    I see a few of you are awake out there. Thanks Blessings for the great suggestion to try Thermacare back wraps. I need to pick up Arimidex at Walgreens so I will look for these wraps.

     Have you gals seen this?  It is soooo sweet! 

    So we have a "waterbabytish"?????  Now THAT is cute!  Yes, I'm HERE!  Wait, I have to go see just how dark it really IS, little missy...  Dang!  It IS darker than it was 500 years ago....  That LAST time, was not THIS dark.... Ha!   

    And "Mercedes" is having pain!  Holy  Aspirin  Batman!  Isn't there something we can do for her? 

    Anyone else awake?  Guess I'll post this, and rattle your cages, and look back here in a minute!

    Morning 2ndTime, and HoleinOne!  See, I'm reading back... I mean up, and typing as I go...  Yes 2nd...  I like Pinterest also!  I have saved so many pictures/photos for my desk-top!

    I wanted to use that old wooden Pallet I saw up the alley, for some sort of Planter.... But it was GONE!!!!!  Been there for weeks, but when someone like ME WANTED it, "they" took it!  Lots of ideas on Pinterest. 

    2nd, YOU ramble.... Oh honey, nothing like ME....Ha!  We don't mind. (Now Cammi is going to say something about me even HAVING a mind.)

    OMG SASS!  WTH are you talking about?  I had to hold my hand over my eyes, thinking SHE said THAT?  I can't look.... You injected his WHAT????  Good Lord, what is she talking about?    Eeeeeks!

    Maybe it doesn't work to read backwards here.... shut up Cammi.

    Morning Minerva...  Are you still up? 

    LittleHoles...  Yes... we are partying!  I am anyway.... me and this cup of coffee... and I'm alone.... sniff... YOU have a better week-end.

    Guess I'll just keep on movin' here, till someone joins in... dot,dot,dot!

    Smaarty, glad you gals are getting your fills straightened out.... I just can't imagine what you all have been through, and here I whine when I get a blister!  YOU are only 63.... and I was just too afraid to do anything more than a Lumpectomy at MY age....  You are very young!

    BLESSINGS~!  Your DH is a DRUMMER???  Oh Holy Sticks Bat-man! Show that guy  THIS...

    http://denver.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?publish_id=cd55b507-b3ef-1031-8121-35eaf3043912

    I wrote this Percussionist after I saw their performance the other night, and he sent me this link....  They are amazing!

    So it was YOU, little miss troublemaker that started the shot in the ba-doubleL thing?  Now I understand....  Cammi.... don't look....

    Teka, you are stressed!  Think about that poor fill-surgeon!   These guys are after him!

    Chabba.... Yes, so was the USPS!  Delivering in our neighborhood  from a U-Haul truck!

    NEXT year, maybe everyone can wait until Christmas Eve, before dropping off their boxes, and insist they get there on Christmas DAY!

    Hold on.... So 2nd is still freezing in her 85 degree weather!  Send her a Parka!   IT IS 30.4 HERE, AND that's not BAD...Ha!  .... Wait, no, we aren't a fast thread.... Cammi is fast, but that's another story.... Just stay here...   And sorry about your kitty....  We all love cats...and dogs..... 

    Morning Gramma!  Man, sounds like I'm talking to mySELF!  I love that name...Baby Boo...   I think all our pets on this thread are rescues...  Our Daughters rescued our little Sheltie from this pet-store... she was 3 months old, and the runt of her little,  She was too small as Shelties go, so people left her, to buy a more "traditional" looking one.  But they got her, and she is our other Daughter... almost 11 years old....

    Gramma, you are young....  Now listen to me!  Never say never....  !

    Who knows?  Maybe you will find a new and handsome man.... Or old and ugly.... we just don't know.  It's true you don't NEED them, but sometimes they light up a night.... Ha, ha!  My mind just wonders sometimes.

    Oh Sass!  More about the P's with a "fill!"  BAD girl!  Can't teach you guys nothin'!

    To say she is "high-maintenance" is an understatement...Ha!   And a spoiled little girl...

    Blessings thanks so much for mentioning Thermacare patches. DH strained a muscle in his back last night. His insurance sux so he's battling it out with pain pills, & heat. We really need for him to be able to work today as we're limping from paycheck to paycheck as it is, but he was in so much pain last night I had to help him take his pullover shirts off. I think the best help for him, (other than a touch from God) would be a few days of Prednisone.

    Chevy, yes, it was Cambells bean with bacon soup. I showed DH the pic of the Indian you posted. He thought it was sweet. He would love to have a motorcycle again, but I'm afraid for him to have one. He lost the tip of his finger, and banged up his knee & hip in a cycle accident before we met.

    2nd_Time, my DH fell off the wagon in 2008 after 12 years of sobriety. Thank God he drinks at home and the past few months it's rarely more than 2 beers after work, but there's been times I wanted to kill him.

