Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
That was heartbreaking about your dad aging "20 years in less than a day" - extra, extra prayers being sent your way!
Been thinking of you and your dad/family today. It always seems like after sleeping the first night (even if it's only sleeping for a short time) when the morning comes, it's a strange feeling.
Continued prayers -
I'm sorry that the doctor has told you something is wrong in regards to your mom's back x-rays wanting to see you in the morning instead of Monday. I know you're scared to find out what's wrong - I've been there too with my dad.
I'll pray that God will give you peace and strength to face tomorrow and whatever news the doctor has to tell you.
"Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you" 1 Peter 5:7
Thank you for answering me.
I have been there several times before... But I just can't get used to it. Some years ago, doctors thought she had a lung cancer and luckily it was not. Then with a suspected bowel infarction.
I shall not put a bandage on my head before breaking it as we say in Italy... But it is hard...
I hear you - I don't get used to it either. When we love and care about someone, it will ALWAYS be painful when we have to see them suffer or lose them - and that we know is inevitable.
I will be thinking of you and your mom tomorrow!
Thank you! I will let you know.
Un abbraccio (a hug in Italian).
Please do!
"Un abbraccio" to you too and I hope you are able to get some rest tonight.
Will you be needing reminders? To hydrate?
There is a product (do not know much), but it is maybe called 'liquid IV".
Hope you feel better soon 😊

I have rather good news: there are 2 vertebral fractures in my mom's spine... But they are old. Probably the doctor making the x-rays thought they were recent. I told him before he started that the reason we were there was to check the situation since 4 years ago my mom had spine fractures... We will now see a specialist for a cure to strengthen the bones and relieve the pain.
That's great news! But, gee they sure gave you a reason to be concerned by asking you to come in today instead of Monday - making it sound so urgent would upset anyone.
What a relief for the both of you and I hope the specialist is able to come up with something to strengthen her bones as well as relieve the pain.
Now, I hope the rest of your day you'll be able to breathe a little easier - you need to do something nice for yourself after that experience!
Take care - hugs to you!
I feel the same about salads....everything in moderation.
Actually, both fruits and salads do not like me. Last time I ate a peach, my mouth swelled up.
Feel better soon!
Have you had allergy tests done? Be careful. Systematic reactions are dangerous. Please have an allergy test done. You have to know what to avoid. You also have to be careful eating in restaurants.
Many years ago I almost died from a systematic reaction to my allergy shots. I ended up in the ER. They gave me steroids in an IV.
The symptoms were weird, itching inside my ears, a rash all over and my throat started to close up. I had a hard time breathing. The itching inside my ears was really an odd feeling.
My neighbor has a shellfish allergy and almost died eating seafood. If you started swelling, you must be allergic to it.
Family was shopping in Costco together, and my daughter-in-law just passed by the open fresh lobsters. I was the only one who thought her reaction was urgent, and got her some Benadryl.
My own issues are food sensitivity related to g.e.r.d. and g.i. sensitivity. In just 10-20 minutes after I eat most foods, there is one welt on my upper right back that itches. Not comfortable to say the least. But barbqued turkey would not cause it, if I ate just a little. Lol. (Not discounting that some treatment might be necessary for myself). Thanks NHWM!
So true. I see masks below the nose all of the time. What about the people who wear them hanging on one ear? LOL, I see that too!
But I wear the mask as best I can.
I prefer clean fresh air. I wear my mask under my nose unless I go near or pass by someone then I pull up my mask to protect them.
