Hey Janet - - how is your boy doing? haven't heard anything.....and I rarely leave the safety of this wackl thread any more........

He's doing OK. They say this surgery is much worse on adults. I have decided it's because their mothers aren't there to make them eat and drink which is key in healing quickly. He would prefer not to eat at all and I tell him he has to . . . and he does pretty good. Last night was the first night that he (and therefore I) slept through without having to get up for more pain meds.

Moved on to any solids yet??...or still on the ice cream :P

Well, of course I am still on ice cream . . . Oh, you mean my son??? :embarrassedface:

See previous post . . . I forced him to eat some solids starting yesterday and we have progressed today. He wanted to know if he could have some crisps potato chips. I told him he could and that he needed to chew them verrrrrrryyyyy well so they wouldn't scratch. He had two!!! He snubbed his nose at my homemade banana milkshakes . . . I of course ruined them by adding . . . bananas!!!

Friends of David's are getting married on Sunday.

Oh jeez .. ...attending a wedding w/ a girlfriend was always a harrowing experience for me in the past.

Had to keep tabs on them getting that look in their eyes.

Ptaum , have you tried any French stuff? I quite lurve my Absente.

Quickie update... They've made huge progress on the fire this afternoon, and although it's still burning, it definitely looks like the worst is over!

Glad to hear all is well with DS, Janet...man, I could use a surgical incision in my throat right now, causing high pain when swallowing foodstuffs. That boy doesn't know how lucky he is!! <_<:rolleyes:

Okay, there are two pages to go until the Royal Flipover, and of course, I will be out this evening. Please keeps posting to a bare minimum until tomorrow afternoon, when I can sit for an hour or so, waiting....watching...coiled and ready to spring..... :lol:

OMG - you have no idea. Yes, we do have the look. when we were at David's on St. Pat's day, w/ about 10 people over, three of them (including Jenn) were pretending, while we were saying goodbye, to collectively vomit in this large paper bag one of them was carrying. Then, this guys says......"oh look! I can vomit from them without even sticking my finger down my throat!!"

And Jenn says....."that's why I call them my Kisseys." :lol:

Yes, the wedding will be outside in the desert, actually, on horseback, at a saloon, bar wenches and saloon doors creaking, tumbleweeds, a big old shootout, spurs, coyotes, all of it. :lol:

SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!! what in hell do I wear on the plane? :huh: You would all DIE if I told you the last time I was on a plane. I"m actually too embarrassed to tell you all. But, it was BEFORE 9/11. :( ( I do love flying - - but never have any money to travel and......being out of my comfort zone has always been difficult for me).

I ALWAYS ALWAYS look really ugly when I travel. There is no getting around this. Hair turns out badly, I get stains on myself, rumpled clothing, ugly outfits.....dear gawd. Poor David.

:lol: :lol:

okay well - - I guess I"ll wear jeans on the plane and.....some dark-ish shirt or sweater....lest I really DO have some spillage accident ( I wear a lot of white and 'tis just not practical for traveling - or, even for living, for that matter :blink )

A barely audible creaking noise punctuates the windless silence. Rusty hinges on the saloon half-doors protest quietly as a figure pushes through them. She stands in shadow...an odd curl of flaxen hair is illuminated by the setting sun, as is the smoke furling slowly from a long cigarette held brazenly in her gloved hand. She moves forward a step, and the light now catches the full crimson of her parted lips, shining beads around her long, pale neck.....

It is the alehouse slattern, emerging into the evening light to witness the Russian roulette match that will decide it all....which lover will take claim of her, forever....

Emily is going out tonight. Emily has a social life. Who knew?

Sarah's phire is losing strength. Hmm. I don't think that sounds like what I mean, that is, oh darn, just phorget it. Sarah, I do hope things are looking up phor you and your phamily.

Ptaum, as your second reign nears the end, and we await your successor, do you have any phinal royal thoughts as our only two-term (not consecutive) leader?

And Susie is off to Lost Wages for a wedding! But it isn't hers. I expect that will come in the course of time, but I suppose that Alex and Ryan will get there phirst. Alex, we haven't heard phrom you lately.

Okay, this was just a bunch of random thoughts. A phine phit in the happy phamily we call Sillyville.

It's Phriday Knight, time for a little phun before the weak end really starts. ;)

Just got back from the neighbors where we the moms and kids watched "Enchanted" and the dads watched basketball . . . hmmmmm, doesn't seem quite right.

My daughter has lost another tooth today. The second one this week. Right after we got home, she asks my husband "you want to know why my mouth feels weird" and my son immediately responded with "because it's tired from you blabbering all the time" . . . he's feeling better.

so. y'all remember my rant from a few pages back about the woman I had to work next to who spent most of her time websurfing?

Well there was kind of a big blowout today and my boss asked me what I thought would help my frustration. I said that I was planning to switch desks as soon as our student left at the end of the year. He offered me a different desk that was far less desirable, which I declined. Then I left early (after only 8 hours...). well, I just checked my email and she sent me a note saying she was moving her desk (to the less desirable desk) and I could find her there if I had anything to say to her.

I expect she'll still spend her time surfing, but at least I won't have to be around it.

GAH!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Good one!

Well, they'd gotten the fire pretty much put out on our side, but now it's cresting the top and trying to come back over again. <_< We've got a 20% chance of rain tomorrow though, that would help.

Maybe I'll go do a raindance out on the back deck!!! That would be fun.

I don't get it! He asks what would help your frustration... instead of asking her to curb her surfing! Something about that is bizarre.

Yeah, at least she's far away now, at The Crappy Desk.

Omg, where's Susie?! There's a SPAMMER over in "Other Food Intolerances and Leaky Gut Issues." Sic 'em Susie!!!!!!!

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
