Good morning!!
Glad NS worked with you!! Sounds good!! What about the moderator? I had not thought about that being a problem!
I take so many meds, it gets tricky. It IS best to use as few as possible. The good news is I lost about 7 lbs of fluids..no wonder I felt so bad!!
I think things will go fine!! You have worked at your diet and eaten more healthy! It is bound to make a difference!
Wish we had your cool nights! Your bill for car is not too bad considering how much was done. I can't believe your mileage is so low!!
Technology is getting very scary lately and fixes and laws have not caught up!
Studies show pets suffer when their owners text too much and do too much social media, too.
Take care..hope you sleep better!! Jan1 -
No adoptions again today. This was a different Petsmart...and the entire area is under heavy construction...so very light customer base. It was 101 degrees, and i was the one taking each of the adult dogs out for potty breaks. A couple years ago i gad heat exhaustion ehich makes me more susceptible to the heat. I was feeling really sick and shaky so i took my puppies home early. Had a big cup of water and electrolytes and a big salad with boiled eggs, olives, and avocado. YUMM! I feel do much better.
Another NSV today. Ladt year I bought a Hufflefuff (Harry Potter) shirt that was as hig as they make them, but was way to small for me. It fits comfortably/loosely!
Jan - take care of you and your BP! Life gets less complicated with fewer medications. It seems they all have side effects.
Roger - I hate dar repair bills. My brain still compares everything to prices from the 70s...and everything is so expensive (relatively...except computers)!1 -

Hi
Currently It is 60 degrees outside. The predicted high for today is once again in the 80s
I'm not so sure I like our forecast for the upcoming week. Currently they are predicting rain on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Tuesday being the day I have to drive through rush hour traffic for the pre-admission testing and little ole me not having driven through rush hour traffic since the 90s
The last job I had where I started working in the mid 90s and lasted 16 years I could leave home at 9:50 AM and be at work for the 10 AM open and the return home was after the rush hour so I am not looking forward to rush hour in the rain.

Hello JanGood morning!!

I am a moderator elsewhere and with all the medical stuff I just can't concentrate on it. I plan to ask for Emeritus status in case I spring back to being 100%. OTOH I suspect that I may be somewhat off while the Liver regrows, who knows, that is one of the questions I forgot to ask.
To much water weight will do that too You.
Wow, Val is doing great.
I have not been eating healthy the last few weeks, too many cheat days.
I had almost forgotten that the surgeon had said I would be getting an epidural for pain, I'm not sure I want a needle shoved into my back.
The Cars Mileage is so low since I only run around locally. The history of the car is that Mom bought it from a friend who had bought it new and both of them used it to drive to church and the grocery store. My use similar so...
I am putting more miles on it lately running to the doctors and then the testing and that is till what it had on it when they worked on it.
Some of the technology abuses are really scary. I had a friend tell me that she turns of the GPS in her iPhone and next thing it is back on, we both feel it is some app doing that. One reason I have a Dumb phone AKA Flip phone. It doesn't even have camera.
I am not surprised that texting and social media impacts pets. It also impacts personal relationships. I felt both saddened and appalled at the diner last year where all the kids at the table spent most of the time texting and it looked like they were there with their parents and grandparent. I am a firm believed that kids only Internet use should be in the family room and only phones that can not internet or text.
I hope I sleep better too, On the other hand my mind keeps going regarding the medical when I try and sleep and No way do I want any sleeping pills beyond the Melatonin.
Have a Good Day

I'm sorry to hear that no adoptions occurred
I had not heard that about heat exhaustion, live and learn.
Yesterday I stopped at the bank and opened one of the two small Safe Deposit Boxes, those were all they had, Maybe Wednesday I will open the other, In the intervening years I sort of forgot what was in them, hence the visit. One of the questions on the form I had to sign was "are all the people that can access them living. or words to that effect. My answer was since I am the only one I sure hope so.
Congrats one the NSV.
I was not paying car repair bills back then. In the 60s I worked an a gas station and learned how to do many repairs. Until cars started coming with so much electronics in them. I even did some of the repairs on my 1988 Pontiac Sunbird such as change the alternator. Now I would not have the equipment to even start working on the Buick and it is only a 1999 model.
Computers are the one area that had nice price drops, So what happens is that they become a disposable item not worth repairing which killed my last job or everyone is using smart phones and tablets which are not real repairable either

Re sleep apps causing anxiety! A while back, I was listening to one with guided imagery, on an island, driver picks up at the airport and takes you to a remote resort...pretty beaches, etc, then the driver is giving you a massage! I bolted awake. A resort driver and a professional massuse are not overlapping work scopes! So I’m panicky because im in an isolated area and the guy with the vehicle keys expects to massage me! No! I know its an app, i know I’m not really isolated or trapped. But, that’s not relaxing! So, I don’t trust those apps anymore. ☺️🤓🤣1

