Did you hear my sigh of relief? I heard from the doctor a few minutes ago. My CT last week showed all is stable. One thing was noted that the doctor did not consider something of concern. The oncologist will decide and if a concern will decide what steps to take to check it out. I was glad the doctor I was talking to wasn't concerned. He's done this awhile so has a clue or two.
 
Isn't it nice when you connect well with medical personnel? I have a nurse-practitioner whom I really like and really trust. She's totally "well, I'd suggest this, but if you wanna go more diet, you might try this and we'll look-see in a month or three". I finally got on the BP thing when too many med people got excited about it.

Good news, northwind.

I had an oddly good day today. Got a little bit done without feeling stressed about it.
 
yay! Husband's appointment went okay: psa level down below 1. Note to all the guys out there, for some reason psa levels are not routinely checked, and apparently there is a charge for it if you are not yet 60 years old and you request it. But I think it should be requested....I will definitely be encouraging my sons to do so. In two weeks, radiation begins.

Just a gentle reminder that we have historically tried to keep this as a space for comfort and personal sharing rather than intense political or similar discussions . It does not break any rules to have a conversation like this here, but we do encourage moving it to Politics or other more suitable forum space rather than keeping it here. Makes it more visible to those seeking such a discussion and keeps this as a "safe" space for those not wanting to participate in such discussions.

Sorry.
 
I took another test today. Past the 5 day mark now. Still positive. I feel ok though. No fever or cough. Stuffy nose still. But it’s hot and humid tonight like it was last night making it harder to sleep. Ick.
 
Good morning! Covid and conspiracy, with a side of alternative medicines, former hippies becoming conspiracy believers, symptoms old and new...lots to talk about. The coffee cart is ready to host those conversations and others, as new topics arise. Come on in.

C(_)/ c(_) c\_/ c[_]
 
If a conspiracy in the past was a plot, plan, or scheme ... does humanity appear to be missing such ideas of foresight and thus visions, or prescience that is lacking? Does this not settle that without thought ... like becomes a quantum state and chancy domain to wander into without bring a qlue of two that the unthinking will say is tacky?

Then if it all started with love ... can you believe initiation in a state when all thoughts and sentient matter were out in essence? If there we alternate corruptions to pure love did the fertile corruption fly? Some stoics refuse to believe things could have evolved that way and thus the fix we're in resembles an eddy fast ... thus spun!

Prepare for the weaving, clipping and patches to cover the vacancies ... later evolving as Patch Adams ... to cover for what we didn't see at first sight ... the need for flat out third dimension in time ... 3r Dye? Their did it ... ad continuum ... so it goes on ...
 
Hoo's their? Not eur or I's (horicis) concern ... yet Euro's is up ... as one half of the struggle between the red and the white while the black and yellow as poled ... the yellow tops out a pithed up ... falls a dewed ... for they didn't know where it was initiated ...

Much of the thing depends on how you hold your mouth as the thing is expelled as pho Net IHC ... and IHC in Nordic is a discussion that leaves some Thor about it ... having no end! Dead ringer ... could grow into an Olympian contest ah!

Are Contest a's cocky ... expecting to be won over? Thus co queue 'd ... for the birds in the time machine ... that back and forth that goes round ... Rhodes into the dirt? D' ear me ... and artists may leave you with an ear of silence ... bet you never heard! Thus well thunque as Pi thy ... accorded? Such lives may cause many to be strung out and stressed because of de threaded connections ... stripped according to the pipe fitter ... expect howling over the rye nature ... edification?

Then that Eddy Kiss me good night and the Moon departed ... idle come round ... English is wicked ...

Ate my toast sitting on our front deck this morning with the sunlight filtered by talk oak trees and a slight cool breeze. Spider is resting in the lily. Do not see the beetle it caught and wrapped up yesterday afternoon.

One of my rare sight highlights of the summer was seeing a jumping spider in action. They are stalk and pounce predators similar to a cat in the mammal world (which is why they have two big front-facing eyes). Poor little fly didn't have a chance.

