argh. The names they come up with.
2:50 am

2:51 am

reminds me of that brilliant letter some lady wrote to Allways... about their campaign quote "Have a happy period".
2:51 am

too close to the heart?

2:55 am

I always thought it was ice crystals
2:55 am
rubyfoo

I would have called NASA!
2:55 am
sprite

rubyfoo, it is the honest truth, the bandages brand Allways advertises with 'Have a happy period". Let me check, I think I can find the letter that lady wrote.
2:55 am
sprite

it is ice crystals in the clouds.
2:56 am
rubyfoo

I think that is awful, not something ever discussed when I was young -- back in the Bronze Age!
2:58 am
sprite

well I think it is a good thing it can be talked about without shame nowaways. But that ad is awful. I will sent you the letter, it will make you laugh :)
2:58 am
rubyfoo

no, of course you're right, but still.....
2:59 am
rubyfoo

but we sort of used "coded" words
3:01 am
sprite

yeah we did still in my days. And I think girls still do too. But the difference, I think, is between taboo and private. It is ok to keep it private, but there is no need to be ashamed anymore.
3:01 am
rubyfoo

agreed!
3:02 am
rubyfoo

no need to discuss publicly (with husbands, etc.)
3:02 am

no unless it is pertinent to do so, lol.

At this point I feel bad for the nurses and staff! He is a retired surgeon and one hell of a difficult patient!

My son has a titanium pin in his hip. He says it makes life interesting at the airport. : P

(wave)
7:33 am
MollyL

Cool, Mussolini is in the grid.
7:33 am
car.eeyore

I am most concerned about his frame of mind right now. He had been working with physiotherapy and moving around a lot more and was really in a great place mentally regarding his health. He is VERY upset and discouraged about this turn.
7:34 am
MollyL

Isn't someone on this board a geriatric psychologist?
7:35 am
Kaplan the Magne

do you mean a geriatric psychologist, or a psycholigist for geriatrics?
7:35 am
Kaplan the Magne

Slight difference.
7:35 am
Mom

Hi Kap
7:35 am
uusue2

so he's taken a recent turn for the worse, car?
7:35 am
MollyL

No, I meant geriatric psychologist. Like adolescent psychologist.
7:36 am
car.eeyore

Not a turn. And he is much better now that he has had the surgery. We just need to keep him positive and moving in the right direction.
7:36 am
Kaplan the Magne

I don't think adolescents are allowed to be psycholigists.
7:36 am
uusue2

ah, good. Attitude is key - that's what's pulled my dad through.
7:37 am
MollyL

Well, both are proper terminology.
7:37 am
car.eeyore

I have to say, uusue, I will be pulling a lot from your experience with your dad! who knew!!!
7:37 am
BabbleRabble

kje is a Geriatrician, a medical doctor that specializes in geriatrics.

I think we all get the blues when something major like that happens to you, perhaps he will have his 'sulk' and get on with it in a few days
7:38 am
Kaplan the Magne

If only parents could live long and be healthy...
7:38 am
uusue2

The rehab center was pretty depressing for my dad, but he used that as motivation to work hard and get out - didn't want to be in that place full of really sick old people :-)
7:39 am
Kaplan the Magne

Rehab centers are awful. More like nursing homes- it's just a place they throw people into because they are kicked out of the hospital when the insurance says so
7:39 am
Kaplan the Magne

In my experience, anyway.
7:40 am
uusue2

yeah, my stepmother is in one now :-(
7:40 am
car.eeyore

This is a wing of the hospital that he is at. He has been there before and the staff is excellent and he had a really great result...so I am hopeful!
7:40 am
lynxxx

something to look forward to - thanks Kap
7:40 am
MollyL

I agree about rehab centers. Someone could make a lot of money opening up rehab centers for the "not so old".
7:40 am
uusue2

we'll be thinking of him, car!
7:41 am
uusue2

well, my dad is 90, molly, so not exactly young, but he wasn't as sick as a lot of the people there.
7:41 am
car.eeyore

OK...my back has taken all it can of sitting in this chair and typing for the moment. I need to take a break. See you all in a bit!
7:41 am

