DH thew away everything in our veggie bin in the refrigerator because of the ecoli recall of carrots. I did not get sick . The recall says Organic carrots and mine do not say organic but he's throwing them out anyway. I cant find anything online to say why organic carrots are the only ones recalled. Also, DH said I boiled them so long how could the ecoli live?😅 I dont feel the least bit sick.

I lost 2 posts and cant get them back the way I usually do. I posted about all the safety rules for stuffing a turkey and I follow all of them. Thats why I go over to help step daughter so she doesnt kill us all!😅. She is very good at keeping things clean so I want to be sure she follows the rules for preventing bacterial growth.

I have a turkey and I think I will cook it the next day for us to have leftovers. I have to bake the pies on Wednesday.

I saw that about the organic carrots, but I don't buy those. We buy the baby ones and haven't had any problems with them.

DH doesn't want anything special for Thanksgiving. I think his blood sugar is so good that he doesn't want to mess up how good he is doing. He want chicken breasts he gets at the local store, but I want a leg quarter so when we go to the store tomorrow I will get a leg quarter for me and he will get the frozen bag of chicken breasts he likes. They are so big tht we half one of those once a week, but I want to have the leg quarter that day to eat with my dressing. He will eat his salad, corn and fruit. I will have some veggie and sugar free jello and that will be it for us. No desserts.

I did manage to eat only 2 meals today. However, I did have a sugar free hot chocolate this evening. I think my calories were 1220 today so that was good.

Talked to DS tonight and she is doing great. I told her that I am so proud of her. She had her infusion today and is due a CT scan sometime soon. Doctor told her that since we are on immune treatment, we don't have to worry about being around people. He said don't purposely go around sick people, but not to worry about it. That is good to know. She told him she itches a lot and he said that is good too because that means the treatment is working. I've never told them I itch because I didn't associate it with the treatment.

I've been sleeping good at night and wake up ready to get up. Hope I can keep doing that.

Tomorrow the guy is supposed to come to install the garage door opener. DH said if anyone is handy. at things like that and needs a job they could get work because there seems to be a shortage of peiple to install them. I just hope this guy is able to do this tomorrow. I dont want DH trying to do it and its hard to get his son to find time to help him. DH has always helped everyone when they need things done. The younger people have a busy schedule. They have overtime available to them and thats big money! So they work all the overtime they can get.

I dont know who is paying this guy to do this because Home Depot says they refunded the charge for installation when DH said he would take it with him and find someone to install it. Neither his son or son in law offered to help. That makes me angry,but he doesnt want me to say anything.

Carol Sue I hope the guy comes and is able to install the garage opener. It is difficult when you were the handy man. DH was a handy man for years and would go to help his DD first hubby do things around the house cause he knew how to do all that. Our hubbies grew up when they learned from their Dad's how to do everything to fix things around the house including their cars. Kids don't know how to do that anymore. I found it interesting that his SIL would help DH but didn't do a lot of work. When it came to doing things around our house that we needed help with it was DD who came not her hubby. The sad thing about all the tech improvements. a lot has also been lost.

Weight stayed the same 159.8 lb. and bp and fbs is good. I want the bs lower, but it is under 110 and that is good these days. I haven't said anything but I got my lab results from oncology and everything is still improving but the CA 125 that they test is inching up. That is the number they watch that can mean the tumor is growing. However, it isn't extremely high as it was in the beginning. I honestly believe it is the little bit of sugar I had been eating. You know they told me "sugar feeds cancer" is a myth. Now I am wondering if they are wrong. There are oncologists who believe it does and they may be the ones who are right. I told DH that I think I may have to go back on low carb. I don't think some of the carbs I eat are a problem, but no sweets any more and I may even have to give up the fruit I was eating.

I'm going to get the foods I need for our Thanksgiving dinner. I've decided I want to see DS for Thanksgiving but I also want her DD who lives in Michigan who will be her the day after so I will go see them the day after Thanksgiving. Today will be McD CB and I will bring mine home and switch the bread to SLMG bread. Yesterday worked good. I am going to do all my exercises plus the walking because I won't have time to exercise Friday cause infusion is early in the day.

Have a good day.

