thnaks for everything GG.. your the best :x

by shellbot

in the land of the living..
(a very muted "yay")

Without going into details, was in for a spot of surgery on monday..in and out my @rse..only out at lunch time today.
So, I'm delighted to be back home, but I'm on strict orders to do nothing..and to be honest, I don't want to do anything..

All I can say is thank god for drugs...I've tried a lot the past few days..all good.. :D
Sent me home with a batch as well..woo hoo..

ok..i go now, my sitting up time is done for now..

((((((((out of hospital hugs)))))))))))

by michael jay

So glad to have you back and hope you start feeling better soon, it will take a while.

((((((Back From Surgery and feeling like crap HUGS))))))

by nicknielsen

You don't need to be sitting up.

Been there, done that ((((hugs)))). (Probably not the surgery, but the doctor has been that route...ouch!)

by shellbot

Good morning ((((((((((hugs))))))))

Nasty sleep..nightmares and sweats most the night :( Then up at 4 when painkillers wore off..talked to the cat for a while...dozed off an on..

I've a mate coming for coffee in an hour or so..yay..I'm going to get him to bring me some cake. I am allowed cake aren't i??? I might even eat it for breakfast...mmmmmmmmmm...

< goes to lay back down..thinking happy 'cake for brekkie' thoughts..>

by jamesrl

I haven't had general surgery since I was a wee lad (13), but we kinda came close after the ankle broke. I feel your pain, I reacted badly to the anestetic too, tummy troubles.

Get better soon (and PM me with the gory details if you need to unload your burden).

James

by jck

(((((((((((((((((((((((( hugs ))))))))))))))))))))))))

p.s.- i know how you feel. i couldn't sit up for 2 weeks without pain. boo! lol

by shellbot

not fun..can't sit too great, can't lie flat (tummy mucsles go into spasm if i do..ouchy) and can't stand for long . think i still feeling after effects of the anasthetic..aparently i didn't react to great to it...

by gadgetgirl

but as it's Get Well Soon cake, you do realise you have to eat it ALL yourself, right?! :D

I really do think that as soon as you're well enough you should treat yourself to another pair of shoes as a reward.....

(then can I have your Kentucky shooozees, pweeeese?! :p )

:x

GG

by shellbot

brekkie cake is the best!!!!
hehehee

i think shoes would be a lovely reward for myself... :D
I just might run with that idea!!!

by shellbot

Hugs from my favorite little guy... :D
Thanks Murrf...you big sweetheart you!

(((((((big hugs for you!!))))))))

(when I all better and able to go out I will find you a likkle pressie cause your just my favorite!!)

by shellbot

cake is never allowed except for birthdays..dang diet :(
but seeing as how i'm being a brave girl during this whole thing...i've abaondoned the diet for this week.
to be honest not really hungry anyways, but allowing myself nice things instead of salad :)
I use the term brave loosley mind you...i cried like a baby to get them to allow me out of the hospital..not a good thing to do with abdominal stitches.. :(

by purpleskys

when we had Sarah...i was out of the hospital less than 24 hrs after she was born..."no, really Dr.X, i have all kinds of support...great husband, great neighbors, I'll be fine"...i think he just didn't wanna see me cry so he let me go home :D...take care of yourself and don't overdo :)

by jck

they put me under...surgery was only supposed to be about an hour...was over 2.

i was supposed to come out of sedation in about an hour...took over 3.

I told them "well hell, I haven't slept more than 2 hours a day in a week. i think i was probably tired." :^0

glad you're doing okay.

by shellbot

sounds like they had problems waking me up and my breathing wasn't too great..so was hooked up to all sorts of stuff when i did finally wake up..

blah..not fun

gonna go lie down though..get tired easy :(

laters...

by jck

the doctor was talking to me like i was listening to him. i remember about the last 30 seconds lol

yeah you get your rest. don't do too much like they told you.

((((((((((((((( get better hugs )))))))))))))))

by shellbot

i do remember 2 seconds..where it was like someone was yelling my name..but i was out cold..was 10 pm before i woke up and even then i was out of it still..
not nice..

by hal 9000

But it didn't last out the Friday Afternoon. Supposedly today I was supposed to at the very least get the Bog in the Fuel Tanks Shaped and then undercoat them. I had the entire day free till about 21.30 Hours Friday Night.

Then in under 15 minutes I got 2 nasty jobs that have just stripped any [b]Spare Time[/b] that I though I may have out the Window.

The first one was a girl who gave a [b]Borrowed[/b] NetBook a drink of Wine and something this was a week after giving her Note Book a Drink of Rum and OJ a week earlier. I foolishly thought that it had been 2 weeks but I was corrected today. Seems that I no longer know which week it is let alone which day. :(

Then I got lumbered with a Job to convert some VHS to DVD. I did try to get the person requesting this to do it and I even offered to give and Fit a Video Capture Card to her computer so she could do it. Unfortunately that didn't work and it's only been about 2 years since I have done this so I had to dig around and setup a system here to do it and then remember how to do it. At this rate I'll be ecstatic when 1965 finishes. X-(

But just so I wouldn't feel bad she sent her daughter over with a Samsung DVD/VHS Combo unit with the very descriptive description [i]it worked when I unplugged it and replaced it with a DVD Recorder but now it's not working.[/i] She neglected to mention that it was [b]Dead.[/b] OH well another item in [b]Silicon Heaven[/b] I suppose.

