how about drinking?

Rainy morning here today. No real plans to do anything! I finished the Netflix series about the Central Park 5. Very moving and upsetting, but I highly recommend watching it. My son and his wife came for dinner last night and told many stories about their trip. Things were great until the last day when they “hurried” up and down mountains to get to the airport in Lima. DIL’s asthma started acting up. Their flight was delayed and they were four hours late getting home. Other than that it was a great trip with lots to see.
Went to see my surgeon yesterday. He is the head of the tumor board and agrees that I could get a lumpectomy. I scheduled another breast MRI (ugh!) for Friday. We will probably do the surgery in July. The surgeon said there is no data to prove this action will change the outcome of my disease. That being said there is no data to prove it doesn’t change the outcome or helps lengthen the OS. I just want to do something!
Everyone have a great Hump Day! Pats to Sadie. Lori - drink the water and rest while waiting for test results. Good travels to those visiting other places. Enjoy your adult beverage sensibly. Or NOT as suits your fancy. 🥳 And keep those cat pics coming!!!!

Glad you're feeling better, Lori! Although I have lost 3lbs. the first week of this nearly-keto diet, I hereby volunteer my services as a fat donor!
Cami, I've got some stuff on CDBaby.com, Souncloud, Broadjam, and my own site (sandyandina.com) that's streamable. Got a few up on YouTube under the account "folkiefoodie" and my singing partner's account "Old Yodeler." (The iTunes Store in Apple Music is still selling downloads, I think, for a few months, and Amazon & Rhapsody still sell them--if you feel like buying any tracks). On CDBaby, Soundcloud, & Broadjam, look for Andina & Rich, Sandy Andina, and (my previous duo) SASS! (Not shouting, that's how we spellled it--caps, exclamation point & all). I might be on Spotify (I didn't apply, but a fan might have posted one or two cuts there; didn't apply for Pandora). Might try to figure out how to post a link or two for listening.
Oh and I didn't lose my voice--just got a tad hoarse, but by the time I got home it felt like I had a good vocal warmup!
Took a look at the menu for the Tyrolean wine dinner--I can eat around or pack a lot of stuff (like the polenta, spaetzle, and the Sacher torte & whipped cream) and just have the mini-dumplings (the cheese will partly offset the flour, a la The Zone) and the broth they're in, the trout & red cabbage first course, the spinach/eggplant/mushroom/ricotta from the strudel, duck breast with mushroom ragout & rocket (arugula), and the blackberries accompanying the Sacher torte--but I bet they can just give me a dish of berries. Keeping with the theme of this thread, turns out all the wines will be dry (they're serving a sparkler for dessert). It's not the meat that would be the problem, just the sugar & starch. Not enough flour or cornstarch in the sauces to get worked up about.
Gordy & Leslie are completing their move on Mon. Carrie & I will ride (or follow) along to make sure the surplus furniture gets to where it needs to go. Wed., I will probably look around and see what more stuff they need. (He's leaving behind his tiny microwave and the cheap flatware from Target--it's more than we need. Leslie has a full-size Keurig, so I'll take back the mini for travel use. I'm giving them my old Cuisinart--with accessories. They don't want an espresso machine or grinder). Oh, and they probably don't want a wine rack...unless I outfit it

Layover in Charlotte, NC. This is a Dragonberry (Bacardi dragonberry rum, berries, lemonade and sprite)
-
Oooh, nice drink, Ilona! (Charlotte Airport has a killer BBQ kiosk).
-
What a lonely lounge!
Illimae, not only a pretty drink, but looks so refreshing. I think you are on your way to Maine? Where abouts are you going?
Sandy, I'll pass on the gift of fat, mine is returning home just fine!
Well, I had posted how darn good I was feeling the day after I got home from the hospital, unfortunately it goes down hill a bit each day. Hoping to get results on the hepatitis today.

First is Vermont for a few days, then Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. We were booked at some cute cabins but the bed was way too hard, so off to someplace closer to our niece.

