Not even a flake. But my neighbors make up for that. Sorry, couldn't resist. Did you get snow. How is little Mollie.
12:06 am

We haven't had snow in about a week. Mollie says she's all better. Vet says she is much improved, but should still take it slow for a couple weeks

It's not going to be an easy task, is it?

Hi Peach, all well with you today
1:08 am

Pretty much so, pugs. How are things at your house?
1:08 am
gapeach
So, we don't know anything about Rose's surgery yet?
1:08 am
Lizlin
Peach, Lyn clued the ce 6 at 1.03
1:08 am
puglet
right now fine because they are all asleep-:)
1:08 am
jbp
thank you to all the most excellent cluers!!
1:09 am
Lizlin
No they're not pugs! Time problems again. It's 6.10 pm in Melbourne.
1:09 am
puglet
Iam thinking she said she goes in about 8:30 her time
1:09 am
gapeach
Oh, that's right.
1:09 am
Lizlin
So it's Monday evening here and hopefully, she's recovering from the surgery.
1:10 am
gapeach
How are you doing, Yvooria?
1:10 am
puglet
I was talking about my household Liz-lol
1:10 am
Lizlin
Ooops! Sorry!
1:10 am
Lizlin
Thought you were talking about Rose - guess she's on a lot of minds right now.
1:11 am
puglet
I know she is and no biggie
1:11 am
Yvooria
I'm doing great... busy week ahead thought and I just want to keep doing Thanksgiving :)
1:12 am
Lizlin
Those e's are foxing me today!
1:12 am
Lizlin
Having said that, just found 2!
1:13 am
gapeach
That would be nice, eh? But I guess it would get to be tiring after a while. But Christmas is coming.....can it really be this soon. Time is fleeting.
1:13 am
puglet
Dee isnt on, hope shes not ill
1:14 am
Lizlin
Oh! I figured she might've been on earlier, before I got here - small grid, after all!
1:14 am
gapeach
Can anyone email
1:15 am
puglet
I havent seen her and I came on not long after flip===I dont have her email
1:15 am
gapeach
Don? (sorry, hit enter key too soon) Doubt he would have it with him though.
1:15 am
gapeach
I didn't see her Liz.
1:15 am
jillibus
I have rose
1:16 am
Lizlin
I know she was pretty tired after all her entertaining. perhaps she just went to bed early.
1:16 am
jillibus
I have rose's email, but would Don reply to it? Would she have a laptop in the recovery room?
1:16 am
puglet
thats true Liz
1:17 am
Lizlin
Not yet Jilli - she said she be back to babble 2 days after surgery. I guess she'd need time to get over the anaesthetic as well as the op. Don't imagine Don would've taken one with him.
1:17 am
jillibus
oh, you were talking about dee's email - sorry.
1:18 am
jillibus
Don was supposed to check in here and let us know
1:18 am
Lizlin
I'm sure he will when he can.
1:19 am
jillibus
I hope so.
1:20 am
gapeach
Yvooria, we are talking about a dear Babbler....grannyrose, is having or had surgery today in Australia. Lovely person indeed.
1:20 am
Lizlin
Yeah! I think we'll all breathe a sigh of relief to know she's through surgery.
1:20 am
puglet
I know I will
1:21 am
puglet
she wasent sure if it would take 30 minutes or 3 hours
1:21 am
Lizlin
Perhaps she's instructed Don to wait until Sprite might be online but Monday's always difficult for Sprite these days, with her therapy.
1:21 am
gapeach
It is so nice that we are all so close even though we are on different continents.
1:21 am
Lizlin
Hopefully 30 minutes!
1:22 am
Lizlin
Very true Peach :)

Summer's here Lyn!
1:24 am
Lizlin
Weird how the temp just drops like that in Melbourne.
1:25 am
lynxxx
Closer to the Antartic I guess - get the cool weather from down there - we only get the hot air from you lot up there (after it passes over the middle)
1:25 am
Lizlin
full of hot air up here! LOL!
1:26 am
lynxxx
we won't hold it against you
1:27 am
Lizlin
Actually I like that there are no real extremes of temp here.
1:28 am
lynxxx
no cyclones, no floods...no really it is nice up there - just too humid for me
1:28 am
Lizlin
Not too many days of humidity here - couldn't live in Cairns!
1:28 am

