1:36 am
jillibus
doh, also over halfway, lol!
1:37 am
grannyrose
ugh, cos. poor friend...that can be so painful. when you put your foot down to the floor, it hurts like hell.
1:37 am
puglet
I went from slow to a crawl and now Iam at a stand still
1:37 am
cosdem
he has to walk with a walker now. they released him early cause of insurance. and he has to take care of his elderly mother and his sister who has only 6 months left to live. yeah hes in awful pain
1:38 am
grannyrose
and you look so lovely at a stand-still, pugs
1:38 am
jillibus
what a load for the poor guy, cos!
1:39 am
cosdem
13 left and ive given up. about to list. yeah it is awful i feel so bad for him but he is taking it in stride.. hes making fun of himself with walker.. but i can tell hes scared
1:39 am
grannyrose
i hope his doc. has put him onto oxycodone. it's a good analgesic. copy it down, and ask him. there are slow-release, and quick-release, for break-through pain.
1:40 am
cosdem
okay thank you! he has tramadol and he says it does not do him any good.
1:40 am
puglet
thats cause you cant see me---I look like the lady in the cartoon I sent you right now
1:40 am
puglet
probablly worse
1:40 am
cosdem
sent him amessage on fb with that info!
1:41 am
grannyrose
yeah, he needs to change his pain meds. check if he is taking panadol osteo or brufen regularly, too
1:41 am
jillibus
rose, some things have different names here
1:42 am
grannyrose
or he can take both. they work along different pain-pathways.
1:42 am
cosdem
ah good point jill
1:42 am
cosdem
ill make sure he knows that too and make sure he researchs as well
1:42 am
grannyrose
yes, jilli. perhaps cos could google what i have written, and 'translate' for me
1:43 am
cosdem
yep rose ill do that too !
1:43 am
grannyrose
poor man...i hate to think of another going through so much pain, simply because doc. is unknowing.
1:44 am
cosdem
I feel so bad for him. His mother is moaning "who will take care of me" while he is suffering and his sister is in the next room dying of terminal breast cancer
1:44 am
puglet
yeah and with that many stitches every step pulls those---yikes
1:45 am
cosdem
I wish I could go to Iowa and help him out but.. work you know?
1:45 am
grannyrose
*shakes head* yeah, we had the same problem here..with the MIL
1:46 am
grannyrose
but, cos, if you help him with this information, his life can only improve, mate.
1:47 am
cosdem
thats true. it ssomething at least
1:47 am
puglet
with him being a bad diabetic too the healing will take longer
1:47 am
grannyrose
get a good pain management regimen in, and you're over halfway there.
1:48 am
cosdem
and to make things worse he lives in the middle of nowhere.
1:48 am
cosdem
the nearest walmart is a hour away.
1:49 am
puglet
how old of a man is he
1:50 am
cosdem
hes a good guy he gave me and ryan a home for a short time when we lost our hoouse years ago. with nothing expected in return.
1:50 am
puglet

1:51 am
grannyrose

1:51 am
cosdem

1:52 am
puglet

1:52 am
grannyrose
sometimes the best people are put in the worst situations. my heart goes out to him, cos. if he's not too embarrassed let him know i, for one, am praying for him.
1:52 am
cosdem
He will appreciate that.

hello dearest. are you still here? if so, i am glad to have popped back in.
3:31 am
sprite
I am :) *hugs rose* How are you today?
3:33 am
grannyrose
hello dear. decided to reject GP's idea of reducing pain meds. at least for another week. i have come to the realisation that most docs. are unaware of what their patients are going through. are you doing well?
3:34 am
sprite
very good decision, rose. Too early is as bad as too late to stop with painkillers. Try again in a week and take it from there :)
Oh, I am fine. Doing pretty good with eating regularly and not bingeing at all.
3:36 am
grannyrose
yay, you, sprite. i am so proud of what you have achieved
3:36 am
sprite
thank you :)
3:37 am
sprite
how is the room coming along? Fang been by already?
3:38 am
grannyrose
not til next tuesday...3 days here...i have suggested that she take home with her several bags of rubbish, etc. we have filled our rubbish every week, and the re-cycling has gone into over-time..lol
3:39 am
sprite
good idea. I bet she will have a reason not to do it though :)
3:40 am
grannyrose
we have bins and bags full of stuff every where.
3:40 am
grannyrose
*giggle* i plan to put it on the road in front of and behind her car.
3:41 am
sprite
I ho4 you will give her hell if she declines. After letting you and Don do all the work and making you wait until she is good and ready, it is the very least she can do.
3:41 am
sprite
oh brilliant idea :D
3:44 am
grannyrose
i think when she finds out how much HER shinanigans have delayed probate will probably hurt the most..
3:45 am
sprite
such poetic justice in that. Forgive me for gloating.
3:45 am
grannyrose
why? i'm gloating into overtime here.
3:46 am
sprite
*giggles* Ok, unashamed gloating here then.
3:47 am
sprite
fireflies. That was a quicky.
3:47 am
grannyrose
WTG SPRITE!!!
3:48 am
grannyrose
yeah, i haven't had a quickie for ages....
3:48 am
sprite
lol... me neither... got time for better than that :D
3:50 am
sprite
I guess I had better get cracking then. No excuse for postponing anymore. We need bigger grids!
Sleep well, dear friend. And have a lovely day tomorrow. *hugs*
3:50 am

