"Take a shorter walk & see if things loosen up. Then you can go farther."

Agreed! Amazing what can happen to one's tired, stiff body once one is out there pounding along... . ... :)

Don't see any drunken post-wedding posts from Ray-shell! :(

YES, and I was hoping.. . . ..must keep checking back here....she doesn't have to be quite as careful on this thread as she does on Da Book, where all her fam and friends likely are and where she has just said that it was a beautiful wedding.. . .. .

I.Was.The.Designated.Driver... :blink:

I drank 2 mimosas in the morning and it was just enough to take the edge off, but I think having to also wrangle my 2 kids kept me occupied enough that I had NO downtime until it was literally time to walk down the aisle. It honestly was a lovely day. Tracy was radiant and the happiest I've ever seen her. Everything worked out perfectly. I had resigned myself to the fact that I was NOT the one marrying him and it's her life and all I can do is wish them well and move on!

Her best friend Joey is the BEST! I've known her since I was 9ish. We spent the 2 days making fun of everything, being totally obnoxious and had a great time! I think we were ticking Tracy off, but we basically told her to get over it, we weren't doing any harm and we were trying to enjoy ourselves!! :lol:

Sunday, I came out of my bedroom 3x. Once to get coffee and the paper, and 2x to eat. That's it!! It was GREAT!!!!

I'm glad for you that it all went well.

I'm a bit disappointed.... Was hoping for stories of drunken Father of the bride's girlfriend doing a strip tease or a groomsman falling on the cake.

Ohhhhh, that.... Here's 2 stories

1.

Preface: Dan and Kynde grew up together and dated all thru high school and college. Tracy and Kynde were housemates all through college. Dan and Kynde had a bad breakup. Tracy and Dan started dating a few years later, Kynde didn't take it well. They've all since made up, Kynde is happily married with an adorable little boy. Kynde was at the wedding....

-This guy gets up to make a toast, starts off with: "I first met Dan when he had just come out of this horrible relationship with this awful woman who made his life miserable..." Kynde was sitting right behind him... After the toast, she discretely got up and left the tent. After the toasts, Tracy and Dan went off to find her. Everything ended OK

2.

The crazy stepmom got totally plastered-big surprise... Cornered me, told Max to go away so she could talk to me, blabbed on and on about how much she loves me and how much I hate her. Then she got a glimpse of my mom and rushed off to attack her and tell her how much she loves her and asked if she'd please, please work on me because she knows I hate her :lol: THEN, my dad comes over to get her wine glass bc they were trying to clean up and she didn't want to relinquish the glass but then suddenly she gave up the glass and then went over to the corner of the tent, grabbed a bottle of wine (THAT SHE STOLE FROM THE BAR!!!), and told my dad that the bartender gave it to her!! :lol::lol::lol: Crazy biotch!!

BUT- We're going to the beach again with them all in a few weeks, so I should have some good drunken stuff then!!

I don't know why you put yourself thru that! :blink:

Do you know anything about aortic valve replacements? My 83 yr old mom thinks she is getting one. I'm going to the doctor with her on Thur.

Me mum has had one.

Was it an open chest procedure? They say my mom can't have an open heart type thing. They are talking about some type of one thru the blood vessels? Just getting this from my mom so far, so don't really know what its about.

Jestgar Rising Star

hmmm. My mom had multiple bypasses at the same time, so open chest filled with ice.

I don't know about going through a vessel. Open Original Shared Link seems OK. Check out the percutaneous section at the bottom.

You'll hear about bio vs mechanical. Get the info on the risk/benefits of each.

Also try to find out why they would replace at 83. Is it completely failing? With medical management could she function for 10 more years?

My mom suddenly has decided to get things, that she should have fixed 15-20 years ago, fixed. About a year ago, she found a doc to replace 1 hip against her GP, heart and old orthopod docs advice.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to write them down & bring them up at the appointment.

I saw an AVR this morning :) They are done with a complete sternotomy-split down the middle. They can do a mitral replacement by robot which only leaves a small scar on the left side of the body. We see patients who are well into their 80's on a regular basis. As long as they're in decent shape, not a serious risk of dying on the table. There are a few centers who do the percutaneous AVR, but it's not a standard procedure yet... Which hospital would she be going to?

I think St Lukes in KC, MO. But not sure. She had the hip replacement and was a mess - crazy blood sugars, fluid retention, heart irregularities. She barely walks because, even tho she got the hip replaced she doesn't exercise it and her knee is a mess. I'll let you know what they say on Thur.

I found this article and read some of the article in the New England Journal of Medicine. Looks like St. Lukes is one of the participating centers for this procedure...

My niece is a journalism major. She has to write an article about the HPV vaccine. She needs a quote from someone who has vaccinated a boy. It's hard to find a boy because insurance won't pay for it. Anyway, If any of you know someone who would talk to her pm me. I'm going to ask around the neighborhood. Not trying to start a debate. :)

Jestgar Rising Star

Good luck finding that.

Someone here in the lab mentioned an article that shows an association with HPV and throat and neck cancers, so it may become an insurable vaccine eventually.

Max isn't old enough yet, but I'd probably do it.

I bought a Kindle!

One of the new $80 ones.

Now I just have to figure out what to do with it. :ph34r: :ph34r:

I bought an Ipad and so far all I have figured out to do with it is play Majjong :o I am supposed to be able to operate all AV equipment in the house with it - I guess they have to do something to it first :blink:

Jess, take a look at the "Kindle Daily Deal" on Amazon. Everyday, they discount one of the ebooks so that you can get it for a pretty cheap price. You can sign up to get a daily email or just check it daily.

Love my kindle . . . but I still get books at the library and buy cheap paperbacks at yard sales.

Oh . . . and our library just added the ability to check out kindle ebooks but there aren't too many titles yet.

Jestgar Rising Star

Nice, I found a fun book for free. :)

Have spent the day cooking (not studying :ph34r: ) and just stuffed my self with shrimp quinoa salad. In just a bit here I'll take the bean soup out of the crockpot and put in chili.

Have roasted root veggies, stuffed taters, barbecued pork (crocked overnight and baked for bit wif BBQ sauce), a bowl of pork still in the frig, lentils and rice in the freezer, extra rice in the frig, and I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Oh, a couple more sweet potatoes cooked in the frig.

Well..that exhausted me!

I went to PF Changs!

Actually, it was kind of hot to cook today! 86 and humidity is up. Lots of clouds but no rain.

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
