I do not like picking up little carcasses with my shovel.

A bird - pigeon or dove - just slammed into my sliding door window and has landed in a potted plant, unable to fly..........quivering its wings futilely -

HELP?

NEEAAARGGGHHHHhhh!!!!! (don't do birds either )

[jerseyangel]

Hi all,

Gearing up (phinally) for my follow-up wif the gastro today. I had my endo a freaking MONTH ago and this was the phirst appt they could give me--and I called the DAY AFTER the procedure

I also pheel lous-a....this cold has gotten the best of me Why do these things all happen at once?????

Oh well, could be worse, I know

Did anyone besides Julie see "Dirty Sexy Money" last night? I'm already back into it Julie--what didja think?

Good luck today, Amanda

Em--I agree, it's just wild that they sell treadmills for pets. What happened to taking a nice walk?? I'd much prefer to walk outdoors, but they drive pretty crazily here on these winding country roads. A goil takes her life into her own hands out there

Enjoy the day sillies--see ya later

<cocker glee>

This has happened too much lately for you

[elye]

It's the squirrels, I'm telling you. They MUST be behind it all. Coaxing the odd rat to "eat that stuff...it's delicious and harmless, really"...., convincing hapless birds that "it's a throughway into the house - - you can see right inside....go ahead, fly through....you're good".....

They are brillliant, charismatic and dangerous. . ......

Who can stop them??

thank you Nik, that's helpful. :lol:

sillies.......the sad little dead thing is out there, in the flower pot and........ohhhhhhhhhhhh I do NOT want to feel

the soft - or stiff - little carcass at the end of me shovel............

Patti - you have waited this long for an appt? gosh, that IS long! Well, hope it's phrtuitphul today and not something like our Ptaum's d%$#@#$baggery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[DingoGirl]

Well, I had to scoop up the beautiful, dead bird with my HAND TROWEL, to extricate it from the plant, and THEN onto the shovel.

It broke its neck in teh window crash, and blood was coming out of its closed eye.........dear gawd.....too much savage imagery for me. <erase - erase - erase>

I showed it to Annie, who was quite curious about it, and she opened her mouth and started to try and get it...........zoigs. A firm "NO" put a stop to this........wonder if the little scavenger would have eaten it?

so now, things in my trash can:

1. an old Nike soccer slide smeared with poo

2. dead, poisoned rat

3. dead, suicidal bird

[nikki-uk]

PADdeigh!!...good luck today ....full report needed after!

Who can stop them??

The Squirrels??

No one <scared >

thank you Nik, that's helpful.

Sorry!!! .....but that is a situation for Tel to deal with....shall I send him over??

[blueeyedmanda]

Woo-hoo I have 2 eyes again!!!!

My Dr said she couldn't tell if it was pink eye or allergies but looking at me today she thought I was fine and if she didn't know anything that I had told her she would assume that I never had any issues with my eye.

I have got to vent something.....Jen was supposed to come up here and help me do a few things this morning, she didn't and was not home when I ran out at 9:00. She is still not back but didn't have even the courtesy to call or send a message saying look something came up I'm sorry. I am really angry cause I waited for her. This isn't the first time she did this either! Any thoughts?

[elye]

Amanda! Shame on Jen. . . ..Things that you've mentioned to us in the past have made me suspect that Jen perhaps does not always respect your time, your needs, your incredible, unconditional support and friendship . . . ... . ...I dunno, I may be judging too harshly on situations I know too little about - - just a feeling.

OMG. . . . .The PHUNNIEST of lessons today. . . . I had squirrels on the brain, so held an impromptu pronunciation session. Now, the word "squirrel" is, bar none, the most difficult word for Francophone speakers to pronounce - - some simply cannot say it at all. So, I was hammering away at it, breaking the word into syllables and having them repeat it over and over, lengthening the sounds which continued to remain beyond them . . . ...

. . . . Perhaps you had to be there. . . . . ....

[blueeyedmanda]

Ok- so Jen has a good excuse this time-- Landen is in the hospital. She took him to the ER at 5 am and the ER discharaged him with a temp of 105. saying nothing was wrong. SO she took him to his Ped. who is not affliated with our hospital. Here he has double earaches and a rectal temp of 106...so they are going to put tubes in his ears ASAP....

[elye]

Oh, Amanda! Poor little Landen .. ....... . ..

Keep us posted. . . . .

Patti! How's your gastrointestinal situation??

[blueeyedmanda]

Yes Patti how are you after the Endo appt?

[Judyin Philly]

OMG Amanda this hosptial of yours

How in the heck do you miss a ear infection

in both ears???????????

A TEMP OF 106 IN THE PEDS OFFICE IS QUITE SHOCKING! IS HE IN THE HOSPTIAL NOW?

PATTI waiting for you to ck in now.Glad you eyes are ok Amanda!

[DingoGirl]

Yeah, aren't kids with fevers that high supposed to be in the hospital???????????????????

[Judyin Philly]

See Patti Typing--wonder what she found out today.............

[happygirl]

Yes, Patti, we are waiting and hoping you had a good appointment.

[Judyin Philly]

Man ----------Patti must be writing a book.

Or maybe............she found out all this wonderful info to share with all of us to help us all heal

[jerseyangel]

Amanda--poor little Landen, that baby's been through so much this year! Let us know how he does.

Well, we just got home.....all I can say is that this appointment was worth waiting for. The gastro spent over 30 minutes wif me, going over me tests/bloodwork/etc. She even ran a haplotype/gene test.....which incidently came out the same as Enterolab with the DQ2. No big surprise there, but good to know about the accuracy of Enterolab.

She's committed to helping me with my food intolerances and resulting D. We're trying sumphin for the next 6 weeks involving meds and a detailed food diary. At that point, I go back and she'll review the situation. She has a couple other ideas, so if this isn't successful we will go on to the next thing.

I may have to have another colonoscopy (had one 3 years ago), we'll revisit that too in 6 weeks. (not to check for anything sinister, but to take more biopsies for diagnostic purposes) She also told me she has some literature that talks about sprue and the colon, which she will read up on in the meantime.

I looked at her and asked her if I was a lost cause (tongue in cheek) and she said no--and that the goal was going to be to get me feeling better.

She sat and asked how this all started--she was very interested in the full picture. I have never had that happen before--her eyes were not glazed over, she was really listening. I'm so hopeful

[Jestgar]

Yay! A good doc visit!

TERRIFIC NEWS.

WOW! This is almost like Twilight Zone - - a listening, caring doctor. . . . ....

Good news, Patti!
