Hi Ladies- Hope things are going okay! This thread has gone quite the last couple of days. I am hanging in there and recently showed some weight loss and am hoping it continues. I miss hearing from Mad as well.

Pipsicle, its good to see you stop in now and then. We like hearing how youre doing, and knowing youre still working on it is always good.
Yesterday I weighed later in the day and weight was down to 176.6. this morning it was 178.0. i will get weighed later to see if it is lower. I know we are supposed to get weighed the same time every day.
We got very little snow from the east coast blizzard. only 1or2 inches yesterday which melted when the temperature went up and 1 more inch overnight last night.
Pipsicle It nice to hear from you. It is true this thread does become quiet. I guess Carol Sue like me has kind of lost interest in it as she doesn't check in much anymore and I don't have enough going on to check in either. Sad to say that I've often thought of not checking in anymore.
Weight seems to be in low 160s ... 163.4 lbs this morning. FBG was 122. Not much happening here. I am back to all my exercises again. Doing about 50 minutes 4 days a week which does help keep the FBG in a fairly good range. So can't complain about that. The exercises also helps me to feel good and feel good about myself. I'm eating good too and need to cut back on some of that. As far as I know I have just 2 more chemo treatments. Not sure what they do after that. It is my prayer that I will be cancer free by then.

GOOD AFTERNOON! I hope everyone is well. im scared to death about this attack on Iran. i pray that they dont retaliate on us.
i just got weighed and it seems I weigh less in the afternoon than morning. Today at 3 pm i was 179.6 after 180.4 twodays ago. I cannot give up no matter what. it is just not in my DNA to quit.
This morning DH bought breakfast from McDonalds. I ate scrambled eggs, hash browns and half a biscuit. I did not eat the sausage. And 2 cupss of coffee.
I had no lunch. DH bought ground beef to make hamburgers but I dont want one. I will make a cold sandwich with deli meat. This will be dinner.
last week I cooked a pork loin roast and it was good. DH will want meat loaf this week because we have fresh ground beef. I need to get back to cooking again.
Yesterday we went to the casino. we ate dinner there and I had the salmon bowl again. so giod. after that I was xxx eating chocolate candy in the casino and I think the chocolate on top of my dinner made me sick. i felt like I was going to throw up but I didnt. I felt fine by the time I went to bed and slept well. I didnt get up until 9 AM but then I fell asleep in my recliner and took a short nap.
Trish I hope you are feeling good and I continue to pray for your treatment to be successful. I know God hears our prayers.
Last night at the casino DH won $2600. This is his highest win ever. He was betting $2.70 but increased to $4.05 and thats when the 3 7's came up. We were very happy.
Hope everyone has a good weekend. we are having a warm weekend in the 50s but snow is coming back next week. Spring is coming next month and summer is not far behind.

Ive been having trouble with my cellnphone lately so i just ordered a new one. For some reason it keeps losing its color and everything goes black and white. DH never liked it because it does not have a loud ringtone. I ordered a Samsung which I've had before. I Hope I like it. The one I have now is a Motorola. The thing I like about it is if you shake it 3 times the flashlight comes on.

I did not get weighed today. I think my brain is avoiding the scale.
I spent a good bitnof the day paying bills. I hate that, but it has to be done. I ordered 2 pairs of shoes on the 23rd. and they never came. Today I saw that they were billed and on my credit card. So I have that to straighten out.

Today the scale said 179.4, down .2. Down is down, Ill take it. i weighed at 4pm.
I planned on starting exercise this weeo but did not. Yesterday I paid bills and that stressed me out. also im waiting for a reply from the company I bought the shoes from.
Can't believe it has been so long since I posted here. I feel like I've been through the ringer. I was doing so well and suddenly it was like I hit a wall. My care team has been great through this. I haven't checked anything in a couple of weeks. Weight this morning was 162.8 lbs and FBG 149. So everything about the same. Will try to get back to some sort of a routine.
I read about side effects of meds I'm on and on oncology site and didn't anything about constipation so wondering what is causing it. It does mention diarrhea, but not what I've gone through so will be checking out more on the meds and supplements that I take to see where this coming from.

I dont understand. Ive been posting every day but when I come back nothing is here. Is anyine seeing my posts? I see nothing after Trizhs post of 3/5/26.
Did not weigh today.
My neighbor across the street who had the bad heart valve procedure went back to the hospital today. She was only home for 1-2 weeks. Shes 90. Im scared for her.
We are due foer a bad storm today. The last one never came. Hope this one misses us too.
Carol Sue I haven't been seeing your posts either. I thought maybe no one was interested in this anymore so haven't been posting anymore. I just want to keep it going by myself.

I didnt weigh today. I think its too late now. DH rushed me out the door to Walmart before i had a chance.
His brother has Shingles. He is in a lot of pain but wont take anything. He told DH "You dont know what this is like. ". thats not true because we both had it. My doctor would not give me an excuse so I had to go to work with it. Then when I went to work they said I was contageous and should stay home. But I could not stay home without an excuse from the doctor. Its very painful . His doctor said he had to be seen in the office to be prescribed pain meds and they didnt have an appointment until April. It will be gone by then.
Trish,I hope you are feeling better and your treatment is going well.

I didnt weigh yet today. if I do, ill come back and report.
My first pair of shoes came today. So i guess this company is not a rip off. The second pair was to be shipped a week later. I tried them on but could not get them on,but I didn't have socks on which would help thrm slide on better. I hope the other pair come because they are blue and were my first choice. The ones that came today are tan/brown. They are just very slow on shipping.
Carol Sue If you are going to post, I will too. I've been trying to get into a routine. Maybe I will get back to it this coming week as I have chemo infusion Tuesday. This will be infusion #5 and I will have one more after it. This will be a busy month. I have infusion Tuesday, then DH and I have lab with primary doc the following week on Wednesday and then we see him on April 1st.
I'm doing pretty well except that I'm working on healing a bedsore. DN came over last Sunday and told me zinc oxide is the best thing for healing a bedsore. I think it is better but does take time to heal. Otherwise I'm doing well.
I had shingles too and it wasn't pleasant. DH and I have had both the vaccines hoping to never have them again.
