Kathleen!! Stop it girl!! honestly, gosh, I do wish I had that tiny weeny waist. One of my current challanges. Thinking of you daaaaling. Hope your sister is feeling better and that you haven't "got" her flu!!

Take care of you! and thanks for your posts. It is always lovely to check in and see how you are doing.

I've got to get lunch ready for my chickadees, and DH. He's back off to Italy at 5 am, so we have to enjoy him whilst he is here.

Faith! take it easy, I know it is hard to pace yourself, with all that brilliant energy, but Lymphoedema, it demands restraint. (says the one with the aching arm).

xxxxxxxxxx hug hugs hugs all round, and peachy vibes too.

Sister's fine.  She was back to eating as usual yesterday.  Don't worry about me - since she told me this was not airborne I have been washing my hands like crazy!  And staying away from her!

Most of the last two days she's looked like this:

Morning Bunnies,

Here is a little pocket of sunshine and heat for you all.  I have plenty and love to share with my friends.

Coonie ... for you!

Sharon ... I'm staying on top of it!

Shiny ... she's cute but not that cute!

Vivvy ... that sunshine basket is so refreshing!

kmccraw423

Sharon ... I did a (as in one) load of laundry and that's it.

Heartfelt greetings:

What can I say, I'm Irish - any excuse to celebrate!

Ain't it the truth!

Oh, one not so funny result of my sister's trip to the ER - she was diagnosed with Diabetes, Type II.  We will be on the same eating plan.

barbe1958

Kathleen, isn't she a Doctor?? Wouldn't she know? How absolutely scary for her! At least she has you to show her the ropes of diet and exercise...

Marple

Sorry about your sister being dx too Kathleen.  While at emerg yesterday I met a gal whose son is diabetic and has the flu.  They couldn't get his sugar or heart rate down enough to release him.  I guess the flu throws everything out of whack.

I say since it's a bright sunny day there should be no housework done.  Easy for me, I didn't plan to do any anyway.

coonie

Good morning Bunnies!!

Awwhh Kathleen.........sorry to hear about your sister. At least you can both eat the same things now.

Hope all of you have a wondermous Monday!!!

Thinking of all of you today!!!!

Happy Tuesday ... well in an Hour it will be! I have justfinished typing notes for one of my team meetings at school. Loooots to go over. Trying to getg,as usualy the right ballance of positive encouragement, and positive "pressure" for Ds's sake. Wish me luck! I wish it was at 10 not 9 sharp, so I could prepare better, just too whooped tonight.

Kathleen! I though the same as the others.. that I am sorry for your sister, but that at least you can eat the same, which means you can also support each other. Hope she can get it under control soon.

Coonie, Sharron, Barbe,and all bunnies. thinking of you. nighty night.

Shiny xx

Yep ... she's a doctor.  She thought, like I did many moons ago, that since she wasn't losing weight it wasn't diabetes!  You can have 9 out of the 10 warning signs and because you're not losing weight - it can't be diabetes!  If you're going to have an insideous disease it could at least make you lose weight!

She has given me nothing but guilt about what I eat - turnaround is fair play.  She would bring home pastries, candy, chips, etc. and I would just want to throw it all down the garbage disposal - now I can!

Coonie ... love that pic.

Sharon ... I hate to say it but I am so bored I am about to resort to housework!  Help me before I hurt myself!

shiny

Kathleen!! Come over here! I have a million things to cut and laminate for the school, by 3 pm, and there just isn't enough time! sigh.. i wish.

Ohhh, I wish we would be there when you tell your sister off for her naughty foods. I really do not like it when people tell others off about their eating when they do not do look at what they are doing. I think.. God has a sense of humour..I am sure she will, like it or not feel a lot better by dooing as you do. bless.

As for your urgent issue.. if you are going to do housework..dust the keyboard as you chat with friends online??

got to get this done, just checking on you all.

xx hug hug

Oh bunnies. My DH kidnapped me this weekend and took me to visit friends who live in Naples, FL .......... so we got to go to the actual beach yesterday. It was postcard perfect in every way. Hard to imagine with all of the weather forcasts for the midwest, that such a blessing could be found.

I've still got to download the pictures.... I promise to share some, to brighten up those of you under a blanket of snow.

Much love to all.

Shiny, you are our shining example of maternal love & what can be accomplished.

Kathleen, you can be smug for a little bit, over the turn of events under your roof.

Hugs to all in the bunny-hutch.

Gosh I haven't done any cleaning in ages. I'm such a card carrying member of the non work in the house department.

