Juniewhat are your drs going to do with your spine? DH has 2 crushed thoracic vertebrae. Unknown cause. Has had MRI, petCT, didn't light up. Thought for sure it was mets. No. Neuro won't do kyphoplasty. Has brace he won't wear. I'm thinking lidocaine shots, he wants to be a martyr and won't call PCP.
Be real interested to hear your plan.

Junie- wow that you have fracture there for two years with no mention of it? WTH? Kirby sounds cute and snuggly. You are a smart one to wait awhile to let him sleep with you all the time. First things first?
Who mentioned hot pants? I know I am dating myself, but remember in 1971 getting a pair of gold crushed velvet hot pants. I also had these fab lace up boots I wore with them, like that picture shows. Boy did I think I was something! No more short shorts for me ladies.....

I used to love my Spirograph!!! Not so much paper dolls because the little tabs for the clothes would always wear out and tear off.
Had a MISERABLE night! No sleep at all (not even an hour) because Mr. Diarrhea decided to pay me a visit at 1:45 am. I was up and down literally every hour on the hour. Trying to figure out what that was all about. I'm tracing it back to some weird pizza. DH bought some frozen DiGiorno (the chicken one), and I thought it had a funny after taste to it. Of course, DH and DD are just fine, but when you're on chemo, your intestinal tract is compromised and any little thing can set it in an uproar.
I have to spend most of the day in the car, sooooooo I'm employing my usual strategy: Gulping down a few swigs of Imodium, putting on a pair of Depends, and hoping for the best.
Wish me luck ;o).

Lita, oh no not the big D again! I used to like DiGiorno pizza. Not anymore. The forbidden stuffs they put in there
. Thank God for flushing toilets, running water, and venting fan. Oh and adult diapers too. Hope you feel better soon. JunieB, I sent Honest Kitchen an email. Will let you know what they say. I am dissappointed because it seems like a good quality food. Hoping it is just a bad batch.
Sorry to hear about the blood count AND your back. Bummer. It would be nice if it was an easy chess move.
Peppy, Gus is adorable and huggable! And I am not even a cat person. Handsome boy! Either he is tiny or those are huge kumquats! Mandarin maybe?
Sensi, you were up quite late last night. Hope you didn't have to pay for it at work today.
Feline, I was thinking about the same thing. I could sit and play and someone else can take over my responsibilities. Hah!
Shep, I still remember the first day Mom and Dad got us the Atari. We had so much fun on it. Lots of laughter. Not very long after our parents sent us to bed, we heard mom laughing uncontrollably and dad giggling. Yup! They both were trying to figure out how to play with the Atari. Such a sweet sound to children's ears when the parents are happy.
I can't imaging being married to FFH. I would be on the highest dose of Valium. Bless you, my friend. To be honest, I had the same thought as WildT regarding FFH. Scary. Didn't want to say it.
Forward, thank you for helping me to bring back the good memories of growing up.
MammaR, hugs to you sweet girl. Hang in there.

Is everyone behaving tonight? I see some cute doggie pics. It's Wacky Wed isn't it? Or as I like to say, my Thursday. One more day of work. I love my job, but I love my weekends. We're having a lot of rain and winds (40mph). In fact, just saw one of my fences have blown down. Not much I can do about it tonight. Went and let the neighbor know, since it's a good neighbor fence, and we will have to figure out what to do this weekend.Jazzy-how's the mouth after your dental visit. I always hate going to the dentist, but recently found one I really like. Hope you are feeling well.
Mamma-hope you are having a better day. We are all here for you
Shep-I'll have to check into the Peridin C. Hot flashes have been fairly mild, I've been more worried about the knee joint pain. Have my first follow up with MO since starting med Feb 1st. Will have to get her input.
Lover-yes I was up late last night. But I enjoy everyone's company here. So it was worth being a little tired this am. I have The Shawshank movie, if you ever want to borrow it. Or we could have a movie/lunch day
.waving to everyone else. nighty night and good morning feline

