{{hugs}} and good morning dearest sprite
2:03 am
grannyrose

how have you been? did the magnesium help the other day?
2:04 am
sprite

*hugs rose* Hello my dearest friend. Yeah, the magnesium did make a difference. Still does, tbh. Somehow my body isn't cooperating muchly atm.
2:05 am
flosey

fw and off to bed, goodnight all
2:05 am
sprite

but: good news from the internist. Everything is looking good, except the liver values, which he thinks is a result from my meds, so cannot be helped right now, and the vitamin D which was way way way too low again.
2:05 am
sprite

wtg flosey, and sleep well, dear lady
2:06 am
grannyrose

WTG FLOSEY!!!! sweet dreams dear flosey
2:07 am
grannyrose

ugh on the liver results honey. are you on vit D supplements?
2:08 am
sprite

yes, daily, lol. But I also have ampoules from a belgian doctor friend. the internist told me to start taking those again, once a month, and keep up with the dailies too.
2:09 am
sprite

otherwise a clean bill of health! Good, isn;t it? Must report back in a year.
2:10 am
sprite

oh and I asked about the rash/eczema. It isn't something they see a lot of there. But he said that doesn't mean it isn't related to the weight loss. He said losing so much weight is stress for the body, and stress can be expressed in many ways.
2:14 am
sprite

looks like I lost our rose!
2:14 am
grannyrose

ahhhh, so all is under control then except for your crazy head...
2:14 am
sprite

all except my crazy head and the vit. D, yes.
2:14 am
grannyrose

loll you wish xoxox
2:15 am
sprite

no I don't, lol. Stay. Here. Don't ever leave me!
2:15 am
grannyrose

btw, i have finished sorting, folding and ironing the clean washing. and all put away too.
2:16 am
sprite

good job! How have you been for the rest?
2:16 am
grannyrose

3 weeks worth.. *sigh*. doing so well this time. don has noticed the difference too.
2:17 am
sprite

awesome! Now be sure to keep dem ketamine levels up, ya hear? Better a week too early than a day too late.
2:19 am
grannyrose

i hear you. also the temperature sings are less. still feel a little over warm, but mostly feeling the cold. it's so nice ;-)
2:20 am
grannyrose

ugh... swings
2:20 am
sprite

that is so nice, rose. I am so happy for you.
2:21 am
grannyrose

one day honey, when all the rest has settled for you, hopefully you will find a doctor who can help you the same way as my dr. john
2:21 am
sprite

yeah dem temperature sings. Cannot be helped by a band aid. Ketamine is such a good alt-ernative
2:21 am
sprite

from your mouth to the Big Guy's ear, honey.
2:22 am
grannyrose

* rolls eyes* BAND aid??? groaning....
2:22 am
sprite

did you like my ruru impersonation? :D
2:23 am
grannyrose

no-one does it like ruru... lolll. i like you just the way you are.. xoxox
2:24 am
sprite

*grins* Thanks.... I think
2:24 am
grannyrose

say, that would make a great song...
2:24 am
sprite

hm yeah. if I may propose a small change... I'd say 'love you just the way you are'
2:25 am
sprite

maybe billy joel can sing it!
2:25 am
grannyrose

oh yeah... okay, then... i love you just the way you are.
2:25 am
sprite

*giggles* And vice versa, my dear, and vice versa.
2:28 am
grannyrose

you don't even ne4 a cherry on top...*giggle* just a little whipped cream...
2:29 am
sprite

<--- hates whipped cream. So no, forget the cream. Take me plain as plain.
2:29 am
grannyrose

and maybe some grated chocolate... hmmm
2:29 am
sprite

oh, the internist said to take no more than one fruit a day :( Back to low on carbs for me.
2:29 am
grannyrose

you are never gonna be plain, honey
2:30 am
sprite

does that mean I should stop trying?
2:30 am
grannyrose

lollll you are always going to be trying.... very trying...
2:31 am
sprite

roflollll
2:32 am
grannyrose

omg a 34 kilogram pearl... has been kept under a phillipino fisherman's bed since he found it
2:33 am
sprite

good grief. The man's nights must have been an ordeal
2:34 am
grannyrose

looks like it has come from a giant clam. last one sold for US$42 million dollars
2:35 am
grannyrose

imagine it as a pendant...talk about millstone around your neck.
2:35 am
sprite

looked it up, amazing
2:37 am
grannyrose

what could you do with it? you couldn't break it up, that would destroy the uniqueness of it.
2:37 am
sprite

