hi dizgrannie :) Nice going! I just found 91, lol.
3:34 am
grannyrose

cooee and g'day. {{hugs}} sprite. wb diz. my wretched laptop just crashed. all seems okay now.
3:35 am
sprite

*hugs rose* Good evening dear one :D Good to hear you are feeling well after the infusion
3:37 am
grannyrose

just as well with running round having blood te4s and x-rays done. and yes, the pics look weird. the head of one screw is standing proud of the bone by a good 1/4-1/2 inch.
3:37 am
sprite

ah! That is not a good thing. Might well cause you all that pain.
3:39 am
sprite

what did they say about it?
3:39 am
grannyrose

will find out on friday, honey.
3:40 am
sprite

ok. That proud screwhead stands out by a LOT.
3:42 am
grannyrose

i was wondering if the compression sock pressure has made it become more painful.
3:42 am
sprite

no doubt. Everything that puts pressure on it must be causing pain.
3:43 am
grannyrose

i have to wear the sock because that ankle swells so badly, no matter what the weather.
3:44 am
sprite

maybe you can cut out a circle at the location of the screw.
3:44 am
grannyrose

it is relatively simple bit of surgery to remove the screw totally.
3:45 am
sprite

yes, I meant until then
3:45 am

4:19 am

4:22 am
sprite

Nothing full-time ,Liz though there are funds there for other things should i be offered a more substantial position.
6:51 am

Is it likely that they'll offer you something else - is that what you're hoping? Are you looking for anything?
6:51 am

I am actually looking to further my own education at one of the local colleges or universities, but we shall see how that goes...
6:52 am
Lizlin

That'd be wonderful - I certainly got the idea that you were enjoying the courses you were doing and I think it's great to have the opportunity to further your education.
6:53 am

Algonquin in Ottawa offers a great many communication courses, and if not one of the smaller local colleges

I used to be terrible for processing as well ,Liz. I was so glad when digital photography came into being. it was embarrassing in the past at how many rolls of undeveloped 35mm and 110mm film i had laying about:)

Okay, ... I am having a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) on Thursday. Who here has some advice? They didn't tell me much except to drink extra water.
11:39 am
car.eeyore

Just breathe. Its pressure but not too bad.
11:39 am
ch1212

Did yours have the fluoroscope to help locate the right spot?
11:39 am
car.eeyore

The first needle in, the anesthetic, is the worst part.
11:40 am

Trif just had one a few weeks ago and they just did it in the ER...no fluoroscope.

How long is the recovery time?

No advice here, Ch1212, But I wish you well during and afterwards for a speedy recovery :-)
11:41 am
car.eeyore

They told her to lie flat for an hour. She has had some discomfort now and then, but not too bad.
11:42 am
car.eeyore

I am going for my second injection into my back next week. I know it is a different procedure, but I had hardly any down time.
11:42 am
ch1212

Thanks, zooz and car. That's reassuring. Car, I wish you well too.
11:43 am
car.eeyore

The best thing you can do is breathe and relax. It makes it so much easier.
11:43 am
ch1212

I can breathe. My beloved wants to come in and hold my hand. Is that allowed?
11:44 am
car.eeyore

During a regular one, yes. But I am not sure with the fluorscope. My hubby can't come in for my injections because they use an x-ray type of machine.
11:44 am
car.eeyore

Bring a small stuffed animal just in case.
11:45 am
ch1212

oh, that makes sense. ---lol! I actually have a fluffly little kitty that he gave me on Valentine's day! Maybe I'll bring that along :)

The word "ladette" has been coined to describe young women who take part in laddish behaviour. It is defined by the Concise Oxford Dictionary as: "Young women who behave in a boisterously assertive or crude manner and engage in heavy drinking sessions."
