Rachelle feels all alone here, she's wondering where everyone is at!

Rachelle cannae breathe now. Her current patient and the patient's husband must smoke 10 pack of cig's a day-each -and Rachelle is so allergic that she is sneezing, coughing and sucking back the snot. She had to come out of the room for a few minutes to take a breath. Rachelle needs to go outside and breathe in some of that Portland rainy air she loves so much!

Patti says hi

Can it be third person day again??? Seems like only yesterday.....

Does Patti's heart good to see so many psyllie posts--missed ya'll yesterday. Where the French Toast was everybody?????

Ray-schell....that sounds gross!! <vomitphace>

Jan-it's back--wif mittens! Patti is very happy to see her and is a wee bit jealous of said mitties

Patti must go and throw in another load of laundry......

Hee! Remember the Seinfield episode with Jimmy, the guy who spoke in the third person? "Jimmy's got a compound fracture!!!"

[celiac-mommy]

Shoot, Rachelle missed yesterday, but it sounded like so much fun, that she's having a 3rd person day even if it's by herself!! And she's having a great time :lol:

Karen feels bad for R that she is hacking, wheezing & goobering. Karen hopes she is able to get out & breathe some good humid air to clear out her passages.

Karen wishes to thank Patti for reminding Karen that she needs to put in some laundry.

Puppy is going to take Karen out for a walk soon as it is sunny & 40.

Lisa is at school work and only has a second, but Lisa wanted to say that Rayshell is lucky she is not here with pubescent body odor mixed in with a truckload of Axe cologne :greenpukeyface;

Rachelle is a truly talented treadmill artist (pronounce ar teese) . Karen can barely stay on the treadmill forwards.

Neroli flunked treadmill in gym class (oh, wait, they didn't have treadmills when she was in gym class )

Nicola is pleased with the Psills

Ok, any of yooz know owt about hearts???

Terry had his angiogram today - no furred up arteries (Nicola is relieved)

BUT the doc said his heart is 'weakened' and he needs to find out why

Now he's got to have an MRI of his heart

WHAaaaT the French toast?!?!?!

Ah! Nik remembers it well. T'was good old fashioned 'manual' running then .... with a track.

Patti never used a treadmill until she was an adult. Her gym classes were decidedly old school....then again, so is she

Nik--I don't know what could be causing Tel's heart to be not as strong as they would like ....please let us know when he has the MRI. I did have some cardiac testing a few years ago, but nothing beyond the echo stress test.

Neroli knows very little about the functioning of hearts and is distressed that Terry's is "weakened". Neroli doesn't think French Toast is that good for hearts

Neroli is going to find out more about hearts in the next 24 hours or so when she wears a Holter monitor to see if it can catch her heart doing the loopity loops because no one else seems able to catch it except Neroli

Good luck wif it, Shroomie. Patti had this before the afore mentioned testing--nuttin to it except you can nae shower until it's removed.

Em is thinking about Tel's heart. . . ....... . . ...how long until the MRI, Nik? In Emily's province, the wait times are significantly down - - a couple of weeks for a non-emergency. Hope it is the same in the UK - - Em hopes it is SOON! Like, tomorrow. Who needs to be waiting?

Um.. . ...dunno if'n Emily can keep up this Third-Person-Talk until the end of the day.. . . ...it sounds mighty strange. . . .. .....unsettling, even. . .. .....like I (whoops, Emily) is talking about someone else.... . ... .She's getting lost in her own discourse. . . ..... . .. . . .....

On the rare occasion that DH and Em are signed up on two treadmills that are side-by-side at their gym, they start off together, same speed, holding hands, then speed up until they can comfortably skip for a couple of minutes. It is a GREAT heart-rate boosting interval... . . . ...... . . . but man, never thought of roller blades. . . . .. . ....wonder if the Y would allow them to try this?. . . . . ...... . ..

Did Patti's Holter monitor "catch" anything? Neroli is afraid that this is a waste of time and that the loopity loops will remain as elusive as ever.

Patti wore it for 24 hours, and absolutely nothing showed up. Nada.

Jess is highly amused at reading the way everyone writes, although not so amused at Tel's heart. Jess hopes it all get sorted soon.

