It's Sunday; What's Up?

Either someone began the what's up post who has me on ignore or you guys are just busy.  So, what's up?  I had no coffee so had to run to the store to buy coffee and can never buy just one item. I ended up with four bags full of groceries. It is cold here and I had to turn the heat back on but it is supposed to warm up so maybe I will go straight from the heat to the air.  Coffee is almost finished dripping so I'll get a cup and for those who are still my friends, talk away.

Wow, I cannot believe how good the coffee is this morning.  I buy the beans and grind them so they are less stale than the already ground filler filled coffee.  Anyway, I made a pot of coffee, put one half of an English muffin in the oven and am set for the day.  My legs are still sore from the hike but I am not unable to get things done.  I'm heading back to the park to hike with friends and hope that I am over the soreness.  Yesterday, the guy who mows the yard found a batch of bunnies and I told him to leave the grass around that area alone, so my yard is nice and cut but for a huge area where the bunnies are hidden.  This morning, I watched the mommie bunny eating grass seeds in that area so she hasn't abandoned them.  Last year, my husband ran over a nest and one of the babies died, but the others made it and I built their nest back and put them back inside but the next morning, I looked out and saw them following their mother to the hedge at the side of my house.  The ones our gardner found were too young to follow their mother so I'm happy she is keeping them fed. 

They have finally diagnosed my husband's illness and we are awaiting the treatment.  He has crones but for the last couple of years, his health has taken a turn for the worse.  We thought it was the crones, as did his pcp.  But, over the last six or so months, he has suffered with such pain that the pcp began sending him out for test.  The last doctor that he went to ordered a whipples test and it came back positive.  The treatment is two weeks of IV antibiotics and two years of oral antibiotics.  First, though, they have to make sure that the treatment doesn't exaserbate his crones.  I told the immunologists that he better find a cure or a treatment, because my  next consulation was going to be with the vet.  Of course I was joking, my husband has been and is a good husband and I will take care of him like he has taken care of me.  I'm just happy they have put a name to his problem.  He has been so sick.  When my husband is too sick to go antic hunting or too sick to go rock hunting, I know there's something wrong. 

 

jeannie-so good that your hubby's pcp sent for more testing-my michael has many of the symptoms of this whipples- i had to go read about it--but our pcp's in past have never believed his pain complaints...some of the other symptoms too...

We were lucky that the pcp sent him to an immunologists.  Since my husband has crones, they usually run all the gastro tests to determine the involvement of his ulcers ect; however, his symptoms were not matching the colon part so the first thing the imuno guy did was ordered a simple blood test and there it was.  Unfortunately, he has had this so long, he already has permanent damage.  Have your pcp order the blood test.  Also, the blood test doesn't always show it.  Have your pcp send him to an imunologists.  Good luck

Wow, I cannot believe you guys are having such a wondeful day.  I agree that something should be done about the ozone layer and the cruelty to animals.  I, too, hope that scientists are able to create a new energy source or harness the wind so that we can clean up the mess made from fossil fuel. 

I agree that when we start looking into other folks' bedrooms, we are getting just a little too strange. I, for one, believe that two consenting adults should be able to decide what is best for them as far as marriage, reproductive rights, and sex.  Just because I don't spoon doesn't mean spooning should be outlawed.  Right?

Okay, on the chance that people didn't understand that the what's up is for the Sunday what's up, I changed the title to see if I will get more than just readers. 

My friend just came by and told me our obese friends is talking to her about maybe having wls.  I am so excited.  I've talked to her and her mother has talked to her and even my son talked to her and she was like not even going to consider it, but now she is talking about maybe having it done.  I am really afraid that if she doesn't have it done, she will not live long.  Her feet are so swollen from her poor circulation, and she is only 24 or 25, that you cannot even see her ankles.  If she ever hurts her legs, I fear she will never walk again.  So, she is thinking about it.  YEAH!

I wasn't going to post as you know the welcome signed was taken down for me, but did want to comment to you. I understand about the ignore function. It is hard to read a thread when all I see is yours. I would say that about 80% have me on ignore also. It's too bad, as I felt my posts were educational to many and especially new comers. It's sad really that a few can ruin it for others. By ignoring me, they just might be missing something that just may save their life. But how do I know? guess my almost 9 years don't account for anything.

Nice to see you my friend.

Yeah.  What's really sad is they read but don't comment.  Oh well, their loss.  I've been hanging out at the GLBT forum and the rant and rave because at least they are more accepting of diversity.  As far as the ignore, those who ignore me don't bother me as badly as my old friends who don't want to post on my threads because they will seem like a traitor to those who are in that group.  I have felt so let down by them that my eyes watered about a minute. LOL.  I do miss Karen and Karen and a few of the others.  Oh well, it's okay. 

So, we can read each other's post and comment.  We can support one another.  Oh, did you see where I did that huge hike? 

So, how the **** are you?

Yes I read that, I am so jealous.....you are doing amazing.
Me? I lost my job last week. The legal issues with my mom and her accident are weighing heavy on us. It appears we are soon to be homeless. Even though those involved were compensated by the insurance company they are coming after the family for more and a wrongful death suit. It's sad. None of us deserve it, we have all worked so hard to have what we have, some of us have gone thru more than the other family members, but we don't deserve losing everything to un-documented illegals from Mexico.

Other than that, life stinks.....my life is depressing, many times have I have thought of chosing to end it. But the only thing that keeps me going are my grandchilden. I'll post you their picture here and you can see why.

I am really sorry that there are those afraid to post because of me. I feel it is your loss. Just don't read my posts.

Here's the kids.....