8:42 am

can your siblings visit him in between too?
8:43 am

don't have any, nef (not surviving, that is), and my sister's kids are not really in touch with him any more.
8:43 am
Nef

sorry, matches, I don't have it yet
8:43 am
uusue2

I've tried to encourage them to contact him, but they have their own lives (and my niece just had her third baby, so she's pretty busy!)
8:44 am
Nef

that's tough, uusue. So are you looking for cheap weekend flights and visits?
8:45 am
uusue2

I will be come May; even then I can't really drive unless I bring the rest of the family (partner, son, and dog), as we only have one car.
8:46 am
Nef

would he come visit you?
8:46 am
uusue2

not finding the an6/18, either :-)
8:46 am
uusue2

Nef, he's talked about it but it's almost 1000 miles, I don't think he's up to driving that far yet. And I don't think he wants to fly.

i don't think so... it didn't hurt when i got up. i did my neck thing that the chiropractor has me do, and it didn't hurt then. i started my yoga, and about five poses in - none of which put strain on the neck - it just spazzed out.
9:01 am

Ouch! But do try either heat or cold on it (Cold works best for DH, but heat helps me -even though you're supposed to do cold first)

unfortunately i'm now at work and i don't have either.

I have little cold packs that I keep in the office freezer, hurshy - don't know if you have one available but it might be a good idea for the future, if possible

Hurshy, if you have a microwave available you can warm some wet cloths or even paper towels for a warm compress
9:08 am

ok, finally made an appointment to see my doctor about these headaches :-(
9:09 am

good, uusue. Have you been thinking that they are related to stress?

I don't think there are any other grad schools for Physics in CT. Wesleyan does have grad degrees n science, but I'm not sure about Physics
9:15 am
uusue2

M.Phil. and Ph.D. in physics (it's kind of been downhill from there...)
9:15 am
bichon

It's enough.
9:15 am
uusue2

I had a physical therapist who had a degree from Quinnipiac (which I am sure I am misspelling) but again not physics
9:17 am
bichon

There are grad programs at the State Universities and UConn has a Med and Law school. Qinippiac is starting a med school [hard to believe]
9:18 am
uusue2

well, if they already have graduate programs in physical therapy - but it's still a big leap. NIU is talking about a medical school at some point in the far future as well but right now there isn't any money for anything :-(
9:19 am
bichon

I'm wondering how good of a med school Quinnipiac could make. They do have a law school
9:20 am
Nef

CT is such a small state for so many grad programs! How do they do it?
9:20 am
uusue2

well, if they can put together a good faculty (and schools tend to graduate more qualified people than they can employ...)
9:20 am
uusue2

well, nef, the population isn't all that small, and it's right next to New York.
9:21 am
bichon

I don't think the grad schools at the state universities are that great. One has a Library Science school. CT may be small but it does have some very wealthy areas.
9:21 am
uusue2

And New Jersey (also not far) helps by not really having a state university system similar to those of most other states...
9:21 am
bichon

And how CT built a bball empire, I don't know
9:22 am
Nef

Ah! So it pulls students from the surrounding states! Do they have reciprocity for lower tuition too?
9:22 am
uusue2

Not that I know of, although it has been a VERY long time since I was a student :-)
9:23 am
bichon

No. and UConn [the main campus] is becoming very competitive to get into.
9:23 am
uusue2

but NJ was kind of infamous for sending all its students to other states to get educated.
9:23 am
bichon

Is it better now?
9:24 am
uusue2

dunno, bichon, but I don't think it is significantly better.
9:27 am
Nef

Well, my morning coffee is done and it'st ime to get busy around here. My sister is visiting in 3 weeks (for 2 days, as she stops here on her way to visit a friend in LA); so I'm trying to get things organized around here so I don't have that last minute dash of cleaning and shuffling stuff around.

spring-like here in that it is constantly changing - yesterday was in the high 70s, today is in the low 40s - started with some snow flakes mixed with rain this morning - now just cloudy

probably about time to let him in again though... I'll take my shower first. *sigh* totally distracted this morning. Not sure which end is up and have a meeting at the college in a couple hours with my supervisor

Murphy and I are minding the fort whilst Dad is looking at boats in Seattle. That is his hobby.

maybe he'll surprise you with a sailboat
12:58 pm
stidmama

again? he went Saturday, didn't he?
1:00 pm
stidgmere

I don't think so ruby. He told me recently what he really likes is researching boats and looking. It is funny because he looks at fairly small boats, in need of repair, yet he does not want to do the repair work anymore. Yes, the Saturday boat had major engine mount problems and lack of winterizing probably meant a cracked block.
1:00 pm
stidmama

oh well, at least it keeps him busy.

