A good hint here when STARTING a New review thread
Comments (1)Thanks Sue for the tip or thew advise. How many would have thought that bad things for years to come would come just from a check, and not from a personal checking account either....See MoreCheck for Name First Before Starting a New Thread
Comments (69)Yes...but...the search is now out again. GW updated us though about their ongoing efforts to get it fixed. This is the banner on the main page here under "What's News at GW.

Comments (3)Her last post on Rose forum Nov 6 - so you don't have to go to link and scroll down (hope you don't mind) "It's been a rough few weeks. After the surgery & healing he was feeling better and probably could have gone to work for a week but couldn't due to the disability paperwork. It was a lot of stressful waiting to see if he was going to do a clinical trial; a drug I wished he'd get but the computer ended up putting him in the group that didn't get the drug :( The drug has been used on other cancers with good results but it wasn't meant to be & I'm sure there was a reason. He originally did not want to do the trial but changed his mind at the last minute. I know that things happen for a reason & feel that his dad who passed after my dad probably had something to do with it. We found out Friday about the trial; lady emailed me and told me they would set his chemo & radiation Monday when he went. I let him go alone Monday because me being there with him is making him feel like he's "sick". When he went Monday he found out he'd get admitted on Wednesday. Tuesday came, the gal I email told me that they were having insurance issues and we might not have a time until the next morning. At 8am she called and said to be there by 10:30. He was admitted, given a room then told he'd also have radiation that day (which we didn't know). I ended up leaving right before they took him for radiation. Mass transit was on strike & if I didn't leave I'd be stuck in traffic all night since most people had to drive into the city. After radiation he had lots of pre-chemo meds through the IV; chemo at 8pm which took 2 hours. Of course he didn't sleep much that night due to all the liquids they gave him. We timed his release so that I was pulling up when he walked out. We did this because he was feeling ok & I'm trying to give him a little space. The parking charge is also outrageous; why pay $10 to run in and get him? So, he had to go back in today for radiation and a taste bud study; he was up to driving there so he drove in; I then went back home and picked him up a few hours later when he was done. He's exhausted & has been sleeping since we got home. Thankfully we don't have to go back to Philly until Monday which his son will take him; my daughter has a Dr appointment I have to be there for. Tuesday will be a long day. In addition to radiation he has the oncologist. The next chemo will be November 25, another over night stay with the last being December 16th. Thankfully he's only having 3 chemo treatments but there are large doses. Please say a prayer for my neighbors mother in law. I found out a few weeks ago that she was diagnosed with Lung Cancer; and found out yesterday that they want to remove her lung. I feel helpless. She's not in NJ, I can't give her advice on where she should go." Update us when you can!...See MoreTips & techniques----let's start a new thread!!
Comments (16)Thanks for the tips, everybody. I'm going to try the buttermilk and spices. I hadn't been back to this thread for a while. I went back to read the old posts that I had made --- well, I'm sorry to say that I haven't been cooking like I first started. About a year and a half go, my Dad got sick and I spent about 2 months with him before he died ---- then I came home and the acid reflux that my husband had in one of my posts -----turned out it was really blockage in his arteries and had to have emergency open-heart surgery. He's doing okay now, much better in fact, but has numbness in one of his legs where they took a vein out (I think). Please, if you have someone who has a lot of acid reflux, make them go and get checked for heart blockage. The Dr. said that acid reflux masks a lot of heart problems. But, anyhow, I got away from the once-a-week, or once-a-month cooking. And I went back to work and, so---I've let a lot of things in the kitchen slide. I would really like to get back into it. When I was cooking large portions -- I found that the chicken legs and all of the turkey froze well. Once, I used the containers that you buy the frozen meals in---for my meal container and just put that in a zip-lock bag. Now, if I can collect 30 or so of them---well--- One of my biggest obstacles is gettin DH to try these meals. Funny, he buys the ones at the grocery and eats that rubber-looking chicken! haha And some of those green beans are horrible in those meals. Keep up the good tips. Yes, the economy seems to be taking a downturn. I'm just thankful that I have money to buy food. I know that people with large families must spend a small fortune at the grocery....See More- 5 years ago
