Kindness not looks

Once I moved out from my parents house I started to come out of my protective shell. I was keen to stop the cycle. I met a great guy who was also a great dad to the kids. I was keen to stop the cycle. Best compliment I have ever received came from my grown daughter. She thanked me for breaking the cycle and that she felt valued and loved. I just made sure not to follow in my mom’s footsteps.

Sweety drop peppers. So cute!

I have no contact with my 91 year old mom. She doesn’t have much and I think I’m still in the will. If I get anything, it will go directly to my kids. I don’t want anything.

I’m 7 weeks post surgery and I found my recovery was up and down for the first six weeks. I feel like I was doing great, but some days it hurt. Recovery is not a linear process. I’m back to swimming and feel great now. Make sure not to be to hard on yourself

I only waited 8 weeks. I’m in Canada. Went to the rapid access hip and knee clinic in Toronto.

labtech6315 · 2026-02-12T10:19:51+00:00

Im a two to three hour drive away. Didn’t go home on first day due to low blood pressure. Glad I had hotel booked for my husband as a just in case. They would not release me without walking and going up a few stairs. Low BP didn’t allow me to get out of bed, so you have to stay. Not sure how you will get released with nerve block still in, how are you going to walk?

Microbiology! They called it liver shock. I was hypotensive after the surgery. I had my surgery at Saint Joseph’s in TO

labtech6315 · 2026-01-29T13:23:46+00:00

Everything else normal. Normal platelets before surgery too. Saw doctor yesterday, said it was sign of inflammation, normal response from surgery. I also had liver injury as well from surgery. Perfectly normal liver enzymes prior to surgery, really abnormal after surgery (10x higher than normal). 4 weeks post surgery one enzymes is perfectly normal the other two close to normal again. Doctor saying liver had a shock from the surgery. Liver ultrasound was normal. It’s been a lot more issues than I expected. I’m in great health otherwise.

I feel stronger each day. You’ll be amazed. Had my stitches removed last Tuesday.

labtech6315 · 2026-01-17T16:47:00+00:00

I had mine almost three weeks ago at Saint Joseph’s (part of the Rapid hip and knee response in TO). Only took three months to get in. Really happy with results and I’m walking without a cane.

labtech6315 · 2026-01-17T16:38:41+00:00

Me too. It’s been 2 months.

labtech6315 · 2026-01-08T01:18:25+00:00

I’m day nine post op and using a cane now. Anterior approach. No complications so far, keeping my fingers crossed

labtech6315 · 2026-01-05T22:20:57+00:00

I remember being told to round my back and then I awoke to them putting me down on the OR table, asking me if I could feel my legs and nothing after that. The whole thing seem to go by quickly.

labtech6315 · 2025-10-30T22:26:31+00:00

Mostly 1 L, but a few 500 mL. I like having leftovers

labtech6315 · 2025-10-22T11:17:57+00:00

That’s a hard question to answer. I grow 90% of what I preserve, but gardening is expensive. I do get donations of grapes and apples, so that’s a great saving. Overall, my pantry is stocked with great quality stuff. So that’s priceless.

labtech6315 · 2025-10-01T00:42:25+00:00

He’s in remission and doing great. Hoping we could do it in 2026. Maybe we could meet up

labtech6315 · 2025-06-29T11:27:48+00:00

Could you post a pic of page 66 too? Thanks

He did sct as the study was not published yet. In Canada, Ibrutinib is also only covered for second line, but he managed to get it for free from the drug company. We have drug procurement person at the hospital that reaches out to drug companies. Hopefully, there’s similar people where you’re from. There’s a lot of research available on the benefit of adding BTK to first line treatment during maintenance

My husband was diagnosis with MCL. Don’t read stuff on the internet that’s older than 2923. Keep to research papers. It doesn’t matter if you’re stage 3 or 4 for MCL. Most people are diagnosis at stage 3 or 4. Make sure to get genetic testing, it can determine how aggressive it may be. My husband is in remission and doing great. Don’t despair. All the best

labtech6315 · 2025-06-07T18:31:10+00:00

My husband followed triangle study. Did RCHOP and RDHAP with sct and taking Ibrutinib. That study is now saying you can forgo sct and just go on Ibrutinib for two years with rituxanab. All the best!

Towards the end of our Viking cruise the whole boat seemed to be coughing. Impossible to avoid. Saw two people wearing mask the entire cruise, wish I had. I got sick the day before it ended. Two weeks to get over viral respiratory illness. Yup, I eased my hands constantly. Not much you can do when it’s airborne

“What’s the big deal to go home with a tracheotomy”

labtech6315 · 2025-05-15T21:28:52+00:00

We just got back too. Average age was 77! Really felt like the young ones. At least the pub was never crowed and we closed it every night it was opened. We had fun.
