Hi Barbara,
No you weren’t making anything worse. You spoke the truth!! You’re so right about how bad our healthcare is nowadays. Was that virus you spoke of the one people catch on cruise ships? Where they have to sanitize the whole ship?
I’m so sorry your dil to be is such a pill. She has no tact. Big hug.
That’s so sweet about your itty bitty kissing the phone. I;m glad Neal does that for you.
I hope your news is good news. We all could use good news these days, with all the horrible news we hear every day.

OK ladies, I’m gonna ask, are any of you gonna watch the royal wedding? You won’t have to get up nearly as early as we will out here. I think it’s 8 hrs difference between London & here in the NW. It starts at 4 AM here. Altho, weddings never get started on time that I ever heard of. By the time I get up it’ll be all over with. there are people out here that are so excited for them. I think Harry is so cute. He’s just himself. He’ll never see the throne so he can just be natural.
I can feel the cooler air coming in now. It’s already 20 degrees cooler from earlier today. Relief. I knew it wouldn’t last very long. this time of yr it doesn’t.
I better get off here for tonight. Take care.

Hi Ladies,
I hope everyone is fine. I’m fine. We’re having an early taste of summer this week. three days of 80 degrees now. actually mid 80s today.
We drop 30 degrees overnight tonight & rain returns. I had to start the AC today. It gets so stuffy & hot in here!!
Adele, I’m glad Gary’s back home. If he needs a bland diet for awhile, feed him oatmeal or cream of wheat. He’ll love that. LOL
Since when is bleeding normal? that doesn’t sound right to me, I hope he continues to recover. take care of yourself as well!!

Well, I’m still working on the rehab thing. They’re sending me paperwork to fill out to see if I qualify for financial help. I talked to the Dr. & even he thought that was expensive. I’ll keep ya posted.

Isn’t that something after 4 decades they finally caught that serial killer/rapist in Ca.!! And he was a former cop!!! When HLN started the series about him, I was hoping someone or something would lead the authorities to him. I wondered how he was able to cover up his deeds for as long as he did.
And today Bill Cosby found guilty was a surprise. I thought it’d be another hung jury, or found not guilty.
We lost another resident this week, altho I’m not sure who she was. I was told she’d had a heart valve replaced last week, & was doing well then a sudden turn & she passed away Monday. they don’t know what happened yet.
Well, that’s about all for now.
take care.

Hi Ladies,
It’s not looking good for me & the cardio rehab, & the insurance. It doesn’t look like they’re willing to work with me. I see the cardiologist tomorrow & I’ll see what he has to say about it.
Adele, did you use romaine lettuce in your salad? There’s been a national alert about romaine lettuce from Arizona. I heard they recalled it or destroyed it. Restaurants, etc, were told to throw out all their lettuce as there’s no way of knowing where it came from. People were getting sick all over the country.
Be sure to drink lots of water after your bad night. I’m sorry you had such a bad time! I hope Gary is better & will do what he’s supposed to do!!

Gail,
I’m sorry to hear about Brent. I don’t understand why the Dr. can’t come up with the right meds for him. I pray they come up with something real soon, so he won’t be in so much pain.
Well, it looks like we’re getting a taste of summer this week. The temps will be heading up into the low to mid 80s for a couple days or so, but cooler weather returns by the weekend. I hope you guys are having warmer weather where you are. It’s almost May for goodness sakes!!
I can’t wait to get the philosophy! the two new fragrances did sell out quickly. by the time I got up the next day they were already on the waitlist. Gail, I got a chuckle out of your story about being chased around a museum to find out what you were wearing.
Well, I guess that’s all for tonight..
Take care!

PS: If I’m pushing it, let me know. I’m sending pics of summer days hopefully ahead of us. lol

Hi Adele,
Glad to hear Gary is doing better. I thought he had a scare similar to this before & the Dr. told him to drink more water. I know I should. I wonder if he’ll do better this time??!
I do have an appt. with my cardiologist Tues., so I’ll be able to talk to him about the situation with the insurance. I’m getting ahold of the insurance guy tomorrow. I’ll keep ya posted.
I’m glad to hear Bobby will be going to talk to the owner. Honestly, I don’t believe they know about it. I just hope he won’t be hostile with them.
I guess that’s all for tonight.
Have a better week.
dd
PS: I ordered the Philosophy TSV the other day. I got the Fresh cream, & put in an order for coconut splash on the waitlist.

Hi Adele,
I wouldn’t be too quick to take your anger out on the take out place just yet. I doubt they knew/know they have tainted food. I would let them know what happened so they can take measures to correct it. I’d report it to the local health dept. so they know salmonella poisoning is out there. Gary probably isn’t the only case of it if many people eat at this place. If they did knowingly serve tainted fish, the health dept. should shut it down. When something like that happens around here, the local news will alert the public.
I HATE CLAMS!!!! I’ll eat shrimp, fish, but never clams. now I know why I don’t like em!!

I went to the cardio rehab on Friday. It looks like I may not be able to continue. Turns out I have to pay out $35 each time I go to the class, which is 2 o3 times a week. I can’t afford $70-105 per week till Aug.!!! so I’m gonna have to call the insurance guy & see what he can tell me. I thought when the Dr. puts you into something like that it was covered. It’s disheartening to think I won’t be able to attend the classes.

Spring has FINALLY ARRIVED out here!!! We got a beautiful week coming up. It’s supposed to get into the 70s & maybe the low 80s mid week!! All I have to say is It’s about time!! Maybe it’ll make its way out your way at long last. It’s a gorgeous day here today, clear blue sky, got the windows open to enjoy the fresh air. It’s nice to air out the apt.
Take care.

Hi Adele,
OMG!! I just read your post. I’m so very sorry to hear about Gary. I had a loved one pass out in the bathroom years ago. they got him to the hospital in the nick of time, too. His aorta ruptured & he went directly into surgery. I hope they find out what happened. I’ll be sending prayers for Gary, & you.
Colleen’s right. Take care of yourself!!!
Love & hugs from me, & licks & purrs from Jewell

Hi Ladies,
I want to thank you for your support on my new adventure. I’m gonna need it. I already know one thing they’ll insist on. Shop the perimeter of the grocery store. and avoid the can foods, or the middle of the store. My Dr. told me frozen vegs are okay. they aren’t as processed as the canned. Oh, and avoid any processed food like bacon, lunchmeat (sodium), hot dogs, etc. I’m gonna have a hard time with a lot of it. Esp. sweets, bread, sodas, (I’m a Pepsi-holic), CHOCOLATE!! I never had much of a sweet tooth till I hit my 40s. that could be when I quit smoking, but I’m not gonna start that again. I did get a couple cookbooks from the Q so I hope I can use them & substitute the heavy calorie stuff for healthier stuff. It’s the exercise part I’m really gonna have a hard time with. I’m so out of shape now. Not that I ever was, but when I was working, I got plenty of exercise cuz I was on my feet a lot & moving about.

I’m sorry everyone is having such bad weather this time of yr. I can’t believe you’re still getting blizzard conditions this late in the yr!! Our weather has been chilly for this month. We’ve had more rain than usual. But we’re in for some warm sunny days in the next few days!! We may actually see 70 next week!! Hopefully it’ll make its way out there.
Well, that’s about it for tonight.
Talk to ya later.