xoxox, sprite. hope you have a grand day, dear.

7:42 am
lbdawger
hi wv, scrabs, molly, hagd everyone. I'm off to start cleaning...way too much fun at my house.
7:43 am
Scrabbler
We need another grid.
7:44 am
Scrabbler
It will rain all day, and ruin the beautiful snow, so I may spend the day housecleaning.
7:44 am
wvteach
hello dawger
7:45 am
wvteach
raining here also
7:45 am
Scrabbler
We have tons of snow, so much will remain, but it is heartbreaking for those of us that love snowsports.
7:46 am
crosshair
yaa for scrabby!
7:47 am
crosshair
yes, we also have tons of snow on hand,but this mild temp is making it 'sticky"
7:47 am
crosshair
plus 6c here at the moment:((
7:48 am
Scrabbler
I might snowshoe instead today as the canopy of trees in the woods will preserve that snow.
7:49 am
crosshair
crossy loves his snowshoes. problem is that i am a perpetual disaster after just 2k or so:(
7:50 am
crosshair
1 k out, 1 k back
7:50 am
Scrabbler
Yes, when you get tired and stop lifting your feet you trip and do a faceplant into the snow.
7:50 am
crosshair
then wife says i smell like crossy bear
7:52 am
Maryte
Good morning fellow Scrabblers!
7:52 am
crosshair
i have these great antique bamboo ski poles with a lovely spear on the base of each so i do not face plant too often, which is good because it take a bit to get this much beef back upright
7:52 am
crosshair
howdy maryte
7:53 am
Maryte
A faceplant is still better than getting up from a Backplant which I encountered last weekend!!
7:53 am
rubyfoo
I only snowshoed once and wound up in a drift up to my armpits and had to be pulled out
7:53 am

7:54 am
crosshair
well,grid is done. may as well feed the cats and make a tea.brb
7:54 am
Maryte
with a faceplant (love that term) you at least have your knees to bend to help get back up!
7:54 am
crosshair
knees? what are these knees you speak of? mine are full of bursitis:(
7:55 am
rubyfoo
at least with big grids, I can play a while.
7:55 am
crosshair
doc said to work them,so i am
7:55 am
rubyfoo
With one this small, I don't finish but don't even spend enough time to make it fun
7:55 am
Maryte
...work it! work it!
7:56 am
crosshair
lol, legs and buns of steel. everything else is still shot to hell
7:56 am

Morning all. Ruby, how is it coming with the theft of your husbands wallet?
8:00 am

we are about 2 1/2 hours north of there
8:00 am
Anniebrook
good morning everyone
8:01 am
rubyfoo
I have to redo all the paperwork and nothing ever turned up. I was hoping they'd keep the money and throw away the wallet
8:01 am
rubyfoo
No such luck
8:01 am
rubyfoo
He is very depressed about it
8:01 am
BzznBea
So sorry for all the hassle.
8:01 am
MollyL
It's scary that they got his Social Security number. That is the key to identity theft.
8:01 am
rubyfoo
thank you for aking, bzzn
8:01 am
rubyfoo
{{annie}}
8:02 am
rubyfoo
and there is no need to carry that card!