I'd sell it to the highest bidder
2:38 am
grannyrose

*sigh* well i will never have to make a decision about something like that.
2:39 am
sprite

a shame, isn't it? I'd gladly make that decision right now
2:39 am
grannyrose

*giggling*
2:40 am
grannyrose

i am making minestrone soup for the community lunch on friday. it's amazing how many different recipes there are.
2:40 am
sprite

oh I bet
2:42 am
grannyrose

the one i am using ne4s beef shanks and pork belly. i am going to use diced beef, cut very finely, and a pork rib, using as much as i can of that.
2:43 am
sprite

sounds good to me
2:43 am
sprite

that B in the corner is being snarky
2:43 am
Glantarell

Morning all
2:44 am
grannyrose

and i am not using dried kidney beans. i think the tinned variety wasn't available when most of the recipes were written
2:44 am
sprite

morning Glant!
2:44 am
Glantarell

That 8 in the corner has a very English expression of surprise
2:44 am
grannyrose

ey ya glant. long time no see. how are you?
2:44 am
Glantarell

2:45 am
Glantarell

2:45 am
grannyrose

2:45 am
Glantarell

2:45 am
grannyrose

*grins* atta girl glant
2:46 am
Glantarell

my low carb way of eating is bringing good results, i just grew into and straight out of a pair of jeans LOL
2:46 am
sprite

woot good job!
2:46 am
Glantarell

and my work uniform, which I thought might be too small, fits perfectly...
2:47 am
sprite

well done!
2:47 am
grannyrose

oh dear.... cut them off to useas shorts, with different coloured tights underneath.
2:47 am
Glantarell

and I haven't had a migraine in over 4 months
2:47 am
sprite

that is even better
2:48 am
grannyrose

and use brightly coloured braces to hold them up
2:48 am
Glantarell

it's the waist and hips of the jeans that are too big, they were a charity shop buy, and I have a smaller apir ready and waiting...
2:48 am
Glantarell

Boobs are too big for braces LOL
2:49 am
grannyrose

*giggle* mind pics are very disturbing, glant
2:49 am
Glantarell

ha ha ha
2:49 am
sprite

sounds like you have teethy tits

i celebrated 10 years last autumn, by getting an abstract watercolour tattoo to cover the scar :-)
2:52 am
sprite

oh wow, good job!
2:52 am
Glantarell

My children were astonished, because I have always been anti-tattoo
2:52 am
Glantarell

but this was different, it stopped me going ugh every time I saw myself in the mirror
2:53 am
grannyrose

was gonna comment, but you two got in before me. WTG GLANTARELL. you are amazing.

i finally had an ultrasound of my boobs last week. i just cringe at the thought of a mammogram.
2:55 am
Glantarell

mammogram machines have improved a great deal over the last 10 years, less uncomfortable/painful now

WTG SPRITE!!!
2:56 am
Glantarell

they have 'auto-release' so you are only squished until the moment the x-ray is taken, rather than having to wait for the radiographer to return to the room...#
2:56 am
grannyrose

i have always told my GP, the day a man puts the family jewels between those plastic plates, i will have a mammogram
2:56 am
sprite

lol
2:57 am
Glantarell

I believe that too many very small, very slow growing tumours are diagnosed in women over 70, which then get treated aggressively
2:57 am
sprite

well, on that note, I will go and take a shower :) *hugs* dear ladies. Sleep well, rose, and have a grand day, both of you.
2:57 am
grannyrose

enjoy your day darling sprite. xoxox and heaps of hugs.
2:58 am
Glantarell

and which probably never would have got to be life threatening, the woman would probably have lived her lifespan not knowing there was a something small
2:58 am
Glantarell

