I don't go barefoot any more except in the shower or pool. Over the years, my toes have been viciously attacked by furniture, radiators, exercise machines, and even a wrinkle in a rug.

Lucy, yeah, news is best in long time! Walking better since usi g rollator and doing the exc exercises. I may make a trip to the coast, maybe even a lunch, see how weather holds up
-
Iris - So glad you got good news.
Ducky - Lovely photos, as always, of you and your family.
-
Great news, Iris, Mommy, and Rgoosen!
Love the photo booth pictures, Ducky. Looks like it was a good time!
I hardly take my shoes off, either. The worst one was when I kicked a box of books (not on purpose). I actually broke my poor toe. Fortunately it didn't take too long to heal up.
I called my oncologist's office today with a question about the tiny spider veins I seem to be developing around my scar. I've gotten a new one recently, plus I have a tiny little flat red dot under my scar, like someone touched me with a red pen. I've heard spider veins are a side effect of radiation, but I finished radiation 2 years ago, I don't know if you can still get more this far out? The nurse called back and said that it's hard to say without seeing it, so I'll have to go in for an appointment on Thursday.

Cubbie, hoping it is nothing worry some. Saw my neighbor, the cop, he has what i think of as wierd hours but at the start of this crazyness, he gavenmem his cell and said to call if i needed help. I needed help tightning the screws on my rollator. Its the small things that drive me nuts! My rollator now is tightened up!
I am determined to make it to the gym this week, wish me luck for tomorrow
-
Iris ...that's great you have a neighbour to help ..hope you get to the gym !!
Cubbie ..Hopefully the spider vein turn out to be nothing to worry about ...I know I have a couple of patches on my legs that I'm not too happy about :-(
I'm going out with a girlfriend for morning tea and shopping this morning. .yay ..my favourite thing to do 🤗
-
Back in Crazy Town this week. My husband needs a prostate biopsy after having an MRI last week. We’re just waiting for the doc to schedule it.
I know it’s very different than BC, but worrisome nonetheless.
-
Pennsy, I hope the biopsy goes well. I understand prostate cancer is very curable, but all cancer is scary, as we all know.
Iris, it's good to see you are still going to the gym.
Lucy, that sounds like more fun than my day at work! I have some spider veins on my legs as well, and particularly my ankles. It's a hereditary thing, my family tends to get them. Anything that happens near my mastectomy site makes me nervous though, especially new stuff.
-
cubbie, hope all turns out to be fine with the spider veins...
Iris, Yay, Yay, Yay, for the good news and yay for having a neighbor to help!
Lucy, shopping and tea with a friend sounds wonderful...
I've been gone for a few days, thanks to a whirlwind trip to SoCal for my Granddaughter's 10th birthday party! We had a blast....
-
Cubbie, my hereditary spider veins predate my bc dx, but as I've gotten older (perhaps due to the estrogen-deprivation), they're popping up even on my face. And my varicose veins along the inner side of my L knee have gotten more prominent. Welcome to the march of time...
-
well made it to the gym, but only did stuff approved by my pt person at hospital, basically the bike! Ok and i got to see folks, lots of nice folks. Hitting my hairdresser this pm, even though a gym pal said she thought it was fine as is but i just want it trimmed
-
I'm getting cherry angiomas on my stomach, too. Just a couple so far, but I've heard that is another aging thing.
-
Hubby and I saw a young coyote that went past us while we were helping out a friend at his family property last weekend. It didn’t even pay us any attention as it went past the three of us and right up the hill to some woods that was nearby. Hubby thought it was a wolf at first and I said it was way too skinny to be one. Told him it looked more like a young coyote. When we got home that night and I looked up images of young coyotes and sure enough it was!
-
Coyotes used to be an animal I thought of as only being out west, but they are moving into more urban areas all the time. I haven't seen one in town yet, but know some people who had one on their farm, and they are not that far out in the country. I would not be surprised if I saw one in my backyard, honestly. They are getting bolder and bolder.
-
Octo ..happy belated birthday to your granddaughter. !!! How's the knee ??
Iris ..glad you made it to the gym ..catching up with friends is great !
Well...we are trying to enjoy Hubby's last day of being 59 ...yep , he turns the big 60 tomorrow 😲..and it's been playing on his mind the last couple of weeks ...I didn't think it would of worried him at all ....We are going out to dinner to "celebrate " tomorrow night , and then Easter Sunday have booked a table at a restaurant for 35 people for his party ...sort of serves two purposes on that day ...
-
One was spotted in another part of my neighborhood a couple of weeks ago. Thought that is something I would never hear of happening in a city
-
(( Penny )) ...thinking of you and hubby ..hoping his biopsy comes back clear...
-
There's a pack of coyotes living behind the firehouse about 5 bl. away. Last month as I came home late at night I saw one trotting down my alley. They haven't done any harm--in fact, our rat population is down.
-
Happy 60th to your Hubby, Lucy!!!
-
That’s amazing Sandy!
-
Not surprised about the coyotes, Sandy. I live in a small but definite town (~9,500 people) and coyotes live in the ravine behind my house.
-
wow, have not seen coyotes around my little area and sort of hope i do not. We are just getting more deer which cause accidents and i am sure eat the shrubs. Course, we do have more than our share of bunnies and squirrels. Well having lunch with gym ladies today and then manicure. Busy day!
