Cami - in your pocket tomorrow.

Di - how you feeling?

I thought I had seen a date for Blondie's biopsy but could not find it.

I thought I had seen a date too, just couldn't remember what it was.

Di, hope you are still feeling good. We know you are looking good!

Ladies, feeling pretty good...continue to get my beauty sleep.....saw the PS today and I am doing good.....took the football helmet sized bandage off and now can hear a bit....there was so much padding around my ears....it was difficult to hear before the helmet was removed.....my jowls are now by the sides of my mouth ....as PS said that the purple ink on my face was the marking of my jowls.....very pleased that the gobbler is gone....didn't knowI I was going to have a bit of lipo on neck and jowls. I was told they thought I had a hot flash during surgery, as I was trying to move my arms and kicking of the warmer blanket, so they lightened anesthesia (IV) and ask me what was wrong and I said I was hot (I was probably trying. to rip off my clothes too but my hands were strapped download.....put me deeper into anesthesia and changed to a cool blower on me.I also remember when my doc had me sit up(during surgery) and make a grimace and a smile....he was checking if facial nerves were working.

Doing ok but I seemed to have puffed up this afternoon...as PS said I would.

CAMMI......I will be in your pocket....what is happening??? I must have been sleeping.....

just call me marshmellow face,

Di

Di, When DH had bypass surgery he wanted the little notebook he always carried around. He was still on the ventilator and couldn't talk. Next morning I went in and he had written 'hot' over and over all night long. I believe it. He'll have on short sleeves and I'm wearing fleece.

Cammi, are you alright? Is everything over by now? I mean even the Chickens were asking about you.....

They are probably freezing their little butts off right now, because it is snowing and only 22 degrees out!

I'm just hoping that "they" can help re-arrange all your innards, and get them separated, so they don't hurt anymore....

WAIT? Is it your gizzard they are having so much trouble with? That thing is pretty sturdy, if it's the one I think it is....

And little Marshmallow face! I'll bet you're glad it's over!!!!!!!!! Do you, or will you have pics of before and after? So us gals can be jealous of you? I'm glad you are doing better!

32 degrees outside and dropping... got the sunroom (now cold room) up to 60 anyway - wish I drank hot drinks - I always seem to burn my tongue.

ChickaD

Freezing here in Ohio...maybe I'll look skinnier as my cells shrink instead of expand in the heat....lol

Had my 1st cup and will get 2nd shortly. We may have sleet/freezing rain in North Texas this weekend. Freaky for us. AND we had a 3.5 earthquake Tuesday evening. Like I said for you So. Ca. ladies that's nothing but it was a nice jolt for us. DH said sonic boom but I said earthquake. Now mind you that is about the 10th we've had this month and the biggest so I had good reason to say that. He grew up outside of LA so he poo-pooed it. We are on the upper end of the Balcones fault that runs down thru Austin.

Quatre - love the coffee graphic. I don't know some of those authors but do remember having to read Kafka. LOL. In Texas speak Gregor Samsa woke up and found out he had been transformed into a beetle.

Teka

ChickaD, if I remember correctly, you're going to Florida for X-mas!

This is my view this cold cold morning - down to 31 degrees when I took this.

GMA, another ahhh moment. Thank you for your photo.

Morning.

Lets see if this works today. Yesterday I wrote a long post and it vanished into cyber space.

Weather wise it is a beautiful day here and finally feel that cardigans can stay in the drawer. Think I might even bring out the white jeans today - it must be summer.

GMA that is so beautiful.

I have just had coffee and will have another - cafe coffee this time when I go up the road later. I do love my espresso machine which my DD2 gave me.

