that's ok. my brain is twisty and can be hard to follow at the best of times.

I don't get sick very often so I am a terrible patient - or should I say impatient?

i'm not sure whether frequency and good-patient-ness are correlated
12:51 am

off to bed - hopefully tomorrow will be better :) Good night everyone
12:57 am
rbud

I just spent the better part of 3 months in the hospital, first an emergency surgery and then corrective surgery - I can definitely relate to being a terrible patient. Hadn't really ever had anything done outside of having our kids, lol
12:58 am
dcseain

oh, my. glad to see you back, rbud. I hope you're recovering well.
12:58 am
Kamanjah

I hope you're doing well now.
12:59 am
rbud

much better this time around, food is going in and coming out much more like it should, whew.
12:59 am
dcseain

glad to hear!
1:00 am
Kamanjah

I hope you keep doing better and better!
1:02 am
rbud

thanks! had a combo of an internal hernia or two, adhesions, and some "abnormal anatomy alignment" - much to my surprise - according to the first surgeon.
1:03 am
rbud

just couldn't keep food down one day, and things just hurt, so in I went. Could not believe how long it took to get back out. Once they have you it's a long haul, haha
1:03 am
Kamanjah

Doesn't sound fun at all! Glad you're home and the body is functioning...keep it up!
1:04 am
rbud

Need to walk more, but the weather's not the best for it. Retaining a bit of water in my legs, need to fix that.
1:04 am
rbud

I did quit smoking, though, about four months now, yay, me!
1:05 am
Kamanjah

It's hard to get out and walk when the weather is bad! I'm sitting too much myself. YAY YOU for quitting! Hardest thing ever.
1:06 am
sprite

good morning all
1:06 am
Kamanjah

Hi Sprite!
1:07 am
sprite

*hugs Kam* Good evening, dear one, how are you doing? And how is Michael?
1:07 am
rbud

Also not sure if I've officially lost my little library job down the block or not, was out so long they hired a temporary gal. Not sure I want it back... it's been ten years or so and getting kind of tired of it.
1:07 am
rbud

(but I liked the little paycheck, haha)
1:07 am
sprite

yay you for quitting smoking, rbud!
1:08 am
dcseain

yay for quitting smoking. may you reap benefit from that.
1:08 am
Kamanjah

I'm doing fair...still sore, but we've had a lot of weather changes. Michael is tired out - he took his grandson over to his dad's this weekend, and obviously overdid himself.
1:09 am
sprite

sounds like the both of you need some downtime, honey.
1:09 am
dcseain

agreed with sprite. self-care is important.
1:10 am
rbud

well, fill me in, Kam, I've been out of touch so long I don't know what's up with you. I'm familiar with Michael's situation, more or less, unless there's something new.
1:10 am
Kamanjah

Gonna have to wait till after the holidays - we're going over the hill to a friend's for Christmas, and there's snow over there!
1:12 am
Kamanjah

Rbud, he has had really good success with his surgery results, but does get tired more easily - part of that is because he's also getting older! Overall, he's doing great, and has twice the energy I've had - I had a nasty fall, and then a car accident, so my body took a bit of a beating.
1:13 am
sprite

ks killed
1:13 am
rbud

oh, ouch! yeah, you better take it easy.
1:14 am
Kamanjah

At least the accident wasn't my fault, so the other insurance is picking up a rental. My car won't be ready until sometime in January - over $12,000 damage, ugh
1:18 am
sprite

thank God for small favoursd
1:18 am
sprite

-d
1:19 am
Kamanjah

We couldn't visit our friend for Christmas without the rental! Luckily we were able to get a car very similar to the damaged one, with AWD and able to handle snow.
1:20 am
sprite

that is good. DId you see the doctor yet?
1:21 am
Kamanjah

Appt is Jan 4
1:22 am
Kamanjah

I can't believe how long it takes to get an appt!
1:22 am
sprite

crazy :(
1:28 am
Kamanjah

Rural areas are underserved, so we have to drive 60-90 minutes to get decent care.
A man fell off of a ladder today, and no med flights would come in due to bad weather, so they had to take him by ambulance - at least 90 minutes if drivers got out of their way. I hope he's ok!
1:28 am
sprite

nasty
1:30 am
dcseain

Once, long ago, we had to get my cousin 90 minutes to a trauma center in Columbus OH from where he lived in rural nowhere East of there.
1:31 am
Kamanjah

