good morning all... or none ;)

4:04 am

sprite

and since internet is not valid, neither is chog

4:05 am

rbud

hi sprite, I'm slogging along

4:05 am

sprite

hi rbud :) Is it a tough one today?

4:06 am

rbud

not sure, haven't tr5 very hard yet. Starting to look back for Dee's lists in chog now.

4:07 am

rbud

but I have 143 with not too much effort so far.

4:07 am

sprite

ok :) I am still working on the dratted K. 3 left to find.

4:07 am

sprite

now one left

4:07 am

rubyfoo

good morning

4:08 am

sprite

hi ruby :)

4:08 am

rbud

hiya, ruby! :)

4:08 am

rubyfoo

{{sprite}}??

4:08 am

rubyfoo

4:08 am

rubyfoo

you two still here?

4:08 am

sprite

lol... what's with the question marks?

4:08 am

rubyfoo

I have 20 minutes to myself

4:08 am

sprite

I just arrived. One K to go before I can start playing

4:09 am

rubyfoo

I thought you might have left. I usually come into babble just after everybody has left

4:10 am

rubyfoo

my Ruffino has a new trick. After hs walk, he pretends to be Ruby, acts very passive and gets into HER leash and then behave like her (well-behaved, docile) on her walk and Burt doesn't realize. Is that a smart dog or what?

4:10 am

sprite

yayyyyy! Ks killed.

4:10 am

sprite

awwwww

4:11 am

rbud

wow, he is a doggy genius!

4:12 am

rubyfoo

I think it's a hoot!

4:12 am

rubyfoo

skat

4:12 am

rubyfoo

sorry :(

4:12 am

sprite

there she goes, talking trash :)

4:13 am

rubyfoo

(smarter than his mom!)

4:18 am

rbud

took my dear old mom to the grand opening of a JoAnne's fabric store nearby today, wore her out. The place was crowded, knew it would be, but she wanted to get out of her little place for a bit, so off we went.

4:19 am

rubyfoo

rbud is a good daughter

4:19 am

rubyfoo

redate

4:19 am

sprite

it is better to feel worn out and satisfied, than relatively energised and frustrated, rbud. Good job!

4:19 am

rbud

she bought only 3 pieces of plastic canvas, I bought nothing (lines for material cutting were unreal) - so a 40 mile round trip for that, lol!

4:19 am

rubyfoo

<-- can't play and chat bad nel

4:20 am

sprite

lol rbud. But it is really important to get out. I think you did a very lovely thing for your mum.

4:20 am

rubyfoo

but you had time to talk in the car -- very valuable

4:20 am

rbud

she says she's too tired for church in the AM now, oops!

4:21 am

sprite

so... she can pray indoors. And say thank you God for my sweet daughter and a fun trip.

4:21 am

rbud

yes, it was nice. Though I heard the same worrisome story several times. (bank changed hands, she's worried about her money and direct payments going through)

4:22 am

rbud

they assured her nothing has changed, but she still frets. Ah, well.

4:23 am

sprite

ah I can imagine. Must be scary. Asks for a lot of patience, I bet, but I can imagine she worries.

4:23 am

rbud

she's 82 and about 4 ft 10 in tall, almost a foot shorter than me. Little old Ma. :)

4:23 am

sprite

aw sweet :) Quite a respectible age, rbud!

4:24 am

rubyfoo

careful what you say about shorties! I used to be 5'1" -- not any more!

4:24 am

sprite

don't start... I am shrinking already and I am 'only' 46!

4:25 am

sprite

explain to me: oops is valid but eeks is not?

4:25 am

rbud

it was a big event, she's almost never out after dark, lol - told her I'd have to come take her around to see Christmas lights in a couple of weeks when they've put up more of them, she likes that.

4:26 am

sprite

oh yes :) You rock, rbud.

4:26 am

rubyfoo

may I come along? that's something I miss in France. They don't do lights like in NY

4:28 am

rbud

the town's main street is already pretty well decorated, we looked that over tonight. They have all gotten together this year and put a string of the same color along the top of every single building on the street, pretty cool.

4:28 am

sprite

consider coming to the netherlands one year, ruby. It is amazing here in some places. Some villages here are all in lights, for kms on end.

4:28 am

rubyfoo

that sounds lovely

4:29 am

rubyfoo

all they do here is line the church steple with white lights and put up small starry displays on some of the lampposts

4:30 am

rbud

hmmm, son is back in the house, he's excited, going to be going off to the next state with a friend to a job and maybe a life, lol. I'll miss him, but he's 21, it's about time.

4:31 am

rubyfoo

{{rbud}} with emptying nest....

4:31 am

sprite

oh wow. Good for him! Exciting and a bit lonely for you maybe *hug*

4:32 am

rbud

funny how I still think of him as a kid, and yet by that age I myself had been married, divorced, moved across the country a couple of times...

4:33 am

sprite

true. I was living on my own at 16, which is my son's age now.

4:34 am

rubyfoo

see you later, kids, that was a quick 91 but no nbts or 8's

4:34 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

4:34 am

sprite

bye ruby

4:34 am

rbud

night ruby! (((hugs)))

4:34 am

sprite

and if my son would say he would move out, I'd tell him he is definitely too young

4:35 am

rbud

it will be considerably quieter without him and his entourage around.

4:36 am

sprite

I can imagine. Will you miss that, enjoy it, or both?

4:36 am

rbud

these are different times, harder to find work and little cheap places to live like we could back then, or it seems that way to me.

4:36 am

sprite

yes, I think that is true for here as well

4:37 am

rbud

Oh, it'll be nice, but hopefully he'll stay in touch and visit often.

4:37 am

sprite

phone and mail and maybe FB or something like that... should work. Visiting from another state... maybe not that often?

