Yes, that thought had in fact occurred to me.........

:blink:

I'm going to do an informal poll . . . let me know what you think.

My aunt and uncle have a house on a lake in Tennessee (they live in New York). For the past 6 years we have vacationed in SC at the beach with another family. The thinking is to do something different this year. I volunteered to ask my aunt & uncle if we could use their lake house. Before I got around to asking, my uncle ended up in the hospital and had quintupal (?) bypass surgery. How long should I wait to ask? Does this sound bad?

Hey, Uncle Mike, how are you feeling? Can we use your lake house?

Um, I have no idea.

:blink:

Oh, I know!!!!!! :rolleyes: I'll call him and ask, but ONLY if I can come to Lake Tennessee also (um my dad spent his boyhood in Tenn. BTW)

You're On!!!! It's nothing fancy but 'tis on the water. It's close to Knoxville. Where 'bouts did your dad live? Oh . . . just thought of something. I need to warn the other family that dogs have been there. They are allergic - all three of them (but only one somewhat severly). Blast it, I think that might be a deal breaker! You better hold of calling until I check. You could still call just to see how he's recovering from surgery . . .

Here's the weird/creepy part about it all. My dad and his sister both had heart attacks and bypass surgeries withing two weeks of each other. Their father died of a heart attack at the age of 48/49. A couple of years later my dad has a stroke (blocked carotid artery). A couple of weeks after that, his sister went in and explained her family health history. They scanned her (not sure what test that was) and found her carotid artery 97% blocked and told her she was a stroke waiting to happen. She had some preventive roter-rooting done. Now my uncle is the age that my dad was when he had his heart surgery . . . methinks it's time to get his carotid checked, too.

So I see this quoted in one of Susie's posts and say . . . Where the Hell did that come from? . . . I never saw that!!!!

Yes, Yes, everyone can come if this other family backs out as predicted. And if they don't . . . Well, dang, it's gonna get crowded but WTH. Now for the tough answers . . . his surgery was last Monday. He is still in the hospital with some complications - fibrillation issues. Same thing happened to my dad :ph34r:

I can call, too! Or my dad can, in any voice you choose...Dalai Lama, Russian spy, Ella Fitzgerald...I wanna see Lake Tennessee! And I"ll be sure to bring the Twister game, and we can decide on whether or not to involve the beer-balancing option...

:lol::lol:

OMG - my perfect, Stepford neighbor just did another of her famous POP-INs...........

You shall take a couple of your wonderful muscle relaxants when you feel certain that said neighboUr will be by, and then answer her frantic knocking. Everything she says will seem hysterically funny, you will be wetting your pants laughing, and y'know, she may not be back... :)

Call and check in on him .... later call and ask about the lake house.

Andrea keeps us all in line on the OMG thread. She keeps track of our appts. our test results, and our mood, or whatever else needs taken care of. :)

Oh, and I just got word from another grammar-head that we can now end a sentence in a preposition according to either the Oxford English Dictionary or the Chicago Manual of Style. The reason is that it's become the common way of talking .... the other way sounds funny .... language evolves.

Yes, Yes, everyone can come if this other family backs out as predicted.

You do know I have SIX kids and live close to Tennessee, right? :P

Oh, I LOVE drop-ins! I live right in the downtown of our little town .... everyone knows they are welcome at any time, and if I don't feel good, I may still be in my jammies.

The only problem is, I haven't reconnected with many since moving back a year ago and being sick, so no one really pops in ... but it's so well-known that it's welcome that I've even had a seminarian stop in and ask me if I had any dinner leftover or a peanut butter sandwich .... it was about 9PM (this was someone I did a lot of youth work with). I love it.

Once in Indiana when I was a member of a quintet, I got the times mixed up and wasn't home yet .... I was about 20 minutes late, so by the time I got there, they were already all set up in my family room .... had moved chairs from the dining room ... we always left our door unlocked (I know this is a foreign concept to you Californians!).

So, anytime, just stop by!

Thank you Patti for clearing it up sooner. :)

Ah but the disagreeability of the Seinfeldian pop-in far exceeds the neighboUrly pop-in (pssst susie missed the U earlier & I'm a tattletale :P ).

The been-on-a-date-or-3 pop-in is in an entire different leeeeeaaaaaaaague, imho.

<how'd that 'h' get in there?>

Just the fact that the dating popper-inner ( :lol: ) went out of his or her way is a grand distinction.

(Oops! loophole for those of YOU who date neighbours :lol: ) <timeout .. . .still chuckling>

I didn't mind neighboUr pop-ins when I had neighbours I liked.

Been awhile.

Too many years as a virtual shut-in. :(

Just back from T-joe's where the checkout guy said "Welcome Back!"

I quizzically eye him and say "Really? You remember ME?"

He says "I'm sure I've seen you before".

So while it's a pretty safe assumption that ppl at T-Joe's HAVE been there before, I barely recognize mySELF right now, as only a couple hrs ago I had ~3-4 lbs of hedgehog removed. Yes, a haircut after letting it get longer than it's been in years.

Just walking up to the car and seeing a short-haired bloke's reflection in the window makes me think I'm not alone!!

So, Tom got his ears lowered :lol:

Just never been a fan of the pop-in. Sounds nice, in theory, but I like to be prepared. Must be all the years of having unpredictible (nice way to put it) bathroom habits. <_<

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
