Sheesh - great job and good news from the doc! And I agree - keep going with the trainer. Be careful with the jumping and dancing. I'm still wary since rupturing my Achilles while dancing/jumping. I love having thanksgiving at home and the fall decorations. The only reason we're jumping on Christmas is because we will be…

Oh Sarah I feel for you and truly wish I could do something to assist. I like the idea of getting into another facility. Two of my friends/colleagues are going through some and they each had a "liaison" who was handling their appointments. SO I truly hope you get somewhere where the service, treatment and responses are…

Happy Monday morning Ladies. Sarah - the uptick may just be your body holding onto everything with the stress you're feeling about your treatment plans. Plus extra sugar - but that's just my thoughts. I know it's easier to say when it's not you, but I agree with the radiologist... :wink: And then I do the same thing, so…

Oh my goodness. Returned from my Cali trip - EXHAUSTED doesn't define it - not even close. LOL. Drove to Oceanside Thursday morning. Got there early afternoon. Had lunch and checked into the hotel. Got a little settled then explored how to find the hotel my friends were staying. So super easy to find. Back to hotel to rest…

Good morning everyone. Sorry - Life has been crazy busy this past week. I thought I had posted something last week, but alas, I see nothing. Saw the doc yesterday for my toe. It's healing. Still feels like something is healing or there, but he's assured me I'm healing and healing well. Our weather jumped from 95-100 to the…

Sheesh - enjoy your family!!!! Chef was here. Balsamic Salmon, sweet potatoes and zucchini for lunch, and some chicken salad (no bread) for dinner. And I LOVE the Cheesecake Factory steak medallions Delicious. My toe is healing, but not quite ready to walk in sneakers or too far in flip flops. So I'm holding tough and…

Good morning ladies! Sarah - hang tough. Stage 0 is good...remember that. Sheesh, they had me stop all calcium and vitamin d before I did my dexa. The docs office called last night to say they are normal. So yay again. I had one done in 2021 I think. I've been doing them since age 40 due to the amount of steroids…

OK. So I had my mammogram and dexa this morning. Mammo results just received - all good. I am anticipating Dexa to be fine as well. Toe is healing...itching is a positive sign I believe. Sheesh and Sarah - keeping the prayers going for more positive news on both of your fronts!!
-
OMG. Of course we have the gorgeous weather while I'm recovering with my toe!!! We were in the 70's and now.....back to the 90's!!!! UGH. Anyhow, I did get a sock/shoe on my foot on Saturday. We brought the wheelchair and scooter just in case. Since Rhea was only good for a few hours. So just when I was ready to send hubby…
-
So glad to hear from everyone. Sarah - breathe!! Results will be known soon. And I'm sure they will all be good! I'm keeping the prayers and thoughts for that. So my toe is feeling SO MUCH better today. Refreshing the neosporin and bandaid whenever the toe begins to itch. So I'm ok with that. I did meet with my new primary…

Great job Sarah!!! Especially when you're limited on activity etc. Keep it up. Sheesh - Great job on your reduction - and with your trainer being out. I agree, somehow the trainers really get you to push yourself. And I agree, aren't these follow ups fun!!! WOOT WOOT party time. So my toe - yes, I cried when he injected…
-
Sarah - hoping your recovery is still going smoothly and the pain is reducing. I've told you from your pictures that you don't need a facelift. You know that would require needles - YUCK!!! Anyhow it sounds like you're in good spirits and headed in the right direction. Find a good book and escape until you're able to move…
-
Sarah - super great news! Glad you're home and pain is tolerable. Keep calm for just a little longer...you'll be working out before you know it. Sheesh!! WOW!! Great job and focus!!! I think I found yours....lol Upstairs AC is replaced. Arrived before 9 and was done close to 1. Upstairs is now 78! WOOT WOOT (was 87 when…
-
Praying for a quick and successful procedure and speedy recovery Sarah!!!! You've got this! We're here for you! Happy early birthday Kelly - Tuesdays are my check in days - I don't always see them until later in the morning. So happy early celebrations. Hoping you all had good news from your daughter's doc visit. Thinking…

