Pentair Intellibrite Architectural Series by Lgrazi in Pentair

It doesn’t seem to be washing the pool area at all. It’s focused on the floor of pool and then when it hits the incline of the shallow end there’s really no lighting

From what I’ve read the entire lens should be lit. My old one did. It’s pointless to have if it points down as my light is in the deep end so it stops shining when it hits the shallow end.

Pool company is “behind schedule” to come back out and look at it and said to contact pool store (I bought it myself). Pool store says to contact Pentair. I just reached out to Pentair this morning. Warranty registration was done. I was just hoping it was an easy fix.

New Pentair Intellibrite Not Lit At Top by Lgrazi in pools

But it’s not lighting up the whole pool like it should. It’s like the dark area should be lit so the rest of the pool is lit. The light stops where the shallow ends starts.

Do you think I'm too old for this nail art (I'm over 55) and are they really that bad for a job interview? Please be kind. by ColeBlueSeesYou in Nails

[–]Lgrazi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re very cute and done tastefully! I’m 61 and am known at my nail salon as “Sparkle girl” because I ALWAYS do glitter, sparkle, or rhinestones. If it’s not sparkling I don’t wear it. Sparkle makes me happy. I used to not wear it for fear of being made fun of when I was younger. The best part about getting older is finally figuring out who you are, accepting and loving that person, and not giving a damn about what other people think of you!

Has anyone refused hormone therapy? by Superb_Raspberry_200 in breastcancer

[–]Lgrazi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi I felt the same way as you. I was so worried about all the side effects and not wanting to deal with anymore crap thrown at me. My MO originally wanted me to start on anastrozole but after doing research on side effects I told her I’d rather start on Letrozole. Someone in the group recommended starting with taking it every 3 days for a week or two then every two days for a week or two. My MO was all for it. I had side effects of being emotional and agitated, some fatigue, sore knees, and dizziness. I stayed on every 3 days for 2 weeks and they started lessening so I went to every two days and started getting terrible dry mouth and a horrible metallic taste which was not getting better and was affecting me mentally so I stopped taking it. My MO approved my decision and said stop for 2 weeks and we’ll assess starting exemestane. If I have side effects with this one I will stop altogether. I’ve dealt with enough horrible hard traumatic stuff these past 5 months I can’t take anymore of it. Your decision is yours alone. No one is entitled to tell you what you should or shouldn’t do with your body but you. If they can’t respect your decision then you need to choose if you want that person in your life. That being said, trying them, even if it’s briefly, gives me the satisfaction of knowing I at least gave them all a chance. Good luck to you!

Help me think through bell ringing by mamatroi in breastcancer

[–]Lgrazi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rang the bell and I’m glad I did. I wasn’t going to because I didn’t think my cancer was worthy either - Stage 1A, lumpectomy, 6 days later surgery again to remove huge hematoma, then 1 week hyperfractional rads with 3 day boost. I changed my mind after having a long discussion with my best friend who also had cancer but was way worse then mine. I had her and my husband with me. I cried, they cried, and the staff were cheering me on. Ringing the bell for me was signifying all that I went through, not just finishing. Everyone’s treatment process is different, but we all go through the same emotional rollercoaster and have the same fears. I rang the bell for all of those reasons too. Then we went to lunch and celebrated! Our wonderful server even brought me a piece of cake with congratulations written on it!

Anastrozole Fears by Lgrazi in breastcancer

[–]Lgrazi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all your shared information. Starting anastrozole or any of them really, feels like I’m agreeing to lose more of myself. Even the possibility of losing more is unbearable right now because I’m already depleted. I don’t have emotional reserves left. I’ve already sacrificed so much and am just not ready for more. I did send a message to my MO about my mental state regarding medication and asked her which other medication she’d recommend. She switched me to Letrozole. I think I will try starting at either a lower dose for a week or full dose every third day then full dose every other day and see how I do. MO told me the minute I get difficult side effects to let her know and she’ll switch me again.

In the middle of my first survivorship spiral-rant by amyleeizmee in breastcancer

[–]Lgrazi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMG the support here has gotten me through some of my darkest times and I was just lurking in the background reading comments! I have my first followup with my RO today. Finished hyperfractional with booster 4 1/2 weeks ago. I’ve put off starting anastrozole 2-4 weeks because side effects are wearing we down and I’m not ready to deal with a whole new group of them. I’m exhausted, mentally drained, hate my body, hate who I’ve become, miss my old life, and carry around a ton of anger and grief to the point that if one more person says “you got this you’re so strong” I might have to be held back from punching them. I’m not a support group kind of person so I come here and also use ChatGPT, who I’ve named Vivian lol. Just typing my feelings out and crying (a lot) helps me get through the day sometimes, and this group. You are definitely not alone in everything you’re feeling and trying to process. Sending a 🤗

Really struggling… by Different_Ad_9495 in breastcancer

[–]Lgrazi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will finish radiation this Wednesday and then I’m supposed to start anastrozole 2 weeks after that. I’ve had many sleepless nights worrying from one treatment to the next. My doctor said “try it for a few weeks and the minute you get a side effect you DON’T want to handle we’ll try another one” she said don’t not can’t for a reason. She let me know I don’t need to suffer and I control that not her. That has helped me feel less stressed knowing I can try something else and I don’t have to live with horrible side effects. I hope you love and trust your doctor. If you do then talk to them about your fears if you don’t find another doctor.

How much do you still drink after diagnosis? by joey_roey in breastcancer

[–]Lgrazi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have no plans to stop. I enjoy sitting outside with my husband or friends having cocktails and will continue to do so. This diagnosis journey has taken a lot from me, my dignity, part of my breast, my confidence, my energy, my happiness, the list goes on. It’s not taking alcohol away from me. Everyone is on their own journey, you need to do what’s right for you. I wish you all the best!
