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!

This post is quite lengthy and I don’t expect everyone to read it all the way through. I also realize my problems are insignificant to those with much larger ones. However, I need to vent and this is something I need to do this for myself!!

Recap of last couple of months. Began watching my grandson everyday after school and it’s been quite a few…[Read more]

Oh that was CUTE!

My Halloween was pretty uneventful. I worked. Came home. The kid and I watched The Addams Family and Gremlins. Last year we got zero trick-or-treaters so I didn’t buy candy this year and guess what? Kids came to our door! I felt bad but oh well. I guess maybe next year I’ll get a small stash of Tootsie Rolls (which I personally…[Read more]