Twrrible day. DH started getting a col yesterday and feels terrible. He says its not covid and will notctest. Even if the test is positive he woyld say its wrong. He coughed and sneezed all night, spreading his germs all over me,so give me a few,days and I wull be sick.

we got up early because the garage guy was coming,but still not here at noon. We think he sill not come. I finally fell asleep fot 5 hours. No scale.

I hope you are not feeding the tumor. Is there any other way they can check? You are in my prayers.

I cooked my own eggs this morning, not as good as DH makes. Just ok. I will have to make something for dinner. I dont know what he will eat. I am tired and dont feel like cooking.

Trish,I also use baby carrots for some things and have half a bag. They are included in the recall but it only says organic. Doesnt matter. DH threw everything out. Everything in the bin. Celery, radishes,rutabaga. I have to buy all new. I never buy organic. I read that it has more nutrients. Many people buy only organic thinking its better. But its on recall not regular.

The garage dooe guy never showed up and its 3:15 now.

Carol Sue So sorry to hear that the repair never showed up. I hope he show up in the next few days. I am also sorry your DH is sick. I hope he gets well soon and you don't get whatever he has.

I had a good day. I did have to drink a protein shake to get my protein in. I think when I lower my carbs I will have to drink the protein drink each day to keep my protein where it needs to be.

Going to bed soon.

DH is going to call Home Depot again because the guy never showed up at all.

I slept long and good last night. I didnt wake up for the bathroom until 5 am then fell back to sleep until 9:30. Scale is up .2 to 182.8. That wasnt supposed to happen!😩

D H is still sick. I bumped him a couple times during the night and woke him up and he really needs sleep to get better. Poorguy. I know I will get it. I always catch his colds. He has a cough and runny nose, sneezing, but no fever.

Carol Sue I hope he gets better and you don't get it. Perhaps it is allergies rather than cold. My allergies act up when the weather starts changing. My doctor told me to take Zyrtec and I think it helps. Strange thing is that I started taking 2 a day when I got sick and just kept taking it. Then I decided a few weeks ago to cut back to one a day. I've been itching terribly, but it isn't always at the same place. DS told me that she has been itching and has a rash and our oncologist told her "Good that means the treatment is working". He told her to take Zyrtec instead of the Allegra she was taking and gave her a prescription for the rash. I get a rash once in a while but I have stuff to put on it and it goes away immediately. I found that to be interesting that it all means my treatment is working.

I just remembered you asked me if they have another way to check my progress when the CA 125 is inching up. Yes, in fact, that is why they do a CT Scan every 3 months. So far the scans have shown the tumor was not growing. I think I'm due another scan in December or January. I am changing my woe trying to keep my carbs and proteins under 100 g. I am going to start using EVOO and ACV in my salads.

Weight this morning is inching down and was down .4 lbs to 159.4 this morning. FBG 105 and BP 111/69. So all is good.

Hope you get someone out there to fix the garage opener.

Lisa Hope you are doing well.

Have a good day everyone.

At this point we can forget the garage door opener. Today DH called the woman who called us about the guy coming yesterday. When the guy was on the way he got a call that we cancelled.We cancelled with Home Depot because they said they couldnt get anyone until 4 weeks. So he cant do it because he has a contract with Home Depot. DH is going to ask step son to help him. This is a nightmare, especialy with winter coming!

I think DH will be sick for a few more days. If I dont get it, it will be a miracle.

I dug thru the freezer looking for something for dinner. I found one steak which I cooked for DH and liver which I cooked for me. I made mashed potatoes and green peas with it. I never get to eat liver because DH wont eat it. He used too but quit after the kids left. I will have to look in the downstairs freezer to see what else is there. Its a small freezer and the turkey is taking up most of the room.

Hey Trish, hey Carol. I'm here reading your posts.

Carol, I'm sorry about your garage door opener situation. Those are so handy, it's disappointing that it's turned into a hassle. I hope you stay well and DH improves..

Trish, it sounds like you'll be traveling a bit for Thanksgiving. Where are you located??

I'm sorry my posts are so short. I'm typing on my phone and it's harder than a lap top. I don't want my short posts to annoy you both. Not to mention my typing on my phone us really bad. I have terribly fat finger tips. I'm not exaggerating either.

