Hi Kam - how did it all go?
12:15 am
Kamanjah
It went wonderfully!! We go back every 2 weeks for...until he gets his meds tapered as much as possible. Has to go slow to get off the meds, which was a disappointment, but he's feeling great!
12:15 am

Peri, he had DBS (deep brain stimulation) surgery for Parkinson's. Today they FINALLY turned on his controller. On low. He can increase .1 volts from 1 volt to 2 volts over the next 2 weeks.

that sounds really good, Kam.

He said it's a miracle he never thought would happen!

I just refreshed the clues and lickety is the same from Friday, anyone else check
12:24 am

Just checked - mine match this grid.
12:24 am
NANCY
weird, will go out and redo the whole thing
12:24 am

Good luck

Use the F5 button to refresh.
12:33 am
NANCY
I did refresh but that did not work. shut the comp down completely and rebooted and now everything is ok. weird, never happened to me before
12:34 am
Lizlin
Good that it's sorted - however it was managed :)
12:38 am
Lizlin
Hm - won't accept tagine. Does that mean I can't order one for dinner tonight?
12:42 am
rbud
well, you certainly made me look it up, haha!
12:43 am
sprite
good morning all. I think it is tahine (sp).
12:45 am
rbud
no, it's there - also spelled tajine. A stew of sorts... the details have already escaped me. :)
12:45 am
sprite
hiya rbud :)
12:48 am
rbud
hello, sprite - what's new?
12:49 am

nothing much, today, same old same old. How about you?
12:50 am
rbud
was peacefully napping, woke up just in time for flip, so here I am.
12:50 am

slow going tonight better go to bed and try with fresh mind in the morning, good night all and happy babbling

12:51 am
sprite
nothing like a good nap
12:53 am
rbud
it's a funny grid, a lot of almost there words, haha - almost endings, barely used de's and un's and en's for beginnings... I keep jarring to a halt with almost something or other.
12:53 am
sprite
ah, good to know it is not just me then
12:55 am
rbud
at least I found the infamous needlecase and fondly smiled... but only almost for the good old volcano, alas.
12:58 am
sprite
I keep seeing adapt
1:02 am
sprite
I am over halfway, with 2x6 and nothing bigger! Time to hu4 for some biggies, methinks.
1:08 am
rbud
well, that 8 is a doozy, and a stand-alone! Have never seen it before - only have it because I sneaked a peek (shame on me!) when Nancy had her refresh problem and then hit morewords.
1:08 am
sprite
no shame there. Just research :D
1:09 am
rbud
I did already have the two 9's from the chat hints, but I know you avoid those early on.
1:10 am
sprite
yes, I still enjoy trying to find them on my own, even though I am notoriously biggieblind.
1:13 am
sprite
found one!
1:14 am

good on ya! :D

1:24 am
sprite
did it go well, Kam?
1:24 am
grannyrose
sprite, step-daughter rang last night and gaily informed us she was coming over to spend a few days with us. as the spare/guest bedroom is also my ironing/mending room guess what i have been doing all afternoon? plus all the washing of towels etc from change linen day.
1:25 am
sprite
rose... don't you know that "No thank you" is also a very good answer?
1:25 am
grannyrose
i read Kam. i am so pleased with the results. xoxox for BOTH of you.
1:25 am
Kamanjah
Very well, Sprite. It will be a process of adjustment over many weeks...he has to taper his meds to not shock his system
1:26 am
sprite
am so glad it went so well!
1:27 am
grannyrose
lolll..... yeah i know. but HE can't say no to any of his kids. *sigh* anyway, i've tod him he has to clean up the kitchen, including the floor. AND he can wrap the gifts ready for the 3 birthdays. so there!!!
1:27 am
sprite
good for you, darling.
1:27 am
Kamanjah
Thanks, Rose. Everyone's support is much appreciated! He saw Kate's enthusiasm on FB today and asked me who is this Kate person, lol!
I told him on the way up today that he had friends the world over wishing him well
1:28 am
sprite
he does, and so do you
1:28 am
grannyrose
i am thinking it is time he learnt just how hard it is to clean in a hurry, and clean well in the process.
1:28 am
sprite
indeed. He sure does, rose, and you are the only one who can teach him at this stage
1:29 am
ursh
hello all - Kam add a supporter from South Africa - husband has Parkinsons - so far controlled well by meds but followed your story with a warm heart :)

