(hee hee) I know, I know: you don't much care for HP computers; all I'll say is "there are duds from every manufacturer" My husband's Dell is mumbletwitch years old; I remember doing a video interview on it six years ago or thereabouts and it wasn't new then.
Infection issues to follow in a PM; I don't want to tie up the list.

Queenie cat that's the closest that this stupid kindle will let me get. Got the PM.
Regarding Magsokay it'official. She had clots blocking both lungs through the vascular system. Official name Pulmonary embolism. She has received a half dose of clot buster. She has improved.
Glenda her cousin and caretaker said her color, well being and breathing has improved greatly,since morning..
MAGS belongs to an amazing church of good folks. Their prayer network is working. Do not underestimate prayer.
Considering the survival rate is very low for this type of event. Less than low low percentages,MAGS is very right,God Is not done with her yet.
She has blessed our lives with her presence. We must do our part now. Activate your networks.
Thanks

I have been here since 2009 ,active since 2010,the notification about a request for thoughts about a member is unusual. Thoughts about. A member like Bluebird, has never happened for the folks that I knew. Marijen has the info. on email and mailing address for husband Bruce.
This is unusual. We must follow through. Even if you don't feel like you knew Bluebird, well try to write a note or send an email.
I just 're read the top paragraph. Oh my. So many kindle corrections.
Generally, we are cut out or an after thought. Blue must have been very verbal.about our space in her life. Bluebird Diane Essa with her Danny boy was a joy to us
This is the first time in all the deaths that I have lived through, that we have been invited to speak to the family. Please take a moment to do it.

Yea a new computer should be #1 on the list! Can't communicate without one.
My PET scan went well but I wondered why the tech had my arms crossed on top of me instead of on the sides.
Today I had a bone density thing for my primary and was not going to do a chest xray for the onc. because I felt what's the point. But I had it.
The xray tech actually let me take a look. Of course you know I was an RN for 25 years and know a bit how to read xrays.
I look at the xray and one lung has this big black "chunk" on my lung and I'm thinking "Oh Lord!". I fret all the way to Lowe's for paint. I fret all the way to Publix for my scripts. I fret all the way home to the computer and look up pictures of lung cancer. Then I realize what a dope I am. Black is good! White is not! The black chunk was probably just an area of 02. Not cancer. So I'm very relieved at least I read an xray wrong. How dumb!
Learned my lesson.

I know. I'm a retired RN, too and I know just enough to be dangerous! LOL

I had an appt with my urologist today - in the midst of my questions about my frequent uti's, he said "we don't know exactly what is causing your uti's but at least we know it isn't cancer...." DD and I looked at each other and we both teared-up in relief. We need more of those moments!!

Woo Hoo! Feeling much cooler yesterday and today. The heat wave finally broke, so its back to normal summer temps as usual. Might have a couple of 90 degree days this coming week, but I can handle that better than a week’s worth!

Mostlymom, I know what you mean. I would cry too.

Hellllllloooooooooo I'm way behind. I do have a new computer. Another HP Pavillion 360. Fella explained that when they came out with my model 4(?) years ago it was new. Not all the bugs were worked out. SOOoo, I looked at a bunch and got the same thing.
This is sad, I can't remember if I got it with the brain tumor coming out or the Thyroid cancer fix. It was one or the other. So. coulda been 2012 or 2014. Like I said one or the other.
Haven't talked with Mags. There was a PM that I read before coming here. I had hoped she posted. It was from 6 hours ago. She posted her CT scan of the chest. Heart showed some strain. BUT sheesh, generally, the heart just doesn't do well with these batterings of clots. (understatement). I told her cousin to tell her she was a tough old bird. She translated it to tough old broad. She laughed anyway.

OHhhh two new nurses Princess and Gndvll. Yes, we nurses are trouble makers. PITA's and everything else. WELCOME here
Also, WELCOME to 50's girl
Egads, totally failure on paleo. Totally believe it's the right way to go, but don't want to right now. Gawd if anyone needs to do it right now it's me. Just bear with me coach.
Queenie, the positives on the new machine. Silver keyboard larger letters. Touch screen. YAY. I must have hit a button , b/c back lighting of keys already doesn't work. The configuration of keys is way different. So I hit something where the key used to be. DUH something different happens. Already learning to compensate. The sound is way better. I'm working at not pounding the keys. The keystroke was awful with the old one. There was a screen for fingerprint identification, but I gave up on making it work. Not sure I even gave it time to do total set up. I just wanted to be on the internet. Definite lesson and I knew it. They kept trying to sell me stuff to go with it. I couldn't hear and just said fine do it. Looked at the final bill. Bought a TV for the bathroom too and a router "booster(?)". I was a in a flippant mood. I guess that's similar to grocery shopping when you are hungry. Dangerous.