I let my sugar get too low tonight. I had to eat, it's an awful feeling. I keep pop just for these situations when I need sugar fast.

Good news/Bad news here. The good news is,step son is coming on Sunday to help install the garage door opener. He says he installed his by himself.DH should be better by then. Bad news,my throat is sore. DH kept me up half the night. He is terrible when hes sick. He wants attentuon all the time. Me, I just want to be left alone to rest and drink my fluids. I give it til Friday that Ill be full blown sick. Blood sugar was only 93 this morning. Its never that good! Usually 150 or above. Its supposed to be higher if you are sick. Scale is down .8 to 182.0.

Lisa know how hard it is to type on a phone. I'm on a 10 inch tablet, a Kindle Fire. So try to post,but dont worry if its short. Trish and I have been here alone for so long that we write books, short stories. We get visitors once in a while but I think we chase them away with out long drawn out posts. According to the view count we do have lots of lurkers! When i joined here,there were lots of posters.

Lisa,I forget. Are you on insulin? I heard only people on Insulin get low blood sugar. I might have been low once or twice and DH always has lots of candy. The 2 times I thought i was low could have been a meter error. I didnt have symptoms just a low reading. One time it read 44, but i think I would have been comatose. I always test before taking my pills to be sure i dont go low, and with my bad habit of always eating, its hardly possible. Also,I noticed that you called it "pop." You are from this area,nearby. What do they call it in the NW? Trish probably calls it soda. Pop is a local term. I only keep diet pop in the house except for when we get company around the holidays. DH doesnt drink anything carbonated. I love carbonated!

By the way, if I get sick I dont know how I will bake the pies,coughing and sneezing. Cant buy them because we dont like them spicy. I make my mothers recipe which is rather bland,and my family is used to that and likes them like that. Last year there were outsiders at Thanksgiving and they probably wondered why the pies were so bland.

Lisa I have a stylus on my pc to use when texting. Also carry one in my purse for typing on the phone. My fingertips are too big to type on a cell phone.

Carol Sue I'm glad your stepson can help his Dad with the installation of the door opener. I saw this morning that rain and snow/ice may be coming your way in the near future. I hope they get it fixed before then.

Yes, I say soda. When I was a kid it was called soda water or soda pop, but somewhere along the way it became soda. I drink diet soda.

Weight stayed the same 159.4 lbs. I actually when it does that. To me that is real loss. My FBG was 106. BP was a little high but we had sodium foods yesterday.

I tried something this morning that I had seen on line for breakfast. I cooked 1/3 c old fashioned oats with apple and cinnamon. Then I cooked 2 eggs and 2 slices of bacon and mixed it together. It was really good. I didn't put any sweetener or Greek yogurt in it because I eat my yogurt for dessert at second meal of the day. But it will be easy to get used to because it has the eggs and bacon in it. I want the oats to control my cholesterol.

We are having fish today. I have one more swai fillet and will have that with salad and a veggie. I have to remember that I bought frozen zucchini and yellow squash. I am trying to get back to eating more veggies.

Carol Sue I am praying you don't get sick. Will you stay home TD if you are sick?

Y'all have a great day.

IMy sore thoat is going away. Thats how it works with me. Starts with a sore throat that goes,away and becomes a head cold. Runny nose and sneezing not much coughing. Nothing comes out when I blow my nose. My eyes are watery. Just feel tired and yuk. We went to Bob Evans and bought a quart of chicken noodle soup to bring home. Then to Walmart to get DHs cough drops. I bought some protein shakes as I only have 2 left. Im not eating enough protein for healing.

Now Im getting really cold. Our temps are dropping and we are due for long ght snow. More farther north.

I've had my shower and washed my hair since I have to get up at 7 am. I will take my protein shake with me to while waiting to get my infusion started. I don't usually drink coffee before I go but probably will tomorrow since it's going to be cold when we leave. I hope my new sweatshirt will be warm enough so I don't have to wear a coat. DH will have to go to Sam's on the way home and we will get Chinese food on the way home.

Carol Sue Chicken noodle soup is always what I want when I am sick. Nothing else tests as good to me when I'm sick. Adding the protein drink is a good thing to add to it.

It is only 7:30 here and I am ready to go to bed, but too early. I'm trying to stay awake but keep dozing off.