4:38 am

rbud

Just want him to stay out of trouble! he seems to finally be settling down a bit - thank goodness.

4:38 am

sprite

from your mouth to God's ear, rbud

4:39 am

rbud

he and his dad were at odds for so many years, they've been getting along pretty well lately, so that's good.

4:40 am

rbud

and he went through a big drunk phase, and has decided it's not such a good thing, yay.

4:40 am

sprite

yay!

4:41 am

rbud

if he manages to make it to work every day, that alone will be a big thing, he's a terrible night owl like me. Maybe they have a late work shift, he'd do well with that.

4:43 am

sprite

sounds good

4:43 am

rbud

now if I could just get our daughter to get a job again... sigh... she'll be 25 in January and seems quite content back here at home.

4:44 am

rbud

but at least she and her boyfriend are quiet types!

4:44 am

sprite

sounds like it is high time for her to move out and start taking care of herself?

4:45 am

rbud

oh, she did, and had a job, but then their housemate left and they couldn't afford the place, so here they are. still. but they mostly stay upstairs out of our hair, lol.

4:45 am

sprite

:)

4:46 am

rbud

and she helps with Grandma often, too, which is nice. Taxies her around to the store and doctors' appointments, etc.

4:47 am

sprite

that is nice

4:48 am

rbud

Mom's the only grandparent left, my dad and husband's parents are all gone, so we all kind of keep a close eye on her.

4:48 am

rbud

might end up with her living here too, who knows?

4:49 am

sprite

that is so nice. Like old times. Several generations in one house. If you can... wow.

4:52 am

rbud

well, it would have been simpler if I hadn't had to move into the back room so we can redo the front bedroom. now our plans don't really include making it back into a bedroom again, we'll have to see how it all works out. Maybe the old kitchen could be her room for a while, once we move it into the next room.

4:53 am

rbud

long story, lol

4:53 am

sprite

I cannot find either Y. Are they obvious or not?

4:53 am

Glantarell

morning all

4:53 am

Glantarell

ya4 - big hairy beasts

4:53 am

sprite

hiya Glant :)

4:54 am

Glantarell

ye4 - like yi5 to give way but remove a letter

4:54 am

rbud

bottom one is ye4, not a word I'm familiar with, monkeyed it

4:54 am

sprite

ah! Thank you Glant for the ya.

4:54 am

rbud

hi Glant

4:55 am

sprite

and for the ye! Got them both now.

4:55 am

Glantarell

hi rbud

4:55 am

rbud

I still need 5 of those dratted K's, lol

4:56 am

Glantarell

i need 4 of the dratted Ks too

4:56 am

sprite

two start with ky, do you have those?

4:56 am

Glantarell

all mine are KE

4:56 am

sprite

and two start ka.

4:57 am

rbud

ah! one less. found a ka4, that makes two of those so far.

4:57 am

Glantarell

i have the ky & ka

4:57 am

sprite

one ke5/6 combo

4:57 am

Glantarell

that's one i'm missing

4:58 am

sprite

do you want a clue?

4:58 am

rbud

me, too

4:58 am

Glantarell

please

4:58 am

Glantarell

found it

4:58 am

sprite

k + border, rim. And past tense.

4:58 am

sprite

lol... asking is finding!

4:58 am

Glantarell

hi Annie Annie Annie :)

5:03 am

Anniebrook

hi spritey, spritey, spritey :)

5:04 am

sprite

*grins* How are you today, Annie?

5:04 am

Anniebrook

My car got seawater in it but I am able to drive it, steam comes out of the tailpipe so I am bringing the car to a mechanic. I hope it can be saved. Otherwise, I;m okay.

5:05 am

Anniebrook

and how are you, dear sprite?

5:05 am

sprite

I am so glad! Was a bit worried about you. But someone on FB said you were ok.

5:05 am

sprite

*keeps fingers crossed for Annie's car*

5:06 am

sprite

I am ok. Therapy is very taxing atm, but rewarding, so that is a good thing. And my son is being very teenagerish, which is a bit of a problem. But otherwise, all is well here.

5:06 am

Anniebrook

I was away for 16 days at my daughter's home..there are huge generators here supplying us with power. People keep saying this neighborhood looks like a war zone

5:06 am

sprite

it's great to have you back on Babble

5:07 am

sprite

very glad you were safely at your daughter's home then. Is your house ok?

5:07 am

Anniebrook

Thank you so much, sprite, I missed Babble very much. Glad to be home and with my Babble friends.

5:07 am

sprite

you were missed!

5:08 am

Anniebrook

My apartment is okay but there was 6 feet of seawater in the cellar where the transformers are and they are gone. So no electricity, water or heat without the generators.

5:09 am

sprite

sounds like an expensive thing to fix

5:10 am

Anniebrook

The talk is if the wires and transformers have to replaced the cost is 5 million per building and there are 5 buildings. I shudder to think about it.

5:10 am

sprite

oh dear. That is massive!

5:11 am

Anniebrook

The buildings are massive. 23 stories and 3 sections to a building. I find it overwhelming but I am not an engineer.

5:12 am

sprite

me neither. Wouldn't know where to start.

5:12 am

Anniebrook

I walked down 24 flights of stairs in pitch dark with a flashlight.

5:12 am

sprite

omg... and you lived? ;) That is something.

5:13 am

Anniebrook

Not only did I survive but I was carrying luggage (Bobby helped). We knew we would be gone a while.

5:14 am

sprite

how was it for Bobby? Lots of change and stress, could he handle it?

5:14 am

Anniebrook

I feel grateful. Staten Island was devastated and parts of Long Island too. People lost everything.

5:14 am

rbud

how did you get out of the area? di someone pick you up?