BzznBea
Good morning, Annie.
8:02 am

((ruby))) they probably threw away everything but the money...
8:02 am
Anniebrook
morning, Bea
8:03 am
Anniebrook
I never carry my Soc Sec card with me
8:03 am
rubyfoo
but you'd think someone would have turned what was left in to the police or the store
8:03 am
crosshair
you know you are a hopeless babble case when you have finished the grid and you catch yourself looking for more words
8:03 am
Anniebrook
If they found it, probably thrown into a body of water
8:04 am
rubyfoo
hahah crossy
8:04 am
rubyfoo
it was taken very far from the lake
8:05 am
crosshair
we have wallet thieves of course but a habit of late seems to be to take the money and the credit cards then they just dump the wallet in a post box. the owner gets his id back that way
8:05 am
MollyL
Did you get in touch with Social Security, Ruby?
8:05 am
rubyfoo
my local policeman said to wait 2 wks before replacing all the papers
8:05 am
BzznBea
Considerate theives.
8:05 am
rubyfoo
no luck, so far, Molly. I keep leaving messages
8:06 am
crosshair
considerate, yes, but they get as much as they can from the CC first before it is cancelled
8:06 am
rubyfoo
<<very tired
8:06 am
Anniebrook
ruby, replace the credit cards now so the stolen ones cannot be used
8:06 am
crosshair
or used to. now it is all pin numbers
8:06 am
crosshair
credit card, ruby
8:07 am
rubyfoo
only one credit card was taken and I canceled it immediately and he already received the replacement
8:07 am

11:17 am

Malnourished grid
11:19 am
crosshair
since I finished this grid hours ago and am bored stiff and am avoiding housework, it is now time for crossy's ten rules for life!
11:19 am
crosshair
1. Never give yourself a haircut after three margaritas.
2. You need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.
3. The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship are "I apologize" and "you are right."
4. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
5. Never pass up an opportunity to pee.
6. If he/she says that you are too good for him/her - believe them.
7. Learn to pick your battles; ask yourself, "Will this matter one year from now? How about one month? One week? One day?"
8. When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm.
9. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance!
10. Living well really is the best revenge. Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship just might mean that the other person was right about you.
11. Work is good, but it's not that important. Money is nice, but you can't take it with you. Statistics show most people don't live to spend all they saved; some die even before they retire. Anything we have isn't really ours; It's on loan to us while we're here ...even our kids.
12. And finally...Be really good to your family and/or friends. You never know when you are going to need them to empty your bedpan.
11:19 am

we have been debating about geting a hand gun for protectin especially since our neighborhood is " changing".. however the debater has been going of for 20 years and we still haven t done it... we have a louieville slugger annd two attack cats and a 6 foot walter with a vicious disposition when riled. hoping that is enough

5:07 pm

a couple of those ho words are ridiculous...
5:07 pm
MimiCat
Trying to keep my mind off the BBQ brisket I have cooking in the slow cooker...smells TOO GOOD.
5:08 pm
Soodle
Burt reynolds! Definitely Burt Reynolds.
5:10 pm
MimiCat
OK, babe..here goes...I was working at a TV station in Atlanta, GA and they have a 4th of July parade every year. This year Burt Reynolds was the grand marshal. I drove him in a convertible and then went to the cocktail party with him after. I was only 21...he was older...and filming Deliverance, so was totally BUFF! He was charming, funny, sweet and, DARN IT, a total gentleman...sometimes a girl just can't get a break!
5:11 pm
MimiCat
Still working on my book...MANY other stories, some perhaps not appropriate for Babble.
5:13 pm
MimiCat
Want the last boy toy story?
5:14 pm
phandmd
well, I see it's a nice and tiny puzzle for my birthday today!
5:14 pm
MimiCat
BTW, if I had been older and more experienced, Burt never would have escaped unscathed...if you get my drift.
5:14 pm
MimiCat
Happy Birthday, phan! Wanna give us the number?
5:15 pm
phandmd
The big 50!
5:15 pm
phandmd
How fun that you got to meet Burt Reynolds! Too cool!
5:15 pm
MimiCat
Whoa---that's a difficult one. I was fine with 30 and 40 but 50 hit me hard...60 was even worse. Now, at 62, I just don't give a rip!
5:16 pm
phandmd
Eh, 50 isn't that bad. 30 was harder for me.
5:16 pm
MimiCat
My life is a miniseries, phan...thus, the book. Difficult to write, though...had to decide how honest I was going to be. Am going with COMPLETELY HONEST.
5:17 pm
phandmd
Nice that you have a life interesting enough to write about.
5:18 pm
phandmd
this puzzle seems like a tricky one...
5:18 pm
MimiCat
I loved 30---knew I would be more of who I should be and felt validated. Same with 40. But 50 was tough. Fortunately, I didn't have grandchildren until I was 60...that helped. Had all my kids in my 30s so I still have 2 in their 20's...makes me feel younger somehow.
5:19 pm
phandmd
interesting. I have 19, 21 and 23. 23 year old is married and doesn't want kids. I long to be a g'ma. But I guess if it happens I will be older...
5:20 pm
MimiCat
I'm looking forward to my two grandsons getting older so I can totally spoil them and really get into their minds. Bonding won't be an issue...we have a "common enemy" in their parents!
5:21 pm
MimiCat
BTW, phan...love your dog photo! I miss my German Shepherd every day and she has been gone 8 years.
5:22 pm
MimiCat
Soodle, are you still here? Want more stories?
5:22 pm
phandmd
Thanks. She isn't a pure bred, but she looks like it. She did loose her saddle as she grew up.
5:22 pm
phandmd
she is nearly 5 now
5:23 pm
phandmd
1/2 way now.
5:24 pm
MimiCat
I considered mine my 4th child...extraordinary dog. When I nearly died and came home but couldn't climb the stairs easily, she automatically paced herself with me up the stairs to "protect" me. From that day forward, even though I was well, she NEVER let me climb the stairs without her. She got lymphoma at 7 and died in 6 months after.
5:25 pm
MimiCat
I feel blessed to have had her in my life.
5:25 pm
phandmd
She sounds like a lovely girl. so sorry how she died; Cancer sucks!
5:25 pm

