Alex, I don't think it's weird or creepy at all. In fact, it is a FANTASTIC idea that just fits the situation so well - - she was a big part of your life at a very difficult time, she became, it sounds, like a second mom to you for a while, she collects Royal Doultons, and you happen to have one that was your mom's.........sounds perfect. Yes, there will be many happy tears, I am certain!! :):)

Let us know how it goes......

gads. If people don't shut up about how incredibly sweet it is, you're gonna have a room full of sniffly sillies...

Popping in to tell you all that I spent the day at one of the least likely places a Celiac would go to.

An all day beer fest!

I, of course, was not drinking, and was the coolest DD to my husband and friends.

I refused to touch anything in the whole place!!!! But, a beautiful day and a lot of fun, even for the sober girl ;). Can't say sober about the guys though!!

Sillies I am so pooped! I am barely keeping my eyes open to type this. The BBQ was great, I ended up returning once Landen arrived. My coworkers fell in love with him. he was very well behaved. I was a little worried since we are cutting teeth right now so he is not himself. He was great though :) I think I am going to hit the hay for the night. Bye Sillies

Morning, Sillies!

Well, it's just Jack and I for the next three days...DH took off this morning for a meeting in Toronto, and is carting along DD and two of her girlfriends. They will be set loose on the downtown streets of the megacity, doing teenaged-girl stuff. :rolleyes:B)

Sophie called me about a half-hour ago - - they'd been gone twenty minutes. She had suddenly barfed out her window, all down the side of the car. A few miles later, she got out and threw up again at the side of the 416 highway. In between the barfs, she had taken a Gravol, but it came up. So she's taken a second one. This child never gets carsick....I'm hoping it was the four bowls of strawberries she ate last night. :huh:

We shall see. So sorry I jammed out of that trip.......

Lisa! Fan-f*ckin'-tastic artwork! :lol:

Hmmmm....too bad there isn't a Vomitguy Emoticon for this post......

.......//

:o //

Wow....that's pretty projectile....... :lol:

Poor Sophie....hope the pukies were just a one time thing and she'll be able to enjoy the rest of her trip :)

Guys,

I saw the most heinous, vile display this morning on the Today Show.....a woman was standing in the crowd, holding a little dog in her arms, partially covered with a blanket. She was telling the host how the poor dog has only one eye, is missing a leg and has skin cancer. She went on to say that the vets have given him about 9 months. :(

Here's the part that made me turn off the TV in disgust.....this woman is carting this poor creature around, entering him in The Ugliest Dog in America contest. <_<<_<<_<

She mentioned how, at one point in the competition, he fell asleep.....gee, ya think?????

This has been bugging me all morning.....I'm thinking of emailing the show.

I know it's Sunday and all but what in hell is the matter with some people?

Thanks for all of the input about the gift thingy everyone! It sounds very unanimous that it won't come across as creepy in anyway. I think I may write a note to go with it so that she can know exactly how I feel and why I want her to have it in case I get too nervous or emotional to say everything I want to. I really do think it is a great opportunity to thank her for her profoundly comforting presence in my life at that time but I just feel a little nervous about it for some reason.

Poor Sophie....hope the pukies were just a one time thing and she'll be able to enjoy the rest of her trip :)

Yes, that doesn't sound like a very fun start to her summer vacation!

Poor pup!!! :(:angry: A dying pet should be treated with reverence and love. We treated our doggie like a prince when we knew his time was limited (not that we didn't treat him well before). We made a soft pillow bed by the fireplace and cooked him healthy meals and invited our neighbours and their dogs to come spend time with him to keep his spirits up. Your pet lives his life for you and to disrespect him and the end when he needs you most is despicable.

Hallo Psillies!!!!!!!!!!!! SusieQ- Love your Kissey avatar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's beautiful!

This is just a quick drive-by poop-in! I am exhausted.....Went to NYC Thursday, ended up staying overnight (long story but kinda fun- New York is crazy but so much to see!). Got home late Friday and by Saturday afternoon my arm was in flames and had to have PICC line immediately removed. It was a relief as I was ready to do it myself. Arm was so itchy and yucky. It's much better today but I expect after all this excitement, I will sleep for days.

Hope everyone is well- what did I miss????????????? Cannot go back :ph34r: :ph34r:

I had the exact same thoughts as you when I saw it. I literally couldn't believe my ears as she was talking and the newsman who had been interviewing her looked uneasy, too.

Hi Bev!!!! :D Yep--love NYC!! It must be so nice to be disconnected from the PICC line! Is that it, or will you have to have it re-done at some point?

Speaking of pets and their negligent parents.... :ph34r:

I just caught Allo, who seems to have a new lease on life lately, (I think in part due to his joint suppliments) trying to off himself by sticking his whole upper body in a plastic bag... :o

We just got back from shopping, and I put a bag from Linens & Things on the dining room floor whilst putting away groceries. I hear something, and see the palooka trying to curl up inside this bag! Gawd :rolleyes:

This is SO nice, Alex! :)

Man, I guess I should be treating my dad more like this....putting him beside the fireplace, cooking really healthy meals for him, letting the neighboUrs in to visit more.... :rolleyes:

...After all, he is about 15 in dog years.......

:unsure: Patti, I don't get it either......short exam on a stick? something-cicle? what? does it have to do with pizzles? :lol:

I, of course, was not drinking, and was the coolest DD to my husband and friends.

:lol: gawd

I stared at this "DD" for a full 10 seconds before I figured out it meant Designated Driver......I really thought, when I first looked at it and was not computing, that Miss Laura was bragging about her.......cup size. :lol:

NYC is crazy! I don't know about the PICC line......we are going to do oral for the summer and if we don't like what happens, back to IV in the fall. I'm having a lot of regret....not that I had a choice but I'm terrified that the 12 weeks I was about to do would have been what kicked the beast. I've been on the verge of tears all afternoon. :( :(

Don't have regret, you might make just as much progress on orals as you did IV. :)

Me, too .... I kept thinking it was "dear daughter" and wondered how she became her husband's daughter for the afternoon. :blink:

My apologies for the confusion over "DD," but I am happy the mystery has been solved. ;) It gave me a very good laugh this afternoon though!

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By Cathijean90 · Posted

      I’ve just learned that I had been diagnosed with celiac and didn’t even know. I found it on paperwork from 15 years ago. No idea how this was missed by every doctor I’ve seen after the fact. I’m sitting here in tears because I have really awful symptoms that have been pushed off for years onto other medical conditions. My teeth are now ruined from vomiting, I have horrible rashes on my hands, I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’m always in pain, I haven’t had a period in about 8-9 months. I’m so scared. I have children and I saw it can cause cancer, infertility, heart and liver problems😭 I’ve been in my room crying for the last 20minutes praying. This going untreated for so long has me feeling like I’m ruined and it’s going to take me away from my babies. I found this site googling and I don’t know really what has me posting this besides wanting to hear from others that went a long time with symptoms but still didn’t know to quit gluten. I’m quitting today, I won’t touch gluten ever again and I’m making an appointment somewhere to get checked for everything that could be damaged. Is this an automatic sentence for cancer and heart/liver damage after all these symptoms and years? Is there still a good chance that quitting gluten and being proactive from here on out that I’ll be okay? That I could still heal myself and possibly have more children? Has anyone had it left untreated for this amount of time and not had cancer, heart, fertility issues or liver problems that couldn’t be fixed? I’m sure I sound insane but my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t wanna die 😭 I don’t want something taking me from my babies. I’d gladly take anyone’s advice or hear your story of how long you had it before being diagnosed and if you’re still okay?

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.

      diagnostic testing variance

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.

      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.