5:14 am

rbud

*did

5:15 am

Anniebrook

He took it well. He was with his sister, nephews and brother in law so he was okay. My daughter came and got us.

5:16 am

rbud

oh, that's good, I know the public transit was a mess.

5:16 am

sprite

that is wonderful.

5:17 am

Anniebrook

I spent a day and a half without water, no hot or cold, no heat and no electricity. I said enough so I left. I was in a mandatory evacuation area. I was supposed to leave 3 days prior but I thought I could stick it out but I couldnt. Thanks goodness for Liz

5:17 am

sprite

yay for Liz!

5:17 am

Anniebrook

Public transit was halted for days, I dont know how people got to work w/o cars.

5:19 am

sprite

it must have been hellish

5:19 am

Anniebrook

Pres. Obama was on Staten Island to visit the ruins. He also came to Brooklyn and went on to Long Island. Far Rockaway is still in very bad shape.

5:19 am

rbud

Seems like it almost went better for folks in NY than it did for New Orleans, but I can't help but wonder how many stories have yet to be heard.

5:20 am

sprite

he starts his next period with quite a challenge

5:21 am

Anniebrook

It will take months but we will get through this. I think it went better for NY because NY is more prominent. In Staten Island the Moore family lost both their babies..they were swept away. Awful, awful.

5:22 am

Anniebrook

Yes, the President starts his second term with a very full plate.

5:27 am

sprite

omg... oh that is horrible :(

5:37 am

sprite

fireflies. Good one today!

5:37 am

Anniebrook

YAY for sprite!!!

5:37 am

*hugs* to you all. Have a lovely day and/or a peaceful evening.

You too, sprite

5:49 am

lbdawger

been up since 1:30. had an incident this morning...truck drove into our garage.

5:50 am

Anniebrook

OMG, what a way to wake up..much damage? everyone Okay?

5:51 am

lbdawger

fortunately, the garage is detached...more so now. cars--can't get in to see all the damage.

5:51 am

millsbooks

ei 4 and ei 5.... only 2 of them

5:54 am

Anniebrook

I wonder if the driver of the truck had been drinking? Did he stay?

5:54 am

lbdawger

nope, he ran or they ran. more than likely drunk, sad to say that's a common status of young bucks around here.

5:56 am

Anniebrook

they left the scene of an accident. will not bode well for them. meanwhile, you have all this aggravatiion.

5:56 am

lbdawger

i just hope they have insurance and the truck wasn't stolen.

5:56 am

gramma

Hi there everyone!

5:57 am

lbdawger

hi gramma

5:57 am

Anniebrook

hello gramma

5:58 am

gramma

dawg, check with body shops. I'm sure they'll want to look pretty driving around stoned.

5:59 am

lbdawger

well city and mhp cops are alerted. and we'll just have to wait and see.

6:00 am

lbdawger

we live in the county but the road in front of our house is city, so there are three agencies on alert, city, county and highway patrol.

6:00 am

Anniebrook

dawg, hope this clears up soon and insurance will have to pay to get your garage and cars repaired.

6:01 am

lbdawger

already put in an initial claim with my insurance company. waiting to hear back from them.

6:01 am

gramma

Where I live the police are too busy with traffic violations to bother with crime. (At least they think they're too busy)

6:02 am

lbdawger

the poor trooper that responded had been up for over 23 hours. the man was dead on his feet! short handed due to the state rivalry game in Missoula.

6:02 am

Anniebrook

dawg, then an adjuster will come out and assess the damage.

6:02 am

Anniebrook

herin is in the grid today

6:03 am

lbdawger

I just hope it's later today and we don't have to wait til Monday.

6:03 am

lbdawger

haven't seen herin in ages.

6:04 am

gramma

We had our copper pipes stolen from our house. What a nightmare! Expensive to replace also. The police were called in and they didn't have a clue. So we called salvage/junk buyers. On our second call, the man said he knew who it was.

6:05 am

lbdawger

lucky for you gramma.

6:05 am

gramma

Good luck to you. BBL

6:05 am

Anniebrook

I have to get ready to bring my car to the garage and see if it can be salvaged. See you later. Dawg, good luck with everything.

6:05 am

lbdawger

the culprits here, left the truck in the side of the garage. we know who the owner of the vehicle is, just hope it wasn't a stolen vehicle.

6:06 am

lbdawger

hope your car can be salvaged, Annie. and thanks.

6:06 am

any day on this side of the dirt is a good one for me:)

8:32 am

8:32 am

crosshair

nice sunny day today.may go for walkabout with my better half later;)

8:32 am

Scrabbler

Fishing much, welki?

8:33 am

Scrabbler

I went mountain biking yesterday--10 miles in 37 F degree weather.

8:33 am

Scrabbler

But it was sunny and I really did not feel cold.

8:33 am

smores

sounds like a great idea crossy

8:33 am

welki

nope - ice is too thin and the open water is far to cold to flyfish (for me, anyway) - truthfully, had such a crappy season this summer, that i'm finding it hard to get motivated for winter fishing

8:34 am

crosshair

i would much rather bike 10 miles in 37f than 87

8:34 am

smores

gonna go for a little hike this afternoon myself

8:34 am

Scrabbler

I think that is why I endured so well, Crossy.

8:35 am

smores

brrr.....

8:35 am

Scrabbler

wear layers, smores, then take one layer off at a time when you are sweating

8:36 am

smores

yeah...I know the drill...just don't like it :)

8:38 am

crosshair

yup,layers,layers,layers.i have this amazing ski shell i found at the reuse centre.could never afford one brand new but his is like new and does it ever wick away moisture while cutting wind.just wear a sweater and a fleece jacket under and you are good for anything

8:38 am

Scrabbler

I did some biking with just a long-sleeve wicking shirt.

