INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Loveroflife

You are most welcome, Eeyore. I'm a fuddy duddy when it comes to computer/technology. It can get very frustrating for me too. At work, I always try to get the younger people to help me. Here on BCO, I go to Ms. Chevy for help.

Yes, I am almost 100% Asian. Ha!

Ok, time for a nap before picking up the kids from school. I don't have the same stamina as before

Chevyboy

Oh man, I am zonked! We had a glass of wine with lunch, and then walked back home in this HEAT, and it just knocks you out!

Yes Loverly! Just wait until you get older.... much older... And then you will know you don't have the stamina as when you were younger!

I am good to go in the mornings! I mean yard work, painting...cleaning, etc! But by afternoon, I am just dragging sometimes!

Just wait until you get to know Phyllidink! She will scare your pants off.... I hope she hasn't changed.... And the Mods didn't even shut us down when she was at her WORST! I mean, porn, cussing like a Sailor.... Wait..... She said she did the whole 6th fleet! I am like Mary Poppins compared to her.... Her stint in the big-house with big Alice only made her worse! But we love her..........

Mommy, If it's any comfort, my English teacher relatives say that the grade is directly related to the number of times it's revised. Just tell yourself it's getting better and better (which it probably is).

Phyl, So good to see you again!

queenmomcat

Bleep. Just found out I can't donate blood for YET ANOTHER year. (I'd gotten my gallon pin two weeks before recieving an allograft during back surgery.) Totally looking forward to starting that up again, to return to some sense of normalcy....

Hi Wren, Nice to see you too.

Chevy, (heavy sigh) You said " She said she did the whole 6th fleet!" I did NOT say that. I said I did the whole of 6th Street. That's in Austin. And the cops are only hanging at my house when the drummers are not. You know how they get.

Loveroflife

Queenie, you censor yourself. Me too, but in different way. "Fe Fi Fo Fum" or "fudge" when I accidentally kick something. If it really hurts, then "fricking, frapping, fuuudge". Got kicked out of bone marrow donor list. I can't get back on the list until I stay clean for 5 years.

Ms. Chevy, who is Alice? Drummers? Maybe I don't want to know. Ok, I am just going to stay in my hole.

queenmomcat

Well, I don't want to scare people! I'll call the Red Cross tomorrow, just to confirm yes/no, as there seems to be a loophole for in situ cancers. Which mine is, so far as the surgeon and oncologists are concerned. At least this fall I'm not dealing with Red Cross blood drive people sniveling in my ear every couple of weeks. Started doing it as Something Useful during a period of protracted unemployment.

Spookiesmom

Phyllo, Cami doesn't love us anymore!! She hasn't popped in for ages!!!!! Snif.

So happy you came back.

Loverly, looooong story.

Loveroflife

Ha! No worries.I didn't expect an answer. Need to go back and read that chapter when I have time.

Well I usually don't have this much of a problem writing an essay for a class, but this one is really driving me bats. Must have done about 9 revisions so far. Think I'll look at it in the morning and see if it needs to be revised again before I even attempt to finish it.

Wren44

Yes, look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow.

Hi ladies! Has anyone heard from Patty or Marly??

Foots, I am sorry that you are struggling with your breathing with the nasty air in Washington.

M0mmyof3

Did a little more on my essay last night. I am only 150 words away from the desired word count. Will finish today and most likely send it in no later than Friday

Morning Ladies Dear brother had his kidney sx yesterday. Pathologist couldn't identify tumor. Isn't that interesting. Sent it off to Univ. of Mich. which is a NCCN center. Doing well. His Anesthiologist blew him off about Toradol. He even blew off it's use as a low level pain reliever that he doesn't worry about with sx. Blowing off both tells me he doesn't keep up with current reading or old reading. The use re: interfering with cancer recurrence is new 5 years old and not mainstream yet. The use as an adjunct to opiods during surgery goes back to 1994. But they're were no complications.

