I am so happy to hear that you all had a great visit together at Pickety Place!! Loved the Pictures and just wish I could have been there!
Michelle,
Sorry that you are feeling under the weather... I know here in NY there is a respiratory thing making the rounds... Seems like every year, once school starts, everyone gets sick! I hope your soup was soothing and helps you to feel better soon!
In my case radiation was pretty rough on my skin... I came through it in good shape ( so I was told) but it did take a bit of time for my skin and, in my case, the underlying tissue, to heal and soften
up... I could see where a PS would want to wait a bit before doing surgery.... Although, the DIEP was presented to me as the best option fir reconstruction for someone who has had radiation!
I have my MRI scheduled for the 17th... When is your PET? Here's hoping for a great outcome for both of us!! With respect to the tumor marker tests.... They have a fairly large false postive rate.... One day at a time!
Hugs,
Jennifer -
I made open face pizza sandwhiches, which I toasted on broil. I used the wheat sandwhich rounds, added a little pizza sauce, motzerella cheese, red, orange, and yellow peppers, onions, tomatoes, and avacado, very yummy.

Zumba....
That sounds really good! Especially the avocado! A favorite of mine! -
Warning - This is a really long post, that you may want to skip, but I needed to get it all out and vent and I just kept typing until I was done.
It's been a rough couple of days on the home front. I got a call at work yesterday from DB#1 that my Dad was in the hospital. He was fine and they were keeping him overnight for observation. My dad is almost 93 and has dementia that seems to have progressed over the last 2-3 months.
Evidently he left the house late Monday night/early Tuesday a.m. and went for a walk in the pouring rain. He managed to get at least a mile from the house before the police picked him up. I don't know whether he was on the ground when they found him, but somewhere along the way he fell. He's never done this before. Fortunately he had his wallet with ID on him. The police took him to the hospital. They did a variety of tests and physically he is fine. The police tried to reach a relative. DB#1, who is staying with Dad, while DB#2 who lives with him is on vacation, was not awakened by the repeated ringing of the door. The police were able to reach DB#4 who went to the hospital and finally - after multiple phone calls - managed to arouse DB#1 from his ambien induced slumber.
Dad's forgetful and has difficulty with time and place, but has never wandered before or done anything to indicate that he was not safe to be left alone for short periods of time. DB# 2 lives with him and a housekeeper comes in once a day 5-6 days a week. Someone is always there to provide meals and housekeeping for him and other than 1 night a week and short periods of time during the day he is never in the house alone. This new development means we've reached a new level in the amount of care he needs and difficult decisions need to be made about his future care.
My mom died from Alzheimer's 3 years ago and spent the last 4 years of her life in a nursing home. My dad's dementia presents very differently and we have been hoping to avoid having to remove him from his home. Watching my parents decline in the way has been heart breaking and more difficult than dealing with BC ever was.
As I mentioned DB#2, who is Dad's major caretaker, is on vacation. His first real vacation since my mother became ill. It's the vacation of a lifetime - a photo safari in Africa. Unfortunately, he was made aware of Dad's situation by an email I sent out. Without thinking, I just hit the "family" address button which automatically sends the email to all my siblings and their spouses. I feel terrible that he found out about this. He deals with Dad on a daily basis and going half way around the world still wasn't far enough for him to get a break. I also can't help thinking about my Dad, out there alone in the middle of the night, in the pouring rain and what could have happened if the police hadn't seen him.
I'm also extremely angry at DB#3's wife who misunderstood my email, which talked about someone staying with Dad in the hospital. I didn't think this was necessary since it was just 1 night. She thought I was talking about leaving him home alone at night and sent a scathing email addressed to the family that was directed at me. She later sent a cursory apology. But, I am still seething. First, that she thought that I would be so heartless or stupid as to even consider leaving my father alone at home and second that she - who has never even offered to provide any type of care for either of my parent's thought it was her place to chastise me.
Between my sadness and fear about my dad, guilt over being the cause of my DB#2 finding out and continued raging anger at my SIL - it's been tough. . I know I shouldn't feel guilty and my worrying about it is not going to help Dad's situation any. I also know I need to let go of my anger at SIL, which I am finding impossible to do at this moment. I was exhausted before this happened. I'm beyond that point now. I came home from work at 3:30 slept until 9:00. I'm ready to go back to bed. Sleep is the only release from the worry and other bad feelings right now.

