well nuitritionist was very helpful and had some good thoughts
I am one of those special folks who have become lactose intollerant so it will be trial and error to figure out what makes tummy hurt and what is cool
Good news, ice cream does not cause tummy pain!

Neither does frozen yogurt or aged cheese.

I had RF turbinate surgery this afternoon.. in my ENT's surgical suite on another floor of his office, only bled for about 3 hours....much better than when I had turbinate surgery & septoplasty 17 years ago....that time I bled like crazy and had to be in hosital overight and they pack my nostrils with about 5 feet of gauze in each nostril...gag!
Life absolutely CRAZY TOWN.....1 ambulance company that I rode in on the same day I rode in another Feb 5, 2016 when I was in critical condition with Severe Sepsis.... I did NOT know the name of the company, & they never sent me a bill .....they said they sent 9 pieces of mail and then it was sent to collection, We never received anything! WHY WHY WHY would I ignore a bill will all the insurance we have!...I have medicare and a secondary insurance that we pay over $13000 a year....but after a year my insurances don't pay.....I am now composing a "book" for the Attorney General!
Saw My oncologist in May....felt my 3 big axillary nodes found on MRI and then sent me to ultrasound in the breast center (another building)...and they were beneign....didn't talk about the right internal mammary node that is still enlarge....under top bone of sternum. I see him again next Friday. Blood test and I think aother MRI in my future in Nov.
More....later

ducky, the nuitritionist was chinese american and she said lactose intolerance is growing but it is also very individual. Apparantly i am not unique. Suggestion from her is to keep a food diary to figure out what bothers my tummy. I actually find this whole thing sort of fascinating if not a dang pain!

Iris.....my daughter had so many food allergies and it all began with dizziness, stomach stress, and clogged ears.....who would have thought....she went to an ENT, and he told her to go to an allergist....she did and Lord you would not believe all the things she was allergic to.......even not able to eat anything leftover after 3 days....citrus, mushrooms, vinegar, yogurt, etc.....I could go on and on.....on drops, and finally found out to that she was allergic to smething in the new building that her company had built in the Phila. Navy Yard, which is an up and coming area that is being developed........they said it was a "green building"......because of the problems she was having she was told she had to work from home....could only go in 1 day a week, and when she does by Noon, she is dizzy and nauseous.......but after touting about the Great Building.....they don't want any problems with a law suit...Big Pharma comany......so they are working really well with her.....
This building plus others was built on ground that at one point the EPA condemned many years ago....they claimed it was taken care of and safe to build on.....and you kow damn well they are not going to try to find out what is growing in that building....LOL.....easier to take my daughter out of the element and let her work from home everyday........allegies are brutal, let alone a building that is causing problems....

My singing partner’s wife is allergic to myriad foods: raw tomatoes, strawberries, anything with yeast (so even if she were a drinker, wine & beer would be verboten), corn, shellfish and pork…and to add insult to injury, she was recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Fortunately for her, she has no gluten sensitivity, so baked goods leavened with baking powder or soda are okay. And she is a carnivore, so at least she can eat meat, poultry & fin-fish, as well as dairy.

what pisses me is no one else in the family has all these sensitivity

Sure do miss my housekeeper—never realized how tough all this bending, stretching and squatting can be with sore muscles from strength training. Especially since all my son does is take out the garbage…and only if I ask. Only thing my husband does is bring home the bacon, so he gets a free pass so long as he doesn't make the mess worse and at least puts his dirty dishes in the sink and his dirty clothes in the hamper.

Good morning everyone! I've been so busy this past weekend. My port removal went well. I wish I was told before having it done that I couldn't swim for 6 weeks afterwards. Oh well, at least it's not the whole summer like last year. The glue is already starting to come off from sweating. It's only been 3 days, hopefully it won't all come off before my 5 day follow up appointment. We'll see.
Looks like I have a lot of reading to catch up on so I better get at it. 😊

Once my kids knew what it was to be expected to clean up after themselves and I ws their Mother and not their Maid there were things they did without being told........
Of course they were told to pick upafter themselves and if they didn't whatever was theirs stayed there and there was 6 of them.....after a few days when they didn't pick up their stuff I would finally do it for them.....and tossed it all to the basement and it didn't matter what it was....old, new, never worn etc.....when they came home from school I told them.....well Ifinally cleaned your room and picked up your stuff.......I got "thanks Mom" then I would follow it by showing them where it was......were they angry, sure they were......did I feel like I made a point....damn right I did, and from; thn on they knew what "pick up after yourself meant"...
I don't need a cleaning person....its my sons idea....do I appreciate it......of course......do I expect it.....never.....I just have great kids

your policy for cleaning after your kids sounds like my brothers cleaning method. He said tthe smell of stinky gym clothes...........awesome. then again i remember being in the car with my nephew and his pal after a sailing event.....my sister reminded me to open the windows, the aura of 2 16 year olds........

I thank the Heavens there are only two of us that I really have to pick up after.
I remember some weekends when my brother in law was working and I would go over to their place to help my sister out with their kids. I would sit and listen to my sister telling her kids to pick up their stuff and they ignored her until she was heading for the kitchen for some garbage bags. If they were still ignoring her, I'd go over to her and tell her to calm down, give me the list of chores the kids were supposed to do and I would take care of it. I'd walk in the room they were I which was usually the living room and proceed to take measures to get their attention, like shutting the tv off, etc. I'd tell them "ignoring your Mom time is over and your Dad will be on his way home soon and he wasn't going to be very thrilled that the mess was still there from the last time he saw it that morning and it was time to get moving on helping clean the house!" I would read out which chores each kid had, starting with oldest to youngest. I swear I would never have seen three kids move so fast!!! By the time my brother in law would walk in the door the kids had just about finished the chores!!!! My sister hated to interrupt my day but if it got the kids cleaning it was worth it.
But even though I helped my sister from time to time with that, in my own defense I was a bit of a slob back then!!!! Now I can't stand a mess if I can help it! Lol

Am thankful on a daily basis for retired DH who takes care of the majority of the housekeeping, yard work, etc. chores - he has turned into a very good house husband! Once DD got to a certain age, while she was living with us (now on her own in NYC), she was responsible for cleaning her room & bath, as well as her laundry.

Hubby helps with stuff like the housework and yard work.

During my recovery time my friend paid for a housekeeper for me. Now my DH is willing to pay every other week. I just can't keep up anymore. Ducky, you have great kids. Your ex DIL is a fool for leaving your son. He sounds like a gem. Any word from Lucy about her DGS?

My hubby tries but there's just to much "stuff" that I get tired of moving, cleaning and putting back I don't bother any more. I've asked for a storage shed of my own so I can clean the house out completely except for furniture. It doesn't help that there's only 2 closets in this whole house. Never again! lol

I have so much obsolete stuff that nobody on Craigslist would even take off my hands for free (e.g., Palm Pilot accessories, old software & computer books, etc.). I really need to start using these next three weeks without my housekeeper (she’s still not bearing weight on her surgical foot) to discard it—as luck would have it, I also have lots and lots of empty wine cartons to throw out, so I will combine the two tasks. But also running out of room in the wine racks.
