hi Rose
2:16 am
grannyrose

hi flosey
2:16 am
VolleymomDee

((((((rose)))) great to see you!!
2:17 am
rururocks

wow.. are you done rose? congrats
2:17 am
grannyrose

{{{{{{dee}}}}}}} lovely to be here.
2:17 am
grannyrose

thanx ruru.
2:18 am
VolleymomDee

How are you doing, rose?
2:18 am
grannyrose

i have been in a pretty dark place, dee. but coming up for air now.
2:18 am
flosey

thanks again Dee, got them
2:19 am
VolleymomDee

nice, flosey, yw
2:19 am
VolleymomDee

really glad to hear of improvement, rose. How is your pain?
2:20 am
grannyrose

i had the denervation, dee. 2 weeks ago today. after first 2 days when it was still numb, the pain is starting up again. :-(
2:20 am
VolleymomDee

crap
2:21 am
grannyrose

nice and succinct dee. and the wretched cortisone in my right hip hasn't done the trick either. left hip is terrific.
2:21 am
VolleymomDee

have a friend who is having a similar, chronic nerve pain down one leg... had surgery 3 ye5 ago, and will be having surgery again the 1st week of November
2:22 am
VolleymomDee

Can they try again? Recently had same shot in my left knee, but I think it is starting to wear off...
2:22 am
grannyrose

it's so scary dee. my knee gives way, when i never expect it to do so.
2:23 am
grannyrose

i'm not sure how frequently i can have them. it is cortisone, and i buzz like a bee in a bottle.
2:23 am
VolleymomDee

That is how I fell twice in last 9 years, so I understand that fear.
2:23 am
VolleymomDee

I think at least 4 times a year.
2:24 am
VolleymomDee

So interesting how cortisone affects everyone so differently.
2:24 am
VolleymomDee

When is your next doctor's appt.?
2:25 am
grannyrose

so every 3 months. i might look into it. the second doctor used a different method on my right hip. i am wondering if that was why it hasn't worked as well.
2:25 am
grannyrose

pain doc next wednesday. and we have started the fortnightly infusions of magnesium.
2:25 am
VolleymomDee

could be. Unless they hit the right spot, they do nothing.
2:26 am
VolleymomDee

Does magnesium help you?
2:26 am
grannyrose

magnesium helps with the FM. i really don't want another infusion of ketamine.
2:27 am
VolleymomDee

Bad reaction?
2:28 am
grannyrose

weeellll. when i had the denervation, they gave me ketamine in conjunction with propofol, an anaesthetic drug which knocks you out.
2:29 am
grannyrose

it was like i was in a kaleidoscope. all pink and apricot, and it kept exploding and coming back together again.
2:30 am
VolleymomDee

sounds like a 1960's LSD trip. Maybe ketamine alone won't do that?? Not sure, I know very little about that med.
2:30 am
grannyrose

the nurse was saying...open your eyes, and i am going...nope, no way!!
2:30 am
VolleymomDee

LOL
2:33 am
VolleymomDee

I hope your pain guy can get on top of everything. Really baffles me how quickly pain can appear... seemingly out of nowhere. Truly strange with RA and FM
2:33 am
flosey

Rose, you sure have been through one Hell with all the agonies you've endured
2:33 am
grannyrose

yup!!!
2:35 am
grannyrose

oh, flosey, de4. maybe i should keep my mouth shut. i ne4 to learn to not rant here. i hope i haven't upset anyone.
2:35 am
Kamanjah

Hi, I'm rarely on this time of night (am in Calif). Couldn't help but note the FM and magnesium connection, since I just downed my mag before bed... it helps my muscles not ache so badly and cuts out the leg cramps.
2:35 am
VolleymomDee

We wouldn't ask, rose, if we didn't want to hear. We care how you are.
2:36 am
VolleymomDee

Good to hear, Kam.
2:36 am
Kamanjah

You have to get it out sometimes! The pain can be overbearing. I saw doc today and his advice was " with your body, all things in moderation."
2:36 am
grannyrose

thanx dee. and i hope you all feel comfortable enough to tell me take a long walk off a short pier...
2:37 am
VolleymomDee

Cannot see that happening, Rose. Have certainly heard that same phrase, Kam... just frustrating at times, and overwhelming at others.
2:38 am
Kamanjah

