We have some bossy Blue Jays around our bird feeder. I had better keep an eye on them! The feeder is in the back and the nest is on the front door. Here's my solution to keep people from going to the front door

The momma is there you can barely see her! It is driving me crazy that the wreath isn't centered in the door anymore! Lol

Fun photos!

There is DEFINITELY a nest in my wreath now.

Had a rough night. Was only able to have the Zometa bone infusion yesterday because my platelets dropped AGAIN. They re-did the test to be sure, and on Tues platelets were 53, and yesterday they dropped TEN MORE POINTS (overnight). That concerns me. MO said if they were trending up, say 53 to 63, they would have done the chemo, but that wasn't the case.

My head hurt most of the night, with annoying wooshing in my ears, and my right hip is killing me. I hate to take pain meds, but gonna have to in order to get thru the day today.

Looks like things are on the move again (. Will have scans later in the month.

Oh, Lita, sorry to hear about your platelets and about the pain. Sending you the best possible vibes. You're in my thoughts, always.

Thinking of you Lita. Hope you are able to get the pain under control and enjoy today. ((())

Hoping for relief and rising platelets! Big hug

Damn- Not what I wanted to hear from you, Lita. Love and sincere wishes for rapid control of these symptoms. MJH

Explosive diarrhea now...I think it's because they didn't do a saline drip concurrently with my infusion.

Both dd and my brother say i have to DEMAND a saline bag, even tho they are scarce, from now on or just get up and walk out. It's ridiculous. Thank God I was wearing my Depends, and I'll continue sleeping on one of those bed pads for a few more nights.

Yes, the nest is getting bigger. I'm trying not to keep going up to the door's window and disturb mama bird.

Oh, I forgot to mention I have peach fuzz on most of my head now, except for the huge bald spot on the top of my head. It looks like male pattern baldness, ha ha. When you have WBR, some spots juat don't grow back in. I'll have to wait and see. (You don't lose your hair with Gemzar.)

I'll have more news next week.

Hi Lita. Sending much gratitude for your comment on bone mets. Hoping you can get the awful D under control. Hope you hear the baby birds chirping outside your door very soon. Mair

Hi Lita - dropping by to say you are on my mind and I'm stopping to pray for you right now. I hope the D was better today and you have been able to have an restful, uneventful day.

I don't think everyone realizes how much better we could do with the chemo side effects if we have a saline drip with chemo. I don't get a saline bag anymore with Halaven due to the shortage, but I do request and receive additional flushes after each premed and chemo. I tell the chemo nurse I do better with more fluids - always have. Seems there is always something, isn't there? We can all just take one day at a time. 💕

It's new day and I'm sending you vibes hoping it a good one!♡

Chemo is a go 4 tomorrow...numbers ok.

Dr has FINALLY okayed me 4 port installation. What the hell took her so long?

My arms make me look like a heroin addict right now.

"Also scheduled for emergency PET scan on the 19th (day after tomorrow) to check the integrity of the bones in my right hip and femur and see if there's an impending fracture(s) brewing. I can barely walk now, and she wants it checked out ASAP.

I will have another brain MRI in a couple of weeks. She says that's important, too, but not as urgent as the possibility of breaking bones. I'll either have to have pins/rods, or if the hip/femur are still okay (we hope....) I can maybe get by with just a sturdy hip/leg brace.

Keep me in prayer,"
