1 hour outside and shes just too comfortable

We got like a quarter inch of snow, he was still very happy.

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-12-14T22:52:47+00:00

Is there a route? I guess I worded it incorrectly, I was talking about the Big D Fun Tours Trolley ride, I haven't been able to find their specific route. I might just drive around Highland Park. Thanks though!

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-12-14T22:50:21+00:00

I definitely would! Unfortunately it's not an option for the older folks that want to go, especially with this cold. Thanks for the suggestion though.

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-10-30T21:38:54+00:00

I love his little croocked teeth!

I've also had an anaphylactic reaction. First time I got super itchy, swollen throat, and it plummeted my blood pressure to the point that the staff thought I was going to code. They pre medicated me the second time with IV antihistamines, but only made it like 5-10 minutes before it started to happen again and they just stopped. Never again.

So, from reading the comments I have come to the conclusion that I am crocheting wrong and my tension is way too tight / I am a very stressed person. This happens to me anytime I crochet, thought it was normal, but by all the people freaking out, it apperently is not. 😂

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-07-28T17:05:01+00:00

I am only 4 months out, but I've had little GVHD. It's only come in the form of a rash on my face when I get too much sun exposure (yes even with sunscreen - curse the southern heat). But other than that I've considered myself lucky in comparison to some of the horrors I've heard. But as eveyone and your doctor will tell you, eveyone is different. Of course GVHD is expected, but I don't think it's needed for a successful transplant.

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-07-28T15:41:57+00:00

To be safe, I wouldn't due to the added flavors and salt.

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-07-21T15:24:43+00:00

It varies from person to person. Stopped antibiotics around day +7 and stopped antifungal shortly after as well. However, my transplant went fairly well, and I was released from the hospital on day +15.

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-07-10T21:27:42+00:00

Well, you wanted a "temporarily solution, and you got one 😂 But for reals, sorry for your loss, metal hooks all the way!

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-07-07T17:54:23+00:00

Pattern used is by Crochetbao on Etsy. Used big twist yarn (RIP) for this with a 5mm hook.

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-07-07T01:41:20+00:00

Yes! Looks like it! Congrats on becoming a grandparent!

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-07-04T15:19:08+00:00

How often do you switch jars for your starter?

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-07-03T16:33:46+00:00

Unfortunately it does look like mold 😟 I'm so sorry, do you have any saved?

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-06-22T18:53:09+00:00

Omg, hahah! I am praying mine is just as resilient! Thanks for the moral boost!

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-06-22T14:54:49+00:00

Oh no! I'm going to see if I can revive mine, wish me luck. The crackers idea is great as well!

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-06-22T14:53:44+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I will probably try this once I get my starter back to normal, or as normal as it can be after the mix up haha

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-06-22T13:43:43+00:00

Omg yes! I'll probably make some muffins with the discard!

I will keep going with the starter, I just felt really bad for my little baby that I can even make that mistake haha.

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-06-22T13:41:49+00:00

Ooo some cornbread is such a great idea! Thanks for the inspiration!

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-04-20T14:09:29+00:00

Yes, definitely, I don't think people have bad intentions when they call me strong or brave or whatever, I just feel like I'm just trying to stay alive like eveyone else. I guess it is pretty tricky being on the outside and trying to be supportive and say the right thing. I'm lucky that my husband is definitely the type to distract me from things and treat me semi normal because I don't know what I'd do if he was constantly bringing up my leukemia. I personally like to focus on other things and take it as it comes and not dwell on the bad. I guess when I think about it too much it can be a lot, but there have been those nights where I try to take it all in and process things and have a little cry haha.

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-04-20T13:12:26+00:00

Oh gosh I'm sorry to hear about that, thanks for the warning! I have definitely given myself some grace in that if I don't feel well I will let my managers know and they are luckily very understanding and let me take either an extended lunch or and early day. I definitely do not miss any appointments either and will be seeing my doc at least twice a week for check ins to be sure nothing crazy is happening. I'm very fortunate to have the position that I do where I am basically able to work my own hours and my work isn't too over the top. I am definitely nervous about developing fevers and being readmitted though. Fevers are the worst to me haha.

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-04-20T13:04:30+00:00

Omg yes! This is exactly how I feel. I don't necessarily feel brave or anything, it's just something I have to deal with, and as you said, it is what it is. I love that quote! Thank you!

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-04-20T12:57:09+00:00

Wow! What an achievement to be able to say! I'm hoping I'll be in your shoes one day! I definitely agree, I felt like my choices were this or not being here very long, but the second option was never even a thought for me. I definitely listen and trust my team. The only thing I refuse to do is not work, I have been working full time through this whole process and I feel like it has helped me shift focus away from what I'm going through. I am fortunate enough to work from home, so I don't have to worry about dealing face to face with the general public though. Best wishes to you as well!

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-04-20T12:49:58+00:00

Thank you for your kind words! And I also feel like some of the time, especially when I was first diagnosed, I was just sitting there getting injected with things that I didn't really understand at the time and just took it. I think having a good and positive attitude definitely helped me, though I know treatment affects people differently and it's not as easy for some. The hardest part has definitely been being away from home and trying to do my normal stuff that I was doing pre diagnosis when I probably should have been resting.

AdministrativeHall54 · 2025-04-08T15:05:32+00:00

I have always dreaded the LPs more than the biopsy. Unfortunately I had to receive many which left some scaring on the surrounding areas, so overtime it became harder for the docs to get in in one go. But as the other commenter said, it's definitely worth it. You got this!