But the sum total is that I have not recorded the Videos to even a HDD, got around to even shutting the door under the house where the Ducati Tanks are. At the rate that I'm getting it painted I'll find a pile of Rust on the floor that used to be 2 Fuel Tanks.

OH BTW it's now 22.00 Hours and I'm just starting to look at my incoming E-Mail and I did promise [b]SWMBO[/b] that I would have a early night come what may. Well it was a Nice Idea while it lasted at least. :0

Col 0:-)

by purpleskys

with tunes no less...after surfing through the "Women in Rock and Roll" post, now i'm rifling through our music folder listening to a bit of this and that...currently stuck on my Mick Jaggar folder :D ((happy dancing hugs)) :)

by nicknielsen

With maybe one exception (Far Away Eyes), Stones ain't done nothin' good since Sticky Fingers. MO, of course. ;)

YMMV ((((hugs))))

and, natcherly, keep dancing ((((hugs))))

by purpleskys

yeah Nick, it's an old folder and some of it's Mick's stuff from Goddess In the Doorway (Goddess, visions of paradise, and god gave me everything with Lenny Kravitz)...others; wild horses, almost hear you sigh, evening gown to name a few

edit: poor spelling

by shellbot

(((((((((hugs))))))))

typical, cause i wasn't around, you guys went and did FNM :(

boooohooooo

by shellbot

I should probably go to bed...its weally weally late.. :(

((((((((((yawning hugs)))))))))

by nicknielsen

I wasn't as into the Stones as I was other groups, but I liked most of their stuff up through Sticky Fingers. Exile on Main Street had me shaking my head, Goat's Head Soup was a waste of vinyl, and it's been downhill [almost] ever since.

I think it's ironic that the best thing they've done in the last 35+ years was a tribute to a different musical genre.

Afterthought: "And of course, with the birth of the artist came the inevitable afterbirth... the critic." —Mel Brooks :D

by michael jay

it to them for hanging on so long, even though you may not find them so great many do and it is a testament to the band that they are still here after all these years.

by nicknielsen

I also understand that they love what they do and that's why they keep going. They just went in a different direction than my musical tastes.

by shellbot

i read the title...
i listened to the lyrics...

and i'm still wondering..all you calling me a cry baby?????? :(

If so..eh..yer probably right...you should have seen me in the hospital..i had to turn the waterworks on for like an hour to get them to agree to let me go home..

((((((((cry baby hugs))))))))

by shellbot

either your being very cryptic..or i'm being very braindead???
care to enlighten me, lol :D

by nicknielsen

It is, after all, a blues song. And I happened to be wearing a flannel shirt when I wrote that and we all know that a flannel-covered shoulder is the best kind to cry on...

Got it?

Tuscan veggie pizza for supper. Belly now full (((((hugs)))))

by shellbot

with all the qwiet, i got a good sleep...

even managed to be up long enough to cook grilled cheese sambo's for lunch today :D
now rest time though..soon..nap time...

by michael jay

but I still have a lot of respect for the band and their attitude, they are serious, and even if it does not fit my bill I remain impressed.

by purpleskys

(((wet, soggy, hoping to not blow away hugs))) ...it's just rotten here, windy, rainy, but at least it's warm out...have a happy day all :)

by purpleskys

so it would seem...but it seems to have started to clear up now and not as windy, but the temps are starting to drop; guess that's the trade off i'll have to take...i've spent the last two days doing nothing but tables in word '07, it's making my head hurt...in the last one, the instructions tell us to use the "formula" feature (which we haven't covered yet, but she told myself and one of the other girls to try it if we wanted)...the "boss" had to help me a bit with that one. Have a happy day...and don't overdo :)

by nicknielsen

(((cold, windy, and cloudy but at least it's not raining hugs)))

Weather.com says we're colder here than you are up there. That's just wrong...

by shellbot

i think i got it :)

my granny used to have flannel sheets..ah man i loved them in winter..all snuggly and warm..been trying to find some for a couple years here in ireland..doesn't seem to be something thats available..might have to surf the net for them...

thanks for the shoulder :)

((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))

by shellbot

BB&B don't ship outside US.. but LL Bean does, and its not terribly bad shipping costs.
Are thier products decent quality? Returns are not an option :)

by nicknielsen

I've been happy with everything I've ever purchased from LL Bean.

But the stuff don't last. The last jacket I bought from them wore out after only 12 years. ;)

by nicknielsen

I can't get any other posts to come up.

My room tonight is apparently THE dead zone. No wireless and even Verizon is in and out.

