VolleymomDee

fun week (sarcasm); new house is being built next to us; power company came to run lines for them; they cut our cable and "forgot" to tell anyone - we had not TVs and no internet. Cable guy "forget" to come fix the cut; finally everyone remembered to do their jobs, and we were reconnected. Then the a/c died; house got hotter than a fritter. Temporary fix finally, but next week we will be the proud owners of a brand new a/c system... New a/c comes on top of a bunch of landscaping, which of course cost more than originally estimated. Geesh!! Too bad the diggers didn't find an oil well in our yard LOL

5:58 am

Anniebrook

hi sukee, how are you feeling?

5:58 am

Anniebrook

hello everyone

5:59 am

sukee

So so, I ran low on pain killers and was awake from about 12 in pain. Today I'm picking up the new ones from my family doctor, they said these ones will help me sleep and to get some Advil.

5:59 am

sukee

The rash has not spread much and the doctor doesn't think it will spread more. Just looking forward to when the blister on my back breaks...

6:00 am

Anniebrook

YOu will get some relief from the painkillers. Shingles are the pits.

6:00 am

sukee

I swear every time I go to that pharmacy they have to order something in. I spend a lot of money going back on forth.

6:00 am

sukee

I'm sick of it already and I'm had the rash for 4 days...

6:00 am

sukee

I've

6:01 am

Anniebrook

It will go away. I know it is hard to live with.

6:01 am

sukee

I refuse to wear a bra since the worst is around the bra line. I don't care if it looks bad :)

6:01 am

sukee

Getting out today, not going to work out but meet with the people I have coffee with. Good news is the doctor says there is no chance it will spread to my face because of where it is.

6:02 am

Anniebrook

sukee, I couldnt wear a bra when I had shingles. Even the blouse hurt but it will eventually get better. Enjoy your coffee klatch, it will help to get out.

6:03 am

sukee

And I was shocked when the first drug was unavailable to me that the doctor phoned me directly to tell me about the other one. It's hard to talk to him usually :)

6:04 am

Anniebrook

My doctor is the same but with shingles he stepped right up. He walked out of the room and called the drugstore. I was sort of shocked.

6:05 am

sukee

I guess they understand how painful it is.

6:05 am

Anniebrook

Yes, they do. Hang in there, kid

6:05 am

sukee

On the other hand, the doctor in emergency did not have much of a bedside manner. But I guess they are overworked there :)

6:05 am

sukee

Thanks, knowing I have support helps :)

6:06 am

Anniebrook

ER doctor knew what is was so he wasnt a total loss.

6:07 am

sukee

And he was the one who told me to start the treatments as soon as I got the drugs.

6:08 am

Anniebrook

so he knew. It is awful to go through but, remember, it will go away.

6:08 am

sukee

Thankfully my drugs are all covered, I have spent a small fortune on cab fares lately. A friend would have driven me but she might be pregnant and we don't want to take any chances.

6:09 am

sukee

Yep, hopefully by next month it will be a distant memory.

6:10 am

sukee

So how are you doing anyway?

6:10 am

Anniebrook

Im okay. Thanks.

6:11 am

sukee

Anyway, I have to run. Thanks for letting me bend your ear.

6:11 am

Anniebrook

Anytime. Go forth and have fun.

6:12 am

sukee

Have a great day.

6:12 am

Anniebrook

YOu too.

7:20 am

mattygroves

I have four left...three Us and one N and I'm struggling now

7:20 am

car.eeyore

Do you know the stats?

7:22 am

mattygroves

I do - UR5/12 (the first one), UR6/21, UR7/32 and NE6/18

7:23 am

mattygroves

(the second NE6/18)

7:23 am

car.eeyore

ne 6/18 is an extension of the NE 4/4 ....

7:24 am

car.eeyore

Whoops, that may not be the right one...I see now there are 3 of them.

7:24 am

mattygroves

I have the NE6/18 that is more close, and the last one which is a plural. It's the middle one I need, after the element (or type of light)

7:26 am

mattygroves

That first UR5/12 is bugging me, because it should be easy - I know the first three letters but I've monkeyed like mad and still not run across it

7:26 am

car.eeyore

ur and three vowels

7:27 am

car.eeyore

right in order

7:27 am

mattygroves

Thanks Car - it must be the sole combo I didn't try...

7:27 am

car.eeyore

add another vowel to the end of the third UR 5/12 for the UR 6/21

7:28 am

montreal13

NE6 is the worm...

7:31 am

car.eeyore

nematode?

7:31 am

montreal13

NE + re4

7:31 am

mattygroves

Yeah, I know that's not it, and I've seen the other worm before but I forget what it is

2:22 pm

Aloyisius

2:23 pm

TraderKate

do you have names for all of them? and is pen hopping a normal thing? lusty chickens...

