WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MARCH 2022

Pip - hope surgery was successful

Allie - maybe Carmine has the wrong therapist. I hope they change their tune soon towards family. One day they will learn how important family is.

Annie - it seems your Mother’s doctors may be catching on to your Mom’s decline. There may need to be some very tough choices to be made soon. I don’t envy you. I remember how difficult it was talking to my Mom when she thought she was still fine, but really wasn’t.
There are so many terrible diseases that plague us as humans, but I truly think Alzheimer’s and dementia is one of the worse on families and loved ones to deal with.

There is more that I wanted to comment on but haven’t taken notes. I am still struggling through the payroll issues so have been unplugging in the evenings. I’ve made some mugs, I think maybe I need a colouring book.
The gnomes and hippie van are for me, the frog is for DH. Mugs are hard to get pictures of all sides at once.

Off to ceramics.
Snowing heavily again, supposed to continue for another 24 hours.

I don't think so. Jmkmom's name was Joyce, so I think that's who Allie is talking about.

I'm here. Overwhelmed and overtired. Work is absolutely crazy, as it seems to be in a lot of places.

I've finished my three weeks of radiation to the chest wall, and I am sore! The nurse said my skin would continue to burn for another 10 days or so, then it should begin healing.

I am scheduled for an MRI of my cervical spine and thoracic spine, where the cancer has landed, in two weeks. I see the radiation oncologist in a month, and we will create a radiation treatment plan for those spots.

In the meantime, I continue on Ibrance and Letrozole, and not doing too bad. I got very sick from the Zometa shot, but it lasted only 24 hours or so, and I was fine.

Other than that . . . I've gained 5 pounds, but that was expected with the letrozole. I am still very disappointed, and I am doing what I can, but it's still frustrating. Getting only 3000-5000 steps a day because by time I get home and get dinner finished, I am beat, and usually in bed by 7:00, asleep by 9:00 or 10:00. Not like me.

I've been reading along and celebrating and mourning with you. Praying for those of you with health or mental issues to deal with, either your own or your loved one's.

Take care.