Finito. Still listening to Seahawks game as TV has expired during the first quarter. Good practice, listening. Researching TV types. We don't need a big screen.
5:26 pm

way to go g'mere
5:26 pm
MimiCat
She didn't seem to suffer at all, phan...had her on prednisone and she was fine right until the end...thank God, because I couldn't have handled her suffering.
5:26 pm
phandmd
well, that is a blessing, Mimi
5:28 pm
MimiCat
I now have 3 cats, all were strays, and, though it may sound a bit "out there," I'm convinced her spirit sent me the 1st of my cats. He is such a great cat and his eyes are wise...if you know what I mean.
5:28 pm
phandmd
well, I got through the list and found all but 9 words.
5:29 pm
phandmd
I firmly believe that is higly possible. That, and special.
5:29 pm
stidgmere
Any clues needed phandmd?
5:29 pm
phandmd
All of my animals are rescue animals. I have Jazz, the shepherd and 2 cats.
5:30 pm
phandmd
Yes please. let's start with AE 6
5:30 pm
stidgmere
To get oxygen to things you ae****.
5:30 pm
MimiCat
I am not religious at all but am very spiritual. Animals have been close to me all my life. Have worked at zoos and wildlife parks and raised gorillas, chimps and orangutans at a primate center. I value their spirits as much as humans.
5:32 pm
phandmd
sounds exciting, Mimi!
5:32 pm
72 Temple Owl
hello, babblers.
5:32 pm

Hi TO just giving clues as needed.
5:32 pm
MimiCat
Gorillas are the BEST---so gentle and soulful.
5:32 pm
phandmd
Thanks, g'mere. I totally forgot about that word; we have done that to our grass on occasion.
5:32 pm
stidgmere
We have done that too, also we need to get the moss out of the lawn.
5:33 pm
MimiCat
The slow cooker brisket is now calling me and I must answer. Have a good night and hugs all around.
5:33 pm
stidgmere
ag is a type of pretty stone.
5:33 pm
72 Temple Owl
i've heard that is hard to do.
5:33 pm
phandmd
I really like that stone too! This puzzle has so many A's that it is hard to see those A words!
5:33 pm
stidgmere
Good night Mimi sounds delicious, bon apetit!
5:33 pm
72 Temple Owl
get moss out of a lawn, i mean
5:34 pm
phandmd
enjoy, Mimi
5:34 pm
72 Temple Owl
enjoy, mimi!
5:34 pm
stidgmere
To get moss out? easier to have a moss lawn up here in the great Northwest.
5:34 pm
phandmd
That last clue helped me figure out the ER 6, so thanks double, gmere
5:35 pm
stidgmere
Lots of words with "swinging" portions in them.
5:35 pm
phandmd
the HO 6's?
5:35 pm
stidgmere
the ga 6, 20 is a piece of cake.
5:36 pm
phandmd
Yeah, I got that one myself...
5:36 pm
72 Temple Owl
i don't want moss. it is there because of weedkiller use by neighbors.
5:36 pm
stidgmere
Lots of the birds in the ho words. First ho 6 is a the 4, 6 with Edgar Allen *** ending.
5:37 pm
stidgmere
It's there because our soil is very influenced by the fir trees.
5:38 pm
stidgmere
the next ho 6, 20 is like the first but the ending is like that which we use to wash our hair sham***.
5:38 pm
72 Temple Owl
those two are birds?
5:38 pm
stidgmere
I think they are birds but I didn't look it up. From Africa, I seem to recall.
5:39 pm
72 Temple Owl
are there other ho birds?
5:40 pm
stidgmere
No. the first ho is a circle, the second ho 4, 6 is what Pandora got out of the box.
5:41 pm
72 Temple Owl
ty i will look.
5:42 pm
stidgmere
Are you pretty much clued out? I need to practice my crochet work. Stidmama has me on a project and I am all thumbs as usual. Some things are not very intuitive with me, crochet is one of them. Have a lovely evening all.