8:39 am

welki

crossy, if you have moisture problem while cutting wind, you probably should call the doc :)

8:39 am

crosshair

Hello, welki

8:42 am

Scrabbler

There is still surgery to help women with incontinence issues, and I think slings are used. I do not want any more abd surgery although I have bladder issues. Five have been enough.

8:43 am

crosshair

my mrs had a radical hysterectomy years ago and she has been paying for it ever since:(( the pee problem is just one result of that

8:43 am

Scrabbler

Same for me

8:44 am

crosshair

her innards are such a disaster,nobody want to go in and fix anything:(

8:45 am

crosshair

3 cm mass of the fluid? coating? that used to coat and lubricate her innards that has now calcified

8:46 am

crosshair

and things pull and tug in there with pain as a result:(

8:46 am

smores

so sorry :(

8:47 am

crosshair

it is ok smores.now they just talk about pain management and not fixing things

8:47 am

Scrabbler

Peritoneal cyst? I had one removed.

8:47 am

crosshair

been waiting 4 month for a obgyn appt now..

8:48 am

smores

eekk - that is too long to wait

8:48 am

crosshair

that is one area where we lack.we have one obgyn for a 200 mile radius

8:48 am

smores

things ok now Scrabbler?

8:49 am

crosshair

this same obgyn was the one that did my beloveds hysterectome.she was in there for 4 hours!

8:49 am

crosshair

but enough bitching.i hear the cat playing with the pots and pans in the drawer under the stove brb

8:50 am

Scrabbler

It took 4 operations to finally remove all optional parts along with ovarian cysts and a peritoneal cyst. I have lots of adhesions causing pain.

8:50 am

smores

lol....silly kittie

8:50 am

uusue2

hi again all, various doctors and nurses were here but things have calmed down again.

8:50 am

crosshair

ok,rescued kitten.how is frank today suze?

8:50 am

smores

wow scrabbler, 4 operations

8:51 am

uusue2

weak and in pain, crossy

8:51 am

uusue2

things are progressing but it is very slow

8:51 am

smores

is he able to eat anything yet?

8:52 am

crosshair

yes,he has had a rough go.any time you have to open someone up again,it is a real whallp on the patient

8:52 am

uusue2

he tried yesterday but too much gas, he is getting bloated again, so the only thing he is getting by mouth is the occasional ice chip

8:53 am

Scrabbler

It sucks to recover from surgery, Sue. Exhaustion, pain, loss of control.

8:53 am

uusue2

indeed, and he's had two major abdominal surgeries in six days, I can't even imagine what that must be like

8:54 am

Scrabbler

So many drugs in the system--anesthetics, pain meds, anti-nausea meds...

8:55 am

uusue2

plus the TPN...

8:55 am

Scrabbler

Loss of sleep too---> life becomes a blur, time is suspended, ....

8:56 am

uusue2

indeed - and now we are even more anxious before since he's already gone south once

8:57 am

Scrabbler

After abd/pelvic surgery there is always the risk of bowel obstruction from adhesions, whether within days or years.

8:57 am

uusue2

gas pain + nausea = panic on Sue's part :-/

8:58 am

o-o

One of the concerns Frank must deal with is thinking in terms of recovery

8:58 am

Scrabbler

remember that the pain is from skin, muscle, other tissues being cut, torn, stretched and sewn

8:58 am

uusue2

yes, we have been talking about that - I keep telling him that he is healing even when it doesn't feel like it

8:59 am

uusue2

he may be developing an ileus again, they are talking about maybe re-inserting the nasogastric tube - would be his fourth - after surgery itself probably his least favorite thing

8:59 am

uusue2

well, that and the ostomy bag, which he doesn't have any more, thank goodness

9:00 am

Scrabbler

The narcotics contribute to ileus, as does the surgery itself.

9:00 am

crosshair

hehe on a off topic for a second.been playing words with friends for exactly one day and now have 15 games going at once:) with wwf,babble and bookworm adventures all going at once,i think i have entered the hopeless beyond redemption wordie group

9:01 am

uusue2

exactly, but he needs the narcotics, and he certainly needed the surgery. Sigh. It's been a tough couple of weeks.

9:01 am

crosshair

poor frank:((

9:01 am

uusue2

and of course all of this is postponing the chemotherapy, another concern...

9:01 am

Scrabbler

Someday he will look back on this and be amazed at how tough he was.

9:02 am

crosshair

ileus scrabby?

9:02 am

crosshair

damn chemo...

9:02 am

smores

Name that planetarium

9:02 am

Scrabbler

I play Scrabble and Lexulous, but not WWF. The interface (colors, busy-ness of site) are too stimulating for me.

9:02 am

uusue2

indeed he will, scrabs!

9:02 am

uusue2

Adler!

9:03 am

Scrabbler

ileus = bowel muscle being "asleep" and not moving things along.

9:03 am

crosshair

ask about those chemo pills for him suze.he does not sound like he will be strong enough for iv chemo for a while.

9:03 am

smores

9:03 am

crosshair

ahh ok ty scrabbs

9:03 am

Scrabbler

One hour at a time for Frank. Keep him distracted with music and audiobooks and TV

9:03 am

smores

brb

9:04 am

uusue2

yes, I have my iPad here with music, and they have cable TV and internet as well

9:04 am

Scrabbler

ileus occurs during gastroenteritis too, but is short-term and not dangerous

9:04 am

uusue2

hadn't thought of audio books, I'll ask him if there's anything he'd be interested in

9:04 am

welki

wish i had that magic wand, sue

9:04 am

uusue2

me too, welki! I seem to have misplaced it...

9:05 am

uusue2

meanwhile, does anyone have stats for the bottom y?

