1:25 am
sprite
*hugs rose* Good evening my dear friend. How did your day go and how are you?
1:28 am
grannyrose
not too bad today. left cheek pain becoming less acute. and you sweetie? how's the ankle in the soft plaster today?
1:29 am
sprite
glad to hear the butt pain is subsiding. I cooked curry soup yesterday and that was a bit too much on the ankle. Lots of pain and a bad night. The soup is delicious though :)
1:30 am
grannyrose
nice soup.... we had take-away indian last night. basmati rice and butter chicken and mango chicken. so yummy.
1:31 am
grannyrose
can you rest up today? elevate the ankle for most of it?
1:31 am
sprite
I love indian. Both eating and cooking.
1:33 am
grannyrose
how's the Robster today?
1:34 am
sprite
nope. Today I am attending a meeting from the OA intergroup. Might take up a service position as translator.
1:34 am
sprite
the Robster is asleep, lol. Snored through the night, then said this morning he did not sleep well and was gonna sleep in :D
1:34 am
sprite
and how is the Donster?
1:34 am
grannyrose
spritey.... you just have to take it slower sweetie. you are still recovering.
1:35 am
sprite
I know... but rose, I am SO sick and tired of sitting on my bed all day. I need a change of scenery, of people, of activities.
1:36 am
grannyrose
don's okay. he tr5 to make out that he is sorer than i am... and maybe he is... but if he hasn't taken the pain meds, there is no sympathy from me.
1:37 am
sprite
very good. He is one of my favorite guys in the world, but he does need to grow up a little. Not asking too much... from spoiled child to almost grown adolescent would do ;)
1:37 am
grannyrose
i hear you, but the correct rest NOW, means less time to be taken in the healing process. AND LESS PAIN... wich means less reaction from your poor ol' body.
1:39 am
grannyrose
and the more ready you will be for us when we arrive.
1:39 am
sprite
ugh... I hate it when you are right. LOL. Nah, not really. You are right and it is true, but my body heals up better when my spirit is at peace. I promise I will elevate my leg while there. And I have arranged for a ride to and from, don't have to walk much at all.
1:40 am
grannyrose
okay. rest there it is... but if i find out !!!! keep looking over your shoulder... lolll.
1:41 am
sprite
:D :D if only! That would bring you here a whole month earlier!
1:41 am
grannyrose
honey, both need to be at peace.
1:42 am
sprite
next week is low key.
1:42 am
grannyrose
at the same time....
1:43 am
sprite
monday morning anesthetician, no outdoor appointments the rest of the week apart from singing lesson.
1:43 am
grannyrose
i am trying to keep next week low key also. don and i are cooking up meals for the luncheon whilst we are away.
1:43 am
sprite
you are truly amazing. Can't somebody else step in for a month??
1:45 am
grannyrose
i think my FM is progressing further into the harder to bear zone. oh they are honey. i have organised two people to cook the main course for two of the weeks. one is already in the freezer.
1:46 am
sprite
that is lovely. The meal thing, not the FM. How come with the FM? Did the infusions not do the trick this time?
1:46 am
grannyrose
btw, if i was to bring a letter from my GP to a doc over there, do you think i would have much of a problem getting a script for endone?
1:48 am
sprite
I don't know. I can look into it for you, ask what would be needed. If it can be arranged, you may have to pay for it and send it in to your insurance later. I can give my pharmacy and doctor a call.
1:49 am
grannyrose
well the muscle pain is definitely better, and the hip pain is gone. but i se4 to feel very low and need the endone to start my day. i try to last until late morning before i take one. but i think i am going to need another box while i am there.
1:49 am
grannyrose
honey, that would be great, thanx
1:49 am
sprite
will do and let you know
1:51 am
sprite
endone, is that oxycodon?
2:01 am
grannyrose
endone is the fast acting form of oxycodone
2:01 am
sprite
okay. Will let you know next week.
2:04 am
grannyrose
ta love. i am pretty sure the chemist here is allowed to give me adequate meds to cover our time away but i thought it might be good to know how i would go seeing a doc over there if i ne4ed to.
2:05 am
sprite
it is probably best to bring as much as you can, but it never hurts to have a backup plan and I will also ask about you visiting my doctor while you are here if needed.
2:07 am
grannyrose
trying to cover all the bases so to speak.
2:15 am
grannyrose
honey, i am so looking forward to our time together. btw have you heard from Kam lately?
2:15 am

2:28 am
grannyrose
oh my zooz... how awful
2:29 am
zoozzoom
He had to stay in hospital for four days.
2:29 am