Hello nef! Must be nurses day...LOL

hi Jilly. I'm enjoying a few hours of quiet while grandson is in preschool. :-)
1:37 pm
phandmd
You can do it, Jilly!
1:37 pm
hego
Ne! How are you?
1:37 pm
Nef
hi hego! It is looking like nurses day!
1:38 pm
Jillyjill
Had a crazy morning at work. We had 5 procedures scheduled. One canceled but didn't get taken off schedule. Another one ate breakfast...both were mine.
1:38 pm
Nef
I'm okay, hego; how about you?
1:39 pm
hego
Hanging in there Nef, thanks.
1:39 pm
phandmd
That sounds like fun, Jilly
1:39 pm
Nef
LOL! That makes it better than all 5 at the same time, Jilly! :-)
1:39 pm
hego
Sounds like a familiar story Jilly.
1:40 pm
hego
What part of nothing to eat after midnight is hard to get?
1:40 pm
phandmd
the not eating part
1:40 pm
Jillyjill
And it wasted about 2 hours of my time...we now get "productivity reports"....both my issues went on a variance report!
1:41 pm
phandmd
That doesn't sound fun, Jilly
1:41 pm
Jillyjill
Well, it appears patient has known dementia and from discussion with spouse. he is not far behind. Called MD office they are going to get daughter involved.
1:42 pm
hego
too much paper work, always.
1:43 pm
Nef
Okay, nurses; I need to pick your brains a bit. My little sister burst her appendix about a month ago and kept hunting (up by Great Falls MT) for 4 more days (although I don't know what she did really). Now last night she was â„… a rt. lower quad "side ache" and I asked about BMs, bowel sounds, fever, tenderness, appetite, etc. She rated the pains as "at times" a 4-5/10. I told her to go in (she lives in Missoula, MT) but doubt if she did. What would you guys do?
1:43 pm
Jillyjill
LOL...if only paper, NOW it's computer time eating my productivity. Takes about 1/2 longer to do on computer than it did on paper 3 years ago
1:44 pm
hego
drag her in by her hair.
1:44 pm
phandmd
tell her she needs to be seen, like you did.
1:45 pm
hego
Jilly, I realize it's on computer, but still paper work to me.
1:45 pm
Nef
I hear you Jilly. My DH went out and had a beef & bean burrito the day before he was supposed to have his colonoscopy last year (I was working, he went out with a friend) and he didn't remember that until they were done trying to scope him
1:45 pm
hego
too funny Nef.
1:45 pm
Nef
Jilly, how long have you had computerized charting?
1:45 pm
Jillyjill
LOL...know what they found!
1:46 pm
hego
severe case of beanitis.
1:46 pm
Jillyjill
Of course, there was a patient whom read the instructions on clear liquids...mixed and drank his laxative in gin!
1:46 pm
phandmd
I think I am going to walk the poochie
1:47 pm
Nef
Yep. He had to have a repeat 3-4 months later; only we scheduled it so that I was off and could monitor his food closer.
1:47 pm
Nef
OMG, Jilly! Now that must have been some cleansing!
1:48 pm
hego
sounds like a good way to go. lol
1:49 pm
Jillyjill
<---picture stumbling to BR!
1:51 pm
Nef
hego, I live 1100 miles away from my little sister. I did go behind her back and told our baby sister to check on her sometime today and make sure she did go in; but I just hope she isn't so dang stubborn this time. I guess her hubby was very worried about her while they were hunting but she's a stubborn spitfire so he didn't push her until he couldn't stand watching her in pain any more.
1:52 pm
Nef
<or falling asleep on the toilet? (I would imagine that would be the safest place?
1:52 pm
hego
this is just crazy, Nef.
1:52 pm
hego
Does she realize that she could die?
1:52 pm
Jillyjill
yipes...red box...going to close and reload brb
1:53 pm
Nef
She was an LPN back in her 20's; and I told her how stupid she was about not going in….
1:54 pm
Jillyjill
Okay, back. Yipes Nef...I am assuming she had surgery?
1:54 pm
hego
very stubborn
1:54 pm
72 Temple Owl
gin and mirallax
1:54 pm
Nef
she did. Was hospitalized 5 days, went home on IV antibiotics and a wound drain too
1:55 pm
Nef
LOL, TO. Would that be your laxative of choice?
1:55 pm
Jillyjill
She could be developing an abcess. She needs to go in...she could be risking her colon
1:55 pm
72 Temple Owl
i think that is one of the few mixers i would not consume
1:56 pm
72 Temple Owl
i am in pain and cannot take anything for it. but pain is symptom and should bnot be masked
1:56 pm
Nef
Oh, well. I can't micromanage my little sister from a distance; but I did put the fear of adhesions and bowel obstructions in her head. I was just wondering if there was anything I missed.
1:57 pm
Nef
What is the pain from, TO?
1:57 pm
hego
that's all you can do, Nef.
1:57 pm
72 Temple Owl
nef arent you a nurse?
1:57 pm
Jillyjill
Ya wanna me go 'pay her a visit'?