It is also a lot cheaper than a boat which is just a money pit. Ruby, we have not sailed since stidmama was a very young girl. I hate to put it this way, but it was a long time ago.

5:50 pm
Glantarell

maple syrup is incredibly expensiv here - think $10 for a quarter pint - and people tend not to use it ias it's hard to find - we almost always use lemon juice and sugar n our pancakes
5:51 pm

it's pretty plentiful around here but the price keeps going up and up

Teachers play such a critical role in the maturation process ... I wish you well.
6:44 pm

So I have a list of requirements for extra credit papers - at least two pages and include a list of sources. So one student hands me 5 extra credit papers (he's missed a lot of classes), each less than a page with no sources. Sigh.

6:46 pm
uusue2

I think I may just give them back to him and tell him to try again, stid. What I wanted the students to do was go into a little more depth on one of the "news" articles I show at the beginning of class; he just did a brief summary of each one.

8:54 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

don't know much about the Bloc québécois but they sound kinda scary sometimes
8:54 pm
dcseain

eh, part of living in an area :)
8:55 pm
jesdraggon

no, still have 42 words left. celebrating successfully replacing a uterine prolapse, for the first time. i have a horrible history of bad luck with prolapses.
8:55 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

DOH! ty, found the ad8. adding it to my collection now
8:55 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

jes, what's that in english? and are you the patient or the doctor?
8:56 pm
jesdraggon

i'm the doctor, and that's when the uterus, which really should be an internal organ, decides that it wants to take a tour of the field outside of the cow.
8:56 pm
Minveryork

Hooray for U jesdraggon.Glad to hear the good news!
8:56 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

EW!!
8:57 pm
Minveryork

8:57 pm
jmcnrick

whoo hooo min
8:57 pm
Nef

well congrats on the sucessful procedure, jes. Do you use pessaries or what?
8:57 pm
jmcnrick

wtd jes and LOVED the description! lol
8:57 pm
Minveryork

I'll be here off&on to give clues while I write my story
8:57 pm
jesdraggon

yeah. ew is correct, though perhaps a bit of an understatement. now if only the cow will stay alive and nurse her calf, all will be happy!
8:58 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

congrats min and jes!
8:58 pm
jesdraggon

i'm going with no, nef, because i'm not sure what pessaries are?
8:59 pm
Nef

okay, did you sew it back in, or what?
8:59 pm
LeslieAnn

also, i am PRETTY sure we're not talking about cows.
8:59 pm
jesdraggon

it's a matter of positioning the cow with her legs behind her (this particular cow was NOT cooperative for this), then lifting and pushing. And that's WORK. probably weighs 40 pounds.
9:00 pm
LeslieAnn

oh wait we ARE talking about cows?
9:00 pm
jesdraggon

i'm talking about cows, leslie, what are you talking about?
9:00 pm
jmcnrick

rofl
9:00 pm
LeslieAnn

bahaha i thought you were talking about people and were just being clever
9:00 pm
Nef

LOL! I'm wondering what LA is talking about too!
9:00 pm
jmcnrick

*trying to imagine a cow with legs in front of her*
9:00 pm
LeslieAnn

someone asked doctor or patient, so i assumed people
9:01 pm
LeslieAnn

i was going to say, i hope you don't explain it to the ladies that way
9:01 pm
jesdraggon

when you get it all back inside , you shove your arm up as far as you can to try and turn the whole thing right-side inside, since it had to turn outside-in to come out.
9:01 pm
jesdraggon

then sew across the vulva so it can't come back out.
9:01 pm
dcseain

LA, now you know what kind of doctor jes is :)
9:01 pm
jmcnrick

*imagines woman face when jes explains procedure to her as a patient*
9:01 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

seems like a design flaw, jes LOL
9:02 pm
jesdraggon

lying on her chest, jam, front legs tucked under, back legs pulled out behind her like she's going over a jump
9:02 pm
jmcnrick