Happy Monday morning ladies. Super busy weekend. Friday took 12 yo granddaughter and her mom to the movies - we watched Hocus Pocus to get us ready for Halloween. Yes, we've all seen it so many times, but it was still fun. My grandson had his homecoming game Friday night, so after dinner we headed to his game. They kicked…
-
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY SHEESH!!! Honestly, I DID remember, it's the same day as our anniversary so I can't forget. I just took all day Friday off and made myself stay off the computer all day... I was too concerned that I would end up "just checking on this one thing for work - and then time suck the day away on work when…
-
Happy Thursday ladies. Sheesh - Enjoy the small achievements. ALL of your pictures look amazing. I love to hike solo as well.. hopefully you had shared your location on your phone/watch and alerted someone you were heading out that way solo. I am all for solo hikes, but I agreed with the family I would share location and…
-
WOW so much activity. Forgive me if I missed responding to something. Sarah - I get your frustration and we have the same impact to scheduling here as well. Hard to get dermatology vision and dental appts in these last few months of the year. I'll keep you in my prayers that you get a date sooner rather than later.…
-
Kelly - good news on your mother in law. My ma was also one to not give up smoking. Even after losing 3/4's of her right lung to lung cancer. She was still smoking the day before she passed. Nicotine is some addiction - that's for sure. This was in 1992 and patches were not really that popular yet. Great news her sister is…
-
Congrats Sarah!!! WAY TO GO!!! Starting to feel a little better - finally! Still a bit fatigued but otherwise feeling better from my sinus infection. Good news - our weather is FINALLY dipping below 100! Had a company meeting yesterday that involved me being in far north Scottsdale at 8am for a company photo shoot. Oh…
-
Sarah - I'm with you. If I wait too long to eat, that's exactly what happens. You snack and then eat more at meal time still...then I end up with a tummy ache to boot. Kelly - fortunately, we did not have to deal with a smoker. Unsure what you'll be up against with that. Maybe the patches as Sarah is suggesting. Also good…
-
Oh Kelly - I feel for you. We were in that position a few years ago with my mom (not my MIL). She had fallen in the bath room and it wasn't until my sister had stopped by for a planned visit. Mom was even wearing a button to press for help and she didn't. My sister pressed it and then instructed them to call my other…
-
Happy Wednesday ladies. Great job Sheesh. and yes, I need a putter that guarantees the ball finds that hole in the ground. LOL Good luck. Hopefully hubby will catches the hints. So following my dinner with the sisters, I came home with what I thought was allergies. Head was stuffy, nose drippy and eyes watering. After…
-
Oh man Kelly. What you are experiencing is the worst part of parenthood. Seriously. Punishing our kids feels like we're punishing ourselves and harder. And all of our kids did wonky things as teenagers. Heck, hubby and did some stupid things as teens as well (heck I got pregnant at 17 - though I count that as a blessing).…
-
Kelly - that completely stinks about your son. And correct, a minor is not allowed to sign any legal document without the presence of a parent/guardian. So bizarre of his prior employer. and I'm sure Ella will recover quickly and be stronger after her surgery. It stinks that she will miss the hockey season and I understand…
-
WOW.... you gals are so encouraging. Sarah - I will keep you in my prayers. I have to agree with the doc that it's best to get the biopsy and KNOW what it is... Hoping your hubby is feeling better as well. Kelly - So bummed for your daughter's results. Fortunately, I believe your daughter has the gusto to get through the…
-
Oh my goodness - she's ADORABLE!!! I am so impressed by your movement!! I'm wrapping up work in the next hour and then focusing on laundry and then final pack. Tomorrow's pretty busy too before we head out. But then we'll be at the House of Mouse and enjoying time with our granddaughter. I'm allowed to post a pic or two of…
-
Oh my goodness. Had PT this am. They increased my weights and added new exercises and YIKES. It's been a couple of hours and my legs are still a bit quivery. Hubby did get an rx for antibiotic and some other drops. Apparently he does have a stye, but it's also infected. Good grief. How does this happen. It's still very…
-
Sorry Ladies, Sheesh - so happy you had some daughter/granddaughter time. Glad you enjoyed your time and hubby had a successful trip. I think we're alike in that the time hubby is away goes very quickly. Sarah - I can completely relate to your travel times. That was how it was when I had to travel back to Cali to take care…
-
Sarah - have a safe trip and I hope all goes well. With regard to the long-term care - I never added that to my AFLAC arsenal - due to the exorbitant costs. So I can understand. Maybe that's something I should add when I retire and can discontinue the disability coverage. And yes, and the cost of all policies and items in…