2:00 pm
Nef
Can you take tylenol, TO?
2:00 pm
Nef
How about heat or ice packs?
2:00 pm
72 Temple Owl

2:01 pm
72 Temple Owl

2:01 pm
Nef
Oooh, Jilly! You are nasty! ;-)
2:02 pm
Nef
DRAT, TO. That didn't work well.
2:02 pm
Jillyjill
Well, unfortunatly, it is true. We had someone, not sure if post appy, but whom got a massive abdomenal infection and it cost her all of her intestines
2:02 pm
hego

2:03 pm
72 Temple Owl
i need to attend to the 13 remaining words
2:04 pm
Jillyjill
Nutrition through central line (like an IV but placed in chest vessel
2:04 pm
Nef
yeah, I remember a 16 year old like that back in the '70's, Jilly. He ended up with 5 huge fissures too. :-(I did tell her about that when she finally told me about the apply.
2:04 pm
hego
what a way to live, poor thing.
2:04 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh my
2:05 pm
hego
they have been doing small intestine transplants for a while now.
2:05 pm
Nef
Sorry, TO. Should we stop talking "shop?" As nurses, sometimes we forget about non-medical people not used to stuff like this
2:06 pm
72 Temple Owl

2:06 pm
hego
My son used to hate to have lunch at the hospital with me.
2:07 pm

Jillyjill
We had one of those 'tough' Montanans in last week for a colonoscope. 60, had declined procedure for 10 years. Came in with rectal bleeding. We found tumors in his rectum and lower colon. Makes me so frustrated...so preventable

72 Temple Owl

2:08 pm
Jillyjill

2:09 pm
hego

2:09 pm
Nef
TO, I've never worked in a cancer center. But have had many cancer patients through the years.
2:09 pm
Jillyjill
I bet you did!!
2:09 pm
72 Temple Owl
i just dont think cancer and hospice can be sanitized, wrapped up in a neat little holiday box
2:09 pm

Hope all is well now Chris.
2:09 pm
72 Temple Owl
ditto, chris
2:10 pm
ChrissieDee

2:11 pm
72 Temple Owl
everything i have seen about cancer is ugly and is unimaginable until it hits home.
2:11 pm
ChrissieDee
Doing well here. How are you TO?
2:11 pm
Jillyjill
Had a friend here whom we also found her colon cancer, she also staved off screening exams. They owned a big business here...they got every single one of their employees that needed screenings to come in, even helped some of them $$. It changes your perspective
2:11 pm
72 Temple Owl
fine, ty, chrissie. i bit under the weather but it will pass
2:12 pm
crosshair
i never,ever, EVER skip tests. i have learned the hard way
2:12 pm
Jillyjill
Well, some cancers are easily treated TO, but when one can actually get a test to PREVENT cancer and doesn't...just breaks my heart
2:13 pm
72 Temple Owl
my question is whether transfusions are normal during chemo. i had never heard of one till now
2:13 pm
hego
you're a good boy Crossy
2:13 pm

I am on Medicaid and had to fight to get a colonoscopy due to family history at 36

