Shep - With my left hip reconstruction & the right hip replacement, plus the three revisions, I've always had to take pre-med antibiotics before dental appts for the first 2 years. Bacteria that is stirred up during dental procedures can enter the bloodstream and go to the new joints. However, now that I am immuno-compromised from the Ibrance, I have to take the antibiotics every visit. Fortunately, I only have had to see the dentist twice a year for cleaning. I don't have dental insurance, so I make sure to brush & floss carefully to hopefully avoid the dentist as much as possible.
Don't blame your mischief on Loverly. You come by it honestly, so embrace it. Besides you're never mean spirited.
Considering where we are (on BCO), I don't think anyone here would think it weird for you to compliment Smaarty's knitted knockers! Now in any other setting, people might not be so open minded.
Sensi - Hoping you have a enjoyable New Year holiday. Do you work this weekend or do you get to stay home with Chance and stay warm?
Lookie - Thanks, I am feeling a bit better. Still coughing, but with the nebulizer treatments I am able to keep my lungs clearer.
Hello Queenie! Nice to see you. How is school going?
Susan - Feeling any better? How's DH?
Weather report for Oregon this coming week is that we will have temps in the teens & 20's for the high. Spokane, WA is supposed to have -9 on Tuesday and -14 on Wednesday in the daytime. BRRRR!
Teka - You are funny. What is the drinking thread?
MammaRay - Nice wig! How do you like it?
WildT - The pillow idea is a really neat one. Great gift idea.

The Kirbmeister with the breeder's Son. Only 3.5 days now! Can't wait to snuggle that fur face.
I went to the store today to buy a bell for Kirby's collar, so I know where he is all the time and don't step on him. Kirby is about 4.5 to 4.75 lbs at this point.

my SIL has to take antibiotics every time she sees the dentist after she had a knee replacement. I asked (same dentist) and he said I didn't need to. I have a dentist appt the day before the sx. Wonder if I should cancel it?
Where's Loverly, she should be back by now, said it was 1 week. Must be having fun with the girls since school is still out.

Smaarty ~ Will the surgeon give you antibiotics during the surgery? If so, maybe you could have the dentist give an RX to take that would cover pre and post-op? I'd get the RX and keep the appointment. You might not feel up to sitting the chair after SX. Plus, you'd have it out of the way and not have to worry about re-scheduling.
MammaRay ~ Was that pic of you in the pretty new hair? You changed your avatar again and now it's gone
Queenie ~ The uh-hum, "pictures" ..... you'll have to ask Teka. I won't talk about them anymore; Teka got a little upset with me. Bless her heart, she's a grown woman and what she does in "private" is really no concern of ours. 🙄 *I'm sure that's what Loverly would say.
Lookie and JunieB ~ I am so disappointed with you two girls!

Yeah, MommaRay, I just want to make it to 2018, too...provided I have decent QOL!
What's everyone doing for New Year's Eve? One of my oldest and dearest friends is coming over to spend the night with us (no one should be driving back home across a bridge on New Year's Eve with all the sobriety check points). We're having champagne and some sort of seafood. Hopefully we won't pass out b4 midnight!

Lita - I'll be home where it is warm and cozy. However, I do have to do laundry tomorrow daytime. Doesn't that sound like a wild time?

She is so cold, her fingers froze! Spookers...! So you mean that all you panty-waists in Florida think it's COLD when it is above freezing? Put on a muck-luck! Get you some duds that keep you warm!
I see a 72 up there? It was so nice here yesterday, that we walked up to Starbucks & I sat outdoors in the SUN! (With my coat on) But it was so FuN! Some gal walking her dog by me hollered at her dog because he almost jumped on the little table I was sitting at...Hah! He remembered I gave him dog treats last time I saw him.... So I said "Oh wait, I think he remembers"... So he got a couple more.... HE loves me anyway...
See, whenever we go anywhere I carry a few dog snacks.... ! Come to think about it, we buy dog snacks, cat treats, and food for our neighbor's cat. Took those Chickens over the rest of the Apple Cobbler that we couldn't eat any more of. And the squirrels got their share too! Sheppers you were saying something on the last 2 pages, and now I forgot!
Anyway you gals.... Have a wonderful New Years Eve... and behave! Don't go gettin' all snickered up so you can't drive.... xoxo

Smaarty: I would call your surgeon and let them know you have a dental app't the day before surgery, and let the surgeon make the call whether to cancel dentist or not. I didn't see what type of surgery you are having,, but there is always a preop dose of antibiotic before the first incision. (usually IV in the hospital). Depending on the type of surgery (and what he/she thinks about the dental app't) the antibiotic may be continued after surgery if needed.

Pretty cold here this morning. Gotta make a grocery list in a bit. Will finish taking down the rest of the Christmas decorations today.

shep, I'm having the implants removed and going flat. I always bring home antibiotics and I'm sure they give some during sx. I'm going to cancel the dentist and reschedule for February. It's just a cleaning, so no big deal to move it.
Morning all. Almost came here at 3 in the morning. Couldn't get back to sleep, stupid dreams about sx, sewing retreats and Trump. Ugh. No comments on the last one please, there's 2 threads on BCO for politics. There's should be some way to make your brain shut off in the middle of the night!
No plans here for tonight. DH is making chili and we're renting a movie or two.
Be safe out there if you're partying! 🍾🎉

.Hello ladies! Just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a wonderful and safe New Year's Eve!
Work is keeping me super busy and I even pulled a double (big mistake). Learning to listen to my body. I work early tomorrow, but am going to spend time with friends tonight. Plan on having a couple/few drinks and then will Uber home. 2016 was rough with grandma passing and breast cancer. Very thankful to have found you all! Wishing you all the best in 2017

