Gonna crawl into my warm pjs and stay warm. This happens every friggin year when it starts to turn colder. Planning on getting the flu shot this fall like I have done in the last couple of years.

Kathy, I forgot Kathy. Hi Kathy, Sorry

Loveroflife

So sorry Ms. Sas that you are still in pain. Thought you were better when I saw u posting on W&F. I know there is no conclusive studies on Vit D linking to kidney stones, but I do think daily high doses of Vit D can cause kidney stones. If you think about how kidney stones are formed and the relationship between calcium and Vit D, when the balance is thrown off the body will try to compensate.

Patty - Hootie Hoo back atcha. Hope you get your patootie outta that hospital soonest. (((HUGS))) sweet sister. So very glad you checked in but so very sorry for your setbacks.

Mags - WallyWorld has cheapie hold 'em in underwear. They are nylon so I don't wear them for everyday stuff, like my cotton undies. Dreading the real fall when I have to start wearing tights/hose to church. Have gone bare legged most of the summer even with my ugly as dirt legs, not to mention the extra padding they have lol.

DH looks like he has a plum in his lower jaw but feels pretty good. No pain meds. Taking his antibiotic and prednisone - yes that's weird but I found many other endo's on the net who use it for short term decreasing dose - for inflammation. Eating most everything I offer but nothing crispy, nutty, really chewy. BTW that Halcion worked great. I was sitting beside him, 20 min after they gave it I realized he had not turned the page reading the same 1/2 magazine page over and over. But he walked out and walked in the house OK. I was kinda dreading the afternoon but it was OK. We had Chick Fil A milkshakes just after leaving so I could get him some ice. "Didn't they tell you to bring a cooler?" Nope and I have a doozy of one that campers use to keep stuff frozen. She did supply me with some baggies for ice. And her little icebag I swear it was the same kind I had for my biopsy. He still has a bit of a hangover but there's nothing to do but couch surf anyway. And of course it is a beautiful almost fall like day.

Sorry Mommy you're feeling under the weather but your weather sounds like a good time to stay in.

Sassy - I hope your afternoon has gone better than it started out.

M0mmyof3

Yep. Just took a nice hot shower and I'm all snuggly warm in my pjs. Gonna make a cup of hot tea with honey a little later. Hubby said lots of people he knows at work are starting to feel the same way I am.

Momma ray, where are you. Hope treatment is being nice to you.

susan3

Rosie, how is the Swelling

LOverly, If you could find any EBR on the D and stones. I couldn't. But it always amazes me what pops up when you least expect it. I was way below when the first 5 occurred. 1250/day with the first two. 2000/with the next 3. Mine are bladder stones/shards/crystals, not kidney. But I do believe the ca++ thing is a problem. I see the Endocrine doc next week. Will attempt to pick his brain again. I don't take any extra Ca++. But between the thyroid and parathyroids another story. The pain only occurs with urination. In between it's okay. But been flushing lot's. One of the 5 lasted 7 days. This time, I'm into day 4. Definitely slowed down.

Littlegoats, Hope DH can get that tooth finalized. It seems like it's been all summer long. Thanks, doing better Just took a swim. Pool is like a slightly warm bath. Delicious.

SusieQ, doing good. Better by the 1/4 day.

Spookiesmom

Sas not much battery, will try tomorrow.

Patti HOOOOOOOOO! Do whatever Sass and Chevy tell ya to do...you'll feel better. My DH asked me the heck is Sass the other day! Ha....gotta love it. Yes, I'm writing more. On here and journal wise. I think it's SE of my shrink's meds she has me on. Teaching me to sleep also so I'm missing too much. I just wish all, and I mean all, of you knew just how much you do for lurkers like me. See, got me to writing and everything.

sas-schatzi

Spookie, I'm having folks into dinner. Spur of the moment thing. Need to shop and cook. I'll give a call if I end up ready before I think I am. hmmm I'll call

sas-schatzi

Mema lol, and you are having fun, I can hear it in you're writing. What meds has she got you on? Teach us how to sleep....... this would be a legit place to talk about that for sure.

glennie19

Mema: You could give lessons to the rest of us on how to sleep. **raises hand**

Ok, Chevy, yes it's a corset. Just covers the torso, the uncontrollable Buddha belly.its not as hard as you might think to put it on. No way it pulls up over these hips. Easier to put it on lying down so the tummy flattens a bit.

I got it because I have a blouse I wanted to wear tonight. An old friend whom I've known a long time but haven't seen in years, lost her husband this week, and the visitation was tonight. Anyway, I've only worn the blouse once, I got it for the cruise that ended with my finding the lump. It has darts, so I wore my knitted knockers for the first time. That was strange. Never wore any foobs. Felt like they were climbing up to my face. Cousin and I went to dinner afterwards at our favorite Mexican restaurant.