2:14 pm
suefrad625
I am now 49 and would clean. I would have a died if I had to wait until 50
2:14 pm
72 Temple Owl
well neuprogen was working, perhaps to stay on schedule for an aggresive cancer
2:14 pm
Nef
I had a lot of relatives with cancer. It isn't a pretty disease; but I think with screenings and such we can do better than what's been done in the past.
2:15 pm
crosshair
i had several transfusions during and after my chemo
2:15 pm
72 Temple Owl
goos for you, sue, it is great you would not take no for an answer. too many olkd are very passive about health care
2:16 pm
Jillyjill
TO, it is common to have transfusions with chemo
2:16 pm
crosshair
my white count was shot to hell,so the transfusions and other meds helped
2:17 pm
72 Temple Owl
care changes veryquickly. my om said she had to practically dead before she could have neuprogen. now given routinely by home aide
2:18 pm
Jillyjill
it is estimated that over 90 percent of patients with colorectal cancer could be cured if detected at an early stage, colorectal cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer death in the nation. The screening rate for the disease is behind that of other cancers, with only 30 to 40 percent of people over 50 years old actually being screened.
2:18 pm
suefrad625
I fought to get my 13yr old into an endocrinologist because of his weight. everyone told me that he would hit his growth spurt soon and to wait. My family is riddled with diabetes and I insisted we go. He was found to have skin tags under his arm, which is a sign that he has the gene and would have been in trouble very soon if he diet and exercise was not drastically changed. I knew this to be true, but everyone else said I was being to protective. I mother knows! Now, if his father or anyone else doesn't follow the plan, he does not go there until they do.
2:19 pm

skin tags under the arms are a proven indicator???

unrelated question: can i still eat turkey from thursday? i hate to throw out the yummy bird. ate it yesterday and i am gine.
2:24 pm
suefrad625

2:25 pm
hego

2:25 pm
phandmd
I agree. depends on how it smells.
2:25 pm
hego

2:25 pm
72 Temple Owl

2:26 pm
72 Temple Owl

2:26 pm
hego
I should try that next year.
2:27 pm
72 Temple Owl
hego, they had them marinated ready to cook and cooked. very very specific heating instructions, to the second.
2:27 pm
hego
I may do it.
2:27 pm
Nef
I hope it was freshly cooked on Thursday and not just re-heated from the day before.
2:28 pm
72 Temple Owl
i just don't understand why the stuffing did not taste as good. yes,nef
2:28 pm
72 Temple Owl
i mean the stuffing leftovers not as good as fresh. odd.
2:28 pm
Nef
I usually will toss cooked meats after 5-6 days if they are still around (which doesn't happen often here)
2:28 pm
hego
I think they were brined Nef, which helps them last longer.
2:29 pm
72 Temple Owl
except cold cuts ham, that goes very quickly and gives no odorous warning
2:29 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes, the bring had honey and plum sauce or puree
2:30 pm
suefrad625
we use the Char-Broil The Big Easy TRU-Infrared Oil-less Turkey Fryer . 16lbs in 3hrs outside.
2:31 pm
Nef
I have a tendency to freeze about half of our leftovers right away. That way, we will have something to eat in a hurry (and less waste)
2:31 pm
72 Temple Owl
wow, how does that work? a chef i know uses the indoor turkey fryer now exclusively
2:32 pm
72 Temple Owl
well i thought i would have leftover for aid for friends meals but unfortunately small birds are bony. emnought for two meals and a couple of sandwiches
2:32 pm
suefrad625
I do not fry the bird, it is infrared heating
2:32 pm
72 Temple Owl
like a rotisserie?
2:32 pm
suefrad625
it makes the skin amazing all over and there is no grease on the bird. and you can cook any meat in it also
2:32 pm
suefrad625
yes temple
2:33 pm
suefrad625
but you stand it up in a cage
2:33 pm
72 Temple Owl
bet it was juicy
2:33 pm
suefrad625
amazing temple and really easy to clean up after
2:34 pm
suefrad625

Nef, did you drink flouridated water when you were pregnant and was it in her drinking water?
2:57 pm

I actually miss snow!

MimiCat
But I've been here 30 yrs., so guess I don't miss is THAT much!
3:03 pm

it's so pretty ;-) but then, I don't do much of the shovelling.
3:04 pm
Nef
It is snowing here now. I guess they have several inches up north in my home town (NW Minnesota); but it hasn't stuck here in the Twin Cities yet (but this snow just might stay….
3:04 pm
bichon
snow is pretty, til it gets dirty and piled up real high. Snow is fun if you enjoy the outdoors on it or you're below the age of 16
3:05 pm
MimiCat
I keep asking but no one seems to know what has happened to lillian...anyone have info? She hasn't been around for a long time.