9:05 am

Scrabbler

Rock Center (NBC) had a feature on the ability of videogames to relieve chronic and acute pain even better than opiates

9:06 am

crosshair

yes,distract the mind

11:27 am

rubyfoo

good evening everybody

11:27 am

Glantarell

Sue, sorry to read about Frank. Wishing you both the very best - make sure he east really well, lots of fresh veg to give his body the best vitamins with whoch to figjht the chemo side effects

11:27 am

Aloyisius

do you have cl6.33, the one that describes big chunks of dirt?

11:28 am

Glantarell

evening Ruby

11:28 am

Aloyisius

hi ruby!

11:28 am

ty aloy -- what a silly word!

11:28 am

cybernan

11:28 am

uusue2

not yesterday, molly, but I have a plan for today

11:28 am

Jillyjill

i'm looking for that one myself

11:28 am

Aloyisius

agree, nan.. thought of a "cloudy" day, lol

11:28 am

Glantarell

ch6 - disease & ch5 - southern way of saying small person

11:29 am

MollyL

Good Sue, I'm sure it will do you a world of good.

11:29 am

Glantarell

Hi Molly

11:29 am

lbdawger

keeping you and frank in my prayers, UU.

11:29 am

MollyL

Hi Glant

11:29 am

uusue2

and thanks, glant! Gnetting him proper nutrition once he can start eating again will be a challenge. He's always eaten very well, but between recovery, celiac, Crohn's, and chemotherapy it will be, well, interesting

11:30 am

cybernan

have the disease, don't know southern dialect for small person though

11:30 am

uusue2

sort of like the South American country but with the sometimes vowel, nan

11:30 am

Glantarell

alt sp of usual word for small person

11:30 am

Jillyjill

Sheesh, twisty piece of dirt...

11:31 am

cybernan

ty sue and glan - new one for me

11:31 am

MollyL

The dirty are always twisted : P

11:31 am

cybernan

missing one i from each tile -- anything unusual there?

11:31 am

rubyfoo

worm?

11:31 am

Glantarell

sue, I followed The Plant Programme diet - and had very few side effects of the chemo - the hospital were really surprised at how well i did

11:31 am

Jillyjill

LOL

11:32 am

uusue2

I'll look it up, glant, thanks!

11:33 am

rubyfoo

if you can get them to put atavan in the drip, Frank will be less nauseous (or even nor at all)

11:33 am

rubyfoo

not*

11:33 am

Glantarell

Thye gave me Zofran to help with nausea but all it did was give me severe constipation - I had no nausea

11:34 am

rubyfoo

I was starvingly hungry all the time

11:34 am

uusue2

the people we've talked to who have had chemotherapy for colon cancer recently have reported very few side effects - no nausea, no hair loss

11:34 am

MollyL

small person = young person

11:35 am

Glantarell

side effects vary from chemo to chemo

11:35 am

Glantarell

depends which substances they use/combine

11:35 am

uusue2

and from person to person; nutrition will be very important whatever the side effects are

11:35 am

MimiCat

Is anyone amazed and angry that we have to tell the doctors how to treat us? Infuriating. I worked with doctors for 30 years and there's one thing I remind everyone: You know what they call the guy who finished last in medical school? DOCTOR.

11:35 am

rubyfoo

I kept thinking my hair wouldn't fall out, so didn't cut it, and it all fell out in one day

11:36 am

Aloyisius

brb.. laundry too today, oh joy, oh jubilation

11:36 am

Glantarell

my oncologist was really frustrated with me all the way through chemo because I kept asking questions LOL

11:36 am

uusue2

well, his hair has been falling out anyway, so no big deal there (although he doesn't want to lose his moustache)

11:36 am

cybernan

Is this Thanksgiving in the US?

11:36 am

uusue2

Thanksgiving is this coming Thursday, nan

11:36 am

MimiCat

Yes, cy---Thurs.

11:36 am

MollyL

This coming Thursday, Nan

11:36 am

Jillyjill

It's Thursday Cyber

11:36 am

rubyfoo

I "shopped" my chemo protocol which was designed by an oncologist in Boston, even though I was in Miami

11:36 am

Glantarell

and at the end he said, see i'd have answered all your questions today. I said I needed the answers when i asked the questions, not at the end of chemo

11:37 am

cybernan

oh -- so last Fri was shopping madness?

11:37 am

MollyL

No, the Friday after Thanksgiving

11:37 am

Jillyjill

Unfortunatly, the goverment here chose shopping over the celebration of harvest as it is in Canada.

11:37 am

uusue2

all the medical staff here have been very accommodating of our questions all along; the surgeon actually gave us a copy of the pathology report

11:37 am

MimiCat

Heym Glan, it is your body and you should ask anything you want and they should be happy to answer. Problem is, sometimes you ask a question they don't have the answer to and that makes them insecure---poor babies.

11:37 am

Glantarell

that's good Sue

11:37 am

MollyL

Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday in November.

11:38 am

Glantarell

they just wanted to 'take care of me', they didn;t want me to make any decisions about what might be best for me

11:38 am

MimiCat

Good for you, sue. You got a good one.

11:39 am

uusue2

probably helps that Frank and I are both well-educated and pretty smart (not that I am tooting my own horn)

11:39 am

Glantarell

I don't think you can fight cancer without being involved in the fight :-)

11:39 am

MimiCat

So if you can't make decisions about your own body, who's supposed to do it? I'd rather have all the information I can get so I can make informed choices.

11:39 am

I think the Internet is driving doctors crazy because patients know much more today than in the past

11:40 am

Jillyjill

Actually, it's two things, a different type of physician plus reimbursement is now directly tied to patient satisfaction...great motivation for MD's to be better about answering questions...

11:41 am

MimiCat

One NP at my cardiologist's office actually told me to stop looking things up on the internet because it would confuse me----never saw HER again.