Rose, I'm sorry you hurt, it sucks. I swear by the magnesium - and morphine!
2:38 am
VolleymomDee

Really absurd diseases. Friend of mine just was diagnosed with RA. They cannot get her inflammation or pain under control yet... really feel badly for her.
2:38 am
grannyrose

g'day kam. yes magnesium is great for FM. with my FM it is the muscles which are mostly effected. they are in a constant state of quivering. the magnesium stops that progressing to spasms and cramps.
2:38 am
flosey

Rose, (just stepped out for a minute) No, please understand, I care and just wish there was some way your doctors could aleviate the pain you've been suffering for such a long time
2:39 am
Kamanjah

G'Day Rose!
2:39 am
VolleymomDee

Have they ever tried neurotin for your FM, rose?
2:39 am
grannyrose

thanx flosey. you all are such lovely people.
2:40 am
grannyrose

no dee, i will ask doc. when i see him.
2:40 am
Kamanjah

If it's morning for you, I'll bet you're not feeling so well...the first 3-4 hours of the AM are not good for me. Then, the meds kick in and I finally wake up
2:40 am
VolleymomDee

It is being used in America for the nerve / muscle shaking.
2:41 am
Kamanjah

Neurontin and I didn't get along well at all, but a friend with FM loves her Lyrica, which is pretty much the same thing.
2:41 am
grannyrose

ahhh, it's generic name is gabapentin, and it made my ankles swell and my lungs fill with fluid.
2:42 am
VolleymomDee

Each and every med affects each and every person differently. I think it is the trial and error of the process that gets so maddening.
2:43 am
grannyrose

absolutely, dee. the ketamine infusion over 10 hours works really well, but i have an addictive personality and don't want to push it.
2:43 am
Kamanjah

So true, Dee.
I hope you ladies don't mind me popping into chat...I should be in bed, but hubby was watching a movie, so I was babbling...<grin>
2:44 am
VolleymomDee

Great to hear your input, Kam.
2:44 am
grannyrose

kam, it's lovely to meet you, honey.
2:44 am
VolleymomDee

I can understand that, rose. Wise to wait as long as you can.
2:44 am
Kamanjah

Thanks, hi everyone!
2:46 am
Kamanjah

A ketamine infusion is unheard of here in the States - the docs are so afraid of giving pain meds! I'm lucky to have a doc that understands that I try alternative means on top of the pain meds - I use essential oils a lot, but it takes a lot of research to find the right ones
2:47 am
VolleymomDee

Too bad US is getting so absurd about great meds because of a handful of abusers. Pretty ridiculous, actually.
2:47 am
Kamanjah

We've all been on a long journey to find what works best and then make do with what the docs will give us
2:47 am
grannyrose

it does kam. are your pain docs trained anaesthetists too?
2:48 am
Kamanjah

Dee, you have no idea - unless you suffer pain. They've made it next to impossible to get pain relief!
2:48 am
VolleymomDee

I understand, Kam. I have Rheumatoid and FM
2:48 am
Kamanjah

Rose, my old docs were, but they figured I was stable and ran me off to find someone on my own when I moved from San Francisco to a rural area (only place I could afford a house).
2:49 am
VolleymomDee

Rose, our pain docs in this area usually are anaesthetists, too.
2:49 am
Kamanjah

I just have OA, so lucky it's not RA, but I have psoriasis to deal with too. Not painful, but ugly - another immune thing
2:50 am
VolleymomDee

All immune diseases - really believe all of these are related to all the chemicals we drink, eat, and breathe. We have contaminated this earth.
2:51 am
VolleymomDee

OA is just as painful, unfortunately.
2:51 am
Kamanjah

So, Dee, you do understand. Why are docs so stingy with meds? Because the stupid DEA and FDA and all those other agencies come down on them and threaten their licenses. Not fair to them when they have patients in pain!
2:51 am
meliae

431 wowzers
2:52 am
VolleymomDee

The docs here don't like it any better than we do. Most say it has worsened with Obama. Hopefully, soon, the legislators will wake up.
2:52 am
Kamanjah

I agree about the contamination - I used to be able to eat almost anything - now I can't handle pork, gluten, sugar....my diet is pretty weird now, but I just try to eat fresh.
2:53 am
VolleymomDee

ditto that
2:53 am
grannyrose

don't your pain docs attend seminar on the latest treatments? that is why the docs over here have finally realised how to treat pain with multi-modal techniques.
2:55 am
VolleymomDee

