DR TCB, I am very grateful you got sober 24 years ago.

[Jane]

I'm back.  The X-rays show arthritis in my hip and knee, same as before, and the MRI, as before, shows the crushed discs in my lower back.  However, the new analysis of my back is that one of the discs is causing all the pain issues, not thew arthritis.

so, on Dec. 8, at 10:30AM I am having a spinal epidural, which terrifies me.  We'll see if this helps.

I may not have internet access on the 8th, but I will be thinking good wishes.  I will remember the day since it is also Bruce's birthday.

[Jane]

I talked to a to a homeless man recently and asked him how he ended up this way
 
He said, "Up until last week, I still had it all.  I had plenty to eat, my clothes were washed and pressed, I had a roof over my head, I had HDTV and Internet, and I went to the gym, the pool, and the library.
 
"I was working on my MBA on-line.  I had no bills and no debt.  I even had full medical coverage."
 
I felt sorry for him, so I asked, "What happened?  Drugs?  Alcohol?  Divorce?"
 
"Oh no, nothing like that," he said.  "No, no... I was paroled.."
 

[Jane]

On a curious note, someone sent me an electrically heated cat bed from Amazon.  I suspect someone on HHW but I have no idea who since there was no invoice with a gift message.  So, whoever you may be, thank you.

It wasn't me.

We too have received a good number of gifts from Amazon and had to guess who it came from.  I now know why it happens as I just sent a gift, not realizing I was sending it.  I had to go back in and change it from our address to the correct address.  I never saw the box to click it is a gift. 

I let our friends know to expect it (baby gift for their upcoming grandchild).  Once it arrived they said there was not a name in it at all.

[Jane]

Bruce the entryway looks very pretty.  I think you are going to be very happy living there.

CD ordered!

You know, the codeine is not making the pain of this two-hour meeting go away.

A very nice gesture.

On a positive note.  Carrie from The Animal Project came by to check out my apartment before they turn Thatch over to me.  I liked her very much, Annabelle did as well, and I passed with flying colors.

That is excellent to hear.  These places are so careful these days...which is a damned good thing.

Which reminds me:  If you need to provide any of these people with info on this household (name, address, cat-worthiness, name of local vet, etc.), just let me know.

Didn't it say to take a double dose for that?

I wish.

In 2013 when I was chugging Tylenol with codeine and muscle relaxers like candy, I was really constipated.  Drink lots of fluids.

Thank you. They warned me of that last night and I had forgotten it.

[Jrand73]

I think I will start calling myself Thatch!  It's a nice name.

[elmore3003]

I think I will start calling myself Thatch!  It's a nice name.

It suits you.

[KevinH]

Good evening!

[KevinH]

Sorry to hear that Brigadoon is sold out, DR elmore.   I got tickets a couple of weeks ago for Sunday night. All that was available at that time were balcony seats.

[KevinH]

On a positive note.  Carrie from The Animal Project came by to check out my apartment before they turn Thatch over to me.  I liked her very much, Annabelle did as well, and I passed with flying colors.

Congrats, DR elmore!

[KevinH]

Vibes your check arrives tomorrow, DR elmore!

[KevinH]

More health vibes for DR JohnG!

[KevinH]

What a miserable, rainy day.  I hope it didn't stop people from going to the polls. 

[KevinH]

Nice photo, BK!

[Jeanne]

Hello, everyone.

[KevinH]

I woke up , decided to clean out the fridge and load up the dishwasher and run that .  Took out the garbage.  Did a load of laundry and then realized it was not yet  5 am

You're amazing, DR vixmom!

[Jeanne]

Continued health vibes to John G, Jrand, Elmore, and anyone else who needs them.

I had what was supposed to be a brief, 15-minute dental consultation today. It turned out to be 2 hours. No drilling, but lots of talk, x-rays, and more talk. I knew there was a problem. I've been having trouble with my gums ever since I was sick last spring. It looks like I'll be spending a LOT of time at the dentist over the coming months--and you all know that that means lots of moolah, too. I'll also be having my first root canal. I've done all I could to avoid that, but life happens. I like my dentist, so that helps.
