    Barbara — DH says he wants to meet with his doctor. This doctor is competent, and he will be in our town. DH will call in to make an appointment. It may be here in town, in Portland, or by telephone conference. We will get it done one way or another.

    Machka - Thanks for your ambulance suggestion. DH is unwilling so far. He is improving and he plans a meeting with his MD soon. If this turns life threatening, I will take him to the hospital myself. It is about 30 miles +~ away in mixed traffic. We have a clinic in our town but not a hospital.

    Turning grey is not a good sign. My husband turned grey when he had his heart attack, and you should have seen the colour of other patients in ICU during the 3 weeks I was there with him. All sorts of shades of grey! It's often considered part of a medical emergency.

    And it doesn't matter what your husband wants ... if he's sick, he's not thinking clearly. It's up to you to be the responsible adult and take over the situation.

    Taking him to the hospital yourself is often not advised.

    As Barbara mentions, you might not be able to get him into the car.
    And what if his situation becomes worse along the way? What are you going to do then?
    He can be treated on the way to the hospital if he is in an ambulance.
    Also, he will get priority treatment once he arrives at the hospital ... rather than sitting in the waiting room for hours, he will at least be lying down and will likely be having someone check on him.

    I just couldn't sit back and wait for my husband to take action if he were showing signs of being quite ill. :neutral:

    Julie “…if you need a house call” “astonished” I can NEVER remember a time when house calls were an option in the US. I’d heard of them in the late ‘50s early ‘60s but and hever seen one so filed them with the tooth fairy and Easter Bunny.

    Later, Lighter, lovelies!

    When I was a child (like 10-12 yrs old), there were house calls ... in Canada. I remember 2 or 3 occasions.

    "Our" ship is passing the coast off Brighton and Hove at this very moment. It's on its way back to Southampton. I think it's a couple of hours late, which will make the transfer late. We were meant to be boarding at around 4pm. They have to get everyone off first!
    Oh well, we aren't going, so that's fine. :p
    I do feel a bit flat, but it's nice not to have butterflies.

    Barbara - I load photos off my Android phone all the time. No problem. Plus off my Android tablet.

    Time to make DH a cup of tea.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Beginning to feel that DH and I ought to do something together, now that we are not going away. We have hardly been out for months. The last few weeks we have seen no one except the family once a week.

    If I were in the UK, I'd be tempted to head for Wales or Scotland. :) Somewhere with more nature and less people.

    Hey, all,

    Kels and the kids got here Friday about lunchtime, and the glorious chaos that always accompanies them has continued ever since. Was having a rough day yesterday (unrelated to the kids), so my husband, bless him, took them all to town to go to Sam's Club for things Kels can't find in Kansas, like the right-sized diapers for Levi. Gave me time to nap a bit and get my feet under me.

    Finally felt a bit better by dinner time, and dragged everyone out for a short walk around the couple acres that we've cleared around the house. Watching a two-year-old find sticks is one of the more wonderful things in life.

    Every one he picked up, whether six inches long or six feet long, he proudly named it "stick!" and went to find another. The big long ones he pounded on the ground, yelling "stick, stick!" until they became smaller sticks. The six-year-old found a new type of weed, took a chunk of it with her, and found tiny flowers to wind into it. After our walk, she gifted it to her grandfather, who stayed in the house making pizzas. :p

    For those who've listened as I've shared my Army soldier daughter's recent woes with her marriage, she is now happy and relaxed and laughing. Like me, her emotions show whether she wants them to or not. Her command has validated her by sharing with her that the moment she gets her current department ticking like a well-oiled machine, which won't be much longer, they want to shift her to another department that needs her trouble-shooting talents. It's a huge compliment.

    Oh, and the weight I gained the last week of February has come right back off in the last week. I had gained up to 179 pounds, and now I'm back to the same weight (174) I was at the beginning of February. Really want to get below 170 and stay there. Then I'll reset the goal to 160, and then when I get to 150, I want to set up a maintenance lifestyle that I can stick with.

    Don't want to go around changing all the clocks until everyone is awake - far too many beeps, boops, and ratchet sounds. I'll just get a little reading done before the hungry horde is awake.