You are in such a rough place right now.... It is so hard to see our parents age but, if you add in dementia/Alzheimers it becomes really unfair!
Unfortunately, we are going through a similar situation with my father-in-law... He can talk about things that happened 20 years ago as if it were yesterday but he can't remember where the gas station is or that fact that he just asked you the same question 2 minutes ago....
My husband is an only child and they live 3 hours away so helping and being there for them is becoming increasingly frequent and difficult due to the miles between us... We may be faced with some tough decisions here shortly as to whether it may be better to move them closer....
Please.... Feel free to type until you get it all out!! It's good for the soul! None of us minds a long post.... -
OHHH, Hautie, I'm sorry that your dad is not doing well, your post made me cry, i can feel the pain and worry in your post and my heart goes out to you. You shouldnt feel guilty about your DB finding out, im sure if he found out later and no one told him he would of been upset? It sounds like maybe with all of you around your DB can continue on his vacation for now. And i have a SIL like yours, she is always medling and causing problems, (not as bad as she ued to be) Hopefully a good nights sleep and you wont have that anger in the morning, dont let the stupid things she says consume your thoughts! I hope you get a good nights sleep. You and your family are in my thoughts. ((((((hugs))))))
Debbie

Michelle- I worry about you! I hope you get your blood sugars and CA back to normal. (((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))
Seaside-Sorry about your FIL! Its so hard when our parents or people we love get older, and sadly the older we get the older they get. :-(((((
-
Michelle so sorry you are not feeling well HUGS maybe that slight cold you thought you were getting is turning into something more? being sick can throw your sugar off.....but I am sure you are up on that. Waiting to get all these procedures done is so frustrating, just want to be done right? I did deip, then rads and now waiting the 6 mo to finish the final touches.
Kay good luck with the rads, they should all go pretty quickly now, I was always in and out within 15min unless it was see the Dr. day.
Hauntie, that is a really sad and touching story....so hard to see our parents health failing, and then to add all the family dynamics is overwhelming. Everyone has a different opinion as to what to do. Vent on here all you want....we will listen!!!
Off to the Herceptin chair...have a geat day everyone, gonna be sunny and warmer to day.
-
Thanks, everyone! I am feeling much better this morning. The fever is gone, the sinus congestion on my right side is back, but not as bad as it was. I have treated it with Afrin and I expect it will be better in a couple of hours. My blood sugar was almost back to normal this morning, so yesterday was an anomaly and I am going to visit my mom today. Maybe I was a little neutropenic.
{{{Lynda}}} - Watching our parents go through Alzheimers or any type of dementia is just devastating. It's so difficult to know that the day will come when they don't know who we are. I saw it with my grandmother, who was extremely healthy and lived with it for ten years. And my mom still has enough memory to remember watching her mother's journey and honestly, she is terrified. I don't want to see her dementia progress, but it would be easier if she didn't remember that part.
For those of you facing these tough decisions about your parents, I do think that moving my mom to an assisted living facility that resembled her previous apartment (she lived in senior housing for 14 years) made the adjustment so much easier. And I don't have to worry every minute. The downside - it's incredibly expensive and will consume every penny she has. Fortunately, at some point in a couple of years, the state will take over and she will not be booted out. I have some peace of mind there.
Deborye - thanks for reminding me about the CA-15-3. I'll ask for that one when I go back for my follow-up in early November. I have read that it's not unusual for the tumor markers to be slightly elevated immediately after chemo. I'm not going to worry too much unless the PET/CT shows something unusual. Next week we'll have a better idea.

my hands and feet hurt.. I'm thinking that buying some fried chicken from Price Chopper is the answer to the feed the family problem today. i'll maybe coerce the boys into making mashed potatoes.
good eating all!
-
Lynda Hauntie.. my dad died of Alzheimer's - it's tough..
I have some wonderful anecdotes and stories tho of his exploits.
on a lighter note, one of my old neighbors had Alzheimer's and his daily routine included walking around the neighborhood. I came home one day and he startled me... He was sitting on the couch with the TV on and said.. 'honey - we're out of coke". I have no idea how he got into the house.. i must have left it unlocked.
He lived right around the corner and up a ways so i walked him home and told his wife he needed a coke.