Mornin' ladies,
Well I was happily reading ur post Lori, then I just saw the last one. I too hope u get ur results too, but they're good. Remember when I had a cold and ended up in the hospital <the last one I had> and took about 4 weeks til I actually was better and had all those stupid tests. All I mean is everything we seem to get lasts forever with a lot of symptoms showing all kinds of things. Maybe that's what's happening to u. Well just let us know ASAP when u find out.
Illi thanks for the heads up on the tamoxifen, she's been on it for almost a yr. now and it just keeps getting worse it's all with her bones <mostly legs> and yes she also has hot flashes. She switched her PC to mine and is so happy cuz she does listen to her and did tell her she would talk to her onc. about it too. I'll tell Leslie too, she has had so many complications with everything as u gals know and I thought maybe someone else could have an idea to at least help her on this. Oh the drink looks yummy.
OK I'm back, oh u don't know that tho silly me
Thanks Sandy for ur info. It was just that I was thinking why haven't we ever heard u sing. By that I mean if it were me u gals would be overloaded with my tone of my tunes, And with all u do it would be enjoyable to hear u.
JC I'm glad to hear ur going to get this over with soon. And by now any test is ugh <to me anyway>. Good ur son had a great tme on their trip, but there usually is a bump in most trips.
Lori sometimes a DIL can get touchy as u know, but i honestly said would anyone would. When Joey started to break out, Leslie mixed up a batch of whatever she does that she learned and it helped Joey a lot.. And it's just to bad the especially that age kids get bullied for any reason it seems. Joey and I have talked about this and he's the one that if he hears something he steps in. Sounds noble, but I don't know if I like that either, who knows who's going to go back at him. U just can't win.
OK SANDY move in date established for Gordy and Leslie, it's so exciting to hear this. Wishing them luck
I miss Jazzy and more of course.

Morning all! I had a 'horrible, terrible' day yesterday - was watching the 4 and almost 2 year old grands and sweet Haddley (2 ish) was standing on a chair and flipped over crushing her middle finger - arghh, so off to emergency where they had to freeze it then burn through so that the blood gushed out, then xray to show a fractured tip...so far she is fine now, but not sure that I am...then I go to the Cancer Center Pharm to get my overdue Ibrance and the doctor has not yet called it in, even though my message said to call if it was NOT going to be ready
Well they took pity and called Doctor and after a wait they filled it for me. My neutrophils are always low, do dose just dropped to 100 and still did not reach the magical 1.0 at 1 week off. Today is gray and cloudy - just the way I am feeling 
(I'll get over it soon)JCS - go with your feelings on surgery, at stage 4 the outcome probably not changing, BUT if it makes us feel better, then go for it!!
goldie - I know, just visualizing my parents gets me roling my eyes but dad does really well! And we did get outside to enjoy the merlot - today it is gray and chilly, kind of like my current mood.
chi - the Tyrolean meal sounds fabulous, we have nothing here that comes close to some of the eateries you describe, and my el cheapo DH would squawk anyway
illi - enjoy New England, my favorite summertime place in the U>S> that drink sure looks yummy!
Going to do my running around now before the energy runs out. Hello to all of you I have missed... Cheers!

Goldie – I hope you are feeling better now.You sure are suffering with…whateveryou have.I sure don't want it!
NM – I think that Sadie will be in her glory going to work with you, she will get so much attention.It's great to have you and ChiSandy on here we get such interesting medical advice.
ChiSandy – I love reading about your travels and the food (I really like food).I pulled up your web site, but I am at work so didn't listen to you singing.That was such a great picture you have on it.
JCS- Your father sounds like such a lovely person.
Jazzy – Love the picture of the balloon.I looked at some vacation tours in the western US, I always wanted to go out west.Now that my husband is gone, I thought one of the tour groups would be a great choice for me.One of the tours I read about was going to New Mexico to see the hot air balloons.
Janky – I sometimes feel like I am busy all day and at the end surprised I didn't get more done.I hope you and your friend enjoyed the new wine you found.
Cami – you stay busy all the time, it's great that you have people stopping by all the time.I hope that Leslie feels better soon.She sure has gone through a lot.
Illimae- That drink looked and sounded so refreshing!Enjoy your trip to New England,it is so pretty.
Hi Happy.
I am staying busy with work and home and doing a lot of clearing out clutter.I am thinking about taking a week off and flying to upstate NY and see family there.

