This morning we woke to snow...It is pretty to see and it is a light weight snow...Powerdery...Easy to shovel...Yes I shoveled and it felt so good...I did push with my right hand..I can't do alot with the left hand as I still have the IV pic in for chemo....It is down right cold out there...windy to....Dave said he was coming by today and I am hoping he can help shovel later...
Yesterday was chemo day...It went pretty good except for the foot massage....usually I enjoy them but it set off my nerves in my feet and it was so bothersome...All day long...And my hands yesterday was bothering me...When I saw the doctor she told me to take Vitamin B-12...Since I am taking metoformin meds it depleats B-12...when you are short on B-12 it affects the nerves...Then yesterday afternoon I saw the Dr.Oz show and for some reason he talked about B-12 and the nerves...Goodness.. So Russ picked up some B-12 for me....This morning my hands felt much better and the feet were somewhat better...So I will continue to take the B-12...
On chemo day I do not do much...I wanted to sleep yesterday...So I rested....Today I am doing much better...I am listening to my body...When it says rest I rest now...
I am going to read blogs this morning an I am going to actually comment...Then this afernoon I am going to cut out some patterns and sew...I am so looking forward to it on this snowy day...Right now I am watching Project Runway love that show....
Oh goodness I went over the last 3 months of my bank statements...Yikes....I look at 3 different things...Gas money for the cars and meds I have to have...I had figured out a budget with guessing on the gas in what we spent on meds and gas...Eating out I knew it was a problem...So when I went and figure out the budget I made a budget for only $50 for eating out for the month...It's only Russ and I... I would to go out once a month....Have a nice dinner....Use a coupon to help us out...Anyways I went through the last 3 months and I about had a heart attack!!! No more....Frugal is coming my way big time...I have to plan for Chemo day and for the time I have surgery so we don't order fast food...Fast food can be just as expensive as eating out at AppleBees sometimes...So fast food is out...And yesterday after Chemo we went right past McDees...I didn't get my frappa... That has been a thing with Jessi and I... We love our frappas....but she is on a diet and it would have had busted her diet and I really don't need the high sugar frappa...but it is good...But I did without it...I am going to stay away from it....BUT my last chemo treatment I will have one!!!! I am going to celebrate with one....but it will have to come out of the $50 a month eating out..
I need to get my goals done today so I can enjoy reading other post and sewing today....
Have a great day...

we aren't getting snow yet but supposed to tomorrow, amazing just how little we have had of it! So much of the fast foods are so bad for us, I hope you can give it up, my husband & I recently gave up buying ground beef at the grocery (google "pink slime" and get it now at a small store where they grind it themselves. Our food industry is poisoning us, very scary stuff! Hope you have a great day and don't over-do on that shoveling;)
I am so blessed by your frankness and honesty Lisa :) God is doing some amazing things in your life and you are listening to His voice where and how to cut back. Good job on listening to your body and resting when you need to! Still praying :)
Hi Lisa,
I hope the nerve thing has lessened a lot or that it is gone. I went through that and it drove me nuts.
Good that you are getting some things done today.:)
I wish we were getting the snow. We usually have lots by now.
Still prayin' Take care, Janet W ((Hugs))