Yes, Rose, but with Obamacare, the "rules" have changed. The docs don't want to be fined or jailed, and the new laws are pretty absurd.
2:55 am
VolleymomDee

It is going to involve heavy lobbying and a lot of other political manipulations to get a balance. Meanwhile, we all go nuts.
2:56 am
grannyrose

that really sucks big time, dee
2:56 am
grannyrose

how about an on-line petition?
2:56 am
VolleymomDee

Definitely. Even getting tramidol now is a big ordeal. I think they just want to shoot us old folks here...
2:57 am
Kamanjah

I was in pain management at Univ of San Francisco pain clinic for years, but now love 120 miles and 3 hours of traffic away. They were up on the latest and greatest since they're a teaching hospital, but I can't get over there now.
2:57 am
VolleymomDee

so sorry to hear that, kam
2:57 am
Kamanjah

LOL, Dee, I SO agree! And, if your profile is up to date, you're younger than I am!
2:58 am
Kamanjah

I like my doc, he listens. He even researches things I tell him and gives me his opinion next time I see him - he likes what I'm teaching him about alternative medicine.
2:59 am
Kamanjah

Not love, LIVE!
2:59 am
VolleymomDee

Just had my 60th birthday. Was diagnosed in '94. I have really been disappointed / saddened by these recent changes in healthcare. All autoimmune diseases are affected by stress; none of this helps!
2:59 am
rururocks

UCSF had a good pain center
2:59 am
meliae

Dee did you see that FM has finally been accepted in the mefical community as a real disease?
2:59 am
rururocks

when was your 60th dee?
3:00 am
VolleymomDee

Sounds like a great relationship, Kam. Is he a rheumatologist or internal med doc?
3:00 am
Kamanjah

Exactly! I'll be 63 next week. Whoop! Too tired to celebrate!
3:00 am
VolleymomDee

Absolutely, Mel. Thank you, Johns Hopkins :)
3:00 am

<---older but not wiser than Dee

I actually screamed when I read it.
3:00 am
VolleymomDee

Happy almost birthday, Kam.
3:01 am
VolleymomDee

I am sure wiser, ru :)
3:01 am
Kamanjah

Thanks :)
3:01 am
rururocks

I didn't celebrate mine either kama
3:02 am
VolleymomDee

LOL, mel. I completely understand that. I lost my doc of over 20 years lately, due to some insurance company issues. I was livid. Now trying to start a new relationship with a new dr... very frustrating.
3:02 am
Kamanjah

At least FM is officially "real." As if we didn't know already! I was diagnosed ages ago - in 1989.
3:03 am
VolleymomDee

My daughter arranged a surprise dinner for me... I was so no into celebrating, I didn't wear make up; walked into restaurant, and thought (scuse my French), oh, shit.
3:03 am
grannyrose

i was officially diagnosed in 2006, but unofficially over 30 ye5 ago.
3:03 am
VolleymomDee

no = not
3:03 am
Kamanjah

Nothing is more frustrating that trying to get to know a new doc! And where I am, they come and go too often, but I think my current doc has put down roots here and will stay for a long time.
3:03 am
rururocks

that's not fair dee
3:04 am
VolleymomDee

No one cared, but me. Thankfully, we didn't do pictures, but dinner was fantastic.
3:04 am
meliae

My insurance all of the sudden will not cover my dermatologist appointments irregardless of the fact that I have already had skin cancer, have 2 types of skin diseases that are high cancer risks, my GP is mad and mystified
3:05 am
VolleymomDee

Fingers crossed on that, Kam.
3:05 am
Kamanjah

Can't beat a fantastic dinner! Sans pics would have been good for me too. Pardon all of my typos...
3:05 am
VolleymomDee

Completely ridiculous, mel.
3:05 am
grannyrose

news here is that the government is legislating to make medicinal cannabis legal.... finally..
3:05 am
rururocks

my doctor is at UCSF too kama
3:06 am
VolleymomDee

Several of our states have, rose, not in Indiana, yet. Mel, in what state do you live?
3:06 am
meliae

