Dare to be Royal!!

Did you want to wear a tiara, Tom? I can't help thinking that Emily is waiting anonymously in the background to take us to page 300.

Just to warn you, I will not be posting first on 300 so don't ask me any questions . . . I will plead the 5th.

At first I'm like "how'd I miss this?", then I see it was the dreaded simultaneous posting! :o

Tom, did I read (a long ways back) that you are an engineer?

Me 'n' Choo-Choo Charlie!!

<shukka-shukka . . .. shukka-shukka . . .. >

I guess I can't really even say what I am NOW, but I WAS a Silicon Valley Elec Engr for ~ a dozen yrs. Hmmm one job offer is to be tha again so maybe I am.

I just want to make sure that I am not the Queen of page 300. I don't want to wear any stinkin' tiara. And being in charge of two kids is enough for me. I don't want to have to rule the likes of this lot! :angry::huh::lol::lol:

We can wash the tiara!!!

<is that a dig at our current [OOPS! Former!] queen's hygiene?>

See, I figger we got a King already, so I'm not even eligible for ascension to a TOP spot. It's gonna be you Janet.

Don't even try to 'superweasel' your way out of it.

All hail the New QUEEN AMANDA!!!

(sheesh we were 3 or 4 posts away when I started my last reply. I wondered if someone was broadbanding their way into making me be on p300.)

And yes Janet, I was trying to ask a question or otherwise get a response LOL

It didn't start out that way but . . . OK, sure!

Definitely unpeeled (seedless and red).

Why thank you :)

I think Richard would also make a good jester. Maybe he could be the court artist/photographer.

I will need a king too

No no annnnnnnnnnnd .. . . .no.

I wonder in our motley crew is most likely to be able to juggle . .. .. ..hmmmmm that's a toughie.

I CAN, however, wiggle my ears, if it pleases the Queen to have lobes-in-motion on Her Majesty's Royal Saxophonist.

<uh oh! no promises . . .never tried to do both at the same time. maybe the wigglin' is only 'tween licks. (Take that any way u like :P )

Just don't forget how sensitive they can be. Nor the ruckus he'll create if he feels slighted.

So PLEASE!! I implore you . .. . .when the dancing begins do NOT think about the fact you know the steps so much better than he. Whether a waltz or a tango, or some nondescript unworthy-of-a-name slow shuffle . .. . LET THE YETI LEAD!!!!!! :P

Sarah said she was knee-deep in sheets. (At the time, I thought she said sh!t and was cleaning up doggy-doo but now I know different).

Haha! No that was last week, and it was Ezra poo! <_<

I want to be in the court too! I can wiggle one ear- the right one. I can't do the left one though.

Happy Birthday Emily!!!

We went to an anniversary/Halloween party at my best friend's house tonight, and got home laaaate. I ran around in high-heeled boots all night and my feet are now saying, "Uh. And what were you thinking? You're going to pay now, for at least 24 hours."

Got home at about 1 am, and first carried in sleeping Ezra (up the steps) and put him to bed. Went back, got sleeping Lucas, carried him in, put him to bed. Went back, got leftover food, carried that in. Went back, told my sleeping husband I was NOT carrying his butt in. Came in, took the dog out. Put away said leftovers.

Now I happily have on jammies and soft socks, and I'm watching John Carpenter's The Fog. :D

I musta missed replying to this while off looking for those old pointy bell-enhanced slippers!

Tell me more!!

Work for anyone I may have heard of?

I spent a summer at Sperry right when it was acquired by Honeywell, working on TCAS, the Traffic Collision Avoidance System for comm'l airliners. (I kinda did squat, actually :lol: )

Uh-oh I should be asleep already. <8 hrs until my Pod-loaders arrive! <which was the sleepy emo?>

      Collecting all possibly related lab work?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I've got some lab work results going back to 2010, various MRIs and CT scans and ultrasounds. I discovered two things that MIGHT be of interest to the GI doc tell me what you think? one is the results to an abdominal CT scan with contrast in 2013 that includes this:  "there is some thickening seen in the second and third portions of the duodenum"    Since this CT scan was for left lower quad pain, it was not followed up on   Then in May of 2024 I saw a foot specialist for problems with my feet. Some of that pain is due to a very obvious deformity of both of my legs- the right worse than the left. The dr suggested that my symptoms sounded like an auto immune condition (???) and I thought he was nuts but he ordered some lab work- it came back negative except for a weak positive on one test HLA-B27 and there was a follow up test recommended but that was never ordered and this dr gave me a useless Rx for custom insoles which he refused to address - and my calls to his office were never returned.   At that time I was having all over joint pains, plus some numbness in my feet (also stiffness) and some burning pain in my toes- esp the big toe on the right foot (the more deformed side of my body)   The last time I was eating any appreciable amount of gluten containing foods was in the period of Nov 2024 to around sometime in the summer of 2024. I regularly ate a barley soup that I loved and had subs and pizza and toast etc. I was no longer eating wheat pasta, had already switched to brown rice pasta but otherwise I had not yet made a clear connection between what I was calling 'refined grain products' and any symptoms that I had. And the symptoms were vague and could be attributed to other things.   I was referred to a neurologist in late 2023 for symptoms  of confusion/disorientation, that included loss of balance that I attributed, in part, to the inability to feel where my feet were. Some symptoms such as high spikes in blood sugar were later determined to be due to covid or long covid (also had loss of sense of smell and taste)    I had periods of dizziness that did NOT include any spinning sensations, it was more of a feeling of lightheadedness as if my mind would go blank- very strange, never really got any answers about that but that eventually went away so not worried about that   WHAT OTHER THINGS from my past records might be good for the GI dr to know? I had my very first Vit D test done in 2023 and it was low at 23, supplements have gotten that up in the range of adequate but values varied up and down... most recent test was Nov 2025 and it was 45ish I think. That's on a min of 5000Ius per day (there are some fortified foods I eat sometimes that have added vit D)   I thought my serum calcium ran on the low side but it turns out that the reference ranges have changed for the labs that I use- one changed their RR back around er, 2014 I think? so I have no clue how to compare the results before and after those changes   calcium has never been below normal and most of my blood work looks "normal" except during illness or other issues like if I'm in afib- blood work looks insane LOL    I don't know what to make of all this but it sure will be nice to get some answers!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      just a few days off of that drug and my digestive system is finally getting back to normal stopping the gluten challenge was not enough to get back to normal, I was still horribly constipated with what seemed like a paralyzed digestive track- nothing was moving! but now, with a few mag citrate capsules that I had to order online and stopping the chlorthalidone, things are getting back to my usual "working well" digestion   so it's clear that the symptoms I had during the gluten challenge were compounded by the new med that was started the same day (I feel like the Dr really should have known better than to do those two things at the same time, add a new drug and start a new diet protocol... but I'm just the patient, what do I  know, right?)   I am going to do another 24 hr urine in a few weeks to see if lowering the dose of vit D gets my urine calcium down to a more tolerable level. that's the plan.  hope it works.

      I'm not delaying my recovery- I was well on my way to recovering, IF I do have celiac disease by listening to my body and not eating the foods that made me feel ill. the drug I just stopped taking was making me incredibly ill and it's unfortunate and more than  a little frustrating that the dr