-
Hauntie, my mom has alzheimers. The first time we realized it was worse than we thought was similar to your dad's. She left the house in the morning to go to church. Had the time wrong and there was no mass. She decided to walk to the cemetart (a few miles away in heat of July about 95 degrees). She went, but when she tried to go back home she had a hard time finding the way out. She finally got out, but collapsed on the street from heat stroke and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. She still did well for a couple of years after that, but now doesn't really know us any more and is mostly self absorbed with whatever you put in her hands. It is really sad. She is not the same person. I think it is the worst disease there is. It is tough. I am thinking about you and praying for you.
Michelle, glad you;re feeling better. Hope the scans give good results. (((((((hugs))))))))
The radiation treatment was much quicker and easier last night. Only in the treatment room for about 10 minutes. Saw the LE therapist today. Unfortunately, they say they can't do anything til I finish rads. I guess I know how you feel about pushing the DIEP off Michelle. So frustrating.
-
Hauntie - there is a thread in the Complementary and Holistic Medicine and Treatment forum (from index) that is called Aging Parents anonymous.. it is funny, insightful and sad. You might enjoy visiting it.

Hi everyone. Just got back from an excursion - picked up my mom, then picked up one of her sisters (about 25 minutes away) then we all went to lunch (Chinese - mom loves it). Afterwards we went to visit my uncle, and then we went back to my aunt's house and visited the other aunt. These two sisters aren't speaking so of course we couldn't do everying at once. LOL..stubbornness is a family trait! And then I got mom home in time for bingo. And for the first time since we moved her in May, she said she LIKES the place!!! Woohoo! Those anti-depressants are working!!! On the down side, once again, they hadn't changed her sheets in two weeks. So I left the clean sheets on the bed and talked to the manager in charge of housekeeping...again. It's always something!
DH is on his way home from the jobsite in Massachusetts and we are going out for steak after he gets home. I feel so much better than yesterday and I am up for it.
Apple - that is a funny story about your neighbor!!! Thankfully, he went to a "safe" place and didn't wander off too far.
Kay - glad to hear the rads were faster last night. Everyone has said that it's really quick once you are in there. But if I end up having to drive to Boston for 33 treatments, it's going to be ugly, especially in Nov and Dec.
Michelle
-
Hauntie- I am so sorry about your father. Always come here and release, I am sure none of us mind listening, I know I don't. I hope today was better.
Kay- I am so glad things went well last night.
Apple- I agree , that was a funny story about your neighbor. It sounds like everyone took it in stride and like Michelle said, at least he wandered to a safe place.
Michelle- I couldn't imagine if you had to go to Boston for all thirty three rads! But as I disclosed at our lunch, I am a country bumpkin, all that traffic! I am glad your feeling better today, you must be feeling a lot better for all you did today. I'm tired just reading what you did! The sheets thing would make me pretty angry, I hope they get the hint this time. But it's wonderful that your Mom is feeling happier about where she is. It must make you feel good.
Carrie I hope your herceptin went ok, thinking of you.
Seaside- I'm sorry about your FIL, it sounds like a tough situation. I hope you are able to find answers that makes everyone feel good about things. As good as you can feel about such a sad situation.
Today I have been a woman on a mission. We are going camping for the long weekend and I have been food prepping and loading the camper up. This is our first fall trip and I decided to not grill too much and make things here that will just get popped in the oven. I made pulled pork today that I can dump in the crock pot and heat up one night and I made a lasagna today too that I can pop in the oven the other night. Besides that it's burgers and dogs in addition to the chili my DH is going to make tonight. So not a lot of cooking once we get on site. I made extra of the pulled pork so that will be dinner tonight too.

Hi All!
Dinner tonight was roasted chicken, acorn squash and dressing...
Just received an e-mail from a friend about a movie that will be shown on Lifetime this weekend.... It's called Five and it sounds interesting.... Here's the synopsis.....
"The groundbreaking original movie “Five” is an anthology of five short films exploring the impact of breast cancer on people’s lives. “Five” highlights the shared experience each short film’s title character endures from the moment of diagnosis, through an interconnected story arc that uses humor and drama to focus on the effect breast cancer and its different stages of diagnosis have on relationships and the way women perceive themselves while searching for strength, comfort, medical breakthroughs and, ultimately, a cure. "
Hopefully it has a bit of reality to it and isn't just 'feel good fluff'.... I will probably give it a look....

