  1. I have a feeling I've messed this game up - so not being a stick and taking away I'm guessing I would be -2
  2. -2 am I doing this right
  3. Congrats on making it to the Lido deck!!! Hope you celebrate your day as you most definitely earned it!
  4. I wouldn't think so either Linda. Doing my research it seems most Dr's are now more pro than anything. I will say I don't feel as fatigued as I had the past few days which is great! That lack of sleep wasn't helping either so hopefully it will get all turned around. I'm sure I'll have the days that hit me harder than others but at least now I know what to expect now and how to manage it. One day at a time. Alright so Team Deadpool back in action! We took a nice 20 min walk this morning - not bad for our 1st day. I'm definitely taking some 1lb weights to carry tomorrow, keep those legs and arms in action!! Her hip was giving her problems near the end so we might take it a bit slower tomorrow. Every day is progress. I figured today I would just pace myself. Rest when needed and be active when I can. Be smart and listen to my body. Starting to re-think a few things I did on impulse such as the wigs. I don't really need that 2nd wig at all. That was definitely an impulse order. Since I haven't done the try on yet it hasn't been billed to my insurance she can return it and I can save the benefit for later in the year if I decide. Just trying to be smarter on some of my decisions and not go off emotions wrapped up in the moment. So here's to the rest of the day and what it might bring. No big plans today so I'll just take it by the seat of the pants and see where it takes me!
  5. Glad you stuck with it your body will thank you! This board is a great resource for all things QUIT. Don't worry about weight gain at the start you can always lose that later.
  6. Today my neighbor and I started our 6: 30 AM walking ritual - we went 6 blocks (3 there and back) and was a good 20min walk for our 1st time. Came home and drank a protein shake to help me maintain the weight. So glad we started this. I might even add 1lb arm weights for tomorrows walk.
  7. And that's pretty much how the day went lol! Grease has been on and even though I've seen it a million times I could watch it a million more. I do think the CBD helped. I used to smoke weed recreationally and of course it always gave me a good sleep and chilled me out lol. So I did have her pick me up a bottle that way I can have 1 to take at night and then 1/4 or 1/2 the dose for my anxiety during the day as I ween off the Xanax. Also doing my rabbit hole researching found that there is no interaction between the Tagrisso and medical marijuana so then dug into the case studies and basically it came down to nothing but beneficial. And being in the state of Fl. I'm eligible to obtain my card based on my dx. Of course I plan to let my Dr. know, not sure if he'll be pro or con but again that's where I get to step in as my own 'patient advocate' and make my own decision and not be denied treatment. Again it's just something that makes sense vs taking a bunch of synthetics for this or that when there's something natural that will do it all. I reached out to my neighbor today who went through it with breast cancer and she was so glad I did and I am too. I really needed someone close to talk to and apparently she had been waiting for me to reach out. We talked for a good hour or so and I just felt so much better afterwards. It helps when someone 'gets it'. She's also retired and the caretaker for her husband (dementia and dialysis) so she's been feeling isolated and lonely and would enjoy spending time with someone. So we agreed we'd support each other. Starting tomorrow we are going to start a ritual of walking every AM before it gets too hot. We both need the exercise and now have a buddy to do it with. Then in the afternoons her H doesn't have treatments or my family isn't here we'll get together and play board games or cards. She's a big scrabble fan so that works for me and helps keep the mind sharp. But I think all and all we were both relieved to know that were not alone in our situations and that two are better than one and we can encourage each other. Hopefully tonight I sleep good. I hope everyone has a goodnight and remember NOPE!!! We can do this!!
  8. Congratulations on your 8 months! Hope you got to celebrate!!
  9. Oh it's hit alright. I know today is going to be another chill day for me I'm finally going to listen to my body and just rest. I'm curious to know what other side effects I'll have. I know everyone reacts differently but they said to expect this 'dip' around the third and 4th week and then around week 6 should start coming back up and feeling better. Glad to know it wont last forever. That pill did seem to work. I think last night was the longest I've slept yet! And I probably would have slept longer had the pups not woken me up. I'm definitely going to take another one tonight. But for now just checking in before I go hit my recliner.
