Confused and Overwhelmed-Diagnosed Anal Sac Carcinoma (Woody has passed)

Sharlene I don,t know just something there, I will put up a picture for you to see

I put pictures up in my random folder :D Mel I am more open to it now, but I need to make sure its for the right reasons, and not just to help me get over Woody not that I will but you know what I mean.

Mum had a stair lift put in a few years ago, but she never used it and made my brother take it out, she is so stubborn and proud and doesn,t accept that she is 70 yrs old and her health is failing, so we just try and be around as much as possible for her.

I have started potter but only on chapter two, virus is all gone thankfully and I,m back cooking everynight. Last week I made a chicken casserole, made steak and chips, I love steak but have never cooked it before and last Sunday I made a roast dinner, couldn,t quite get it all ready at the same time, but none the less I was very proud of myself :D

I understand. I popped into look, he is a handsome little guy :D

At least you can be there to help her, hopefully she will bounce back quick from this and it will warm up a bit as that probably doesn't help her mobility.

At least you started it, especially as I know reading isn't your thing. Sounds like you have been cooking up a storm, good for you trying a roast, you will get it just takes practice. Food cooked from scratch tastes so much nicer :D

Yeah she always does better in the warmer weather so hopefully we get a good summer :cool: She will be up and around in no time whether she feels like it or not she doesn,t believe in lying down to it :rolleyes:

My cooking is coming along and I,m even starting to enjoy it and try and cook something new every week, I will never be a great cook but at least now theres no more tv dinners lol :p

Was it today your were seeing the kids?

Sometimes you need to take it easy but I do think overall that's the best attitude, keep going.

I think for health it's better too, I try and minimise the amount of ingredients I use. If I don't know what it us I try to avoid it. Am not a saint but we eat relatively healthy. I love smoothies as I don't massively like eating fruit so that's a good way of getting some. Tip is to cut up and freeze the fruit as that makes it cold and you don't have to add ice as that thins it out.

Have you got a slow cooker? You can get a small one for about £20, they are awesome to chuck stuff in and have a meal at the end of the night.

Am seeing them tomorrow, will be definitely hectic :D

Yeah I have a slow cooker, I made my chicken casserole in it last week, just put it on before I went to work and it was ready when I got home its fab. I,ve had it almost a year and I think that was the first time I used it ha. I like fruit and do eat quite a bit of it, but never tried to make a smoothie, I might need to try that, can I use a hand blender to make it ?

I hope you have a good day tomorrow with the kids, and the weather stays dry that way you can all get out and about, instead of being stuck indoors. Kids just have a way of taking our minds of our troubles don,t they :p

Eddie sure is a cutie pie!!!!

And speaking of food :D have you seen our new recipe thread?? Some really tasty recipes...yumyum!!

Here's the link: Recipes (for people)

Hugs, Lori

Thanks Lori I hadn,t seen that thread will go and check it out, I,m not the best cook, but I,ll give it a try :D

Hand blender might be messy as you need a pot to be able to mix it up to get it smooth

My fav is strawberries banana orange juice and natural yoghurt. Lots of smoothies use apple juice as base. Can use any fruit but it's definitely best frozen as warm smoothie is nasty!

I better try for some sleep as the kids start calling to find out where I am! Catch you soon, hope your mum feels a bit better tomorrow xxxx

Have a blast tomorrow Mel good to catch up with you xx
