Actually, not just okay, but feeling lots better. I think my body
chemistry has returned to normal or close to it. I'm feeling much
stronger. I can cross my legs without having to lift them up in my hands.

Even drove myself to the market yesterday.

I get a three-day holiday as there is no radiation on Monday. I talked
to my Rad guys and they love chocolate chip cookies with nuts. So I
will bake them some this weekend.

10 sessions down, 25 to go.

All I need is my computer to get fixed and finish the manuscript. the
Grat and Powerful Eddie Flores has it as Dell would not come out and
touch it.

Sent them a scathing email and the guy actually called. I want them to
pay for the repairs. I just might get them to pay for part, if not all.

Other than that I've been fighting with the City of New York to get my
old insurance off of my Medicare. even called the Mayor's office.ent
two letters today to the old insurance.

I am using my 2003 Dell Insperon laptop. I had to download the printer
drivers this morning so I could type the letters.

Hopefully, mine will be back on Saturday.

The home health care lady let me take a bath in my jet tub on Tuesday.
Wonderful. She said we could do that every Tuesday. I can't get myself
out alone, so she is just a treasure to have. Blood pressures,
rspiration, etc. are all normal.

Starting to lose the appetite as I'm of the steroids almost 2 weeks,
but I am making an effort to cook and eat.

Used the new induction cooktop to make salmon patties and I really like
the way it fries things. It does keep the temperature consant.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Labor (Labour for my Canadian friends)
weekend and eats lots of barbecue and holiday food.

Have no idea what the sig line is on this machine. Whatever it is, it
can't be bad. :-)

I'm glad you're feeling better.. now find something to whet your
appetite... meat loaf is tasty and nourishing... goes well with egg
noodles and gravy. Have a great weekend!

PS. I'd be honored to lift you from your tub.

On top of your health issues you have all of these other problems to
deal with. I admire your strength, lady.

It is hard to eat when you lose your appetite, but try the best you can.
Glad you are enjoying your new induction cooktop.

I'm glad to hear that things are getting a little better. I used to
fix myself some things to keep in the fridge and then I would snack at
maybe 10 or 11 p.m., I found the house was quiet then, I was relaxed
and eating a little bit wasn't much of a chore. I'd keep deviled
eggs, god's eyes, cheese cubes -- that kind of protein thing in the
fridge. And some already prepared fruit. That way you can just grab
and snack. I tolerated food much better at that time of night. Be
sure you use full-fat everything to keep your calories up. The
booklet from the cancer people even suggest using half and half or
cream.
Keep up the good work.

Keep on truckin', Janet! As the other US Janet suggested, it might be a
good idea to keep some snacks on hand in the fridge.

I'm glad you're enjoying that induction hob. My thoughts stay with you.
I do hope you can bully Dell into paying for at least part of the
repair of that new machine. And for your insurance issues to be taken
care of.

You are one tough cookie - keep it up!

Sorry, I meant Frogs Eyes. i.e., deli-thin slices of ham or beef,
spread with softened cream cheese (may season with horseradish if you
wish) roll the meat/cheese around either a dill pickle spear or
several olives. Refrigerate until firm and then slice into pieces
that would appeal to you as snack items.

I will do my utmost. :-)

Last night I went to services with my friend Ronni. She took me last
week and I was moving like an ancient being with a walker. Last night I
just strolled in, no mask, no problem. Got myself up for all the
"rising" and prayed really hard.

We stopped for a bite as a so-called Middle Eastern restaurant. Worst
falafel I have ever tasted. I lived off a Lebanese grease truck's
falafel for 3 years while I finished college at night, have eaten
falafel all over the world, including London, Sydney and, of course,
Israel and this had to be the poorest excuse for an otherwise delicious
food ever. But the company was great and Ronni got to spend some
quality girl time together.

Thanks, Janet, your tips are appreciated. I do fix myself a snack of
cheeses and a little salami around 3 in the afternoon. I have some good
leftovers, too. I like the tapioca with fruit as a late night snack.

When we were growing up, a favorite comfort food was salmon patties and
spaghetti. I have some more patties and I can fix spaghetti for my
lunch today. My sister called yesterday and I told her about the salmon
patties and she went back to that comfort place with me.

I usually keep a bowl of home made tapioca pudding in the in the fridge
but I need to make some more.

The great and powerful Eddie Flores (brother of my god friend Esmi) is
returning the fixed computer this AM. This guy does magic on computers.

They sound lovely, but the pickle taste buds are not receptive and I
just can't eat pickles right now.

Jill, The Dell people haven't dealt with an irate Jersey Girl. They
have an experience coming. As for the City of New York, Medicare has
gotten all three insurances, the two non-active and the active one on
the record, so the Medicare bills will reach the proper insurance
company and my bills will be paid.

I'll wait two weeks and follow up on the other two companies.

You would think that when a man gives 32 years of his life to teach
mentally retarded children in the New York City middle schools, the same
man who had the very first license issued in special education in the
entire city, they would be a little kinder to his widow.

The New York Times will be getting a letter to the editor. I can't
imagine someone like myself who doesn't have the balls to take the on,
suffering. Can you imagine being without income for over 3 months?
that's how the f----ng City of New York awards its employees.

I sold my car to have something to live on and am still waiting for his
pension which should have begun shortly after his death as all the paper
work is/was in order.

Are you taking Coumadin or similar thus no Vitamin K consumption?

Just the opposite. I am consuming great quantities of vitamin K,
including K-2 supplements. Vitamin K seems to be the only thing keeping
my platelets at a non-bleeding percentage.

Before I started the supplements, my platelets were 8,000 after an
infusion of one bag. A few days later I got two bags of platelets and
had a bad nosebleed the next day. That's when I called the Doc and
asked about the vitamin K. He gave me his blessings.

There have been studies that K-2 has some effect in killing certain lung
cancer cells, so I decided to go with the K-2

After one week, platelets were up to 44,000 and after two weeks 46,000.
Normal is something like 500,000 and I'll never get there, but I have
no new bruises, no nose bleeds and someone can lay a hand on my shoulder
without leaving fingerprints of bruises.

Also, I no longer look like a domestic violence victim :-)

I'm also taking iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium, extra B-12 (hoping
it helps appetite and energy) and my regular supplement stuff.

Thanks, Jill. My computer is back and working. Bless, Eddie. The
insurance issues are fixed enough that Medicare will bill all three
companies, two of whom won't pay and the real one will.

Still waiting for the pension. It's 3 months since I've had any income
other than social security and the few dollars I make editing
manuscripts. Waiting on the City of New York to get its act together.

Thank goodness I was able to sell my car. It's paying a lot of the bills.

I will get Dell. Eddie is sending me an invoice. He's pretty sure it
was a Microsoft update that bollixed up the works. Dell should have sent
out a guy to fix it.

How far are you from Harwich? I will be there, G-d willing, next
summer. I could stay a night before my sailing.

Things are looking up!

I bet a nice custard would go good. Nutritious and tasty.

I am battling about an insurance matter too, so know what you're going thru. Ugh. What makes it worse is - they're not there on weekends and so ya sit and worry for days, then wait on hold forever come Monday. Labor Day will make it even worse.

You're almost there. Hooray. Hang on.

Not to quibble, but every Scot I've met and perhaps all going back to
Robert the Bruce would tell you Scotland has _always_ been a country in
it's own right.

And they'll pass the lesson on at the end of a Claymore.
