rbud

back... had to help Hubs - it's getting so he's really wobbly on his pins.

12:50 am

rbud

... but still in denial for the most part, sigh...

12:50 am

rururocks

is he a bowler?

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

hoping for better days, ((rb)))

12:51 am

rbud

lol!!! maybe 40 years ago or so.

12:52 am

rbud

yeah, me, too. His mobility chair quit on us, and it's taking forever for anyone to do anything about it.

12:52 am

rbud

they said it could take up to a year, wow.

12:52 am

rururocks

that's ridiculous

12:52 am

VolleymomDee

That is absurd.

12:52 am

VolleymomDee

That is unacceptable.

12:52 am

rururocks

can you call a supervisor?

12:53 am

rururocks

or get a loaner ?

12:53 am

rbud

he didn't use it in the house, really, anyway, just to get out to the shop on the sidewalk and back, but pretty soon we'll need it in here, too.

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

loaner might work, good idea, ru

12:53 am

rbud

We've had several friends offer ones they have around, but most of them need something done to them, too.

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

mo 7/40

12:55 am

rbud

60 miles to every appointment, and 5 or 6 different groups/offices have to get through all their parts of the deal, or so they tell us.

12:55 am

rbud

it's a long slog. :P

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

You might call some of your pharmacies - ours around here have DME repairmen.

12:55 am

rururocks

they must have some way to help you

12:56 am

rbud

you'd think so. they think they ARE helping, it just takes time. can always resort to a regular wheelchair, of course, but wow, he hates that.

12:58 am

rbud

still remodeling, the ramp is coming - the one to the bathroom, kinda essential. he can get there with help and handrails. only two steps down.

12:59 am

rbud

anyway, hope to have things ironed out this spring, and back to the grid. :)

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

fingers crossed on a speedy remodel!

12:59 am

rururocks

I hope so .. sounds like a lot of effort

1:01 am

rbud

thanks - just hanging in there for now.

good morning all

4:24 am

grannyrose

hhmmmmfff. you caught me out....mouthful of chocolate. {{hugs}} sprite

4:24 am

sprite

gimme! And hi rose *hugs* How was your day?

4:26 am

grannyrose

quiet sprite. sat around all day waiting for mechanic to call to say that the motorbike was ready. they didn't call until 4pm. it takes a good hour to get there, and they close at 5pm. so forced rest, as prescribed by you. how was your night?

4:27 am

sprite

see, all it takes for me to make you comply is a call to your mechanic...

4:27 am

grannyrose

lol...naughty sprite...

4:27 am

sprite

my night mostly sucked. Couldn't sleep till around 4 am, then rotten dreams.

4:29 am

sprite

and I just got up and first thing I had to do was getting in an argument with Tim.

4:30 am

grannyrose

ugh....what about, hin? and so sorry about your rotten dreams.

4:31 am

sprite

oh, about the washing of the dishes. And his nocturnal habits.

4:32 am

sprite

anyway... not really interesting, lol. Or OAS more likely. Did the day of rest help your body recover?

4:33 am

grannyrose

frustrating if he won't do his share.

4:33 am

sprite

yeah. He does it in the end nowadays. But it is still a struggle. Frustrating is exactly the right word.

4:33 am

grannyrose

yes, hin. this morning i was going to take an endone, but held off as i thought i was going to have to drive the car.

4:34 am

sprite

good girl :)

4:35 am

grannyrose

and resting, the pain went anyway...

4:36 am

sprite

good riddance. And hmmmm, with all that time on your hands, how come I don't have an answer email, hmmmm?

4:37 am

grannyrose

oh, i thought you were answering mine...okay, okay....will write one later.

4:37 am

sprite

oh lol! Yes I was. We can keep it up, if you like :)

4:38 am

grannyrose

pffft....maybe, maybe....* giggle *

4:39 am

sprite

but no hurry, grin. Whenever it suits you.

4:43 am

sprite

I am so doggone ti5 I can't seem to keep myself warm today

4:44 am

grannyrose

you poor darling.

4:46 am

sprite

there, extra layer added. How's the verdict on this grid?

4:48 am

grannyrose

it's not too bad. the 9's are obvious, as are the 8's. you should find it a breeze.

4:48 am

sprite

biggies are not my forte, tbh. But thanks. I'll give it another go :D

4:49 am

sprite

hah. 2x8 found.

