Day?

Bingo!!!! :D

Wish I knew . . . here is a horrible statistic that I, of course, had to go count out . . . I've been home for eight out of the last 32 days. . . ugh . . . I'm sure Lisa can relate.

Yup. Was in Texas for 5 weeks straight. The alternate reality becomes your new reality.....we started calling the trailer we lived in 'home'.

Loved all the 'Sonny' names :lol: ......even better than the real one!

Ironing on the bed! :lol: Isn't that tough on the back? I used to have a breakfast bar (?? it's what I called it anyway) between the kithen and dining room. That was *my* ironing board! Was good enough for who it was for! :P

JGEssS...farmer would be a wonderphul prophesshun! We could all start a Psillly commune and tend the Civkebs together! HOpe you are able to bet some slleeeeeeep soon! Hope yer baby's foot is better soon too. You could double as a vet....on this kommune.

Gjannit is home and sooo tired. Katching up the homework housework doesn't all have to be done at once.....believe me.....it'll wait for you.

Em -n- Em....do hope you have a great time.

Kurly Lees.....My heart always smiles when I see you here. Dark clouds are lifting...ever so slowly....

Sonny Day!! :P Amazing what some parents do to their kids.

My mom had hip replacement surgery today. I'm so grateful that I have brothers and sisters still living close to home. Mom had plenty of watchers, care-givers, hands for my dad to hold, through it all. She was so very nervous about it. Sister Kathy keeps everyone posted and updated....I have a great family! Mom is doing well and fine and is now facing rehab. Hopefully it will all turn out to be worth it.

That's about it for now....not many functioning brain-cells at the moment. Hugs all 'round....

I have two friends who have had this done, one on both her hips. Both of them said within a few weeks it already hurt less than when they started, and after a few months they felt like they had their lives back.

G'Mornin, Jhyaghnutt! The only two early birds in Da Ville this am... . .. ..

Forgot what you posted yesterday, but I remember there was something I wanted to respond to with an "excellent! "tis wonderful!" . . . . ..What in hell was it? :huh: Regardless, glad that your trip to FLA was a good and timely thing. I am suspecting that you are exhausted - - lots of strong emotion over the last weeks, and a family trip to cap it off. .. .... .. ..it is great to have you back here!

Did Tareeeesar name her kitteh yet? Is she Sunny/Sonny?

Mornin' all. (Waving) Hi Em! Baby's name is Peaches (middle name NCream......just in case we need to be really serious with her). Hubby named her and so it goes. I like the name Peaches....it all fits her coloring (and Hubby is a foodie....who happens to LOOOOOVVVE peaches!) She has settled in and taken over the house. Now she is in full kitty-like rip and tear with intermittant napping (she has claimed our bed for naps....and fortunately seems to be sleeping through the night...or at least not biting and playing while it's dark). She has issues with raised hands and sudden foot movements....makes you wonder.....but she is a sweetheart.

Thanks everyone for well-wishes and for comforting words for my mom. Even tho' we have only heard good things about the outcome of hip-replacements..it seems like such a major deal! She did have knee replacements....but it was years ago and very painful for her....and with outcome less than hoped for. We tell her that those proceedures have come a loooong way since then.

Heat and humidity are settling into the area. YESSSSSSS!!! I may be a rare weirdo who likes this sort of thing....but I wait long and hard winters for just this sort of weather. And for those who don't deal with it well......that's why god gave us things like cool shade under green leafy trees....bodies of water (pools included).....ice cubes....air conditioning.....long hard winters.....autumn and spring.....evenngs on the deck with cool drinks and the songs of treefrogs and sparkling lightning bugs making the bushes glitter......did I tell you that I love summer? :P

Peaches in my lap, so I took a long time to get this typed....and just realized...this tiny baby has HUGE FEET! Wonder how big she'll be?

Wonderful day everyone!

Raechull, whatever happened to yer duck eggs???

Jess, did you name your chikvrbs? Yer not plannin on eatin' 'em, right?? They were for egg layin? in which case it's OK to name them . . .

:lol: This has reminded me of The Ripper - - I noticed about a year ago that his feet were suddenly massive, almost ridiculous, like gunboats. . . .....he is an average height for a boy his age, but his FEET.....dear gawd. . .......size nine er sumphin' .. . ....

if he's anything like a pup, he could be 6 foot 4.. . . ......

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      so do you have celiac or not? 🤔 why are your vision issues undiagnosed? 😢 what does your ophthalmologist say?  do you have a serious vit A deficiency? what do you take for it? how long have you had celiac disease and how long did  it take to get a diagnosis?   if you are legally blind there are adaptive devices that will help you. I have vision difficulties as well but did not qualify (at least not yet)   do you have a vit A deficiency? why are you undiagnosed? what does your ophthalmologist say? I have a retinal specialist and he tells me my eye condition can not be fixed- until/unless it gets to the point of where surgery is safer since the surgery can leave me actually blind... so you want to wait til it gets really bad 🤪     I hope you find what works for you.    PS   the medication I started at the same time as the gluten challenge is obvious from the condition it's trying to treat. you can google it 😉 it is not an for any auto immune condition.

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me
