All in all, Grog's problems seem to be fairly well
under control. A non-obstructive kidney stone is
not a big worry, and his blood leakage isn't enough
to be worrisome either. As for the vision sparks, I'm
not the only one on Tiki Central to have had them,
and whatever the cause they seem to fade away
after a while.
The sternum pain is mild enough that it reminds me
of the old story of the frontier scout out on the
western plains who came galloping into the fort one
day all bloody from a dozen arrows stuck into his
body. One of the younger cavalrymen asked him
"Does it hurt bad?" He replied "Only when I laugh."
Diarrhea is not always an indicator of gut trouble.
Ever since my youth I've been able to get it from
eating too much chocolate, which is easy to do by
cleaning up the trick or treat candy.
But what of Tiki Sand? When last she posted,
several weeks ago, she was talking of setbacks.
Since then, silence. Here's hoping and praying
that her recuperation is once again firmly on the
upward trail

GROG you mentioned a video of your naked twister debacle. Could you post the link if it's on U-Tube. Dan wants to see it.
Am I on your list of Blog subscribers? I ask because I never got any update notices.
I hope you have fun at cardiac rehab. While you have been recuperating I have been on a fat free diet to unclog my arteries. I found out I was high risk for a heart attack. I don't even get to eat the good fats. So it's raw fruits and vegetables. Good part is I've already lost 12 pounds!
The best vacation is the road to recovery. You go guy, Wendy

Grog (Ernie Keen) seems kind of flat in his heart
valve journal lately. In a try to pep him up again
I'm proposing that we all write up odd things we
did on Thanksgiving, in that addendum he has to
his heart valve journal. The URL is right above.
I'v already posted mine, about my Thanksgiving
Day jaunt to donate blood--yes, the blood bank
was open. Now, all who will, join in!

Kraken,
I didn't have any funny Thanksgiving stories for Ernie but thanks for the suggestion. I wrote him a message. I read his updates all the time and sometimes want to respond but can't!
Mahalo!

No horrid pictures, but I have been suffering from left hip bursitis for about 3 weeks. The first week was almost intolerable, now I am just in extreme pain when standing up and not so wonderful pain when walking. Not sleeping well...taking tons of Naprosyn...and cocktails when I make it out to a local restaurant. I look like an emperor penguin when walking...truly a sight!!!
And now back to our regularly scheduled illnesses, diseases and injuries...

VampiressRN I am so sorry to hear this. I swear by ice. I'd pack ice packs front and back. You can get used to them fast after a while and it will cut down the pain far better than heat packs can. I'm really having fun telling an RN how to treat herself but I've had enough pain to have learned this trick works. I hope you feel better soon, you don't deserve this.
I was at Marketplace with GROG. He can stand a tight hug now and looks great.
I also met Tiki Sand who has posted here. It was a delight to meet her.
Well wishes for everyone and a hope for Happy Holidays, Wendy

Glad to see the patients looking so well! Keep it going!
Vamp, I hope you're feeling lots better soon; that sounds just rotten & very undeserved.

My wish is for everyone to be surround by friends and family throughout the holidays and that your wishes for good health are granted. Cheers, Wendy

Had another basal cell carcinoma chunk carved from my forearm. I'm to the age where I'm paying for all those years I spent in the sun. Remember to wear sunscreen and see your dermatologist on a regular basis

Sorry Mike, we didn't do any beach tours on our vacation. We used sunscreen and wore hats. That sure looks like a big one. Wendy