MostlymOm so nice to see you. You fly in here and I just love to see your feathers. I even remember when you chose your feathers.
You likely have "Pain and Other Things "in your favorites. It a repository of my old posts. Page back through and look for a post on UTI's . It's a dissertation on D-Mannose. Not sure who clued me into it. BUTTTTT it's a goody. The research on it is not conclusive. You can find pro-con. ERGO, inconclusive.
MY story, random urinalysis showed UTI. I searched. (or someone clued me and then I did the search). Anywhooses, I was on D- Mannose for three months twice a day----no antibiotics in that time period and no other drug changes. Then I had the yearly wellness thingy. Urine clean. Whoohooo.
Well caught clean catch urines with supporting evidence in sample, just don't clean up. OR so we thought. Or so we think.
D=mannose is a sugar, but a different type of sugar. In the bladder it doesn't allow bacteria to adhere to the bladder wall. So, it's a preventative. More details in the research article. All I cared about was sample was clean.
Since it was the yearly, I also had the cholesterol/lipids/HDL/LDL numbers. Hdl was the highest it's ever been. I threw keywords D- Mannose and HDL into Ducky(like google). Again it's a pro-con thing. Research is inconclusive. BUTTTTT since in no time in my history had I been at top normal on HDL. Duh, I'm going with it.
I figure the D-Mannose is a two for one neutraceutical. It's expensive, or it's expensive per my thoughts. I'm cheap. But I did let it go for awhile and guess what happened. So, back on it twice a day.

Sas: yeah, don't computer shop when you're flippant. Television for the bathroom? (rolls eyes) Keyboard backlighting works if you're typing in the dark; I haven't figured out why 90% of the people using computers need this. Turn a light on! Otherwise, I'm sure you'll do well with the HP.

Queenie, Hahaha, I did a TV in the main bath years ago. I love it. 18 inch. This ones a 24 inch b/c it had Roku. It's nice when getting ready, you can get the news or whatever. Then when shows are on, I put the BR TV on the same channel. I never miss any of the action.
I can't say enough about how improved this machine is compared to the last one. Especially the audio. It's way louder and with great clarity. Keystroke is light years improved.

Sas: I guess I'm a low-tech sorta gal. A TV n the bathroom would just unnerve me. Ended up using my current laptop for skyping with a student at [local community college] whom I"m tutoring; the sound's important but a nifty headphone with its own mic helped.
(waves hello to Mommyof2, and anyone else who needs the friendship)

Queenie, I'm low tech and used to be High tech. Hahaha. In the 70's in the Operating department, I rose fast in the process. I was a learning sponge. I wanted to KNOW what I was doing was right. I was into the books and asking for cases. There were about a half dozen of us of the same mind, it was so much fun. We'd request cases. Even if our assignment was to circulate(unsterile person). We'd set up our rooms, and then instead of taking a break, we'd meet each other in the sterile hallway and do our 10 minute scrub. Which meant if a scrub assignment came up we were ready. We would laugh so much. Such a group I have never worked with again.The energy was so great. Back to point, that set us apart from the ones that just were doing a job, We read the equipment operation manuals for the fancy new equipment that was being introduced.
If all else fails read the directions, was the early lesson. Our 1/2 dozen of us did become the go to resources of operation.
B/C of attitude about using the NEW stuff, I was asked to scrub when the skin stapler was introduced and the intraabdominal stapler was introduced. Huge compliment. The Boss new I would read the directions
For hospital stuff, except for some ICU stuff, I was a star. So, counter that with the fact that I can't make a I-Phone cell phone call. Hahaha. Seriously, I can't use a I phone cell phone.
I did think I could conquer it years ago. I pushed some buttons on sons phone. It dialed. I felt a sense of panic, but no clue how to stop it calling, other than smashing IT. It was the first person in sons phonebook. I explained I had no clue how to disconnect. The young man was very polite and explained how to disconnect.
difference never read the manual.......frankly, thought I could get through this life without doing it. I see them as to consuming. Never wanted to be that available. Value is on road trips in case of breakdown. I'm braking down b/c Spectrum has raised prices ridiculously.