Laurie.....
Have a great time camping!! The weather here is supposed to be just lovely this weekend! Hope the same is for the whole NE....
They are saying this is our 'Indian Summer' weekend! Enjoy! -
We had a delicious and easy dinner tonight. Pan-seared halibut filets we brought home from Alaska. Mashed potatoes with Smart Balance, light sour cream, chopped parsley, and s & p. A salad of sliced home-grown tomatos and cucumbers. DH also had chopped sweet onions on his salad. My dressing was squeezed lemon juice and a drizzle of EVOO. I made a sauce of melted butter and lemon juice for the halibut. I went light on the sauce and the mashed potatoes. I am trying very hard to lose the extra pounds I packed on this summer. Losing weight is so-o-o-o difficult since I no longer take HRT and have no estrogen.
Michelle, I'm sorry you felt bad yesterday. We did drive around quite a bit in Alaska. The truck with the camper can be parked in a parking lot as long as the spaces aren't too tight. It was very convenient doing sightseeing and having our own bathroom! And kitchen with sandwich makings, There are many options in Class C rvs. I think a small motorhome is an interesting choice. We have a 38 ft. 5th wheel with 3 slides that we normally tow on our summer trips to get away from the 3 H's--heat, humidity and hurricanes. This Alaska trip involved much more driving than we usually do. Next summer we will probably go to northern MN for most of the summer. We love Grand Marais and Ely.
New England is also a big favorite as a place to hang out during the summer.
-
Laurie - finally, you will have fabulous weather this weekend! I remember camping up in the White Mountains one Columbus Day weekend and the night time temps were in the 20's...brrr.... and all the leaves were brown! You will have a great time! And yes, I couldn't believe my ears when my mom told her brother and sister that she liked the place and it had everything she needed. While the place has some issues that I am not thrilled with, at least for now she is happy again. I told my DH and he couldn't believe it, either.
Seaside - I saw an interview yesterday, I think, with Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore, and Alicia Keyes about this movie. It's on next Monday at 9:00 and I have it set to record. I did see a clip that mentioned Stage IV, so I am guessing it will be at least somewhat realistic.
Apple - loved the music video! And quite a gesture from that young man!
We went to dinner tonight at a nearby Texas Roadhouse and it was the most unpleasant dining experience we've had in quite a while. The food was fine, but the place was like a meatlocker. Everyone was cold, even my DH who is never cold. Everyone was complaining but nothing was done. My husband told our poor server, who was taking the brunt of everyone's complaints, that we wouldn't be back until the temperature was below 30, thus ensuring no air conditioning blowing on our heads! Our steaks were cold before we could finish them. Hundreds of other choices!

For my b-day dinner I had broiled haddock with zucchini & summer squash and sweet potato fries. I could not finish the fries. Did share my b-day key lime pie with a candle in it.
Edit to add Sam Adams Octoberfest for a drink.
-
Deb- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Michelle- Glad your feeling better today. thats pretty bad when they dont change sheets for two weeks, I dont think i would of been so nice LOL!
Laurie- Have a great time camping. I watched all of the episodes of the Big C last night, i wont give it away because i think it was kay? that was watching it on demand too, but WOW! i wasnt expecting that!
Seaside- I saw the previews on that too, it looks like its going to be good!
My dad and his wife are coming tomorrow for the weekend i have been cooking most of the day, i dont know why,because we are always out eating and gambling when they come, but i never know how long he is going to stay so i always have plenty of food. (hes vegetarian) I made my couscous salad, oatmeal breakfast bars, these have no sugar or flour in them and they are good. and a wonderful dessert, an orange chocolate cake, with a granache topping, its delicious!!
-
-
Happy Birthday Deborye!!
Debbie,
Hope your visit with your Dad and his wife is a good one! Lots of food is good but, I think eating out and gambling sounds good, as well....lol
When you get a free moment, I would love the recipe for the orange chocolate cake!
Michelle is right... the movie is not over the weekend. It is on Monday at 9.... i'm going to assume that's on the east coast.... If you miss it and want to see it, It will re-air Tues 10/11 at 1:00 am (well I have NO hope of seeing that one....lol) and then again on Sat 10/15 at 8:00 pm.....
I plan to record it and watch at my leisure.... They certainly have a lot of star power behind it....
