Sillies I have a favor to ask and since this is the Silly Thread I guess I am allowed....

I listen to this awesome radio station out of Rochester NY which we found while on our Honeymoon...I stream it over the net at work but it is an actual FM station. My favorite DJ is in a popularity contest with other DJ's in the Rochester area for the next few weeks. He won last week's round and today started a new round. Could you all throw some votes his way for me? It won't let you vote on the same computer more than once a Day. Anyway he has been on the radio for 15-20 years and up there he is very well respected.

The website is called RochesterInsider. You would click on the Radio March Madness link and then hit the vote here button. It will show you 4 match-ups. He is on the bottom of the first column. His name is The Mayor Pete Kennedy and he is matched up against a girl. He is currently losing.

Thanks Everyone!

Ps---- He is a cutie in my eyes too!

if anyone is offended by this I will delete my post too....

They told her she needs to bleach her entire house top to bottom. She is going to try to grab a 2nd opinion now so hopefully she gets somewhere. They always say a mothers instinct and she says she herself feels like something else

is going on

:huh: Bleach???......yeah , the fumes will be really good for a little baby...NOT :angry:

IMO a good doc always listens if Mum thinks there is something wrong

Had a great time--my dad was truly surprised. He is a very quiet gentleman, and true to form, after we all yelled "Surprise" upon his arrival--he calmly turned to me and said--"everyone's here." :rolleyes::lol:

Twas a bit dicey the first hour or so of the drive up--felt some creeping panic but was able to breathe out of it eventually. Amanda--I did look for you--we probably just missed each other. I'm so sorry about poor little Landon.

It was so nice to see everyone--can't remember the last time I laughed so much! When we got into town, we drove by the church we were married in--it was 33 years to the day and almost (by the time we got there) to the hour! Pretty cool....it looked exactly the same :)

33 years Patti???...........NAH - you don't look old enough in your new av (positively GLAM!!)

Glad you had a good time - (and your Dad :) )

EMILY - :lol: Also glad YOUR Mum had a good birthday and loved her bib (how could she not?? :lol: )

Oh heeeellllp me!!!.........what have I done???? :unsure: ..........I seemed to have pulled a muscle in my neck/shoulder.

Watching me 'try' to turn my head is no end of amusement - dunno if I over done it with the 2 gym classes OR it's from crashing out on the couch !!!! :lol:

Where's Jess?? - I neeeed the number of her masseuse :o

Patti!! Great av!!! (You look not a day over 38 you spring chicken you!!) <bawk!>

And a smile :) at the great time you had.

Seeing the church of nuptiality sounds really nice. :)

Update

What is wrong with the world?

Indeed.....bleach.....no possible ear infection......

Come on. :angry:

I'm back!!!!!

Had a great time--my dad was truly surprised. He is a very quiet gentleman, and true to form, after we all yelled "Surprise" upon his arrival--he calmly turned to me and said--"everyone's here." :rolleyes::lol:

What a GREAT pic, Patti! You look terrific, as does your dad.

Didn't get a shot of me with Mom.....so much going on, I just didn't ever get my hands on the camera.

Sillies I have a favor to ask and since this is the Silly Thread I guess I am allowed....

Done. I'm voting for him on looks alone..... :rolleyes:

33 years Patti???...........NAH - you don't look old enough in your new av (positively GLAM!!)

Totally in agreement. You look young, girl!

Oh heeeellllp me!!!.........what have I done???? :unsure: ..........I seemed to have pulled a muscle in my neck/shoulder.

Heat for ten minutes, then ice for ten minutes...do it for an hour if you can, then take a break and do another hour, say, before you go to bed.

Em puts the Fun in Functional, bib-wise. :)

Ah! Phunny you should choose this word, Ptaum....said bib was anything but functional. :lol: So hilarious....I ended up using thinned acrylic paints, as it was too big an area to be using very expensive fabric paints. Well, the terry of the bib just kept sucking it in, so I was plying the paint on with reckless abandon, as I wanted it to be quite vivid. Well, it is vivid....but I probably used three entire cans of paint. It is rather....stiff. More amusing, it weighs probably fifteen pounds, so my mom put it on and just about collapsed on the couch. :lol: So, she will be wearing it when she is eating while reclining, and there won't be that huge drag on her neck. :lol:

It would probably work well as a dental bib, worn to keep radiation from leaking through to one's body during Xrays. I would bet it's bullet-proof.

Perhaps a whole new market.......

Can Do.

Jen (Landen's mom) has applied for a nursing position in my office which will be better for her. My office is very understanding on families and sick time. It would be better for her right now.

The Sillie votes have put him over the edge--with us behind him, he can't lose :P

This is SO funny....I can just see your poor little mom trying to stand in her bib and saying "yes dear, I love it, really :unsure: ", all the while trying not to topple backward :o

Ha! Actually, it went something like this (I'm paraphrasing): Mom snaps the bib around her neck, tries to stand without pitching forward, and shouts, "Un-f*cking-believable!! My neck's gonna snap!" :lol:

She did, however, love the picture itself, and will take it downstairs to their dining room and put it on when she's about to sit down. :rolleyes:

Patti, I bet you look remarkably like your dad...I can see a resemblance in your two faraway picture faces, so it must be very evident in real life!

The poor little thing. Such a shame he had to suffer so long with it :(

Hopefully the meds kick in quickly and he's better soon.

      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.

      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.
