Hope all continues to improve Karen. As Katherine Hepburn said "growing old is not for sissys".

Ain't that the truth!

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!

Now we know where you get your sense of humoUr Bless her heart!

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

Best Wishes for your Mom, Karen.

Karen, my thoughts are with you this evening.

Hugs to you and Mum, KK. Nice to hear that she gets plenty of hamburger in her day.

Is she celiac? .. . . .....Hope he's gluten-free... . ...

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!!!

My Spine & Pain Management doctor's name IS Hamburger. Wonder if they come on gluten-free rolls

P.S. I will probably go the email Xmas crd this year. Just can't pull it together. Please know that I keep each and every one of you and your families in my heart and pray theat 2012 will be an excellent year for us all!

Love,

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

RUBBER SCROTUM?

:lol:

I'd love to be pullin' one of these out of my purse regularly.

Actually, I already DO hang them in my ears... . ...

ANNNNNNNND......

ONCE AGAIN...

ALL HAIL KWEEN KHERRIGNNE!!

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:

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

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

Certainly! Rubber body parts for all!

Brave wee kitties, for all!

[Loey]

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?

[Loey]

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

Your Reign was definitely not long enough so I protest replacing our dear Kharengg!!!!!

Love,

Loey

P.S. going Xmas shopping for Tony today. I wonder if we'll top the ginormous condom we got him last year. Should I get him the scrotum?

Theme shopping is always fun. Think of all the fun things you can get through the years!!

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.