Nef
Good Evening Everyone! How are you all tonight? This is the first time I've seen this grid; thank goodness it's a short one!
10:11 pm
grannyrose
g'day nef, it may be short, but it ain't sweet. you have been warned
10:11 pm
Nef
Oh, darn. And I've started too.
10:11 pm
Nef
Thanks for the warning though
10:12 pm
grannyrose
lol, i'm sure you will finish too.
10:13 pm
Nef
I'm not so sure yet. My computer has been acting up all day. I've had to call the support line numerous times today; rebooting and repairing and all sorts of stuff all day and although it's running, it isn't up to normal speed yet
10:17 pm
grannyrose
not ignoring you nef.that's bad news about the computer. am trying to allow you some quiet time to babble. i am here if you need help.
10:19 pm
Nef
thanks, Granny. You don't *Have* to hang around for my sake though. But I do like to chat! ;-)
10:22 pm
Nef
It IS a nasty grid, isn't it?
10:23 pm
grannyrose
*giggle* told ya. too many vowels :-(
10:28 pm
Nef
Ooh! Just got a 6! (I feel funny saying that; but maybe shouldn't on this grid)
10:29 pm
grannyrose
i know....i felt the same way. trying to find words is like trying to pull teeth.
10:29 pm
Minveryork
Hello Nef! How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid
10:30 pm
Nef
Hi Min. Thanks for the story. I'm actually going to need Lickety if I expect to finish tonight
10:31 pm
grannyrose
hey ya min. how are you tonight?
10:38 pm
Minveryork
Yes, my story is very short and has the easy words. List is definitely needed for this grid. I am here to clue also.
10:39 pm
Minveryork
Hi grannyrose! How are you? Congrats on finishing early.
10:39 pm
grannyrose
thanx dear, and congrats on your FW too
10:39 pm
Minveryork
Thanks!
10:40 pm
grannyrose
now if we could have a grid just a touch bigger, please. that would be great.
10:41 pm
72 Temple Owl
hello granny and all
10:41 pm
grannyrose
g'day TO
10:41 pm
72 Temple Owl
how are you today, dear?
10:42 pm
Minveryork
Hello 72 Temple Owl! How are you? Welcome back to chog
10:42 pm
grannyrose
each day a little better, thanx. have nearly finished moving all our things to the 'new' rooms. just the furniture to go.
10:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
glad to hear. hello, min
10:44 pm
grannyrose
i realised this morning, after church, i was actually laughing again. i think the big dark hole is over
10:44 pm
grannyrose
and you, dear friend. how goes it with you?
10:44 pm
Nef
"new" rooms? Remodeling or redecorating, granny?
10:46 pm
grannyrose
nef, with the demise of the MIL(that sounds so cold, but not meant to be), don and i are going to use her lounge room as a bed/sitting room for us, her bedroom is going to be a lovely big dressing room.
10:46 pm
72 Temple Owl
ok, thank you. life is confusing at times; you'd think by this time I'd have most of the answers ;)
10:46 pm
Nef
Hi TO. I wasn't ignoring you, having a stern talk with DH here. He fell the other day and didn't tell me, now he has an infected scrape on his ankle bone
10:47 pm
72 Temple Owl
hi nef! bad, bad dh ;)
10:47 pm
grannyrose
good grief, nef. whack him with a feather for me. naughty man.
10:47 pm
Nef
I'm glad you are able to move on now, granny. It take a while to recover, doesn't it?
10:48 pm
grannyrose
yes, nef. just being able to spontaneously laugh was a big step forward.
10:49 pm
Nef
He jusr confided he can't reach his outer ankle; he's not exercising and getting stiff. I warned him if he doesn't do the exercises, then he will need a wheel chair. (I hate to threaten him with that; but sometimes it's necessary I guess
10:50 pm
grannyrose
with the extra rooms now available to us, i can now turn this house into the home don would like. he has seen/experienced what i can do, by the renovated bathroom i have done.
10:51 pm
72 Temple Owl
a project; that is good.
10:51 pm
grannyrose
nef, a good dose of reality never hurt anyone. if he must exercise to maintain a quality of life, well then...he has to exercise.
10:51 pm
Nef