4:49 am

grannyrose

would you like the stats?

4:49 am

sprite

yeah, that would be helpful. Just the stats pls :)

4:50 am

grannyrose

ma9/66, ma9/78...na9/60

4:50 am

sprite

thanks darling

4:53 am

sprite

there, all 3 found. Thanks again.

4:54 am

4:55 am

grannyrose

4:57 am

grannyrose

don't fall over....don't want to damage that little nose of yours.

grannyrose

of course you have, sweetie lack of sleep does that to you.

5:02 am

sprite

how lovely, ursh! Hi right back and am so glad they had a good time here.

5:03 am

sprite

so unfair, don't you think, rose? We already can't keep our eyes open during the day and lack the energy to do stuff... and then a headache to boot! *kicks God in the Shins*

5:44 am

sprite

hey sukee :)

5:44 am

car.eeyore

Hello

5:45 am

sukee

Ack, there is an X word

5:46 am

sprite

not a weird one, sukee, don't worry

5:47 am

sukee

For those who I talked to before, the cat is doing much better. He is starting to eat more each day.

5:47 am

sprite

what was the matter with him, sukee?

5:48 am

car.eeyore

I am so glad to hear that sukee. We are waiting to see if we have to put my mum's dog down :(

5:48 am

sukee

He didn't eat at all of Friday and most of Saturday.

5:48 am

sprite

ah, you must have been so worried! Glad to hear he is doing better.

5:48 am

sprite

and car, how sad :(

5:49 am

sukee

Was going to take him to the vet yesterday but it is too cold and since he is improving figured I'd wait.

5:49 am

grannyrose

good news sukee. there is nothing so sad as watching one's pet in distress.

5:49 am

sukee

I was a complete wreck on Saturday.

5:49 am

grannyrose

poor car....that is a hard one, hin.

5:50 am

car.eeyore

HOrrible. My mum misses her but can't remember that she is at the vet, so asks about her

5:50 am

sukee

Sorry to hear about your mum's dog. I was convinced I would take him to the vet yesterday and they would put him down.

5:50 am

grannyrose

car, a double whammy hin. xoxox dear

5:50 am

sprite

am back to bed, my babble friends. *hugs* and all the best for today.

5:51 am

car.eeyore

I went to visit the dog yesterday. So listless. It is pancreatitis which is generally non-fatal, but she is not eating and really doesn't look good at all.

5:51 am

sukee

I am wondering, I had ran out of his steroid medication and he went a couple of days without, maybe it was withdrawal.

5:51 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} sprite. hope the headache goes, and soon.

5:51 am

car.eeyore

I am right behind you sprite...have to get bachelor #1 on the bus and then back to bed for an hour!

5:51 am

sukee

Take care sprite

5:51 am

car.eeyore

Feel better Sprite!

5:52 am

grannyrose

sukee, steroids cannot be stopped without gradually reducing the dose. at least in humans...not sure about animals.

6:01 am

sukee

Amazing when you walk away and come back words just pop out.

6:34 am

Riverdance

Good morning

6:37 am

Riverdance

Falling asleep again. Later folks.

6:40 am

rubyfoo

allo?

6:40 am

rubyfoo

6:44 am

sukee

Hi ruby

6:46 am

rubyfoo

hi sukee. Then my Ruffio was on steroids, 3 separate times for skin problems, I had to taper him off very gradually

6:46 am

rubyfoo

Of course, he's a large dog

6:47 am

rubyfoo

When*

6:47 am

sukee

Boo is acting like his old self again. He was even washing which he hadn't done for a few days.

6:48 am

sukee

I guess it is steroids for life. I will never run out again, I feel kind of guilty.

6:48 am

rubyfoo

we can drive ourselves crazy with our much-loved animals

6:48 am

sukee

I was sure I was going to lose him.

6:49 am

rubyfoo

Ultimately, I think Rufe has grown out of his skin problem and I have "made up" the diet for both dogs, against the vet's advice, but they have the best coats of any of the many chows I've had

6:50 am

sukee

Well, owners often know best.

6:50 am

rubyfoo

google is very helpful

6:51 am

rubyfoo

I can't seem to reach half or find the right=hand m!

6:54 am

sukee

I haven't found any of those m's either

6:55 am

rubyfoo

do you have a 9?

