differ tangentially

Good morning all (including the frog).

[FiveNotions]

tangentially related ...

 

Frog? ok, clearly I gotta' back up a page and find out how the frog got in here ... 

[FiveNotions]

ok, Uncle Google just explained the "boiling frog" anecdote to me ...

I'd say it aptly describes my years on crapalta ...

Stuff behind

Interesting about the boiling frog. Thanks FN for the link.

Oh wow, I feel as though I have been in the twilight zone and slowly getting out.
There is, there seems to be a blood cloth lodged in the right urethere(French) following the uretheroscopy and cystoscopy done last Tuesday.

And I thought that anxiety was the worst, wrong wrong and wrong. The pain is out of this world. Going back for ultrasound in afternoon.

On that, good morning!

Morning!

 

I am so sorry for you, Gail - the worry and the pain

 

I know that everyone here is keeping you in our thoughts and prayers

Love and hugs for you

Oh dear Gail, I am so sorry ... rest assured, I'm "storming Heaven" for you ! Keep us posted ! 

[gail]

Life beginning

All in the clear, blood cloth has passed so I think.
Swollen urethere of course.

If I see an other emergency room, I think that I will be sick!

Desperate people, desperate staff, overworked, depressing sight.
A place where humanity barely exists, it does exist at times, and thank God we have them...just the same.

People can wait here up to 15hours and more at times,to be seen. So sorry for all of them.

Enough of that, I will enjoy a brandy, perhaps two!

[TryinginFL]

beginning anew

 

 

Gail, that is wonderful news!  Hopefully you will never have to see another ER

 

I told Max and he immediately broke into his "happy dance"!!  He was so worried about you and sends his love

 

Enjoy that brandy and thanks so much for the update, dear friend

[gail]

Anew hopefully

Thanks Liz and my beloved Max.

I feel that I have developed PTSD from this ER adventure....

Getting used to your laptop Liz?

Thanks to all for payers and good wishes.

[fishinghat]

hopefully optimistic

 

Makes sense Gail. Most ERs are like a war zone.  lol

[gail]

Optimistic thoughts

Sure is. A pitiful sight. I am serious about that PTSD. One of my worst fear was and is, the hospital. Boy, was I ever served.

Spring is coming back in the province. Last two days, I had to put on heat in the place.

And now, if the monster can come back from the roof, I will go check the woods.

[fishinghat]

thoughts warm

 

in the 90s here. High humidity.

[Raven72]

warm wishes

 

Gail I will keep you in my prayers. I have people up there and will make sure they put a good word in so that things can get better.

 

Morning everyone - been getting in the 90's here as well.

[TryinginFL]

wishes received

 

 

Wow!  Raven and FH, you may as well be down here...

 

Heat and humidity is horrible and only 5 months to go

[gail]

Received message

You would love it here, seventy or so degrees,windy,a drop here and there.
Raven, thank you!

Forgot to say that my last work day was last Monday. Got all the time, no more hurry for the next three or four months. So I will be nagging you all!

[FiveNotions]

message alert

 

---

sorry, couldn't think of anything better to go with "message" ...

 

Gail, wonderful news ! 

 

Our ERs are equally bad here in the US ... my buddy Fr. Gerry ended up in one last month, with a leaky artery ... they couldn't find a bed for him after the surgery ("noninvasive procedure") ... so post-op they sent him back to the ER  

[gail]

Alert(the)President

That is awful FN. I hope that our buddy is doing good, both buddies.

Right, as I said, call Monsieur le President!!!!

[TryinginFL]

President disliked

 

 

Time for Cubs/Nats game - FN, you should be dancing!

[Carleeta]

disliked personnel

 

Gail, you are in my prayers.  Good news about the blood clot.  I know all to well about the ER's.They are unfortunately not a sight for sore eyes, let alone for someone who is not feeling well.  I'm down there at least 3 times a week for some nurse who doesn't understand our new technology for getting specimens into the lab.  It's basically because we (all hospitals, clinics, and medical offices) are so understaffed.  All that matters is you were treated properly...

FN. hope your friend is doing better.  A rough go of it for sure.

Raven. your in the 90's and here in NY we are in the high 50's.  Can't believe our weather.  My heat has been back on for three days...very unusual for us this time of year.  looking for the 70's tomorrow and climbing thereafter.

Fishinghat.....Hello! Hello! Hello!.......

[FiveNotions]

personnel change

 

-----

 

Realized the other day that for the first time in over 20 years I no longer have a psychiatrist on my list of "medical personnel" ... because no more crapalta or Wellbutrin (or benzos or paxil or celexa or lexapro etc etc etc)... a most welcome personnel change !! 

[TryinginFL]

change clothes

 

Morning all!

 

Ah, today is massage day Most helpful for the fibro...

 

How is everyone?

[Raven72]

clothes line

 

I could so use a massage.

 

Having a setback that has lasted a few weeks now but hoping to turn the corner soon.

 

Hi, Liz

 

Gail, how are you doing?

 

FH hope you are well.

 

Carleeta, embrace with your tales of joy.

 

FiveNotions: Hope you are well.

[TryinginFL]

line drawn

 

 

Hey there, Raven!

 

Good to have you back - you have been missed  

 

Happy to hear that you are feeling better - it's a terrible trip, isn't it?  Hang in there, girl - we're proud of you!

[Raven72]

drawn closer

 

Thanks, Liz it's nice to have a safe haven.

[gail]

Closer together

Today was a great day! Did many things pleasurable.

When those days come, boy, what a joy!

Walking in a trail this morning and I find some kind of cylinder about four or five inch high. I pick it up, look at it, price tag 19.99$. What the heck is this? Open the top part and I find that it contains pot! Look it up on Internet, a Marijuana grinder. Anyone for it?

Raven, as I said, doing good for today! I do hope you turn this corner soon.

[FiveNotions]

together again

 

------

Wonderful way to savor the good days, Gail ! And that's quite a "find" out there in the woods ... never heard of a m**** grinder ... well, now you've got some "special spice" to add to your "salad" ... what the heck, maybe it'd help put The Bear to sleep ?!  

[gail]

Again going

Nah! Will stick with the wine, salt and pepper,that M stuff gets me paranoid.

Funny, had spelled that word and it was censured, I guess the M******* word is considered like a swearing word. Whatever...

[TryinginFL]

going crazy

 

 

Wish I had some of that M stuff!  What an interesting find you had - never heard of one of those! 

 

What will they think of next??
