Good morning, Sillies!

Lisa! This sounds like an amazing rendezvous! Thank you so much for this generous invitation. October, eh?.......have to check this out.........

Out of Body Experience?....Wow. I could use me one 'o those...... :rolleyes:

I think I might be malnourished, part of the problem. :unsure:

I think you may be, as well, Susie.... . .. .Lack of nutrition can do unbelievably negative things to our thoughts and mood. Eat, girl, eat! I know..... much more easily said than done, when there is a big ball of grief sitting in there - - feels like there just isn't any room..... .

I know you will get back to proper eating, as you heal! :)

Lisa,

Sounds great! I don't know if we'll be able to make it--planning on visiting family this fall, having a little work done on the house in late September/early October--so probably not. Thanks for the invite, though....it sounds like a lot of fun.

If anything changes, I'll let you know. Even if the houses are full, we could stay at the hotel, should things work out :)

Good Saturday morning, Sillies!!! :D

Ahhhh--got me some sleep last night :rolleyes: Hope we hear somephin from Gian-knit today or tomorrow.

Morning

Well Em and Patti are up.

I'm just getting moving.

Hope Janet checks in soon.

Are you still 'hanging alone' this weekend?

It's seems so chilly yet muggy here in Media.

Hugs all

Perhaps by October our staffing issues will have sorted out. We have two people in training, but at the moment at least one of us must be in the store at all times. We are training two people at the moment, so there is hope.

WOW Peter! I am so excited that there is hope.

Lisa - strong? :( I don't know about that.

when you realize that.......your dream is gone..........the person you THOUGHT you had is not only instantly yanked from your life under inconceivable circumstances but - turns into someone else (that's all I"ll say here)....the one from whom you were inseparable - gone......the love, fun, "security," perceived life together.........all gone.......... it's still gonna take me quite a bit of time to get over this one.

That's what strength is, cutie-pie. Being fully aware of how bad your life sucks at the moment, and still being willing to deal with it. Not all at once, of course, that's just not possible, but one by one you pull out the horrible strands, examine them, understand them and realize that these new, ugly flaws woven into your life are actually what make you strong and interesting. The superficial beauty of innocence doesn't last. It's those who have chosen to continuously remake their lives that have true beauty of soul.

I understand that Soozle needs a job. I'm sure she could learn Canadian without too much trouble, and she'd be that much closer to Em's bro...

Hey Sillies!! All is well. Surgery went smoothly and ended up a pretty quick process once I got past "admissions". Was home by lunch time. Had four people trying to wait on me hand and knee foot. Very little pain . . . mostly just dealing with swelling. I passed on the vicoden and asked for tylenol 3 instead (cause I know I don't have a problem with it) and am very happy with my decision. The tylenol 3 cost me about $6 . . . have know idea what the vicoden would have cost . . .I've got a 25/35/45 dollar insurance copay on the expensive drugs and I'm betting it's an expensive drug.

Can't stay on, I'm suppose to be lying down (for the swelling). Haven't got meself rigged up with the laptop yet.

Congrats on an awesome victory, Sarah!!

Congrats on your Welbutrin epiphany, Susie!!

I'm sleeping on the main floor of the house so I don't have to go up/down the stairs. Last night my son said if I needed anything, just to come and get him, no matter what time, he wouldn't mind. I told him I would just yell real loud. :lol::lol:

Actually it's not too bad, thank goodness. :lol:

Thanks for the congrats! Take your medicine, and totally take advantage of the down-time!!! In fact, get a little bell to call for room service. That would be so cool. :lol:

I just think that amazing people sometimes forget that they are amazing, and need reminding. If you read my other posts you'll discover that I think that 90% of the population can just sniffle themselves into a gluten filled pool of misery for all I care - but some people (highly over-represented on this thread) are far too important to me, and for them, and only them, I will willingly offer a small piece of my soul for them rest on while they are repairing their own.

OK. Soft squishy Jess gone.

Raving hand-waving hair-pulling screaming Jess here.

AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH

Those ignorant annoying self righteous 'you shouldn't do this because I think it's wrong' anti-medicine anti-pharmaceutical blathering idiots who dose themselves with hundreds of dollars worth of untested unproven ground up plants because some minimally educated, yet also anti-pharmaceutical, leech has convinced them that they should should not be allowed to post anything health related.

fine.

thanks for listening.

going over to Sarah's house now to pout with her in the corner, since she just went through this.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After...

Meats that are processed, like sausages, sandwich meats, bacons, chicken nuggets, etc., are eliminated as well. Veggies should be fresh, or frozen without other ingredients like sauces or seasonings.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After having my last baby this year, my body has finally started to find its new rhythm and balance...but things started to feel out of sorts. A lot of symptoms were convoluted with postpartum symptoms, and, to top it all off, my cycle came back about 4m postpartum. I was having reoccurring migraines, nausea, joint pain, numbness in my right arm, hand and fingers, tummy problems, hives. I finally went to my PCP in August just for a wellness check and I brought up my ailments. I'm so thankful for a doctor that listens and is thorough. He ended up running a food allergy panel, an environmental respiratory panel, and a celiac panel. I found out I was allergic to wheat, allergic to about every plant and dust mites, and I did have celiac. I had an endoscopy done on October 3 and my results confirmed celiac in the early stages! I am truly blessed to have an answer to my issues. When I eat gluten, my brain feels like it's on fire and like someone is squeezing it. I can't think straight and I zone out easily. My eyes can't focus. I get a super bad migraine and nausea. I get so tired and irritable and anxious. My body hurts sometimes and my gut gets bloated, gassy, constipated, and ends with bowel movements. All this time I thought I was just having mom brain or feeling the effects of postpartum, sleep deprivation, and the like (which I probably was having and the celiac disease just ramped it up!) I have yet to see a dietician but I've already been eating and shopping gluten-free. My husband and I have been working on turning our kitchen 100% gluten-free (we didn't think this would be so expensive but he assured me that my health is worth all the money in the world). There are still a few things to replace and clean. I'm already getting tired of reading labels. I even replaced some of my personal hygiene care for myself and the kids because they were either made with oats or not labeled gluten-free. I have already started feeling better but have made some mistakes along the way or have gotten contamination thrown into the mix. It's been hard! Today I joked that I got diagnosed at the worst time of the year with all the holidays coming up. I will just need to bring my own food to have and to share. It will be okay but different after years of eating "normally". Today I ordered in person at Chipotle and was trying not to feel self-conscious as the line got long because they were following food-allergy protocols. It's all worth it to be the healthiest version of myself for me and my family. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed and a little overloaded!  I am thankful for this community and I look forward to learning more from you all. I need the help, that's for sure!

      Thank you for responding and for prayers.  So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine.  You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.  I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of.  Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including ridges on fingernails, eczema, hair falling out in patches, dry eyes, upset stomach constantly and other weird symptoms that I don't really remember.  Gastro did tests and endoscopy and verified celiac disease. Re heart: I was born with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and an irregular heartbeat, yet heart was extremely strong.  It was difficult to pick up the irregular heartbeat on the EKG per cardiologist.  I had Covid at 77, recovered in 10 days and 2 weeks later developed long Covid. What the doctors and nurses called the "kickoff to long Covid, was A-fib.  I didn't know what was going on with my heart and had ignored early symptoms as some kind of passing aftereffect stemming from Covid.  I was right about where it came from, but wrong on it being "passing".  I have A-fib as my permanent reminder of Covid and take Flecainide every morning and night and will for the rest of my life to stabilize my heartbeat.
