My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer

Mara, I’m glad you made it to your mri and home again. You have a lot of stamina to get that done when not feeling your best. I hope the results come back clean, of course. I’ve seen Tim Horton’s in Canada on a few trips to Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake but haven’t tried anything yet. I’m sure having lunch was a good way to build up your energy and a nice treat too!

My hip and leg pain is improving some, but sitting in the car is still very painful after about 5 minutes. I think it must be nerve related but I still don’t know how I got it at all. I’m hoping there’s a path back to feeling normal, or close to it. My appetite is returning but without my sweet tooth, which is a good thing as long as it lasts.

Does anyone here play Wordle? It’s a newish word game that has a new puzzle once a day. At first I was pretty stumped but a FB friend kept putting up her results so I tried again. This is the link if you want to give it a go!

Hello to everyone. 😊. I read along, and care about you,but like some others said, I cannot keep what all is going on in my head, at least not lately.

Mae - I have an app called Merlin Bird ID designed by Cornell. I love it! One feature is Sound ID. When I go outside, I can turn it on and it will identify the birds I hear if it’s loud enough.

Gokale, thanks for the tip!

mara, that has to be scary - never knowing when the ice is going to be there! I'm glad you're careful but sorry you're having to be sort of cooped up! Isn't is nice, though, that we can order stuff like cleats on line? Yay for Amazon.

Oh my goodness I am feeling so lazy today. I finally got out of bed about 45 minutes ago, ate a bowl of potato salad. It’s cold in the house so sat on the floor in the living room next to my space heater and just completely vegged out for about 30 minutes. Stared at the dust, need to dust. Need to vacuum, clean the bathroom….hire a housekeeper Back in bed now. I need some energy! I’m sure the potato salad didn’t help.

Kikomoon, I am feeling the same today. I had a nap and have been telling my husband I feel like mush. I haven’t felt this tired in a while. I don’t like it. I’ve spent most of the day in bed just looking at my phone. I hope those feeling this way today feel better tomorrow.

Well I’m up now. One of my kitties has thrown up a few times today and she is not hungry at all, very unlike her. For her sister, the occasional throw up is expected. We are watching her and waiting for the emergency vet to open at 6, deciding if we need to take her. She is a young girl, not sure if she ate something or what.

I hope the kitty is ok. They are so tiny when they are kittens. Youre Good pet parents…. Let us know how the kitty is doing.

Moth~ how are you doing.

SeeQ ~ hope you're doing well.

Sondra~ hope all is well.

Just hoping all the ladies are holding their own!!

Tanya BooBoo living KBL Mara Sunshine Runor chiris hellos to you all.

thanks KBL, she’s up now and actively waiting for dinner, so she must be better. Will watch her tonight. I hope tomorrow you and I have more energy. I have thoroughly wasted this day, other than throwing some stuff on a pizza crust and doing dishes. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

Just got back to Houston and I’m beat. I’ll catch up tomorrow, goodnight all 🙂

Well all, I did not check the Boards since Friday (it is now Sunday). I had Covid shot #4 on Friday. Going2BeatThis the CDC recommended 4 shots for the immunocompromised. 3 for their primary series (as opposed to 2 for the general public) and then a 4th (booster) after 5 months. I developed a fever of 101.5 along with a headache on Friday night. Felt bad Saturday too. Now, Sunday, feeling better.

Pocket duty list for the week of Jan 24-

Elderberry- MO appointment Monday for bone marrow biopsy results

Tanya- MRI Monday

LivingIVLife- Scans Tuesday

Mara- CT Thursday

sorry Candy. That’s why I don’t want to get it done. I hate that!!!! Glad you’re feeling better.

candy: You are awesome in keeping track of all of us. I can barely keep my own stuff on track. I have been pretty chill on the biopsy but as Monday gets closer the anxiety is building.

Elderberry, Tanya, LivingIVLife, Mara, pocket duty for you all!

Candy, Glad you’re feeling you’re feeling better now. Adding my thanks for keeping track of events for us so we can do pocket duty. It does help to know we’re not alone with all these things we have to do.

I have one more week off before seeing MO on 1/31 to decide what’s next. She’s hoping the Foundation One report comes back by then, not sure why it’s taken this long but I suspect she wasn’t on the ball with getting it ordered right. I haven’t had any contact from anyone about the trial. Chances are it’s not the next step for me as I’m now a little nervous about being off treatment for a while.

Kikomoon, hope your kitty is doing better.

Snowy day here, pretty to be inside and just watch it.

Awesome bird pic Rosie.