*tears streaming down face laughing*
9:02 pm
LeslieAnn

"You see, ma'am, your uterus seems to have taken a walk outside the cow."
9:02 pm
jesdraggon

pulling the legs back tips the pelvis forward so you're not pushing uphill.
9:02 pm
dcseain

hi, jmc
9:02 pm
jesdraggon

it is a SERIOUS design flaw, the damn thing should be tacked to the body wall on the ends of the horns!
9:03 pm
Nef

how many people does it take to get a cow in that position?
9:03 pm
jmcnrick

don't forget LA about shoving in and turning it rightside out again
9:03 pm
jesdraggon

in this case, it took 4, and we ended up with her head snubbed to the tractor and her hind legs pulled back to a 4-wheeler.
9:03 pm
LeslieAnn

ha! that was AFTER i realized we were talking about cows
9:03 pm
LeslieAnn

ouch!
9:03 pm
Nef

It happens to women too. I've seen it in elderly women who have had a lot of kids and poor medical care
9:03 pm
jesdraggon

in less feisty cows, you can do this with 2 people.
9:03 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

hope the cow gets better, seriously, but EW!
9:04 pm
Nef

a pessary is a device that is placed in the vagina to help hold the uterus in
9:04 pm
jwr

Wasn't this an episode of All Creatures Great and Small???
9:04 pm
jesdraggon

ah. no, nef, just cross-hatched over the uterus with umbilical tape.
9:05 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

quite a few episodes, actually
9:05 pm
jesdraggon

probably, jwr. never watched the show, but it did happen in at least one of his books.
9:05 pm
dan2bit

evening all - what on earth have I popped in on! :-)
9:05 pm

9:06 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

and the topic today is . . . cow stuffing
9:06 pm
LeslieAnn

yes! i only have four left. first ca 6/21?
9:06 pm
jesdraggon

so i may not be able to move tomorrow. imagine, if you will, crouching down with 40 pounds of uterus balanced on your thighs, pushing as hard as you can around the edges to get things slid back inside with one hand, and trying to pull the edge of the vulva out with the other hand so it doesn't roll in and block... it's a workout!
9:06 pm
dan2bit

hi minver nef, dcs, jmc and all!
9:06 pm
jesdraggon

hi dan, you walked into the tale of my afternoon :)
9:07 pm

9:07 pm
jesdraggon

heh. usually a week or so, or until they can catch her again.
9:07 pm

I've accomplished the fe4/7 of finishing the puzzle so now I will le4/5 a hand with a story for you to sc4/5. It has been a long time since I ate be4/9 since I gave it up for Le4/4.Haven't ea5/10 beef since March 9th Now I'm be 4/6ing myself over my decision to give up eating red meat. I fe4/7 like it was a huge mistake. I wish I could be4/7 the rules&eat it once a week. But if I be 4/6 the rules, it defe/7s the purpose of giving something up for Le4/4. I just love red meat and eat it too much. I've become less le 4/4 with all the meat I eat.I like it cooked anyway whether it be bo4/6ed, br5/14ed, or grilled. I like it even more than ca6/18, which is what I gave up last year.I ca4/5 believe it is another 2 weeks until my no red meat rule en 4/5. It was so da 5/28 of me to give up eating red meat. Will never do it again!I know one thing's for sure,as soon as Le 4/4 is over, the first thing I in6/21 to do is eat a HUGE Porterhouse steak! Now that I have le5/10 a hand with my story of clues,I am going to go ne 6/18 up the kitchen. Then I'm going to jump in4/4 bed and watch the news to see what's going on in the na6/18 I te 4/5 to fall asleep though watching TV this late at ni 4/4. I hope you have made no 4/4 of my clues and they helped you out a te5/14 bit.Goodnight babblers.

10:06 pm

I like my droid. But don't ever lose it. The refurbished crap they gave me after mine got stolen.... it doesn't something bizarre and frustrating once every other day.
10:06 pm
dcseain

it's a start-up that's not off the ground yet, Nef. Targeting tourists with mobile devices in cooperation with local sites
10:06 pm
dcseain

does*
10:06 pm
balletslippers

that sounds exciting dc! what is your position within the startup?
10:06 pm
dcseain

this is a low-end one that was free from my carrier, if highly rated in its class. we'll see.
10:08 pm
dcseain