    Off to my reading!
    Love,
    Lisa in AR

    Barbara, Southern Oregon, Kroger’s link. It's part of a lawsuit, but gave me pause.

    https://epaper.springfieldnewssun.com/popovers/dynamic_article_popover.aspx?artguid=550f721e-6323-4b2d-966a-fd792c5d467c&utm_source=app.pagesuite&utm_medium=app-interaction&utm_campaign=pagesuite-epaper-ipad_share-article

    Katia-I understand your position. My husband was very stubborn about such things. If he was completely “out of it” I could call help-otherwise he would refuse help. Unfortunately for all, adults have that right unless they are obviously incapacitated in some way. When I called squad for his last trip, he was obviously in an altered mental state, so they did take him. Tough situation for us to be in.

    Lisa-so good to hear things are better for daughter. The walk around the property sounds like a wonderful memory to keep!

    We haven’t had house calls here in years and years (when I was very young). I found the reference to the fire med service very interesting. We don’t have anything like that around here you can subscribe to. I think they will come to provide assistance, but you would be billed.

    Made it through yesterday’s snow bursts and cold temperatures. Did not go out walking but did get active time in the house. Actually started some more packing up stuff for Goodwill. Hope to get a couple of more boxes done so I can drop them off this pm.

    Friend contacted me about going out or lunch or dinner today (he is also supposed to help friend move something). We have gone out on occasion. While I enjoy talking to him, not interested in anything more.

    For the record, I hate time change days (actually the first several days). I really just wish we would stop this nonsense!)

    Take care all,

    I was so absorbed by the slow progress of the Spirit of Discovery that I totally forgot that Sunday is weigh day! Oops! I will weigh myself first thing tomorrow morning.
    SOD is still not in berth, and it looks like it won't be until later this afternoon. Logistical nightmare.

    Bea is off on her birthday treat to Monkey Bizness. She said she would wear the T shirt we gave her. <3 We are meeting them at Fatto's tomorrow tea time, her actual birthday.

    I have had to reinstate the booking for the fish restaurant next Thursday. G's knee is much better. ;) The restaurant must think I'm crazy. I like it there because it is a proper, very old-fashioned, linen, napkins, silver, place. Good spacings between tables. And NO MUSIC. Heaven!

    Machka - My idea of a break is a nice hotel, gorgeous architecture, galleries and museums, and attractive restaurants. 😍 Plus I don't go any distance in our car any more. DH does not like trains much. Or aeroplanes. I'm sure we can think of something. I'm looking forward to Iceland right now.

    Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    :)

    That makes for an interesting question ...

    What is your idea of a break or great holiday?




    Mine would be this:
    - quiet cabin in rural or semi-rural location
    - comfy beds, fireplace, porch with chairs for sitting outside and relaxing
    - great roads for cycling - sealed, quiet, relatively flat
    - a good hike or two nearby
    - a stack of books and my cameras
    - a nearby town with a good restaurant/pub or two (for meals, not for alcohol)
    - a nearby tourist attraction or two for rest days or those days with less-than-ideal weather ... maybe a cruise around a lake, a trip on an old train, a wildlife park, a museum or gallery, or a collection of interesting shops.

    There is a place we go in Tasmania that's pretty close to what I've described. I find I really relax there. I can breathe ... and I have the best night's sleeps!

    They're a bit pricey or I'd spend a lot more time there!

    Accountability:
    Chose well: Joe, readings, BP, CI<CO, CI<250<CO, wii yoga
    Bonus: veg prep, 45 mins grooming Tumble, changed clocks. Just one thing: bupkes
    Workin’ on it: 142.2, H20x4, active 6:34
    Mindful March
    13: Pause to watch the sky or clouds for a few minutes today.
    14: Find ways to enjoy any chores or tasks that you do. How war refugees would love to “have” to clean house or wash clothes.

    Checking back in. Low activity day Saturday, recovering from Friday’s shopping marathon and long drives.

