Allie - beautiful first communion picture. What is there not to like about apple pie?! Michele - my cats will tolerate some brushing. I really need to brush them more-another thing there just doesn't seem to be time for! Tracey - enjoy the scrapbook carnival. I know a few ladies who go off every few months for scraping…

Allie - your July trip sounds wonderful - how good you can get away. The g kids just get cuter! I had to look up BK virus. Glad you are just having what seems to be a normal side effect. Lisa - sorry to hear you were so wiped out. I don't typically have that much reaction (I usually find the nap I have afterwards to be…

Good morning all: I am sitting here catching up and getting ready to return to work today. While I did get up a couple of times with back last night it didn't go into severe spasms so I was able to get some sleep. I checked in with Assistant Director yesterday about what he thought would need my immediate attention. Two…

Rori - I have had moments where different things have let me know DH is at peace. Enjoy your time with N! Barbie - Had quite the conversation with DH this afternoon. Basically told him to just hush. Making final decision on new bed and I am leaning to not the bargain basement one (but not the top of the line either.) I…

Barbie - my DH will be gone 10 years in July. I still talk out loud to him at times (not as much as in the beginning). I have talked about my anger of him leaving, I have cursed over the stuff he was always going to do and I got left with the mess, I talk to him about the kids and grandkids and other various things. I have…

Michele - are you wearing gloves at work? I certainly would there if handling food and at home if dealing with food and water and bandage won't stay on. They do have some very good waterproof bandages out there. In terms of Junk-don't think there is much in the way of music. I believe it is about the Junk Bond stuff in the…

Carol - hope there is resolution for your husband. Great news about that granddaughter! Rita - I didn't realize chihuahua's came in black and white -I'm used to the brown ones and have never personally been attracted to them-you dog is cutie and has me reevaluating the breed! Glad your DH is so positive right now. Lisa -…

Barbie - thanks for reposting link from Heather's post. I always said I needed to learn I could live on my own before I could live with anyone's. I have taken the same attitude about me not closing my exercise rings the past 5 weeks-I am the only one who really knows! Rita - I knew some folks the 70's who went to OA. They…

Michelle - if that were my finger, I would opt for a bandage each change. An abscess is nothing to mess with. Mo - I tend to agree with your attorney. It sounds like they are concerned there may be a weakness in their actions (which is not to say I would sue them, but it would have to be a really nice bonus to give up my…

Barbara AHMOD - the dvd incident may be a bit off, it can also be its position, etc was a bit different so it didn't look the same. Also-if you don't have alot of emotional connection you just forgot because it isn't that meaningful. You knew what the device is! I've been told misplacing keys is normal-the time to worry is…

Well, I started this reply last Friday I think-I am behind and off track! Allie - I do hope Miles doesn't keep his dad's habits but it is a concern. Kylia - enjoy your car show time! Good news on heart monitor results Heather - sorry to hear of your brothers continued issues. Hope you get to visit him soon I really enjoy…

Kylia - nice to hear from you! I think our weight can ebb and flow - I'm going for the lifetime average! Allie - very good news on kidney. Hope Sean can get some things sorted out soon Kim - hope this is a wake up call for your brother. Good luck to you and family in coping. Mo - you certainly seem to have a full plate. Do…

Nasty rainy day here today-more of the same forecast for tomorrow. Big accomplishments for the day-washed bedding and towels, changed bed linens. Put dishes in dishwasher. Balanced checkbook and paid bills. More research on insurance plans. Chatted with SIL and cousin in Fla. Kids who live closest had their house go live…

Barbie - I also found that while the early appointments with Social Security seemed to take forever, once the formal interview was done it moved quickly. I called them earlier this week due to survivor benefits. Originally they had told me I needed to report when I stopped working (the windfall stuff if you have a…

Good morning all: Healing continues. Leaking stopped last Saturday evening. Have been taking it easy-don't want a restart! Wound looks to be healing well on the outside. Focusing on improving breathing-I didn't use spirometer with leaking (forceful exhaling lead to more leaking!). Get out of breath easily but should…

Kay - prayers for you and family.

Mo - I had sent a picture the first night I called and then a new picture the night before -they evaluated those with my symptoms (or lack of other symptoms) before making decision and giving me list of things to watch for that would change course of action. Had never heard of a Chyle leak before, nor have I had a drain in…

Sprung another leak last night! Not as extreme as earlier. Initial bandage made it through the night and I actually slept fairly well. Leaving for doctor in about an hour (office is an hour away). Hopefully no leaks on the way-will take a couple of washcloths and extra shirt in case. Hoping doc has magic answer and I can…

Good morning all: I have had an interesting few days un my recovery regarding drainage from drain tube site. (Spoiler) (Spoiler) Sorry for being so chatty but each person's cancer is different. For a long time since thyroid cancer is slow growing (for the most part), doctor's would say you have "the good cancer." For the…

Barbie- Glad you had SS interview. Please don't take their questions about past marriages personally. In some situations ex spouses can claim so they need to make sure the paperwork matches (shockingly, some people do falsify government applications!) Can't remember if I posted my biopsy results were as expected-three…

Oh-forgot to menton, son called me-he is on his way to Dublin, Ireland for work for a couple of days.

Lanette - brother and SIL are interested in moving from Georgia to the same community I am moving to! Kylia - your schedule tires me out! Rita - Stepping back from others is difficult-especially family-but it is necessary at times. Terri - thanks for the visual! I am having fun doing my hit and miss research. I have a…

Good evening ladies: Carol - I think most of us endure what we need to too. Allie - I am sorry you don't have an answer but am glad it is not c-dliff. I am in agreement with Margaret that it can well be your microbiome is messed up from the antibiotics. Pre and probiotics may be the ticket. It's miserable no matter what it…

Good morning all: Got home late yesterday afternoon. Most interesting thing is I sprung a leak! (Spoiler) Vicki - good luck Monday! Rita - sorry to hear about Brownie but so good that you had each other for so long, Heather -glad you heard from ex. Allie -I do hope you don't have another issue. Thanks for all of the…

Yesterday was mainly a blur. Didn’t get upstairs from recovery room until 3 or so waiting for a room. Completed two wedge resections to lower right lung. Removed initial tumot original concern and two others. This morning they determined a knick to part of lung filtration system/lymph node sort if things so basically have…

Betsy - So sorry for your losses. It is hard to move on from them. A rather prominent person who I have worked with and respected committed suicide on Friday. No one seems to have a clue as to what precipitated it. Have carloads take another load to Goodwill. Laundry is in process. I want to give living room rug a quick…

No problems for me with the storms-it seems they went just north of us or just south. I woke up once the first night to a rumble of thunder but went right back to sleep. Flooding is starting in some areas-Columbus and Dayton for sure-hope Kylia is on high ground! My house is on one of the highest points in the county but…

Dr. Katie when my husband died from self-inflicted illness, the doctor who worked with us and arranged for him to be taken off life support said "When a loved one dies, the reason does not matter. It is someone who is gone from us and our lives will never be the same." I experienced the same thing when my SIL died several…

DrKatie —thinking of you and family. Ginny

Worst of weather was south of me. There were three confirmed tornadoes in two counties to the south. Lots of rains and downed trees in various areas-the every popular straight line wind damage. Have not heard of any people being harmed in our part of state. More strong storms predicted for Wednesday on. Ginny in Ohio
