Spookie, thanks I wondered about the plumeria. The lab Dini destroys everything outside. So, maybe sometime in the future. Good to know b/c they are just beautiful. It's not that dini is bad, but my son explains labs are very busy dogs. Dini is constanttly hunting lizards. Lizards hide in all the plantars . All the plantars have been turned over.  OH well.  Spookie does it grow in vines or bushes?

Mary, Hope you do okay on chemo. Sorry. Hope the ENT doc can figuire out the dizziness. At least you will be out on your porch Is it done?

Blondie, your welcome. Hope something helped. Had had a few patients with environmental problems when I was in homecare, my mom with the a chemical sucked into concentrator, and DDBF with a few mold stories. All were respiratory problems that ended up helping the docs. Except moms, we had the company exchange out all the tubing and the machine. Hope your feeling better. I know it's really tough to think of not working, sorry.

Lessa, wessa, messa, tessa, bessa still all rhymes with lezza kinda. HI Lezza

Chickie sorry about the 2 more rounds.

Cool compresses around neck, cool water run over your wrists and a battery operated fan carry with you.

ChickaD

Blondie, I don't know what you do for Macy's, but the office manager at the senior center worked part time and had an oxygen concentrater in a shoulder bag. Very sharp lady; dressed like she had a job downtown.

Cami, I had an epi for my abdominal hysterectomy (they thought it was ovarian cancer). I can remember being glad the nurses were hefty men and I didn't have to worry about being dropped.

camillegal

Wren every time I've been on the operating table I'm always yelling why is this thing so small I'm going to fall off--I mean it--I hate those tables they could make them 2 inches on each side bigger so it's more cofortable oh and I also yell Ididn't see anyone wash their hands and put the gloves on correctly and don't open that door once u open me. --I get so goofy..

Wren44

Cami, I know what you mean. How do they operate on large people? I've seen men who would need 2 under them. I love the goofyness; they need to hear all that. The most serious handwashing was at the premature baby nursery. They had sponges with brushes on one side and already loaded with strong soap.

camillegal

Wren we know when they are operating on adults they're not even talking about u or what they're doing, I mean i realize they've done it before but I know they're goofing around, then when we wake up theyre all serious again, and of course i told my srgeon that so it was like please don't act interested now. He always looked guilty.

StaceyLeeH

Geeze I have been so busy sorry for not checking in earlier... I would try and catch up reading and not get a chance to post. Then I would find myself in the same position the next day. Between the DR TML, work, DH, and Austin I have been hopping on one leg.



Veggy how are you doing? Sorry about having to go through this. What did your serial troponin show any cardiolyte studies? Any hx of vascular spasms? Sending hugs.



ChickaD huh sorry about adding the chemo. But I know you can do it!!! You are amazing!!! Cooper is so cute that nurse did not make a very good decision. Maybe speak with your onc or the facilities clinical manager so they can set her straight. I have my radiation mapping tomorrow.



Sending happy dance for every one with good test results

Still trying to catch up. Sending hugs, kisses, and belly laughs to everyone that needs it. Again I can't thank you all enough for your friendship you all are an inspiration.

OK I'm playing the Devil's advocate here---I bet the nurse that told u about u'r furbaby drew the short straw, cuz they felt someone had to say this because of our pets going outside might bring a tick or something to an area where they try their hardest not to even let kids in--not because they a PITA , but they are exposed to so many germs and so are our furbabies when the pee and poop where they want, and maybe someone might have complained--not everyone loves our babies like we do. So they might have picked the one that;s the biggest bitch anyway and had her tell u. I'm not saying I agree cuz I could care less if I was there--but their responsibility is to keep it as germ free as possible even with a service dog--u'd have to get chemo in another area. It's there rules not the rules of the government, and when u leave they even tell u don't go to stores or crowds or places and if u do it's on u not them. OK I just stated the other side altho I think it's stupid cuz as soon as u leave u do what u want those first couple of days cuz u'r on a roid high so what difference does it make. Besides I just took a pain med so u know I'm goin good here.

Morning gals!  I'm so sorry little miss Cammi!  DAMN!   I've been searching all over for what Sass had posted about Anesthesia, and I can't find it yet.   But later on when I come back, I'll try again.

Did you have that "twilight sleep" before?  Like what Michael Jackson had, or when they do colonoscopies?  Can you have that type?

Okay I have to run... morning all my hooligans! xoxoxoxoxo

camillegal

Chevy I never had twilite--I had colonoscopies with nothing--so I never had that and thanks for mentioning MJ who DIED from it.

ChickaD

Thanks Miss Cam for posting the "other side" of Cooper thinking...I guess I was aware of what other patients might think...but even the people in my pod were booing the nurse....the nurse did call me and apologize that she had the wrong info on service dogs.  Oh well...it is what it is.

