Activity

Yesterday was AWESOME! I took the train to DC, spent all day wandering around the museum. It was just so wonderful. A lot of things that were hard to look at/hear but still a good trip.

Food was sketchy.

I had a breakfast sandwich for breakfast

A slice of pizza for lunch

And I had the insides of a gyro for dinner.

I walked a lot but I haven’t…[Read more]

Today is still overcast and cold. While I hate to get out, since I didn’t go to the grocery store yesterday like I was going to, I have to go today.

Today will mainly be a day of catching up with my house work. Definitely not my favorite thing!

Breakfast was a hot protein shake

Lunch will be leftover roasted chicken and veggies

Dinner will be…[Read more]

Here’s how food shook out for me:

-breakfast sandwich

-green salad w/seafood

-a few bites of mashed cauliflower w/added protein

-a handful of pretzels

I thought I ate a lot today but typing it out, maybe not so much…

It’s still cold and damp here, but at least the rain has stopped! Today is my support group meeting so I’m about to head to Temple. When I get home, I will be making a very quick trip to the grocery store. (I’m working on making hubby’s lunches healthier)

Breakfast was scrambled eggs and sausage

Lunch will be deli ham, cheese crisps and some…[Read more]

Meal planning is going really well. Tonight is leftover night which works out well for me as today is my support group meeting. Actually, at the moment, I’m in the process of getting ready to leave.

I know how this feels. That’s what happened with my alopecia. Wasn’t caught in time and is now irreversible.

I do think you need some time and space to focus on your health stuff. Is there anybody at all who can help with your MIL so that you have some room to do that?

Mid-week sweep!

Did you get to that meeting? And how’s the meal planning going?

Sorry I’ve been so absent. I got slammed at work. But I’m BACK!

Ok, it’s been a sh** week for me. First, I finally have a diagnosis why my right hand is extremely weak and a significant amount of atrophy in the muscle (ongoing for many years progressively getting worse). The clinical term for it is cubital tunnel syndrome, which means the nerves in my elbow are being “pinched” . Ok, I thought great, now what…[Read more]

Did I mention that today I was DYIIIIIING? OMG.

Long story short (and TMI) cramps since my mastectomy have been horrible. I never had them before. Now I get migraines, random weepy days, super-cramps and, just for fun, occasionally a hot flash.

Lovely.

So today was a super-cramp day. And I mean it was bad. I was up most of the night because I…[Read more]

Wow. That’s a lot, Maria!

Well first, I agree with your therapist. Good for you for letting yourself have a good, old-fashioned cry!

And also I’m so glad you’re having a relaxation day. Those can be lifelines in the middle of a sea of stress.

I’m so happy to see your post. <3

Last night was one of those nights that I just couldn’t sleep. So as soon as my husband was out the door, I went back to bed for a couple of hours. Now, I’m about to head to the grocery store and to pick up my husband’s jacket that he left at our son’s house last night.

My husband had his “one on one” interview yesterday and it appears that it…[Read more]

Wow! You’ve really been through the wringer lately! I so glad that you’re taking today for yourself. You really deserve it. I hope you start feeling better soon and I’ll be praying for you!
