The Hermit Club

Thought I would share a sweet story.  I went to lunch with my youngest today - I asked her last night if she would preferred if I wore a wig rather than a hat and scarf. She said "I don't care; whatever makes YOU comfortable, I know your wig is itchy."  Then I asked her what if some of the other kids asked her about it later and she said that the school counselor told them if there were things they didn't want to talk to other kids about all they had to say was "That is personal and I don't want to talk about it."  So wise for 9.

Anyway, so I went for lunch, of course, no one said a thing.  I even popped my head in the teachers lounge to say hi to a few of the teachers I worked with when I did long term subbing.  They probably talked about me after I left, lol - I can just imagine those conversations in my head...

Very sweet girl!!

klt wow when u get a u smell good from a kid u must really smell good and u'r dtr is a jewel, see how much they do understand, they don't have to know specifics but bein so kind to u about u'r comfort is so special.

Well if things o right I will not be a hermit this weekend--Sat. niht family party and Sunday baby shower-I do hope I' up for it cuz I'd like to go, but unfortunately my body rules a lot so I just wait and see.

I saw the heart Dr. today and had all my labs and B/P was super.  So that's good.

Next week I see my other Drs. so I hope all oes well too.

Camille I hope you feel like going to your parties. Glad your heart is good!

I went into total hermitude for my bad chemo week.  I just didn't feel like doing much of anything so I didn't.  I did go back to work this week and survived okay.  Next week I'll be almost normal.

Food has been a struggle this time because my sense of taste got screwed up bad.  Very few things taste good so I just have been trying to make sure I eat even if it's not the best stuff for me.  I started drinking regular ginger ale (diet drinks taste just awful to me right now) and I think that has helped a bit.  I don't drink a lot but the carbination seems to help my stomach a lot.  The Onc Nurse that called me earlier this week said that they'd order another nausea med for me but after reading about it (Compasine?) I'm not sure I want to try it.  If it messes with my head or makes me dizzy, I would still be as non-functional as I am with the constant low-level nausea.

The new kitten has been keeping us well entertained.  My boyfriend named him "Hoppy" because that is what he is doing all of the time.  So much energy in that tiny little body! LoL

Jinkala I'm sorry this is so difficult for u--I hope u feel better soon and use plastic utensils for eating.

Markat I have perscription meds and I take the highest dose possible for my D. Mine is extremely violent and they don't have a clue how to stop it from happening. I just et tired of cancelling things I wan to do, u know what I mean?

Markat I hope u got our with u'r D for the evening, u need to do that and anyway it sounds good. Dinner?

I did have a great time tonite, sister cousins, friends--but I left about 2--ot home about 10:30 so to me a long day And I'm super tired and hurt alot--but we laughed alot so that makes up for it--And I wasn't very hungry so ate some--2 tables of food and desserts--NOW I WISH I HAD THE DESSERT TABLE  most of it was all home made too, not mine but alot LOL

Well I took my meds so I hope I sleep tonite.

Feeling your hot flashes markat too! I think I am having a combo...chemo and chemopause ones. Delightful.

Blankets on, blankets off repeat all night. Other than that Taxol is ok, #3 tomorrow so we will see. Have a new Oncologist and she is easy to communicate with, also very optimistic so a good combo.

camillegal.. glad you had fun at the party, too bad you didn't think of packing a small dessert package to go, next time

hope all are having a nice day

I hope you can go out and enjoy yourself! Let us know how things go at the docs.



I volunteered at the school again and went to my in laws. Tomorrow I will be a hermit until it's time to shuttle the girls to dance.



Whatevah- I hate the hot flashes! I don't notice them as much at home. I was sweaty at school again today. I was so afraid of embarrassing the girls, but all the kids were so sweet.



Kltb, sissydi, cs, jinkala, and the lurkers...hope you're all doing well. You guys must be out partying

Oh Don't get me started about hot flashes--LOL I stopped those years ago---Now they have reincarnated themselves. Disgusting

Markat u are getting out --good and don't worry about the sweatin it makes u look like u'r working harder than the others.

Klt the countdown to surgery ugh u really are doing things tho-wow I'm impressed---I akway thought they should not tell u about surgery and call the day before and that's it. SUPRISE, SUPRISE!!!

Well I went to one of my Drs. today mag is still low so she called the heart Dr. and I increase mag med. And she gave me an antibiotic for my sinus infection all in all things were ok--she's my GP and very nice--young--I see my onc and card. next month It's funny now with computers they go over all u'r meds everytime and they're all generic names ???? I'e got now 15 don't know 1 name except he one for aromosin and I just say yes to all of them--I think I'm right tho. LOL

Markat just stay put if u don't feel well. and yes Klt--u r ambishest (sp) that word doesn't look right, but then what does.

I'm going out tonite sick and all--I promised my sister and I'm not contagious tho.  It's  rainy and damp and I'd like to stay in and eat ice cream in my flannels--mmmm that sounds good and I also have a taste for cheesecake right now. Oh well  We're going to a rest. that nothing is over 500 calories blah--I do that everyday now it's worse at a restaurant. I want real food Well my SIL said he'll have something for me when I get home hahaha then I'll get into my flannels and curl up on my chair and let u know how it was. In the mean time

 Just so u don't forget about me and how I love my hermitude.