Oregon
3:06 am
rururocks

Pot isn't legal here..but we pretend it is in California
3:06 am
Kamanjah

Yep, every time I talk to him I check...he likes the rural area as he is a horse person, and he really cares about his patients. He's so popular now that it takes a month to get an appt! So I make mine WELL in advance!
3:07 am
VolleymomDee

lol, ru
3:07 am
meliae

Marijuana is legal here but you cannot get pain meds if you are a cannabis user.
3:07 am
Kamanjah

Pot isn't Federally legal - but if you have your doc letter/card/whatever, it is legal in CA for personal medical use.
3:08 am
Kamanjah

Mel - in CA?
3:08 am
meliae

Or if you have a card,
3:08 am
meliae

No Oregon
3:08 am
VolleymomDee

Interesting, mel. Sure hope your doc can figure out what the issue is with dermatologist...
3:08 am
rururocks

I used to live in Oregon for 5 years.. nice state
3:08 am
VolleymomDee

I don't think it is legal at any level now (in Indiana)
3:08 am
meliae

Other drs and insurances might allow it, but mine doesn't
3:09 am
Kamanjah

I never heard of insurance covering medical marijuana before
3:09 am
rururocks

hmmm.. we'll have to change rose's name to grannypothead
3:10 am
VolleymomDee

LOL what a hoot!!
3:10 am

3:23 am
VolleymomDee

I literally had no clue. My birthday week was bizarre - new house being built next door; contractor cut our cable line, so we had no TV or computer for almost 2 days; finally gets fixed; same day our a/c went out and we had to spend 10K for a new a/c system (in a 9 year old house grrr); brother came to visit in midst of all that, so by the time we were supposed to go to dinner, I was worn out.
3:23 am
grannyrose

sweet dreams ruru. btw, did you check out my new icon?
3:23 am

oh wow dee

I did.. looks like you guys had a good time. Kiwi is a hoot I bet
3:24 am

Probably good that all happened, so I didn't focus on the number (which has me freaked out)
3:24 am
VolleymomDee

Great photo, rose!!
3:24 am

she sure is ruru. you are gonna have to look her up when you get to NZ
3:24 am

my brother asked me what I was doing for my birthday and I said I was going to sit in the corner with the lights out :D
3:25 am

thanx dee. ;-)
3:26 am
rururocks

yes.. hopefully someday when I can get away for a month from the biz
3:26 am
VolleymomDee

I totally empathize! YQW, rose! Had a freaky week last week... a friend of my husband's, his son, a basketball coach at a nearby school, and race car driver Tony Elliott (all from our small town) were killed in a freak airplane crash.
3:27 am
VolleymomDee

they were flying from Warsaw to the Notre Dame game at Clemson; crashed one mile from airport.
3:27 am
grannyrose

that is terrible dee. too much heartache all at once. xoxox
3:27 am
rururocks

wow.
3:28 am
VolleymomDee

Pilot was my hubby's friend; impeccable record. Neared airport 5 miles from Clemson; controller told them to get into holding pattern (too much rain / water on runway, so other planes were not taking off quickly). When they banked to turn to "get in line", windshear from mountains made plane spiral downward and crash.
3:30 am
VolleymomDee

Tony and his wife lived in our daughter's neighborhood. Wife didn't want him to travel (had an intuitive feeling)... deaths are impacting our small towns pretty severely.
3:31 am
VolleymomDee

I honestly did not realize how famous Tony was. Charlie had been a banker for a bunch of years and was really well liked and known by many.
3:32 am
VolleymomDee

Definitely puts life in perspective.

That's good - is it really 4 weeks since the last one? Where did that time go?
3:41 am

How's the knee doing?
3:42 am

it's only been 2 weeks. i am now on fortnightly magnesium without the ketamine. knee is being a right ***.

So the denervation didn't work?

So back to the drawing board with the job, but lots to do for the house - early days yet!
3:45 am

Slipped on a wet patch on kitchen tiles - bruised ribs.
3:45 am

Great about the house - b**ger about the job.
3:45 am

oh no liz. anything broken? or just your pride?
3:45 am

Kitchen floor is very hard!
3:46 am

Neither! Felt lucky that the glass bottle didn't cut me!
3:46 am

and you wonder why i want vinyl tiles....
3:46 am
Lizlin

Incredibly sore though!
3:46 am
grannyrose

did you fall on your backside?
3:47 am
Lizlin

couldn't work out why hubby was telling me not to move - then i thought about the glass!
3:47 am
Lizlin

No, left hand side - broke the fall with my arm.
3:47 am

are you using arnica on your bruises?
3:47 am
Lizlin

No - just using paracetamol.

