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.

Love,

Loey

OK, this was under health but there are some humorous items (depending on your (warped) point of view.

Love,

Loey

P.S. anyone have a favorite? I just found the Spencer's Web Site. I'll paste it below the Amazon sex toys.

Much to catch up on!....not enough hourS in the day!! blink.gif

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.

K, I'm really sorry to hear this.

My Mum has also had a stroke (well 2 actually - but she needed to even the score out as she's also had 2 heart attacks rolleyes.gif)

She has recovered far better than we thought possible (although with my Mum it didn't affect movement or speech - her sight and feeling in the left side was affected)

The brain is a pretty magnificent thing the way it compensates.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for your Mum x

Oh no! We need new leadership! Shall I abdicate?

I know this is a bit late and all, but I have a small wee confession to make. I did not know that Kherrignne was our monarch (with apologies to your majesty). I believe the phlipover happened whilst I was mid-Pacific and I must have missed it, and I kept thinking, gosh, Ghianitt has been kkkkkkkween for such a long time......

:lol:

So now I will be saying, gosh, Karen has been kween for such a long time.... :rolleyes:

I don't like being responsible for stuff.

Me neither. But it seems like whenever something bad happens, they say shroomie is responsible :rolleyes:

:blink:

:lol:

And now hotmail is saying I am responsible. :blink: Having allowed my account to be hacked (it was not my computer - paid $70 to find that out :angry: ) and sending emails to everyone and changing my password to something that even I can't remember hardly, I trry to log on this morning and suddenly hotmail tells me that my account has been blocked because it was hacked. (Heck, that was three days ago!!!) And then they ask me all this awful stuff to try to recover it like the subjects of recent emails which I couldn't remember except the "virus akert" one with the typo - maybe that will help me, and then they asked me my special question which I signed up with 8 years ago and it is such a generic question that it could change every year and I couldnl't answer it before when I was trying to change my password.....

So anyways, guys, I may or not have email on hotmail - they will let me know in 24 hours. I will send a PM to someone with my new email and would appreciate your sharing it because all your addresses are on my hotmail address book :rolleyes:

:angry: :angry: :angry:

Mom update:

Her leg does not seem to be effected. Its her left arm, hand and side of her face. She actually keeps moving the left arm & hand around, doing her exercises!

M & I went & decorated her room, tastefully. At first she said "Why?" head down, depressed tone. But once we stated putting them up she was enjoying us making M reach up high. A cute male nurse came by & said "Great! Just no falling! I will be in soooo much trouble!" (smiling) When we got done, the sparkly snowflakes started falling down. The tape just pulls the glitter off & they fall. We left a few up so my mom could see when the snow falls. She did like it. It adds some color. The staff will like it, too.

She noticed a lady next door has a Christmas blanket on her bed. :o

OHHHH, my aching head!!!!

Spent the entire day trying to recover my hotmail account. :blink: :blink: :unsure:

Just whenI had totally given up I decided to try to log on and see what was happening, and I got on with a password from gmail :o:lol:

:blink: :blink: :blink:

Now I have to go and change my gmail password so that if someone hacks my hotmail agaom they can't hack my gmail too. And then I spent the rest of the day copying all the documents I had stored on hotmail (yes, I know, but it was convenient because I sent emails to create a journal... well, I won't both 'splaining) and then copying my address book, one address at a time, into a wordpad document, to import into gmail and to print out so that I have them all someplace else!!!!.:ph34r: So there went another day of not doing Christmas cards which were supposed to be done on Saturday, but there was a spontaneous neighborhood Christmas party, and then were supposed to be done on Sunday, but my sister-in-denial suddenly became a partial believer and asked for some reading links, and since most of those are on my US computer I spent half the day trying to recreate them for her. and here it is almost 5:00 p.m. on the Monday before Christmas and I have done no Christmas cards !!!!

:rolleyes:

:unsure:

Well, a couple of glasses of wine have put things in a new light. There's always tomorrow - it's still not Christmas yet, and now I have my email addresses again I can email the psillies instead of mailing them, and email Australia, and if I get everything in the mail by Wednesday for NZ they still M I G H T arrive by Saturday :lol: (Our outgoing mail closes at noon in our rural 'burb - goes across on the ferry and goodness knows what happens to it after that :huh: )

Good luck and be careful with what info you give out. Sometimes the people that work for these companies can be hackers.

I hope your mom improves each day. I'm sure the decorations cheered her up. I know putting up our tree and our holiday shopping cheered me up (although I can't walk very far or for too long - I felt like an old geezer - there were all these old ladies zipping by me.). We got Tony a Scarface Tie, a bunch of books (one titled Go the F*** to Sleep). The mall was very busy. I also went to Michael's and spent WAY too much money but I'm making presents.

Tomorrow I have an endoscopy so I might be offline a day or two. For some reason whenever I have anesthesia it takes me longer to snap out of it. Anyone else have this happen? I just pray that 2012 brings all of us good health and happiness and finds us surrounded by those we love most. I wish we could all teleport and get together because I love you all like family (yes, I'm getting sentimental).

Love,

Loey

P.S. Karenggg, are you going to get your mom a christmas blanket?

Sorry for being so absent lately. I miss you all. It's about that time to pack up work and head for home... This is when the panic attacks start and the yoga breathing sets in... :(

Love you all!! :wub::wub::wub:

Just in case I'm offline before the holiday weekend I want to wish my very special and very psilly family a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa and any other holiday you celebrate. I also wish you all a healthy and happy New Year. May 2012 bring us all the health, happiness and the good fortune we all deserve. I feel so blessed to have all of you in my life. Celiac might be the least of my medical problems right now but I wouldn't trade a minute on this forum (I actually haven't looked for one for leukemia or lupus because I get all of the support I need here).

All My Love, wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

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!!!