Dotd

It's me again, just poopin in 1st to see if Lori came back, well I didn't see anything.
Misty forget the clutter and just go to NY, the secret is wear close that kinda match the clutter and it's not so noticeable.
Jazzy is that "proof" that somehow u do have a DOTD.
JANKY OMG if that happened tooo my grandchild I would be like u hysterical, not even counting my Xanax that just slides down my throat. Then the pharm. h boy I do hate when that happens too. I think u might live closer to me than it seems, we have the same ZIGGY zip code,
Today Leslie was talking to her DH on the phone, and he was driving and started choking then she heard nothing but a huge crash. He passed out and went into a tree. Then the medic yelled in the phone what hospital they were taking him to. So her and Joey went to the ER <not knowing anything yet> well he was awake but they have no idea why he passed out, they still have more tests to take. So they're keeping him in for more tests today. He's been healing nicely from his operation 2 weeks ago, so now this and Leslie was a wreck, I was worried she'd get in an accident. <she's the kind of driver that u don't just put a seat belt on u also use a parachute, cuz u don't know how far u will land> So another day in Ziggy Land.
LUBS U ALL

FALLING ASLEEP MEOW

Cami....awww... headin' off to lullaby land myself soon. Hope they find out what caused Leslie's DH to pass out, and that it's treatable & won't recur.
Janice, OMG, how awful to have your DGD go through that--and you having to SEE it.
Jazzy, I vaguely remember caramel frappuccinos...somewhere in a dream.
So navigating tonight's Tyrolean winemaker dinner was less of a hassle than I'd feared. I had a flute of seltzer rather than bubbly during the "schmooze" hour. Was seated with a table of neighborhood gay men, which felt right as home since I started my folksinging career in gay bars, and they actually asked the hostess to seat me with them for the next dinner (Tour de France, late July). First course's pairing was a delightful unoaked Alto Adige chardonnay--at least the bouquet was delightful, the two sips I allowed myself were "meh" (not a Chardonnay fan--though I did order 2 bottles for Bob, who is). Second wine was a Trentino bone-dry rosé (I'm always a sucker for those, so I ordered 2 bottles). Third wine was light red Alto Adige Pinot Noir, which knocked my socks off (4 bottles of that en route). Fourth was a wonderful deep, dark South Austrian red called Lagrein--the shipment for sale is in a container truck somewhere back East, so I'll know what my allotment can be sometime next week. With dessert came a light Trentino sparkler, more refined than a Prosecco. But we're swimming in bubbly down in the cellar, so didn't order any of it.
Here's the amazing thing: all the wines were $15/bottle!!!! Contrast that with the Mexican wine pairing dinner at Mas Alla del Sol down the block last fall, where the food was awesome but the wine prices astronomical: the cheapest wine, a rosé from the Baja, was $48 per bottle. It got even pricier from there--$96 for a Cabernet was what Bordeaux clarets usually cost. (So little fine wine is made in Mexico that economy of scale is impossible). Nope. We'll eat there again, but get our wines from Cellars' dinners & tastings.
Not gonna weigh myself till after the weekend. Even though I de-carbed (and no-sugared) as best I could, I did a little damage. (Portion control saved me). And Bob's getting polenta for breakfast and a big hunka Sachertorte for dessert tomorrow (if he doesn't come downstairs during the night and polish it off). Me, I'm getting my choco-fix with 2 tiny squares of Lily's sugar-free dark chocolate (1 net carb and tastes better than it has a right to). The most traumatic part was having my Invisalign out for nearly 3 hrs. (I'm obsessing over complying).

It's party time for the summer. -
-
Mornin' ladies,
Did I miss something goin on, where's Kim.
And still waiting for Lori to have some answers.
Jeez Sandy what self control u have, if somethng is in front of me it's gone. What a huge difference in prices no wonder u ordered what u did.Oh one of the times Marty fainted it was because of sodium being low so I'm wondering if they'll think of that again. I have to remind Leslie. Different Drs. and hospitals this time. It should be in the puter I guess, but u never know.
Shower day today and did my personal ordering this week so that should come today, not my usual day but it's fine with me.I forgot my oldest DD's BD yesterday so I wished her a HB in the evening around the time she was born so I reminded her the time that's why I wished it sol late. She fell for it. Of course after i gave her the usual 18 hr speech for labor. I do that every year just to bore the hell out of them.
Hoping everyone has a good end of the week day.

