2:19 am
grannyrose
all okay here thanx. had a quick appointment with GP. in view of my family history she thinks its a good idea for me to have a colonoscopy. when she asked how i felt about that, i said... very negative, thanks much for asking... loll
2:20 am
sprite
lol, I luvsya! But it sounds like a good idea. Horrible to go through but if it may catch bad things at a very early state, it might be worth it.

oh today our Aldi supermarket had the complete collection of Enid Blyton's Famous Five and the Secret Seven. i was there like a shot. great books for grandkids.
2:26 am
sprite
oh those are perfect books. I read them all. And the twins series too, I think.
2:26 am
grannyrose
i am determined to NOT buy Captain Underpants or Diary of a Wimpy Kid. too many classics around still.
2:27 am
sprite
grannies should give their grandkids the chance to connect with the classics. I think that is tradition. If not, it should be.
2:27 am
grannyrose
oh, did you?? did you also read the Adventures of the Wishing-chair, and the Faraway Tree.
2:28 am

speaking of which, I found a new word for our dictionary yesterday.

2:28 am

oh my... lollll put it in....
2:29 am
grannyrose
the wishing chair had little wings on its legs, and flew the kids to all sorts of places.
2:30 am
grannyrose
and the faraway tree, had characters living in its branches and at the top, cloud lands came by every so often. i just loved imagining the scenes.
2:31 am
sprite
don't think those have been published here in dutch in my time. Don't ring a bell and I cannot find a dutch title for them either.
2:31 am
sprite
the firtue made me giggle, all by myself, lol
2:31 am

ahhh. what a pity.
2:33 am

9:22 am
cybernan
just read the chat and have to say that medical care and doctor's calls in France (yes they still make house calls there) are cheap compared to Canada and penny ante stuff compared to the states.
9:23 am
kje
I make house calls ; )
9:24 am
cybernan
good for you kje --- can't get anyone to do that here
9:25 am
kje
most geriatricians in US do - they are covered under Medicare for people who are "homebound"
9:25 am
kje
pediatricians often do them also, for high risk kids or high utilizers where they are trying to get a better idea of what is going on
9:25 am
cybernan
good policy for those who have medicare
9:26 am
EvaNadine
hello babblers!
9:26 am
kje
but in general, healthcare here is not great
9:26 am
rururocks
medicare is going to be a blessing for me in a year
9:26 am

I had a friend who cut her finger down there --- doc wouldn't even look at her withoutk $300 up front, then it was another $300 for 3 stitches and to get them out a week later.
9:26 am
rururocks
hello eva
9:27 am

How do you know if it's pneumonia or a bad cold?
9:57 am
cybernan
if you are that sick and running a fever maybe you should see the doc anyway
9:57 am
rururocks
a high fever and painful breathing is pneumonia symptoms
9:58 am
MollyL
As far as I remember the difference between the two has to do with sputum color
9:58 am
gramma
I'm not always feverish but my heart seems to be really pounding on occasion
9:58 am
gramma
What sputum? I just cough and cough with no results
9:58 am
rururocks
could be bronchitis too then
9:59 am
rururocks
sounds like you could use antibiotics gramma.. best not to mess with it Pneumonia is awful.. i almost died from it once
10:00 am
gramma
I'm going back to bed again. Day 3 ugh. If I'm not on the mend tomorrow I'll go to the doctor.
10:01 am
MollyL
I'm no doctor but I have had pneumonia. And if you don't have a "productive" cough it probably isn't pneumonia.
10:02 am
gramma
Okay thanks for the diagnosis. See you all tomorrow.
10:03 am
cybernan
if you have had a constant dry cough, the membranes in your bronchial tubes could be inflamed -- try a cough suppressant for a while - hot tea or lemonade with lots of honey helps too.
10:04 am
rururocks
the heart pounding is worrisome. i would see a doctor sooner than later
