I noticed you weren't here yesterday. That is really sad news, darling. *hugs* for you both. Was it sudden?
3:58 am

Just back from a new and more complete scan and I think the news is good. The thingie in my liver appears to be benign but I need to speak with the oncologist. The report is full of complex French medical terminology so I will need help with understanding it. And my left lung has ""voluminous' liquid in it.
4:29 am
sprite
benign would be good, ruby. I will pray that will be the outcome. *hugs*
4:30 am
grannyrose
{{hugs}} dear ruby. yes benign is good. a bit of fluid in the lung is easily treated.

4:01 pm
zoozzoom
Good attitude to have, soodle!
4:02 pm
Soodle
Lol Zooz. I haven't 'seen' you for a while. How's life treating you?
4:03 pm
zoozzoom
It is going okay at the moment thanks, Soodle.How about your good self?
4:05 pm
Soodle
Still this side of the ground, Zooz! Better than the alternative! I frequently think of you & wonder how you are coping after your recent bereavement. ((((Hug))))
4:07 pm
zoozzoom
Thanks, Soodle. Can not believe that is over a year ago now. My mother has coped with it very well bless her.
4:09 pm
zoozzoom
Going anywhere nice for holidays this year, Soodle?
4:10 pm
Anniebrook
Back again
4:11 pm
Soodle
(((Zooz) time can be irrelevant - a day, a week, a year. It's still terribly difficult. And - my darling daughter & I spent a glorious week in Gran Canaria in April. Unless 6 numbers hop up in the lottery - that's my lot for this year!
4:11 pm
Soodle
Hey (((Annie)))
4:11 pm
Anniebrook
((Soodle)) So nice to see you
4:12 pm
MollyL
Soodle, I thought you were going to see Ruby
4:13 pm
zoozzoom
Hey get in the queue lady!...we aare having the jackpot first..You can have the next one :-)
4:14 pm
Soodle
much as I'd like to, Molls, my elderly parents' demands are taking up up all my time at the moment.
4:15 pm
Soodle
Up up????? Sheesh. I'm stressed! Lol
4:16 pm
MollyL
Ah, understandable. It's hard to be away from home when you have sick elders.
4:18 pm
Soodle
<----- happy to stand in line after Zooz to win a hat of money on the lottery!
4:18 pm
Anniebrook
*right behind Soodle*
4:19 pm
Soodle
Form an orderly queue, Babblers......
4:19 pm
MollyL
Annie, you have to stand in line with me. Unless you play the European lottery. There is 80 million in Powerball tonight. I'll split it with you.
4:19 pm
Soodle
How is Bobby, Annie?
4:20 pm
Anniebrook
Bobby is complaining of a backache (he never complains)--to the doctor on Wednesday
4:21 pm
Anniebrook
I will be happy to stand in line with you.
4:22 pm
Soodle
Oh dear. I complain constantly. Nobody takes a whit of notice, because I'm a whinger. It's a different story when a non- complainer complains. I hope he is ok Annie.
4:23 pm
Anniebrook
Me too. I hope its a strain but I must check it out. Thanks for youir good thought.
4:24 pm
Soodle
((((Annie & Bobby))))
4:24 pm
Anniebrook
Thanks for the hugs. We felt it all the way over here.
4:24 pm
MollyL
Annie, my son is like yours. He never complains and is very rarely sick. So when he does complain, or is sick, it freaks me out.
4:25 pm
Anniebrook
I am trying not to freak out. He is very rarely sick also.
4:28 pm
Soodle
Freaking out never helped anybody (said the biggest freaker-outer of all time). Annie - I'll be thinking of you both next week.
4:28 pm
bichon
As opposed to my son, who at 42, never goes to the dentist or doctor until it is critical
4:29 pm
Anniebrook
thanks, Soodle
4:29 pm
Soodle
Bich - I'm with him on the dentist thing....
4:31 pm
bichon
Okay, how much money did we put into his mouth, especially with braces
4:32 pm
Soodle
I was being treated by a dentist once. I bit him, drawing blood. He refused to treat me afterwards, unless I was sedated. So next time, he gave me IV Valium. Whee!!!! I loved every whir of the drill!!
4:33 pm
Soodle
I can see how people can get addicted to valium.
4:34 pm
MollyL
My dentist, who is a God, recently had to retire early due to illness. His replacement is just not as good. I am lost. I have gone to the same "dental family" (my dentist and his dad) my whole life.
4:38 pm
bichon
I love my dentist and my hygenist
4:45 pm
Anniebrook
