The surgery I had used an incision called "anterolateral" wherein no muscles nor tendons are cut, just retracted. This meant no weight-bearing nor movement restrictions. The anesthetic was spinal plus sedation rather than general. They had me standing six hours after surgery. I was home three days later.

melonheadjujube

phantom: an IBM typewriter model

12:36 am

melonheadjujube

Not much. The first two weeks were pretty painful. I was bruised from my buttock to just below my knees. I joked with the nurses that someone had to have had their knee up on the operating table. The bruises took a while to heal since I have to take blood thinners for four weeks to prevent clota.

ooo sorry - good morning Sprite xx

2:44 am

sprite

hello worzel

2:44 am

grannyrose

watching the news from arizona. it's just heart-breaking.

2:47 am

worzel

Good Lord - I've just been on the ABC news site. They have some footage of the tornadoes in action - they are whoppers! My heart goes out to them and may their God take care of them xx

2:48 am

grannyrose

ni4, worzel. it is devastating isn't it? we don't know how fortunate we are, living where we do.

2:50 am

grannyrose

we have started to have earth-quakes here in victoria. unheard of before. and we had small tornados in south australia. even so, they are minor compared to what the rest of the world endures.

2:51 am

worzel

So true. The UK suffers terribly from flooding around once a year in certain parts, but we get nothing like that. We once had a hurricane in the late 80s (well, they called it a hurricane) and it killed a fair few, but these folks get it year after year. Mind you, we do get quite a lot of elderly people die from the cold in winter and from the heat in summer, but that's because as a nation we are disgusting at taking care of our "senior statespeople" and should be ashamed of ourselves for that

2:53 am

grannyrose

i hear you worzel. and where do we start with a reform that takes care of our marginalised citizens? i say the pollies need to give up at least 50% of their so-called wages. it's disgusting the amount of money they award themselves, plus the perks.

2:54 am

sprite

horrible, rose :(

2:54 am

grannyrose

a wage implies that hard work is done to earn that money. yeah, right!! come and do my job, live on my wage, you mugs!!

2:55 am

worzel

True. Although they have no actual power over pay-rises in this country for us proles they do try to squeeze company profit margins so that pay-rises are hard to award to employees. And yet the politicians, who claim that Joe Citizen can live on a pay rise of around 2 per cent per annum, have just awarded themselves a 28 per cent pay rise the b*stards!!!

2:55 am

worzel

excuse my language but it makes me seethe

2:56 am

grannyrose

see??? i just said that...what do they take us for? a bunch of morons? *seething, right alongside worzel*

2:56 am

puglet

greetings friends

2:56 am

gapeach

Hey, puglet.

2:56 am

sprite

hey my darling pug :) *hugs*

2:57 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} my dearest miz pugs

2:57 am

worzel

what makes me laugh is that the average payrise - excluding top flight earners - was around 2.6 per cent. The cost of living rose by 1.9 per cent. Fair enough, but another 33 taxes were introduced by the UK last year so technically the pay rises were negated by the taxes. What a laugh ho-bloody ho!

2:57 am

worzel

Good morning pugs ((((hugs)))) xx

2:58 am

puglet

hugs and love to you all----I had a heck of a time getting to sleep last nigh-:(

2:58 am

aw that sucks, pugs. Can you take a nap later today?

2:58 am

grannyrose

2:59 am

3:01 am

grannyrose

ugh, dear. i awoke at 2 AM, read until 4:30AM, turned light off, dozed off again at 6:30AM, alarm went off at 7:15AM. *sigh*

3:01 am

sprite

*gently hits rose over the head with a rubber hammer*

3:01 am

grannyrose

okay, so what's fretting you, dear?

3:01 am

puglet

were you hurting Rose

3:02 am

grannyrose

awww, spritey....just the rubber one?? i need the sledge hammer please. and take a good swing...

3:02 am

puglet

not just one thing--just this and that--no biggies really

3:03 am

sprite

never, rose, don't want to hurt you or leave a lasting impression, lol. Just a gentle 'sleep NOW' swing.

3:03 am

puglet

looks like a big grid today

3:03 am

grannyrose

no, dear pugs, i had one with the lot last night, just couldn't sleep. kept going to glow-in-the-dark hot, even with a fan on me.

3:03 am

puglet

did you get rested up Sprite

3:04 am

puglet

fever from the candlelight dinner with don? lol

3:04 am

grannyrose

pugs, do you know the words to the ' gloria in excelsior '. when thoughts interrupt me in the night, i start reciting it. it is amazing how quickly God steps in, and calms my thoughts.