Good morning!
Roger, I think you will do fine with this surgery. For the most part you do all the right things and make pretty healthy decisions. The surgeries I have seen the people do really well. This is one time you should take the meds offered and as with most procedures, stay a little ahead of any pain. You want to keep it at an even keel while you are initially in the hospital. Then healing can resume better once you are home. You got this!!
Val, that sleep app would kind of give me the creeps, lol...I did not know they had something like that. Guess I live a sheltered life!!
Congrats on your loss!! You are on fire!!! 
Your pick is wonderful!!! 1 -

I did not take the pain meds for the hernia repair since I felt no pain
I suspect that this one may be a lot different given that he predicted the need for pain relief.
This last couple of weeks my eating has not been so healthy
I need to buckle down when I get home. Right now I am working on eating up anything that is perishable since I hate waste.

Roger -are they having you do any special pre-op diet to shrink the liver? I have that “can’t waste food” internal dialogue too. I address it by giving it away. Frustrating with the cost of food, and not always an option. Hope that you enjoyed it. When on vacation I plan to relax my dietary restrictions to enjoy the culture. We’ll see what the scale says when I return.
Jan - i guess the app makers assumed people would like that. I do overthink things...a lot!
Last night we had bad storms. Oscar (my 14 year old 100+ pound Mastiff mix) was inconsolable. Completely frightened and wanting to bolt. I confined all dogs to my room. If I hadn’t held/wrestled with him all night, he really would have injured himself running into things. We also had no electricity, so it got quite warm in my room. Today he’s fine. But this really has me worried about what could happen when I’m on vacation.
I still have 67 pounds to lose, but I’m starting to feel more human-shaped.1 -
Good morning!
Hope your commute goes well, with little to no rain! like riding a bike, and you probably drive much better than most of the other drivers!!
I did get some work done and picked up my meds. Still so much to do!! It is so humid I really do not want to stick my nose out. this might be our last day of rain for a bit. I had about 3 1/2 inches the last 2 days and more limbs down. Still working on getting the older ones up, lol...
I had tacos , which I have not had in a while..Sure hit the spot, and probably ate too much...I need to buckle down too! Val is holding us up!! Great weeks Val!!
Sorry about Oscar. How scary...Hopefully when you are leaving there will not be storms like summer time and he will be more his usual self.
Take care all! Prayers for a good day, Roger!! ...Jan1 -
I did post the new humor, Tomorrow I do not know, we will be leaving before 8 AM for the tests.
Hi
Currently It is 70 degrees outside. The predicted high for today is normal. The Monday rain that fell was not as bad a forecast from what I could see. Tuesdays rain made an appearance overnight and currently a light rain is falling. I dread driving in it for the Pre-Admission testing today, Rain, Snow or Low visibilty seems to turn NJ drivers into Cretins. Some Drive their regular speed and other slow way down and as a result bad weather days have a plethora of crashes all over.

So far no mention of diet, I suspect that I will find out about any restrictions today. Restrictions for a week before with anything that might thin the blood including Aspirin.
I saw an advertisement for Thunder Blankets for dogs on the TV recently. I thought that there had been a discussion about them here on the forum a while back, am I wrong ?
I hope the electricity did not stay off for a long period of time. FWIW if that happened here I would go below ground where it is cooler, Or to put it another way, go into the basement.
Have a Nice Day

I hope You are right, when I drove to the doctors appointment that was also at 9 AM I had to listen to my brother critique my driving. He won't drive there and park in a parking garage. He feels that his large pickup is not maneuverable enough and is too tall. No drive through for him either.
Tacos, That is one of the few foods that doesn't tempt me.
Good Luck getting the fallen limbs cleared up.

