Hello to all

To Beth, , Bruce, et all...I'm

being good...honest...I'm using the 15 minute rule!

The packers were the unpackers for whatever they packed. It's just

going to be a search and destroy mission for Mike and Me to find

everything. They started out OK but after 3 straight days of unpacking

they just sort of PUT stuff where ever it seemed to be right.

I would catch some problems but not all.

After we get all the stuff where we wanr it, wwe then have to unpack

what we packed !!! It's waiting in the garage!

After that we still need to bring things from the other house ( only 5

minutes away)

My cedar closet is still filled as are the cabinets in the basement.

Since the house hasn't sold yet( damn) we have the opportunity to take

it slowly.

Joyce, It was great to see your post...you

have total right to rant about that ICU disaster.

Zena, You mentioned crackles. Mine

stopped after many months of Prednisone etc. and have not returned.

I hope your testing continues to be positve.

Kerry, I've been off line during the

move..I just read about your testing.

My wishes for the answers you want.

Babs, Fellow book lover and chocolate

lover too!!!

I love to read children's literature. Harry Potter , Secret Garden,

Phantom toll booth just to name a few

The Hobbit too!.

I'm starting Limeny Snickets this week!!!

Being an elementary teacher for many years before getting my MA as a

Reading specialist I just love kid's booke.

Sher, I read about your newest Doc. and

the results. I hope the o2 situation settles down and that your eye

feels better. Mike had both eyes done within 4 weeks and his vision is

amazingly better and he had no problems with the surgery at all

Jim, Your answer to those who ask about

your retirement is great.

I've been asked if I get bored just staying home and not working. Are

they kidding?'

My new job is working at living with this disease. That and

unpacking!!!.

Vicky, Good to see your post here!!

I haven't seen posts from Irene, , Gwynne since I came back

yesterday.

That's it for tonight...

Regarding Irene:

She's still in heavy pain and not eating and basically waiting for

her Crohn's infusion on Wednesday. She communicated with her GI today

and all appears to be set. She has a friend going with her so she

doesn't strangle the nurse who caused all this by injecting blood

thinner both in the abdomen where you wouldn't a person with Crohn's

and by hitting her small intestine. If the injection doesn't solve

the problem she may require surgery to remove the blockage within the

small intestine. She should have more of a feel for that by the time

she meets with her GI on Friday as the Crohn's treatment generally

shows some effect quickly.

Good thing I'm not in Toronto as I would be too tempted to find that

nurse and randomly find painful places to insert a needle. Not

really, but still fun to think about.

She's been in about three weeks of unbearable pain and lost 25 pounds

all as a result of medical mistakes starting with CT's for the wrong

disease, including 8 ER's who wouldn't see her to take care of their

own mistakes because they had their equipment shut down for the day,

8 hour waits then in other ER's to be followed by finding another, a

couple of all night hospital stays, and an insane Rheumatologist.

She's pretty much going straight to bed most nights when she gets

home and staying in bed as long as she can until she must leave for

work. Yes, somehow she's working. Thank God Wednesday is almost here.

I look at some of the horrible things I've encountered in ER and then

in the hospital, or things i thought were horrible, but then I talk

to her and read about Joyce's problems and I know I've had it very

easy.

I guess its true twins really can feel when the other twin is in pain

because I sure do feel for her right now.

, I hear they're going to make a movie out of The Hobbit due to

the success of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I hope so as that's one

of my favorite books too!

Do you like Louisa May Alcott? I've read and re-read Little Women so

many times I've lost count....

And being an elementary school teacher I'm sure you're familiar with

the Scholastic series...so bragging for a moment here...my niece,

Ambrosek authored 2 books for them. One on Malcom X and one on

the Scopes Monkey Trial.

So, please unpack slowly, eating chocolate for energy (ok, sugar rush

but energy just sounds better) and just plain pleasure, and remember

to take extra good care of yourself. We moved last July so I

understand what you're enduring right now.

Big, big hugs!