3:05 am

sprite

sort of. Must go to a funeral later today, think I will go to the service and then back home. Hope I can hug my friends before or after the service.

3:05 am

puglet

no I dont Rose

3:05 am

grannyrose

last night, i was drowsy, just couldn't get to that deep REM sleep.

3:06 am

puglet

someone close Sprite

3:06 am

grannyrose

oh, sprite. i hope the big fella upstairs gives you strength and peace as you go through the process today.

3:07 am

sprite

the mother of a friend of mine. Not very close to me, I am going for the friend and his wife and son.

3:08 am

grannyrose

pugs, try googling it, dear. if you can print it out, it would be good. we recite it in service evry sunday. i have been saying/singing it ever since i was about 8 years old.

3:08 am

puglet

I second what Rose said

3:08 am

puglet

okay Rose

3:08 am

sprite

thanks, my darling friends

even so sprite, it is very hard to watch your friend and his family go through the grief process. {{hugs}} dearest one.

3:10 am

sprite

yes, that is true. And we are also waiting for the test results on a removed tumor. The sister of the friend who just stayed with us. Would have been yesterday, but the hospital called and said it would take another week.

3:12 am

puglet

oh thats too bad Sprite--I hope it comes back with good news

3:12 am

grannyrose

ugh, sprite. the waiting is the hardest bit. once you know the results, you can move forward. i hope cobi's sister can handle it. will put her in my prayers.

3:13 am

sprite

yes we all do... somehow I have the feeling them postponing it is not a good sign. They did a biopt earlier and couldn't come to a diagnose based on that.

3:13 am

sprite

thank you both. Prayers are most welcome!

3:13 am

puglet

will do Sprite--do you have her first name for us

3:14 am

sprite

do you guys sometimes think that God hits the wrong people too? Cobi's sister is one of the most beautiful people I know, so loving, so pure.

3:14 am

sprite

her name is Rommy

3:16 am

puglet

I dont always understand his ways and dont feel safe questioning his ways really. God dosent cause bad things to happen for he cant look upon sin

3:17 am

sprite

I feel totally safe criticizing Him. He made me Himself, He knows exactly how I mean it :)

3:19 am

grannyrose

good question, sprite. not too sure what the answer is. i wish i was there and we could talk this out together.

3:20 am

worzel

back again - and feeling rather proud having noticed an 8 letter word!! xx

3:20 am

sprite

would love to see you IRL, rose! But you guys caring and praying is almost as good. It certainly transcends all distances.

3:20 am

grannyrose

well done worzel

3:20 am

worzel

Parental intelligence finally rubbing off Mum xx

3:21 am

worzel

phantom acetic

3:21 am

puglet

Wor, did you enjoy your shopping trip yesterday

3:22 am

puglet

Sprite, your name is almost in the grid

3:23 am

grannyrose

sprite, you should have heard me when my soul sister died of breast cancer, and left her 2 daughters, 12 and 14 with their dad. then said dad died 12 months later, ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. left those two girls orphans at 13 and 15.

3:23 am

worzel

D'you know, Pug, I did. And all I spent was £3!!! But it was lovely being out and about in the sun and although I had much to buy I just couldn't be spending the money because I am poor and would have felt bad about not being able to feed the budgie lol

3:23 am

sprite

oh I hear ya, rose! How horrible. Very very hard to be accepting and understandng about His ways then!

3:24 am

sprite

lol indeed, pugs... I am a phantom today, it seems

3:24 am

grannyrose

for goodness sake, worzel, stop it!! you will have pugs in tears...naughty man.

3:24 am

worzel

Oh, believe me, the animals come before me every time. I would starve so they could eat!

3:26 am

grannyrose

i'm not allowed to have anything but a bird as a pet. don cannot justify feeding an animal when there are so many humans, adults and children, starving to death each day. and i have to agree with him. and now we come back to the pollies. give up the moolah....feed the hungry, ya mugs.

3:26 am

puglet

34 words from that one S ! OO should love this grid-lol

3:26 am

worzel

Just been looking at the news - Iraqi elections are strange - they have around 30 candidates for every seat available. How many political parties do they need lol

3:27 am

sprite

lol yes pugs. A grid with a bite.