    Unfunny knee issue: sudden, sharp, debilitating pain after a click/slide sensation. Started Thursday when my knee twisted inward while in bed. Persists when trying to put any weight on that leg while flexed, or when trying to unflex. If I can wriggle it just right, it click/slides back into place and pain stops completely. Took aspirin, rubbed in Voltaren, wore knee brace all day Friday with no pain. Returned Saturday when unbraced. Ice, hot tub, aspirin. Texted chiro who wll see me after Monday’s annual. She suggested I ask MD to order X-rays of knee. Will do. Do NOT need anything to discourage me from walking, dancing or BB&B ;}
    Thanks, Julie. They even offer emergency Venous Echo Doppler ultrasounds. Amazing! :astonished: Feeling envious, covetous.
    Katla ((hugs)) and prayers.
    Heather thanks for the Android/photos/mfp correction, glad to hear it!
    Lisa Happy to hear your DD’s command recognizes and utilizes her skills. :love: the “stick, stick, stick!” story.
    Ginny, Thanks very much, it gives me pause too. Most of the products are prepared, but wow, lead in spinach salad and canned peaches? Thanks also very much for sharing your sad and difficult experience with Katla. ((hugs)) In Oregon, where Katla and I are, we have Cal-Ore Life Flight https://cal-ore.com/membership/ allied with AirMed. The low annual fee is $219/yr for a family. Our fire district provides for all our volunteers. When assistant chief had a terrible accident (his pit bull pulled him downslope into a tree, breaking ribs and puncturing his lung) he was transported from the accident side to the nearest hospital by ground ambulance, then from there flown to Portland, all at zero pocket. Without this membership the cost would have been over $90,000. Cheap insurance at the price.


    All caught up, now time to get up off my duff!

    Later, Lighter, lovelies!

    Katla - I hope that DH gets seen right away tomorrow.

    Heather - it sounds like your first day would have been frustrating. I hope you find something to do as a couple locally.

    What is your idea of a break or great holiday?
    For a weekend break nothing brings me more peace and relaxation than having my family around, having time to do something creative and having some silence.
    When I want a true break, I like to go to the mountains, much like Machka describes. We love touring the mountains. I prefer Jasper to Banff.
    I also love anywhere that I can see the stars and get away from the noise of the city. I grew up in the country and miss the “silence”. A quick place I’ve been getting that is at my daughters house.

    Lisa - I’m happy that your daughter is being recognized by her command. Does she have to move to a new base when the next challenge arises?

    Barbara - hope that knew fixes soon.

    Today is my friends birthday, I have invited her out to make a mug. She needs company more than she needs things.

    DH needs to see his doctor. He wanted a phone visit and I think he should be there in person. We will try to get in this coming Monday. Keeping my fingers crossed for DH to go in. I don’t think a telephone visit is good enough. 🙏🏻

    I just had a call from DH’s sister. She wants to be kept in the information loop.

    Try to get him to see this situation from your perspective, not his. Can you also do FaceTime calls?
  • Having a quiet day. Doing some precooking and rereading a series I enjoyed the first time through. Boyfriend has a coding challenge to do before he talks to the people who want to hire him again. Girlfriend is figuring out what order to do her midterm coding project parts in, so undoubtedly they will be talking code later when she asks for his opinion. It's all Greek to me, personally. (grin)

    I'm trying not to nap, but I'm also trying to listen hard to my body, and today may be a nap day.

    Katla- we are not trying to be pushy by any means but genuinely care for both you and your hubby and want whats best for you both.. and yes men can be stubborn..
    I got a call from Tom today seems our little old boy Homer has either a UTI or kidney infection.. he is peeing blood and of course that freaked Tom out he called the emergency vet and they said it would be a long wait and very expensive.. so he called me to get my opinion.. i had some keflex that i got and looked up and it can be given to dogs and they looked up the dosage ,so Tom came over and got that and is staying home from work tomorrow to get Homer into the vet.. he might not have been a great husband but he is a heck of a dog dad lol.

    Rita - I also use and iPhone and haven’t been able to upload a picture for a couple of days now. I will put in a ticket on MFP too.

    Katla - such a stressful time. Hugs to you.

    Allie - poor old Homer sure is suffering a lot lately.

    My friend still hasn’t contacted me. I’m frustrated. In the meantime I am working on another stocking. I finished the design work on one last night.
