Good Worm-free morning, Psills! (Have SO often wanted to greet friends with this salutation, but have never had a time that fit.. ..!) :huh::lol:

YIPPEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but.............then what is wrong with Charlie????

Nothing is wrong wif 'im, thank gawd. :wub: The heartworm test is given every two years to make certain the disease is not present, so that preventative meds can continue (apparently it can be dangerous for dogs to be on the preventative if they have heartworms already present). So, a sudden positive appeared, completely by surprise. As the day wore on after this, I was truly beginning to worry, as symptoms of the illness do not appear until things are advanced, and Charles does have a couple of symptoms -- he coughs and gags at times, something I was, correctly I know now, attributing to the scar tissue from his devocalization. He also has some laboured breathing after running, another possible heartworm symptom.

SOoOooooO, what a relief.

Yes, whot in hell are these li'l things? Inulin -- think this might be baaaaaaad stuff. Super-refined food additive, is it not? Used as a sweetener... . .. ..... ..like sucrose. . .... . .must do some reading.

YAY! Some reading about something other than heartworms!

I'm so happy your baby is ok! I can't believe people devocalize dogs. can you say obedience school?!?!?!

I believe inulin is a food based fiber additive. Used in yogurt?

Robotics is going well so far. Some guest in the hotel kept complaining about the kids. They were asleep for hours and he kept calling the desk to complain. Robot working well so far.

Glad to hear it's going well!

I joined Weight Watchers this week. I have a bet with a friend that I would lose 25 pounds by October 1st. It was made last October and so far I have lost nada . . . so I figured if I want to have any sort of chance, I better get started. Soooooooooo, Jess, what are these fruity fiber crunchies of which you speak? :rolleyes:

Good for you, I know a lot of people who have had great results from WW. I've always wanted to try it!

Oh . . . forgot to mention . . . no vomitous episodes from Skeeter for the last two weeks (although I am expecting one within the next few days)

Yeah!!! Don't wait for it, just go with it ;)

FALSE POSITIVE!!!!!

WooHoooooooo!!!!

that's fan*f&@#ing*tastic!!!!!

Tru Dat!!

EXACTLY. :angry: :angry:

Any dog can be trained to keep the barking to an absolute minimum. This horrendous butchering of the dog's larynyx causes a compromised airway and very often behavioral issues, things that we are having to deal with in Charles' "rehab". These dogs cannot communicate, so they are often nervous, pushy and deal day-to-day with the stress of having the inability to make ANY sound. He is coming along slowly... . . quite a project.

But at least he has Elsie in place, a very competent and willing interpreter. Charles will go to the window and make his pitiful, gasping attempt at a bark, and Elsie moves in immediately right beside him, conveying his doggie-message... . . . .... :rolleyes::lol:

Oh Thank Gawd!!! My reign is over!!! I thought it would never end!!! . . . Oh, and a congratulations to you Rayshell. Ummmm . . . tis a wonderful honoUr . . . no problems really . . . quite a joy . . . :rolleyes:

Oh . . . forgot to mention . . . no vomitous episodes from Skeeter for the last two weeks (although I am expecting one within the next few days).

So within 24 hours of this post . . . both the dog and Smackl have vomitted!!!! (Skeeter's still good, though). I'm not worried about Smackl. I think he got a bad corn dog at the school lunch. JoDog, however, had another seizure last night. This is the second one that I know of and it's been quite a while (9 months?). It wasn't as bad either. She and I took a really long walk last night and I'm kind of worried that I pushed her over some limit. I didn't take her to the vet because last time they just did a bunch of blood tests that came back fine and said that happens sometimes and they won't do anything about it (medication) unless it happens a lot (weekly). She does have her annual appt coming up so I'll bring it up then unless she has another before then.

ALL HAIL HER MAJESTY, QUEEN RAY SHELL!!!!

(who seems to have gone into hiding after her coronation)

Does the crown not fit, your majesty? Is the train too long? - we can call the royal dressmakers. Is the sceptre too heavy??? Are the robes a bit grubby and smelly from Skeeter's vomitousness and need a bit of drycleaning??

Do let us know how we can help your majesty adjust to her royal duties :lol:

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease. Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