Hope your drive is uneventful, Roger. And that all goes well with the appointment.
We did discuss thundershirts. I have one for the 50-pound dogs. Duke is the worst of that group. Even though he stops whining, he doesn’t look relaxed in the least...just like he hates the shirt and that takes his mind iff the storm.
Outage lasted 6 hours.
My stomach has been hurting terribly today. Im feeding it whatever I think could help...to no avail. It really hurts.
Stressed beyond sanity yesterday and today. My dog-friend got extremely mad at me (i had no idea anything was building). She had a litany of things she’s angry about. That was quite a shock and extremely hurtful presentation. I resigned from her Rescue. Still fostering Archie and Brutus.
Then a program manager went off on me via email. I burst into tears. I’m so exhausted and stressed. Two people called me to tell ne what a jerk he is to everyone (funny stories). Laughing and nit feeling so alone really helped.
I’m still fighting dehydration since Saturday. Horrendous headache. My body can get out of whack quickly. ☹️1 -
Good morning!
Anxious to hear how Tues. went. I guess I will know in the morning...Hope everything went smoothly.
1st day with no rain in a long time. I just did not muster up the energy to do too much today...And I had stuff to do.. It was a minimum and I am going to lunch with my daughter Weds., so I guess I will not set the world on fire Weds. either. I did spray a little poison ivy that was coming up, but all in all there is little left. That is a blessing.
Wow, Val, 6 hours without air is not good for man nor beast..as they say. At least it is restored now. I was so sorry to hear of your day. I can not believe about the rescue. I can not even imagine what led to that , especially if she had not given you a clue. It just breaks my heart about it. I know it was very important to you...not to mention important to the dogs. Is the rescue still working with you about Archie and Bruno? What happened with Fritz..did his people get him after the week end? I am just so sorry!!
Both of you hang in there!! Roger, it seems like you have thought of most everything to be ready for your surgery. I hope your day is better tomorrow, Val!! ...Jan 0 -
Hi Roger- Hope all went well. I can only imagine the stress and worry. Words often seem feeble when a friend is facing a serious health issue. I hope you know how much we appreciate all you’ve done for us, and how much we care and want everything to be better for you.
Thanks Jan.I slept pretty well, so that always helps.
I read that Program Manager’s email to Emily. She was shocked. Then i read her what i had written initially ... and she said “Awe, that’s really nice! Wait...that’s what set him off?” His issue is nothing personal towards me, and i hear he treats others the same or worse.
Fritz is happily adopted. Grumpy Puppy owns Archie, Brutus, and Boudreaux. Maggie is currently traveling and said i can continue fostering. She and Grumpy Puppy will be fine without me. She is very social with many friends. She prefers only those who agree with her, and i dared to express an alternate opinion.
I will be even better without them. After resigning I had a huge feeling of relief. I will have more time and money, and once the babies are adopted, I can get my house back in order.
After Maggie’s long litany of venom and hate (in writing), she added “but I still want your help with the Rescue.” I bet. But I don’t stay in abusive and hostile relationships.1 -

Hi
Currently It is 58 degrees outside. The predicted high for today is below normal. I was worried about driving in for the Pre-Admission testing Tuesday needlessly. The Forecast rains for Monday were not as bad as predicted and Tuesday the rains had ended before 7 AM which was well before Sunday's weather forecast said they would. The Roads had dried off from traffic and the drive went well.
Arrive 8:15 according to the parking ticket time stamp and paying the reduced fee after having the ticket validated at 11 AM. Then we had a problem finding the car, It was parked on the level 7 and not there. The NBPA sent a car to help us find it. It turns out that the parking garage has two level 7s, why ? One for the inbound direction and a different one on the outbound lane which is where we had been looking

As far as I know the tests went well.
I would think if it takes his mind off of things it is worth doing ?
Stomach, Have You been tested for Ulcers ? With the stressful job You have that is a possibility.
It sounds as if You were in more than one Dog rescue group. FWIW some people are like that, they just build up until the explode, Often later on they feel remorse, Not all of course.
At least You ended up with a laugh from the other peoples calls.
Dehydration ? Any ideas why ? I'm guessing that You are drinking plenty of fluids.
So far so Good, I'll be sure when they call Thursday afternoon with a time and place for the surgery, until then ...hope4change_val wrote: »Hi Roger- Hope all went well.

There are people in positions of so-called power that let that allow their true inner selves show. Some one like You describe needs to be removed for any position over other people. What a shame he let loose on her
There are to many people like that agree with me or else. So sad.
Good Luck getting them adopted quickly.
Who can she get to do what You have done for them ? My guess is no one.
Good Luck with the rest of the week

Tuesday went OK, A fair amount of tests. EKG, Blood work, Upper Chest X-Ray and a couple of other things also.
No rain is a good thing for You ?
Poison Ivy and Oak are two plants that We do not need anywhere near us.
I hope You enjoy the lunch with Your daughter.
Sadly there are people like that in the world and I will say far to many of them too.
When it is really hot no AC can be a killer. I suppose it could have been worse than 6 hours.

