ca 8/50

12:57 am

stidmama

no ruru, these are bifocals -- short distance correct/magnification, only small fix for astigmatism for the plain upper part. I don't really need anything more than reading glasses but between the work in the schools and the classes I take I thought these were more practical. progressives allow for correction through multiple planes.

12:57 am

Uneaixoise

that's the one we've got, lib :-)

Definition of Iatrogenic

Iatrogenic: Due to the action of a physician or a therapy the doctor prescibed. An iatrogenic disease may be inadvertently caused by a physician or surgeon or by a medical or surgical treatment or a diagnostic procedure. Puerperal fever (childbirth fever) was an iatrogenic infection; it was carried from one woman to another by the doctor before the days of antisepsis. If in the course of a procedure, an artery is nicked and bleeds, that is an iatrogenic accident.

The word "iatrogenic" comes from the Greek roots "iatros" meaning "the healer or physician" + "gennan" meaning "as a product of" = due to the doctor.

3:10 am

sprite

something you get from the way a doctor treats you or diagnoses you

3:11 am

westford

well that spells it out all right

3:11 am

o-o

<microbiology> Pertaining to or originating in the hospital, said of an infection not present or incubating prior to admittance to the hospital, but generally occurring 72 hours after admittance, the term is usually used to refer to patient disease, but hospital personnel may also acquire nosocomial infection.

3:12 am

sprite

quite contrary to the first rule of doctoring: First do no harm.

3:12 am

o-o

that was the definition of nosocomial

3:12 am

sprite

nosocomial is not so comical

3:12 am

westford

with all the stories of hospital infections we were concerned

3:13 am

westford

my beef is the doctor's are dismissing it all with 'she's old'

3:13 am

westford

she is that but has always been very active

3:13 am

sprite

being old is not a disease. Doctors should know better.

3:14 am

westford

sprite what is wrong with your mom?

3:14 am

westford

I think she should see a gerontologist

3:14 am

westford

is that the word?

3:15 am

sprite

she had a fall, then fell out of bed a couple of times. In the hospital they found she had phneumonia. Physically she was doing better, my sister said. But mentally she isn't. She has never been stabile anyway.

3:15 am

sprite

stable* (?)

3:16 am

westford

yes stable

3:16 am

westford

they'll be able to treat the pneumonia

3:16 am

westford

hopefully they won't send her home too soon

3:17 am

sprite

thanks. Yes they have. And she has to go home on friday. My sister is trying to get her some help at home now.

3:17 am

westford

my state flower is in the grid

3:18 am

sprite

3:18 am

westford

3:19 am

sprite

3:19 am

westford

3:20 am

sprite

she still tires easily, but otherwise she is doing ok. Her knee is better.

3:21 am

westford

that's good about her knee but too bad she still gets tired

3:21 am

3:22 am

bfsog

3:23 am

westford

3:24 am

westford

3:24 am

o-o

3:24 am

westford

my father used to have one of those we loved riding with the top down

3:25 am

bfsog

i missed breakfast this morning maybe thats why im flaking

3:25 am

sprite

yes I think so, west. She is an outdoor child, loves to play and ride bike and walk. And we will have a puppy soon too :)

3:25 am

sprite

am finding this grid quite pleasant and not at all hard

3:25 am

westford

better get a bowl of those flakes bf

3:26 am

westford

oh sprite that puppy will be the cure all

3:26 am

o-o

I only had trouble with about 125 of the words

westford

westford

3:26 am

bfsog

in that case i should get 15 more

3:27 am

sprite

the breeder told me that she thinks there are at least 5 pups baking in the oven. If all goes well, that would make sure we get our pick :)

3:27 am

westford

it's going to be hard to choose just one

3:27 am

sprite

can't imagine that, BabbleRabble

3:27 am

westford

they're so cute

3:28 am

sprite

no it won't, west, lol. One is all I can handle and afford.

3:29 am

4:55 am

herinfernallady

HI.

4:55 am

Kazzer99

its very quiet this morning

4:55 am

herinfernallady

I am so excited.

4:56 am

Kazzer99

whats happening

4:56 am

herinfernallady

Maybe getting a kitty

4:56 am

Kazzer99

ooh wow - lucky you

4:57 am

herinfernallady

He is black and like a mini panther. I will cry if we can't have it

4:57 am

Kazzer99

i'd love a kitty or a puppy but we have to wait till i retire - in about 9 years time!!

4:57 am

herinfernallady

He is from a shelter

4:58 am

herinfernallady

We have to wait for an application

4:58 am

Kazzer99

he sounds like he's going to be a lively one

4:59 am

herinfernallady

Oh is so adorable. I have a name for him but I will not say until I get him.