3:27 am

puglet

I got 11 words so far-lol---my brain is slow this morning

3:27 am

worzel

Animals always come before people with me. I much prefer animals to humans - present company, and Diane, excepted of course! xx

3:28 am

worzel

Even though she's laying next to me snoring her head off (so cute!!)

3:28 am

grannyrose

you had better, worzel...or diane and i want to know why..

3:28 am

puglet

Iam like that too Wor--I make sure they get their food first

3:29 am

worzel

Breaks me in two to see animals mistreated. But let's not go there - let's be cheerful!!!

3:29 am

grannyrose

wow, a male partner who thinks their woman's snoring is cute!!

3:31 am

worzel

It is cute - she knows she snores and she said to me only last night that she hopes it doesn't bug me too much. I really do find it cute, and it always makes me smile - I think it's love, because my ex-wife used to snore like a frigging pneumatic drill and it really got on me goat!!! Mind you, I didn't really care much for her . . . pmsl

3:32 am

worzel

oo-er just found a rather rood phantom, but dunno whether I should type it . . .

3:32 am

worzel

oh hang it, phantom clitoris!!!!

3:32 am

worzel

sorry . . .

3:33 am

grannyrose

it was because of don's concern, that i finally had a sleep study done. since my CPAP machine....we BOTH sleep better.

3:33 am

sprite

very good, rose. Apneu is a sneaky killer.

3:34 am

puglet

brb

3:35 am

sprite

ok pugs, hurry back :)

3:35 am

grannyrose

lolol, worzel. a male colleague of mine was so funny. he kept insisting a certain hotel was in Clitoris...he could not understand why a room full of female nurses were laughing hysterically. the town was Clematis.

3:35 am

sprite

very interesting freudian slip, rose, lolol

3:36 am

worzel

haha. That reminds me of a Polish girl I used to work with. She asked me one day in broken English what to ask for at the garden centre, so for devilment I wrote it down for her - I told her to ask for some clitoris (as in clematis, of course) and some trailing labia instead of lobelia! She came back the following Monday with a bit of a face on her, I can tell you!

3:37 am

sprite

that is cruel

3:37 am

worzel

cruel, Sprite, but so funny!

3:38 am

grannyrose

yeah, sprite. my brother, the next youngest after me, has it. his wife describes it exactly. he has now been diagnosed with SEVERE coronary artery disease. he has been anti-coagulated and had a stent in6ed. he now understands why his wife and i am so insistent on him having a sleep study do4.

3:38 am

worzel

cannot think were I get this naughty bent from . . .

3:38 am

grannyrose

*giggle* worzel?? down boy!!

3:39 am

worzel

sorry Mum! xx

3:39 am

sprite

how awful, rose :( Am so sorry. Yes, my husband had one do4 as well when I asked him to. But he didn't score at all high when sleeping in the hospital. The funny thing is, since that test he snores less!

3:39 am

worzel

Anyway, I guess I'd best go off and start some more gardening - also have housework to do and last night's dinner dishes - I'm such a lazy slut lmao! I hope you all have a good day/eventide, however you celebrate it xx

Hi Scrabbler

zoozzoom

Hello, Scrabbler :-)

5:50 am

crosshair

bit of a fast tidbit. There is currently a security risk with the I.E browsers 6 thru 11(google it for specifics) If you are comfortable doing so you should switch to firefox or chrome while they(Microsoft) patch this issue.

5:50 am

Scrabbler

It's morning here, Gwen.

5:50 am

zoozzoom

Hello, BDG :-)

5:50 am

5:51 am

puglet

5:51 am

Scrabbler

I have used Firefox forever.

5:52 am

zoozzoom

Scrabbler, Mimi, Was asking for your email address yesterday, She needed information about her 2 or 3 year old boy who was in E.R...not sure of the rest.

5:52 am

crosshair

i was in yesterday, puglet. remember when i said that he thought my new filling had come loose? well, as it turns out, that tooth had split down the middle, right beneath my gumline, so they had to remove it and dig out the bits;(

5:52 am

zoozzoom

Just thought i would pass on that bit of info.

5:52 am

puglet

poor Crossy--yuck

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, Crossy. Much pain today?

5:53 am

zoozzoom

Eww that does sound painful, Crossy :-(

5:53 am

Scrabbler

Zooz, I think my email address is in my profile

5:53 am

crosshair

swolen and my cheek is still puffed out. Just as well though, there was a ton of infection hiding underneath it all

5:53 am

zoozzoom

I checked..but could not find it.

