Hi, quick note, the echocardiogram went smoothly although I came home and slept, and slept, I guess it took more out of me than I realized. I got the full report and everything is normal, good heart and no fluid. My conclusion is that the symptoms I felt is from the new chemo drug. I have CT scan Monday and get the results…

Oh, once I posted, it looks like the URL did turn into a link.

Thank you Isabella, I'll keep that eye drop info for later, after I'm done with the Rx eye drops and chemo. Right now, I'm following the doctor's orders. Plus, a lot will change when I'm off of chemo for awhile. I also meant to tell you that I expect the neuropathy to disappear after chemo as well. When I had super bad…

Good morning. I had a week completely different than how I had planned it. Last Sunday morning, it started snowing, just flurries that didn't stick. By afternoon, it started sticking and soon the ground was all white and building up. It was beautiful to look at Monday morning, but not practical for me to go anywhere. The…

Good afternoon, I had chemo last Wednesday and have now slept most of the last couple days. I have the anti-nausea meds just right, so now I don't have that problem anymore. The neuropathy is still the lasting side effect that I'm dealing with. I received the machine that massages my hand and it feels good, however, I…

Good morning. Another busy week coming up. PT and eye appointment and chemo treatment. I had planned to get back to Sunday services at church, but just haven't pushed myself yet. I know that I'll enjoy that fellowship once I start it again. I plan to attend my friend Carol's church, she and her husband are very happy…

Good morning, I've had a very busy week and I feel it. Tuesday of last week I was very short of breath at PT and my therapist insisted that I call the cardiologist right away. My oncologist had mentioned that he wanted another echocardiogram in December to go with my next CT scan. I feel the same as when the fluid was…

Good morning, Debora and Isabella and Tammy. It's been so long since I've been here, so sorry about that. Thank you for the cards and notes I got in the mail, that meant so much. I have felt your thoughts and prayers and support through this last year, it's been a tough one. However, God has still blessed in many ways.…

Good afternoon, I stopped by here before fixing my lunch. I keep thinking that I should start logging all my food again, but haven't quite gotten to that point yet. After I eat, I head back to sleep and don't log. Wednesday chemo went smoothly and as soon as I got home (was gone 9 am til 3 pm) I had some soup and went to…

Good Morning All, as you already know, I have not checked in regularly as I had hoped. Still trust I can remedy that, if I just take a moment each day... I'm still sleeping, A LOT, if I'm not asleep, I'm thinking of going to sleep, ha ha I am loving Spring, I think I appreciate it more this year than ever before. I had a…

Good afternoon ladies. Big change of plans today, I had planned to visit John this afternoon, but discovered our oldest llama, Beauty, was dead in the stall and I needed to call the rendering guy to come pick her up. He just left. Beauty turned twenty years old last month, that is on the very old end of a llama lifespan.…

Good afternoon, I'm still sleeping most of the time. I thought that once John was settled elsewhere, I'd have the chance to get back to attending church, but I slept through it this morning. Maybe next week. I fixed some late lunch and am ready to go back to bed again, or sit in my recliner and doze off. Very indulgent,…

Good Morning. It's been a tough year but God has still blessed and big changes have happened. John declined so much that he was taking 100% of my time and energy over the last 9 months, even with caregivers coming in twice a week. With no sleep and a lot of stress over John, my last scan was not good and I'm back to…

Hi Isabella and Debora. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Even when you don't know all the details, I know you are supporting me and the Lord continues to Bless. I've been in the hospital for a week (Mon-Fri) and recovering at home now. Norma sent a few email updates while she was here and since I'm not feeling up…

Good Evening, I'm popping in late because my computer is working right now and I can't trust it to wait til morning. Plus, mornings are not the same anymore, I simply don't have that nice routine that I had for years. I was a zombie for weeks, no sleep hardly at all. Then, I hit on a solution for part of the problem. John…

Happy Thanksgiving. Norma got home safe and sound and already booked her flight to return in January for my eye surgeries. I am so thankful that her John is willing to share her with me. John and I had our turkey dinner yesterday. We don't have to necessarily celebrate on any given day and yesterday morning worked out…
-
Good Morning. I finally had the chance to finish my email update and get those sent. It sure took me long enough, I think I started at least 2 weeks ago. So many interruptions, plus with brain fog, I can't string 2 thoughts together. Norma's in the shower and we will take her to the airport in 3 hours. Plans change at the…

Good Morning, another rainy morning. John has gotten up about 4 different times this morning, looked out the window and went back to bed. This is beginning to be the morning habit. I tried to watch the last segment of Breaking Up with Exhaustion, it's on how important sleep is. Well, nothing new here...I KNOW how important…

I have no idea what was going on earlier, but it appears to be fixed. I emailed you my comment, but I'll post it here again anyway. Plus, I'll see if it will allow my photos now too. Good Morning. John went back to bed so I have a little time. I have such mixed feelings about that...I relish the few moments I get to…

This is a test to see if MFP will allow me to post this.

Good Morning. Got a good night's sleep last night, that happens very seldom these days, next to never! John wanders through the house at night and if I happen to sleep through it, he will shake me awake to "make sure I'm breathing". Last night, he stayed in bed and did not wake me to "make sure I'm alive". yay! One of my…

Good Afternoon, came in to fix lunch and thought that if I don't at least pop in to say "hi", another day will pass without coming by here. My mornings are filled with John. Seems like the only time I get away is when I tell him I'll go in the house to start lunch and he stays outside a little longer. Debora, wow! lucky…

Good Morning Debora and Isabella, I have thought of you so many mornings, (afternoons and nights too), just so hard to get over here, but I've got to turn over a new leaf and stop in more often. I need you both. I can't believe it's been so long, another 77 comments to catch up on. I still haven't caught up reading the…

Good Evening. Hi, Anew, so good to see you. I am so sorry to hear that you're still facing lots of issues, but praying that things will continue to get better. I know in my case, prayer is working miracles. Just popping in tonight because mornings seem to be impossible these days. Trying to catch up on these webinars,…

Good Afternoon, Boy, do I feel like an old woman. John and I worked outside less than 2 hours this morning, came in when it started raining, had lunch and then promptly sat in our comfy chairs and both fell asleep. Only babies and old people take naps, right? Oh, it's OK for us to dose off ? Thanks for the reassurance, now…

Good Evening. What a week I've had trying to keep up with the Fatty Liver Docu-series...which, in short, I Haven't !!!! Each episode starts at 6 pm my time which is plenty late for me. By that time of evening, I'm exhausted and ready for bed. I can not even think straight let alone having to concentrate on something and…

Good Morning, Bbbrrrrrrrr, It's Cold!! Our outside thermometer read 19 degrees this morning. All the animal waters are at least 1" thick with ice. I've been carrying buckets of hot water out to melt the ice. The jokes on me !!!!!!! As I was adding some water to a pool that had already started melting, a goose decided to…