It felt so good to get home and turn the belly loose.

PattyPeppermint

Mags - whew you can breathe now with that thing off. Looks painful. Crazy what we women will do to look good

SAS - stones gone ?

Mema - nice to "meet" you. Glad you are comfortable enough to post now to help other lurkers too.

Where is everyone at ? Oh yeah it's Friday night I bet y'all are with Chevy earning those dollars one dance at a time.

Chevy - curious mind wants to know. With all this technology do the ummm.. Dancers .. Take debit or credit cards now? Or just cash still ?

Sorry not to respond to many my head is swimming making everything blurry and my fingers are not cooperating. So hugs all around.

Hootie hoo

M0mmyof3

lol Patty @ Chevy, good one! I want to know too!!!!!!!!!!!

Still feeling a bit cruddy. Took Nyquil last night to help me combat this cold.

Ah Mags.... I know the feeling.... I feel like that when I take my bra off........

Peppermint! NO! I gave up dancing.... walking even, for that matter.... No, I still walk, but mostly around the shopping centers, or stores, but not up and down the alley or streets anymore..... but I'm holding that option open....

I'll bet "they" have to pay at the door/desk, before any services rendered? Just like at Disney World... Pay first, THEN enjoy the ride.... get it? Hah!

Man, it's COLD out this morning! Only 52 degrees out there...... If Spookie reads this, she will get a chill.

I was thinking...... I'm going to post some little something each day or so to my friend that has that AWFUL Aphasia.... Then her SON can show her his lap-top, with a message and picture from me, and read it to her! Because I don't think she could remember, unless she saw a picture, and him reading her a short message! I just think about her all the time.... I know she doesn't have "thoughts" during the day... and is only living in her "now".... but her fiance', her Son, and her XDIL keep her going........ Can you just imagine?

Hope you are feeling better Sass!

Spookiesmom

OMD I'm gonna freeze!! LOOK AT TONIGHTS TEMP!!!!! Chit!!! Break out blankets and pants.

I gotta go where it's warm. 🌴🎶🎶.

susan3

come visit me spooks...it's nice and warm in chicago

Spookiesmom

Um, I was thinking of somewhere farther south. Like the equator.

PattyPeppermint

Susan - so your ftom Chicago ? I was born and raised in Champaign IL. Nearly neighbors. Lol

Mom2 - hope you are feeling better. I love that NyQuil commercial where it says "sleep like before you had kids ".

SAS - feeling better? Stone free I hope. Oops I meant free of kidney stones.

Smarty - big wave !

Spookie - too funny indeed. Quite a fashion state. So when it's blanket pants time is it still socks and flip flop time ?

Chevy - great idea about a post and pic for your friends family to read to her. I are an awesome friend to many it seems.

Was hoping so hard to go home today but dr wants to wait Til tomorrow. Then I can get some more iv antibiotics and see if the vomiting can be controlled without iv med. As much as I want to be home I must say the dr is right. Certainly don't want another return visit.

Hootie hoo

Spookiesmom

not quit Patty. This is GS#2 last winter. A true Floridian. Note the feet.

Luv my goats, They gave me halcion for cataract surgery. Not enough to knock me out, but my short term memory was almost non-existent all day. Took 2 naps and still slept at night. I'm on prednisone for the eye as well. It helps keep down swelling.

magdalene51

Hootie hoo Patty! Glad you got your chatty back on, can you tell you've been missed? Your question about the dancers taking credit and debit cards got me thinking...

1) They already have the slot to swipe

2) Debit only; you sure wouldn't want to use the card again...

Chevy, I had to steal the cat pic from Patty's thread and send to DH. When he got home at midnight last night after being gone for a week, the dogs went crazy, and the cat (which is his, and adores him) sat on her blankie cleaning her paws.

Chevyboy

Yes....flip-flops and a parka! Only in Florida.........

I remember my Brother would come visit us here, and wear those long shorts EVERYwhere.... Had to change when we took him up to Mt. Evans, and it was snowing.... I laughed my butt off! He was sick from the altitude, and trying to wrestle on big-boy pants over his shorts....in the back seat. Haven't seen him since.

magdalene51

Oh, and he gets up this morning to a text message that the whole dang network at his company is down. Nobody else can fix it, apparently. Thousands of employees, dozens of IT people and it has to be the guy that just got back at midnight?

In case you missed Chevy's cat pic, I'll repost it here.

DH sent me back a smiley face from his apple watch. He's in the next room, in his office, but we still text each other. Been that way since we first got texting.
