    I saw too where the MODS are answering questions about the changes and it is in testing and they are fixing the quirks. Hopefully they will get it all sorted out soon. I am typing right now and my curser is moving but no words show up until I his preview. Weird!! Everything in the box was blank until I preview and then I can see the words. And the font size is different.

    Hi Hoolies--
    OK everyone figure everything out, then teach me the easiest way...remember I don't learn easily. In fact I usually don't learn, so get all the bugs out first. Every single one of them How's that for being assertive. I'm going to rest awhie now-hahaha like I don't rest enuff.

    I asked Vegette about probiotics. I'm not very happy about the UTI / Cipro / side effect scenario - not very knowledgeable about resistant UTI during chemo. Girl - I'm so happy you had a girl's night out.


    Did a garage sale at a friend's house yesterday - of a houseful of junk I cleared out. I need to stop ragging about the hole DH's hospitalization made in my schedule the week before new job - but I've been paying the price. Finally got my hair colored and mani-pedi in the afternoon for HS reunion, then went home and slept for 10 hrs, so feeling pretty good. Will need to work all day to clean up the detritus, fix lunches for next week (no decent cafeteria on site and no time to drive during 30 minute lunch break). It will be easier when I'm on the road.


    I think I'm already starting to stick out a little on the job. Trying to keep a low profile and be humble, but it seems they think I'm special. I want to be a regular RN, not even telling people about my NP training. Was chatting with this really cool hospice RN about opioid tolerance in pain management and I shared something I learned with him - boss came up and he (RN) said to her- wow - she knows a lot! I got embarrassed and back pedaled and he said "don't discount your knowledge."


    OK - so this is the scoop - I have always been bright and vocal - and it intimidates the hell of out of some people, and it has caused me a fair amount of discomfort in the workplace. I don't want to go there...just want to be humble. Normally love to engage in stimulating discussions about symptom management, especially after studying a topic, but need to be careful. Some people get irritated, so I think I need to just STFU. It's for the best - this job is really important to me - want to start off on the right foot. The culture here in Hawaii is very different, especially for a non-local person raised on the mainland. I'm hired as a union RN, not a NP, and need to learn the basics of Palliative Care first. Please pray for me, that I listen more and talk less.

    Okay Alyson.... I even tried to copy YOUR picture, as well as from Google Images, and it will NOT paste onto here... And when I try and submit, I get a pink box that says...


    "There were problems with this submission. Please correct the following information:

    • Please enter content in the body of your Post."
    • So I can post this, but with no pictures, and no spellll chick, no waveyy red lineee... nothings... (See?) It just lets me say whatever I type... just like Cammi....Ha!
    • But I have told the Mods all about this...
    • I have a Dell desktop, using AOL, and none of this happened before all of the changes....... :)

    Shells, It is tough to hide your light under a basket. Just remember "scope of practice" that should help keep the RN/ NP separate and you out of trouble. I'm glad your job is interesting. Safe travels later this week.

    Had an STFU moment today - my first since BC diagnosis!


    I was at the Mall at a special Jazzercise program for Breast Cancer awareness and to support American Cancer Society - who do a lot for people with cancer in Hawaii. There were about 50 of us doing a one hour Jazzercise class in the center stage area. One of my classmates said " How come you're not wearing pink?, " and I said "Some BC survivors aren't into pink - they say it's more appropriate for little girls, and that we BC survivors are Warrior Women, so red is actually a better color for us." I do it in solidarity for my sisters who feel that way. She said, "Oh, give me a break." I DID NOT say STFU !!


    I said, "At least I'm here - in more ways than one." Discussion ended.

    Ah geez Shell.... Don't go gettin into any kind of fray with those know it alls! Some like pink, and some like red or whatever....


    It's so crappy trying to post, when my typing is a lot faster, than what shows up, and I canNOT post pictures from ANYwhere like I used to, and there IS no spell check on MY tool bar, nor any Smiley's Mary!


    Someone must have wanted something "fixed" so they changed everything, but my computer is rebelling! I can copy and paste ANYthing onto an email, with AOL, same as always, just not here...


    Also, I just copied one of your pictures Alyson, and your whole post Shells, and pasted it all here, and it showed up, but when I hit "preview" it was gone!


    POOF! It is mind boggling... or is it boggleing? Who knows without spell-check?

    Ladies, My niece needs our prayers, she is mentally handicapped.. I asked for prayers for my sister that was in chemo just recently and is doing ok in radiation now, but I just got this email from her about her daughter "M" My sister's DH will be known as "R"


    "I don't know if I told you that M is back in the hospital. My doctor said I could go see her at the nursing home, but to distance myself from the sick people. As soon as I saw her, I knew something was not right. She was unable to control her hands and her eyes were distant and breathing labored. R and I talked with the doctor who was there. M oxygen was really low and her heart rate 144. M was admitted to the hospital and treated for pneumonia. The oxygen went up, but she was not expelling the carbon dioxide. They put a ventilator to help her breath (I am not really set on this idea, but since R was going to see her and he wanted it, I said okay for a short period). The next day, the doctor called me to discus M's periods, which her periods are heavy because her blood count was very low. They did a cat scan to make sure she was not bleeding internal, and in the meantime, they did a transfusion. The cat scan showed a large mass in her abdomen at least a foot in diameter. Later did a ultrasound and believe it is a cyst on the ovary and there are quite a few smaller ones. The OB/GYN team do not want to do anything until M's fever is down. A couple of days ago, the doctor told R that he noticed that her Thyroid is enlarged and that is what is blocking off her airway. They will be doing a biopsy the beginning of this week.

    Well, this website is a blessing, but it is growing and growing and it feels like they are trying to make upgrades. It would be good to send out an explanation on what work they are doing, as we all have grown to depend on this great venue so much.

    Lilli - what browser are you using? If you are on IE, then go to Tools and turn off Compatibility View. If you have it on, there is no tool bar, I've tested it with IE 9. If you are using a different browser, I'll try to test whichever one you are running. If you want to PM me, I'll try to give you more exact info.
