Update on My Sister... and Me...



Good morning, friends!

The best of news!  Ruth Ann's CT Scan saw NO CANCER after eight chemo's!!  Of course, we'll need verification from her Oncologist, but we are over the moon!  Dr Singh says that this particular cancer, once eradicated, doesn't come back?!!  Never heard of that...We have tons of questions for him at her next appointment.  

I've been out of commission since last Sunday...the flu?  I've had pneumonia once before so I'm susceptible to getting it again.  I have antibiotics here, at the house, that I purchased from a company called Jase Medical in Utah...(USA).  Yes, they're a bit pricey but they are meant to be used if you can't get into see your doctor in time. If you know what antibiotics work for you in certain conditions, then you are good to go.  There's no doctor visit...just fill out the questions, a physician reads your file, and prescribes the medications.  You get five different meds mailed to you.  I discovered the company back when Larry and I were RV'ing.  A lot of the full and part time campers use Jase Medical.  They're on the road with no permanent address.  So, if they became ill, they had something that could help in an emergency situation.  I'm not sure if they sent to other countries other than America but you are welcomed to click the link to find out.

I'm feeling better but my cough is hanging on.  My chest is no longer on fire.



Ruth Ann...



Here's a tip when making salads.  Grab some wax paper...scrunch it up on one side of your bowl and place "weepy" ingredients in it...that way, everything stays nice and crisp.




True at my house...lol








You didn't think I'd leave without a photo of our little Sloane, did you? lolol

Well, this is all I'm good for this week... I think I'll get back into the recliner and rest.  Hope you all are well and safe so, until next time...

A Fun Filled Jan-Feb...


Our William came home from the Air Force...Arizona, for a visit!

I bought a new mixer to replace my Kitchen Aid...Bosch Universal 800 and I LOVE IT!!

I made strawberry cupcakes...


I added bell pepper to hamburger...put on cookie sheet then froze them...popped into a plastic bag.


I made Italian sesame bread


Chocolate chip Peanut butter & walnut...


Diced up 20 pounds of onions for the freezer...Haha...Larry took over for a minute so I could take a breather!  Onions!

Boiled potatoes, let cool then sliced up for freezing...

So easy to do!
The bread...

Chocolate Chocolate Chip...

The Kitchen Sink cookies...

WHAT??? Hahaaa...'ya gotta laugh...

Made dishwasher soap...

Made laundry soap (My old Tide box of powder now cost $18.00!)  No Thanks!  This works just fine!





The onions...

It SNOWED a little this year...


French toast with lemon juice and powdered sugar...




Well?  Did you make it through all the photos?Hahaa...I can't say it's been busy...but, yeah...it was. 
Larry's Dad had his surgery in January.  He did great!  (Thanks for the prayers!)  He's now here in town at a nursing facility where they do rehab. He can't go home unless he's up...walking unassisted.  He's been a bit of a pill but I think he's starting to get things in gear.

Meanwhile...two days after his surgery...and we were parked in a Houston RV park...it was cold...rainy...I came down with pneumonia...and yes, Larry took me to an urgent care facility buttt...the nitwit child doctor told me I had sinusitis ...even after I told him I had fever daily...nightly...99.8  to 103...bad cough...but he diagnosed me by just looking at me...Nurses' opinion didn't matter to him, and no...I didn't tell him I was LVN....(he knew best...I once worked for a doctor that couldn't diagnose ringworm...No, seriously...he hadn't a clue...he didn't listen to me either...child ended up in the ER several weeks later.)  We left there and Larry said "to heck with this, I'm taking you home!"
So...he drove our car (rv toad) to my doctor's office (three hours back to Waco)  and my doc took one look at me...ordered a chest x-ray...came back and said "yep...pneumonia".
I was down a total of two months...finally stopped coughing the last of February.  
Larry ended up driving back to Houston to be with his Dad and I stayed home. 
SO...that's it for me...How'd your Winter go?lol