I only need the ti 6 for firewords. Anyone help
3:06 pm

Well, I joke that I moved south for the warmer climate; and we still have snow here. I don't mind it too much unless I have to shovel it (we've been hiring someone to do that the past 3 years though)
3:07 pm

She's the one who always talked about her "bairn", right ? I haven't seen her in ages either.

I'm concerned about her, Nef...she is wheelchair-bound and her daughter was being rather abusive toward her. She is such a sweet lady. I tried looking through Rankings because she did have her email in her profile but nearly went blind looking through all those...will try again.
3:11 pm

Oh, yes, crossy...so nice to have intelligent conversation with a really great person. That's another reason I enjoy this community so much.

alien chipmunk doc"??? what the heck is that?

i do not blame you re: the alien chipmunk, mimi
3:17 pm
MimiCat
This dr. is horrible at dictation...she sounds to me like an alien chipmunk with OCD on drugs...honestly...worst I've heard in 40 yrs.
3:18 pm
hego
not affectionate...lol
3:20 pm
MimiCat
There's just no excuse to dictate that carelessly..makes no sense since she could get sued. The problem is that transcriptionists have been called in as parties to those lawsuits and since I'm not a bit comfortable with her dictation, I just won't do them. Plenty of work with the doctor I can understand.
3:20 pm
MimiCat
She won't be fired, though, since she owns the practice.
3:20 pm

it is sent,mimi
3:21 pm
Nef
When I was a County Health nurse in the early '70's "Up North" I had a little tape recorder that I could dictate my nursing notes on and the secretary would then transcribe them. But if I left the recorder out in the car and it was 40 below zero, the batteries were slow and the tapes would be recorded at a slower rate than normal. When she went to transcribe them, they sounded like the chipmunks!
3:23 pm
MimiCat
Got it, crossy....going to sent the em in a few minutes...thanks, my friend.
3:23 pm
hego
I wonder what nickname she gave you?
3:25 pm
MimiCat
Well, that kind of thing is understandable, Nef. This woman is just ridiculous as far as I''m concerned. She's even worse than the dr. who used to take the mini-tape into the bathroom and dictate while urinating...ick. But I could still understand him...stream...drip...stream...drip.
3:25 pm
Nef
we just had some great laughs about it. Then I had to write the notes out myself and she transcribed them from my written notes.
3:25 pm
Nef
Ewww, Mimi!!!
3:25 pm
MimiCat
Hego, since I work for a service, she doesn't know me at all so no nicknames. I'm gloriously anonymous to her!
3:26 pm
hego
no, no, I meant Nef's chipmonk voice.
3:27 pm

I have about 15 minutes until my grandson returns; so if I disappear, I'll be back tonight after he's asleep.

Wise man!
4:04 pm
welki
he's good that way - did the same during the flood. of course, those who did stay home (and are city employees) ended up getting a little of their pay withheld, me included. so the message is, 'i really want you to stay home. i implore you to stay home. and if you do, you'll lose about 10% of your daily wage, even though i'm telling you to stay home."
4:04 pm
dianedecoder
People were going home early in Lethbridge.... my granddaughter being one of them. It's a blizzard down there, with their normally strong winds !

Hi mimi. Yes, I like the location, too but the gray winters are profound. When I worked, I was indoors and the gray days were not so apparent.
5:53 pm
MimiCat
I have the opposite problem here..it is almost always sunny. Most people like that but when I'm in a bad mood, I want some gloom! I miss the changing of the seasons still...and I have been here for most of the last 30 years. ♪Memories light the corners of my mind♪
5:56 pm
stidgmere
Yes, the nice thing about memories, apparently, is that one can rework them to suit the current situations. I know I would be a dreadful witness in the courtroom.
5:58 pm
MimiCat
My favorite season was always autumn and loved the crisp air and the colorful leaves. Here in Phoenix the only color change we have is from light brown to dark brown.

I think fall is also my favorite season. The months seem to fly by faster with increasing age. Hard to believe we can almost put 2013 behind us.