5:54 am

Book Doctor Gwen

ewwww, glad to hear you got that fixed, crossy

5:55 am

zoozzoom

You do seem to be going through the ringer, Crossy, Glad you are getting it fixed.

5:55 am

puglet

well I do hope you heal soon Crossy---things havent been too good for you here lately with your health

5:55 am

zoozzoom

5:55 am

Scrabbler

Zooz, I added my email address just now.

5:55 am

Scrabbler

Poor Crossy!

5:55 am

crosshair

5:59 am

puglet

6:00 am

6:01 am

crosshair

untill then i see some bacon with a side of fluffy buttermilk pancakes with grade #1 light syrup drizzled all over it

6:02 am

Scrabbler

Mmm, pancakes.

6:02 am

crosshair

in my near future*

6:02 am

zoozzoom

I go for an over 50s free health check...I did go on the first of last month...but I was a month too early.lol..talk about embarassing.

6:03 am

crosshair

6:04 am

zoozzoom

I go tomorrow, Pugs..I know everything will be fine.

6:05 am

puglet

I hope so for your sake Zoom--good luck

6:05 am

zoozzoom

Yes i am very greatful we have a NHS here all medical attention is free.

6:05 am

crosshair

But, as you all probably know, this will most likely be my last hurrah with free range no-holds barred diet. I see a future of being on a tight leash

6:06 am

zoozzoom

I will be fine, Pugs, my body is good..it is just my mind that needs attention..lol

6:06 am

puglet

aging is so wonderful isnt it--lol

6:06 am

Book Doctor Gwen

first we get private money out of public service. then we will be able to get a single-payer plan (equivalent to NHS)

6:06 am

crosshair

lol, do not worry about you mind, zooz. When you do finally lose it, you will not know it.

6:06 am

zoozzoom

I must admit i think you may be right there, Crossy. But i wonder why you have to be told by a docctor when you know that in your heart anyway..lol

6:07 am

crosshair

because crossy is stubborn, that's why

6:07 am

zoozzoom

LOL i like that, Crossy..very true..lol

6:08 am

crosshair

brb. must step some tea and get some toast and marmalade going

6:08 am

zoozzoom

I do hope so, BDG, it is wonderful knowing you can go to any hospital or doctors and get help without worrying about paying for operations...Do not get me wrong..we still have to pay for perscriptions though.

6:09 am

6:50 am

zoozzoom

6:53 am

zoozzoom

Just think though..in about 20 years or so. They might be small and slim enough to put on like a jumper. quiet enough too as not to annoy people..oh how nice..just pop up into the air and take some food with you and find a nice area to sit and look out to sea etc....geez what is in my tea..i must be going mad..lol

7:03 am

MimiCat

Hi, Molly. The worst part of this for me is that I could not get over there to help. I felt like I was sitting on top of a stick of dynamite just ready to blow.

7:03 am

MollyL

Glad to hear the serious stuff was eliminated. Hope he's feeling better soon.

7:03 am

zoozzoom

Well i do hope it all turns out to be fine in the end..You always feel so helpless when i child becomes ill..I feel for you.

I hope your granson gets well quickly, mimi.

7:06 am

Anniebrook

ditto for me, mimi

7:06 am

MimiCat

My children never seem to need me anymore so when my son made me his first call it made me feel good that he wanted to come to his mother again for comfort and advice. I just wish he didn't live so far away since I don't have a car and the public transportation takes hours. I just wish I could have done more but he was able to get his father to help and he only lives a couple of blocks away.

7:06 am

zoozzoom

I am well thanks, Enomis, Hope you are well too :-)

7:07 am

10:40 am

mkg

now i got it. not what i thought. not at all. bichon forget my suggestion. it is another word altogether

10:40 am

10:51 am

NonnieLight

ok good

10:51 am

MimiCat

Sorry...had a phone call. Thanks, Molly...yes, that was what I was looking for. Now my other grandson has the same thing but is not as bad....however, they're not considering it horribly serious now like we first though...whew!! I hate it when the babies aren't well...They're only 3 and 2.

10:52 am

bichon

What are their symptoms Mimi?

10:52 am

MLFAN17

mimi do they have the flu?

10:53 am

MimiCat

First they both had high fevers but then the older one broke out in a full body rash that prednisone didn't help so they admitted him to the hospital yesterday. Now, the other one has the rash, too. They're thinking they had a reaction to a virus...doing more tests.

10:53 am

rururocks

doesn't that kind of cross a boundary mimi?

10:54 am

bichon

Measles?