Decent morning after chemo...why...NO NEULASTA SHOT...YAY.....Onc cancelled it because of my extreme reaction to it...so lets pray my blood cells rejuvenate on their own!

Good to see you Miss SweetAsPea...good luck with mapping.....would love to hear about it when done!

During my BMX the docs and nurses (all women except my PS) were discussing if my eyelashes were real or not...there crazy naturally long....ha

camillegal

Oh Chick I'm so glad she apologized and made things right--like I said I didn't agree I was giving the other side,--I tend to do that sometimes. And u still have u'r lashes oh wonderful expecilly when they are long--but u look beautifful to me anyway so....OK 2 more than u'r done????

ChickaD

Yep 2 more then on to RADS......

camillegal

Oh Chickie u were so excited but OK 2 more than done. that's it.

sas - plumerias grow on trees (or really big bushes)

luvmygoats

Sassy - they are the most divine smelling flowers and beautiful. I have some plumeria perfume but does not do justice to the flower. Almost () makes this brown thumb gardener want to try some indoors.

gardengumby

luvmygoats - I tried planting one indoors once, but couldn't make it grow.  It was a weird way to plant something, I thought.  You were supposed to just stick a branch in some soil.  I probably did something wrong in my effort to make it happen....  I've promised myself that if I ever do live in the tropics, I'll have a plumeria tree.   Even if only in a pot on a lanai...

luvmygoats

I lived in Hawaii 1.5 years as a grade schooler (early 1960s). Love them.

gardengumby

luvmygoats - Our son and his family live there, so we vacation there quite often.  We're trying to decide if we want to live there fulltime - so we'll see what happens down the road.  I see you take femara - how's it treating you?

Chevyboy

No Cammi.... maybe I said that wrong.... but when I had the CA surgery, the anesthesiologist said he would "add" that same drug, so I wouldn't be sick when I woke up.  And it was like the same thing I had with the colonoscopy....  I just went to sleep without even knowing, and woke up, and was ready to go home...... Well other than peeing blue and getting scared to death! 

Okay.... gotta run!  xoxooxoxoxox

Chevy, I know you copy some things, that's why I said you may be able to find the anesthesia info.. see cami just below:)

Cami I wrote a whole thing on how to accomplish an anesthesia consult which would evaluate your unique situation. It was around the time you were considering getting your hernia done. If you can put that in a time frame, we might be able to retrieve it from the thread. So, many pages pass so quickly.

Gumby, littlegoats, and spookie-- A plant that you just stick in dirt and IGNORE, and it grows. I might be able to do that LOL.  Does it come in any other colors. Should I buy it from a nursery or lowes/home depot? What other plants do well with it? Zone 9

We now know we have 4 gardners--Chevy, LMG, Gumby, and Spookie YAY for gardening.

Six nurses, stacey, me , Shells, Julianna, LMG, and beatmom

How many teachers? Dwilli, Wren? I know there are afew more.

Veggy hope your feeling better. Did you find Jeff Dunham? He's one of the highest paid comedy guys in the country for the last several years. He's a ventriloquist. His characters are a hoot. Like I said I love Achmed the dead terrorist, Peanut the Woosil, And Walter an old fart. I'm not fond of Melvin or Bubba J, but they appeal to the redneck crowd. It takes all kinds. I very often watch a couple of the skits at bedtime. The youtube access is better from google then Bing.

Phyillyonchemoplus2, call when your up, I don't want to interuppt a nap.

Stacey and chickie and Mary and shells HUGS. Hello Lezza-wezza

Blondie call when your up too. I'll take a chance your up . I think your still flying on roids.

Spookiesmom

Mine doesn't look as bushy as that pic. But that's how it's done, break a piece off and stick it in ground. I'm a bit southwest of you, Tampa area. Should grow where you are. I guess the big box stores have it, ours was given to us.



Oh the lizzards. All my dogs here chase them. We took one dog back north, she could NOT understand why there weren't any lizzards in those yards. Most puzzled look on her little face.

Okay can't stand not telling the environmental stories. I won't do them all at once. Went to a patients home, as soon as the daughter opened the door I could smell mold. I'm very sensitive to it and could sell my services like a dog sniffing dog. We had a pleasant introduction and admission of her mom to homecare. I told her though someone else would have to be assigned b/c of the mold. She was very health conscious and concerned. By my next visit, she had the basement and furnace inspected. She had mold on the basement walls which was being remediated. The furnace had a carbon monoxide leak which the furnace guy said could have been going on for months. Sandy had been working with her doc to try and determine what was causing her headaches and respiratory problems for months. All the tests we talk about. Everything negative. The mold was remediated and a new furnace with carbon monoxide detectors were put in. All the complaints Sandy had went away. She was happy, her doc was happy, and I was happy. Her mom had alzhiemers so we couldn't tell if she had any changes except that she didn't sleep as much(carbon monoxide?)