Mommy good luck on your essay

Thanks Foots, praying for you too.

Marley hasn't come up for air in about a week. Neither has Patty.

Stopped tramadol awhile back. Bummer. The pain is a pain, dampens everything(understatement). I know ya'll get that. Off to work on Zometa

Waving Everyone !

Saw PCP yesterday. Her office had staffing issues that are making her crazy. I love this doc! She's straight with me, and I actually appreciate what some might find "inappropriate" being honest about her exasperation with what's going on outside the exam room. I was amused when I was talking to her nurse about how much I like her, the nurse said, "she's my doctor too." That says a lot to me.

Anyway, I had dug up the report on my 2011 MRI that showed all the spinal problems in my lumbar-sacral region, and she was very interested. I told her what my ortho doc said about the numbness in my thigh muscles being from the stenosis in L3, and how the 2011 MRI resulted in my getting an injection that alleviated that, so she is ordering another lumbar MRI in anticipation of doing that again.

She signed an application for handicap placard since I'm driving again. (Small issue with neuropathy in feet feeling the pedals but I'm managing so far.)

And she wrote me a script for pain meds to take as I feel I need them. She knows I understand the difference between dependence and addiction, but I just don't want to have to use them all the time since I normally cope pretty well and they just make me stoopid. But as y'all know, sometimes you just need something.

So, the office issues are why my neurologist referral didn't get made in a timely manner, but it is done and I also got the name & number of that office so I can follow up if I don't hear soon.

Doc says they're cracking down on her spending more than 15 minutes with a patient, but she still took all the time I needed.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Chevyboy

Mom2....! Let me and Phylloppian write that damn essay! We will have it done in no time.... except don't pay any attention to .... um........ it's like her first week out of the clink..... and she can't be trusted......

Wait......... You get drummers too? I thought it was only me......... My Brother is a drummer you know......... you want him too?

M0mmyof3

Well the essay got done and sent in. Now I can goof off the rest of the week!

magdalene51

This was my 2011 MRI report. I'm guessing it's worse now.

queenmomcat

Madgalene: My narrowing foraminal spaces send your narrowing foraminal spaces their deepest sympathies.

Spookiesmom

Mags, sounds like my most recent MRI. BRAVE lady doing the shot!!! I won't. I'm a wussie

Loveroflife

Oh no you don't want to write that essay Ms. Chevy!!! It is such a sick and dark story. It will turn the Mary Poppin in you to a Bloody Mary!! I would get nightmares too,Mommy.

Mag, it is a blessing to have a good relationship with your PCP. You can tell when a doctor is in medicine for the love of caring for the sick vs. money, status, or whatever. I really love and miss my surgeon. It's unfortunate that she is on leave indefinitely for a medical condition. She was going to do follow-up on me along with my MO. I realize that it is not part of her duties but she had my ( and I am sure her other patients' too) best interest at heart.

Ms. Sas, it is sad when a doctor dismisses your concern and request. No body knows everything.

My story: the other day a customer tried to be fresh with me and asked for a date. He wouldn't back off even after several attempts to tell him that I am married and that I can't do such a thing. I had to tell him that even though nobody has to know( his suggestion), I know and God knows. He finally gave ground. Another time I told a stranger that I am married after he asked for a date, he then had the nerve to ask me "Are you happily married?" What is wrong with people?? It was so uncomfortable to be in such situation. I guess telling people that you are married don't work anymore.

By the way, why can't it be from one of these guys?

JUST KIDDING!! JUST KIDDING!!

Loveroflife

Mag, just saw your 2011 MRI report. You too Ms. Spookie??Oh dear, that sounds very painful. So sorry

Spookiesmom

I don't do FB either.

Loverly, that was sexual harassment. Had similar happen at work from a co worker. Reported his sorry arse to HR. Did he ever get in trouble, I wasn't the only one. They can be such scum balls.
