hi Rose, just came back - thought I was going to get an early night tonight
1:58 am
grannyrose

hi flosey. your head still buzzing, hin?
1:58 am
flosey

yup
1:59 am
flosey

hate to do it but maybe I should speak to the dr about it
1:59 am
grannyrose

poor you.
2:01 am
flosey

constant buzzing - sounds like a head full of cicadas
2:03 am
grannyrose

flosey, do you have tinnitis?
2:04 am
flosey

that's what I think it is
2:04 am
flosey

has not been diagnosed
2:04 am
flosey

have never spoken about it with the dr
2:05 am
grannyrose

might be an idea, flosey. there are some meds which can help.
2:08 am
flosey

I know I miss a lot of conversations due to it - one on one is ok, it's when there are others entering into conversation and looking at other people when talking
2:09 am
grannyrose

that's hard for you, flosey.
2:10 am
flosey

very frustrating - sometimes just close it all out
2:10 am
flosey

except for the ringing!!
2:15 am
grannyrose

oh, dear! i know that feeling/sound. i have bad tinnitus in my right ear, and to a certain extent in my left. you close your eyes to sleep and all you can hear is the pitched squealing noise.
2:15 am
rururocks

I had that once. It is very upsetting
2:16 am
grannyrose

g'day ruru
2:16 am
flosey

did you have it attended to ru? or did it just go away?
2:16 am
rururocks

Mine went away
2:17 am
flosey

I've just kept hoping it would, maybe time to look into it
2:18 am
rururocks

Have you checked you blood pressure lately?
2:19 am
flosey

yes and I think I should have my machine checked - have had it maybe 5 years - did change batteries but no different, was a bit higher than usual
2:19 am
flosey

I do have meds for that
2:20 am
rururocks

That might be a contributor to it
2:22 am
flosey

thanks Ru and Rose, I will see Dr
2:23 am

don is definitely feeling better. he ate dinner.btw, did you cook the fried rice?
4:10 am

I can imagine :( I think it is a very good idea to speed up the appointment. And take it from there. If only we lived closer together :(

Goooooooooood morning fellow Babblers xx
4:10 am

don't you have local nurses there, who can come in once or twice a day to help? We have here.
4:10 am

don is so proud, really. he won't like knowing he can't take care of me.
4:11 am

hey worzel, me nephew, how's life?

a few problems with the hips, son. how is princess diane?
4:18 am
worzel

Awww Diane is stunning as always. She's just gotten up and sitting next to me on the sofa, outshining the morning sun that has graced us with it's presence! Sorry to hear about your hips, I'll come round and give them a massage if you like xx
4:18 am
sprite

when you get there, you should stay for a bit and help take care of rose post op!
4:19 am
grannyrose

oh, no you won't. that is strictly hands off territory. it hurts too much. xoxoxox diane, dear
4:19 am
worzel

She says hello, Mum! And what's this operation about? xx
4:21 am
grannyrose

sweetie, i have torn both tendons in both hips. i am going to see my ortho surgeon to see what he wants to do. dad's shoulder is still giving him gyp. so i cannot have the hips operated on until dad can take care of me.
4:22 am
sprite

how about the question I had about the local nurses, rose?
4:22 am
worzel

I shall send you both a healing angel, if you agree xx
4:25 am
grannyrose

good idea, sprite. he would come at the idea of visiting nurses i think.
4:25 am
grannyrose

ta son.
4:26 am
worzel

welcome Mum and give Dad my best wishes and tell him to stop fannying around pretending to be ill - typical man! Me ma needs looking after!!! xx
4:26 am
sprite

that would be good, rose. If a nurse can help you once or twice a day, Don can do the rest... pride saved, situation solved. I don't think you have the luxury to postpone these ops much longer. You are in too much pain.
4:27 am
grannyrose

roflol, wor.....nuh uh, not going to say that to him. you do it!!
4:27 am
worzel

brb doggie needs the garden x
4:32 am

so, sprite?? did you end up cooking the fried rice or not?
4:33 am
sprite

I did and it was delish! We all loved the recipe. Will certainly cook it again.
4:34 am
grannyrose

