"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

Hey McT - ah, that's lotsa little Billy Elliots! (a fave of mine)



Bosun - can you post some links about what's happening Down Under with the rain when you get a chance. Glad you're going for a dip - then "up 'em and at 'em" with the chores... and when you're done, there's a deck needs dancing upon! How's our babies? Do we have fruit? x



Missy - haahhhhhhh, you just know that Blue Fella is gonna be gritting his teeth

Hi mismi and Izzie, thanks for your support. Always ready for a tango Captain. Babies are doing well, jus a couple of lemons in the way of fruit, haven't noticed any oranges yet. Here is a link to the rain in northern Australia. http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/warrego-and-diamantina-rivers-flood-in-queensland/story-e6frea6u-1225836122854

i'm not well again - had a really bad night- my stomach is terrible - i went to work, walked in the door having stood outside for a while willing my tummy to settle , 2 of my teachers looked at me before I got a word out and said 'go home', burst into a blubbering wreck, called the doctor, grabbed a bunch of files to work on, drove home... now feeling horrible and waiting to hear back from the doc. Give me joint pains any day over this damned stomach crahp. I hate it. ah well - and so it goes. Going to do a little work that can't wait - then... I dunno... dammit dammit dammit.

Oh Izzie. I am so sorry. Can't wait until you talk to the dr. Thoughts and prayers dear friend.

((Izzie))

Phooey, Iz. So sorry to hear this. Stomach problems suck big time. I hope the doc can do something to help. Wish I could help.

I WANT YOU TO BE BETTER. You desoive better.

Holding your hand,as always!

So sorry to read about your stomach pains Izzie, hope the Dr. can do something for you, you don't need this. Sending you vibes. ((((Izzie))))

ahhhhhhh... thanku Baz for letting me howl down the phone - it actually feels better crying it out - gosh, just can't stop crying ...my neighbour came by coz she saw my car outside and knew I was meant to be at work - so I howled with her too

the doctor phoned back and said to start taking the other prescription that he gave me - this should stop the spasms tho taking this med will start another turn of events ha, Mis - so much for me trying to cut sugar - this new med is sugar based!!!!! - I see my rheumatologist at the hospital tomorrow morning and if things don't improve over the weekend I need to go back to the enterologist in the city on Monday. I need to work out what triggers these real bad days and nights... I ate some dried apricots last night - I thought that would be healthy. Obviously not. Gluten / wheat / dairy - how do I work out what I can and can't eat. Sheesh, I dislike food at the best of times.

I had a dream about R-boy last night (I actually dreamed) - I dreamed he came home and we were talking, we were going to look at furniture for his new flat, it was lovely. Of course, it was only a dream. I'm putting this here because this too is playing it's part with my head and what's going on - the doctor said I have to rest and not be stressed <tears again> - I'm a mess. A complete mess. I know this is gonna right itself as it always does - so, for now, I'm gonna lie down and I'll wake up feeling stronger. It's such a gorgeous day outside, huge blue skies and sunshine, I'll get outside for a bit after I've slept some.

Thanku Boida, Mis and BEAgle too...

feeling a little better now - it's actually not quite so sore. Phew.

((Izzie)) helps to get it all out don't it? I use to do that to my mom. Come home and cry all over her. Amazing how much better I felt afterwards. Take care hun.

I just had to go break up the dogs water outside because it was iced over. So crazy. I hate cold weather now. Yes, I know I wanted it to snow, but when the time comes - we must move on. No more snow or ice. NO MORE.

sure does! Help to get it out, that is.

((( Iz )))

The stuff you're churning on will find it's own outlet, hun. Bottling stuff up only ends up hurting in the long run. I'm so hoping that the rheumatologist has something that will help. Big gentle hugs from here. I've got the other hand.

We're going to see temps in the 40s today. And SUNSHINE!!!!

Bliss.

WOOHOO! Bask babeeeeeeee!

here too, gonna be nice

Sorry to hear you're feeling poorly, Iz. Hope the tummy improves and you can get out into the sunshine.

I'm off to work shortly but I managed a walk in the glorious sunshine yesterday. As JPB said "Bliss". Temperatures above freezing and no wind. Sidewalks like canals (meltwater running between snow banks ) but still great to be outdoors and soaking up some rays.

wanna call th captain..smeone pm me her no pls...

at the very least, please start a food and medicine diary immediately

EVERYTHING you take in orally must be recorded - I'd be horrified if they hadn't already directed you to do this

until you hear otherwise from them, try to stay within the BRAT diet guidelines - bananas (not too green), rice, applesauce, tea and toast (nothing whole grain or with bran - no high fibre at this point) - no milk in the tea til they've sorted you out better

no to the dried fruit, no to chocolates at this point, no to any type of nuts

This means you must avoid Tryagain, Izzie.

Sorry, I should have tried to stop myself. Seriously, Izzie, ehBeth's recommendations are important to follow. I hope you feel better soon.

izza...orried abt u..take good rest..i dnt knw wats wrong with my skype..though im online 24/7 in it...it shows im offline..any time ur free..just any time u feel like leav me a msg..no hurries nd no worries if u cant..jst informd u theres n easy way out to talk...now.. (((((izzir))))) u r cared for ..prayers always thr fr u..

Thanks crew

no worries...

well, I rested all afternoon and went in and out of sleep - for hours - picked the little fella up from the bus and have just eaten dinner... gosh, it's just so uncomfortable eating anything. Didn't manage to get outside - but our weather is supposed to be good over the weekend so I'm going to take the little fella up on the moors.

Beth - have started that diary and will do what you suggest (can't eat apples tho, never have been able to tho I do love Granny Smiths, they don't like me) - the doc hasn't said to do a diary tho that makes sense, but just to try and reduce dairy and carbs, bread and most of all...stress..thing is... I don't feel as tho I'm under any stress - not like I used to a couple years ago - maybe that's the problem tho - internalising it and not feeling it on the ourside - who knows. The pain/discomfort is at the top of my tummy, just like when I eat it just stays there - horrible, horrible feeling.

Anyhoo... I do feel better than this morning - I'm just uncomfortable.




no no jw, glad you didn't stop yourself - that did make me smile. Ha - I'd give up all the tea in china before the giving up the Blue Medicine... ha, Blue's like a little blue chill pill

<ha - awaits comments from the peanut gallery re little blue pills!>




there, must be feeling better, talking about keeping my chin up


gonna have a cuppa - peppermint <inserts bleughT emoticon>
