Well.....here's the latest in the hospital saga:

I was asking my dad how he's been sleeping, as he's had some real trouble since he's been admitted having a good night's sleep.....and this, of course, is so important in his recovery. Rehabilitation is next to impossible with a patient who is only averaging an hour of sleep every night.

So, Dad told the doctor on rounds this morning that he really needed his help. "On nights that I get some sleep, I'm having a recurring dream where I'm lying here in this bed, and suddenly these three beautiful, naked women come striding into the room. They pull the curtain around the bed, and start tearing my hospital gown off me".

The doctor said something like, "So, what happens?"

And my dad told the doc that he keeps pushing the naked women away.

"Well", the doc finally said, "What would you like me to do?"

And my dad said, "BREAK MY ARMS!"

:lol:

See, my father would actually say this to some unsuspecting doctor who doesn't recognise him. He really would.

I just wish I could BE there, next time. .. . . . . . .

Ptaoughmghmn, may you have a day completely devoid of faux grepping.. . . . ...I hear ya on that one, and just HATE when that happens. . . . .. :rolleyes::P

A superb day in sports. . . . ....the Ottawa Senators have now won five in a row, and continue a thrilling charge for the playoffs (um.....as if, but one lives in hope). .. . . .

AND.....Michelle in a thrilling charge of her own, now in fifth with three dropped dogs. Yep, it is early to be travelling with only eleven, but if anyone can do it, it's HER!! :)

Dastardly David Dalton, who kept stealing third place from her last year, is now in 13th place. And my Jamaican hero Newton Marshall has slipped to 21st.

Man, he must be feeling the cold.. . . . . ...

*Some* of us don't know what "grepping" is :rolleyes: . Perhaps someone could explain? Just for the benefit of those in the dark....you see :D

Hmph! Barking dogs.....one of those irritating problems of communal life! Don't know if you should call animal control....dog warden....sherriff....the dogs owner (although the owner apparently was not concerned that his dog was having a problem). Hope you can get this resolved.

OMG. . . . something that I am just SO INTIMATELY familiar with. .. . . . :lol::rolleyes:

grep is a Open Original Shared Link text search utility originally written for Open Original Shared Link. The name is taken from the first letters in global / regular expression / print, a series of instructions for the Open Original Shared Link text editor. Open Original Shared Link The grep command searches files or Open Original Shared Link globally for lines matching a given Open Original Shared Link, and prints them to the program's Open Original Shared Link.

Now, just as I feel my eyes completely glazing over and my mind priming for explosion, we have this:

The term "grep" can be used as a verb, meaning to search

      Canker sores

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Canker sores can definitely be frustrating, especially when you're already managing a strict gluten-free lifestyle and have been diagnosed with celiac disease for so long. While these painful mouth ulcers aren’t exclusive to celiac disease, they can be linked to nutritional deficiencies—particularly of iron, folate, or vitamin B12 (as @trents mentioned )—which are common in people with celiac, even those who are very careful with their diet. Ongoing fatigue and aches might also suggest that your body isn’t fully absorbing nutrients or that there’s some underlying inflammation. It could be helpful to get bloodwork done to check for these deficiencies, and possibly even a full nutritional panel. Sometimes, new sensitivities or hidden sources of gluten or additives like sodium lauryl sulfate (common in toothpaste) can trigger symptoms like canker sores too. Since your reactions are so severe and you're highly vigilant, it might also be worth considering whether any other autoimmune conditions could be involved, as they can develop over time and overlap with celiac. Consulting with your doctor or a celiac-informed dietitian may help pinpoint the cause and bring relief.

      Ocd making gluten fears unmanageable. Need advice

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Dora77, You shouldn't worry about getting glutened through your skin.  You would have to touch a gluten infested doorknob and then put your hand in your mouth.   I'd be more concerned with your mom's heating up gluten bread in the oven and boiling gluten noodles.  These methods cause particles of gluten to become airborne which would then enter your nose and be swallowed, going into your digestive tract.  I have to avoid the bakery aisle at the grocery store for this reason.  An M95 mask helps. If you get nutritional deficiencies corrected, your immune system will calm down and be less reactive to gluten expose.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.  Thiamine and Niacin help make digestive enzymes which would help digest any accidental gluten exposure.  Thiamine helps Mast cells not to release histamine, an inflammatory agent released as part of the reaction to gluten, and also a neurotransmitter that causes alertness and anxiety, and the flight or fight response.  Pyridoxine will help improve the OCD.  Remember your brain is part of the body.  Vitamin deficiencies affect your brain and mental health as well as the rest of your body.

      I do not have evidence other than anecdotal but I am certain when I have gotten these it's the result of eating gluten (back when I did).  I don't get them now that I don't eat gluten.

      What really bothers me is if worrying about getting cc‘d from touching the same door knob as others touched is valid. Seems like an extremely unlikely way to get glutened but i read people saying that.    If thats true then theres realistically zero chance i dont get cc‘d in a non gluten-free household unless i Cook Everything myself and wash my hands multiple times in between and store all of my stuff separately

      Welcome to the forum, @Mrs. Cedrone! Among the various causes for canker sores, are "Nutritional problems like too little vitamin B12, zinc, folic acid, or iron" https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/canker-sores Could you be deficient on something?
