She'd be a natural, but in her role-playing you'd have to tell her it was the boiler :ph34r: not the washer.

When I first joined the psillies and wanted to hear the story of Jess and BE I read the thread from the start of their relationship. I really have to get a life (other than going to doctor's offices)! Hey, at least today's doctor's appointment is just for eyeglasses - no poking and prodding. Tomorrow is the follow-up with the Oncologist and Friday the Neurologist. Get new shots in my spine next week and the following week I see the cardiologist (where he will give me a drug to stimulate a stress test) and finally my PCP and then it looks like April is free and clear- YAY!!!!! Now Clark just needs a job. No word from the place he interviewed

Good luck! Keep us posted! Hub paid our $5 to have Internet service here, so I hope you have something good to report!

You know they charge Hay-Nuss fees for suitcases over the weight limit . . . Lisa, I know you've lost a lot a weight but I'm guessing you're not under 50 pounds.

Are you sure you're not talking about my Tony?

Is Tony a 10 year old smarty-pants girl with curly blonde hair and glasses?

No Tony is a 19 year old college freshman who should be doing his own laundry by now. If I had it all to do over again .... (right Kareennggg???)

Happy St. Patty's to all my psillies!

Update: Went to the oncologist and got good news. I'm in the "watch and wait" stage of CLL and might be around 30 years to annoy everyone (especially Clark). I have to have some CT Scans to rule out anything that might have been missed but now I see her every 3 months to see how my white cel count is. If there are any drastic changes then I need to start talking about therapy and have the bone marrow aspiration and biopsy for a baseline. I really like her. She made a point of saying that she is never offended if a patient wants a second opinion and is happy to recommend a doctor if I want or I can look on my own. Tomorrow I see the Neurologist for his findings and next week I get the needles in my back again (this time using an Xray instead of trigger points) and then I have a stress test at the cardiologist induced by a drug as I can't handle a treadmill, etc right now.

Already had me cornbeef and cabbage at the Irish Deli. I bought 6 portions as a takeout treat instead of making my own.

I hope you all know how much I appreciate the support and kindness - can't imagine life before the forum (especially the psillies).

Love,

I'm willing to be annoyed by you for 30 years or so. :) I'm glad you're keeping us updated, I've been waiting for your good news.

Oh Loughie!!!!! This is such good news! (((gigantic hug)))

I've been waitin' too--thanks for letting us know ;)

But is it cheaper than a seat? :P

YAY!!!!

My CT scan showed small, benign lymph nodes. Small meaning less than 1 1/2 cm. Now at 6 weeks and still swollen, though. I have another appointment in 2 weeks.

I've gotta feeling that no matter how many tests, they're gonna tell me I'm fine <_<

I think it's starting to be about the same :unsure: Pretty soon you will have to buy a seat for your suitcase :lol:

Yay on the benign lymph nodes :D But boo on their continuing existence....

I'll be sending positive energy that your swelling goes down and the docs have a reason to tell you your fine!!!!!

Ladies in a Sauna

THREE WOMEN, TWO YOUNGER
, AND ONE SENIOR CITIZEN, WERE SITTING NAKED IN A SAUNA.

SUDDENLY THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND. THE YOUNG WOMAN PRESSED HER FOREARM AND THE BEEP STOPPED.

THE OTHERS LOOKED AT HER QUESTIONINGLY. 'THAT WAS MY PAGER,' SHE SAID. I HAVE A MICROCHIP UNDER THE SKIN OF MY ARM.

A FEW MINUTES LATER, A PHONE RANG. THE SECOND YOUNG WOMAN LIFTED HER PALM TO HER EAR.

WHEN SHE FINISHED
TALKING
, SHE EXPLAINED,
"
THAT WAS MY MOBILE PHONE. I HAVE A MICROCHIP IN MY HAND.
"

THE OLDER WOMAN FELT VERY LOW -TECH.
BUT
NOT TO BE OUT DONE, SHE DECIDED SHE HAD TO DO SOMETHING JUST AS IMPRESSIVE. SHE STEPPED OUT OF THE SAUNA AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM.

SHE RETURNED WITH A PIECE OF TOILET PAPER HANGING FROM HER REAR END.

THE OTHERS RAISED THEIR EYEBROWS AND STARED AT HER.

THE OLDER WOMAN FINALLY SAID:
WELL, WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT.......I'M GETTING A

FAX!!

Good!!! . . . It was time for you to get some good news!! . . . Glad you like your oncologist.

My CT scan showed small, benign lymph nodes.

Good for you too . . . although, time for you to get rid of the swelling. Maybe things will improve now that the weather is finally turning around. Not sure why that would help, but it just seems like we all need an airing out and get some fresh air in our schools houses offices lungs.

      I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (LC) for quite a few years, so I have been gluten-free and DF.  I would like to get tested for Celiac Disease because of the possibility of cross contamination and colon cancer.  And if you were hospitalized and didn't have a celiac diagnosis you could not get gluten-free food, I don't know if that is true or not.  Also because there is chance of colon cancer so I want to know if I have Celiac Disease and need to be on very restrictive diet.  The only testing I did was a sigmoid scope and Enter Lab but no gene testing.  I know I can go back to eating gluten for a few months, but I would worry you would have to stay home for the few months while getting gluten.  What other options do I have?  Should I do the gene testing?  Maybe through Entero Lab?  Any other tests?  How important is it to have Celiac diagnosed? Thank you! Barb

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.
    • Mynx
      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others. 
    • Mynx
      The reason that it triggers your dermatitis herpetiformis but not your celiac disease is because you aren't completely intolerant to gluten. The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate a some gluten or cross contamination. It just depends on the sensitivity of the gene. 
    • trents
      @Mynx, you say, "The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process. Unfortunately, the liquid ie vinegar is cross contaminated because the gluten protein had been in the liquid prior to distillation process." I guess I misunderstand what you are trying to say but the statements in those two sentences seem to contradict one another.