"Can you hear me now?"

No.

by jck

I was in around 1pm...went in the OR at about 2pm. Wasn't remembering anything til after 8pm.

And the pain...yuck.

by shellbot

Well, was schedualed to go back to work today..but thats not happening for a couple days yet methinks...
Gonna be a sorry looking paycheck this month :(

Anywho's..
Good Mornng Y'All :D

by shellbot

by nicknielsen

Figured out (finally ;) ) how to one-button the camera in the phone, so I took some pictures of what I usually see in a day's work. When I get a couple more, I'll send them to Sonja for inclusion in the TROLOV.

The start is here

(((((Great view, isn't it? hugs)))))

And yes, that's a crack in the windshield! :0 I haven't had enough time to stop and get the windshield replaced in the last couple months, and every time I do get it replaced, I get caught behind another farking gravel truck! X-(

by shellbot

(((((((((((picy hugs)))))))))))

gravel trucks..yup..i hear ya...not worth fixing until the dang thing falls out , cause ya just get a rock hittin ya as soon as ye fix it :)

Well...i decided to not take my painkillers last night before bed..so the last dose was at 6pm last night.. maybe not the smartest idea I've had...slept fine through the night, but dang am I feeling it this morning..i've now taken them and am gonna hit the sofa for a nap in a few mins

by purpleskys

by hal 9000

And I now only have 13 Surgical Procedures to move from VHS to DVD. I hate being so lazy that I put this off till it was needed at the end of the Month and I need to get it done along with the rest of the work.

Perhaps I should looked at one of the VHS Tapes and then I would have known that each one is over 5 hours long with 4 Procedures per tape. :_|

Now I fully understand why I avoid Medical Work. X-(

{{{{{{{{{{ [b]HUGS Everyone[/b] }}}}}}}}}}

I'll be a bit scarce around here for the next few days and I'll probably be having nightmares for years to come. ;)

by shellbot

:)

eh..Have fun with the medical tapes ...

tis quiet on here today... where everyone go??

(((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))

by purpleskys

busy day..pre-op this morning w/bloodwork and an electrocardiogram (finally got my surgery date; nov. 26); spend the rest of the morning doing a bake sale with my class (we dressed up for the day), had math class and then home(so home time was gobbled up by the little girl), grocery store, gas station, and finished my accounting assignment, so it's been a full day...hope everyone has had a good day :) ...(((slug girl hugs for all)))

by hal 9000

:p

So the Halo is required to show just how [b]NICE[/b] I am.

The guys wife turned up this [b]mourning[/b] with another 6 tapes and with a straight face asked would they be ready when her Hubby get home Saturday. [Maniacal Laughter]

But things are looking up I have 3 systems going capturing the VHS to the HDD and one doing some [b]Post Capture Cleaning.[/b] But this crappy Software actually shrinks the Converted file tot he size of a Single Layer DVD and leaves no room for the Partition Tables. Guess who's paying for Dual Layer Blanks to do the Initial Burn of the Masters? :^0

Perhaps you would like to watch these for me. the Bullet Wound Repair looks interesting. :p

Though the Hernia Repairs are not overly gory. :_|

Most of it is Laproscopic Type Surgery except for the Bullet Wound stuff. ;)

But I went out for a nice drive... ;)

Home now. Had to use the GPS to find it, been so long since I was there! :D

(((feet up watching Modern Marvels hugs)))

Had my Friday at work yesterday, so this is my second Friday this week! :D

Edit: I recommend two Fridays per week for us all. Works well for me! :p

You can't say stuff like that around me...

He just finished the fourth cycle. According to his last CT, the problems have all gone down to roughly 2 cm or so in all three locations. They will hit him again with a fifth cycle mid November and probably a sixth the first week of December as well.

Hoping to get in to see a cardiologist after the first of the year. That should be interesting.

His hair is trying to sneak back. Grey, but hair. The stash is still there- grey, but there. He has quit losing weight.

It begins to look like we might have won this round.

by nicknielsen

That is great news! Hope, for both of you, it continues to go that way.

Now some light humor...I've discovered I like my hair like this. :0 So much so that I notice when it starts getting long, then get it cut again. I've gotten more haircuts since my birthday than I did in the entire year before that! :^0

by tig2

A "Flowbee"

Seriously- an attachment on your vac and you have the style you seek. Saves a ton in barber visits!

He shaves (his face) every week or ten days. Boy will he be irritated when he actually has to pay attention to that again!

by santeewelding

Just maybe, the oncologists and everybody else you tell us about have screwed up in the right direction.

You hearten me with this.

Just happened, by the way, without correspondence, that I cut mine down to #2 after a lifetime of otherwise. Ain't never going back.

by tig2

He wants to shave it all and I am trying to keep him from doing that. The bits he has do serve to protect him and it also reduces the loss in other areas.

I can't let him as much as fill the bird feeders without a wooly. Way much colder here. Otherwise, I would just let it be.