2:23 pm

Aloyisius

and ba7 is a comparative of a big building that holds farm animals

2:24 pm

jesdraggon

no, they have collective names "the hens" and "the damn coyotes" currently.

2:24 pm

TraderKate

any hints on the sa 7 words? do they end in the comparative maybe?

2:25 pm

jesdraggon

the chickens are prone to getting out, mostly due to the insane destructiveness of rabbits on fencelines, but they come home. it's the 'yotes i'm worried about, because they'd potentially eat everyone else.

2:25 pm

TraderKate

naughty 'yotes.. but smart... they know where the all you can eat buffet is located...

2:25 pm

Aloyisius

don't have any sa7 so far, sorry

2:27 pm

TraderKate

3:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

bye pen

3:48 pm

MollyL

Whether you close down, or not, you should retain your words if you refresh before leaving the game. If you don't refresh, chances are you will lose words from your list. That is what happens to me anyway.

4:38 pm

rubyfoo

horrible day, but may have made some progress with the fisc. We'll see. I see a possible pathway IF I have enough energy. And three agets are always io sweet and say things like "Ill pray for you" and stuff ( that's when I break down, usually) AND dh IS ACTING CRAZIER AND CRAZIER

4:39 pm

rubyfoo

"THEIR AGENTS ARE ALWAYS SO SWEET\*

4:39 pm

Nef

(((rubyfoo))) I'm sorry to hearDH is crazy (dealing with that myself)

4:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

ruby. hello.

4:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

i do not know who fisc is ,but i hope things work out.

4:41 pm

Uneaixoise

thinking of you, ruby, and sending hugs xxxooo

4:43 pm

rubyfoo

hE really ENBARRASSED mE TONIGHT. wHEN THE VET BROUGHT PUPPY GIRL BACK (NOTHING WORNG WITH HER THAT WAS DISCERNIBLE BY X0RAY0, dh CAME DOWNSTAIRS IN UNDERPANTS AND A BELT AND A T-SHIRT AND SOCKS, 6 TIMES IN 15 MINUTES. And his doctor says that a nursing home is not the place for him and that I SHOULD JUS T START LEAVING HIM ALONE SOMETIMES, MAINLY FOR MY SELF-PREESERVATION

4:44 pm

rubyfoo

the vet gave Raffie a bad haircut, but she is still adorable, just being mean to her brother since she got back. Very cranky and he just wants to cuddle

4:44 pm

rubyfoo

and my chest hurts again

4:45 pm

Nef

((((ruby!)))) HIS doctor says that? What does YOUR doctor say?

4:45 pm

rubyfoo

noes

4:45 pm

rubyfoo

noes

4:46 pm

Nef

why do you have chest pain? Do you have cardiac problems?

4:46 pm

rubyfoo

sorry. My oncologist says "Off with his head" and his doctor, although sympathetic with me, thinks it would be too difficult to get him into a hme specuializing in Alzheimer's patientws

4:47 pm

MollyL

Ruby, his doctor has been flat out wrong for a long time. It's time for YOU to start making decisions.

4:47 pm

MollyL

It

4:47 pm

MollyL

It is always difficult to get someone situated in a home for Alzheimer's patients. That doesn't mean it isn't necessary.

4:48 pm

Nef

I agree with Molly. You may have to have another assessment and a new doctor because it sounds like your health is at risk now.

4:48 pm

rubyfoo

no. my breast cancer came back after 25 years in my sternum and ribs and is inoperable but maybe can be treated as a chronic disease. Meanwhile, I AM STILL LOSING WEIGHT.

4:49 pm

Nef

do you have respite care where you are? It sounds like you need it

4:49 pm

MollyL

He is not able to care for himself, and you are not able to care for him. He needs to be somewhere else.

4:49 pm

rubyfoo

pART OF THE PROBLEM MAY BE THAT THIS ISN'T A BIG CITY AND NOT ALL OF THE NURSING HOMES TAKE THOSE SICK PATENTS

4:49 pm

rubyfoo

I AM STARTING TO GET MORE AND MORE WORKERS HERE, WHICH IS VERY HELPFUL BUT NOT QUITE HELPFUL ENOUGH.

4:50 pm

rubyfoo

mAYBE TOMORROW WILL BE ETTER

4:50 pm

MollyL

Oh Ruby, you can't go Scarlett O'Hara about this. Alzheimer's doesn't get better. It gets worse. Sorry, but that is the truth.

4:51 pm

Nef

You may need to get a break from him. Respite care has caregivers come in so you can leave and get away from the stress at times like this

4:53 pm

rubyfoo

One of these times, when he follows me up and down the (MANY) stairs, he'll fall and break something and then, once hospitalized, I think things will go faster. \The speed of this last month's deterioration has been incredible.

