I'm still on the beach but started 4th round of Xeloda and Avastin yesterday so...again headaches ! Hope gets better as I pretend boating on Saturday!.
What about you mates?
Hey Pepe, I haven't been able to post on your thread in quite a while now, but we may actually have a nice weekend in Rhode Island if Rick is up to it. He was in the hospital for a few days this week for another blockage issue, but he had a pretty good day today. So, If there's no problems, we'll spend the entire weekend at the ocean.
You know, I just now thought of another post that I had read that said "You know you're a caregiver when...". I'll complete the sentence with "when you check the driving distance from the hotel to a hospital!". Yes....I really did that. ;-)
I hope that your headache is better soon - and enjoy the beach!! :-)
I was going to spend the weekend resting up here at home, but now I'm thinking I might need to go to the ER tonight. I'm on a Z-pack for the infection in my lungs, but coughing a lot more today than yesterday and my temp is spiking up on me. If they admit me, I'll have my laptop so will be able to update.
Went to the ER last night and it's pneumonia. The doc asked where I'd be more comfortable ("I dunno, doc, that iron maiden looks cozy") so I opted to come home to recoup.
We have a summer Opera company - the Glimmerglass Festival - which is quite high end; 4 productions each summer (about 40 performances - 10 of each.) This year, I got to two of them: Lost in the Stars (Kurt Weill) and Aida (Verdi). Both were wonderful, with top opera stars.
And then I rounded out my weekend with kayaking, sailing and swimming.
No big plans this weekend. Will try to have some family over for a bbq on Sunday. Can't believe the summer is almost over. Pray for everyone has a good weekend.. jeff
Hi,
Well, we just dropped our daughter off at the airport for her first year of college. That is our big weekend news. My heart goes with her. She is a love. I am so very, very grateful that Dick has been here with me through her graduation and now sending her off.
I think I need some ocean time to heal my heart a bit.
Rain and wind here so trips to the beach will be in raincoats and wellies for us.
Will try to get out for a cycle with the kids (thinking of the things that one legged life will rule out for a time) and get some garden time in between showers.
Still in post-Olympic blues here and the country feels a bit lost as to what to do with itself! Bring on the paralympics- start next week.
...sounds like a nice place to relax. We will be heading north to the mountains to look over the beautiful scenery. It's always refreshing to go back to the place I call my home away from home.
Thinking of all my csn friends and sending peaceful thoughts your way. Hope you all can have a relaxing weekend.
sooo sorry about your headaches.....that hot weather is hard on you I am sure.....feel better.
going to a party in the country on saturday where we will feast on fresh produce.....field tomatoes, basil, corn on the cob and barbequed chicken....and and vhino verde...
cheers pepe////
sorry out of the loop here.....how can I celebrate Jennie....???? is there a communal toast here....??? can someone let me know please.....
Are the bears already at their caves?LOL.I see you informed about sad news ( Jennie and Cheryl ), unfortunately I can't inform you about jennies celebration as I'm here so no football match!.Marie ,lovekitties, has the timetable in different coasts islands and countries so she will inform you better than anybody .I'm so happy to see you back since I miss so many old friends, despite of the many new and very kind and helpful people.
Hugs my very dear friend !
We are going to stock our RV since we are going camping for Labor Day. Most of everything is in there clothes, spices, toiletries, shoes, etc., the only thing we need to bring is food, even got a washer/dryer if I'm feeling like being domesticated :) This weekend we have a church picnic (not our main church but a secondary) so were kind of crashing it LOL. Also going to see a movie. Hope you enjoy the beech and hoping that you feel better soon.
My headache comes Monday, next Folfox treatment, so I know how you feel Pepe. This weekend we rented "The Hunger Games" going to watch that tonight. Going to relax this weekend and spend time with my husband and twin boys. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Sandy
it start in your sinus area as as well?.lots of nose leaking and mucosity ?.Well hope you deal with that as best you can Sandy on the meantime enjoy and rest dear Sandy.
Hugs my friend !
Pepe, I hope your headaches get better sooner rather than later. Enjoy your pretend boating! I'm going to refinish some furniture in our mother-in-law room. She'll be visiting soon.........
No specific plans this weekend, hoping to sleep in a bit in the morning...we will see how that goes..you would think with no kids at home anymore one could sleep in but...with a husband who rises by 5 am every morning and doesn't like burning "daylight"...8 am is late to him! :)
Hope your headache feels better very soon! and everyone has a fantastic weekend.
Turned 46 Saturday, did the rivet cruise.
Met some amazing doctors. The conference is more than I imagined.
Flying home in 12 hours.
It's a beautiful city with some warm and friendly people.
Hugs,
Pete
Ps so I paid for everything on the MasterCard, expecting no freebies. When I arrive one of the staff says the ceo Andy, has allowed me to attend the conference for free. Just the best birthday present, such a nice surprise.
It is raining here today - so no baseball for us. I am making some banana bread this afternoon and watching old movies. Oh...and working on another needlework project.
Yesterday Bill and I went to the farmers' market in the morning and then did a little bit of shopping. I got a new dress! In the afternoon I went to a yard sale and an open house for a friend's business. Last night Bill and I joined friends for dinner and a movie. Today, we went to church!
I'm resting the rest of the day!! Just piddling around the house.