Janky, sorry you are having a rough time, just keep reminding yourself, this too shall pass. Hoping your little Haddley will be ok, which I'm sure she will. My DD fell down some stairs when she was like 2 and split her forehead open. I felt horrible!
Misty, I'm not sharing whatever I have, so no worries. But good see you. Make that NY trip girl!
Jazzy, surely that dotd is calorie and fat free, right?
Oh Cami, so sorry hear about Marty. I'm sure you were all frantic. Please do keep us updated. AS IF your family doesn't have enough on their plate! Sending prayers and hugs for all of you. My gosh, so scary. My MIL had a similar instance, I think she had a stroke tho, and ran into a building.
Sandy, LOL on the Schmooze hour!
As for me, each day now is getting better, instead of worse. Still running a low grade fever, no word on the blood work, so we will stop at the hospital and see if can't find out anything. Going to town for groceries, my only concern is the walking, since I've been mostly in bed or my chair. So I get tired easily. If it gets to be too much, I'll get a scooter! I created a Go Fund Me page for my DD, she is going to be struggling to get her bills paid after being out of work for so long, back in March and now.
-
Janky, so sorry to read about your DGD's accident.
Sandy, glad your dinner was easier than expected.
goldie - very glad you're feeling better.
cami - I hope Leslie's DH gets answers on what caused the accident. Yikes.
Nothing much is going on with me. Still just counting down to my BMX, bi-lat SNB, and TEs. 17 days to go until July 8, but only 10 work days. (I'll update my signature next week, after the pre-op appts confirm all systems are go.)
-
Peridot, I did not have any mx, but several off the gals here have and can offer some great advice. I know you will want things so they are east to get to, and you don't have to stretch. Perhaps a recliner to sleep in. Making pocket sort of things for your drains, just so they are not hanging and for use in the shower for when you get to that point. If neighbors offer to help, whether it be cleaning or cooking, ACCEPT. You might also want to look up Cleaning for a Reason. Free for cancer patients. But the most important is to rest and not over do it, especially if you feel you can. It will only set you back. Remind us again when surgery gets close so we can be there with you. What might you like for us to sneak into your IV?
I'm sure others will chime in with some suggestions.

So I get my frappacino with sugar free syrup but yesterday, they gave me some kind of hybrid drink (I avoid sugar as you have heard) and the caramel was a surprise. But took it anyway. Hard week and since no alcohol available at the client site, my indulgence!
-
Well deserved Jazzy!
I created a Go Fund Me page for my DD and the first donation was from one of our loungettes. Unfortunately she post here anymore. I was beyond shocked and grateful!
-
Morning from sunny Alberta - NOT! Yesterday it was down in the 30's for the first day of summer, then got super windy and poured rain, so much for my planned garage sale tomorrow. Thank you for commiserating with me - Haddley has bounced back and has not let the finger phase her, one tough cookie as they say!
misty - we really enjoyed the wine, it will be a backyard go to if it ever warms up here! Today I have absolutely nothing in my plan book, but I am sure I will find something to do - then wonder what it was
NM - I am thinking Sadie is giving you 'stink eye' with these strange hours this week? Has she let you know how she is feeling about them?! Enjoy your weekend together!
peridot - I had a uni (left) mastectomy and recovered quickly and relatively pain free, just took extra strength Tylenol for 2 days - the drain was a pain, just in the way, nothing awful at all! Definitely look into the free cleaning as it is a really wonderful program when you are recovering.
goldie - I am sending positive energy your way, I can see buzzing around on your scooter - whatever it takes girl!! Apparently we are not given more than we can handle, so ...
cami - I love those fishbowls - a great idea for a family get together as I am sure the kids will enjoy them too (without the schnapps and rum though)!
chi - Your evening sounds like it was a real blast, I can picture all those yummy tastings and it is always a treat to be surrounded by a table of fun strangers, who may become 'friends from the cellar'
...jazzy - caramel frappacino sounds and looks delicious, made my mouth waater!
illi - How's New England? If you are a fish eater, you will have lots of choices, and they will be delectable from what I remember - enjoy!
JCS - I am going to try the Central Park on netflix this weekend as the rain and chill is the forecast!
Have a great weekend everyone, I am off to see what adventures await me today. Cheers!
-
Fantastic Friday everyone! Goodness, this is a busy group!!! Families, travel, sickness, dinners, etc. So exciting to hang with an active life-loving bunch of women. Sandy-your dinner sounds delicious. Gay guys are the most fun to party with. Goldie- Glad to hear you are getting better. Hope they find out what caused the fever so it can be prevented or treated quickly in the future. So sorry to hear about all the family accidents. Good to see that people are healing and will be back to themselves soon.
My MO met with the Tumor Board and they all agreed I could get a lumpectomy and then SBRT radiation to my lung. I get to have another breast MRI this afternoon then will schedule the surgery for the week after July 4th, hopefully. I will complete this chemo cycle on June 28th and miss only about thee weeks, two of which are my normal break. Of course it is dependent on the blood work getting okayed, but things are looking good. I am pleased I was able to convince everyone to do this detour in treatment.
I took my younger son (36yrs) to chemo this morning. I want othboys to see what goes on and be somewhat comfortable so if I need them in an emergency they have an understanding of the process. He was surprised at how easy the infusion was and how friendly the people are. I hope this does not make him think, “Oh! Mother doesn’t need any help. This is really easy.” He has a tendency to over-worry so this should make him rest easier.
Supposed to be a really hot weekend here. Humidity has arrived. Had a rough storm yesterday afternoon. Trees fell all over town. One tree fell and killed a man. My son’s power was out for six hours. Hopefully that will not happen again today!

