STFU (Shut the F*** UP)

I mentioned it and I only say that sas, because I couldn't for the life of me remember how it was spelled.  Yay for you......I loved it too....wild color and burned like fire when we were little but you felt safe and were.  I took care of a person for a while that still used it for every little scratch.  The daughter used to say to me.....but that little wand ( used to drag across the would after being dipped in the bottle ) is now contaminated and goes back in the bottle.............and I would say, yes but its ok.  It is can "heal" whatever you drug it across.....it will take care of whatever little remnants get put in a whole bottle of the stuff.  I still chuckle.

Ah Geez Sass!  You must not have ever gone out with an Italian!  I mean their ego is so big that they think they just have to LOOK at a girl, and she will drop at his feet.  So picture this..... he snaps his fingers.....  and points.... YOU know where..... THAT is Italian foreplay.  Kind of loses something when I have to draw a picture....Ha, ha!    It's just a joke!  well, it used to be anyway....

Lilli..... yes, that's the story..... but it's just men in general I think....

Cammi!  That was classic!  What you said to your Doc!  Ha, ha!  I remember that, when they did that right in the nipple.... with that nuclear dye!  No mercy!   Now THAT was a bitch!

Don't remember mercurecrome (sp) burning...but iodine was a bitch....that and peroxide..



.Working in Pharma use to piss me off when they would spend millions on the research of a "me too drug"....,,,,,,it is done all the time.....



Know from past experience in the industry...new drugs are still full of "bugs" that did not occur in trials......that is why patients and Dr's should always report SE not on the insert ( which 90% of drs and patients do not read) should be reported......l always opt for the older tried and true drug...

Ducky when I see all these new drugs even on TV comm. and the side effects--)even death may occur)m personally I don;t think enough people have really been on some of these, yes the FDA passed them cuz they met a quota but at what risk to so many, I don't know--to many drugs--Oh and I don't remember murcurachrome (sp) hurting at all or peroxide, I do remember Iodine stinging a little--I think Iodine was a little stronger tho.I used to love peroxide cuz it would bubble right on the sore. hahaha I was amused so easily.

Chevy u'r right once explained it looses some of the value of the statement, LOL

OK now I opened an account up for Twitter cuz people talk about it all the time--so I have one, now I have no idea what to do with it or how or why to use it. So I'm sure I'll just ignore it.

Mary, are you sure we are talking apples to apples. In Hospice the term palliative care was used to describe care for decades. But the terms usage in regard to a Palliative Care Speciallist is different.  Reread my post where it said the concepts of Hospice were seen to be able to be applied to patients with long term chronic illnesses. More specifically long term chronic illnesses that are predictably terminal. WEll, we are all terminal. The difference with a standard Pain Management Specialist is that they don't THINK in terms of eventual mortality. They just think pain. Few if any look at the rest of the patient.

THE PCS thinks in term of how to best manage the total patient with a long term chronic illness. They are well schooled in all the drugs. They also look at other quality of life issues. Your specific question though deals with pain control. I think and I could be wrong, if you were to see a PCS, a full evaluation of where you are now in your life, would lead to other drug choices and perhaps suggestions on quality of life issues, you hadn't even considered.

The extension of this is that over time as your needs change, you have a very specifically trained specialist to help you alter your plan. That would give me a definite degree of comfort. Losely similar to my wish that I want my Saint Primary Care Doc to never retire before my need of her is over i.e. she can't retire till i'm dead. LOL

Had a PM from Sweet Pea.  I said I would post to you all if she didn't. She's just trying to keep up with everything and hasn't had time to post. She's doing okay with RADS. Misses you all and she will post when she can:)

OH forgot---Stacey said her BIRTHDAY was yesterday.. SO you folks that can do magic with pics. We have a birthday girl.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STACEY !

Mary found this web site re:Palliative docs. It describes in detail what I was trying to communicate. It does a better job. It's important to start at the homepage which the link is too, and absorb the info. keeping in mind palliative is now used in different ways.

Happy birthday Stacey.....Hope it was a wonderful one with a lifetime more on the way.

Love, Lilli

Oh Jackie what a beautiful cake--I want that cake. Yummy.

It's not my birthday, can I have that cake pleeeeeezzzzzzeeee?🎈

Sassy - I agree with all you have said to Mary. I didn't find much on the AAMPH site. I checked the DO site because our med. directors were DOs. Wow our main doc was only cert. in Internal Med. The other link listed on the AAMPH site goes to the American Board of Medical Spec (ABMS) which does request you register which I did not chose to do. Not sure where I'm leading but unless Mary registers on the ABMS site and gets results the only doc listing was for DOs (not saying anything against them just limited info available it seems). Best bet would be recommendation from personal physician. Can google palliative care doctor charlotte and get hits. Might be a good place to start reading if not necessarily referral to. Like I say "ducks in a row".

I did get some hits when I googled Ft Worth Tx find palliative care doctors and kinda ones I expected.

OHHHH yes, cake. I'm drooling. Drinking my green tea with raspberry syrup. Have had a fig, 2 slices Swiss cheese and about 8 wheat crackers since I came in from church.

On another note, we got the toilets bought yesterday and arranged for installation. BUT this morning the hot water quit just as I finished my shower. Checked all electricals and not that. Must be kaput. DH called back to Lowes and bought hot water heater and it will be installed hopefully Tues.

I was asking about the cranberry juice for a goat that sadly did not make it. She was 10. It has been a hard year on them and us. No more baby goats. I need to sell Mr. Bucky boy. Not that he isn't happy here but he is very fertile and worth something if I can find him a good home.

Sassy - enjoying Victor/Victoria on Sundance channel. I watched Sleepless in Seattle for the about 100th time last night.

Flowers,

How are you doing?  Recovery going okay?

I, too, would like a big slice of that yummy cake! Wish I could have you all over for tea.