It's scary! Sometimes it's faster to drive your loved one - hubby's aunt had a heart episode one year, and they drove her to the neared hospital in 20 minutes - no ambulance would have even found them in that time!
1:32 am
Kamanjah

Hubby was also trained as an EMT - that helps a bit.
1:33 am
sprite

hm yeah, but not when he downplays your pretty severe damage from the fall!
1:36 am
Kamanjah

hear ya, Sprite. The problem was that it wasn't an emergency after 24 hours...and there was no where but an emergency room to go to. No appts, no decent doctors...it sucks here for medical care. But I didn't get pushy either, figured since my eye was ok, I'd be ok...
1:37 am
sprite

hmmmphhhhh. Well, next time, you go to a doctor stat, ya hear? What am I saying... you are not allowed a next time!
1:38 am
Kamanjah

No more falls for me! If circumstances hadn't been so odd with timing, I would have been to the ER the night I fell.
1:39 am
sprite

good. I have seen the picture and it was a bad one.
1:40 am
Kamanjah

I know. But our election was a biggie, and it was more important than me. He was committed to work it, and only got about 4 hours sleep as it was.
1:41 am
sprite

honey, nothing is more important than you.
1:44 am
Kamanjah

The election was more important to me than my injury being looked at. Any other night I would have be straight to local ER - who probably would have had to transfer me anyway. Michael had to be transferred once - $6,000 ride. Ouch!

that spelling has an "e" on the end, but there is a version ending in precipitation

Yup. I was wanting to use the other one though. It just seems so common after reading it in so many novels.

Trif...some friends of mine and I recently formed an education foundation for our school district. Last Friday we went out and delivered our first grants to area teachers. Surprised them with big fake checks and lots of hoopla. GREAT day!!!
7:52 am
Trifioso

oh that does my heart SO MUCH GOOD! bless you
7:53 am
ChampFit

It was FABULOUS. The largest were around $5000, and the smallest was around $1000. So much fun! Now we get to raise more money to do it again in May.
7:53 am
Trifioso

wait - actual money? the checks were fake, but they got actual money?
7:53 am
ChampFit

Heck yeah they did!!!
7:54 am
Trifioso

oh that is AMAZING
7:54 am
ChampFit

One of the schools won half the grants. Turns out their librarian held grant writing workshops. It's a blind scoring system, so we had no clue till the winners were selected.
7:54 am
gramma

Champfit, do you know what the cost is per year per student?
7:56 am
ChampFit

It would depend on what the grant was for. They all applied for different things that they thought would enhance the kids' education.
7:58 am
Judi

16 Ks. That's just uncalled for.
7:58 am
ChampFit

Right now, I just know names and amounts. I'll find out at our January meeting what the grants were for. Also, we're going to follow a couple of the winners to check their progress. Will use the info and video footage for future fundraising efforts.

*costs
8:07 am
ChampFit

You're talking about the daily cost of basic education? I'll find out and report back. Pretty sure it's a lot less than that. For some reason the number $8000 -ish comes to mind.
8:08 am
ChampFit

To be clear, the education foundation raises money privately, and teachers apply for grants. The grants are reviewed and scored on a matrix, and the highest scores are chosen to be funded. This is over and above state and federal funds.
8:09 am
gramma

I'm talking about public elementary and high school. It's ridiculously high.
8:10 am
gramma

Oh I understand what you are doing. I think it's great. I'm just trying to get an idea of the cost of education there.
8:10 am
ChampFit

In Texas, the funding system is antiquated and ridiculous.
8:11 am
gramma

Ours is paid for with property tax and some federal funding
8:12 am
ChampFit

Ours is too, but the money goes back to the state, and trickles down. The more they receive in taxes, the less they actual get. It's a weird mix. Fuel is calculated on a price per gallon from the 80's. Weird stuff like that. You have to have good people handling the money in the district, that's for sure!

Grama, we have a camp on Lake Iroquois==oh, I see you know. Been cominfg since 1951. My kid fly our t and rent cars and don't add me as a driver so I am sort of "place bound"--but we have the nicest spot on the lake--in our view--and the kids don't want to sell. A real dock finally yhis summer--and an efficient eco toilet, they say--our system is too old and close to the lake to be acdceptable and no possibility of a well. I have written an excellent bk abt vt--it won the Dorothy Canfield Fisher after it came out--I'd enjoy meeting you.