12:31 pm

can't access the profile - should work by clicking on your icon

12:31 pm

MimiCat

That's what I thought....I entered and updated and even put a picture up. Am I just stupid or what? I logged out and back in, too. Duh!!!

12:32 pm

rbud

try refreshing your account page right after you add the picture? I think that works for me, anyway

12:33 pm

rbud

but I can access your profile by clicknig your "pink purse" as some call them, lol

12:33 pm

rbud

*clicking

12:35 pm

wvteach

go into your account - do you have a check mark in the box in upper right hand corner that says Show My Profile

12:45 pm

MimiCat

Yes, and I checked it. Also tried to upload a picture but it wasn't formatted correctly. I created a flicker account but it changed my log in name. Want it to be MimiCat without the 42. Will keep working on it. Will look for a picture that will be accepted and try refreshing. Thanks, teach!

12:48 pm

rbud

really, I can see your profile, Mimicat, just not your picture.

12:48 pm

wvteach

for your picture it needs to be in a jpg or gif format - i choose clip art that is already in that format - have never used flicker so don't know about that

12:49 pm

crosshair

crossy has no problem using pre made gif,s

12:49 pm

wvteach

yes, i can see your profile if i click on your pink purse

12:49 pm

crosshair

i used several wolves in the beginning,but now i am happy with this one and do not see myself changing him any time soon

12:51 pm

rbud

me either, in fact I have on occasion driven some babblers to distraction by using moving gifs in here, you can do it if they are 32 x 32 pixels to start with. but some folks say it bothers them to see moving things in chat.

12:51 pm

12:52 pm

MimiCat

What is the pink purse? If I click on my profile generic picture, shouldn't the profile come up? I'll try clip art for now, rbud. Back soon.

12:52 pm

rbud

the pink purse is just a joke name for the little head with a pink shirt next to your name

12:53 pm

wvteach

it should come up if you click on your icon (picture) but it isn't - the purse is the symbol to the right of your name and to the left of the flag

12:53 pm

rbud

see, some have blue "purses", some have gray ones...

12:53 pm

crosshair

ty rbud,was wondering about the mysterious "pink purse" thought i was losing my mind

12:53 pm

rbud

I've heard folks call it that over the years, thought it was kinda funny. ;p

12:54 pm

crosshair

looks like a toque with a pom pom on top

12:56 pm

rbud

you know, you're right, crossy, it does look like a little hat to me now, thanks for the change in p.o.v., lol!

1:00 pm

if the world can see a picture 300 different ways,trust crossy to find a 301,st way

1:06 pm

MollyL

A profile will only come up when you click on the icon picture if there IS an icon picture. If not, you have to click on the male/female, pink/blue icon.

3:44 pm

Anniebrook

flosey, nope, it is an old car and I dropped colision years ago

3:44 pm

bichon

In all my years living in the Rockaways, I never thought anything this bad woul happen

3:44 pm

Anniebrook

The Rockaways are in bad shape

3:45 pm

Anniebrook

Allmost all the stores near the ocean are closed and damaged

3:45 pm

MollyL

Annie, I saw a video of what happened in Brooklyn and it was intense. It includes one of the explosions that led to massive power failures.

3:45 pm

bichon

The very worst that ever happened was the bay and the ociean met. But the water wasn't that deep. A lot of nursing homes were on the boardwalk

3:45 pm

Anniebrook

Molly, that explosion happened in Manhattan and Con Ed fixed it in a few days

3:46 pm

flosey

monkeyed that re6/24, unknown one would think normal in sheep country

3:46 pm

Jillyjill

Actually, when we were in hawaii at a lu'au, the couple at our table was from Rockaway-just devasted. I felt so bad for them..

3:46 pm

Anniebrook

A lot of nursing homes are still there

3:46 pm

cosdem

I saw the video too! Posted it on my wall. Scary.

3:46 pm

cosdem

Anniebrook

I hope this area is okay by the summer

3:48 pm

MollyL

Yeah Annie, my mistake. It was Manhattan.

3:48 pm

Anniebrook

No big deal.

3:48 pm

MollyL

And it looked like Bermuda in the midst of the worst hurricane ever.

3:48 pm

Jillyjill

a-sk finito, gonna take a break before the wall of st..brb

3:48 pm

bichon

Was Katrina worse than Samdu

3:48 pm

Anniebrook

bye jill

3:49 pm

Anniebrook

Katrina had many more deaths

3:49 pm

cosdem

is the tr7/32 a pt?

3:49 pm

cosdem

FEMA did well this time.

3:49 pm

MollyL

The problem with this recent storm is that it hit areas that were in no way prepared to deal with what the storm brought.

3:50 pm

wvteach

no, not pt

3:50 pm

flosey

no cos think old fashioned sewing machine, non electric

3:50 pm

Anniebrook

There was no "Your'e doing a good job, Brownie." Makes my blood boil

3:50 pm

bichon

I bet there are plenty of shore dwellers who will rebuild in the same spot

3:50 pm

cosdem

well I mean to say FEMA did better than they did in Katrina

3:50 pm

cosdem

ty for tr7 :)

3:51 pm

bichon

what are the 8's

3:51 pm

Anniebrook

FEMA was here a week later

3:51 pm

cosdem

One more 7 left and its a tr7/36 hmmm

3:51 pm

flosey

yw cos, the other tr7, change second vowel to cons.

3:52 pm

flosey

3:52 pm

wvteach

ST 8/55 and IN 8/40

3:52 pm

cosdem

(wouldnt know how they sound lol but ty got it)

3:52 pm

Anniebrook

3:52 pm

bichon

ty teach

3:52 pm

cosdem

ah they do look the same if you mouth them tyvm 7's done

3:52 pm

flosey

yw cos

3:52 pm

cosdem

NYC had rich people, NOLA had low income.

