    Yay for drinking

    Chevy you turtlehead, do you not read all the f***king research I do. Wren asked that question about NSAIDS and I had all that stuff there BUT NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo. You have to go find some other flibitygibber. Must admit I didn't have the 2013 study. Thought it odd the government didn't do anything after 2007, figured they were due. Thought maybe just cuz nothing really new had come along.      Thanks for the owls :) Maybe I'll work up the energy to try and get them back on there roosts.

    Jazzy, coffees in the Xanthine family, same as Theophylline. All the s.e.'s that theophyllin has  you can have with coffee. If on Theo should reduce coffee for that reason. Albuterol is a beta 2--lovely drug --changed history dramatically

    Smarrty Lot's of Happy's today. Little umbrellas and lot's of cake HMMMMMMMM.

    My endocrine doc's ma called with a cortisol and ACTH results. Had to be honest and ask would having coffee, sex, and a cigarette before the test affect it. What can I say there were no restrictions ---I asked, not specifically about sex that kind of popped up unexpectedly.  I didn't think about till afterrrrrr. Cortisol's a stress hormone. Poor Dr Go is so serious.

    Chevy my family lives in Venezuela and the country is in terrible shape, there is not even basic things in the stores, that is one of my worries yesterday and today my brother have been driving my sis to 6 different clinics and exray places but not even that is possible, they need a bone scan and its not available you can google the situation there and you ll know why my mind is going nuts. My country is becoming like cuba and my sister along with thousands of other patients are in big trouble been there. i am lucky i left the country when i was 19. Unfortunately i cant sponsor siblings only parents which i did but it took almost 10 years for mom s papers to come, as soon as i got those papers i took her and it was kind of too late she only got to enjoy a good year here and then bc hit me and she past. I am sorry i am feeling so down i cant even do much financially, and even though my sis does not need  money due to having very good insurance the medical system is chaos in my country. I feel like crap I dont know what is going to happen. i feel so helpless

    Oh no Sas, if you are referring to my sister, there is nothing i can do, I am not able to get her out of Vzla. She just has to have the surgery and we have to hope it goes well, as per mom nothing i could do in the past, immigration is what it is. I did eventually got her papers and she did live here with me till she past last July. I didnt mean to confused you. i only mentioned in case you or Chevy could wonder if i could bring my sister here. Its not possible. Anyway i ll keep u posted as per what happen next for her.

    Enerva- Venezuela is such a beautiful country, and I did not realize things were so bad there. I went on a trip there in the 1980's and was amazed by Caracas and other places we went. Not to mention I have never seen more beautiful people in one place in my life than there. 

    There are women on the threads from other countries where bc treatment seems like a very different story than in the US. Does anyone know if there are any threads around treatment outside the US? Sometimes the common wisdom of women around the world is a good place to start? 

    Or maybe start a thread one to tap into that wisdom?

    Oh Sass!  You are brilliant!  The ONE time, I try and act intelligent, you already HAD the information!  You rock girl!   Yes, I sometimes read what you write, if I have that certain affliction or problem....   AND you cooped up our OWLS!  You DID it!    Okay, now I'll have to calm down my pictures a tad.

    Enerva.... I am soooooooo sorry!  I didn't know about any situation in Venezuela!  I know I visited Puerto Vallarta one time, and we went 4 wheeling into some nearby little "towns"..... Man, those poor people!  They live in shacks, with just dirt floors.... and hang their clothes on the fence that they wash in the river!   I can't imagine living in those conditions....  and to not have proper medical care?   I just can't blame the people for trying to get out, and find a better way to live....  There are so many Mexican laborers here....  making a lot less wages, JUST to make any money!  I know it takes it away from the workers here, but they send it back to their families! 

    We are so fortunate in our countries here.... The US and Canada! 

    I'm just sorry Enerva....  we're all trying to help you.....  xoxoxoxoxo

    Smaarty, Happy Birthday! Hope the unveiling is happy.

    Enerva, I think spelling Mississauga might be a test for foreign spies. Wishing your sister a successful operation. We have little idea how lucky we are here with good medical care available.

    SAS, Congrats on getting the owls less intimidating.