Down to x2 a day.

oh man

aw scrabbs - we had a similar farming accident this week. three young sisters (11 yr old twins and 13 years old) - fell into a canola seed bin and suffocated - i don't know how you do it
9:20 am
Scrabbler

Plus it is sick season and mothers become irrational about runny noses and coughing so when a kid dies the minor stuff is, well, minor.
9:20 am
welki

(not similar - don't know how that word popped in there - must need more coffee)
9:21 am
Scrabbler

Oh, no, welki. Terrible!! A soon-to-be father died in a similar farm accident last year.
9:21 am
hurshy

so many fewer children die these days than they did historically, for the parents who DO lose kids, it must be even harder and harder to find support and people who understand what it's like
9:22 am
Scrabbler

Welki, I am heartbroekn for those parents, for their overwhelming pain and sadness.
9:23 am
rolin

three kids at once..you'd be inconsolable
9:23 am
Scrabbler

Hurshy, which is why so many parents see no reason to immunize their children.
9:23 am
welki

for what it's worth, they're part of a very strong and caring community. but i don't know if they'll ever know a 'normal' life again
9:24 am

No, even losing one child leaves an empty hole forever.

It is nine years old that film and I still have not watched it yet..lol
10:05 am

10:18 am

I think the HO 12 is a stretch for a word
10:53 am
MLFAN17

think of your voice when you need to clear your throut
10:53 am
MLFAN17

thraot
10:53 am
MLFAN17

throat sorry
10:53 am

car doesn't seem like it should be a real word if it actually is or not?
10:53 am

aha, ok, so 6, 7, 9, 10, 12 ?
10:54 am
zoozzoom

Thanks, Mlf :-)
10:54 am
MLFAN17

yes hurshy
10:54 am
MLFAN17

yw zooz
10:54 am
car.eeyore

exactly
10:54 am
hurshy

so the 11 is something else entirely?
10:54 am
MLFAN17

yes
10:54 am
MollyL

te
10:54 am
car.eeyore

Yes
10:54 am
MLFAN17

te 9 and 11
10:55 am
MLFAN17

they go together
10:55 am
hurshy

ah i see, same deal, i hadn't pluralled the 9
10:55 am
zoozzoom

Put the loch monster on the end of the TE 5/10 before it. then pluralise for the 12
10:55 am
MollyL

Used in a very ungrammatical sentence: Everyone had laryngitis so there was a lot of ho12 in the room.
10:56 am
hurshy

there WERE a lot of ho12
10:56 am
zoozzoom

for the 11 sorry.
10:56 am
hurshy

there WAS a lot of ho10
10:56 am
MLFAN17

just got to 200 words ..231 left
10:56 am
hurshy

:)
10:56 am
MollyL

Yeah, but that seems to work better with the 10 not the 12. The 12 is just dumb.
10:58 am
MLFAN17

just got ne 6/7
10:58 am
MollyL

The doctor could not deal with all the ho12 caused by the throat infection. (Still dumb)
10:58 am

car.eeyore

wow...found all the N's. Let me know if you need any of them.
11:01 am
hurshy

i ne4 one of them but i do not have list so you would have to guess
11:02 am
car.eeyore

The only strange one in the bunch is NE 5/10 which is a plural without a single before it. All the rest are normal words with various extensions
11:03 am
hurshy

ok thanks that helps
11:04 am
hurshy

so besides the ho10, what are the other 10s
11:04 am
MollyL

Dickens was a fine writer. And relevant to the time in which he wrote. But no one speaks like that anymore. (Nor should they)
11:04 am
car.eeyore

I have a DE 10/84
11:04 am
hurshy

well i still mostly read 19th century stuff so it all seems normal to me :)
11:04 am
car.eeyore

it builds off a DE 4/6, 6/24, and 8/50
11:05 am

With a grid this big, you can't trust what people say in chat about the number of a certain group of words. You really need to consult the list for accuracy.

