Cancer free day 49

Today my lower back hurt so I didn’t do any exercise. I did work on my egg aversion with French toast.

Jeff made a homemade loaf of sourdough bread that he soaked in egg and cooked.

Now this next part is controversial. I hate to add more divide when our county is so polorized. But, I topped my French toast as I did growing up, with butter and salt.

Now I know some of you (Mom, Dad, Laura, Jenny) know this is an excellent way to eat French toast. For the rest of you syrup toppers, let’s agree to disagree.

But you may want to try it. 31 years of marriage has not converted Jeff. But it’s pretty delicious. And it is helping me overcome my egg aversion a bit.

Cancer free week 7

I’ve been obsessed with this little tree since we got to Panama. I see it a lot when I walk to the park.

It seems to have roots under the cement and is against the electric pole. They cut out down over and over and yet it keeps coming back.

This week I feel like I have a bit more energy. I still take 2 naps a day and rest on the couch fire hours on end. But I feel a bit better.

Unfortunately, I’ve developed an egg aversion. I think it happened in the hospital. I had a nice plate of scrambled eggs and then had digestive problems for the next 9 days. The eggs did not cause the issue, but my brain refuses to believe it. Although its not that uncommon. If you Google sudden egg aversion a lot comes up.

Anyway, so we’ve been looking for other things to eat in the morning. Today we made creamy breakfast quinoa with bananas. It was really good. We both like quinoa, but for those that don’t, anything is good with enough butter and brown sugar.

Today was another day of being tired. We did manage a walk and I did 3,200 steps thanks to this crocidile. And no, I was not being chased.

Jeff went up ahead on the path since he currently walks about 10 times faster than me.

He got to the bridge, and took a picture of Juancho as they call him and texted me. I have seen a few crocs over the years but never Juancho so I pushed myself to get to the spot that overlooks the river.

It was worth it. Juancho is huge and seems quite happy.

Cancer free week 6

Today I’m six weeks post surgery. It feels so much longer than 6 weeks. My doctor said it will take a full 3 months. So I’m halfway through. This next 6 weeks will be much easier than the last.

Today I got my steps in by doing errands. I went to the nearby grocery store. The drug store and the casino.

The casino is where the nearest ATM is. I did not gamble. It’s a pretty sad looking casino so there is not even a temptation. The security guard looked a bit surprised seeing me walk very slowly in at 11am.

Cancer free day 41

Today in order to take our minds off the election results, we took a walk in Parque Omar. Jeff walked the 3 mile loop while I looked at all the art. I’m not sure if this was new or I never noticed it before.

I walked 2,900 steps which for me is a lot. I then spent the rest of the day napping. It’s easier to handle the election results from Panama. They are not interested in American politics so it is just a normal day here.
