Useless Facts/Chit Chat Thread

[AuburnJen92]

Yeah, they won't let you wear sunglasses either and man, it gets brutal this time of year. Plus the kiddies are such smart a$$es right now because they know it is only three more weeks of school and they think rules no longer apply.

I think my DS4 has also caught on to that fact as well. Even his Nana (who hardly ever says no) called me up and told me she had a conversation with him and the time out chair today!

 

[des1954]

If Nana had to put him in time out, one of two things happened...

DS4 pulled a really good one


-OR-

Nana is in menopause!!

(I know from experience how this stage of life can take you from normal to raving bi**h in a split second! > )

Hey..... has anyone heard from John today???

John...come out, come out, wherever you are!!

 

[AuburnJen92]

Nope, Nana is past that (THANK GAWD!). He was REALLY bad. She has only put him in time out 3 times in his life that I know of.

Thank goodness he is asleep now, or I wouldn't have spelling as one of my strong points right now. (honestly, if there wasn't spell check, i would be in BIG trouble!)

I haven't seen John all day. I hope he is feeling good enough to talk to us this evening.

I'm here, just lurking.

On top of everything, I really blew my back out yesterday. It hurts so bad that I can't move, it even hurts to breathe. So I have been chewing on vicodin like Dr. House. LOL

When it rains, it pours right? Thanks for thinking about me! You are so nice.

Jen.... if my mom were still living, I'd be grovelling at her feet begging her forgiveness for all the teasing and hard times I gave her when she went thru menopause.

I think she might have convinced God to give me a double-dose of hot flashes & temper flares!

And for your mom's sake... yes, thank God she's past it!! It's the most horrible thing I've ever experienced. (Couldn't take any HRT drugs or nuthin - just suffered it out.)

 

[AuburnJen92]

My mom wouldn't take drugs because she refused to go to the dr's. (she tends to be hard headed, and i wonder where i get it from?)

Most of the rough stuff ended last year, so we can actually walk into her house and not scrape ice off the windows...

I know that she has made some deal to give me my penance later..I already have a boy, which growing up with a sister gives me no clue as to what I am doing...I go day by day

There is absolutely nothing worse than back pain, John. Been there, done that, and I do not want the t-shirt!!

Is the pain in your back muscular, arthritis, stenosis, or a blown disc? My DH had, what I call, a disc-ectomy on the L-5 a couple of years ago. When his pain got so bad he no longer could walk around Epcot, he went to a neurosurgeon. <see what his priorities are?>

One day out-patient surgery, two weeks recovery, BOOM!! No more pain!!

Vicodin can be your friend, but please, be careful with it!!

I went to my podiatrist this morning & got my foot shot up with cortizone. He told me he went deeper this time & my foot might actually get worse before it gets better. He was right! Just call me gimpy. Hopefully it'll be less sore tomorrow b-4 I have to go to THD to work!

It looks like we are both living better through chemistry, huh??

BTW.... if you knew the real me.... you'd never connect nice with my name!! But thanks! (mwuah!)

John, sorry about your back.

Deb...give it two full days and then you will start to reap the temp benefits..I used to have that done more often than I should have...finally had to get the surgery done on both feet...I should not have coached while PG, I killed my feet big time..

John...can the docs offer you any relief other than just pain meds? I feel for ya man!

 

[des1954]

Jen-

I actually carried around a battery-operated fan & got some of those neck scarves that you soak in water, put in the fridge & then around your neck. Talk about "looking so fashionable"!

 

[des1954]

Okay.... I gotta go get some housework done!! How mundane!!

Bye til later, ya'll!

 

[auntie]

John...I was thinking of you today also..seems all of us have, I'm hoping that you get to feeling better soon.

Scott, I have been checking it out, it looks great.

Deb, I had micro discectomy of l4-l5 and l5-s1 (about 7 yrs ago) and was doing great, but 1 month to the day after surgery, I sneezed and blew them both out again. The doc wanted to operate again, but said it was 50 50 if it would work, said I needed them fused, but like with my ankle, he said I was to tall and too fat to do it. This time it is on the other side, but in the same area, and feels like disc on nerve again .

For the pain in my ankle, they wanted to put a sub q morphine pump in me about a year ago. I said no. I don't like needles, there have been SO MANY over the last decade, that I didn't want to have to have the shots to fill it up and flush it out (I'm 6'8" and act like a little girl when I see a needle).

I really feel bad for dumping this stuff here, but thanks for listening guys, it means a lot.

Met with the surgeon today as a 3 week follow-up to Justin's surgery; could hear some hootin' an hollerin' in a nearby room before the surgeon came in.

He told us that the pathology report had not been finalized, and that hollerin we heard was the surgeon getting the great news that all but two lymph nodes came back as negative for cancer, and the two that had the cancer were the ones we knew about back in December when the surgery was scheduled. This should be it, on to the routine monitoring stage and getting back to whatever "normal" is supposed to be!

The doctor was actually somewhat "verklempt" and probably just as excited to get the news as we were. Gotta love the guy, probably one of the most gifted guys with a knife, been cutting kids open since the 1970's and probably still likes to get a "win" in the record books. All the other doctors out there working their blackberries and PDA's, and this guy has a 40-cent spiral bound note pad in his shirt pocket with half a pencil and lots of post-it notes. Not knocking the doctor's with the blackberries (our endocrinologist has one and even kept in touch with us over the weekend of Justin's first surgery), but there is something down to earth about that mini-steno pad.

So, anyway, now on to PLANNING THAT TRIP TO THE FORT!!! Only 89 days!

What great news for Justin and your family!!