Loverly ~ You and WildT must have watched too many episodes of Dexter! Me? I watch Forensic Files....and take notes! 😜
Too Cute, your folks giggling and playing Atari! When we were little it was such an amazing thing to realize that the grown-ups still liked to play. Yes, truly the sweetest sound for young ears 💑
I had to really look hard to figure out what was wrong with that picture of the handicapped accessible door......that was awful!
Sensi ~ That was fun staying up late last night! It's not often we are all here at the same time. We had our own PJ party!
I hope your knee pain is not anything bad. Joint pain is about the only SE I didn't have from Tamoxifen. Everybody is different. Glad your hot flashes aren't too bad. They can be so ucky.
Good luck with your fence. Will it be an easy fix?
JunieB ~ I keep thinking about your compression fracture. This short video very nicely explains the kyphoplasty procedure: https://youtu.be/_lUhQLFHriw It's done as a day surgery and is an easy recovery.
Spookie ~ Why doesn't the doctor want to do a kyphoplasty on your DH? Lidocaine shots would be awesome but they only last a few hours. I'd use 'em in my hips if I could.
Jazzy ~ You are so cool! Of course you had hot pants! And big tall platform sandals to show off your fancy toes too I bet 🙂
Chevy ~ If we all had stayed up later last night you could have had your coffee with us! Your Lacee was a beautiful girl. She must have loved all the special attention you gave her. Did you put hair bows in her fur after grooming her? Marti's fur is too short for ribbons ☹
Lookie ~ Thanks for the memories! We had the funnest toys didn't we?
MammaRay ~ Hope you found your happy place today 💟
"Hey!" to all the Owlies.......

Those childhood memories - I loved paper dolls and Mystery Date. Great memories. Anyone have a Vacuform?
The picture of Gus - it is a dwarf mandarin tree, good job Loverly. Not a kumquat Shep, that is a dirty
sounding fruit . Does it taste better than it sounds? Chevy - Aha you had so many good times in a Chevy. My guys love their Chevys too, one of mine has a tattoo of the "bowtie". Goofball. Is this what you had sticking out of the hood ? Supercharger?
Looking - Married young and a 44 year anniversary, thats really wonderful congratulations.
Shep - The picture with the tools ... does he say but I cant put it away I'm still working on it! I hear that one a lot. Gus does have pretty markings and he is so sweet not a mean bone in his body. Unlike our other demon cat.
Sensi - No kidding on the wind!! Knocked the power out for several hours here. Hope your fence isnt too bad. We havnt been out to check things yet. Power back on now, trying to warm the house up and get to sleep.

Shep, I'm so sorry if my thoughts/comment bothered you in any way. It was not my intent! Please forgive me. My influences are Criminal Minds and SVU. I should fine some better entertainment.

It is 3:50 am. I am surprised to see WildT is up before Ms. Chevy . Can't go back to sleep. Lighting and thunder and heavy rain outside. Have not looked outside to see if our fence is still standing. I heard there were down power lines and trees not too far through a community web site. Need to be up in about 2 hrs for work.
Went downstairs to check on Mitzy. Glad the thunder doesn't bother her.

I guess because of the location. It's the ones closest to his heart. The neuro said he wouldn't do it, pain doc says nothing she can do. I don't believe that and would be at PCP raising $&ll. Like I said, he'd rather be a martyr to the pain. I have to listen to him moan.

Loverly, I'm usually up around 4:30-5 on most school days, but don't take the time to post then.
Working a lot this week..dozed off, sitting up, on couch last night. Then when I went to bed tossed and turned for hours. Need more sleep!
Have a good day everyone.

Sensitive- doing okay on the dental front. She had to drill off the crown which is what gave me the headache and I took it easy with soft food the day off, but things were back to normal yesterday. Just being careful with food and eating on the other side.
Shep- oh yes, platform shoes too but those came a bit later. I was always a giant in those as I am a taller person and 4 inches on top of that made me tower over everybody.
Today I am heading to the gym, lunch with a friend and the movies! Going to see Hidden Figures.

Jazzy and Shep: My thighs were too big for hot pants, but I did wear platform shoes! I also had a pair of those lace-up boots.
Chevy: My dad bought a 57 Chevy station wagon. My brothers still have it. It was the best for trips and going to the drive in.

My DH's Brother still has his 56 Corvette! He is the one that put a super-charger on it at one time.... I hated riding in that car.... ONE time, when his Brother was in Viet Nam, DH asked me to take a ride with him.... Up the alley wasn't so bad.... turned, went a block, turned right by the school, and he stomped that thing!!!! I SCREAMED just as the hood was flying off, air-borne, over the school fence, and landed on the playground !!!!!
I walked home.... needless to say. I HATED going fast! Never rode with him again in that car!
Yes, that 57 was beautiful! All black.... Black & red leather upholstery.... and everything in the car AND under the hood was chromed....
Exactly like this one.......

ummmmmm. We had a 57 for a while. Stock color tourquise everything else was crap. Right down to the vice grips serving as shifter.

WildT ~ What???? Why would I have been offended? If anything I was flattered that you would think me so industrious! Didn't you see my post that I watch Forensic Files for the educational value?