Junie, How are you feeling? Are you doing Albuterol or Pulmicort nebs? Yes..I know a tad (understatement) about nebs. So the weather is supposed to be cold, but it sounds like clear for the trip to get Kirby? I read on one BCO thread that someone was told by her MO to get a flu shot in the fall, and again in Jan or Feb. I second whoever said you should check with your Dr.
Shep, You are naughty in the best possible way!
MammaRay, So glad you had fun with the wig..makes me smile. Instead of goal to make it to 2018, I'm requesting that it be A LOT longer than that.
Smaarty, Such talent to be able to knit your knockers! (I don't think it's weird to tell her so, after all, I have a friend who can't wait to feel my new squishies.) I also wish there was a cure for nighttime busy brain!!
Chevy, Dog snacks in your pocket...careful you don't get chased down the street by a pack of dogs!
Hello to everyone I missed.
I'm home tonight, with a few movies from the library. One of my aunt and uncles invited me over for a party, but I didn't want to drive a half hour and hang out with a bunch of people I don't know. When I was 17 my step mom was killed in a car crash on New Year's Eve day. It wasn't drinking related, it was morning and she was going to work, but just another reason I don't like to be out on the roads unnecessarily. Tomorrow afternoon is my date with DD, and she wants to shop at the Disney store. My kids are so easy to please. Besides the princesses, she likes the fairies, so that's why I came up with the pixie dust comment. In fact, I have a Tinker Bell doll in my bedroom right now. One night when DD was going to be away she decided I needed to snuggle with one of her dolls, and it has stayed with me since then.
May you each have a peaceful New Year!

WildGrrrrl ~ Where were you yesterday when they all was so mean? Thank you friend for sticking up for me 😊
I don't care much for going out on New Years' either. Too much forced happiness and waaay too much drinking. Accidents happen easily enough without all the liquor. I'm so sorry you lost your Step-Mom so tragically when you were so young. She must have been very special to you for you to have kept her so close in your heart.
Disney Store outing!!!! I love Disney! Marti has a Tinkerbell and a Snow White costume 'cuz she is a fairy princess too. Very impressive that DD would share her Tink with you ~ certainly a sign of a Best Mom Ever 💜
MammaRay ~ You look so cute as a redhead! Yes, a goal to make happy memories 💕
FFH is pesting me to go next door for a little bit...thpppppppp.
Warmest wishes to all for a wonderful 2017 free of pain and worry - and full of happiness and love 🤗

Shep, Yes, my step mom was special to me. Yesterday I took the kids to the library, cooked, cleaned and my mom came over for several hours. By 7 pm I was falling asleep while sitting up. I may be delayed, but I've got your back! DD does have a very sweet heart, and it's all her. You know I want to see Marti in her costumes now!! Take care!

WildT - I use the Albuterol neb. Plus, the coughing has continued to be persistent, so I called doctor today and got a script for codeine cough syrup.
After reading Sensi's post about listening to our bodies I have realized just how rough this all day trip to pick up Kirbs is going to be on me, so I made a hotel reservation in Portland next to the Airport and will take the bus the rest of the way home on the next day after Kirby & I have had some sleep. Now I need to make sure I have everything I need to spend a night away from home.
Happy New Year to Everyone!

Some of you are already in 2017. Some of us are almost there. Be safe!

Happy New Years everyone!
Junie, have you tried Dayquil, and Nyquil for your cough? That worked better for me, along with antibiotics and the Nebulizer than the Tessalon Pearls did! Is your problem Asthma or Bronchitis, or both? And have you tried those sinus rinses? And a humidifier?
I get out the "big guns" whenever I get that bad....
Kirby is waiting for you! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

If you want to see the new bald eagle chick in Florida, click above.
By the time I posted that and went back to look, she was sitting on them again. One has hatch but not the other.
We made it to 2017 and I even was up past midnight.

And her is a continuous live feed watching mama and her baby in Florida! Did any of you watch the Owls Molly & McGee raise their babies in California? I was so fascinated with this!

Yeah! We made it to 2017. I was waiting for my last 2 loads of laundry to dry when the fireworks started to go off at midnight. I had lost track of time and it startled me. It was so loud, I thought maybe someone had fallen outside my apt. and went outside to check, then more fireworks and I looked at the clock and realized it was midnight already. Wow!
Only 2 more days until the Kirbster comes home! Yeah!
Chevy - I'll have to check out the Eagle Cam. I have asthma, and right now probably bronchitis since this has hit me so hard. The cough is wearing me out and making my ribs hurt. It has been two weeks now and I am so ready for this to be done with. My C-PAP has a humidifier on it, the cough syrup has codeine in it and with the nebulizer I use Albuterol, I am hoping to see light at the end of the tunnel soon.
What are Tessalon Pearls?
Hey Spookie - How cold is it there today? ;0)
I'll check back later ladies. Have I good first day of January.

Happy New Year everyone! Hoping for a 2017 full of the best health possible for each of us.
Having a restful afternoon, should be putting things away and cleaning up from the holidays but the grandbaby and family went home today so I'm just reflecting on all I have to be thankful for. Only see him a few times a year but its very sweet each time. They grow so fast!
My Gus kitten however is glad to have the house and his "mom" back and is very needy, which truthfully helps. Makes me think of JunieB and how wonderfully different your house will be in a few days.
WildT - thats so sad losing your stepmom young and so tragically. I'm thankful for Uber these days, one of my kids uses it when they go out. However last night I got to thinking I hope the Uber driver was in a safe car and a good driver...mom always has to worry. Thank goodness my mom never knew half of what we did, I'll be honest drinking and driving happened and we were stupid and lucky. Glad times have changed in that regard.

people don't think it gets cold here, but for us, it is. HUSH Chevy
