Hello Ladies,

  What is keeping you busy this afternoon? Today we are experiencing some flurries. Really wish Mother Nature would warm the weather up some and get rid of this cold stuff.

Some of you are awaiting results.....any answers lately? Still waiting? How is treatment going? Any decision making going on that you would like to share?

I have been feeling pretty yucky today. Having another episode with partial bowel obstruction. So take meds and wait is all I can do. Frustrating it is in the meantime. Feeling bloated, nauseated and pains in abdomen are the main symptoms. I have taken my Dex and Halidol to help with it. Lets hope it kicks in soon. I would like to feel better than what I am.  How is anyone else feeling out there today?

Let me know. I will be on for a bit  today and then will log off at normal time.

Take care

Sorry to hear you're dealing with another episode! Hope your meds have kicked in by now.

I've been missing these Teal Thursdays lately…just busy.

I have been painting the main floor of our house. It started with the stairwell and snowballed from there. I have been fixing things as I move along (caulking, shoe moulding, etc.). I am pretty much done…just have to do the doors. The exteriors need new weather stripping and sanding so I'm waiting for nicer weather to do those. I have two French doors inside…that means taping 80 little windows before I paint them 🤣. I love doing this stuff and will have a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when I'm done. However, now that I'm getting ready to get organized and put things back in place, I realize that I have some major purging to do…one thing leads to another! We have plans to paint the upper staircase…but that's a whole other project!!

My chemo holiday is coming to an end. I have a scan next week and am interested in seeing what three months without treatment looks like!! A little anxiety but my painting has definitely been a wonderful distraction. I see my Oncologist the following week to discuss next steps. I haven't missed the travel back and forth to Toronto at all! Although I do miss the social interaction at the Lodge. 

I feel okay and have pretty good energy…I stick with a modified time schedule to ensure I don't over do it. I haven't noticed any new symptoms. Although I have been fortunate to have been asymptomatic throughout my six-year journey…just having to deal with the med side effects which have been pretty minimal.

Like you, I'm ready for Mother Nature to turn the thermostat up…enough already!!

Hey @Strongwoman and @GloHo sorry I missed hopping on yesterday. I was having my CT scan done during the normal Teal Thursday chat time. I didn't get home until later in the afternoon. Now I wait for results. Nervous. Yes. Hopeful. Always. @Strongwoman I'm sorry you are having another episode. It sounds awful but I'm glad it doesn't require hospitalization. I hope there will be some sunshine to warm your soul. @GloHo I'll be thinking of you next week with your upcoming scan and wishing for nothing but positive news from the chemo holiday. 

I'm still in Florida. My Dad is getting better but has some side complications from his lung cancer surgery so I'm still in help mode. Between my parents, they have so many medical appointments that it's nice to be able to help. My hubby and I are wheels up back to Canada in a few weeks so I'm concentrating my time on helping my parents get as far along as possible with their health as I can at this point. There is positive progress so that's good. We also moved them into independent living on March 1st and they are settling in nicely there. It's fabulous that all their maintenance and food is pretty much taken care of now and there's so much social interaction it's great. A must as we age.

I am watching the temperatures back north. Hoping that the snow finally disappears and that the spring warmth starts to creep in. I'm in Southwestern Ontario (I live at Long Point if anyone knows that area). The Point as we affectionally call it, is one of the richest bird migratory areas on the continent. It will be full mating season when we return and with 300+ species of birds migrating through our area, the morning sounds are glorious! The bird poop, not so much but the birds add so much joy to our area.

Talk soon and have a nice weekend everyone.

Boy, you have your hands full!! Hope you are able to get some rest for yourself. It sounds like your Dad is doing ok. Will the side complications delay his return home? The social aspect of living in an independent community will be wonderful for your parents. That they are settling in must be a great relief for you.

I am in St Thomas and would love to get the 411 on the bird migration at Long Point. We have been meaning to head to Port Stanley for the swans and hawks but we keep missing it!! Would you mind messaging me with some general details regarding the migration? It would be a great day trip for us!