I am up to the dreaded "re"s
4:52 pm
Soodle
I have a pathological fear of snakes, dentists & hairdressers.
4:54 pm
Anniebrook
I can understand all 3, Soodle. I think hairdressers comes in second.
4:55 pm
flosey
hi all, back to hopefully finish up!! I'm right with you on the snakes, Soodle - have never been able to shake that silly fear
4:55 pm
Anniebrook
HI flosey
4:56 pm
flosey
Hi Annie, I so seldom see you
4:57 pm
Anniebrook
I am usually here in the morning when you are probably asleep.
4:58 pm
Anniebrook
Well I should say, I hope you are asleep
4:58 pm
Soodle
Lol! St Patrick should have banished Dentists & hairdressers when he was dealing with the snakes. Lol. Bedtime for me! G'Night all.
4:58 pm
flosey
yes, likely, Annie
4:58 pm
flosey
sweet sleep, Soodle
4:58 pm
Anniebrook
Sweet dreams. Soodle
5:10 pm
MollyL
Sweet sweet Soodle
5:11 pm
Anniebrook
Molly, Beautful tribute in your profile
5:11 pm
flosey
what is the meaning of your list of names, Molly?
5:12 pm
Anniebrook
They are the 9 people who were killed during a Bible Study meeting in Charleston, SC
5:12 pm
MollyL
They are the names of the victims in the recent Charleston shooting. I got the idea from Soodle's profile. The names in hers are the names of six Irish students at Berkely who were killed when the balcony they were on collapsed.
5:13 pm
flosey
wow, I hadn't heard of that shooting, was it directed at a particular religious group?
5:13 pm
Anniebrook
Black people.
5:14 pm
flosey
oh dear, when, oh when will we ever learn to live together in peace
5:14 pm
Anniebrook
They were massacred by a 21 year old racist.
5:14 pm
flosey
how dreadful
5:16 pm
MollyL
I got an email from a friend trying to come to terms with the Charleston tragedy. She quoted Dr. King... “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."
5:16 pm
flosey
what has a 21 year old really understand about the old racist attitudes
5:18 pm
MollyL
Another young man named Dylan (the other was Columbine) goes down in history as a gunman. That name is going to get a bad rap.
5:18 pm
Anniebrook
It is my grandson's name.
5:19 pm
Anniebrook
He is a kind, loving 14 year old. There is Dylan Thomas.
5:19 pm
flosey
and it's a lovely name Annie - make no connection
5:20 pm
Anniebrook
I dont think I will. Dylan Edward, that's his name. Nice kid.
5:20 pm
MollyL
Sorry, Annie. Just something I heard about the names Dylan and Caitlyn
5:21 pm
Anniebrook
Molly, please say what you heard about the name. I am curious. I know you meant no harm,
5:21 pm
flosey
Caitlyn also a lovely name
5:29 pm
MollyL
I just heard that the name is going to get a bad reputation since it has been the name of two young shooters. Some people make those associations. Others don't. No matter, one can't help what their name is, unless they chose it personally (Jenner)
5:29 pm
Bugsaw
I have a nephew Dylan and a son Thomas. We holidayed together when they were babies learning to feed themselves. We put their high chairs together and called in Poet's Corner.
5:30 pm
Anniebrook
I love it. Poet's Corner.
5:30 pm
Anniebrook
Thanks for the explanation but I wont fret about it.
5:31 pm
Bugsaw
Our Dylan is a lovely young man who is working to make the world a better place.
5:32 pm
Anniebrook
Our Dylan is in High School and works with special needs children.
5:34 pm
Bugsaw
I can see Molly's point that some people associate names with people they have known and not cared for and like names of people who are special to them. I just don't think that this is enough. There aren't very many Elvises in the world and people thought pretty highly of the original.
5:34 pm

we have been visiting her everyday that we can. 3 hour round trip and we are only allowed 15 minutes with her. i am very tired from all the travel.
11:36 pm
stidmama
frack, gr. I am so sorry
11:37 pm
Bugsaw
I am so sorry granny. Even if she is not awake when you are there, talk to her in case she is able to hear. Most can even when they can't show you they are awake. It is comforting to them.
11:38 pm
grannyrose
bugs, stiddy. it is so hard because she doesn't want us to leave. but she starts to doze off when the morphine kicks in. and we want her to rest as much as possible.