4:59 am

Kazzer99

do they come and do a home inspection? We have an animal place not far from us that rescues all sorts of animals - they have the largest bull - he stands 7 ft plus at the shoulder

5:00 am

herinfernallady

No they don't but they have strict applications. People who have pets and live in houses trumps those that dont

5:02 am

herinfernallady

I walk away and I said to my b.f have a name for him

5:02 am

Kazzer99

i suppose it makes sense but i wish you all the luck in the work in getting him i am off to get a coffee and some pain killers - i have been really suffering since my accident - haven't been able to lay donw to sleep

5:02 am

herinfernallady

What accident?

5:03 am

herinfernallady

Worried mamma face

5:05 am

Kazzer99

last thursday i decided i could fly - my shoe caught on a step (3 from the bottom) and propelled me about six feet forward face down onto a concrete pavement. I have the remains of a black eye, a bruise on my forehead, some broken ribs on the right side, bruise on knees elbows and palms and the worst is a terrible pain on the left side of my chest just under my boob that is stopping me from moving and laying down

5:06 am

herinfernallady

OH KAZ im sorry hun. Gentle hug

5:07 am

Kazzer99

thank you vm - gentle is about all i can cope with - but i wore my bra to sleep last night and that helped a bit - but the codeine is doing a good job as well!

5:08 am

herinfernallady

Can you buy or get someone to get you one of the bras that are cotton and wireless? Just something for support but soft on your skin

5:08 am

Kazzer99

that what i;ve got = sports type that holds it all in place

5:09 am

herinfernallady

thats good. Go take your meds and take care

5:10 am

6:19 am

suefrad625

if you smoke on the front porch

6:19 am

Eva

I'm thinking about how to make my way to the bird feeder and back without losing any appendages to frost bite. Getting ready to leave the house these days is utterly exhausting. Stoke the stove, put on two pairs of pants, two upper layers, winter coat, scarf, hat, mittens, lip protection, boots, cleats, scrape car windows, use mallet to knock ice build off from wheel wells. But if I give up and stay home for too long I get a wee bit weird...to say the least.

6:19 am

suefrad625

go to the back

6:19 am

KristineNas

i dont smnoke anywhere near my kids

6:19 am

suefrad625

KristineNas

ive cut back ALOT , im almost ready

6:20 am

suefrad625

because when you have a problem 3 years later, you want to smoke because it doesnt seem so hard to quit again

6:20 am

KristineNas

lol Trif NOPE

6:20 am

suefrad625

then look in your book

6:20 am

suefrad625

nd you will be amazed at how hard it really was

6:20 am

Trifioso

that is really good advice sue

6:21 am

KristineNas

im not worried about quitting ,

6:21 am

Eva

yup. Giving me the "it's okay....you've made us dependent and if it's your wish, oh mighty one, that we perish of cold and famine, so be it. Don't give us another thought. We're sure y9ou have much more important things to do."

6:21 am

Hey, Herin!!! How are you? :)

8:34 am

Haz1558

I know, Judi, expect the unexpected at all times.

8:34 am

crosshair

the k version,are they not scars as a result of radiation poisioning?

8:35 am

Haz1558

Not just radiation poisoning, it's associated with overgrowth of fibrous tissues after other wounds as well.

8:35 am

crosshair

ahh

8:35 am

Vicuna

Whoops. After that long, restful break, time to go. *sigh*

8:36 am

herinfernallady

Reallly good. I missed you

8:36 am

Haz1558

It's a scar that grows beyond the boundary of an original scar or wound.

8:36 am

Haz1558

That was quick, Vi - maybe see you later.

8:36 am

Nancy Boy

Good to hear, Herin :) I was pretty busy with work for a while - now I'm free to enjoy a gap year :D

I guess you're right, Herin. It'd be lovely to have a real kind of vocation, but at the end of the day my two great loves in life are dressing up and drinking. Difficult to make a career out of that..

LOL, Ata. There is such a fine line between being a bit frivolous with dress and lapsing into drag...I don't have the energy to be a drag queen...
I just love beautiful clothes; beautiful things..

8:49 am

Atalante

I know ... but it must be better than sitting in an office all day!

8:51 am

Nancy Boy

I'm all thumbs, Herin. Much better to have an expensive Italian man make the clothes for me!
I tried a bit of modelling once, for an alternative mag. Hot lights, heavy make-up and standing still with a fixed expression? Not me!
What did everyone want to be when they were little?

8:51 am

jjks

i wanted to be a vet and then an actress

8:51 am

herinfernallady

Someone asked me that and I replied a ball breaking bitch.

8:51 am

Atalante

a vet or a pathologist!

8:52 am

magazinemom

very cool herin.... I may have succeeded at that myself. LOL

8:52 am

Nancy Boy

WOW. When I grow up, I wanna be like Herin..

8:52 am

I recommend Personal Assistant, Nancy Boy. If you have good organizational skills, good fashion sense and don't mind being the only diva in the room...