    Yep deb & maddy,  the days before albuterol were scary. Theophyllin IV just didn't control an asthma attack. When Albuterol nebulizer came in, the whole world of respiratory care and emergencies changed. In fact, I can't even remember seeing theo IV  used for several decades__?????____

    Morning all.

    Gee Sas, I am so pleased those Owls have gone back to normal size, last night they took over the screen.

    Never heard of no alcohol during treatment, told I could have a drink if I wanted it but I didn't during chemo but know I had the occasional during rads.

    Happy birthday Smarty

    Hope all of you in snow country are keeping warm

    Enerva sending big hugs and do hope I can meet you when I am in Oakville in June.

    hugs

    Oh i love you guys, and trust me we are very fortunate here, Yes my country is a beautiful place but as usual in the wrong hands any country goes ugly. I worked very hard here and i went hone every year full things like Santa and yes it is a very hard thing to do to go away from your family but i always thought it could get better one day, it never did one bad president after another. I became citizen in 1998. I feel sad to see my home this way now and wish i could pull my family out but its not so simple. Anyway yes i ll keep you all posted. Thank you again for always listening when i vent, or when i am down. You guys are the best.

    Ugh - bad night... REALLY bad night. Had a few flurries of dizziness the past few weeks but they were transient and went away.

    But last night they hit with a vengeance - couldn't even stand up straight.

    Took Valium (a pretty reliable vestibular suppressant) and meclizine (anti-motion sickness drug) and at least I didn't get sick.

    Today it's better but still having trouble walking, so am staying put in bed.

    I hate this - it's such a helpless feeling. It would be a lot scarier if I hadn't been plagued with it ten years ago. I know I have at least four separate vestibular issues, but DANG! It was so nice to be in remission from them for so long! Wish I knew what the trigger was....

    Hope everyone in the nest has a good day!

    xoxo

    Yay - Owlettes in their proper sizes.

    Enerva - Hugs for you and your sister. Hoping she and your brother in law get some answers soon.

    I must have been tired. It snowed some overnight and I slept in in the warm bed. Makes for a short day but hopefully DH and I will get something accomplished in the house this afternoon.

    DOG LOVERS - Don't forget the dog show finals on USA tonight.

    MMM - 2nd time - Mexican hot chocolate. Do you use anything special. I think somewhere I have some Ibarra's buried - like I said I collect hot chocolate. I'm with you on cleaning the kitchen. Whatever I make has to make at least 2 meals pref. 2 meals and 2 smaller lunches. But with just us 2 that's easier.

    MNDeb - Don't feel bad. I'd never heard of chocolate coke either till I came here. Lime Dr. Pepper sure - love it. Cherry coke not so much. Didn't know you could get choc coke at Sonic. Will have to try there. We have one in town woohoo.

    Happy birthday Smaarty. How's the unveiling coming?

    Blessings - ?stress related. Hope your swimmy feeling is improving.

    We managed to get place for chest cleaned out and it's in place sort of. I need a flat back extension cord - guess I coulda checked our local building supply but didn't. Our little town is getting an Ace hardware. The building supply is a regular lumber yard too as well as a small showroom for builders. Hope they can co-exist.

    The big thaw is under way. We may see a bit of sun and glorious one weather outlet is predicting 80 for Sunday. That prob. means spring thunderstorms are next. We never got the bigger snow/freezing rain. Don't know whether Tang got much.

    Can you tell I've been composing for a while?

    Okay Enerva.....  Don't go gettin' depressed!  Sassy will come up with all kinds of things you should do.... But me?  I say just go fix yourself a chocolate coke!  You know, chocolate is good for you!     And think about reading something....  Some good in-expensive book....  Or crochet!  If I crochet, I'm not thinking about sad things....   I've been just lost today thinking about Lacee....  Sometimes I'm alright, but today I'm just lonely without her....  

    If YOU feel better, then I will too!  Deal?

    Yes Enerva!  Go to Walmart.... get some of that "scarf" yarn/thread.... It's about $4.50, and enough to make one darling scarf!  There is a video online, on how to DO it!   I am addicted to making those scarves!

    Congratulations Smarty!  Yay!!!!!!!!!!! xoxoxo
