I read this & then said out loud " Ain't that the truth!". Then I looked at the next post & that's exactly what Patti said!

Thanks for the good thoughts.

The rehab docs name is Dr Burger. He kept telling her his name and she acted like she didn't hear. When he left she said , " He didn't look like a hamburger!". She will now call him the Hamburger Docotor.

Oh, Kherrighnne....:(....I'm really sorry to hear about your mom. Been there -- it's a rough go, being the advocate for a newly vulnerable, needy parent. But what great news, their prediction that she should respond well to rehab.... .. ...we were told the same thing with my mom after her stroke, and lo and behold, she made significant recovery after three months of intensive work. I'm really hopeful for you! :):)

This made me laugh! It reminds me of something my dear friend Hazel would have said. :D

She isn't but she won't get tested. If she is, it isn't her worst issue.

Hope they let us decorate her room for Xmas! trying to decide if we should go tasteful or gaudy! I don't think she will like gaudy so I better decorate before J gets home from college! He & M believe the more sparkle & shiny, the better.

My dad was in the hospital one holiday season and I didn't even ask, just marched in with lights n' stuff and put them up. I did use synthetic greenery in case of allergies, but that was about my only concession.

Well, I thought we might be welcoming a new monarch today, but the karma worked out differently. Karen will continue as Queen of the Psillies for another hundred pages.

This is un- Psilly but I guess this is where to put it.

My mom has some heart issues. A Fib occasionally and an aortic heart valve that functions at about 30%. We have been managing this and we're planning to enroll in a study of a percutaneous replacement valve.

Tuesday night, she had a stroke. At first, it didn't look too bad. Then Wed, she had some odd heart emzymes and a bleed was showing up in her brain. As of today it seems she isn't as bad as it looked yesterday. It appears her left arm, leg and side of her face are affected. She has some movement. The Rehab doc saw her this evening. He thinks she can regain most of her function with rehab.

Anyway, that's what's been going on here.

Dear Kareng,

We'll be keeping her and your whole family in our prayers. For some reasons the holidays uually bring some sort of catastrophe. I guess it goes with the territory. We're al so busy trying to get everything ready.

As for where to post this, I look at this thread as a place to laugh and to hang out with my psilly family even though what we need to share isn't always psilly. I'm recuperating from surgery but it wasn't what they thought so more tests and possibly more surgery. I did throw a pity party yesterday but today I plan on laughing. Last night Clark showed me an ad for a rubber scrotum ($160) so you can learn to self check. The responses were funnier than the product and we both felt better after we laughed so hard that we cried.

Please keep us posted on your mom and Rachelle keep being the brave warrior that you are.

We all love you!!! wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

OK, Clark just emailed me the link to the product and one review. I trust Peoter or any other moderator t decide if it's appropriate to post. All I know is I needed a good laugh and this did it.

Love, Loey & Clark

This was sent to Clark from his best Bro and below is a customer review and the link to the product. I'll understand if it's too inappropriate to post.

Not only a wonderful teaching model, but while trying to find the tumors, I discovered, it acts as a makeshift stress ball! When I am in line at the grocery store I just whip out this handy little bugger and squeeze away....the line around me just dissapears...what an effective little doo dad!

Finally, a rubber scrotum that I can use for exam training purposes. My room mate was going "nuts" (pardon the pun) because I kept trying to use his. I wish he wasn't such a light sleeper. Oh well.

I certainly can't find a better way to spend a hundred and sixty five bucks than on a rubber scrotum. Hell, at that price they're practically giving them away! You'd have to be NUTS not to buy one! Now I can take a break from squeezing my own scrotum constantly and give the little bugger a breather. Take the plunge folks, coz you're sure to have a BALL with

YAY!!! THE NEW QUEEN IS PASSING OUT RUBBER SCROTA!!

Kitties is back from their trip to the vet (2nd round of shots) and all went well. No diarrhea all over the carrier today. Babies are relaxing after the traumatic morning, and Bo is pacing, perhaps trying to figure out how to spin the fact that he spent his time in the exam room cowering behind the carrier whilst the babies scooted around and checked things out. Molly even jumped up on the exam table to comfort Bo after her shot was done. :wub: :wub:

Bo is a whopping 17 pounds, while Molly is just under 4 1/2.

YAY!!!!!! I FINALLY had something psilly to contribute. When I told Clark I was posting it online but didn't know if it was allowed he told me it's on Amazon. So, fellow psillies you don't have to even leave the comfort of your home to buy this wonderful toy. Hmmm... I wonder if they sell female parts?

When Clark showed it to me we laughed so hard I was sure I split a stitch. Off to Xmas shop today then back to testing this week. Endoscopy on Tuesday. At least it doesn't entail cutting.

I miss you all.

Love, Loey

P.S. Karenggh - how's your mom doing?

I'm hoping that the mall we go to has a Spencer Gifts. They have a whole stock of outrageous gifts. I also have time to order him the scrotum.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      Hi Theresa,  A few of my friends have your same story. You may be right about barley, etc.  18 years ago at a football game while clapping, suddenly my 4th finger was in agony.  It looked like a vein had burst. It was blue for a couple hours, then disappeared.  Finally realized it happened every time when drinking beer.  It's occurred several times over the years when opening a jar, lifting something that was a bit heavy, holding on to tight to something.  Immediate icing stops the pain and discoloration.  Now avoiding wheat in the US, it rarely happens.  Thanks for the reminder.  Will have Entero Labs run another test. Unfortunately they've relocated to Switzerland/Greece.

      Blood results

      By Russ H · Posted

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.