the five spice makes all the difference doesn't it?
4:35 am
sprite

absolutely. Such a great blend of flavours.
4:35 am
grannyrose

and once it is in the pan, it pretty much does itself. i think that's the best part.
4:37 am
sprite

yeah the preparation takes most of the time, after that it is easy sailing :)
4:38 am
grannyrose

i hope it didn't wear you out too much.
4:39 am
sprite

I don't know what did, actually, but I had a very bad night and then yesterday morning I was so incredibly tired that I went back to bed... and slept till dinner. Sigh.
4:40 am
grannyrose

you just needed to sleep. you did have that atrocious night a few days back, remember?
4:41 am
sprite

yeah that is true, and then a similar one from friday to saturday. Am definitely feeling a little better today.
4:42 am
grannyrose

ugh...you poor thing. that makes sense then...
4:42 am
sprite

just minor stuff, rose, compared to your situation. I count my blessings.
4:43 am
grannyrose

aww, bless you, dear. i think we are on a par actually.
4:44 am
sprite

*hugs* let me know what you can find out about visiting nurses. And of course what the ortho says.
4:46 am

tomorrow, will call the ortho. and will go from there, okay?

Now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!! This morning I have been watching some of my favorite musical duo's on You Tube, and I have one that i would like to share with you. There are many good singers out there, but as i went through some of the more modern stuff, I found that the two people singing seemed more concerned with how they appeared to the audience than how well they performed with their singing partner, and as a result they ended up with a cold and sterile delivery. I had to go back a little bit to find one that I wanted to share but this one by Neil Diamond & Barbara Streisand is a perfect example of how it should be done. They are singing to each other, and not the audience. You can almost feel the heat of lost love rekindling itself as they sing for each other and let some of what they are trying to express leak out into the audience for all those watching them to share. A older song, but one well worth sharing, with Barb's voice at its best. http://tinyurl.com/k645fmz

I remember living up noth you had to take special care that you had proper tire inflation on your car during the winter because if the tire was under-pressurized and it got down to -45 minus 50, you would end up with a temporary flat spot on your ties and you would have to go real slow until the rubber found its proper shape once more

Not sure about anyone else, but if I had small children and sent them out to play today, I could get arrested for child abuse. It's negative 10 with the wind chill.

... we haven't had your snow ... but I've been religous about shoveling every two to three hours ... don't get it done and get laughed at by younger neighbours ... but in the morning I've got 3 inches on the driveway when they've got a foot to do
10:17 am

I am on board with that too, Doseffing, but not with this wind...and most of the snow came overnight.
10:23 am

Self-deprecation is the act of reprimanding oneself. Self-depreciation, in contrast, is belittling, undervaluing, or disparaging oneself, or being excessively modest.

Jes, the vet that is coming to my house isn't actually my current vet. Though she will be now. She is one that is a house call vet. She is coming to me this evening at 6:30 and she doesn't even know me from adam.

ah. well, it's good someone's available, then. A lot of doctors don't do home euthanasia, so it's good that's available too.
11:39 am

yes. She is a well loved local vet that left the practice she was part of and started up this home vet service. I have heard wonderful things about her and her great love for animals is already apparent to me.

facebook to me is more of a gateway drug, just to get to where I really want to be, playing a few of the games. but you can't help but notice a lot on the way through. :p
1:17 pm

We have a Babble community that Crossy created for us where we can be in touch.

they make it easier to get pants on....easier than cotton or flannel ones...

I have Reynaud's as well, and silk is very helpful... long johns, sock liners, glove liners...

i wear lined gloves inside of wool mittens, nrkii. mittens are my bestest friends some days.
2:06 pm
rururocks

brutal cold out here lately is 60 degrees
2:06 pm
nrkii

yeah, jes, I often find it's better to go gloveless to avoid a Raynaud's episode. Oddly enough bare hands sometimes are better than gloved. Mittens are awesome but so hard to do anything in them.
2:07 pm
penquis

ru...that is the temp of our ocean in the summer... ;o)

2:07 pm
rururocks

our ocean is always freezing out here
2:07 pm
penquis

freezing to you would probably be warm to us....
2:08 pm
jesdraggon

gloveless = serious pain for me. mittens mean I can usually accomplish chores without my fingers being dead-flesh purple followed by re-perfusion pain.

