What’s your Sunday usually like?

@4meAndyou I made vegetable- beef soup this afternoon for dinner. Enough for tomorrow too but will cook something else to go with it. I was hopped Up on steroids they gave me with the chemo. Fell asleep in the recliner in the living room and then woke up and washed dishes, made some fennel tea to help with digestion and brought it to the bedroom to let it cool off and drink. Also took magnesium. Leaned back in my lift chair and did Cryptograms for a long time, drank the tea and went to the bathroom. It was 3:30 a.m. by then stayed up till 6 and then fell asleep. The alarm on my chemo pump alerted me that the pump reservoir was empty do I turned it off. Ray got the kit to remove the needle from my port and did that. He and the boy left 20 minutes later to go to the car lot. I thought I would sit and watch tv a few minutes and then take my shower and then Drink my Teeccino coffee substitute.. But instead I fell asleep again and woke up at 1:30, got up and showered and then drank it. Then heated up some chicken links and them with and ate them and a couple of mandarin oranges.

Such a productive day. Had planned on baking some low carb applesauce & almond meal cookies and peanut butter cookies for the boy, But it didn’t happen.

@cherokeepatti Making soup after chemo is MORE than enough activity. You have to cut yourself some slack.

I made a "who knows what it is" soup or stew. I used chicken bouillon and 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup and water and milk as the base. I added 2 lbs of browned ground turkey that I seasoned to taste like hot Italian sausage. I added 2 cups of cooked brown rice, 2 cans of diced carrots, a can of dark red kidney beans, and 2 cans of turkey flavored collard greens. It was good!

@4meAndyou I can’t handle canned soups, they are loaded with mono sodium glutamate and it causes heart palpitations and will mess with my heart rhythm if I eat very much of it.

Otherwise it sounds good. I make a chicken-vegetable casserole like my mother used to make. It called for cream of mushroom soup but I kind of replicate the recipe with fresh ingredients instead of using the canned soup.

@4meAndyou the weather has cooled down here and thought it’d be a good time to do a little baking. Maybe this week I will make some things.

@cherokeepatti Give yourself a chance to rest. I have tons to do for the next two days, and I have an ear ache and a runny nose...and I pretty much KNOW I will get awesomely sick after over doing it today and for the next two day.