fireflies. Last words the cu7, en8 and op7 biggies
1:30 am

so i am sitting here, chatting after playing an excellent babble grid even if it does have some weird ones i have never even heard of in it.
1:30 am
grannyrose
WTG SPRITE!!!
1:30 am
sprite
time to go... *hugs* for you all and one extra for rose. Have a great day/night all
1:31 am
grannyrose
xoxox darling friend. i hope your day is perfect.
1:32 am
Kamanjah
Aw. thanks so much Ursh! Hubby now wishes he hadn't waited so long. He kept saying no to the DBS until PD started on his left side too, then once he decided to look into having it done, it took over a year to get the referrals and testing.
1:32 am
Kamanjah
Have a great day Sprite!
1:34 am
Kamanjah
Sending strength to you and your hubs, Ursh. It's a tough journey when the meds stop working as well as they did "a few months ago."
1:35 am
grannyrose
kam, the important thing is he stuck it out, and now you are both reaping the rewards. xox
1:36 am
grannyrose
not to diminish your support for him at all. you both wouldn't have achieved this without the support and encouragement from each other.
1:36 am
Kamanjah
And it seems a relentless schedule of me having to try to reschedule my internal clock every couple of weeks for up to six months to get him to appointments. But it is looking good, he had it done in time
1:37 am
Kamanjah
Hells bells, I practically shoved him into the program. Well, pushed, shoved, called, nagged a bit...
1:38 am
grannyrose
rofloll, just a bit ??
1:38 am
Kamanjah
He didn't want to cut his hair
1:38 am
grannyrose
*rolls eyes* excuse me ?!?
1:41 am
Kamanjah
If you look at Native American lore, cutting your hair is to lose your strength. Therefore, losing his hair was hard. I'll email you the photo of what I had to cut off the night before the first surgery.
1:42 am
Kamanjah
It is still saved with the sage
1:46 am
grannyrose
ahhh, now i understand. poor man.
1:50 am
Kamanjah
I'm glad you understand now.
1:59 am
rbud
I had to cut off my dear departed Hubs' hair once - he got thumped on the head by a dead tree while riding his motorcycle in a windstorm. Cracked vertibrae, had to wear a halo brace for 3 months. When they told him he'd have to wear it, the nurses were ready to shave his head, all those pretty, dark blond long curls... I told them no, stand back, give me the scissors and shaver. He wound up with it still long in the back and a sort of wide mohawk - I saved all I could that would still let them do what had to be done. It was hard.
2:01 am
rbud
there was also the issue of the near scalping around the top back - they *did* have to shave some there.
2:03 am
rbud
we called that accident "near death story number 272" or some other random high number... he had lots and lots of near death stories. Was a lucky man to live as long as he did...
2:03 am
Kamanjah
I hear ya, rbud...stand back when it comes to that man's hair! Rose saw the photo - a ceremonial braid with sage. I just saved what we could the night before he had to have the rest shaved off. He looks funny to me now, his hair is an inch long all over, and needs some shaping. He hasn't decided what to do...I'm hearing Mohawk and Roach...and just wanting to keep it shaped up as it grows back. Lordy, that must have been awful
2:03 am
Kamanjah
And sorry he's not with you now, except in spirit.
2:05 am
Kamanjah
At least I didn't get with my hubby until his biker days were history. I probably would have had a heart attack long ago...the stories he tells are more than enough!
2:08 am
Bonasa
Kam - I don't usually enter into the chat (all I can do to find words!), but thought I'd let you know that I had the DBS surgery 6.5 years ago - it worked great and continues to do so. As for the hair issue, it's a good time to sport a cool hat or two!
2:08 am
rbud
yeah, even after spending 30 years plus with him, there were still the 27 years before that with stories that were unbelievable.
2:09 am
rbud
once he hit a horse on a Norton bike - the horse eventually died... not him!
2:09 am
grannyrose
have to move along. xoxox {{kam}} {{kam's hubby}} {{rbud}} hope to see you all after next flip.
2:10 am
Kamanjah
Take care, Rose. *Hugs*
2:10 am
rbud
s'long, rose ((( hugs)))
2:10 am
Kamanjah
Whew, rbud. You must have nerves of steel
2:12 am
rbud
one day he and a buddy were standing around a poster of a skeleton he had on the shop door, swapping broken bone stories... finally agreed it would be easier to list the unbroken ones.
2:12 am
Kamanjah
Quicker, for sure.
You must have many "brothers" watching after you.
2:13 am
rbud
I just always did what had to be done to help mop up afterwards and hoped for the best. what else can ya do, you know?
2:14 am
Kamanjah
Exactly.
2:15 am
rbud
he was the fighter, I was just along to help. Ten years before I met him he cracked three backbones in a car wreck, they said he might never walk again then. He just plain wouldn't give up, and did it anyway.
2:17 am
rbud
there are a few special friends who do still check up on me and help some when needed, but those poor guys are all getting old, too, lol.
2:18 am
rbud
then of course a bunch just poofed when the long party came to a halt when he got so ill. so it goes.
2:18 am
Kamanjah
Hear ya about them all getting old...I think we only have one friend who still even has a bike. He says he can ride for about 10 minutes before his back starts screaming 'stop!'
2:21 am
Kamanjah
I'm sorry for what you've been thru, can't imagine losing hubs right now...we've been thru a lot with this brain surgery, and he's getting better.
Sorry friends flaked, happens. And it makes me sad.
2:23 am
rbud
so glad for you two, it's so good to hear. ♥
2:24 am
rbud
at least the old boys are good with advice, especially with house and car problems, haha. My go-to guy for truck repair problems has some sort of defibrillating implant now. Wow.