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Saturday! Got to take the car in for inspection in a bit. Been busy at work, except for yesterday.I did get some work done, but Sadie went to work withme so we spent most of the morning visiting.Sadie did so well, she only barked a couple of times, let a whole bunch of people pet and love on her and feed her treats. She figured out who had treats in their offices and whose laps she could help clean the crumbs from. I was really surprised a couple of times when we approached someone who didn't want to visit with her (one person was afraid of dogs and one person started becoming agitated) that she just calmly turned away and walked off, as if she understood. She had a great time and so did I!
Goldie--your liver enzymes could be going through the roof because you were severely dehydrated!Severe dehydration can cause a lot of liver irritation and inflammation. I hope as I ketchup that you'll have posted more and found out that everything is returning to usual for you.
Janky--I think I made up to Sadie for the weird hours by taking her to work yesterday! At least she hasn't done anything odd since we got home yesterday!
Happy--Happy belated Birthday!!!!!!!
Cammy Cat--Good Morning!
Good Morning, Illi!
Chi--Oh my dear, I feel so badly for you. No diet should run your life. I can't help but think that any diet that requires choosing between weight loss success on the diet and participating in and enjoying social activities is a set up for failure. One meal undoing a week's worth of work isn't a diet, it's insanity!IMO.What's the point of living forever on such an unforgiving diet that you can never DO anything to LIVE?
Cammy--Such a silly kitty!Poor Leslie.If she hasn't gone through menopause, Tamoxifen is pretty much all she can take unless she want to take another medication to shut her ovaries down and put her into menopause, and that is pretty rough, I can tell you from experience. She needs to talk to her docs. There are things that can be done to help. I think Sadie has forgiven me for the long days at work after getting to go to work with me yesterday. At least she isn't doing funny things like sitting with her back to me or getting me out of bed so she can get a drink at 2 ayem!
Illi--Have a great trip!!!!
Goldie--oh, dear, some people get their feelings hurt so easily. I do hope the grandson's acne clears up before school starts.School is hard enough without the bullying that kind of thing triggers. The cake looks wonderful! Have fun being Nana Lori!
Librarian--glad the son and DIL had a good trip, despite the last minute hurry up and weight! Good point that if there is no data the action will change the outcome that there is no data that it won't either, and if it makes you feel better THAT should be the deciding factor.
Chi--glad you've found a way to keep to the diet and live your life! I didn't realize you had so many songs available in so many places!Blows my mind! Congrats to Gordy and Leslie on the move!
Illi--YUM!
Goldie--sorry to hear you still aren't feeling top-notch.
Janky--oh dear, what a day! It's so hard when a little one has an accident like that.
Misty--Yup, Silly Sadie was VERY happy yesterday ayem! She's still recovering from all the attention today!
Cammy--Good Lord, what an experience!Praying for all of you!
Chi--What a great description of the winemaker dinner!Great bottle prices, too.
Love the Fishbowl Jello Shots!
Goldie--glad to hear things are feeling a little better!
Janky--Sadie did give me the treatment the other day when I got home--came and got pets and cuddles then sat down back to me, very pointedly (looking around once in a while to make sure I was noticing). She seems to have forgiven me after taking her to work yesterday, though! Hoping for no more rough weather issues for you and yours!
-
Sandy, I meant to comment on your gay guys. I have 2 brothers that are gay and have been able to meet many of their friends. And girl, let me tell you, these guy are awesome at home interior decorating. AND, they can usually cook very well!
JCS, good luck on all of your upcoming treatments. Radiation will kick your butt, it's cumulative and you will get super tired. Don't fight it, it will just make it worse, take that nap. Seems like I slept a lot on the weekends, but he helped me recoup for the week coming.
Left yesterday morning for town at 9 am, didn't get home until 5:30. Plum wore out, I tell ya. We must have had close to a dozen stops. Went to be at like 6:00. Then around 7pm, I was awoken with my phone going off, my DD wants to facetime. Everyone was at one of my brothers, my DD, another brother and his partner, my 2 nieces and one of their husbands, a neighbor, and of course the brother's house they were at! I had to be very careful holding my phone, as I only sleep in panties!
One of the stops was the hospital to pick up my records, so I could see if it told of the hepatitis. All it said was that was to be followed up with doctor! WTF, so I still don't know anythings. Oy Vey!
-
Gosh NM, I didn't realize we had bumped each other into the pewl. I just got out and boy am I prunie! Thanks for the medical advice. I am feeling sooooo much better today. I did take a nap, which I don't ever, cuz I can never fall asleep. I think I laid down around 10am or maybe a little later, and boy did I sleep, and I slept good last night as well. So happy Sadie and the patients enjoyed one another. They had dog therapy at my moms nursing home, but she didn't want to be bothered, said it made her sad cuz it reminded of her of Zeus. But now she can enjoy all the pets she has had. Hope nothing too serious with Pearl.