Hoping it's good!
Went to the store today and bought all the ingredients to make Michelle's chili so that and some corn bread is what's for dinner tomorrow.... I am starting with the sneezing and sniffles so I am afraid I may have the respiratory crud that has been going around here... Hoping I can just fight it off but we'll see....
'night all! -
Seaside-I hope you feel better:-)))
Here is the recipe you requested it is called Mini orange chocolate chunk cake- You can find the original recipe at foodtv.com it si ina garten's recipe there and can see the picture of it. I have the molds, but you can also use regular cupcake tins, tube pan or a regular cake pan with these, This turned out so good and will make it again, i hope you enjoy!
ngredients
- 1/4 pound unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 extra-large eggs at room temperature
- 1/8 cup grated orange zest (2 large oranges)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 3 ounces buttermilk at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup good semisweet chocolate chunks
For the syrup:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
For the ganache:
- 4 ounces good semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 6 individual serving baking molds, such as the flexible non stick 100 percent silicone molds.
Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for about 5 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, then the orange zest.
Sift together 1 1/2 cups flour, the baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, combine the orange juice, buttermilk, and vanilla. Add the flour and buttermilk mixtures alternately in thirds to the creamed butter, beginning and ending with the flour. Toss the chocolate chunks with 1 tablespoon flour and add to the batter. Pour into the pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 30 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the molds on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the syrup. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, cook the sugar with the orange juice until the sugar dissolves. Remove the cake from the pans, put them on a rack over a tray, and spoon the orange syrup over the cakes. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
For the ganache, melt the chocolate, heavy cream, and coffee in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until smooth and warm, stirring occasionally. Drizzle over the top of the cakes.
-
Debbie - that looks yummy! I wouldn't want more than one piece of that in my house! That's a diabetic coma waiting for a place to happen...LOL!
My goodness it's cold this morning - 38! We haven't turned on the heat because we'll need the AC tomorrow when it gets close to 80. But brrr... I am sitting on the couch with a jacket and a blanket. It will warm up as soon as the sun comes up. The coffee is tasting particularly good at the moment.
Seaside - hope your crud is short-lived!
Michelle
-
so I'm fixing a rather nice dinner tonite for one hearty eating son, and my DH.. my appetite is minimal.. I can't grill because there is a fire ban.. not enough rain and high winds... but what to have?
i don't know. I'm thinking either salmon or stuffed cabbage.
-
There is a thread called Crissyb's adventure to the usa, (she is from Australia) and there is a link on pg 10 "king ranch chicken" and I made it last night, altering a few things I didnt have on hand, like the pablano pepper, and I used fresh tomatos instead of canned....it was amazing!! My DH said "you've got another winner" Its like a pan of chicken fahita (sp) lasagna...does that make sense?
Even without the pablano pepper it had a slight kick from the green chilis and seasonings....Laurie, may be a little spicey for your little ones.
We are doing a boat cruise tonight and then off to Ohio early in the morning...so no more cooking for me till Monday
Enjoy this gorgeous weekend everyone!
-
We're having porkchops for dinner. Breaded with Italian bread crumbs and panfried with a splash of EVOO. Fresh green beans and halved small potatoes cooked in chicken broth. Salad of halved cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, chopped yellow bell pepper. Dh will have chopped onions on this salad. My dressing will be oil and vinegar.
We're running the A/C down here in south Louisiana. Summer is hanging on.
-
Carole - we'll be running the A/C here in NH this weekend - it's going to be in the low to mid-80's! I actually resisted the urge to turn on the heat this morning and made use of my afgan and wore a sweater because it was just above freezing outside. Talk about bizarre weather! DH worked late and is now trying to get home via some back roads but has about a 2 hour drive. There was a huge traffic jam on his normal route where people have been sitting for hours, so anything will be better. I grabbed dinner from a little local restaurant near us called The Flaming Kabob. It's mediterranean-based and my steak kabob and hand cut french fries were good, although I like my kabobs with some grilled veggies. The salad was iceberg lettuce and tomato - pretty boring - but the dressing was a fresh tasting lemon vinaigrette. And I splurged on a piece of baklava but I swear it had been out for days. Not good at all and not worth eating.
Carrie - enjoy your cruise tonight and safe travels to Ohio.
Apple - hope your family appreciates your dinner tonight!
