The photography conversation proving what I was already thinking, the features of an iPhone would be wasted on me. Although maybe I would be motivated by taking lovely pictures. I'm just not intuitively techie. Everything I know is hard earned.
Window washing is very satisfying isn't it? Every time you walk by the window you nod and think, isn't that nice? for at least a week :) maybe longer if it was really dirty or you did a really good job.
Maintaining, even if it's higher than you want to be is way better than the dreadful anxiety of the upward creep. When I started on tamoxifen, I felt like I was on a runaway train, some months I was gaining a pound a week, not a pound of fluid, a real and visible pound of fat. Thank goodness that stopped. Now, the incredibly slow reversal.
I saw my PCP today. I've had so much blood work, CT scans, EKGs etc, she had lot to evaluate. All indicate I am healthy. BP good, heart function good, bone density stabilized etc. Still often breathless. We agreed I didn't need to see a pulmonologist yet. I am better than I was last month, so as long as I continue to see improvement, we will wait. I've had enough "ologists" for now.
Finally went shopping. Very happy to have a few fresh things to add to what I already owned.
Break starts December 23rd. Cannot wait!!!
Good that all signs are healthy. Hopefully the breathless resolves itself.