Bye Sprite, enjoy the day
2:59 am
grannyrose

i hear you glant. i know what treatment is available. and if i decide no thanx that will be it.
2:59 am
Glantarell

I think it should depend on the size of the tumour and the speed at which they think it is growing
3:01 am
Glantarell

Mine was about 4 inches by an inch when I found it, but had probably taken about 3 years to get there - and the ultrasound didn't pick it up because it was against the chest wall
3:01 am
Glantarell

but they also found cells in my lymph nodes, so i had the full kit and caboodle
3:02 am
Glantarell

i am not sure i would today, i know a lot more about diet and think i would go down that route if I have a recurrence
3:02 am
grannyrose

ugh, poor you. over here they do a wide local incision with axillary clearance.
3:03 am
Glantarell

they did a needle biopsy first, then a lumpectomy a week later, then a mastectomy with axillary clearance a week after that. It was a fun August, I can tell you!!!
3:04 am
grannyrose

in my poor mother's day it was straight into a radical mas. and the x-ray therapy. poor love never fully recovered from the trauma of the surgery. but she did go on the live until 88 years old and it was her heart which did her in.
3:05 am
grannyrose

egad glant. it just shows how strong you are.
3:05 am
Glantarell

My mum never fully recovered form the trauma of surgery either, she had her knee replaced aged 79, and went downhill form there..
3:06 am
grannyrose

it's so sad isn't it? and we are the ones who have to watch it... biting our tongues in frustration.

Hello Nef! How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid.
10:19 pm
Minveryork

Sorry to hear about DH. My hubby has been ill recently too
10:20 pm
Nef

Hi, Min! Long time no see!
What's wrong with your hubby?
10:24 pm
Minveryork

He is having breathing problems which has to do with fluid build up on his lungs and belly which has 2 do with his liver
10:25 pm
Nef


:-( That's not good at his age
10:26 pm
Minveryork

This sounds heartless,but husband did it to himself with all the years of drinking.His lifestyle has finally caught to him
10:28 pm
Nef

I know; you & I talked about it several years ago. It still is hard to see though.
10:29 pm
Minveryork

Husband had 2 hospital stays in one month. They removed over 40 pounds of fluid from his belly. It keeps on building back up though because his liver is so badly damaged.
10:29 pm
Minveryork

I am going with him in a few weeks to see a liver specialist
10:30 pm
Nef

Has he stopped drinking? (It sounds like he has pretty severe cirrhousis
10:30 pm
Minveryork

He finally stopped drinking after the second hospital stay.
10:31 pm
Nef

That's good.
10:31 pm
Minveryork

When my husband got home from 1st hospital stay, he was at the bar 2 hours later drinking & we had a huge blowout
10:32 pm
Nef

I hope he didn't go through DT's.
10:32 pm
Nef

Are you still getting divorced?
10:33 pm
Minveryork

I should not even be going with him to this specialist, but I am, for what reason, who knows why.He should really left to deal with this on his own, but he has stopped drinking.
10:33 pm
Minveryork

What is DT's?
10:34 pm
Nef

delirium tremors. It's a terrible withdrawal from alcohol: they hallucinate& pretty much go through hell.
10:34 pm
Minveryork

That's another thing! I filed for divorce papers in June b-4 his recent health issues, but he just got served last week. I know the timing sucks and I did not mean for it to happen
10:35 pm
Nef

:-(
10:36 pm
Minveryork

No, no4/4 of that fortunately. One reason why he thought he was not an alcoholic because he said he did not get the shakes if he did not drink for a few days. He's going to AA
10:37 pm
Nef

My brother has been dry for 6 years now; he went through DT's and the only thing that has kept him dry is AA.