Having a department luncheon for the first time since COVID. All my staff, including the new guy, plus an exec and a regional manager. It's a farewell for my co-op student and a welcome for new guy. Ordering in from a nice soup and sandwich place called Piping Kettle. Three locations, all in London.
 
Given room can we insert this as the Russian leader is Putin a bad situation ... getting insecure and calling for more troops.

If he doesn't get them might he do further dense things as typical for dense areas ... logits that are beneath logistics?

The highs and lows of war in waves ... perhaps a quantum effect of chance of passions and depressions going by ...
 
I didn't check in for a while and when I did I found pages of posts to read! Some interesting conversations going on. I could have added my thoughts a few times but decided not to as the discussion ad played out and everyone moved on.

I can say- two very dear, long term friends have Covid. As they are pushing 80 I am quite concerned, but can't help as they are far away.

I appear to have a urinary problem of some sort. I'm tending to think a plain, ordinary UTI that will resolve rapidly with an antibiotic. However, the anti fungal med I'm taking lists urinary problems among the possible side effects. It also lists several other things that I feel regularly like muscle and and joint pain, constipation or diarrhea. So, appointment coming up with some 'fill in' doc I've never heard of. I'm finding as I age that these things don't trip me up nearly as often. If I don't think this doc is calling it correctly I'll contact the specialist who prescribed the stuff!
 
This covid thing is no joke. 2 weeks after I originally got it, and I'm still coughing. I go hours without, then I'll have a coughing fit.

I mean, I'm even boosted, and I can't kick this one. I'm in no danger, but whatever variant I have is sticking around.

Some lessons in patience, and reminders we are not in control of as much as would like to think we are? Hoping you feel better soon chansen - don't bust any ribs with those coughing fits!
 
I spent today with my courageous friend who is a refugee claimant. She invited me to be her special guest at her graduation, which was an honour. She just completed PSW course at a private career college. I must admit to my skepticism about some private career colleges. I have to say tho that I've been impressed by the quality of the course she was in (started in January, just did exam for national certification) and even moreso today hearing from the visionary woman who boldly started this school in 2020 (yes - pandemic!!) to train new immigrants (mainly black or people of colour) for work in an expanding job market. She has added a programme for shelter service workers (also graduating today), and will be introducing a course for addiction & mental health support workers very soon. Great keynote speaker, awards presentation, speaker from TD bank 'black customer experience' initiative, lots of focus on empowerment through education & purposeful work. Finished off with a delicious meal of Jamaican food :-) GPS kind of screwed up on the drive home, so that made for a longer & more stressful journey ... but we did it! Now I'm tired - I think a nice glass of wine with dinner is in order.
 
Was at the beach last night, met a bunch of other women who live nearby and most of us stayed til it closed. Wiped out today. It's nice though to do the outdoor things when possible. There has been so many pub ones.

Still thinking I need an antifatigue med. With all the issues that have been going on though not sure when to bring it up. Had a phone appointment yesterday and my allergist has basically pushed all of those issues to different specialists.
 
I am looking forward to two weeks vacation starting Monday. It is still really warm her plus humidity ends up above 30 degrees. I have a project of i stalling a floating deck in my backyard that I bought off my neighbours. Had four friends over on Sunday who carried it over ( I had 2/3 of the boards taken off). It was a breeze with so many hands helping! The move was really only 50 feet in distance, I took a panel of my fence off to have a direct line to go. Today I mixed concrete and anchored it. There will be a gazebo on top of it, so I wouldn’t want it to be blown away. It will be nice, but I feel I have only energy for one little step at a time. Still have to pour two more anchors, then put gravel in between the boards, put the boards back on, take the others off and treat them, built the gazebo. Rain in the forecast for tomorrow.
 
Oh my goodness MrsA - mixing concrete & pouring for anchors sounds like more than "one little step at a time"! I bet your gazebo will be wonderful!
