Oh mALX, it’s great to hear from you!! You have my continued wishes for the best. Please rest and take care of yourself!!

Thank you so much Grits !!!

Are you resting? You had better be resting! Do you need another pillow? Some juice? The remote control?

(No one hovers like a worried dachshund.)

Welcome back, my friend!

How sweet you are! I actually have been - laying down for nearly a week now, and too sick to go stir crazy from it. Thank you so much Treydog !!



Thank you Acadian, and thank you for posting for me when I first got puny. I appreciated you doing that, because I couldn't. I got up for a couple hours this morning and tried to catch up on some of the reading and correspondence - didn't last long, lol.

Thank you Everyone for your well wishes, they meant a lot to me !!

It's so nice that you are feeling better. Luck on the CT scan

Thank you KC, I appreciate that a lot !!

What they said. Get better, don't do too much, and remember that you're still ill so can get someone else to bring tea/coffee/juice. Hope the CT scan shows the right thing.

My dear mALX - once again I shall put on my veterinary hat.

TAKE THE DAMN PILLS!!!

Scientific studies (and my own clinical experience) have proven that pain DELAYS healing by increasing stress levels. High levels of cortisol in the body are inimical to healing. You are not being brave or courageous by not taking the pain medications, you are just being a damn fool and causing yourself unnecessary suffering.

If you don't like the side effects of this particular prescription, go back to your doctor and get a different one!

BUT TAKE THE DAMN PILLS!

I promise you things will be back to normal much faster if you do.

*removes veterinary hat*

Good to see you back, but DON'T OVERDO IT!!!

Take hautee's advice mALX, and take the pills...

...unless you want Dr. Greg House on your doorstep with complete camera crew ready to show the world you do not have TB.

Seriously, though, just take the pills. There's a reason such medication exists. I don't want you to have to receive your CT scans back in a black bag.

WOO HOO !!!!! Who doesn't want to see House on their doorstep? WOOOOOOT !!!!!



@ Haute -



This damn fool thanks you! Woof !!

I'm glad you're feeling better ♥ ANd yes, you should take the pills if you need them. I'm always on my mom about this too, so I will join the chorus and say take your medicine And rest up and don't over do it ♥



Wrothken. Because they share a last name, everyone always asks him if he watches the show. He gets so mad! Of course I ask him every so often to bug him

Back from a road trip to Washington, DC. Whew, that was fast. But fun!

The only time I visited DC with my parents, it was 90 degrees out with >75% humidity.

It was not fun, despite the cool things we did.

Welcome back, Grits! Are the cherry blossoms still in bloom? Dogwoods? Bradford pear?

WOO HOO! Grits !!! She's baaaaack !!!

TK, sounds like a crisp autumn day in DC! It’s amazing how a place can be so hot most of the year, then so bitter cold in the winter.

Acadian, the cherry blossoms were in full glory, along with dogwoods, redbud, and magnolia! Hyacinths and pansies in the Haupt garden, it smelled great. Some of the mall is fenced off, so the grass is very green right now. Tiny leaves on the big trees, looked like a pale green mist.

mALX, YAY it looks like you're feeling better? And getting plenty of rest I hope, drink your fluids, etc. Can't wait to catch up on the action, but I’m going to crash now, good night!!

Not yet, but hopefully getting there, lol. Thanks.

I’m headed out to the desert later this week, yay. But some things have caused me concern.

1. I’m flying Southwest. They keep finding holes in their planes. Are they big holes? Should I bring extra gum?

2. The rental agent sent a friendly email with details about the house, including some things that he hoped wouldn’t kill us, and I quote: “Please be aware of rattlesnakes, javelinas, gila lizards, bees, and cactus.”

BEES?If after rattlesnakes he still mentioned bees, I bet they’re angry bees. And what the hell is a javelina?

I was bemoaning the above critter list, and Mr. Grits (who is not coming with us) reminded me about mice carrying hantavirus. Great!

3. There was also some vaguely threatening remark in the email about not touching the pool valves EVER!!! What is a pool valve? Why would I want to touch it, is it cuddly? And what’s the bad thing that will happen? Now I want to know.

So hopefully I’ll be back Monday!