I wrote about health care yesterday and my bemusement of the US system. Having grown up with a state funded system it seems very strange to me. In the past month I have had a CT scan, a dexa bone scan and a follow up hospital appointment as well as visiting my GP and getting my prescription for my drugs and what did it cost. About $50 US for the docs visit. My drugs could start a small chemist shop I kid you not. It of course is not free because we pay through taxes. I have to have another scan because the nodules on my thyroid have grown and will decide after that whether to go private as we do have insurance but if it is something nasty the hospital are meant to treat me within a month. We have private insurance for non urgent medical things as this is a small country many elective things do take for ages to happen. And the private hospitals are really like hotels but if something goes wrong you get transfered back to public because they do not have IC units..

I know my cousin in PA pays a huge amount for insurance and has I think $5000 excess. Luckily my aunt has full health care as she worked for the Federal Gov.

Enough I must get moving as there is a big sale at our last old style department store in the city. I just love going into the shop as it will be beautifully decorated, we saw them unveiling their Christmas windows last week and they are just magic.

I do hope everyone is fine

Big hugs

I so wish I could do the side by side typing next to post that Chevy describes. I read think I'm going to remember and it's gone.

Jackie sorry it made you so sad for so many years about your parents not eating what you ate. Can't do a do over. But your parents loved you soooo much that for them it wasn't a sacrifice, they just wanted the best for their baby. I know you totally understand on an intellectual level, it's the emotional one that hurts. I love the verses that you find. They are so warming to the soul............... Jackie did you have any residual problems from the Rheumatic fever?

I guess each of us here  have had so many different trials growing up, that we are 'Paying it Forward" with each other and others.

So you were a nurse too? I think that makes 7 here then. Julianna, Shells, Littlegoats, me, Beatmom, Sweet Pea. Did I miss anyone?

I loved working the well baby nursery as a student and postpartum. It was a wonderfully happy time. But just as Ducky described about dear little Grayson, when things were bad the were horrible.

Ducky great to hear that Grayson is up. 4 is so right about little ones. The strides they make can be so major. Your little Grayson will be so special her whole life. This will be such a special Christmas for you all. Congratulations.

Flatsy, This suggestion might be difficult to do, maybe others can suggest the "how it could be analyzed". Hope I can make it clear. Known fact: There are cancer specific drugs. Question: If your insurance carrier is not covering a cancer specific drug that is  predominantly a female cancer, but covers a drug that IS predominantly a male, can this be shown to be discriminatory? If the insurance carrier covers the drugs, are they covered in the same proportion. There are drugs that are specific to the prostate, how do they compare to the BC drug coverage? I'm sure that this is on the internet somewhere. To search it I'd need the right keywords or phrase. I'm not coming up with the words right now. Could be the oxy interfering.

The Obama fiasco on healthcare will not go well in histories evaluation of his presidency. The congress has already passed legislation that allows employers another year to comply with the law. Which means that the monetary penalties for an employer are delayed for a year.

Everyone's aware of the fiasco for the worker/ consumer even trying to get registered, let alone find a plan. The promise that it was going to be cheaper has been shown to be false. Legislation is being proposed to allow workers/consumers another year to comply with the law, but it's not on the agenda yet. Employers are canceling insurances, downgrading employment status from full time to part time so they aren't required to pay insurance for an employee. So, unless congress acts like super quick, the worker consumer is not only going to have astronomical costs for healthcare. If they don't sign up b/c it will bankrupt them, they/we are going to face  tax penalties. The whole thing is absurd.

I've listened to Hannity. He can be strident in many ways, but at least he's trying to get the word out about some of the absurdities.

Besides the above, one is that the $650 million contract for setting up the computer system was given to a Canadian company. The Canadian company has a hx of screwing up something similar--sorry forget those details. Those details are actually very important b/c it showed that the company wasn't up to the task of creating a workable registration and insurance package system. BUT this company gave to Obamas re-election campaign.  Not like we have companies like Microsoft and Apple etc. right here in the USA.

If anyone here can suggest a source for info on this mess that is supplying good info, please, lets us know who you thinks doing a good job. Analogy I suppose would be like Watergate, It was the Washington post that wrote all the best intell.

Who is tracking this mess the best.
