Baby it's cold outside

Meece, I hope all goes well on Friday. I got my all's well from my oncologist last week. I see her every 6 months, too. I had a chest xray for an annoying cough I have and it was all clear!

Yes Meece Friday at 10:45. I'm afraid to look at questions right now. I have a few floating around in my head but when I start to think about being stage 4 I freak out. 

Hugs and prayers to you both Meece and Paulding. I had to wait 3 days for the results of my chest xray and it was 3 loooong days. I found my mind wandering to having to tell my kids, again, that I had cancer and on down that scary road. My oncologist has me going to see her every 6 months and to call or email her if anything seems wrong.

We have sunshine again along the coast!!! I'm taking my daughters boyfriend to the drive-thru tree today. He's never been and the redwoods are just too beautiful to pass up while he's here.

Hold on, we're here on the ice with you both!

Wonderful news re: your CT, Meecie.

{{hugs & prayers for you both}}

I took a list of about 10 things into my PCP visit today.  Came out with Rx for urinary tract infection (oh joy! haven't had one of those in about 25 years), situational depression & refills on the other things!  56 years old & my medications practically outnumber me (not really, just seems like it!)

On the weather front, it has been a glorious week of 70s & 80s.  For some reason it has decided to be high 90s today & tomorrow & then drop back down for the weekend.  I guess I can handle 2 hot days.

Hi Jamie, Good idea on the organizer.  I've been taking tons of pills for many things prior to BC that I have my medicine cabinet divided up like pill organizer.  These in the AM, over here is noon, cant forget evening & then of course there's the sleep agents!  Yeah! Life in the now.

dualgate, I was on tamox for 6 months and I was also forgetting to take it and had to resort to the pill organizer box. All I took was the tamox, multi-vit, calcium, flax seed oil, and 81mg asprin, you would think I could remember to take those 5 pills. I think that one side effect of tamox can be trouble sleeping. I have heard others take melatonin (over the counter) just before bed, to help with sleeplessness.

Meece, thinking of you tomorrow.  I use med boxes - 1 for morning and 1 for evening.  I took ambien while going thru everything and it worked.  I was able to get off it pretty quickly after it was over. 

Hot in the 90's and no rain.  We are grateful hurricanes have left Florida alone this year so far knock on wood.

Welcome Jamie. 

Paulding and Meece, I'm thinking of you both and you're in my prayers.  I have a three hour drive to Northern Michigan tomorrow and you'll both be on my mind as I drive the real road thinking of this new rough road we must all drive now. 

(OK, too deep, I'm now going to lighten up - Geez).

I've had med boxes for a while, four compartments for each day of the week.  Between my hayfever, asthma, lupus, IBS, vitamins and the ever wonderful Femera, I can't keep it straight.  Like Eph, I take more meds than my age, I swear.

We finally had rain beginning yesterday and most of the day today.  My flowers are perking up as is the lawn.  Saturday will be jeans and sweatshirt day.  My Michigan State Spartans and the Spartan Marching Band will be thrilled with Saturday's weather but as all of you already know - I WON'T be thrilled. 

Have a great evening.  I'm toasting all of you ladies with a glass of Black Box Shiraz from the Central California coast (which Meece and Smith and Eph probably know all about).  Have to get my antioxidents some how!

Sheila you beat me to it, I was just going to suggest Melatonin....lol.  I had the devils own job of getting to sleep and was only managing an hour or two a night.  In Aus, melatonin is available only on prescription, so my doc px'd me some about six months ago now and I've gone from one hour to  twelve.  Hope it works for you dualgate.