granny, it's taken me 2 years since DH's Aunty died. I'm still working on reorganizing her stuff. (And I still miss her so much. But I don't *think* I was depressed.
10:52 pm
grannyrose
nef, would he benefit from a water-aerobics class, do you think?
10:53 pm
72 Temple Owl
well friends, i think i will turn in for the evening. it's been a heckuva couple of days and i think rest would be a good thing.
10:53 pm
grannyrose
then i'm not doing too badly am i? the problem is we have hit a brick wall so to speak. we are waiting for don's sister to get home, so she can tell us what she wants to keep for herself.
10:53 pm
Nef
You know, that might be a great idea, granny! I've been trying to get him to go to the "after PT" open sessionsat the PT office and he refuses; but maybe water aerobics would be better
10:54 pm
grannyrose
hope you rest well, TO.
10:54 pm
Nef
TO, what's been going on?
10:54 pm
grannyrose
nef, the water is lovey to workout in. and you don't even realise how hard your body is actually working.
10:55 pm
72 Temple Owl
rose, no timetable for this. take it as it goes. neg trip to hospital and each specilist thinking the issue is hershis, you know? so i am getting tested to death.
10:55 pm
grannyrose
ugh, TO. saying a prayer for you right now, dear.
10:56 pm
Nef
(((TO))) I hope you find out what's wrong and it's nothing serious. Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way.
10:57 pm
Nef
granny, TO is right; there isn't a timetable for grief after we lose someone.
10:57 pm
72 Temple Owl
rose, i will be ok. Heart enzyme tested normal after 24 hour obsercation thats good. say a prayer for personal life - that's alot scarier.
10:58 pm
72 Temple Owl
:)
10:58 pm
grannyrose
*grimace* okay, sweetie. let me know by email if there is anything in particular you want prayed for, hun.
10:58 pm
Nef
take care of yourself, TO.
10:59 pm
72 Temple Owl
they were mad at me because i refused some treatement. i think they overreact at times for their own protection.
10:59 pm
72 Temple Owl
and they are used to dealing with elderly/nursing home patients who hve different needs.
10:59 pm
Nef
well, that's true, TO. The number of people who are sue happy these days make them do that
10:59 pm
grannyrose
of course, TO. and if they can't give you a logical explanation, just a lot of what if's, then refuse away.
11:00 pm
Nef
I'm glad your heart enzymes are okay.
11:00 pm
72 Temple Owl
i mean, 24 hours of observation, walking the floor from boredom, and they want to give me heparin? no way.
11:01 pm
Nef
that's routine therapuetic treatment though
11:01 pm
72 Temple Owl
for what? i have no idea what i had and neither do they.
11:01 pm
grannyrose
LOLOL, TO. not logical is it? by the same token, if they had said to you, you may have a clot which needs to break up, well that would have been different.
11:02 pm
Nef
prevention of blood clots from bedrest especially if they suspect something related to heart problems
11:02 pm
grannyrose
over here we give suspect cardiac events aspirin. then wait for results of tests before advancing onto heparin.
11:03 pm
72 Temple Owl
it was to prevent same "because i was inactive" i said, ho wmany laps do you want me to do? I will begin anon
11:03 pm
Nef
They do give the lowdose aspirin enroute to the hospital here, granny
11:03 pm
grannyrose
and those heparin shots sting like hell. the aspirin are way less intrusive.
11:04 pm
72 Temple Owl
i got a dose of baby aspirin right away.
11:04 pm
Nef
LOL, TO! I like your spunk (but it would drive me nuts if you were my patient and we were ruling out heart problems!)
11:05 pm
grannyrose
TO, they gave the wrong reasons, seems like they weren't very sure of themselves. were you in a cardiac unit, or just a routine medical ward?
11:05 pm
Nef
or an observation unit?
11:05 pm
72 Temple Owl
everntually moved from obsercation to cardiac observation.
11:05 pm
grannyrose
nef, no baby dose aspirin here. it's 3 tabs. stat.
11:06 pm
Nef
really, granny? Hmmm.
11:07 pm
grannyrose
g'day jane.
11:07 pm
72 Temple Owl
it was no fun. cardiac guy said all symptoms probably from reaction to new pain med Dr. gave; had taken first dose.
