Hearing aides adjusted and hearing tested. The left one is still going but the right is holding its own. Just a little bit more dip in my right hearing. Though the lady said that wax build up in the right might be the cause of some of that.

Ach, I need hearing aids.
My hearing was going before dx, but since chemo it's gotten worse.
I've lost a lot of the higher frequencies, so I miss a lot of the "frictives" - f, s, k, p, b, t... it frustrates us all.

Hubby has a hearing aid for one ear bc he's almost deaf there, bc of Meniere's. But it seems HIS hearing is getting worse, too! We have to practically shout at him and speak slowly and distinctly. Yanno, like ppl have to do with me.

But here in the States they're SO expensive.
$2000+!

Post-surgery is ... interesting. Many limitations: No dishwashing, vacuuming, hairbrushing I (like I have any!), dusting, food prep etc and no lifting. That doesn't leave much!

Special tight bra, drain tubes and catch bottles are a marvel of engineering, but rub.

Gotta say that waking up from surgery was difficult. I felt so relaxed, comfortable, and at ease I could have slept for another couple of hours, but I thought the recovery nurses might want me out of their hair and in a regular ward. They got that anesthesia thing down to a science! I can understand why ppl get addicted to painkillers.

I haven't done that much since the pantry was finished. I've started working on prepping the windows in the living room so I can get proper window casings up, but haven't followed through with it. I've had some outside things that I've been attending to, and probably haven't made the most of my free time. That will change when the weather changes.

I also tweaked my back a little the other day. Nothing too serious. I managed to keep it from popping on me and have been taking it easy on the heating pad. It will be the difference between loosing a few days and loosing a few weeks.

How's the weather?

12 degrees last night... But today could possibly be the last cold one we see this year. Our 10 day outlook got a whole lot warmer a few days ago and looks like it's holding. I'm seeing a lot of 50 degree days and even a few 60 degree days in there.

I see that western NYS is having a beastly couple of days but then it warms up quite nicely. I hope you'll be getting some warm weather too!

I can't wait!

And change the clocks this Sunday!

Doing range of motion exercises now.

Alas, my surgeon is leaving my medical care facility and my oncologist will be out on maternity leave. But I did get the chance to see them one more time b4 they leave, they both gave me the good news from the pathology report: no detectable cancer. Not entirely in the clear: As with all cancers there is a 10% chance of recurrence, but the odds are very much in my favor, so I'm going with the "denial" strategy: Of course, I will continue treatment (radiation, monoclonal antibodies) and monitoring, and continuing to try and eat healthful food and live a healthful lifestyle, but beyond that I'm not going to think about it. I'm going to live my life and focus on getting my energy back and getting back to doing what I do.

So right now, I need to recharge. Still need an afternoon nap, but will try and regularize my schedule and accomplish more in my "awake" time and just... live my life.



Also, gonna need to dial back on posting here, so for the time being will restrict myself to posting in this thread and posting info into other threads, bc arguing with idiots takes up way too much of what time and energy I have.

So, for today, I'm going to start irrigating the property bc we're due for a big warm-up in a week.

Forgot to mention SIG that I've started watching Shetland. I had some of the first episode figured out, now just have to see about the rest.

I had to look up where the Shetlands are and it explains a lot about that first episode. Course we all know from history that the Vikings raided up and down the coast of Scotland and into England and Wales.

The show kinda of gives me the feeling of what it must be like living in Newfoundland. There are ferries that go between PEI and Nova Scotia along with New Brunswick. Very cold in winter and stormy.

Oh cool! I hope you like it.

I would NOT recommend all six seasons, tho! After they ran out of the original stories the characters start to drift. DI Perez frays, and instead of staying calm and perceptive (which is what I appreciated) he starts to browbeat and scold his suspects and his judgment clouds. Only two characters stay true to themselves.

The landscape was amazing.

For some stupid reason I thught the change was supposed to happen 3AM MONDAY. Duh!

Was I shocked when I got up this AM to find I was 1 hour behind schedule already! I was only going to stay in bed for another 15 minutes, and when I got up it was more like an hour and 15.

well, at least that explains the lost hour. Gotta boogie, now! I have a lot planned for the day.