Roger -two Level 7s! That’s ridiculous! At keast they should put “7 ip” and “7 down”. Glad they helped and it turned out well.
My dehydration from Saturday was from the Dog adoption event. It was 102 degrees outside and i was the only one taking the adult dogs out for walks and potty breaks. Everyone else sat in AC chatting. I left early because i got really sick. I didn’t catch on until that evening that it was dehydration. It takes me days to re-stabilize because a couple years ago, i had heat exhaustion. So my body is more reactive to heat and fluid levels. Feeling good today finally!
Yes, I have ulcers and the pain really felt like that. But mylanta didn’t help, gaviscon didn’t help, food didn’t help. But that pain has subsided now.
Tonight Boudreaux and I went to a Meet-up for people and their dogs to go on a nature walk. Boudreaux was trying to eat the little dogs (totally out of character), he wanted to run, my shirt was indide-out! 🤣🤣🤣 i Bet they’ll remember us. Oh well.
Have a good night!”💤😴1 -
Good morning!
I have to agree with Val, Roger..I could not say any better! We do really appreciate you, and it will seem really strange to not have your posts for a bit!! I will be thinking of, and praying for ( and missing ) you. Hoping for good news with that scheduling!! I am glad the drive went well. I would have had a heart attack myself in trying to find your car! How crazy!!!
It is cool outside, in the 60's. That doesn't happen often here..Low humidity..It is like living somewhere normal!! The lightning bugs come out around 5 pm where I live. It is in a little dip and gets dark faster than just up the street. I love watching them! We always need rain, but I had about 5 inches the last few days, so I just need a little sun for the plants!
Val, 102 in a lot of heat!! I am glad you are feeling better!! Sounds like stress pain..a lot like growing pains, but its for adults instead...
Hope that clears up!! What a nature walk!! It is okay..you and B. were colorful characters!!
I took too long a nap today when I finally got home... and am rather awake!!
Take some breathers everybody!! ...Jan 1 -
I was sound asleep at midnight and my phone started making a weird noise. I made it stop and then realized I was in a FaceTime call...i think? I don’t do FaceTime. It was the guy who initially adopted Boudreaux...stating he wants him back. I hung up because i was asleep and don’t know him. Then later texted him (1) don’t call me in the middle of the night! (2) he violated his contract by not providing any medical care for the dog (no shots or heartworm prevention); (3) the dog had been abandoned and was starving/10-pounds underweight and flea-infested....asked him where he’s been for the last six months. Sigh.
Boudreaux consistently barks at and backs away from young men with the same body structure as that guy. I can’t believe he was good to the dog.1 -
More humor was posted, I may post Fridays stuff late this afternoon since I will need to look at the online map to locate where to go
Hi
Currently It is 64 degrees outside. The predicted high for today is below normal. I am not looking forward to the drive tomorrow mainly because I will not know when or where until this afternoon.
There is rain in the forecast for this morning, so far it is still dry outside,

My dehydration from Saturday was from the Dog adoption event. It was 102 degrees outside and i was the only one taking the adult dogs out for walks and potty breaks. Everyone else sat in AC chatting. I left early because i got really sick. I didn’t catch on until that evening that it was dehydration. It takes me days to re-stabilize because a couple years ago, i had heat exhaustion. So my body is more reactive to heat and fluid levels. Feeling good today finally!
Yes, I have ulcers and the pain really felt like that. But mylanta didn’t help, gaviscon didn’t help, food didn’t help. But that pain has subsided now.
Tonight Boudreaux and I went to a Meet-up for people and their dogs to go on a nature walk. Boudreaux was trying to eat the little dogs (totally out of character), he wanted to run, my shirt was indide-out! 🤣🤣🤣 i Bet they’ll remember us. Oh well.
Have a good night!”💤😴
I suspect that happens a lot or why would they have a car standing by. Another weird thing, each of the Up or down levels had one Handicap spot which I found weird since it is used by the Hospital.
I'm glad to hear that the pain has abated. I had a headache last night and Could not take anything for it since what I have are all on the list to not use 5 to 7 days before surgery
I wonder what set that off, has he ever exhibited that trait in the past ?
Facetime, another thing I can avoid with only a dumb phone.hope4change_val wrote: »I was sound asleep at midnight and my phone started making a weird noise.

That sounds like Boudreaux was adopted by a weirdo. I think You are right that he was likley physically abusing the poor dog as well as the lack of any health care and starving the poor dog too. How did he get Your number and why call in the middle of the night unless under the influence of something ?
Have a Good Day

I just did not feel up to walking that darned parking garage. Luckily they had a contact number posted and that person did say nothing was towed and sent a car to find it for us. As Val said who expects a Level 7 up and a Level 7 down ? Not me.
Wow nice weather for a change, Enjoy it. I see lightning bugs outside the living room window in the evening too.
I plan to alter my day today, Even if I fell tired no nap after they call and then I need to cleanse with the provided cleanser and then to bed earlier than usual since I suspect I may be out the door very early.
Fresh bedding is laid out complete to pillowcases per the directions and the old as well as the shorts I will be wearing are in the washer.
Have a Nice Day

I have posted humor already since I will be out the door super early
Hi
Currently It is unknown degrees outside.
The Hospital called and I need to be there at 5:30 AM Friday morning.
Thus I shall be brief as I am thinking I need to be up at 4AM the latest.
Look for something that says RE: Roger or from rogers brother in the email title.
