window unit in our bedroom and den, We still have a window unit in our bedroom We used it at night and turn the central a/C off

    Barbiecat you keep an eye on Jake and don't let him over do himself. On this moving. glad he got some help line up.

    Sandy. You have really been ejoying your new Casino.Thats good. we have to drive 2 hours to get to one in Okla. and 3 hours to get to La.

    Connie I do beliebe you live in the capital of bugs land. We have lost all off our garden. We are trying to keep our new blackberry vines alive. so far so good. We are hoping a hurrican will hit the gulf to bring some mositure up our way, But not a big one.to do any damaged.We will settle for a tropital storm.They just say today high will be 105 and hotter next week.

    stay cool everyone.

    This one is for Jake:

    A Touching Golf Story

    Dave stood over his tee shot on the 450 yard 18th hole for what seemed an eternity.

    He waggled, looked up, looked down, waggled again, but didn't start his back swing.

    Finally his exasperated partner Ray asked,
    "What the heck is taking so long?"

    "My wife is watching me from the clubhouse balcony,' Dave explained. 'I want to make a perfect shot."

    His companion Ray said, "You don't have a chance in hell of hitting her from here."
