Goodness! I slept zero hours last night. It's cool and all to see our hotel is a very tall round tower, but you add some wind and rain whipping around that building and yous gets a LOT of noise. I'm now on the boat, about to have to turn my lifeline off and we pick the ONLY seats behind a family of 2 SCREAMING children and their obnoxious baby talking parents and grandparents.

Just got back from a PT appt. Does anyone else spend all their doctor's appointments laughing hysterically?

Used to . . . at the OBGYN of all places . . . but she left to become a lawyer. Now most doc appts end with me swearing.

It is quiet here. I'm just about done for the day at work, and then when I get home we resume the battle of wits with Riley. We think we're going to have to tether her, which we have not done since 2005. But she seems determined to get around, over, or under the gate. :(

I have six harnesses of various sizes and shapes in the car. We'll see.

J had a phone last school year that would call me during social studies class. I could listen in to the class. It never calls me so I can listen in on a party or a date. :angry:

You must do what you need to for her protection. Good that she hasn't gotten the other kitties to follow her.

Gads, I wish my butt would hang up on me.. . ......or not hang at ALL -- that and me boobs.. . . . ..<_<

Rah-shyellle's ferry adventures! :lol:

Quite the developments o'er here...... . . .with all that's been happening with me mom and life generally, I haven't mentioned here the adventure we've been having with our visiting mouse. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed mouse poop in the small cupboard where we keep the dog food and treats. My husband jumped at this challenge, and rigged up two old-fashioned mouse traps with Cheese Whiz, and we spent the first two nights waiting to hear the "SNAP!" of a direct hit. Nothing. Our little friend (and I just KNEW it was one mouse, somehow -- I even named him... . ....Gerald) was quite an admirable opponent.. . . .....each morning we were discovering the blob of cheese having been nibbled just around the edges, like he knew to avoid the middle part that would trigger the trap. I remain veritably impressed.

Then DH tried peanut butter, figuring that it was stickier and Gerald would have trouble pulling away if the metal trap was set off. During the next few nights, we heard the trap "SNAP" twice, and those nights I lay there thinking, "dear gawd........ . . ..I hope it got him right across the neck so that he has died instantly -- no flipping around for hours with the trap snapped across his nose"......

And both mornings, I found both traps snapped, most of the peanut butter gone, and NO MOUSE. This is one kick-ass, you-don't-know-who-you're-dealing-with little bloke. DH is getting more and more p!ssed off.

Over the last couple of days I have been imagining what has been happening to Gerald.... . . .... . indeed, if it is only him reaping these culinary delights, he's likely getting a bit chunky.

Last night, DH, exasperated and vowing that he will not let any silly little rodent get the best of him, slathered BOTH Cheese Whiz and PB on both traps, carefully set them, and placed them carefully on the cupboard floor, trembling with anticipation and the thrill of potential victory.

Well.... . . . we heard the "SNAP" just after midnight. "Ahhhhh..... . . I GOT him...... . I just KNOW it!!!".......DH whispered as we lay there.

This morning I opened the cupboard door, and honest to gawd, I saw THE most horrifically obese mouse one could ever imagine... . . . he looked like a big, furry tennis ball with a long tail. Good thing the trap got him across the back of the head, as his body had gotten so huge it would not have fit in the trap.

:blink:

:lol:

RIP, Gerald. Due to your enormity, I now know that it was you alone, the solitary renegade, carefully and cleverly avoiding the lethal trap for so long, and reaping all those spoils.. . . . . . ....

I guess there's a lesson there, somewhere. ........ . . . .... . . .poor, fat Gerald. . ....!

Poor Gerald - he died fat and happy! At least you know there are not more.

At M's summer nature day camp he attended for 6 years as a camper & 1 as a helper: They set big cage traps at night with lots of PB and pretzels or apples. They catch usually a racoon sometimes a possum. The kids all look at it & then M takes it into the woods & lets it go. They started getting the same raccoon (had a nick in his tail) every night no matter where they put the trap. He didn't hiss, just sat quietly until released. He seemed to enjoy the cuisine.

Sounds like he looked at it as a slight inconvenience for a midnight snack....

Methinks you actually caught Geraldine . . . a pregnant Geraldine . . . lucky you did before you had lots of little Geralds and Geraldines running about.

We had a mouse once when the kids were quite small and I was reluctant to put out a snap trap in fear of snapping toddler fingers or toes. I set out a humane trap (keeps them alive) before bed, announced to the kitchen as a whole "You have 24 hours to give yourself up or I WILL BUY a snap trap". He surrendered by the time I got up in the morning. Smackl (probably 2 1/2 at the time) and hubby escorted him out into the woods and released him.

Hmm.... .I need one 'o those set in my kitchen every night before bed, right by the fridge door.. . . perhaps then I wouldn't venture in there @ midnight. . . . ....my kids could let me out of the cage each morning.... . . .<_<

I wonder what it is about them? A few other things will give me digestive problems, but legumes are different. Different even from gluten.

There's a Weight Watchers recipe that uses black beans instead of (most of) the oil, er sumptin' like that. I'm sorry, but that just does NOT sound appealling. Black beans do NOT belong in desserts.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By KRipple · Posted

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
