It’s been an interesting week. On my medical note I finally got the results of my biopsy and they came back benign. I was elated! So I tried quitting the antidepressant/anxiety medicine they put me on, and I became extremely sick. Nausea vomiting, shaking, hot flashes, so I went back on it. Guess I’ll just stay on it till I go back 5/11. I just hate being on any type of medication.
There were so many questions I forgot to ask when I was in with my oncologist because I was so emotional. The main one is when can I get my port out? I think for the moment they aren’t doing any unnecessary procedures. We had to wait in the car for them to come out and get us when they were ready for us. Then they escorted us straight in to the room to see the doctor. They are doing an excellent job at social distancing there.
On the home front, towards the end of the week Wayne and I are doing nothing but arguing again and I’m not sure we will make it much longer. I love him dearly but I’m tired of him treating me the way he does. I deserve better.
At work they are trying to do a better job of social distancing, but people around here just don’t listen. I saw in the news that Harrisonburg ranks worst in the state for following social distancing guidelines. They based this data off of cell phone pings in the area.
I hope everyone is staying safe and things are going well!

@pacsnc6 Attitude is everything! They told me this when I first started treatment and I whole heartedly agree! I had my days when I felt bad, but I never let it get me down during treatment! I’ve always been grateful just to be here another day! They told me my smile was infectious, so I tried to maintain that positivity throughout and bring a little joy whenever I could! Stay strong and if you ever need to talk just holler!

@sleepymom5 You, Jim, and your family are in my thoughts and prayers! I hope everything is going well!
@ EVERYONE with dog pics! I absolutely love them! They are all so adorable!
@tryingagain5 your workouts look brutal! I am absolutely in awe! Great work!
@nstephenson01 I’m glad you came back, and that your husband made it home safely!
@KUMEcyclingteam you are hilarious! I loved the horse on the turkey pie. Your mom is lucky to have you!

@timibotkin I live in Harrisonburg. My daughter just showed me that report. People are not taking it seriously yet as much as they should. My job is classified essential so I have to report to work. Starting Monday we will receive hazard pay. That’s awesome but not really if you or your loved one lose their life.
I was so relieved to hear about your results. Hang in there. Relationships are not always easy especially when your dealing with health issues as well. Hugs to you.
@Cafelelia let me know what extra help you might need. Thank you so much for all that you do!

@phoebe112476 welcome back! You have done a great job keeping your weight in check. For me my goal weight is 142. That’s right at my healthy BMI. I sometimes think it would be great to drop 5 below that but my clothes start looking a bit too loose. I have gotten down to 138-139 and yes that was fun. But I’m such a foodie that it’s hard for me to maintain. Sorry to hear about the health issues with your family.

@phoebe112476 I can’t imagine what you’re going through. You sound like a very loving and dedicated mother. I wish you all health and happiness. I’ve always been a person who lives by routines and lately I don’t even know what day of the week it is.

@sleepymom5 My heart goes out to you and your whole family, especially Jim. I'm so sorry to hear this and sending positivity and prayers your way. xo

@phoebe112476 I am blown away by your courage and strength. You probably don't feel courageous and strong, just that you are doing all the things that need doing, but you are keeping a lot of people protected and loved. I think it must be your name! My daughter is a Phoebe as well, and she is also made of seriously strong stuff. The hardest thing right now is that you can't easily ask for help. But everyone here, and many others I am sure, will do anything we can to keep up your spirits, remind you to sit down and take 5 deep breaths a few times a day, and let you know that you are amazing.

Steps - I think I posted a few days at the start of the week but I can't remember which days, so I'll just put them all here. Pitiful week with working from home and being on lockdown.