4:53 pm

Nef

I need to go right now (I hasve an appointment in 15 minutes) but please look in to respite care and get away from there; even for just a day or two so you can rest.

4:53 pm

rubyfoo

Molly, you've been right from the start, I just staed in denial too long.

4:54 pm

rubyfoo

I don't think they even have hospice care here.

4:54 pm

Nef

((((rubyfoo)))) I'm sorry I have to leave right now. Please be kind ot yourself.

4:54 pm

MollyL

It is easy to stay in denial about something like this Ruby. I know my Mom did. As for what Nef suggested, I'm not sure you can "get away" and "rest somewhere" given your situation. You need to place him somewhere, and soon.

4:55 pm

Nef

(I'll check back later this evening)

4:56 pm

rubyfoo

you women have no idea how much your support and advice mean to me! It really helps to be able to talk about it in Emglish;

4:56 pm

MollyL

It would be a very sad ending to this story to wait until he falls and breaks something to get him in a place that can care for him.

4:58 pm

rubyfoo

I'm afraid that all endings will be sad, no matter what. It is a question of who will suffer the most. I must sound very cold-hearted but I am more concerned with me, than with him. And he's pretty scary sometimes as he['s still much stronger

5:00 pm

rubyfoo

It would be sadder if he hurtsme.

5:00 pm

MollyL

Ruby, I think you are at the point where you have to insist on someplace taking him. Even if it means spending a little bit more money. Like I said before, it's beyond the point where he can take care of himself or you can take care of him.

5:01 pm

MollyL

I've said enough about this. Ruby, you remain in my good thoughts and prayers.

5:01 pm

rubyfoo

His doctor was supposed to come this afternoon, but didn'tshow upl. He's supposed to help me with that

5:02 pm

rubyfoo

Molly, I appreciate your concern and know that you have my interests at heart. You are very smart and very dear to me ( but tihout all the mushy stuff....)

5:03 pm

rubyfoo

If you are good at paperwork,i'LL SEND YOU A TICKET.....

5:06 pm

rubyfoo

GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY, I;m crashing....

5:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

good night, ruby.

5:16 pm

Judi

Greetings, worldly neighbors!

5:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi judi

5:18 pm

Judi

Just reading back in chat a bit. Poor Ruby. What a horrible situation.

5:21 pm

Judi

Hard to believe that France doesn't have something akin to Hospice care. Then again... stranger things go on in the so called modern world.

5:22 pm

MollyL

It is a horrible situation. It reminds me to be grateful that my sister and I could step in and help when things got bad for my parents when they were in a similar set of circumstances.

5:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

may be a case of location, judi. ruby lives in a small village.

5:23 pm

MollyL

This is not a situation that calls for hospice. Hospice is for the dying. This situation requires that her husband be placed in nursing care. I find it hard to believe that there are not such facilities in France.

5:23 pm

Judi

Even so, TO - I would like to think there would be some sort of local or parliamentary government agency that could assist in such a case.

5:24 pm

MollyL

France is not a third world country. There are a lot of affluent, elderly people who live there. I'm sure there are the proper facilities for such care.

5:25 pm

Judi

Yes, you are correct Molly. There must at least be mental health institutions that take in long term patients (even if they are alzheimer's patients).

5:25 pm

periwinkle

She needs someone to help her find the right setting for him. Surely there is some in local government or something that could help. aretn

5:26 pm

periwinkle

there must be something like social workers or case workers. it is just to locate where they are

5:26 pm

Judi

I would hope that Ruby would emphasise that she is in fear of being assaulted by him.

5:27 pm

MollyL

The problem is that Ruby has gotten beyond the point where she can deal with this herself and she has no one to help her.

5:27 pm

Judi

The fact that she is dealing with her own serious illness now should also weigh heavily in determining where to place her husband.

5:28 pm

periwinkle

why can;t her doctor recommend an agency of some sort. maybe she can contact the closest hospital and ask them for names of facilities.

5:28 pm

Judi

As far as getting her husband committed to a facility I mean.

5:29 pm

MollyL

All these suggestions would have been great back when Ruby was in better health. Now, I think she feels like she can't manage anything anymore. It's a sad situation.

5:29 pm

periwinkle

very sad

5:29 pm

Judi

That's it. We're invading France! Where's my translation app and my sword?

5:31 pm

MollyL

We will need some steel-toed boots for ass kicking too.

5:32 pm

Judi

We'll kidnap Jerry Lewis and hold him for ransom. That should raise considerable euros.

5:33 pm

MollyL

Well Jusi, if you really want to get to the French, you need to cut off their wine supply. That will make them sit up and take notice.

5:35 pm

Judi

We shall dump all of their grapes into the sea!