    This is going to be a day of errands, cleaning, & laundry. The laundry has really piled up so I'm going in...Somebody cover me!

    sorry Chevy (and anyone else for that matter) if I ramble right now. I thought this was supposed to be a safe place, guess it depends on your perspective. I have had way too much placed on my shoulders this year, I'm truly at the end of my rope, just can't handle it all, causing me to literally lose sleep, struggle to get thru the next 5 minutes at times. So I come here for a smile or laugh to forget what's happening around. Sorry if I'm a Debbie Downer and ramble, if it's a problem for you or anyone else, I'll take my toys and go to a different playground.

    How comforting that some things always stay the same -- like my always being behind.  So, makes sense I don't talk much about the entries above me.  Just meant to remind that it is not due to not caring......I'm just spread a bit on the thin side but do love to read and TRY to keep up.

    As Mr. Rogers would say.....its a beautiful day in the neighborhood with a bright sun and temps that will rise well.  I'm going to enjoy that so much.

    2nd Time!  What did I say?  I was just TEASING you!  I mean no-one rambles like me!  Don't ever go!  You gotta know me by now.... I always tease...  didn't mean to make you feel like I meant anything... 

    Jackie will tell you about taking that first 10 minutes.... then you have to take just 10 more minutes....  We've all been there, in one way or another....   It just means to take one minute at a time, and try and get another minute....  Don't stay in pain..... it just also hurts your brain....

    So just lock your toys back up..... stay with us...  Man, Sass would kill me if you left!  Winking

    So here I sit on my lazy butt. No laundry done, no cleaning started, haven't even gotten dressed. What is that saying about "good intentions?" I've got to get dressed now. I have 55 minutes to get to the credit union to make a deposit before they close at 1:00.

    DH ended up staying home from work today. He can barely move, but I had to convince him that even though we need the money, his back needs the rest more. He promised to let them anoint him with oil and pray for him at church tomorrow. That's not always easy for him. He's a bit shy.

    Jackie, it's sunny & mild here today too. I think our weather is very similar as we're separated only by Indiana.

    Ok...I'm like a tightly coiled Spring, ready to Spring up out of this chair and get dressed.

    Blessings

    Solteria, I am going to have a recliner day, which is ridiculous to mention, as the last 5 months have been. I do hope to get some house chores done...

    Enerva, the girls look fantastic, ouuuuch ! I would guess smaller is better, cause you can go bigger later?  No clue....lumpectomy girl.....hope it gets easier..you had said something about the nurse coming, I thought shit, you are in the hospital...

    Sas..medicine woman...my Zpack was 2 pills, 500mg... Azithromycin.,.I could find on google a 3 pack prescription but nothing for a 2 pack....they were in a tight foil package. I would have given my Sees candy for some " good" cough syrup.....hope it's working...

    Golfgirl--somethings not right---a zpak is two pills the first day then one pill for the next four days Call your doc with the question. Important not to break the sequence.

    yes....I thought it was weird also, bc I knew a Zpack was a 5 day or pills, I picked them up at Costco, they said on the foil, day 1, day 2...then when I googled it, I did find something very similar, but it was for 3 pills...my blood counts are back to normal, & I am feeling better, just this crap in my throat...but I will call & ask, that's what they are there for, right ?

    Traditional Z-pak is 6 pills   2 day one at same time---then one a day for the next 4 days===total 5 days , but 6 pills.   250 mg

    The tripak 500 mg, has probably been around awhile, but not familiar to me... found it on dailymed.org.

    The key difference is dose and condition ordered for

    Sas, thanks for all your effort, I got them on Thursday, so took one then, one on Friday...threw away the little foil stuff, BUT I have the big plastic container from Costco....500 mg tablet Azithromycin..2 tablets, so I guess it's not a Zpak...it's a mini me...I called the line for my medical group, someone will call back. I saw a young new Dr., GP, only because I was worried as my WBC was low, he said laryngitis, no antibiotics, but 4 days later, counts are normal, :), but I am coughing up mucous, so the nurse emailed the MO and she faxed it in to the pharmacy, I never saw her....4 day work week, the holiday...

    Can't transfer the chart. will link the page be back-------not a doc , but the way I read it, for sinusitis (tri)or pharyngitis(Z)--should be a tri-pak or a z-pak

    http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=92235375-ee38-49cb-9906-b547fd0d7392#nlm34068-7

    look in a box, under "dosage and administration" Then Adult, then a box. List condition on left and dose recommended on right.

    If costico dispensed two, I'm baffled as too why it was ordered that way. Worth a call to the person on call from the office that ordered the med. Your immune system is compromised. It's worth a verification, that is what was meant to be ordered.

    called Costco, they answered, she said my prescription was for 1 gram....so 2 pills @ 500 MG...I asked her if this was normal, she said YES, maybe less is ok, I did not have strep, the GP  ran the quickie for that...
