Hi My Name Is ...

Hi everyone....I haven't checked in on the thread in a long time, but you all are in my thoughts and prayers often! Tammy, I saw where you got a good checkup....that is wonderful and I am celebrating with you. tenaj....you are going through such a rough time but it seems like you are keeping such a good attitude...hopefully the cold weather will end soon and that will help you feel better. 2 really cold winters in a row is terrible, isn't it? It's time for spring! Kindergarten.....I haven't been able to do much exercising...still have the chemo fatigue. Haven't been able to get a chemo break yet but scans still show the chemo to be working. I just had my 12 or 13th treatment...I have lost track! Should be having more scans soon. We did something crazy back in Oct. Got a puppy. At first I wondered what have we done? He has actually been good for me...gives me something to do and he is a good companion during these long winter months at home. He is still like a toddler....gets into everything....favorite activity is getting into tissue boxes! I have them everywhere cause the herceptin keeps me with a constantly running nose! He definitely keeps me from laying around too much which I am often tempted to do. Take care everyone....sending love and hugs.

Hi Judy, great to hear from you! I love dogs!! I am sure your puppy is keeping you busy & loved!!! Enjoy...Very glad to hear your scans results are better from the chemo...Hang in there!!

I am feeling better these days, I am continuing the tapering of my prednisone & am tolerating it so far. My MD actually started me on a new drug that is suppose to help with the pain & tapering of prednisone. Today is day #1.....keeping hope that this will help. When the weather breaks I am back to my walking...it has been brutal here with the weather. Woke up to 2 degrees this morning, unusual for us here! The bay is completely frozen over, it has been decades since I have seen this. I can't complain though, my daughter in Boston has sooooo much snow!!! The pictures are incredible.

Blessings to all! Stay warm & well

((hugs)))

Hi tenaj.....I am so glad that you are feeling better. Spring weather will surely help...if it ever gets here! We had the deep freeze last week too and today it is snowing again. I don't think I can take much more of this winter that will not end! Walking outside would feel so nice. Spring can't be too far away......definitely looking forward to it! Good morning kindergarten! Hope you are having a good day too!

Good morning ladies! Still COLD & SNOWY weather here......Spring can't come soon enough. Judy,I love the picture of your pup, adorable! I want to rub those ears!! Tammy that is great that you're swimming....such a healthy exercise. Hi Kathy!! So far so good on the tapering, today I dropped down a bit again!! I am still swollen but am feeling better. Maybe next week the weather will break & I can do some walking......Have a wonderful day!!

Hi everyone....Hope you are all having a nice weekend. Still cold here, but at least we are not getting a snow storm this weekend! How is it up there for you, tenaj? I know you must have snow fatigue too!

It was finally time for me to get an avatar....the puppy makes a good one! Dh gets up early with him every morning and then brings him in to see me. I wake up every day to that cute little face! The fur on his ears still feels velvety like when we first brought him home. He has been a good companion for me this winter and he definitely keeps me moving!

Janet, sorry to read about your dog but a good thing he has you to take care of him.

I'm really getting into my swimming as it seems to loosen up my perpetually stiff back!

Happy exercising everyone

Thanks for the tip Janet! I hope everyone is well and exercising

Judy, your puppy is adorable!! Janet, hope your sweet dog feels better!! Tammy, I love to swim, have fun!!! Still walking a lot and pulling the grandkids around in their wagon

Thank you, Tammy!! It is really warm here, if the the pool at our Condo complex is heated, we may go swimming!! Thanks for the inspiration!!

Janet, slow and steady at first is a good plan....we're doing this for a marathon not a sprint! You've got a great attitude so I'm sure you'll succeed!

Kathy, did you do any swimming? I haven't been for a couple of weeks but I'm back on track on Monday

Hi, Tammy and Janet!! Hope you are both doing great! Miss you guys, so let's keep in touch!! Been walking a lot, rode bikes one day, but my main exercise is running after the grandkids!!! Can't wait for the heat to go on in the pool so I can go swimming!!!

Hi, Tammy, hey you are doing great!! I get off track all the time!!! Hi, Janet, hope you are doing well!!!

Tammy you made me laugh!!!! I like being naughty too... Sorry I haven't been on in a while. Things have been a bit of a struggle & I want to be positive for you girls so I stayed away. Your kind words do make me feel better and I've missed you too. Kathy, your grandkids must be getting so big, sounds like fun exercise.

I'm off the next few days & hope to finally enjoy some long waited warmer weather.

Have a wonderful weekend

(((Hugs))

Tammy , absolutely!!! Hi Janet, you are so allowed to have down times! We care so always come here to talk or vent! I am actually seeing a psychiatrist and therapist now! I was put on a small dose of lexapro! Just having some stress, feeling better every day!! Took a long walk and did hills with hubby and our middle grandchild!! You guys are wondetfu

Kathy, good on you for getting the help you need! Janet, we all have our problems and that's why we come here!