Chevy, that's exactly what the front end of our Chevy looked like, but it was copper tone color.

Dang Sensi! The wind really did a number on your fence! Vinyl fences blow over easy; yours is solid wood! Big smile on my face right now looking at Chance. He is such a happy boy 🐶
It is quiet tonite....everyone must stlll be tired from the other night?
Loverly ~ Hope the storm passed by without any damage or power loss. Mitzy must be feeling safe and secure to not be worried about the thunder and lightning. Were you able to go back to sleep? No fun waking up like that ⛈
Susie ~ So sorry about your grandson. Sending healing thoughts.
Peppy ~ I'm following Loverly's lead 'cuz I keep typeing "Poopy" by accident 😳 I really, really like you, honest! It's just that o and p are too close together on the keyboard....
Yes, kumquat sounds very bad. (who named it? ugh) The fruits are the size of a large gumball. Not much to them but they have a nice flavour - sweet orange without any bitterness, My tree bears fruit pretty much year round. The blossoms smell so pretty, just like the ones on an orange tree. I also have two orange trees. They aren't as hardy as the kumquat. Very cold sensitive. Only two oranges in 8 years! They were really good though! Are the manderins hard to grow? I don't think I've ever eaten one. Are they like oranges?
Jazzy ~ A tall,leggy blonde should never have any shame - Wear those hot pants with pride! Those were so risque back then...now we have Daisy Dukes! Hope you had fun lunching and that the movie was good 🙂
Chevy ~ WOW! That car is a beauty. Love the classics. New cars all look alike and haven't any personality. I would have screamed and gotten out too after the hood flew off the Vette. I hope the schoolyard was empty. Scary, scary!
Spookie ~ Dang, that sucks about DH's docs. If any type of surgery is out, it seems like something could be done for his pain. What is it about men that they see putting up with agonizing pain as some kind of manly feat? (they really aren't bright creatures are they?)
Oooo, the vice grips shifter......that's actually kinda cool. Very creative! My first car was an old Toyota. The windshield wipers broke and had to be operated manually until I could figure out how to fix them. My bestie would have to ride with me when it rained so we could each pull one of the pieces of twine tied to the wipers! It worked like this:

Susie, hope you will hear good news soon. Hang tight.
Now you know why I named JQ, Peppy. Hah! My autocorrect is terrible. I was able to squeeze in maybe 40 mins of sleep b4 the alarm went off.
Oh MY, Sensi!! Lots of down fences in our neighborhood too. I am surprised ours are still standing. More storms are coming. Love to stay up and chat, but Sleepy head tonight. Will try to play tomorrow.

Susie, hope you are able to find the flight to Utah. May Ethan and Jeremy be a living testimony of God's grace and love. Praying for strength and peace for you all of what is paved ahead. Hugs.
ShepK, I just had a chance to watch the video. Hahahaha, you crack me up!! Got to do what you got to do. The storm came around 4:00 this morning. I was worried the hard pounding of the rain droplets would break our glass windows. Could not go right back to sleep because not long after I woke up I had pain on right lower quadrant. Same pain I had yesterday at work. Of course the mind took me to the dark place. AND then I remembered I had lentil mixed bean soup for dinner. Yes, gotta be the trapped wind. Sometimes you have to calm the mind down lest you get a panic attack.
Sensi, good mama!! Love the look on Chance's face. No dog park for Mitzy. The last time I took her there, she rolled in something nasty. I am trying not to give her weekly bath because of her skin condition so got to keep her clean. Poor girl does not get to live like a dog should because of her neurotic mom. I was able to walk her last night before the storm came. She is now sleeping next to the sofa where I am sitting. So peaceful.
Jazzy, hope your headache is gone. There is much more pressure/ noise with drilling through the crown. Had to see an endodontic last year because there was minor bone loss with one of my crown teeth. Stressful experience. I often get on my girls' case about taking care of there teeth. I didn't have good dental care growing up and don't want them to go through the stress. So far neither have cavities. Praise God! How was your outing?
JunieB, Honest Kitchen responded and offer to send me samples of their lower sodium options. Can't seem to find the sodium content on the box. Sent them another email. Curious to see how much more salt is in the Brave. I read that food sensitivity can cause increased thirst also. Interesting. Didn't know that.
Hey Susan, how are you doing?
WildT, hope you get the rest you need this weekend. Wow, you are up while most of us are still in our REM sleep!
Ms. Chevy, I meant to tell you I could only see one( middle) of the three pics you posted of Lacee. The other two are blanks.
Ms. Spookie, I am sorry you have to hear Mr. groan in pain
Why are they so stubborn and not seek help?? 0