He has finally realized he IS an alcoholic. He also told me that he realizes alcohol was more important to him than I was. My husband is BEGGING me to stop proceedings now.
10:38 pm
Minveryork

He has lied to me for so many years to support his drinking
10:39 pm
Minveryork

Do not know if I should believe him or not. Is he telling me these things so I will not divorce him or does he really truly feel this way? I already told him that it was too late for us
10:40 pm
Nef

You need to do what is right for YOU, Min. Don't let him talk you out of it if you still want out. Sympathy isn't a good reason to stay married.
10:41 pm
Minveryork

I know deep in my heart what I ne4/5 to do, but I'm afraid he will go back to drinking if I go through with it. I cannot be responsible though if he goes back to drinking again.
10:41 pm
Nef

But; if you still love him and care about him; thetis up to you.
10:42 pm
Nef

You are NOT responsible for his drinking; that is his decision.
10:42 pm
Minveryork

I can't blame him for everything because I was an enabler.
10:43 pm
Nef

My brother lived with us 1 summer when he was going through the 90 meetings in 90 days thing. I got a lot out of AL ANON FROM IT
10:45 pm
Minveryork

I went to an ALANON me4/5ing several years ago and I did not like it. I never went to another one after that. Now I'd go to another one if I were to stay with him. Don't think I
10:45 pm
Minveryork

really need to now if I do not planning on staying with him
10:45 pm
Nef

(Sorry for the caps -or yelling there. I had a timer going off to take something out of the oven)
10:46 pm
Minveryork

I also think that if he were not going through these health problems,he'd still be drinking like a fish & would not stop
10:47 pm
Nef

so you do plan to go through with the divorce then. Good for you.
10:48 pm
Minveryork

Yes, even though the timing stinks, I ne 4/5 to go through with it. I'm hoping it's amicable and we can remain friends
10:49 pm
Minveryork

That's easy for me to say since I'm the person who wants it
10:49 pm
Nef

I suspect that the specialist may bring up the idea of a liver transplant IF he really truly has quit drinking. If they do talk about it; I want to warn you that it's a very heavy burden for the family; and he'd need a strong family support systemic he got a transplant
10:50 pm
Nef

(that was system IF; not systemic)
10:51 pm
Minveryork

Unfortunately he has NO family support. He has alienated everyone in his family because of his drinking. They are so done with him. Only support he will get is from his mother
10:52 pm
Minveryork

Another problem is health insurance.If I leave him he loses his insurance and he might not be able to get a transplant
10:52 pm
Minveryork

Once again, the guilt I will feel when I go through divorce.
10:52 pm
Nef

as crazy as my sons' ex is, they have divorced & are fairly amicable(because of my grandson). If they cane amicable after all of the grief she put them through; I'd say it's possible for anyone who wants to remain friendlycan do it
10:53 pm
Minveryork

Well we do not have any kids, so no reason to remain civil.
10:54 pm
Nef

LOL! Not unless you want to.
10:56 pm
Minveryork

Hope this depressing convo isn't stopping you from looking for words. I can help clue if you want. Been saving my last one since 5am. Needless to say haven't been able to sleep
10:56 pm
Nef

Min, it may be that your insurance may not cover a transplant for him even if you do remain married.Some insurance companies are pretty tight-fisted with their coverage; & don't do transplants on people who have caused their illness.
10:58 pm
Nef

(((Min))) I'm down to 25 words left. I did open the list about 5 or 6 words ago; I'm not worried about it at this point
10:58 pm
hurshy

minver, i had no idea about all these life circumstances of yours. i'm so sorry and wish you wisdom and peace and strength.
10:58 pm
Minveryork

Thank you hurshy!I really have not mentioned before here
10:58 pm
Nef

Hi hurshy.
10:59 pm
Minveryork

Well, I also have a story of clues in my profile you ne4/5 it
11:03 pm
Nef

Hey, Min, did you find out what your next school year will be? Will you be split between 2 buildings again?
11:05 pm
Minveryork

Yes,I will be split between the same 2 schools.Getting new Principal in one school.I hope she is not a pain in the arse.
11:07 pm
Nef

So did you like being split between schools last year? any advantages to it for you?
11:07 pm
Minveryork

Was a blessing in disguise.Thought I'd hate it,but I liked it.
11:08 pm
Minveryork

