Had Oliver to the vet this morning, and he is doing well. The bladder infection has cleared up, and his mobility is noticeably improved. Sugars were 7.9, which is good. The infection had him up around 18 or 19. He's lost a bit more weight, too, which is a good thing.

No snow here overnight. :)

. . . .. .....soon we may start seeing things like, "this post was typed by elye on laptop as she sat on the toilet", or "Dear gawd, you should see what elye is wearing as she posts this".... ..

Who knows how far it may go?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Suze- Hope you feel better soon!

Pieter- What is this good news of which you speak?

We did not get snaugh but my sis (15 minutes west) has the evil stuff sitting on her lawn. It is WAY too early for winter to start- we only had four weeks of summer here! Kurt and I are going to the mountains this weekend (tis our 5th anniversary!) to see the FOLIAGE and it is going to snaugh! Well, more hot tub time I guess!

OooOoOooh, thank gawd.. .. . . 'tis not a mandatory announcement.

I wonder if my kids have those little boxes on their bodies somewhere, for me to uncheck. No loud announcements at the grocery store, "Mom! You've got ELEVEN items! You can only have TEN!" or at our dentist's -- "Mom, you do NOT floss every night...... or even every WEEK"... . . .......

Hell, I should check DH's chest or top of his head, see if there is a magic edit box there somewhere...... ... ....no more "why are you wearing that?" or "trust me, you'd better talk now, while Em's takin' a breath". . . .....

:lol:

Good news about Oliver, POeter! Wow, I admire your dedication to his care - - a diabetic pet on insulin must be quite a job. :)

It is WAY too early for winter to start- we only had four weeks of summer here!

Us, too! :angry:

I think I edited my post while you were posting, Bev.

POeter, do you use your tester to test Oliver's blood? His own lancet, of course.... . ...do you take it from the pads of his feet? I assume that would be the easiest place. I could draw blood from Bryce's paw, our big, male orange tabby who is incredibly laid back. Tess, howevah... . . . ....well, think I'd just be guessing at what her blood sugars would be... . . . ... <_<:rolleyes:

Since my blood glucose meter has a memory, I don't want to mess up the history. Oliver has his own meter with its own memory. They are the same brand, but different models, so the test strips are the same.

We get blood from his ear, near the edge. There is a blood vessel there that is fairly easy to find. That's where Janice (our vet) showed us to get it, but I expect the paw pads would work, too.

Sorry about your dog, Peter. I am diabetic, too, and my last A1C was 7.6. So, I'm kinda like your dog. Do the numbers translate equally between humans and dogs?

OMG! My husband got laid-off today! Starting Mon. Oct.19. I had a mamogram sceduled for Mon. Oct 19 at 4:00. Our health insurance is also terminated Mon, Oct 19. I called, and got an emergency mamo today. They had to putt a little peice of wire over the scar from my breast biopsy that I had a year ago. OMG! I'm one of the many uninsured Americans with health problems. I'm skeered! I also had blood work dx. Couldn't do it that fast.

I thaught I was poor before

I thaught I could pass gass fom my silli ass

I think I can take this rotten situation onto new heights of creation

I will become healthier stealthier, and wealthier

I will not only phart, but will also make art

I will write a short novel

about living in a hovel

I'll still be poor

BUT I'LL STILL PASS GASS FROM MY SILLY ASS

And this time I will make being poor an art form!

But, I will never conform.

The actual Susan.

Oh, Sleuzhann........I am so sorry to hear this. . ..... .. :(

Ah, man.. .. ....... . .it's just heart-wrenching to hear of Americans with no health insurance, or with insurance but suddenly no coverage due to "pre-existing conditions".. . . ....... :angry::angry:

C'mon up here. . . . . . .....there can be something of a wait, but I was in for my free mammogram, bone scan test, x rays and full blood work two weeks from when I called. My sister is having arthroscopic surgery next week, a month after she got her referral. The cost will be whatever the parking lot charges her to have her car there overnight....

Yes, c'mon up here!

Um, Oliver is doing well, but he is not a dog.

Sorry about yer sich-e-ation Slooz. Chin up, and hang in there. When one door closes, often many doors are open. You need to find them and pick a good one (I'll take door number 3 Montey). Pseriously, better opportunities are in the offing.

Pah-tayyy! Wunnerphul news! Bet you're so excited! We need details, details....right down to how much you sweat moving stuff in! :P

Coooold, rainy, yuk around here lately. Of course, it coincides with many area activities (outdoors, of course). At least its not snaughing (ssshhhhhh) Hoping for better temperatures very soon!

Wow! 16 months :o Ours took 4 but they finished a bit ahead of schedule. I'm looking forward to having all of my "stuff" back and finally being settled. We had only lived in our last house for 14 months, and had just about got settled and finished with what we wanted to do there when this all happened.

Pah-tayyy! Wunnerphul news! Bet you're so excited! We need details, details....right down to how much you sweat moving stuff in! :P

We took two loads over in the car last night--and plan to take more over the weekend. It's kind of nice to work with smaller amounts of stuff at a time--much more manageable. Next weekend, they will move the furniture from the apartment over and we can actually begin living there. :P The rest of the things that are in storage to follow after that.