5:36 pm

MollyL

It will be like The Boston Tea Party, only on foreign soil

5:37 pm

Judi

We shall shatter their wine bottles and storm the Bastille!

5:37 pm

MollyL

LET THEM EAT CAKE!!!

5:38 pm

Judi

Hell no! We'll eat their cake and make them watch.

5:40 pm

MollyL

Oh wait, we have to LET THEM EAT ROYALES WITH CHEESE

5:40 pm

Judi

Yeah, just like in Pulp Fiction!

5:42 pm

MollyL

People make great sport of poking fun of the American health care system in this forum. Truth be told, the Canadian and European health care systems are not much better.

5:44 pm

Judi

For all of the flaws, I still believe the USA has the finest doctors and most modern technology available to patients.

5:49 pm

Judi

Stomach growling. Need hubby to get home from walking the dog so we can go get some food.

5:51 pm

MollyL

Well, considering the fact that so many foreign med students come here to get their degrees, I agree with you Judi.

5:53 pm

Judi

And then we have to try to decipher what they are saying when we meet those foreign doctors when we visit the emergency room or walk-in clinic.

5:54 pm

Judi

Herrow, Mizz Morry. What seems to be the probrem today?

5:54 pm

hurshy

the trouble is there is a triangle of tension in health care. there are three things we want from it: quality/advanced treatments, low cost, and access. these things are in tension with each other, much like temperature, pressure, and volume in physics. so while we have high quality for those who can get it, we do not have low cost (we pay more for the same things) and we do not have nearly the access that many have in europe. so it all depends what you value.

5:56 pm

hurshy

(nothing that my british flag is aspirational rather than actual - my "we" refers to the US)

5:56 pm

hurshy

ugh, *noting

5:56 pm

Judi

Ah yes. The royal "we".

5:56 pm

MollyL

Oh yes Hursh, good points. But again, it's the conflict of cost and quality of care. Why say your health care is "free" when you are getting raped in absurdly high taxes to pay for it? And then have to wait ridiculously long periods of time to be seen by specialists.

5:57 pm

Judi

All good points, by the way, Hurshy.

5:57 pm

Judi

When they wrote the Hippocratic Oath, they certainly didn't include "do no harm to the patient's wallet".

5:58 pm

MollyL

Now, I think it's "First, do no harm to YOUR wallet"

5:58 pm

hurshy

my dad was able to access a certain level of care when he had an aortic dissection. i don't know how expensive it was, the insurance paid for it. i am glad he is still with us. but if i were making decisions and i had to choose between a basic level of preventative care for a room full of strangers, vs this operation for my dad, i would have to go with the room full of strangers.

5:59 pm

sallyds

Ruby, you're right about the cancer being treated as a chronic disease. I have been having quarterly treatments for several years now.

5:59 pm

hurshy

but then, i'm very fond of statistics...

6:00 pm

Judi

lol, Hurshy. Could have sw5 you were channelling Rain Man.

6:00 pm

MollyL

Well, I could never choose a room full of strangers over my Dad, but that's just me.

6:00 pm

sallyds

eras

6:01 pm

Judi

Hi, Sally. I think Ruby signed off a while ago.

6:01 pm

hurshy

i actually haven't seen rain man

6:01 pm

hurshy

hard to go back now that tom cruise is so wacko

6:02 pm

MollyL

Rain Man is worth it for Dustin Hoffman's performance

6:02 pm

Judi

Damn good movie. Give it a go. I know what you mean about Tom Cruise. Although, he's more realistic in his movies than in real life. We just saw Mission Impossible 5.

6:03 pm

MollyL

Cruise's character in that movie is kind of an asshole, so it was type casting.

6:03 pm

Judi

Dustin Hoffman is amazing in that movie.

6:03 pm

hurshy

what a sad thing to have someone say about you - that you're more realistic in movies than in real life!

6:04 pm

Judi

It is sad, but true. He's a walking freak show.

6:04 pm

hurshy

i kind of have trouble watching movies

6:04 pm

Judi

With all due respect to normal freaks (and you know who you are).

6:04 pm

hurshy

i'm like, you want me to make a TWO HOUR commitment to this ONE THING?! what if it's boring?

6:04 pm

MollyL

So many freak shows, so little time

6:05 pm

Judi

heh heh. Gotta go get some food. See y'all tomorrow! *POOF*

6:06 pm

MollyL

Well, thanks to web streaming, you no longer have to make a commitment to any movie you don't like.

zoozzoom

I will bring a bottle of vintage bollinger and my elephant trick!

6:27 pm

MollyL

A decent bottle of tequila will run you 30 bucks. Do the math. $6.50 for a margarita is spending a lot more than you have to.

6:27 pm

periwinkle

drinks are way too much in bars and restaurants. I will stick to my G&T at home

6:28 pm

periwinkle

I only have drinks out if somone else is paying