11:07 pm
72 Temple Owl
the night before.
11:07 pm
grannyrose
we move onto baby aspirin the next day.
11:07 pm
Nef
Oh, Man! That would be bad. Don't take it again!!!!!!!
11:08 pm
grannyrose
good grief, TO. what is it?
11:08 pm
72 Temple Owl
i gave it to the resident to dispose of it. internist said she had a similar reaction thought not as extreme.
11:09 pm
Nef
Wow. What drug is it, TO (if you don't mind my asking)
11:10 pm
grannyrose
what do you reckon, nef? oxycodone, or paracetamol with codeine?
11:10 pm
72 Temple Owl
tramadol
11:11 pm
grannyrose
ahhhh, of course. glad you got rid of it. tramadol makes my asthma play up very badly. or it used to do so.
11:11 pm
Nef
Tramadol? Wow! That's the only pain med Ican take (I'm allergic to aspirin and NSAIDS, and anything stronger knocks me totally out
11:11 pm
Nef
But my daughter gets terrible shin splints from tramadol too....
11:11 pm
72 Temple Owl
well, now that i read about it i amhorrifed, i would have thrown it out immediately.
11:12 pm
Nef
(I can only take 1/2 tablet, though)
11:12 pm
grannyrose
the last time i took tramadol, i was next door to the icu. if i hadn't started to improve, i was going to be moved in. i was on oxygen for 3 days.
11:13 pm
harpjane
I take tramadol also, since last October when I got taken off nsaids.
11:13 pm
72 Temple Owl
omg
11:13 pm
Nef
it's an interesting med in that it blocks the effects of opiod receptors; so if you had any opiods in your system it can really cause problems
11:13 pm
72 Temple Owl
jane, that is why it was prescribed for me. i think trying one aspirin for pain would have been a lot better.
11:14 pm
grannyrose
it's a great drug, if your body can tolerate it. but if you can't, it's lethal. it seems to have no grey area in between.
11:14 pm
Nef
very true, granny
11:14 pm
72 Temple Owl
wow
11:15 pm
Nef
TO, why did they take you off nsaids? If you had a reaction to them, aspirin has a cross sensitivity and you shouldn't take any of that either
11:15 pm
rururocks
maybe xanax and aspirin?
11:15 pm
grannyrose
we use it in recovery all the time. usually in combo with at least 2 other drugs. in most cases it works a treat.
11:16 pm
72 Temple Owl
i "abused (unintentionally) aleve and had an immediate gastric bleed several years agao
11:16 pm
grannyrose
good question, nef. and hello ruru...btw, mate, did you know ruru is a maori word for the boobook owl
11:17 pm
Nef
Ahhh. So no allergy then (whew!)
11:17 pm
72 Temple Owl
boobook owl!
11:17 pm
rururocks
no.. I didn't granny
11:18 pm
72 Temple Owl
well i am feeling the efects of last nights release celebration. bed time for me. see you tomorrow.
11:18 pm
Nef
(I had an anaphylactic reaction to ibuprophin years ago. My docs wouldn't even let me give aspirin or NSAIDS, they were upset I was still working as a nurse before I retired
11:18 pm
grannyrose
okay, TO. sleep well dear
11:19 pm
72 Temple Owl
that is a whole different ball game, nef. thank god you were ok
11:19 pm
Nef
TO, go get some rest; I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers for now
11:20 pm
72 Temple Owl
ty guys, iee be fine. i will get the cardiac test next week anyway.
11:20 pm
Nef
((((TO))) Niters, dearheart
11:20 pm
grannyrose
oh, dear. don has just trundled off to the bathroom. nothing strange about that, except he has a migraine for the first time in ages. and i know exactly what he is doing . poor man.
11:21 pm
Nef
I don't envy him, (or you!)
11:23 pm
Nef
LOL! Here I am, an RN for 44 years and I still can't stand it if someone retches or vomits! I used to warm my patients that "I don't DO vomit! I'll join you if you do"
11:23 pm
grannyrose
ruru, how is your down time?
11:24 pm
grannyrose
oh, gosh, nef. the first time a patient threw up in front of me, i shared the bowl.
11:24 pm
rururocks
down time?
11:25 pm
rururocks
Too bad for Don.. I'd rather have anything other than a migraine
11:25 pm
grannyrose
it's the weekend for you, isn't it? your not tearing along all those roads.
11:25 pm
rururocks