10:54 am

MLFAN17

a virus? yikes

10:56 am

helensgirlkid

Sounds a lot like measles.

10:56 am

bichon

There is a measles epidemic out there. Even adults are getting it

10:56 am

NonnieLight

It does...hope they get better soon, mimi

10:57 am

MLFAN17

where are they bichon?

10:57 am

MimiCat

I'm wondering if it's a reaction to the valley fever we have here....everyone gets it eventually since it lives in the soil and also is airborne. No, they said it isn't the measles but that's what I initially thought, too.

10:58 am

MimiCat

These kids have childcare in their home and aren't really exposed to other kids much. They've been vaccinated against measles.

10:58 am

bichon

Valley fever? That's a new one to me

10:58 am

helensgirlkid

Offer my congratulations and thanks to their parents for getting them vaccinated!

10:59 am

MimiCat

Whenever we go from summer to winter or spring to summer people get sick here.

11:00 am

MimiCat

The technical name for valley fever is coccidioidomycosis....loved transcribing that one on a regular basis! I now can easily do so.

11:00 am

bichon

A lot pf people don't vaccinate for whatever silly reason. My husband was a baby in post-war Germany and he had diptheria and whooping cough. He's luck and survived

11:00 am

helensgirlkid

I think we should have a campaign with ribbons (red spots on white, perhaps?) indicating "I (My kids) have been vaccinated!"

11:00 am

MimiCat

It shows up on most people's chest x-rays if they've lived here awhile...shows up on mine though I didn't really have symptoms with it...some people do, though.

ri 5/14, please?

11:01 am

MimiCat

They asked me about vaccinating when they were having the first one and I simply told them the dangers of the diseases are MUCH more significant than the slight chance of a reaction to the vaccine. Especially now that whooping cough has returned.

11:02 am

helensgirlkid

We have huge numbers of children out of school here right now - they have been forbidden to come to school until the measles outbreak is over, for their own protection. Now we have one of the mothers saying she feels she's being bullied.

11:02 am

MLFAN17

cyber i dont have it but looking as well

11:03 am

NonnieLight

My niece was exposed to whooping cough while in the hospital when she was born. It about killed her...our little miracle baby, she was! They assume this is when she was exposed since another baby that was born during the same stay also got whooping cough. Very dangerous.

11:03 am

MimiCat

Too bad for that mother...people like that create epidemics that the rest of us end up paying for in more ways than one1

11:03 am

Wolvie

cant help myself- better that mom feeling bullied than those unvaccinated kids being in school

11:03 am

rururocks

mimi are you writing to scrabs about this?\

11:03 am

rururocks

11:04 am

MimiCat

I'm waiting until I hear from my son this morning to see what they're telling them now and then I might.

going to fold laundry..bye dear babblers

1:47 pm

Nef

I *personally* need some rewiring too, Annie. Lately it seems I can't finish anything at all! I started cleaning off my desk; then started cleaning out the grandson's toybox in the family room, and have also started cleaning in what I want to call the hobby room (but grandson refers to it as "the electric room")!

1:47 pm

Aloyisius

bye, Annie.. (-:

1:47 pm

Nef

Now my whole house is a mess (& I should get back to organizing it while he is at preschool!)

1:48 pm

MollyL

Fractured action

1:48 pm

Aloyisius

lol, have done that too, Nef.. but sometimes a good cleaning requires making a mess first

1:48 pm

Aloyisius

you just have to make one mess at a time

1:50 pm

Nef

I know. My desk had to be done because the cable company asked where the cable line came in the house; was it through a plate or a hole? I had to move furniture to find out!

1:51 pm

MollyL

That annoys me. They wired the place, you would think they know where they wired it into.

1:51 pm

MollyL

We had the same thing happen at work.

1:52 pm

Nef

The toybox got started because we couldn't close it anymore; and I started the "electric room" last week when we put 4X$ inch blocks under DH's chair so he could get out of it easier.

1:53 pm

Nef

(That was 4 X4 inch blocks

1:53 pm

MollyL

Sounds like too much to do and not enough people doing it.

1:54 pm

Forgot to say thanks for all the help - finished about 15 minutes ago

1:55 pm

Nef

That IS the problem, Molly. DH doesn't do much; our son has been trying to work by sitting near a public WiFi in the car (because he works from home here) and the grandson is only TOO eager to "help" (which doesn't get anything done)

1:55 pm

Nef

YAY, gran!!! WTG!!!