Our local news station did a segment last night on it being peak strawberry season, with the sweetest ones around here coming from a farm in IN—but I'm not about to waste gas & drive 45 miles in crazy freeway traffic to buy a box of berries. So I got up early (for me) to go to our neighborhood farmers' market—but by the time I could take my morning meds, feed the kitties, have my coffee, do my teeth (and, uh, something else) it was already pushing 11a.m. Walked to the market only to find out they were sold out of berries by 9 a.m.! (Not much of a market, anyway—half the stuff was honey, baked goods, and a taco stand, with just two produce vendors). So I got some veggies & cheese and walked home—the quarter-mile, carrying bags, wore me out. Had breakfast and called around—an Amish health food store down in Bucktown/Ukrainian Village (hipster-land, 6 miles away) had plenty—so I braved endless stop & go traffic and nailed an unmetered spot kitty-corner from it. Bought the berries, some other veg & herbs, & coffee beans—and the owner threw in a dozen Amish pastured eggs!
DOTD thus far—coffee & Crystal Light pink lemonade (the diet sheet says it's okay). I'm not doing this diet for vanity, but on my MO's (and PCP's) orders to get my a1c, glucose, and LDL down and keep my hemoglobin above the anemia line.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Sunday Funday! Got the jeep taken care of to the tune of twice what I expected, turned out they replaced all 4 tires and not just the 2 I asked for.Need to call them tomorrow and find out how that happened.Spent the rest of the day lounging around with Sadie.The cold feels much better this ayem than yesterday peeyem, so I'm hoping I'm on the downhill side of it now. Stopped to do some grocery shopping and got lots of fluids to drink, so that's helping. Now if only I didn't pee myself when I get a hard coughing jag going!Sadie is out sunning herself on the deck, I'm going to do the same after my visit here and I hang out the clothes that are in the wash right now.
Goldie--Sweetie, there may not be anything to know about your liver.Hepatitis only means inflammation of the liver. Yes, there are viruses that cause liver inflammation, or hepatitis, but the liver is also inflamed by dehydration, chemotherapy drugs, certain foods, cancer, stress and a whole list of other things. It would have beenmore surprising if your liver enzymes did NOT go up given how dehydrated you were and for so long. Yes, it needs follow up.You should have your liver enzymes checked again after you have recovered and felt well for a couple of weeks. Chances are the liver enzymes will return to your baseline levels. And it is standard cover-your-ass practice for the ED doc to tell someone to follow up with a doctor for EVERY abnormal lab test or finding they come across. Make sure your Onc knows about the dehydration and elevated liver enzymes before your next round of FU pills.The Onc may want to get another set of liver enzymes before you take them to be sure things have settled down. Or he may not, as elevated liver enzymes isn't unusual for someone taking FU pills. But for your own peace of mind make sure to check in before your next round.So funny the mental picture I have of you lying on your bed half nekkid while facetiming!Pearl was getting her annual inspection and getting a couple of tires replaced, only it ended up being 4 tires! Good lord, those things are expensive!
Chi--good deal scoring the eggs!I hope the diet works for you for your sugars and LDL.
Cammy Cat--LOL!!