3:53 pm

bichon

The area of Nola that got hit was the poor folks. Has anyone been watching "Treme"

3:54 pm

cosdem

I have a good friend in NOLA ansd he was evacuated too but he lived in the rich part of town and they weren't that affected there. just the smell was god awful

3:56 pm

bichon

It's hot in NOLA that time of year. No power, AC, must have been unbearable. But, what happened in NYC, NJ was awful too. Most of the people in the Rockaways, except for a couple of wealthier areas, are piss poor

3:56 pm

MollyL

Oh, there are plenty of low income people in New York.

3:56 pm

cosdem

Oh I didn't mean to imply there weren't

3:57 pm

bichon

Coney Island is really poor, lots of projects

3:58 pm

MollyL

New Orleans has plenty of rich folks too. Ala The Garden District.

3:58 pm

bichon

teach, listening to a Blue Grass show from WV, but it's over :-(

3:58 pm

bichon

But, Katrina didn't hit them as hard, right?

4:00 pm

lynxxx

I don't think it matters if you have money or not when you get flooded - it is all quite devastating - especially emotionally.

4:01 pm

Anniebrook

someone at the door, be back later

4:01 pm

lynxxx

well of course it helps if you have money behind you - but you get my drift

4:01 pm

bichon

When you are hit hard and have money you can afford to go elsewhere where this power, etc. If not, you're stuck in the dark

4:04 pm

zoozzoom

And fireworks for me.

4:04 pm

lynxxx

my last word - the blue thing above us all with pt

4:04 pm

lynxxx

Congrats Zooz!

4:04 pm

Anniebrook

There were sick elderly people in the high rises that had no place to go. Even Coney Island Hosp. was evacuated.

4:04 pm

MimiCat

I was in my 20's and got a job (in Atlanta) with Yerkes Primate Center because I met the director of it while I was working at WSB-TV and he offered me the job since I was studying to be a behavioral psychologist and also had experience raising monkeys at home. During that time I was also singing in nightclubs including the Playboy Club. And that's just the tip of the life iceberg!! Smores, told you I was colorful!!!

7:04 pm

they are giving Frank insulin now, since the IV nutrition seems to be kicking up his blood sugar

7:27 pm

Nef

that's nice. I follow my sister's step-grandson on there

7:28 pm

uusue2

Many months ago I mentioned FaceBook to my dad, but he said he was "not a joiner"; I am actually kind of tickled that he joined the caring bridge site

7:29 pm

Nef

it's good he's getting the insulin drip; he'll heal better with a normal blood sugar level

7:29 pm

Nef

your Dad must like Frank, I'd guess?

Mixi that is a little not fair. When I worked hospitality you had a choice of one or the other Christmas or NYE never both

9:24 pm

MollyL

My daughter-in-law is an ER nurse, and she has her choice of one or the other.

he works in computer operations. he works mon-thurs. if it's a holiday, either find someone to cover for you or work. He generally doesn't even ask. (he's the only one on his shift).

9:26 pm

MollyL

Well I hope he gets extra pay for that.

9:27 pm

mixi6

he gets paid for the holiday plus time and a half. so two and a half times pay to be bored.

9:29 pm

MollyL

Shame on his company for not closing on those holidays.

Has anyone heard from Sue today?

11:17 pm

bethn

I think she was on this afternoon peach.

11:17 pm

grannyrose

hello from down under.

11:17 pm

gapeach

Hi there, Rose. How in the world are you?

11:17 pm

bethn

hi granny

11:18 pm

gapeach

Did she mention how Frank is today?

11:18 pm

grannyrose

doing very well, thanx peach. and hey to you, beth

11:19 pm

grannyrose

how are you both?

11:19 pm

gapeach

Hi there, bethn. Hope all is well with you.

11:19 pm

bethn

I believe she said he is very weak, still not able to eat, and his treatment will be postponed till he can get a little stronger

11:20 pm

gapeach

Rose, I feel better tonight than I have in months. That bout with bronchitis was wicked.

11:20 pm

bethn

Doing better, I had a new procedure done on my back this week, and I am just starting to feel like myself

11:21 pm

gapeach

Good for you, bethn. Sending good thoughts to you.

11:21 pm

bethn

are you still on medication peach?

11:22 pm

grannyrose

wtg both of you. i did hydro today with no narcotics on board. think work tomorrow should be okay.

11:22 pm

gapeach

No, I was on what they call a "z-pack". Powerful antiboitic.....only had to take it for 5 days.

11:23 pm

gapeach

Good for you, Rose.

11:23 pm

bethn

yay Granny! those can do a number on your system

11:24 pm

grannyrose

lol, my first week back, and i have to take thursday off on annual leave as they are closing my unit down for 'electrical' work.

11:25 pm

gapeach

Need food.....brb.

11:26 pm

bethn

well I guess that gives you a chance to ease back gently

11:26 pm

grannyrose

beth, not only your system, but your head. you take them, then wonder do i need them? today i he6 my bets, took them with me, but didn't need them.

11:27 pm

grannyrose

beth, what did you have done to your back?

11:29 pm

bethn

They inserted a probe thru the coccyx and used high frequency radio waves to fry the nerves alonb my sacroiliac joint and 4 discs.

11:30 pm

grannyrose

sounds interesting. what do they call the procedure? and, i guess, you have had lower back pain for a while?

11:32 pm

bethn

I think it is a barnham synergy procedure. I fell and broke my back 10 years ago. at the same time I wrecked those discs and my SI joint. I have been having pain remediation done for quite a while to make me functional

11:32 pm

bethn

it is a new procedure (in the US anyway) only been being done for a year or two

11:33 pm

MimiCat

Saw the posts about Sue and thought I'd let you know she was on today and it's possible Frank will be coming home tomorrow. He still has a problem eating. I think Sue is already tired just anticipating taking care of him alone. She may be able to get home nursing and we encouraged her to do so.

