My travel insurance approved my claim! We will get 75 percent of our trip price back. It was a very expensive trip, so this is very good news. I have successfully made sourdough bread again. ...

The results of my CT scan showed no sign of cancer. None at all, not even in the lymph nodes. I will continue to be monitored every quarter and continue on my anti hormone pills. I am more tha...

I finally get the results of my scan. This is the first time they didn’t put the results in the portal before my appointment. Wonder if that is significant? I know from the way I feel that so...

Today is my first post surgery CT scan. Y’all, I really hate needles! I am a “hard stick” and it’s always a challenge for the person on the other side of the IV and for me. I guess I will get...

I have a CT scan scheduled for next week to rule out a tumor. I hate needles & IV’s and all of that because I have tiny, invisible veins. Those that stick me hate it too. I have decided I...

This will be one of the few Thanksgiving’s that I haven’t cooked. We have reservations at a golf club for a buffet lunch. My son is coming from New Braunsfel and his son is coming from his Mom...

Today was the best day since surgery! I was able to move better - do stuff. I washed the kitchen sinks out and cleaned the countertops and the top of the stove. I was able to start picking up...

I am 6 weeks post op today. They said it would take 6 - 8 weeks to heal. I am better, but not healed yet. I am going to start working on my stamina. Need to be able to walk a distance. Tr...

Today i drove myself (nearby) with my pillow guarding my stomach to get my nails done. Just a little trip out of the house two days in a row made a big difference in my perspective. Gary cut u...

I made it to church today. Even wore a pair of zip up jeans. I was a little wobbly, but I am recovering from the surgery. Finally, feeling progress. Hope those HRT pills are doing their job....

129.6 this morning. I haven’t weighed in m the 120’s since I was in my twenties. I have no appetite. Yesterday I did manage 2 yogurts and that is really good for me. Please don’t recommend p...

Be too skinny! I never thought I would be, but here I am. I look horrible. I haven’t gotten up for the day, but I will in a minute. Yesterday I weighed 133. Wonder how much today? I didn...

Forgot to push publish yesterday. Today I have kept down a yogurt and an ice cream sandwich. Not testing anything else. Got my mail in ballot and completed it. Two weeks ago was my surgery.

Today was a down day. I have only kept down 3 crackers and a little water. That’s with the nausea meds. My brother texted me bright and early to see if I was up and getting ready for church. ...

I have a bed sore on my behind. Ordered topical and bandages from Amazon. Should be on the porch in the morning. Feeling nauseous tonight. Hope I can sleep. I guess this is going to be wher...

Not that I really had a bunch. My husband and I have been together almost 30 years and there were just a couple of bodily functions I had kept to myself. No longer. He has seen and heard ever...

I am getting around pretty good. A week makes a world of difference. I am able to shower normally, walk around the house, etc. I am not supposed to actually “do” anything. I am already bored...

They treated me as though I were elderly. Prior to all this mess I went to the Y 4 days a week. I am a proportional height and weight. There is nothing about me that reads elderly. They aske...
