For Older People with Sense

Leah, happy for you that the MRI was clear and you have the go ahead for surgery. 

Alyson, sorry for your loss. It is hard watching our loved ones suffering but we still suffer when they leave us.

((((hugs)))))

I am starting to worry that I will be booted from this thread. The more sense part is hard to hang onto some days. Yesterday I drove myself to a chiropractic appt. After being in the office and watching a downpour from the waiting room, I walked back up the hill to where I parked my car. It was parallel parking so I could not see the cars themselves but noticed a car door open. I thought to myself "who is the idiot that left their car door open in a pouring rain?" As I got closer I realized it was my car!!!!

Alyson, adding my condolences. Special aunts are one of life's real treasures - so sorry you have to go through this.

Leah, good news!

Maca - rads was a long recovery for me.  I'd been warned it can take months and months to feel "myself" again, and it did. Just keep on getting better. Lots of water, lots of good protein, and walk as much as you are able with your breathing problems.

Chrissy how are you getting on?

Lovemygoats - I used to keep French Alpines. I sold the surplus milk, and the Greeks came from miles away to buy the wethered milk (& pasture) -fed males.  I guess we had about 50 at the peak. We lived in Oregon in cowboy country, but the cowboys would come to visit at kidding time to play with my babies and they all made me promise not to tell the other cowboys... The babies are cute - I suppose sheep are just the same way.

 All clear on my 2-yr mammo, and the end of time seeing the BS.

Now I have some herniated muscle or something (big bulge on my left arm) and have to go see an ortho-surgeon. Yikes!

Lisa, love the pix! You must be on a train adventure.

Hi from St.Louis

Lost Creek, so glad you got a clear mammo. That must feel wonderful, but boo hoo about the arm.

Thanks for the encouragment.  I am in hot flash land tonight. So sweater on, sweater off exercises. It has been raining here lately, but I did get a walk in today. I could get a slip on shoe on my swollen foot and the dog and I were off chasing rain drops.

Lisa, we crossed posts. Are you coming all the way cross country? What a great time of year to be traveling.

Hi girls!!!

Leah I'm bouncing around the room with happiness for you........Yay!!!!!!!!!   That is indeed wonderful news!  Keep us up to date with all the goings on and good luck with the pre-op on Thursday!

Nancy there's no booting off here.....lol......we have all done some pretty silly things since being dx'd with BC.  I think it comes with the territory and the meds. 

Lovemygoats I love the little goats as well but unfortunately I live in town and can't by council bylaws house them within town limits.

LC I'm doing well so far with the knee, it's doing all the right things.  The only problem is still with INR and the coubadin levels.  I am due for another test tomorrow so here's hoping it will be within range and I won't have top fiddle with the dosage.  Thank goodness this only needs to go on for another week and a half as I am due to see the specialist for this on Thursday next week.

Lisa safe trip on your way home.  Keep posting your pics as I love seeing where you have been. 

Hoping eveyone else is doing well! 

Love n hugs.  Chrissy

Leah:  Glad your MRI turned out well!  All the best to you on upcoming surgery!

Chrissy:  Good for you as you continue to improve.  Good to have it behind you I know.

We're got one grand graduation down and one to go...yea!  We might not get to attend this upcoming one because all of a sudden all the relatives flew in from Equador for the event and there are only so many tickets to go around.  I have no problem bowing out to let them attend as they so rarely get to see their DGD and DD.  We will still see them all at the grad party on Saturday.

Hey Chrissy,

I am happy that your knee is doing well. Those pesky levels still giving you some trouble, eh? So after you see the specialist you won't need to take the med anymore?

Thanks for letting me know I won't be booted off. I am making fun of myself but I am also feeling like I am losing it. Just another reminder I am not ready to get back to work. It's the little things that I always took for granted, now I have to check myself. This morning I was making my son a sandwich to take to work and he had asked for chicken and half way through making the thing I look down and it is not chicken I'm putting on that bread. My brain just goes on mini vacations. I'm glad I got ya'll to ride through this with me.

3jays (((hugs for the weekend)))) Have fun with the new hairdos. Milk thistle, what is that? whatever it is I hope it helps your liver, too.

I started taking Biotin to help with my fingernails that are getting kinda funky. I wonder about all this stuff, what else is in it? I woke up with a charley horse in my leg this morning, woo hoo! that was painful. I was wide awake after that and that is why I was up making a sandwich.

love to all

Great shots Lisa! thanks for sharing.  We had a good view and DH took pix using doubled welding lenses, but our pix show green where yours shows orange.  What's up with that?

Hi y'all:

I went for my regular 4 month checkup with my RO today and I'm still dancing with NED!

I am so very blessed to have found this board.  Y'all continue to inspire me.

God bless y'all!

hey gals, some biatching is urder for me, so look down, if ya need to!!

  went to the dermo day bf yesterday.. the mohs is healing well, she tells me. then, i told her my liver enzymes are raised, can we still proceed as we planned.. she tells me its ok, but my rosacea is so uncontrolled, she 'd want to tx that asap..WTH!!!no one has said a WORD about it, as she's my dermatologist!!! i've got these oozing "pimples" all over my face.. (i thought moving the plants in the heat made sweat pimples" no, she says its a very serious case of rose..(sp) and i really should see the rhuemo and have him ck; it also prevents w/ the sjogens, which is probably bad, considering your choking.. ANOTHER dx noone has said a word about!!!

  so, being who I am, i looked sweetly at her, and said " GREAT..and how is YOUR life going!!!

  ok, done grousing, but really?? anyway, tonight was really a nice night. Mur guilted his mom in coming down here (passover wasn't good up there) and celebrate her 82nd bday..

  we gathered Jay #1, and his family, and murs sisters' visiting from philly.. off to Ale House, where i had surf and turf.. a treat for me, and bday brownies..

  i haven't seen the grands for weeks, and had a ball with Fish. i remembered what a good time he is with me..

  i've decided with all that goes on: this is the things i'm going to concentrate on.. whats really imp!!!

Love that wig 3jays!

I have just been on my UK Facebook, and had a rant about horses causing accidents on roads.

DD was busy posting that vehicles should give way for horses, so I let wang at her. I am SICK of horses riding up and down main roads, no wonder there are accidents. I get them coming onto MY farm roads, shouting...well F-ing and blinding at me...waving their arms and riding crops at me, to get to one side on MY road. Just had a 'do' with 2 young girls last night, their language was unprintable, all because they told me to 'shift out of their way' on one of MY roads, where they shouldn't even have been....I am still seething, so let DD have it on FB today!I shall be in hot water again !!

Isabella.