I'm COO, and working to get the CEO to accept that he knows jack about marketing.
10:08 pm

that part doesn't sound so fun, dc
10:08 pm
balletslippers

haha yeah
10:09 pm
dcseain

it isn't, but alas, some ick always comes with most anything
10:09 pm
Nef

true. I hope it's just "some" ick and not lots of ick!
10:11 pm
dcseain

:) same here. We went to HS together, and server on the Alumni Association board together, so here's hoping it goes well.
10:11 pm
balletslippers

finally crushed the T's!!
10:12 pm
Nef

so at least you have some history and can probably predict some areas you can improve on
10:12 pm
dcseain

quite so. we both also regularly attend the same board-gaming group
10:13 pm
Nef

er, I mean help him improve on
10:13 pm
dcseain

which is actually how we met.
10:13 pm
Nef

board-gaming? as in scrabble, etc?
10:14 pm
dcseain

well, we all have ways we can improve, as do most all relationships :)
10:14 pm
dcseain

yes, though we play more German ones on the whole.
10:16 pm
Nef

So what are German board games?
10:17 pm
balletslippers

well I busted 100 words and have less than 30 left, the Boy is asking to go to bed. So I think it's time for me to take my leave...

I think I've heard of Power Grid before, but not the other 2.
10:18 pm
Nef

Enable doesn't enable anyone.
10:18 pm
Nef

Hey, how is Tom doing?
10:19 pm
dcseain

true that, nef
10:20 pm
dcseain

he's been certified for heart transplant in Richmond. Is debating going through the certification process again here in Washington, which i think may actually mean Baltimore.
10:20 pm
dcseain

but, he's well, aside from that :)
10:20 pm
Nef

I'm keeping him in my prayers, seain
10:20 pm
dcseain

he FINALLY had a doctor write him a handicapped parking tag w/out him asking, which is wonderful. He's needed and deserved that for a long time.
10:20 pm
dcseain

thank you, Nef
10:21 pm
Nef

you are kidding! It's taken this long?
10:22 pm
dcseain

it's only 13 years since the heart problem was diagnosed, and 18 months after the myectomy failed
10:22 pm
dcseain

(i agree, that was mostly sarcasm)
10:23 pm
Nef

that's really awful.
10:23 pm
dcseain

he has an excellent rheumatologist who is very holistic in her approach. He started seeing her in November.
10:24 pm
dcseain

She's the one that certified him for the DMV
10:25 pm
Nef

I hope that it will open up his world a bit.
10:25 pm
dcseain

he's one of 3 people i know to have quit the cardiology practice he was getting primary cardiac care from.
10:25 pm
dcseain

it will ease it for sure :)
10:25 pm
Nef

Did he feel they were incompetent?
10:27 pm
dcseain

well, they felt the myectomy was not suggested, despite symptomatology and documentation.
10:27 pm
dcseain

and they were not convinced he was candidate for transplant.
10:27 pm
Nef

oh, MAN!
10:28 pm
Nef

that does sound on the border of competant
10:28 pm
Nef

competent
10:29 pm
dcseain

they missed active a-fib during a stress test in another person i know. He pointed it out to them once he saw the results confirmed what he was feeling.
10:30 pm
dcseain

so, yeah, not so great. Happily, we have plenty to choose from around here, plus Washington Hospital Center and Washington Adventist Hospital, both wonderful cardiac facilities
10:30 pm
Nef

why wouldn't he be a candidate for transplant? his age is right; his poor heart, etc. Don't tell me it was bias?!
10:31 pm
dcseain

i don't know. Some was he's "so young". He kept pointing out that that's a plus when it comes to transplant.
10:31 pm
Nef

We transplanted patients as young as 10!
10:32 pm
dcseain

yep. really, younger will get much more use out of organ than 80+ year old with other problems, not to be agist.
10:33 pm
Nef

yeah.
10:34 pm
dcseain

we have had advantage of knowing someone who's had a heart transplant. he and his wife have been wonderfully supportive and full of information.
10:35 pm
Nef

that's great. It really helps patients see that there is life (and a great life!) after transplant
10:36 pm

we'd had a 16 year old boy who'd been on an artificial heart for a long time before he got his heart. He came back 10 years after with his fiance to have her see what he'd been through. We loved that visit!
10:40 pm
dcseain

:) how wonderful, especially for other patients on the ward!
10:42 pm
Nef

When he did come back and visit; we didn't have anyone on a heart pump (artificial heart); so I don't think they were so interested in him
10:42 pm

the hospital where I used to work had now developed a big CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) program and they now have people going home on heart pumps. Not as a bridge to transplant but rather as a device for them to live on forever