2:25 am
Kamanjah
It's scary watching everyone get old. But time marches on...and on...
2:26 am
rbud
I've been pretty lucky so far myself, no major anything needed yet, no broken bones to speak of (maybe a little toe, lol). No major surgeries, no pills, knock on wood.
2:27 am
rbud
just a lucky but kinda lazy old lady.
2:30 am
Kamanjah
Glad you've been blessed that way. I've had some issues, but I hang in as best I can. I didn't used to drive much - until I had to be hub's driver for all of these adventures we've had recently. He did buy me a new car though! I really needed one, it has helped me like to drive again!
2:38 am
rbud
oh, how nice for you! I do I wish I could get something running, both our trucks are down at the moment. Trying to decide which one to sink the cash into, lol. But really, I'm fairly content not going much of anywhere, I've always been like that. And yet I ended up being the family taxi service most of the time. Kind of nice to not have to now. I send out cash and a list, and just take it easy.
2:40 am
rbud
but when I do want to go, and can't, it's frustrating.
2:41 am
rbud
just good that my little job is only a block away, that's for sure. Reminds me, I want to bug our son about my bicycle again, haha.
2:44 am
Kamanjah
I hear ya on that. I had a '96 Honda, the AC compressor died in spring of 2016. I live where summers are triple digits most days. I finally got my new car in Oct 2016. At least the Honda still ran, but, whew! Too hot. Hope you get some wheels in order soon. I'm over 7 miles from "town," so a bicycle wouldn't get me to a store. Too many hills in the way.
2:48 am
rbud
That's about how far it is to a real town from here, too. This town's only about pop. 325, only a post office, my library, and one little bar that peddles a few useful groceries. That's all the bike would be good for, really. But there is a bike trail along a canal just down the road, kind of pleasant.
2:52 am
Kamanjah
It's 35 miles at least to a "real" town, but at least there's a grocery and pharmacy, both terribly overpriced! But when you're the only show in town...
2:55 am
rbud
stuck at 98, been trying to hit 100 before I either list or give up, lol.
2:56 am
Kamanjah
I need to sleep, long, long day! 23 left...manana!
2:56 am
rbud
been nice chatting with you, sleep well, g'night. :)
2:57 am
Kamanjah
nice chatting with you too! Take care :)
3:11 am

or even Bonjour
3:19 am
rbud
hiya, ruby! still stuck at 99, haha. how goes it with you?
3:19 am
rubyfoo
so far 68 hard-earned words
3:21 am
rubyfoo
The weather here is perfect! 50 or so at night, 65-70 in the morning, gradually warming to 80-85.
3:21 am
rubyfoo
It's my reward for living through the cold, cruel, endless winter
3:21 am
rbud
I am determined to hit 100 without the list, so am just monkeying along.
3:22 am
rubyfoo
l'd be happy with half aand nbt, but even that is unlikely
3:23 am
rbud
oh, that *is* perfect. Been nice here the last couple of days, too, after some really hot ones. Just enjoying it before it goes back up to ridiculous levels again, I'm sure it's due soon.
3:23 am
rbud
that's usually more or less my happy point, too, halfway, nbt, nbs. But I ended up in the '80s so I kept on.
3:24 am
rubyfoo
l'm less motivated than before.
3:25 am
rubyfoo
They've been changing my meds and stillhaven't settled on a regime.
3:26 am
rbud
not quite feeling yourself isn't pleasant.
3:26 am
rubyfoo
So every day is a small adventure inpain or discomfort or justmanaging
3:27 am
rubyfoo
Fortunately, 5 days a week l have a lot of help. lt's the weekends that are tough
3:27 am
rbud
aha! 100! yay.
3:28 am
rubyfoo
Yay for you! Have a lovely day!
3:30 am
rbud
Thanks! I recommend not wracking your brain over the en8, I would never have gotten it without morewords. The two 9's at least have 7's and end with the past tense and aren't as odd.
3:30 am
rbud
ou7 and ou9, then ca7 and ca9.
3:31 am
rbud
(((hugs))) and off I go.
3:34 am

May I have a nudge please on that EN8?
4:39 am

en + San Francisco state abbreviation + last two of female chicken + vowel

Or...Three letter abbreviation on a written correspondence that means you will find something else tucked in the envelope + Latin plural + first three of American/Canadian border waterfalls