Well, here it is 5 a.m. and I'm up.  I don't know why I can't sleep in.  By 7:30 p.m. tonight I will be nodding off on the sofa.

Shiny ... I wish I could be there to help you.  What are you cutting and laminating?  I am afraid that I won't be taking the high road with my sister,  I'd like to be a bigger person but I will be having too much fun.  This sister isn't as bad as the youngest one known as the "food police."  She is downright obnoxious.

Faith ... what a wonderful husband.  The beach!  Please post pictures, especially for those of us buried in the snow.  We live vicariously through you!

BTW, my cousin's little boy, Nathan, fell and had to have stiches in his head.  He will be over here tomorrow so my sis can take out the stitches.  His Mom thought it would be too traumatic to take him back to the urgent care.  Four people had to hold him down to get the stitches in - the poor little tyke!  Oh, the traumas of boyhood.

To all dustbunnies - much love.

Love back at you Kathleen,

Just sneeking a peek at the thread on my coffee break before me and my beloved ds do 1 hour work together. I have him home at 12 on Wednesday so that school can do some curriculum diferentiation for him, and he gets a bit of a rest. We both enjoy our 1/2 day Wednesday together. Mummy is running out of stream however and coffee not doing the trick. Am off at a traning course (special needs thingy) tomorrow and the next, so DH is coming home early fromI taly this week to take over school runs. So no doubt I will want to push forth and tidy more before his arrival. I am going to arrive at this venue tomorrow and just go straight to bed.. I could go shopping or what ever, but I feel a long snooze is long overdue! ! Kathleen, I was laminating and labeling some new "props and motivators" pictures and some instructions for some new stuff for the Learning support assistants to use with my child.

ohh. Got my ct report. A possibly "new lesion in the liver" and a few other incidentals in chest near chest wall and intra muscular something or other, that were "undetermined". None overly worrying, but it is sujested that they are compared with previous scan (done at my cancer hosp) for comparison, and recommedn MRI if comparison not available or conclusive. I do have a few bits in my liver already, so I recon it will be the same stuff. So waiting on that. I am getting on with the rest of my lemonette stuff. Still trialling 3 drugs for lungs and steroid turbo inhaler, the spine guy has sent me now for weekly therapy sessions at the local hospital start next week, and the neuropathy, and heart tests are in the pipeline.

The above is for those of you wondering"wassup with the Lemontests"

Kathleen, kiss your nephew for me.

got to dash,

love to all.

Shiny, I hate that things are still inconclusive. Is that a polite British way of saying they have no friggin' idea????

I, too, had liver "things" for a number of years that just turned out to be fatty liver. I'd like to see a current report as I haven't had alcohol for over 2 years!!

shiny

Barbe it is a sloooow process indeed. Am quite breathless at the moment,back to chest specialist again in about 1 month to see how the meds are doing, so we shall see what he then sujests.

Am preparing reluctantly to "blits" my kitchen and lounge before DH's arrival from Italy in 2 hours(want it to feel nicer, especially as he is doing the school runs etc, so I can go overnight to a training day out of town tomorrow).. I was sitting here for my 10 min break, feeling very whoooooped, and feet screaming.. So my question to you is :what do any of you that have it, take for pain from Taxoterre type peripheral neuropathy, just wondered, in case I could try something new sooner then later? ( I have it permanently now..the neuropathy, not the tax!)

Well, my break nearly over, so best get to it.

oh, btw: took my dd and my ds to the "toy shop" so they could choose a toy from my mum who sent some money for that at xmas. My 10 year old boy.. chose Elmo, "hug elmo" plush talking toy. I think he is going through a reminising phase, not that he has ever been like other 10 year old being SEN and special, but this week he started watching his old thomas the tank engine video again and his jay jay the jet plane.. come to think of it, it's probably all due to the fact that he understands more of what's being said so it feels all new and better now. Bless him, he is sooooo sweet. Counting the minutes until he could "go get his sister from Brownies tonight"  saying "don't want to loose your sister, no, go get her, sister". xx I am a lucky girl.

Sending you and your lovely families my bestest peachiest hugs, and will praying for the bunch of you for happy pain free days.

Lyrica and/or Neurontin is used for peripheral neuropathy with diabetics, It takes a couple of weeks to build up in your system, but do ask your docs.

shiny

Thank you very much Barbe! Wow, you areeee quick.xx hug., thanks again.

Cat's climbing onto Dd's wardrobe, so need to "rescue" them, as keeping her awake.

Mum, step back and hold your hands out.