Patti makes Beverly <SNORT>. Beverly watched this rerun of Seinfeld just last night and thinks that is ironic.

Lisa is at school work and only has a second, but Lisa wanted to say that Rayshell is lucky she is not here with pubescent body odor mixed in with a truckload of Axe cologne :greenpukeyface;

Beverly feels VERY bad for Leesa as she has been there far too many times before. Beverly wants Leesa to know that college freshman wear Axe too <stinkyvomitface>. In Beverly's day, all the rage was Ralph Lauren Polo for men (1985)and her entire dorm smelled like it. Beverly can't even think about the small of that stuff wiithout throwing up a little in her own mouth.

Beverly agrees with "WTFT?". Beverly's husband had heart MRI, angiosumphin, heart endoscopy etc etc etc after his stroke and they found nutting. Beverly's hubby must wear heart monitor next week too. Beverly wants them to find out what is wrong with Tel toot sweet! His heart is WEAKENED? Beverly will do research to find out what this means.

Neroli knows very little about the functioning of hearts and is distressed that Terry's is "weakened". Neroli doesn't think French Toast is that good for hearts

Neroli is going to find out more about hearts in the next 24 hours or so when she wears a Holter monitor to see if it can catch her heart doing the loopity loops because no one else seems able to catch it except Neroli

Beverly wants Neroli to know she will be thinking of her. :wub:

Speaking of loops, one of Beverly's students wrote a very funny memoir whose title had Loopy in it about falling in love with a drag queen. Beverly loved it but hopes that Neroli's heart loopity loops do not mean that Neroli will fall in love with a drag queen!

It tickles Patti when her posts are topical

[celiac-mommy]

Did you know that Rachelle is a cardiovascular technologist? She actually graduated with a degree in cardiovascular science Anywho, she thinks an MRI for Tel is a good idea. Rachelle wants to know what his "Ejection Fraction" is. This is a very important number. Rachelle thinks it is very good that his corn's look good, but must discover what is weakening his heart and how "weak" it is....

Rachelle also thinks Neroli needs to wear a King-of-Hearts monitor. This is a monitor that is worn for up to a month and can catch more sporadic symptoms. Rachelle thinks the 24 hour monitors are crap hit and miss.

Rachelle would rather stick her nose into a BO and AXE deodorant armpit than endure what I was just stuck with for 2 hours!! Speaking of AXE, did anyone see that "AXE your balls" commercial? Rachelle looked redonculous larfing out loud! :lol:

Um.. . . . . . must one refrain from showering whilst wearing this model, as well?. . . . . ...... . . .... . .. . ........

Gads... . . the smell of Polo and Axe would probably be quite tolerable. . .. . . . . . . .

Pateeh should nae be too disappointed or concerned, if symptoms are phreakwent and daily, Rachelle thinks the 24hr holter is phine

Jan-it's back--wif mittens! Patti is very happy to see her and is a wee bit jealous of said mitties

Jan-ette is still waiting for a couple of bucks from Geoss . . .

Janet can jump up and down on one foot, walk backwards, and crawl on her treadmill because Janet's treadmill is never turned on. Janet uses her treadmill to "hold" things.

Nicola . . . WHAT the FRENCH TOAST?? is right!!! Keep Janet, et al in the loop . . . hope everything goes OK!!

[Darn210]

Janet started that previous post a couple of hours ago and now sees that many posts have been added.

Janet had a loopity loop in her heart after a hanus phall during water skiing. She phell chest first . . . hard. Her loopity loop felt like the "heart" equivalent to loosing your stomach on a roller coaster. She (of course) didn't go to the doctor right away and by the time she got in, it wasn't doing it too often. EKG showed nothing cuz it didn't happen while she was hooked up. The doc gave it a name that Janet can't remember anymore but basically meant that the electronic wiring was a bit discombobulated by the fall. Not to worry, the heart has many "back-ups" and I was "feeling" the phiring signal from an alternative location or a "late" phiring from the correct location (or something like that it's been a while) and it would work itself out and return to normal . . . which it did. So, Janet mentions all this because Janet wants to know if Neroli has been water-skiing lately?