6:55 am

sukee

Nope, largest I have is a 7

6:56 am

rubyfoo

I've finally passed half, but I'm running out of steam

6:56 am

sukee

I still have 68 left

6:57 am

rubyfoo

<-- 77 left

6:57 am

sukee

interesting, an ex word sounds like an oil company

6:57 am

ladycece920

We are having our first snow day here. Hot, homemade cinnamon rolls in the PB.

7:29 am

Anniebrook

Snowing here too. Have to get into the PB

7:30 am

wvteach

Snow day here too - good day for a pot of soup

7:31 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids. Lots of snow here and more coming. Yay.

7:32 am

Anniebrook

Hi Scrabbs

7:32 am

MollyL

I made chili last night, I like to let it sit for a while before we eat it.

7:32 am

Anniebrook

Just for the heck of it, I typed a boy's name (de6) and it took

7:33 am

Anniebrook

Molly, You must be a wonderful cook

7:33 am

MollyL

I'm okay Annie. Nothing fancy, just the basics.

7:34 am

Anniebrook

the basics are the real comfort food

7:36 am

grant

clue for no7, anyone?

7:36 am

Anniebrook

sorry, grant, just started

7:36 am

MollyL

I try to keep processed food out of the house, so I make a lot of things from scratch.

7:36 am

Riverdance

Hello

7:36 am

Anniebrook

Hi River

7:38 am

MollyL

no7 a place where you do not live

7:38 am

Anniebrook

thanks, Molly

7:39 am

Riverdance

Havent heard the weather forcast in days. Its cloudy but not doing anything here yet

7:39 am

grant

thanks, molly

7:40 am

MollyL

I assume your surgery went well River (not up on Facebook news)

7:41 am

Anniebrook

River, I didnt know you had surgery. Hope all went well and you are up and about soon

7:41 am

Riverdance

Yes it went well. My thigh and knee are still very swollen but I am up waling with a cane. They sent me home the next day.

7:41 am

Riverdance

Walking

7:42 am

MollyL

It's sad how fast they shove people out of the hospital. Damn insurance companies.

7:42 am

Riverdance

Annie they did it two weeks early

7:42 am

Anniebrook

I agree.

7:43 am

Anniebrook

River, do you have help at home?

7:43 am

josephjames

i don't think it's just the insurance - people can pick up so many bugs in hospitals, plus have trouble sleeping and don't get well as fast - so if they don't HAVE to monitor you, you're probably going to do better at home. i read a thing about how terrible it is for you to be in the ICU...

7:44 am

Anniebrook

not encouraging at all, jj

7:44 am

MollyL

All that is true, JJ, but it is insurance that dictates the length of your hospital stay most of the time.

7:45 am

josephjames

i suppose, yeah

7:45 am

Riverdance

My so is staying with me this week but he is in school during the day. He has been cooking supper. It is amazing how much I can do. And PT has been here every day

7:46 am

MollyL

Wow River, has your boy gotten so old that he's moved out on his own? Time flies.

7:47 am

Riverdance

I could have stayed one more day but chose to come home as there was snow coming in sunday

7:48 am

Riverdance

No he goes back and forth between his dad and me. This is actually marks week. Keith is 18 now though. My daughter is in oregon until next week.

7:50 am

Riverdance

But then she starts school. Last semester of college.

7:51 am

MollyL

Nice that your boy is there taking care of Mom
: D

7:51 am

Scrabbler

Back. Lost power in this room. Still waiting for a patient to show up.

7:51 am

Anniebrook

Time does fly. I remember Keith as a child when he had surgery. Now he is almost grown and helping his Mom.

7:51 am

josephjames

if extry isn't a word then what do you say before "read all about it" ?

7:52 am

Riverdance

He is a good boy.

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Take care, River.

7:54 am

Riverdance

I am. Keep icing this leg hoping the swelling will go down

7:54 am

Scrabbler

Knee replacement, right?

7:54 am

Riverdance

Hip replacement

7:55 am

Riverdance

From my butt to my knee is very swollen.

7:55 am

Scrabbler

OK. Move that leg and get up as much as you can. Avoid a blood clot.

7:56 am

Scrabbler

You are young to have that surgery.

7:56 am

Riverdance

Am up every hour walking my loop. Wearing my lovely ted stockings.