2:30 am

must have been so traumatic for all of you, especially your dad.
2:30 am
zoozzoom
He is home now but has stomach ache and can't go for number 2s

zoozzoom
The way it goes I suppose.
2:32 am
zoozzoom
Glad your foot is healing up, Sprite!
2:32 am
sprite
it is hard on all of you. They are amazingly lucky to have you for a son, zooz. How are you holding up under it all, though?
2:33 am
grannyrose
the prostate gland is very delicate and can bleed very easily.
2:33 am
sprite
mine never bothers me
2:34 am
zoozzoom
Best not go there, Sprite. I have my mask so to speak lol
2:34 am
grannyrose
btw, zooz. we have a product called benefibre. a powder which can be stirred into just about anything. no taste.
2:35 am
zoozzoom
Thankfully my bladder is fine.
2:35 am
grannyrose
very effective too.
2:35 am
sprite
not laughing... keeping up a mask is taxing as well. Wish I could do something to help you cope.
2:36 am
zoozzoom
Sorry for slow typing using xbox as laptop is dead.
2:36 am
sprite
ugh, doesn't make for easy chatting, lol. Sorry the laptop was terminal.
2:37 am
grannyrose
zooz love. please email your address. i will gladly buy the first bottle of benefibre for your dad. if it works, all good.
2:37 am
zoozzoom
Thanks, Rose, but he wouldn't take it anyway.
2:38 am
sprite
*grins* she said no taste... just sprinkle it over his food ;)
2:38 am
grannyrose
he won't know it is there. i promise. you can pu i in tea, coffee, milk, cereal...whatever.
2:38 am
zoozzoom
I have no email at the moment.

You are very kind but I can afford it lol
2:40 am
grannyrose
zooz.... do i have to come over there and smack your ears together? please.... let me help.
2:40 am

2:41 am
sprite
hiya Frances
2:41 am

2:46 am
sprite

2:46 am
zoozzoom
Nope except they caused major trauma.
2:46 am
grannyrose
xoxox dearest sprite. remember... rest that ankle... please.
2:46 am
zoozzoom
Have a great day, Sprite!
2:48 am
zoozzoom
They have put a three way catheter in and it has to be changed to his normal one on Wednesday so he is nervous about that.
2:49 am
grannyrose
shorter time between so will probably be okay this time.
2:50 am
zoozzoom
Will be the same two nurses who came last time. That will go down well lol
2:50 am
grannyrose
yeah.... they are gonna have to do a lot of persuading...
2:51 am
zoozzoom
Anyway. Thanks for listening..go get your beauty sleep!
2:52 am
grannyrose
hey... who you calling ugly.....
2:52 am

8:41 am

kje, some people go SOBO (southbound), others do a flip-flop at Harpers Ferry, but the majority go NOBO.
8:42 am
Scrabbler
Which parts, carla?
8:42 am
kje
Harpers Ferry was a common hike for us when I lived in MD
8:42 am
kje
it isn't a bad drive out from Baltimore
8:43 am
hokie carla
I think Dragon's Tooth in Va, near VT is part of it
8:43 am
hokie carla
I think I have also done some in NC but couldn't tell you what
8:43 am

I stopped at Harpers Ferry on my way home last way. What a cool place, historically and geographically. I will do that again this year.
8:44 am

I have heard of that, carla.
8:45 am
Scrabbler
I walked through HF then walked the bridge across the Susquehanna River over to Maryland.
8:45 am

We used to do that and then go fill up at the Homeplace Restaurant. So good.

We watch for copperheads on the trail in VA, but we saw black bears.

no thanks to either of those!
8:49 am

oh was that more comforting to see the black bears instead scrab?:)
8:49 am

maybe, though hiking with scrab could be unnerving ; )
8:49 am

People detoured around that section of the trail.

8:52 am
Scrabbler
One of my birdfeeders has bear tooth marks in it.
8:52 am
MLFAN17
still not getting it?
8:52 am
kje
black bears will usually run from people, unless their cubs are threatened, or on the AT where stupid people feed them
8:52 am
72 Temple Owl
we had one in our township. i blame NJ for exporting them1 ;)
8:53 am
Scrabbler
Food protection overnight is critical--bear canisters or bags that hang from poles.
8:53 am
MLFAN17
scrab that's not good
8:53 am
kje
they are not required on the AT - they are required here, and you will be escorted out if you don't have one
8:53 am
Scrabbler
MLFAN--past tense of to do, then add Main **reet
8:54 am
72 Temple Owl
well being in a group of 5 did not save the student. i pooh pooohed the warnings until that happened, thinking they are more scared of me. but any time they are near humans, they get used to them
8:54 am
Scrabbler
They are required in Great Smoky Mtn NP
8:54 am
kje
it may be time for the AT to get stricter re the trail rules
8:54 am
72 Temple Owl
they are wise anywhere in forested areas.
8:55 am
Scrabbler
In the HIgh Peaks of the Adirondack Mtns bear canisters are required. We used them last June and we did have a bear in our camp. We found him when we return after having dinner 1/2 mile away.
8:55 am
kje
even without bears, the bear can is useful bc it also keeps out mice and squirrels etc... animals are all too clever
8:56 am
72 Temple Owl
well, the sun is peeking out. time to do the laundry for outdoor refreshing.
8:56 am

9:04 am

When we hiked Bryce/Zion/Grand Canyons our guides told us that mtn lions watch us but that we would not see them.
9:05 am

I would probably just die of fright
9:05 am

so creepy - lol
9:05 am

re the mountain lions, i mean
9:06 am
Scrabbler
Every opening we saw in rocks and dirt we suspected a mtn lion.
9:06 am
hokie carla
I wasn't too worried at Bryce because the trail we did had a ton of people, but we hiked at a nearby state park and never saw anyone on the whole trail and I was a wreck
9:06 am

The isolation would scare me.
9:06 am

estrangements are weird things.. they lose strength over time