no.. I did some driving today.. tomorrow I do get to relax at home
11:26 pm
rururocks
Monday I work from Home too
11:26 pm
grannyrose
ugh, ruru. don't you ever stop, mate? oh...that's good. bet dylan will be delighted too.
11:26 pm
rururocks
I usually don't have to heave with a migraine
11:27 pm
rururocks
Dylan will be thrilled
11:27 pm
rururocks
I had to deliver some party wine to Hego's favorite restaurant for their holiday (belated) party
11:28 pm
grannyrose
don's migraines are vicious. it's not just at the back of his head, but in the sinuses below his eyes, and then down his neck, and spreads to his upper back.
11:29 pm
rururocks
ugh.. poor guy
11:29 pm
rururocks
that sounds awful
11:29 pm
rururocks
can he take anything?
11:30 pm
grannyrose
if i massage him, i can feel all the muscles bunched up under my finger tips. usually if i massage him early enough, i can allay most of the pain. but this time he didn't tell me until too late. *sigh*
11:31 pm
rururocks
i get one or two bad ones a month.. I get a few others.. but they're more managable with drugs
11:31 pm
grannyrose
ruru, we use a mixture of drugs, depending on what triggered it. if it's because of grass cutting or household dust, we start with something for allergies. then move onto heavier duty pain meds.
11:32 pm
Nef
Has he ever tried Essential Lavender Oil for headaches, granny? I never believed that it would help until I tried it myself. (I use it at the first sign of a headache and I haven't had a migraine for many years)
11:32 pm
rururocks
I use essential vicodin and sumatriptan
11:33 pm
grannyrose
nef, he is grossly allergic to lavender. i wanted to try some on him, but he can't even be near a plant out of doors.
11:33 pm
rururocks
so much for the potpourri lavender bag in the panty drawer huh granny?
11:33 pm
Nef
oh dear. That's bad then
11:33 pm
grannyrose
mmm. i wonder if rose hip oil might work? that's supposed to be good too.
11:34 pm
grannyrose
you been peaking again, ruru??
11:34 pm
rururocks
no.. sniffing :D
11:35 pm
grannyrose
oh, dear...*peeking, peeking*
11:35 pm
Nef
DH used to juice celery, apples and a radish for me which was very helpful if I didn't hear the juicer
11:36 pm
grannyrose
interesting, nef. have heard of that before. does it help? but you wouldn't be nauseated would you?
11:37 pm
grannyrose
and that's another thing about don's migraines. he can tolerate high decibels of sound. me, if a pin drops, i scream.
11:38 pm
Nef
no, I had terrible nausea and vomiting with my migraines too. If he'd juice up that mixture at the beginning of my migraine I'd sip on it and I wouldn't get so sick, and
11:39 pm
Nef
noise, light, movement. Yuk!
11:40 pm
Nef
13 words left. I didn't realize I was so far along here!
11:41 pm
grannyrose
yup, me too. dark room, fan on low speed, cold facewasher, and no loud noise. i just lie there and moan. or i used to. nowadays, i have a med. which stops them dead in their tracks. trade name...zomig
11:42 pm
Nef
I always had such bad reactions to drugs I quit trying themyears ago.
11:43 pm
Nef
That sounds interesting, granny. (Reading up on it now)
11:45 pm
Nef
granny, I did the exact same "comfort measures as you except I also had a hot pack for my feet. somehow that always seemed to help too
11:46 pm
grannyrose
well i had tried every thing else. nothing can stop them from happening, i just took the pain meds. and lay down. this drug stops the migraine, with no drowsy side effects.
11:47 pm
Nef
That's the part that sounds good to me, granny: no drowsy side effects
11:49 pm
grannyrose
before i had this drug, it was always at least 24 hours before i was up and running again. back then, i was a sole parent of 3 boys, trying to hold down a full-time job. i didn't have time for a migraine.
11:49 pm
dizgrannie
apparently for migraines...put feet in warm water and a cold compress on the back of your neck
11:49 pm
grannyrose
heyya diz

Nef

11:58 pm
grannyrose
WTG NEF!!!
11:58 pm
Minveryork

Nef

11:59 pm
dizgrannie

12:00 am
Minveryork
I guessed 459. That does not mean I WANT 459 words.
