@Flowergirl I fell asleep early last night. Is there anyway to have a better forum for the chat? More real time? There's such a delay in being able to 'chat'. Just a thought0

Good evening everyone - welcome @chaoskitty
How has everyone been spending their time getting through the February cold snap? I have been able to skate a few times - fresh air is lovely - when you are dressed for it of course!

I'm also hoping to attend a local education series on pelvic health in March and will post the details I learn about that.
On another note, anyone try hemp hearts - shelled - they taste like sunflower / pumpkin seeds crushed - they are my latest fav and you can add them to anything - salads, smoothies in cookies... they are nut free and have lots of protein.

Yes- this weather started to get to me today - on the plus side, when it is too cold I tackle the indoor to do list - this weekend we painted - anything to keep busy and productive - also helps to stay in the moment and banish the worries!
Anyone else have a coping technique that is their go to?0 -
Hello @Luci22 @cavy @Courtenay - how are you doing this evening and I hope you have had a chance to go around the site and view the topics - we are at three pages now.1

Hi All,
I think I am too late for this evenings chat. I have definitely been watching a lot of the Olympic events. I love most of them and especially the womens events. Love the nordic skiing the most. I also have been feeling a bit of cabin fever but it won't be long until we are able to enjoy some outside activities.
I am having my seventh and last chemo tomorrow and it will be nice to have a break.
Thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences and what you have been doing to get through our Canadian winter.
Go Canada!0 -
Hi @Flowergirl.... I'm doing well, thanks. Had treatment #2 on Feb 7...took about 8 days to feel "normal", but I feel great now. Little tired after work but I just rest instead of push myself.
After chemo, I find that if I just eat small bits of food, the nausea isn't bad, eating more toast and cereal than ever in my life, but it sits better than my usual eggs. I eat cottage cheese mixed with a bit of applesauce, very tasty and get some protein. I didn't take any of the anti nausea prescription meds last time, zantac and ginger chews as needed. Tons of water and gingerbread spice tea. Hope that helps if anyone is having trouble eating after treatment.

I'm glad you were able to join us @chaoskitty and @KarenMari53... wishing you well with your treatments and hope to see you around the site.
Look forward to meeting you back here on Tuesday, February 27 @ 7:00 PM CST0 -
Damn I missed chat again. I decided to defy the cold, bundle up and go for a walk after supper.0
