Dave, you have to put Town Hottie and Town Troublemaker in your job description.

Done...but I must disagree :rolleyes:

Boy oh boy.

I leave to have dinner and you guys go south on me.

May I remind you that Rachelville has rules of decorum and dress. Mr. Dave--you at least need a tank top on while working we can't have all the women falling all over themselves (whether it be from laughter or fainting :lol: ). The rest of you, Mother Hen is back on patrol and expects better behavior. :P

It would be laughter...but my apologies to the Mother Hen!

:lol::lol::lol:

Village idiot you better fix you signature... :o:lol:

Done.

NO EFFIN' AFLAC GEESE!!!!!

If we have the aflac bird I'm moving out of Rachelville.

Don't ask why, too traumatic. A guy and a lot of vodka. I'll leave it at that.

Besides, the AFLAC bird is a DUCK. Geese honk, they don't quack :rolleyes:

(That was a premature post, I'm all caught up now though, as of 8:56pm)

Hmmm...ok, sounds like a pretty interesting story though!

And where are the Altoids?????

No that would be my parrot! That's what happens when you get a friend to babysit for a week, they teach your bird to say AFFLAC!!!! :lol:

I'm in your time zone, too!!!

Sorry about your parrot! I would kill whoever babysit your bird!

OMG- I go get a colonoscopy and have 20 pages to read, The Dave is half-naked and i don't even know him, and we're slow dancin', swaying to the music and Karen is ALREADY in the stright jacket. GREAT googly moogly i say! That'll learn me to take time out for an alien probe. :P

It was fine. My colon is A OK endoscopically speaking (sorry Dave- there is colon talk on here :ph34r: )

but won't know about microscopically OK on Friday. She took biopsies and pictures (wwhich I will NOT post for your viewing pleasure :blink: ). No evidence of colitis or IBD. She thinks probably C Diff despite negative test, but also is checking my thyroid, and it could be gall bladder because some people develop chronic D after having it removed (so then can I have it back please? :huh: )

Carla- I LOVE your new pic. So pretty!!!!!!!

Gotta run. Long day, many drugs (most of which were good but I have narcotic nightmares- these long dream that I can't escape from where mean, yucky things are happening). narcotics are NOT my friend. Would rather drink a bottle of tequila and hold a stick between my teeth. I'm probably the only perspn on the planet to take that!!!!! I'm tired. Yawn!!!! And it was a long day- had to leave for Boston at 5 a.m., endure alien probe, take said narcotics and then catch up on 20 pages in Rachelville. Want my bed!!!!! Love to all, esp. the purple glittery bats, Beverly

I think it would be safe to take off the jacket until night fall...when it gets late you might need to put it back on....

Dave, Dave, Dave........... you don't know me very well, do you......... It is NEVER safe with me around..... :D

Do the geese in Rachelville go around yelling AFFLAC?

-Dave

They are Canada Geese - they end everything with "eh"........

Beverly, if it is microscopic (collagenous) colitis they were looking for, it wouldn't be visible during the colonoscopy anyway. The only way to confirm is with a pathologist looking at the biopsy samples through a microscope.....

Okay, straightjacket going back on........

Beverly, glad everything went well today! That sounds horrible what the narcotics do to you, probably would do the same to me. I don't mix well with drugs.

Carla, good to hear you had such a great experience at Maggianos :)

I didn't make Dave do it, I just ordered him to :lol::lol:

You can take it off if you don't agree with it...

Yikes, That doesn't sound like fun.

Talitha's got her 3 month check back with the nephrologist on Thursday. We don't expect any problems and neither does he (the doctor).

I've got to get all the kidlets to bed. I'll be back later.

Night to all who need to leave before I get back. :P

Julie,

How's the diet going?

Did Rachel get lost. Grocery shopping takes up sooooo much time. :P

Dave,

Are you still with us? You're being awfully quiet if you are.

Another late night for Mitch. He went in between 4-5 this morning and still isn't home. :(

Good googly moogly gosh-I am gone for a few hours and The Dave is half naked (I even did an f5 and didn't SEE it, lol), drive by postings, everyone else asleep :blink: I am on daylight savings time too, but have insomnia quite alot.

Andrea, when do you sleep, girl! I meant to mention before, but my dh's grandmother was named Talitha. I never knew another. I love Biblical names, too.

Hey, The Dave, so, you work with Rachel? What exactly do you do? Is there a Mrs. Village Idiot? Tell us more about yourself. What are your hobbies? Do you by any chance make scrunchies or bracelets? Enquiring minds want to know, lol :P

Hey Robbin,

It's great to see you this late.

I usually head off sometime between 10:30 and 11:30 and don't get up until 7:30 or 8:00. Kids don't get up until between 7-8. I'm one of those that like to sleep my 8 hours. Kids names...Talitha, Micah and Seth....all bible names.

Wow...he must get some crazy OT!

I'm still here.....lurking mostly....not busy tonight...full moon must be gone huh?

Don't I wish. He gets paid by the mile. I'm one the phone with him now. He's about 2 hours away and waiting for another truck to get loaded, then he'll be on his way home. It'll be about midnight before he gets home and then he's out the door around 5 if not earlier.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