12:14 pm
kje

sure
12:15 pm
Anniebrook

kje, I had the shingles vaccine years ago, got shingles 4 years ago, not too much rash, got it again..practically no rash...I am taking Valtrex..can I also take Aleve to help with the pain
12:16 pm
kje

yes
12:16 pm
kje

have you tried tylenol?
12:16 pm
Anniebrook

thanks for the advice...hope this doesnt last long
12:17 pm
rururocks

can't believe all the people I know that have come down with shingles. you got it AFTER you did the vaccine annie?
12:17 pm
Anniebrook

Is tylenol better than Aleve?. kje
12:17 pm
Anniebrook

ruru, yes I had the vaccine and about a year later got shingles.
12:17 pm
rururocks

wow
12:18 pm
kje

tylenol doesn't work well if not taken scheduled - it doesn't work well once the pain is really high. You can take 2 extra strength tylenol 3 times daily safely (that is age adjusted) and it works well as a basal pain reliever. Than take alive as needed in addition.
12:18 pm
MollyL

I was just thinking the same thing, Ru. What is it with so many people getting shingles all of a sudden?
12:18 pm
rururocks

so much for the efficacy of that vaccine
12:18 pm
MollyL

<---Doesn't believe in vaccines
12:18 pm
rururocks

I got my vaccine at 60.. so far so good
12:18 pm
kje

You should not take aleve longer than two weeks. It is contraindicated in older adults for long term use
12:18 pm
Anniebrook

kje, thanks for the help
12:19 pm
kje

12:19 pm

I would do Jack Daniels and oxycodone for the pain annie.. just like everyone else around here :D
12:19 pm
Anniebrook

okay, kje
12:20 pm
rururocks

(note to lurkers... that was a JOKE)
12:20 pm
Anniebrook

ruru, I have the Jack Daniels. I have to scrounge up some oxy. Will asked high placed friends. :)
12:20 pm
kje

so in general, not knowing your other history (so if some reason not to use tylenol for example) I would recommend two extra strength tylenol (1000mg) three times daily until the attack is over, then aleve only as needed for pain above that
12:21 pm
kje

if you only have regular strength tylenol at home, you can take 3 regular strength (975mg) three times daily - scheduled, not only as needed, scheduled like a blood pressure med, etc
12:21 pm
rururocks

isn't the build up of acetaminophen bad for you too though Doc?
12:22 pm
kje

I gave her the recommended dose based on her age
12:22 pm
rururocks

I'm sure you're right.. but I've been reading such terrible things about Excedrin and Tylenol etc
12:22 pm
Anniebrook

Im okay with Tylenol. Aleve seems to work better though. Will start the Tylenol regimen.
12:22 pm
MollyL

I very rarely need anything for pain and when I do I take aspirin. Salicylic acid derived from the willow tree.
12:23 pm
rururocks

I have pain meds.. but only for headaches usually
12:23 pm
Anniebrook

and so, does anyone have a clue for el 6 ?
12:24 pm
rururocks

el + vowel.. plus most of not alive
12:25 pm
kje

that is why you should take it scheduled for a while, annie - tylenol works better to relieve pain before the p fibers are maximally firing, so it works better to prevent pain than treat it once revved up. We commonly use SCHEDULED tylenol for post op hip fracture patients after day 1 as their primary pain reliever and they do well - as long as done scheduled with something for breakthrough pain if needed
12:25 pm
Anniebrook

thanks
12:25 pm
Anniebrook

will do, kje and thanks again
12:25 pm

I don't need a spreadsheet of personal goals. And I don't need to keep up with them, I know they are other people's goals, not mine. My comment was due to the fact that I didn't understand Pen's post about "one". But thanks for all the input.

There's a lot of stuff we say here that is just plain old fun. The penalty box actually became a semi-real *place* once upon a time; the monkeys *help* us type nonsense words; the cabana boys just are all figments of our collective imaginations. That is part of what Babble is & was to many people; it's just a fun thing to chat about.

i think the monkeys are an extension of the infinite number of same that would eventually reproduce shakespeare, my take anyway

i think using monkeys is another way of saying that one is trying to finagle words out of letters that don't seem to mean anything....

Chrissie - McGuyver was a popular tv show here (US) in the 80's, i believe. The central character was famous for finagling solutions. Thus the faux verb 'mcguyver'

Molly, I don't know you at all or anything about you.

I have never been to Florida so far. DH & I have always thought we'd travel after retiring; but he seems to get sick almost every time we plan to go. At least we had a nice trip this past August (with our son & grandson along)
