Grateful. Just got my old laptop back from the repair shop. Now have a working laptop for about 10% the price of replacing it, so have the main one I've been using and now an equivalent setup as a back up - so if the main one develops an issue, I won't have to panic buy a new one the same day to keep working.... A rare win! I hope there will be more wins to come!

Glad that went smooth for you.

I'm concerned. Been going through this pattern of: wake up, feel good, do some stuff, feeling less good, mood descends until I feel dizzy and sick, lay down for fear of injuring myself if I don't, 40 min nap, repeat. Not much emotional content, but my autonomic nervous system functions like heart rate, body temp, respiration are all noticeably accelerated.
According to the sounds coming out of my gut, things are pretty active in there, too.

Going to keep taking naps as needed. I hope it's just something unwelcome that my system is working to eliminate.

My friend who has cancer is struggling through her first week of chemo. I have been to the drug store twice today and once earlier in the week for her medicine. This is when the rubber hits the road. I would want to die if I had her chemo regimen - she's struggling through. Makes me realize how lucky i am. Other years I would want to take her cancer and die but now I want to live.

But it's dragging me down watching her struggle.

Sad to hear about your friend and her cancer, tough disease. It is good that she has a caring friend like you there to help her along with what she is going through.

@LumberJack I have days like that, too. Hope you feel better soon. For me when that pattern happens I can't quite discern if it's my immune system struggling due to stress and maybe fighting off a virus, or if it's become my body and mind's go to behaviour insisting that I deal with some buried trauma or emotion. Either way, lately I'm trying to stop self recrimination and just pay attention. The result is I don't get much work done and it is frustrating.

Cancer is a dreadful disease, and the treatments are just horrible. I have a friend in her late 80's who just got her 3rd cancer diagnosis. She had to give a lot of thought as to whether she would fight it or not. But she has a husband she dearly loves, so she will fight it. Its a strange cancer. Its in her nose.

I wish your friend the best. She is very fortunate to have you there to help her.

I hope your friend has a full recovery. He/she is fortunate to have you as a friend. Wishing you both the best. *console

I recently watched someone go through chemo, and my heart goes out to your friend. It’s got to weigh on you a lot, watching her go through this. Please stay strong for her.

I feel so upset. Long story short, I may have endometrial cancer, and I need a biopsy to confirm. The biopsy, under anesthesia will cost about $400 and require someone to drive me to another town. I could do the biopsy in the gynecologist's office but that would be without anesthesia. I don't know what to do.

Anybody with experience with endometrial biopsies?