Looking forward to going back to my regular job. I taught 6 weeks of summer school with High School students and it was miserable! They were so rude and disrespectful to me
11:10 pm
Nef

That's good! :-) I certainly hope you enjoy the new principal this next year. Any gossip about her that you've heard (or maybe I should say does anyone know her & can tell others her strengths & weaknesses?
11:10 pm
Nef

Oh WOW! You didn't need THAT!
11:12 pm
Minveryork

When I went to administration for help they told me it was my fault.My family wanted me 2 quit but I needed extra $ because I spent thousands of dollars retaining my lawyer.
11:13 pm
Minveryork

My parents were so worried about me this summer & I felt bad putting them through that.Guess it's their job to worry
11:14 pm
Nef

LOL! Yes, parents worry about their kids no matter how old the kids are (spoken from experience here)
11:21 pm
Minveryork

Nef, are U ready for FWs? Would love to get mine with you
11:21 pm
Minveryork

Too tired to make it to the flip,but I can wait for your FWs
11:21 pm
Nef

I think I told you before that the Aunt who raised me was a County Superintendent of schools for many years; and because the schools all consolidated & she didn't have that job any more; she went back to teaching (she actually ended up teaching 3 generations of students in that town).
Anyway; she would always start out with the strictest rules & was really harsh at the start of the year; then would relax after she got to know the kids & they respected her.
11:22 pm
Minveryork

Was really harsh at the beginning too,but that didn't help.
11:23 pm
Nef

I have 6 words left, c's E's & an M
11:23 pm
Nef

:-( That's too bad. And its terrible the administration wasn't helpful.
11:24 pm
Minveryork

Kids spoke Spanish so they took advantage of me because they knew I did not speak the language so they would talk about me & make fun of me in Spanish.They were terrible
11:26 pm
Nef

Ce4/6, cl4/14, Em 4/8
11:26 pm
Nef

That is Horrid! Shame on those kids!
11:26 pm
Minveryork

They threw paper across the classroom whenever I turned around to write on board. They were constantly on phones
11:27 pm
Nef

Are you allowed to take their phones from them during class?
11:28 pm
Minveryork

When I expressed my concern to Principal he said I should incorporate cell phone use into the lessons. Even if I tried to take their phones, they would refuse to give it to me.
11:29 pm
Minveryork

After asking several times for student to move to another seat for talking too much he finally said "MAKE ME!" I had security removing kids from my classroom every single day
11:31 pm
Minveryork

Administration told me that I called security too much and that I should have better control over my classroom. Mind you, not once did they intervene and talk to the students
11:31 pm
Minveryork

Anyway, I ne 4/5 to stop complaining. As I told torgone b4 it gets you nowhere.Let me know what clues you want Nef
11:32 pm
Nef

It must be really tough to teach in a situation like that. I once had to give a speech to some seniors in high school who thought they knew it all & didn't listen. So I sat down & stared at them. It made them very uncomfortable after a while.
But it sounds like that class of yours wasn't interested in earning anyway, huh?
11:33 pm
Nef

And is there any way you could have filed a complaint with the superintendent of the school system about the lack of support from Adm?
11:35 pm
Nef

I finally found my M; so it's the 2nd cl, & the ce4/6 now
11:35 pm
Minveryork

That's why they are in summer school in the first place. If they did not care enough about thier learning during the school year, then they certainly weren't going care in the summer time. I am just glad that it's finally over
11:36 pm
Minveryork

2nd cl word is like previous word,ends with different letter
11:36 pm
Minveryork

ce 4/6 word is anagram of what you roll at the casinos Nef
11:37 pm
Nef

Thanks! I thought I tried that several times before
11:37 pm
Nef

Are you ready to get fireworks now?

Yes I am. Already typed word, just have to hit "enter" key.

11:38 pm
Minveryork

Congratulations Nef on your fireworks display! Way to go!
11:39 pm
Nef

And Congrats to you too, Min!!! :-)
11:39 pm
Minveryork

I am finished! I have fireworks! sh7/40 was my final word.
11:39 pm
Nef

I hope you get some good sleep tonight!
11:40 pm
Minveryork