8:53 am

Nancy Boy

8:54 am

herinfernallady

Hi JJ

8:56 am

herinfernallady

Funny Judi that is what I was thinking PA. l

8:57 am

Nancy Boy

That'd be nice, Herin - lots of competition in those fields though, I guess. It's just asked me whether I'm more shy or conventional!

8:57 am

herinfernallady

Just go with your gut reaction as this is a multiply answer thing

8:58 am

herinfernallady

They may say one thing one way and the same but different

9:21 am

Nancy Boy

Oooh, they are difficult to get used to. It took me a while with mine, but it behaves itself now. My laptop is the reason that I'm still sprawled all over my bed in my jammies.

3:26 pm

bethn

hi nrkii

3:27 pm

nrkii

the shoulder is great stid ... physical therapy started today, and it's going to be a LONG HAUL before I'm recovered, but I'm so happy to be free that I don't care yet

3:27 pm

o-o

no, a prolonged bout with corneal edema that took forever to get correctly diagnosed

3:27 pm

mrpresident

the fright in confronting your possible death, and then the elation of surviving....

3:27 pm

torgone

vids

3:27 pm

mrpresident

corneal oedema!! wow, never heard of it

3:27 pm

torgone

should be a word

3:27 pm

3:28 pm

bethn

sounds painful BR, I am glad you are better

3:28 pm

mrpresident

hi torg :)

3:28 pm

o-o

death is the ultimate R & R

3:28 pm

stidmama

3:29 pm

kje

hi gumball

3:29 pm

nrkii - you have been added to "the list"

3:29 pm

nrkii

thanks kje!

3:30 pm

kje

hope you can ake it!

3:30 pm

nrkii

I think if the weather cooperates I should be okay

3:30 pm

nrkii

my arm isn't strong enough for me to brave driving my car in bad weather

3:30 pm

kje

make... not ake... oops

3:30 pm

stidmama

good to hear you are proceeding with recovery, nrk. Just CRAWL if you have to go out on ice.

3:31 pm

nrkii

my feet are fine Stid! I just have to remember not to do anything too too stupid if I slip

3:31 pm

kje

nrkii - no use for awhile sucks! but it will come back... you should have seen how puny my calf was after 12 weeks nonweight bearing... but it is all better now

3:31 pm

stidmama

that's the thing nrk... *starts putting pads on walkway and wrapping nrk with bubblewrap*

3:31 pm

nrkii

lol stid

3:32 pm

nrkii

kje, they told me 8 weeks of physical therapy, and at least 6 months before I have real progress I'll be happy about

3:32 pm

stidmama

THERE got that lower H grey...

3:33 pm

kje

yep... I was in PT 8 weeks, and still had to work on my own awhile afterthat... but it has been a year now and I hardly think about it anymore

3:33 pm

nrkii

for now, I just want to be able to put the key in the ignition and change the thermostat in my car with my right hand... those will be baby steps

3:33 pm

bethn

you should see progress well before that nrkii, but you wil still be sore for a while

3:34 pm

kje

for me, it was being able to take a bath, nrkii... i just wanted to be able to actually sit in a hot bath! which of course meant getting in and out of a tub, and that is amazingly difficult to do with one leg - LOL

3:34 pm

nrkii

I'm sure it will be a gradual process... doctor and pt both worried I will get discouraged, but I doubt it... impatient and stupid, maybe

3:34 pm

nrkii

kje, hard to do with one arm too, but I have refused to give that up

3:34 pm

stidmama

oh oh... impatient and stupid??? *alarms start ringing* *wraps town in bubble wrap*

3:34 pm

kje

PT is good about keeping people motivated... you'll do great!

3:35 pm

bethn

i kept thinking that i must have reinjured the shoulder during therapy, it doesnt seem possible that such small movements could be so difficult

3:35 pm

kje

I had no choice butto give it up nrkii... but I am now making up for los time!

3:35 pm

nrkii

stupid = pushing past the pain instead of stopping when it hurts... I have to remember to not overdo is all

3:35 pm

stidmama

it is amazing how much things can hurt sometimes...

3:36 pm

nrkii

I don't mind the pain, as long as I don't reinjure

3:36 pm

stidmama

well, I am tired and need a nap before I head out. see you-all again soon!

3:36 pm

kje

OK, I am off... back to the grindstone... hang in there nrkii... and yell at the therapist when needed, they can take it : )

3:36 pm

nrkii

there's still a big spot the surgeon couldn't repair at all, so I have a feeling the stuff he did repair is going to have to work extra hard

3:36 pm

stidmama

and nrk... be impatient if you must, but don't be stupid.

3:36 pm

nrkii

thanks kje!

3:36 pm

bethn

DO NOT OVERDO nrkii! they will have to bump back your therapy levels and it just adds to your recovery

3:37 pm

stidmama

later kje!

3:37 pm

nrkii

bye stid and kje!

3:37 pm

kje
