Blondie however it gets fixed it's good
And u are doing alot, I know it seems like maybe not so much but litlle by little u are--I never did a dams thing. but getting it every week I'd feel better the day i got it basicaly so I was on a different schedule and I sril don't do much. I did some PT today and not the one I was told not to do and a few things around the house and that was it. I was done for the day took my pain meds and vegitated as usual. LOL
-
PT what exactly are you doing for how long Cammie? Pain meds thank goodness for that, going downstairs for a popsicle then going to read.....hugs....

Hi hermits- we broke a record here today. 105 degrees and I know you hear "but its a dry heat." Trust me, 105 is hot no matter what the humidity! It has been 100 degrees or more all week and pretty much been laying low in the evenings as this heat bothers me. I am going to get up in the morning and go swimming at the gym before it gets too hot.
Blondie-glad you are on chemo break and getting some things done. I agree with Cami, however it gets fixed, its all good.
Cami-hope you are feeling good and the storms in your area are not troublesome.
Must go water now that it is dark. Still 93 degrees here at 9 p.m. I need to do a bigger rain dance I guess.
-
Blondie I' doing PT for my rotting back LOL 4 separate things wrong-none can be cured but maybe they can make me more comfortable hahaha--It's just easy excersies and walking cuz anything more than tht I crumble up LOL As I told them the pain goes to my eyeballs--(that's how I explain things) I mean how do u really explain pain--90 yr od women walk better tha me so I can't say I walk lik a 90 yr; old. It's just part of the whole picture so it could be worse.
Jazzy I don't care if it is dry heat --an oven is dry heat but would u sit in one that 105 degrees. It's horrible--last summer was the worst one I hve ever seen and it started i May hardly any rain and never under 95--no one was going out unless they had to and even in the early hrs, it was in the mid to high 80's and couldn't breathe out there--it went on for 3 ful months and then I realized I'd take winter any time against that crap--u could always warm up in winter and then u were worried the A/C would go out cuz there was so much going on it 24 hrs. a day and when it did for almost 2 weeks we had to stay somewhere else u could not breathe at all--So many things for outdoors were cancelled cuz u couldn't be outside. So I hate the heat so much.-I really feel bad for u.
-
Blondie just a note of why--I'm trying so hard not to have to use a walker and may just maybe this PT can help with some strength, but she didn't sound to promising about it,--I don't know what I have against walkers I just don't want one.
-
Blondie that's funny about you ex! I hope he can fix it and it starts up!
Hope you feel good tomorrow.
I really dislike the heat. I sweat and yuck I just hate it. I try to do fun things with the girls in the morning or night. DH loves it so he takes the afternoon shifts lol.
Camille I hope the PT helps and little Joey is doing better.
I hit a low todayUgh. My energy has been bad and I just feel blah. My birthday is tomorrow or today depending on your time zone (28th). I'm 32 today! Yay! I'm hoping to have lunch with the girls then do something with DH. My mother in law has offered to watch the girls. It makes me sad about my mom not being here
Hugs to all! -
-
I told u I'm pracricing on these cliparts. so u'll see a lot of goody stuff.
-
good job cammie....and I get the walker thing, just be careful!!!
Mark, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, 32 really, my favorite age.....
-
TGIF hermits!
Cami- love the chandler dancing thing. He has the moves LOL! Thanks for sharing.
How about a scooter to help get you around? One of my sister in laws has one and loves it.
Markat- well, happy birthday and know this will be a rough one. My mom passed 13 days before my birthday last year. You just do what you need to do this year. Wishing you a little peace in your heart this birthday. You have many good things ahead of you.
I am working at home today and glad for it. Going to be another hot one! I see many of you don't like the scorching heat either. We have the possibility of monsoonal rains soon and also a cool front bringing us down to the 80s next week!
I hope everyone has a nice day and a good weekend. Peace and love hermits!
-
Wishing you the best birthday possible Markat......xx
-
markat,
HB, and in time fond memories of mom will replace the sadness.
-
I can so relate to all of this. Love the thread. Love the earphone technique, kltb04 ... as soon as I get the nerve to start telling my family and friends I've been diagnosed with BC, I'm sure I will be using it plenty!!
-
Hi - Just caught up and the thought came to me that I wonder if there's a connectin between Hermitting and clutter - because I have it too!!!!! Laurie - that was a great story about the robin - how very kind of you.
DH is coming home today from his bike trip - soooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!! I missed him a lot and now he will be with on my last chemo
sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend
-
I just had to share this with you as it is supposed to be up to 104 again here today!
-
Marilyn so happy u'r finishing YaY for u. And u'r DH is home for it too.
Marie come by anytime and we'll help u adjust--we might be hermits but we do go out into the world we just don't let all the world come to us.
Jazzy I hope that heat lets up soon--I hate that for u.
-
-
Happy Birthday markat enjoy u'r family--I know it's not a happy time but u't family will amke it that for u.
-
Sweet hermits, happy for the humor.
Laurie... Little birds need to be noticed. Good for you. Prayers for eased discomfort and a back-to-normal-as-possible soon for you. I know you miss your profession. Congrats on son doing phenomenally. Cloud nine.
Markat... May 32 bring you healing inside and out. (I can relate to the clutter, too!)
Camille... Maybe you could have a walker parked in an out-of-the-way corner and use it only when you feel the need for solid balance or assistance? I can understand not wanting to go there. Hope your pain lessens.
cvm... yay, good news/happy dance.
Jazzy... loved your cartoon! Feels that way here sometimes.
DMarie... welcome. Work through at your own pace. It's like a toe in icy water. No one wants to plunge right in. Plenty of hermits to catch you, though, and offer a warm towel when you want out.
blondie... love your barter system. Dh loves to make trades like that.
Lily, Lori, all... hugs and hopes for a happy weekend. Try to stay cool wherever you are. (Happy Monday to Canadian hermits. Don't know if we have any.)
-
DMarie- welcome to our thread! I see you are newly diagnosed and probably just adjusting to the news. We have all shared our information differently, some very openly, others of us kept it to a limited few. We are here for you as you work to decide about those things, go through treatment process, all the emotions, etc.
We talk about everything here and it is safe, judgement free zone for those of us here. We hope you feel comfortable here and glad you have joined our community!
-
Thanks for all the bday wishes! We had a nice day. We ordered take out and are going to watch a movie tonight. MIL switched to watching the girls tomorrow night. I think we're going to go out and see a local musician.
I took the girls out and bought them a couple new toys and some more organizing boxes. My closets are going to look fabulous!
We probably have more clutter because we are home more often, or some other psychological reason I don't want to think about ;-p
Hugs to all!
-