11:35 pm

grannyrose

thanx mimi

11:35 pm

gapeach

Thanks, Mimi. I, too, hope she gets home help.

11:35 pm

bethn

absolutely, if she can get help she should. Being caretakerr to someone so ill is overwhelming. she will be more able to help him if she is not exhausted herself

11:36 pm

MimiCat

Beth, I had a similar problem with my back, have had two surgeries done 12 years ago and still have some problems occasionally. The surgeries were terrible, especially the second where they did a fusion and I wouldn't recommend that. I wish you much luck and if you have any questions, I'm happy to give you my perspective.

11:38 pm

grannyrose

mimi, spinal surgery has come a long way in the last decade. they now do a minimally invasive procedure. patients are up the next day, with no restrictions as to position or activity. i's been amazing to see.

11:38 pm

Lizlin

Hi all!

11:39 pm

MimiCat

Hi, Liz!

11:39 pm

bethn

I am avoiding fusion for as long as i can walk mimi. This last procedure was to avoid fusing my SI joint. The life expectancy of that surgery is @ 15 years, and in a woman my age that is not a doer, so we tried this out. I am hoping for good results. It is not permanent, the nerves will regenerate usually about a year, but if it gives me relief then it is a good option

11:39 pm

gapeach

Hi there, Lizlin.

11:39 pm

bethn

hi lizlin!

11:41 pm

MimiCat

I'm sure it has improved. Back problems are very common. The big trap so many, including me, fall into is the pain medication. It can be difficult to break free of it once you get used to taking it. I've been free of the medication for 6 years now and can use Aleve for the occasional flareups. Hey, if they could have zapped those nerves for me, I'd have let them!!

11:44 pm

bethn

I cant do the pain meds for more than a day or two, so I pretty much just suffer when it is bad. I do use lidoderm patches when it is really bad, and it k nocks it back to bearable. you just cant use them often or they lose the efficacy so I save them for " special"

11:45 pm

grannyrose

lol, mimi. with you all the way. i prolapsed 9 discs about 32 years ago, was told if i didn't have a fusion i would be in a wheelchair within 5 years. and here i am, still very much ambulant, surviving a total joint replacement, and ready for the next 10 years. rock on!!!

11:46 pm

bethn

you go granny!

11:47 pm

grannyrose

awww, beth. i am so sorry it has been so bad for you. i do so hope this latest procedure is the solution. can it be repeated? and if so, how long between?

11:48 pm

Christine

Bethn - I just looked at your profile, you're not yet 60, so why is a 15year reprieve not acceptable. By that time, they'll've found another treatment for your problem.

11:49 pm

grannyrose

now, isn't this the strangest thing? we are all within a few years of age to each other.

11:49 pm

bethn

I think they will do it every 10- 12 months as needed. anything more than than that is difficult because the recoup can be difficult

11:50 pm

Christine

I'm so sorry for you, all of you. But we're women!! and we survive!!

11:51 pm

MimiCat

I love it when I complain about aging difficulties and someone says "beats the alternative" because my answer is "How do you know?" In any case, I've nearly died 3 times already but think God leaves me here because he doesn't need the grief of having me there criticizing how he's doing things!!!

11:51 pm

grannyrose

yay!!! women rock!!! and christine, don't waste your sympathies on me...i'm a tough old bird. but love your sentiments all the same.

11:51 pm

Christine

Funny, Mimicat

11:52 pm

bethn

The SI joint is not a really good candidate for surgery, there is only the one option, and according to my doc (recommended by the hospital for special surgery) there is only the one surgery as of now and nothing new has been tried in a long time. If they do ot come up with womething better, I do not want to be wheelchair bound at 75

11:52 pm

Lizlin

Keep on fighting those battles girls! We're worth it!!!!

11:53 pm

mcurlschool

we used to tell my grandmother that God wasn't ready for her yet and Hell was afraid she would take over!

11:53 pm

grannyrose

lol, mimi. reminds me of what i say about my mum. she's going to be standing at the pearly gates, telling st peter how to take care of them.

11:53 pm

Christine

I'm getting a new hip, and another new knee in the New Year - now all I need is a new man, and life will rock, again.

11:54 pm

MimiCat

Until 3 years ago I still sang with a classic rock band so I think I'm doing pretty well. The heart attack earlier this year slowed me down a bit, but I'm picking up steam monthly!!!

11:54 pm

mcurlschool

go mimi

11:54 pm

bethn

are they doing them at the same time, or will they space them?

11:54 pm

Lizlin

Sounds like a fun life Mimi - hope you'll get back to it in some for m or other!

11:55 pm

MimiCat

Hey, Christine, you're more optimistic than I am. I am now officially done with the male companion part of my life. After being married 23 years I'm actually thrilled to be living alone with my cats!!

11:56 pm

grannyrose

beth, can you get some 'pain away' arthritis relief cream? i use it on sore tendons, muscles AND joints. the web site is www.painaway.com.au

11:56 pm

MimiCat

I told my (grown) kids I love them all but never want to live with any of them ever again! Sold the big house and told the kids, "Pay attention--Mom now has a one-bedroom apt. and nobody's coming home!"

11:56 pm

cybernan

arnica cream or gel is also good for arthritic pain

11:57 pm

bethn

I didn

11:57 pm

grannyrose

nan, pain away has arnica in it

11:58 pm

bethn

T have much luck with that one granny, I have tried just about every rub, cream ointment, holistic remedy on the market.

11:58 pm

MimiCat

Hey, ladies, they can slow us down but they can't stop us!!! Good night, all.

11:58 pm

cybernan
