I am so bad at being not well. Follow up is 1 month after surgery.

Stopping the pain meds was a good idea. Made me much more aware of when I was overdoing it.

I'll try doing gentle stretches throughout the day. Maybe just being in a multitude of positions will help, even if they aren't strenuous.

:D Yeah--you kinda go stir crazy. What you don't want to happen is adhesions.....(not to mention popping an internal stitch) that's why it's best to keep to walking and changing positions (carefully) right now. I learned this the hard way after my c-section. I was much younger and bounced back rather quickly.....mowed the lawn after 3 weeks :ph34r: .....guess what I developed? :P

After my 5 week follow-up (this time), I was cleared to do almost everything--so be patient and be a good patient :lol:

SILLIES - - I have been working out SO HARD at the gym - I think i've.......torn things..... :unsure: am in SO much pain adn too old for this sort of activity............shoulder/hip/back - what in hell? it didn't USED to hurt this much when I worked out........... :angry: getting old SUCKS!

Gawd, ain't it the truf! <_<

Think I'd be slowly backing toward the door if upon entering I saw metal stirrups affixed to his chest freezer........ . . . . ... :o:lol:

I've written 5 weeks of sick leave, but I'm set up to work from home, so I can extend that by doing part time from home, if I need to. Any longer than 5 weeks and it's my vacation time and heaven forbid I use that for lollygagging and not traveling.

A bit of cute for you.

Since I'm home, I've been leaving the door open so the cats can go out. Max doesn't go much farther than the porch, and Lefty doesn't really leave the yard, although he is fascinated with the green space behind my house. If I haven't seen Lefty for a while I'll go out and call him. He always comes running, and he seems to think that I'm calling him because I need his comfort. He runs up to me, stands up, puts one paw on my knee, and reaches the other up to be picked up.

It is unbelievably adorable.

Hi everyone

. ....what day is it already?

I guess my brain's coming around a little . ...but still SO far from silly.

And been too tired to even make dinner sometimes.

Yesterday, at a lab for a blood draw (4th visit to do what should've been done in one visit - thyroid & CBC), I'm so ***** stupid, I forgot my own zipcode.

Far cry from the wordplay & perma-smile of days gone by. :(

When I'm incapable of laughter, or even an amused smile, it's .. .. ..argh depressing isn't quite the word . .. .irksome? .. ... maddening? . .. ..well it's just not fun to read the silly.

If I lost my sense of taste, would I bother seeking out favorite foods?

I can't tell if I'll EVER have as much fun conversing as I had every day of those 5 or 6 months last year.

Maybe I'll try to catch up late at night - brain sometimes a little better then.

jerseyangel Proficient

Aw Pataughmn..... :( .......you're gonna get this figured out and then your inner Silly will reappear. You just get yerself better and read along or don't read, whichever you need to do. We'll be here :)

HI, PTAOUGHMHGMN!! :):)

Um......doesn't everyone forget their postal codes on occasion?? :unsure::huh:

That is a great comparative question, Ptaoughmghmn....I'm sure the answer would be NO, that you wouldn't be craving or even interested in delicious food were your taste gone. So, it's understandable that you have no desire to come into Sillyville when nuttin' seems phunny to ya....... .. . We understand, and hope that your true Silliness resurfaces and has us cackling away post after post. We've missed you! .. ...Sounds like you've been missing yourself. :)

I wanna Lefty!! :wub:

More about my doctor's house later..........quite an appointment......... :lol:

and why in hell did you tell me about those goat lotions? You KNOW how tortured I am when I see something yummy and can't smell it............ :huh:

I can't tell if I'll EVER have as much fun conversing as I had every day of those 5 or 6 months last year.

Oh Tom. :( This sounds like true depression and.......maybe something else is biologically wrong? I hope the blood work will reveal something.....I think help is needed. Sending a package your way. ;)

So, went to my doc's house. :huh::lol:

I did not have to crawl upon his freezer, as he doesn't do that kind of examination....just eyes, reflexes, BP, etc. It's more talking.... .a LOT of talking, going over blood sugar levels, trends and patterns, meds.....essentially, my life in an hour. His house is 100 years old, a huge, sprawling, gabled stone manse. I'm glad I did not have to do window duty....just too many of them. And I did hear a clothes dryer going in the background, so I kept wondering if I was going to have some folding to do.....

Ironing?? Bah! This I would refuse............

:rolleyes:

Folding might be good for your blood pressure...

Gah! Thank gawd, I have superb BP....today it was 112 over 76, as per usual. Something, something, I don't have to worry about......!!

He did have to go and get his BP monitor from the kitchen, where his teenaged son and buddies were seeing how much, and how quickly, their numbers would go up after each successive espresso was pounded back.......

And.....he needed to renew my Eltroxin prescription, and could not find his scrip pad anywhere in his office. I'm quietly starting to wonder about that teenaged son of his, when his wife opens the office door and places the pad on his desk - - she'd used it to jot down phone numbers and appointment times while doing the reception work...... .. . . . . ..

It is an interesting atmosphere in which to be... . . . .. :huh::rolleyes:

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y
    • Scott Adams
      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
