  1. Tessalon pearls have been wonderful for my wife. They were prescribed by her lung surgeon. They can be taken 3 times a day but she only uses them as needed. Tom
  2. It just occurred to me that perhaps someone on here might have some ideas about a persistent cough which Tee has had since her lobectomy. Initially we thought that it might improve over time but it didn't. Then her PCP took her off of lotrel (amlodipine/benazepril) and substituted amlodipine alone since benazepril is notorious for causing a cough. That hasn't worked either so we're going to bring this up again with her lung surgeon tomorrow when she goes to obtain the results from her first CT scan after surgery. Anyone have any ideas? Tom

    Monday's Air

    Last week was a busy week for us. After having a delightful lunch with Judy and Stan on Saturday, Feb 4th, Tee and I left Key West early Sunday morning for the drive to Port St. Lucie. Always takes a bit longer thru the Keys since most of the first 125 miles is 45 mph limit. Here's a picture of Tee, Judy and Stan on our lunch date. The last day thru Georgia and on to Little River (Myrtle Beach area) was the worst with 360 miles total and the last 100 on secondary roads with a lot of small towns. Takes about 3 days to unload after a long trip not to mention having to winterize the coach (25 degrees last night). Friday was Tee's first CT scan after surgery so there was a lot of scanxiety floating around. We meet with her surgeon on Wednesday to get the results. Then on Friday we meet with her head and neck surgeon for her monthly checkup from surgery to remove the tumor on her parotid gland. The weekend was recovery time so now it's catchup with email and regular mail. A Tip To Remember--Just prior to departing Key West, I discovered a wiper blade with torn rubber--no replacement blades to be found anywhere since motorhome manufacturers always try to make it difficult. I remembered some Rain-X from several years ago so I treated the windshield just in case it might help if we encountered rain. As luck would have it, we had rain off and on for the first 2 days. MAGIC--not once did I have to turn the wipers on. Count me in as a believer! Have a great day! Tom & Tee

    Sunday's Air

    Judy KW--We are available either Tuesday or Saturday--after all we're retired and oh yes, we're in Key West. Our schedule has us departing Sunday for Little River and multiple doctors' appts. I'm delighted that we may get to share face time with one of the people I have come to admire over the past 6 months. I'm convinced this will be marvelous therapy for Tee. You name the time and place. Once again my email tkrimminger@gmail.com To All The Other Contributors To This Forum--Thanks for being a part of our lives. Tom & Tee
  5. Judy KW--I apologize for not responding to your restaurant recommendations but last week we were dealing with perhaps the worst WiFi I have ever experienced. We've kind of gotten into a routine where we have lunch out every other day. So far we've experienced Cafe Square One, El Siboney(the Cuban place on Catherine), Rusty Anchor, Hogfish, Mangoes, Two Friends Patio Restaurant, Hurricane Hole, and Kennedy's--our favorite and one of your recommendations--Mangoes--a great piece of Yellowtail Snapper with nice music and an excellent waiter. Today we had lunch on Sunset Key with our friends from Massachusetts and Nova Scotia--NOT one of our favorite places. We're going to be in Key West for about 2 more weeks and then it's back to scans, etc. Tee and I would like to invite you and your husband (or a friend) to lunch at your favorite lunch restaurant. You can email me at tkrimminger@gmail.com.
  6. Judy in KW--Although I have never posted on this forum, I have been following everyone since joining last July. Hope I get the post correct. If you caught my update today, we escaped from the doctors for the month of January and are de-stressing here in one of our favorite places, Key West. Then it's back home to prepare for Tee's first round of tests after her surgery. Based on your post today, this may be a bad time to ask this but would you please share your favorite restaurants here? Tom & Tee

  8. Tee is my wife and survivor. After dealing with this since mid-Feb, surgery finally occurred on Jun 1. NSCLC Stage 1 with Right Upper Lobe removed. Post surgery pathology all normal so no chemo or radiation indicated at this time. Pain appears to be a moving target with good days and bad days but overall headed in the right direction. I hear a lot of talk about exercise but nowhere have I seen any kind of exercise plan or any resource that might address an exercise plan. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
