@quilteryoyo Hmm. That might be a fair question for @Avidkeo since I assume she does measurements. It could be that your doc, like many I've come across, like to read their own radiographs. His measurement might be different than the radiologists. Or he just rounded and decided to put you on the surgical schedule... which…

@bearly63 good to see you!!!

@shanaber I love your changing avatars with Master Hobbes. I am looking forward to the time change only because I don't have to drive in darkness as long with the dear deer out and about. Of course, it's an extra hour to sleep and get organized. @shanaber Sure your Pt/doc understands better than I with the hip-knee. I have…

Wow, I can't believe that yours is not pressing enough right now even with covid. Texas had the spike in cases and my bone surgery was only pushed out about 6 weeks. Hang in there and hope its all for the best. poor poo bear Still not his lovey spunky self. Dh decided he needs a vet appointment tomorrow, I agreed. I had a…

How I get back at DH for being a... er, um.. DH @quilteryoyo Swear that anaesthesiologist. But then I might have made the same conclusion as he. Perhaps the two had a history. Mine always phone me a few days before and the night before and show up before the surgery. I suppose he and his team ( a CRNA) will show up before…

Thanks @quilteryoyo . You always make me feel so normal and I so appreciate that. I am crying more with the lower doses. Still no rx for the new script or the ultrasound. I'll have to make a call. Blood work is in. Glucose was flagged high at 100 fo fasting. It's always about that. I didn't see a1c. Serum albumin is high…

I ate a ridiculous amount of food today. 1/2 a frozen pizza, cheerios w frozen blueberries, 1/2 a lemon meringue pie and 3 homemade tacos. ~2500-3000+ calories i guess, no way I'm looking at the pizza box or the pie box! Jerks do seem to be much less today. That's good. I can put CJD, ALS, schizophrenia, brain tumors, and…

Yes, I am supposed to be on a lower dose but don't have it, I left an email with the PCP yesterday, but unsure anyone ever checks it. I might call later once I feel a little more with it. I did take a low dose late last night and today. Cold turkey can make things worse, seizures. I was just kinda feeling it out yesterday.…

I have learned through my homework that I probably have cluster headaches as well as migraines. Interesting. My book noted that they are often perceived as allergies and seasonal changes, exactly why I had these symptoms. Also, migraines are a result of low socioeconomic status and low education. HUH? I actually read the…

Oh it's just a screenshot, not a video, sorry for the confusion. I blame lots of HW, headaches, lack of antidepressant, and human existence for the oversight.

I forgot a driveway update, cuz I know it was something everyone was wondering about. Here's a cheating pic from the security cameras. I only checked them because I heard dd talking outside, then she didn't come in. So my lazy Beary tent of a butt just checked the cameras. No dd. I think it's time for a nap, maybe bear…

@Avidkeo LOL! I love the snail! It is beautiful! I am already stalking my patient portal for labs. No idea why, I know it'll be a few days!

The armpit is probably a lipoma or a fat glob an I have an ultrasound for it. Waiting for the appointment call now. I hope what ever it is, they can/will remove it. Cuz it's bothersome. The muscle jerks could be the antidepressant. Although they did start before, I agreed to wean off of it and see, then follow up withy…

LOL! I figured! It was still readable-ish. :)

today was ok so far. (neither here nor there) I got to the university and no one was there... uh oh. Class was delayed until 9am, which was perfect for me since I have another bathroom emergency. I am actually below my "oh no!" weight but anticipate that it is poop/water weight. sorry that is honest and not pc! Being…

I am not an American at heart either. I am still trying to find "home"! I understand the comment. It is true that there is an air, in our culture of, pompous grandiosity. It's just pathetic. I was astounded when I heard someone from uh... Norway? maybe or Sweden that you can have conversations with the men and they…

@Avidkeo offend Americans that have to deal with American doctors all the time? Not a chance. We’ve all come across those that are so full of themselves! Americans and American doctors! Lol!

@Avidkeo that er doc is a butt. Hope you get some rest.

@quilteryoyo BW is lazy for blood work. @RunsOnEspresso was the scorpion sting bad? DH got stung once and said it hurt but quickly went away, only 1/3 as bad as a wasp. I wonder if he only got half stung or if your DH is allergic? Beary just watched one crawl under the couch last week like "meh...ma theres a bug for you"…

yes I anticipate taking the magnesium supplement, but I am trying to leave the Mg level where it is (til tuesday), so I can identify that that is the cause. If the serum level is fine, then I'll think I need to see a neurologist and that might be a lot of testing, assuming they don't do BW first, and it's in Dallas so it…

@quilteryoyo LOL! yep Dh might like that! I came across a large metal cut out of bigfoot the other day and told Dh I really wanted it. I don't believe in BF, but this thing was cool, about 7 feet tall and gold/brown. It'd be neat to put just off in the wooded area, especially for halloween and the neighborhood kids to get…

@ddmom0811 No I didn't post a pic of the actual tattoos. I didn't want to get caught. I mean, have to explain to dh. He can be understanding but I fear all his see is the hair gone. Heres the ohm ans the eye I am sure you've seen before. just think of the Egyptian eye, that what it is. @Avidkeo I am excited about your…

stupid edit not edit... @Avidkeo I meant to tag you in the doc office comment.

I am utterly exhausted. I finally got that assignment turned in at 1238 AM which turned into 35 pages. I hope today can be a rest day, my house is at that point where it needs cleaned and spot cleaning isn't going to cut it. I tried to sleep in but bear was lovey and dh's add med has made him introspective and chatty,…

@Avidkeo I hope your nap is restoritive. I am up after 5 hours of sleep and hope for a nap later if I can get this huge major care plan done that is due in 24 hours. Food I was fairly responsible yesterday with a long day (for me 8-6). Subway tuna, pot pie and nachos before bed. Eh... guess the IBS attack made me feel…

I got the nervous poops on the way to the tattoo place. Thank goodness for a clean gas station and an open stall. Nothing like an ibs attack. I had the restroom alone mostly until another ibs-er arrived. Poor soul. I blame jalapenos and sugar in the little bit of lemonade I added to my diet coke at lunch, and nerves. *Nail…

You know if more men had breast cancer there would be more aggressive identification and treatment. Prostate cancer is the most curable cancer ya know. Men and their dumb man parts.

I wish they would start with identifying the BRCA 1/2 genes and what not. Some of us don't know family history and what if there's a run of genetic luck where gma, mom, and aunts didn't have it? I wasn't going to mess with the mammogram at all. No family that I know of had it, I breastfed and just didn't feel led to do it.…

@Avidkeo when is it suggested that you start watching for breast cancer with a relative? I think I’ve heard 40 but can’t recall exactly. I know it can happen very early when it runs in families. They want me in once a year. No way. Two in the last 3 years seems about right for me, lol! Although I may go for 3 in 5 years…

The 3D exam was no different from the previous one I had. Squish was a bit tighter, it not bad.