Jes, depends on what I have to do... if it's just walking from house to car, or car to office, I can go bare-handed. If I have to shovel, I must wear gloves and/or mittens.
2:10 pm
penquis

i went swimming once at the end of June and my feet went numb....
2:10 pm
penquis

hi worzel...
2:10 pm
jesdraggon

heh. i had ice cream last night, which caused my hands to go numb and purple. i am so broken.
2:10 pm
worzel

hi penquis
2:10 pm
nrkii

I went swimming in July in Maine, and lost feeling in my feet. But I loved it!
2:10 pm
jesdraggon

my cousin laughed at me because I was huddled in a heavy coat and driving gloves, eating ice cream.
2:11 pm
hego

Hi Worzel
2:11 pm
worzel

hiya hego
2:11 pm
nrkii

Jes, that's definitely worse than me. I can usually get away with ice cream as long as I don't hold the container for too long.
2:12 pm
jesdraggon

it makes me sad, because I used to love going out in winter; snow mobiling, or sledding, or riding my pony in the snow, and now I can barely get out to feed him without issues.
2:13 pm
nrkii

Oh jes, how old were you when your Raynaud's came on? I was 22 or 23.
2:13 pm
Aloyisius

hi worzel.. we are still reading the manual and I'm laughing.. should have read it 15 years ago!
2:13 pm
worzel

hi aloyisius
2:13 pm
jesdraggon

in retrospect started showing signs? or when it was diagnosed? signs probably 1996ish, diagnosed in 2005ish
2:14 pm
jesdraggon

so i'd have been 19 or 20 when i started noticing cold/white/numb finger tips but didn't realize it was an actual issue.
2:14 pm
nrkii

I don't know how old you are now, and don't mean to pry. Just a different disease if it shows up early vs. later.
2:15 pm
nrkii

Oh... that's good. Early!
2:15 pm
jesdraggon

just thought, 'huh, that's weird' but they always warmed up quickly and didn't hurt at that point.
2:15 pm
nrkii

Mine came on in 1991, and I was diagnosed about a week later because I freaked out completely.
2:16 pm
nrkii

First time it happened, it took 20 minutes to get the circulation back in my 2 affected fingers.
2:16 pm
nrkii

I had never heard of Raynaud's, and I'm a hypochondriac, so I figured I was dying.
2:17 pm
jesdraggon

i hadn't heard of it either, and didn't even mention it to the doctor - was an 'incidental' diagnosis, because my toes turned purple sitting in the exam room waiting for the doctor to arrive one time when I was in for my routine yearly
2:19 pm
nrkii

I remember visiting my brother's house several years ago, and they keep their house so cold that when I walked barefoot on the bathroom floor just before bed I ended up losing feeling in almost all my toes. It took about half an hour of a lot of discomfort to get them back to normal.
2:21 pm
jesdraggon

tried meds/they help at all? doc put me on calcium channel blocker but I quit after 1 dose because it caused migraine. yay.
2:22 pm
nrkii

No, I just deal with lifestyle changes. Keep emergency supplies in my car, and am careful not to ignore possible issues.
2:26 pm
nrkii

Is there a T4 missing from the list?
2:27 pm
jesdraggon

dunno, haven't listed. I have te4, to4x3, tr4x4, tu4, and ty4 but am missing 2 t's

What are they titled, Pen? Will look into them.
4:36 pm
penquis

just go to Amazon and search for Matthew Shardlake mysteries....CJ Ransom (sp?) is the author....but i would not call them uplifting.....and no humor.....just good historical novels...

Zooz, if you rummaged around in your carboot sales for any of John Irvings novels, you would be doing yourself a huge favour. I almost got put off an aeroplane once for laughing so hysterically at The Hotel New Hampshire.

Dunno if I ever said it before on Babble, but isn't Zooz a lovely person? He stays away from the drama, he is always pleasant. We are lucky to have him in our midst. Just thought I'd mention it. I'm off to bed now too. Night all.
