Re: some better news - Pam

Hey there Pam,

So, you liked my bathroom humor, eh? LOL Part of what I like on this board is

the free exchange of ideas. Not all may be right for each one of us, and your

mileage may vary; but it's so refreshing to see people who are proactive

about something and friendly and willing to share their experiences to benefit

others. Gives me hope for the world in general. :-)

Thanks for confirming the 3 x a day for me. It even has it printed out on my

pharmacy info sheet that comes with all my wonderful new prescriptions. Of

course it also has the caveat " or as directed by your doctor. " Not sure why they

(doctors) are apparently slow to respond to the drug manufacturers recommended

dosing schedule. Could be the old dogs, new tricks syndrome I suppose. I did

check out a couple of sites, and they do all say that 3 times a day is best.

Another interesting thing I saw while googling just now, is that cats

apparently are prone to hyperthyroidism as they age. They too are given tapazole

as a

treatment. Weird, huh? Makes me think of that Seinfeld episode where Kramer

was too cheap to go to a regular doctor and went to a vet instead to get his

medicines, and described his symptoms as being those of his dog.....of course he

ended up acting like a dog before the show was over! LOL

Your neighbor who helped get you set up on a computer sounds like a real

sweetie pie! How much nicer life is when those around us are pleasant and caring

people. We've got some great neighbors too. My gal next door was listening to

me gripe about not feeling well, and whining about how my hubby was out of town

to boot, and instead of a boot to the rear, which I probably more likely

deserved, told me to come over anytime for some nurturing. Her kids are grown

and

she's down to one cat so she has some lovin' to spare. Wasn't that sweet?

Climb up on that soapbox anytime you feel the need to. :-) I've always got a

listening ear, and I pray that your experiences with doctors in the future

may be more positive. I can't say that I've had an adversarial relationship with

any to date, but it's good to know that if I should I can find major

empowerment with people on this board.

Hope you got to spend some more time in your garden this weekend. Take care

till we chat again.