7:56 am

josephjames

speaking of medical problems, how do you know if your lower right pain is appendicitis or just muscle strain

7:57 am

Riverdance

Pt is coming every day

7:57 am

Scrabbler

Appendicitis will progress within 24-36 hrs leading to rupture and be severe, unless you have a very high pain threshold

7:57 am

Scrabbler

Very good, River.

7:58 am

josephjames

ok good to know

7:58 am

Riverdance

They check my BP and incision

7:58 am

josephjames

why do people's appendixes suddenly go wrong anyway?

7:59 am

Scrabbler

Rupture tends to occur in infants and toddlers that cannot specifiy their pain, or in people with high pain threshold.

7:59 am

Scrabbler

Fecal material gets stuck in the appendix and infection begins.

7:59 am

Riverdance

My brothers burst. That was terrible.

7:59 am

josephjames

but what starts it going wrong? what makes an appendix that was fine, not fine

8:01 am

bichon

Congrats Scrabs

8:01 am

josephjames

oh the fecal material thing

8:01 am

Scrabbler

Baby Ryder is home. I am thrilled to have a new little one to love.

8:01 am

Riverdance

Off for my walk. Have a great day everyone

8:01 am

josephjames

you had a baby?

8:01 am

Scrabbler

Keep working hard, River.

8:02 am

josephjames

how do you have time to play?

8:02 am

Scrabbler

No, my nephew is a father to a second son. I am the great-aunt.

8:02 am

josephjames

I am saddened. Learned yesterday that my son-in-law who has been working for the national weather service in Hilo Hawaii (our daughter and granddaughter stayed here) has accepted a job which will put him back within the continental states. After having my precious granddaughter only 20 minutes away for the last 7 years they will now be moving to Burlington Vermont. One very sad gram.

I'm sure I will survive but it will be an altered "empty nest" issue. during the summers I would "babysit" tues/wed and then spend weekeds up there. during my school year I'm there very weekend. It's the best thing as they need to be a whole family living in one place. I'm going to have to look at it from the standpoint of travel to new places.

8:46 pm

torgone

Best to look at new opportunities ..

9:45 pm

mcurlschool

I know; we're like two ships passing in the night! hahaha

9:47 pm

stidmama

:-) Sorry about the impending move... (but can't help thinking it will give you a small bit of "extra" time you will quickly fill in other ways)

9:51 pm

mcurlschool

I know. But now dennis is telling me Jordan cannot go because Halloween will be boring, no more leprechaun traps, no more "dad/papa" do lists, whats a guy to do?

9:52 pm

mcurlschool

I think we'll at least have until school is out as carm said she will not pull jordan from Aspire as she's doing too well!

9:54 pm

Bugsaw

hello friends! I am sory about the move mccurl but I love the idea of leprechaun traps. I must come visit you to learn how it is done

9:54 pm

stidmama

hey bugs

9:55 pm

Bugsaw

hey stid. Thanks for the great idea .

9:55 pm

Bugsaw

I am sorry you are not feeling well too. January is a tough month

9:55 pm

stidmama

sorry, eating noodles and red sauce to combatcold symptoms...

9:56 pm

mcurlschool

Hi Bugs! My miss Jordan is quite a peach!! 11 and she still believes there is a Santa and that if you catch a leprechaun you will get his gold. She has come up with some interesting traps but alas, he always gets away. One year, however, he lost his hat!!1 (that was one of my "craftier" moments)

9:56 pm

stidmama

I thought I would at least have a full week before I did this

9:59 pm

Bugsaw

She does know that if she catches one she has to hang on VERY tightly and must not her eyes off him or he will vanish. I tried valiantly to catch one during my childhood and never even got a nibble.

10:00 pm

mcurlschool

I'll have to share that with her, bugs

10:02 pm

Bugsaw

Vermont is s great state tho even tho it is so far away.

10:04 pm

mcurlschool

I am looking forward to going there as it is someplace I haven't been. I'm sure we'll go at least twice a year and we'll do an every other christmas thing with my other two are with their other families (we call that our "off" year). Can you say--frequent flier miles!!

10:07 pm

Bugsaw

Plus, I am sure she wants to spend more time with her Mum and Dad together. It should be good

10:09 pm

stidmama

LOL frequent flier miles... I think it could be a lot of fun for you.

10:27 pm

stidmama