We did get just about perfect weather--it had been hot and humid (low 90's and oppressively humid) all the way up to yesterday. It was gorgeous for the closing--sunny and 79. Today and tomorrow to be even cooler and sunny :D Just delightful :D

........I believe Jack used Sophie's hairbrush. <_<

Phunny story (or pathetic, depending how ya look at it :lol: )......I'm busily cleaning out the kitchen, tossing out old papers, getting a donation pile ready--all that phun stuff when I come across a bottle of my old phriend--Boylan Cane Cola :wub: in the back of the fridge.

I have been pretty phlawless in staying away from rephined sugar since the beginning of August and have reaped many benefits. I don't crave it, and phrankly don't think about it much--until I was phaced wif the ice cold lucious looking bottle staring me right in the phace :rolleyes:

No way could I just pour it out (just couldn't :o )......coulda asked Mark to drink it up, I suppose...... :unsure: ...I opened it up and was just gonna take a few sips and now I've polished off just about the whole thing :P It's actually helping my packing efforts--between the caffeine and the sugar I'm making record time here :D

This was the last of it--when it's gone, it's gone. ;)

Sugar is a bit like riding a bike :lol::lol::lol:

Nik! Yer still feelin' like crap. ...... .. ... :( Lordy. ....'tisn't swiney, now , is it? :unsure: That is the one thing I keep hearing, repeatedly and across the board, about H1N1 -- it isn't necessarily any more serious than other seasonal flus, but when it descends upon you, it stays. And stays. And stays.

Alzy CANNOT be seventeen!! :o:o There is no way......yesterday he was a little guy goin' to Disney World. . . ........unbelievable!

Patteigh's Boylan Cane Cola :lol: .. . . . 'tis yer weak spot. .. . . ......

Yep. Ya nevah forget. Even as a diabetic. . . ....... :rolleyes:B)

Potty - congrats on the new house. When we moved to Ohio, we moved into our first brand new house. Our funiture didn't come for 3 days, and we could have stayed in a motel on the company's dime but baught some bedding and slept on the floor! We were so excited! It's a good feeling.

Sorry, Peter, that I turned your cat into a dog. God, I have magical powers!

And thanks to all of you for commiserating on John's job loss. I know that if he finds a job, we'll both be better off, cause he really hated that job, but it was a job. We have high unemployment here and he's no spring chick, so it's scary. The thing that p's me off is that he was there 4 years and our renter has only been there 6 weeks, and he didn't get laid off! A bunch got the pink slip, including a guy that has been there for 23 years. Needless to say, this causes a problem for me. And, the renter has paid late 6 of the 7 minths he's lived there and calls off all the time. John never missed work. I just don't get it. :unsure:

What can I say. Onward and Upward, I guess. :D

S

ps...Nick, get better and Iam... are you diabetic?

      Test Results

      By breadbreadbaby · Posted

      Hi everyone! Thanks so much for your feedback on my post. Here’s the updated information: IgA 0.98 (Range 0.80 - 4.90) Tissue transglutaminase IgA Ab 45.4 (<=14.99 U/mL, Positive >=15.0 U/mL)

      Chronic mildly elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac diagnosis but it took thirteen years to ferret that out and by that time I had developed osteopenia.  Yes, you've got a lot going on there in the way of autoimmune disorders and all of them we now know have a connection with celiac disease. It is true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. But it sounds like you are getting medical attention and keeping an eye on things.

      Thank you! Yes, I have celiac disease, lupus and Sjögrens. My ALT and AST have been chronically slightly elevated for a couple years and recently had an acute kidney injury (thinking it was from an antibiotic) with increased Lipase. So my primary doctor referred me to a kidney specialist. Other kidney labs are normal.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      My test results for TissueTransglutaminase IgA Antibody test came back normal. Like spot on normal. I do not have celiac! My problems are stemming from this H Pylori infection. I think I’ve had it for years. We’ll see if the doctor wants to do an endoscopy to see how extensive the damage is. Otherwise just a regimen of antibiotics will do the trick. The thanks for your guys’s help!

      Reaction to gluten or gastro bug?

      By Beck1430 · Posted

      Thank you both so much for taking the time to reply.    Cristiana - yes the rashes seemed to resolve when he came off gluten too. I haven’t seen those pictures before, thanks for pointing me to them. I’d say his rash isn’t like the more severe photos which are scabbed and very bumpy. His rash is more like lots and lots of patches of eczema than spots. No we have no celiac in the family to my knowledge, though my mum and sister both have autoimmune diseases and wheat sensitivity. I think you’re right and I’ll have to do another trial to confirm if it was the wheat. I’ve been hoping all day that I come down with the bug to rule out the wheat reaction! But the rest of the family are absolutely fine.    Trents - thank you for the info regarding the genes. That’s very interesting and I’d definitely consider doing that as a way to rule it out without putting him back on wheat. I also didn’t know celiacs were commonly intolerant to dairy and soy. I think you’re right and there is definitely enough factors to show something is going on. I think I’ll do a repeat trial of the wheat challenge and if he reacts again I shall look into the genetic testing.    Thank you both so much for your time. Becky
