Alright!  It's finally Friday and we are supposed to get about an inch or two of snow today!  What a commotion, some schools have already closed and not a flake in sight, lol.  Ah, life in the South!  Good morning everybody!

Just another hamster on the dialysis W.O.F.
« Reply #22230 on: February 12, 2010, 12:32:30 PM »
    Good afternoon (or whatever it is wher you are) everyone   :waving;

     Had some intersting news this morning.  Hd to go see a surgeon about my right ankle.  I have a lession on the top of it, which my podistrist took a biopsy of last month.  The idea was to see the surgeon about possible repairing my ankle and removing the lssion.  Seems the lesision is Squamish Cell Skin Cancer.  Isn't that wonderful  :sarcasm;    Will have to mke aragnemtns to get it removed. and hopefully it has has not spred anywhere else.  Sofar there is no indication that it has.  The plan is to remove the lession and save the foot and lower leg if it can be done.  If not I might get new foot gear.  Who knows might walk better.   

      In nicer news, we are supose to get 1-4 inches of snow tonight.  My dialysis clinic is on a two hour delay for tomorrow.

Rob, I be saying lots of prayers that nothing has spread and surgery goes well.  Let us know when the surgery will be.   :cuddle;

We are getting the storm from Texas and like, FC, getting some snow tonight.   We are going to have a late spring this year.  We usually have trees budding and bulbs sprouting by now.  But, it can't be long, can it?  I love spring.    :rofl;

That is why I hate to say "what else could go wrong" because something else will go wrong.  You have such a great attitude.   :2thumbsup;   I just don't think too far ahead--get through today and worry about tomorrow, well, tomorrow!  I think your getting more snow than us.  What a crazy storm!  I would love to be at the beach. They are getting snow too and that would be fun to see.    Stay safe!   :cuddle;

We got about an inch or so of snow; just enough to be pretty, but not enough to be a real mess. 

Rob,  Lou had a squamous cell cancer removed from his neck.  He had it for quite a while before he finally got it taken care of.  It hadn't spread.  His dermatologist didn't seem too concerned about it.  He said it is very common for people who get to a certain age.  It has to do with sun exposure.

Rob,
Don't you just love it when docs take their sweet ass time to do something regarding your health and well being  :sarcasm;
 
I hope it hasn't spread so it would be a simple procedure for easy recovery.
 
Not much new here today, just sleeping late and knee hurting more. Very hard to get up and mve knee with out severe pain. Swelling hasn't gone down as it usually has from laying down.

At the end of dialysis the tech took my temp, twice.  He then informed me and the nurse that I was running a fever.  The nurse said that the machine temp was just set too high, no worries.  It is now 6 hours later and I still have a fever.  Dang, they did a good job warming my blood.  :rofl;

    Good afternoon (or whatever it is where ever you are) from dialysis, everyone.   :waving;

     Thanks for the comments, always helps.   :thx;  There are times when you thik, "now what?" when things happen and it is nice to know others care.   Really appreciate it.  After all, you all have enough problems of your own to be concerned about. I'll just to deal with it.

     Marg this was not a result of sun exposure but from a wound cuaed by my old crow walker boots. I had no idea if darn thing could do that. Well, learned something new, so not a total loss, huh?  :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;   I was a "vampire" untill dialysis.  Nocturnal in all my habits, work  :police:,   shopping (Walmart at 3 am is great!  :2thumbsup; ).  Never been a "sun worshiper".  So this was, to say the least, a surprise.  :o

      Chris, you are 100% correct.  :clap;  If they had dtermined why the darn thing was not healing up, then we may have realised it was now not just a wound. But, oh no, had to wait till it got the size of a quater.   :urcrazy; 

      On to better things.

      We got snow, real live snow!   :bandance; :bandance;  But 2.5 inches, this is snow?  ::)  Here it is a big deal, though, even if I'm use to more.    Saw local TV coverage this morning of snow on the palm trees in Willimington,NC. That was pretty, and different.

      Best news, my youngest gandson had a "procedure" to clear out an obstructed tear duct and infection in his sinsuses this mornig.  His mom called and he was ok and recovering well from the sedative used.    :2thumbsup; :2thumbsup;   As usual, seems anything dealing with his health bothers me a lot.    His brother gets to make a snowman, but he will have to wait till tomorrow, rest for him today if a 16 month old will cooperate with that.   :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

     There was a two hour delay at the center today, gut as I thought they called wanting me to come in "early" (not everyone could show up).  So, I got here at y usual time.  Very quiet, many empty chairs.  Got a good nurse (my favorite one,  :shy;  Dan the one I told you about), and good techs, and a terminal that "works" and lets me get on IHD.  So, it is going to be a good day , hope yours is too.

Watched a damm good game of rugby (stayed awake...miracle ) and I come on here to see that the usual suspects are still   :urcrazy;  :bandance;

Rob, this snow is so pretty. No ice.  Lots of big fluffy stuff.  4 of the grands made a 5 foot snowman!  Biggest one they have ever seen!   The sun is out and the snow will melt soon.  Just the perfect kind of snow--in one day and then out the next!       I googled crow boots and they are amazing.  They look very heavy. 

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.  All the events I was going to today were cancelled -- 3 basketball games and a play at the Middle School.   So, I will keep working on reupholstering my chair. 

I win!    :2thumbsup;

    Paris you're right best kind of snow and no ice. Don't like the ice.. :rofl; :rofl;

    The boots are heavy, 1.5 kg each. Difficult to walk in too. But when you get use to it, not too bad.

    Dan likes the old avatar.  Should I go back to it? Would like some opinions.  There are tim4s whenI feel like the hampster.... :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; I bet I'm not alone either... ::)

Yep! I just work, and work, and work.....

Would love to have a real vacation... :clap;

Anyway, Sorry about the news, Rob. I've been without a computer for a few days. But I now have access to my external brain again. It is all spiffed up, too. New complementary keyboard and top. Feels and looks great. New cable for the backlight so it doesn't go black on me!

Best of all, I'm back on IHD! Where everybody knows your name! (Well, nearly everybody!)

Rob, If you were old enough you'd remember a song by Jacqus Brel called Carrousel.  It might explain how many of us feel.  Use the aviatr you like, I just thing we need some Law and Order around here.  lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-ALPVoWa2Y

I don't know why they are laughing.  I think it is particularlly sad.  Perhaps they were younger too and didn't understand the nature of Jacque Brel?  I'll find another example.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d56R7EnBP3E&feature=related

This one says it.  I also think the hamster on a wheel is a little sad!

But Keep in the Jacque Brel mode, this next one says everything.  Doubt many of you remember the beautiful Johnny Mathis but here he is singing JB poetry.

skip the first one.  same song as 2 but it was a bit contrived.
