hi rebel
1:14 am

squirrels, no doubt
1:15 am
grannyrose

nah, just want to finish this now. tomorrow is always a big question mark at the moment. i never know when i can get back. done now...so settling in for a chat.
1:16 am
sprite

good girl. Well done. Now answer my question :D
1:16 am
rebelsass

finally, nbt, nbs
1:16 am
sprite

well done, rebel, too
1:17 am
rebelsass

i've got class later in the morning, so i should get some sleep, but the grid has got a hold over me.....nnnnooooo....the gggrrriiiidddddd.....it's got meeeeeee......
1:17 am
sprite

man, those Qs are playing hard to get
1:17 am
rebelsass

lol!!!
1:18 am
rebelsass

they were tough to get through....
1:18 am
grannyrose

started with a GP appointment. i have atherosclerosis mildy on my right side, but okay, just, on the left. had a good chat with GP re my use of endone.
1:18 am
sprite

ikr? Grids are like that. Evil powers emanate from them. The sucking force is enormous. Even with the best intentions...
1:18 am
sprite

ah, finally a good chat with the gp about that. I bet she felt the vibes coming from the netherlands, lol
1:19 am
grannyrose

well the floor was shaking at least....
1:20 am
sprite

am glad for you, rose. Is something going to get done on the AS?
1:21 am
rebelsass

yeah, what about that?
1:22 am
grannyrose

told her that instant release tapentadol was like a drink of water. totally useless for the nerve pain. we also discussed pain doc's opinion that endone before gym sessions was a good idea, in that he would prefer me to exercise with endone cover than without. at least HE understands what FM is like.
1:22 am
sprite

but she could hear you this time?
1:22 am
grannyrose

we are going to discuss the AS when i go in for my next review in 6 weeks.
1:23 am
rebelsass

i hate it when doctors don't listen to you
1:23 am
sprite

ah good. Keep me posted.
1:23 am
sprite

it is respectless. You are the expert on you, they are not. THey are the experts on medical issues. Together, you should be a team.
1:23 am
grannyrose

i think she listened and took it on board. at least she wrote up the script without too much eye-rolling.
1:24 am
sprite

very good. She has to learn that you manage your pain meds very carefully, and that your tendency is to undermedicate, not overmedicate.
1:26 am
rebelsass

i do the same thing, undermedicate. and my doctor still thinks the opposite. it royally makes me angry.
1:26 am
grannyrose

and i've just looked at my calendar for December, and i have dental appoints each week, on the Wednesday. no use asking to change them now. appointments are as rare as hen's teeth. am going to talk to pain doc and see if i can be admitted on a Thursday, and discharged the following Tuesday.
1:27 am
rebelsass

smart idea
1:27 am
sprite

good thinking, sweetie. But even if you can't, infusion should take precedence. Your mouth can wait. Your pain cannot.
1:27 am
grannyrose

i am hoping to be dentally clean by end of December so that i can start the treatment for osteoporosis.
1:27 am
rebelsass

very true
1:29 am
grannyrose

it's a two-edged sword sprite. i have to be dentally clear before i can have the treatment, and my bones etc are becoming more brittle.
1:29 am
rebelsass

yikes. damned if you do.......
1:30 am
sprite

honey, I know how headstrong you are, but I will repeat: postponing the infusions is setting you back on all levels, physically, energetically, emotionally. Use your brain. It's what it is there fore :P
1:31 am
grannyrose

oh??? i thought it was there to stop my eyeballs rolling around inside my skull...
1:31 am
sprite

okay, that too.
1:32 am
rebelsass

LMAO!!!
1:32 am
grannyrose

i think rebel maybe a tad sleep deprived. she's got the giggles now..
1:33 am
sprite

:D
1:34 am
rebelsass

facts!!!
1:34 am
sprite

both the sleep deprivation and the giggles. At least there is balance.
1:36 am
rebelsass

*nods in approval* a-yup. you are both correct. i think i should probably go to sleep then, since i'm doing nothing but laughing right now.
1:36 am
sprite

might put you in the right headspace for sleep, though.
1:37 am
grannyrose

the other solution is that i go in early, like late November. but that puts my following infusion in February when Don is booked in for his surgery.
1:37 am
grannyrose

hmmm two infusions within 8 weeks instead of 12. liking the sound of that.
1:38 am
sprite

all you need to do then is arrange for transportation, honey. It is combinable
1:38 am
grannyrose

sweet dreams rebel girl.
1:38 am
rebelsass

good night, to you both. wish me luck for later. i've got a couple of quizzes today.
1:39 am
sprite

good luck, rebel, and sleep well
1:40 am
grannyrose

sprite, not liking the thought of Don home alone following major joint surgery. too many what ifs. no, i think 8 weekly infusions might be the way.
1:40 am
sprite

that sounds even better. Go for it. 8 weeks is better for you anyway. You should stick to that.
1:41 am
grannyrose

* grin * now how did i know you would say that? i wonder??
1:41 am
sprite

because I told you the very same thing yesterday on the phone? :D :D
1:41 am
sprite

oh and I am translating like mad. Just for you.
1:42 am
grannyrose

oh yeah ! was i awake at the time?
1:42 am
sprite

your mouth was running. Not sure about the rest LOL
1:43 am
grannyrose

just checked. now have only 19 pages to go, but no biggie. remember i am going to go back and edit it for you?
1:43 am
sprite

yes please please please
1:46 am
grannyrose

need potty break, and while i'm up will get another drink. oh, oh, oh. i weighed myself this morning. despite eating a few wrong things over the last 10 days, i am still down below three digits on the scales. first time since the end of covid.
1:46 am
sprite

I still have quite a few pages to go and then I want to go over the whole thing myself first, trying to brush it up as much as I can. But after that you will get part 2. Jirella during follow up training
1:46 am
sprite

wow honey, you did amazing!
1:50 am
sprite

hah, got the 9.
1:51 am
sprite

quilled the Qs.
1:55 am
grannyrose

back. with the hummus which i am allowed... * sigh *
1:55 am
sprite

oh that is so good, hummus. Especially with cucumber. I love it.
1:56 am
grannyrose

or with celery stalks. double whammy there. crunchy and full of fibre.
1:56 am
sprite

nah, not a fan of celery just like that. Too strong in taste.
1:57 am
grannyrose

i don't use the older stalks. the pale green new stems in the heart... so yummy
1:57 am
sprite

:)
2:00 am
sprite

fireflies. And poofing with hugs, lots to do today. Last day Rob and I are both home the whole day. He will leave for Zutphen this evening, tomorrow morning the floor will be laid.
