Ghoulie Azzatar challenge- do it or else!! (Page 7)

X1,000,000 or more. My hubyby's business partner is currently caring for his 30-ish year old wife who has stage 3 malignant melanoma. It doesn't just affect the patient. It affects the family, and anyone else who may depend on things being a-ok both at home and work. Wear the sunscreen. You wouldn't want to leave your future patients and/or research high and dry, would you?  

ceilidh - 2011-02-03 12:27 PM I just got a message from Ann's buddy. She had the ablation and is recovering nicely.
Keep sending the good ju-ju her way.

givemashot - 2011-02-02 11:16 PM I'm not sure i gave you guys the post-doc visit update yesterday, so...

I get to keep wearing the sling, the bone is healing nicely, the fragment hasn't moved (which means it won't unless I re-injure it). I can do more pasive range of motion, meaning I can use my other hand to move my arm, but can't move my right arm on its own. I can get in the pool, and let my arm float, but no reaching up over my head, and again no active motion. I can get on my trainer, or on an elliptical that has a stationary handle. I go back in 2 more weeks, for another xray, and maybe start some strength exercises at that time. I told him I have a tri in May. But it's only got a 300 yard swim in a pool, so...should be ok. If I'm up to raising my arm and pulling by then. Or maybe I'll just do sidestroke. On my uncoordinated side. LOL.

But the bad news is this....I fell going out into my garage last night. And I'm pretty sore today from it. I don't think I did anything too terrible to my arm, I mostly landed on my butt and left side and then slid down about 3 stairs...but it was enough to shake me up and give my hubby something to tease me about today at an open house at the high school.  SO, I'm a little sore today. So I didn't make it to the gym to try out the pool or elliptical. Maybe tomorrow afternoon or Friday. 

Oh, and guess what? Thursday (tomorrow) is our 15th wedding anniversary. Yay! Maybe my hubby wil take me out for steak, and cut it up for me so I can eat it. I am getting a little tired of pasta, LOL. 

 

disturbed275 - 2011-02-03 8:59 PM So, funny story from work today.  I may get banned from another forum. LOL

I was researching some glass joint clamps that I needed to buy and was trying to figure out what the different sizes meant.  So of course I was googling this and found a promising response in forum on a website that I thought was called glasscity.  So I read it, found my answer, but curiosity got the better of me and I continued to read the next couple of posts.  Well some guy started talking about how he was using these clamps to assemble his bong.  I did a double take and that's when I noticed I was actually at a website called grasscity and there was a little marijuana leaf logo at the top of the page.  I couldn't hit the back button fast enough!

Still waiting to hear from IT....

Good morning Ghoulies!

Did you miss me?

My friend who went to the hospital with me took me home to her house Thursday night where it is quiet, her and her boyfriend took care of me. They wouldn't let me do anything. I had my laptop, but I slept most of the day yesterday.

I did not have the ablation done. They did the E/P study but could not find what they were looking for. I am now getting a different heart monitor that I will wear for 3 weeks and we'll see what that one picks up.

 

I also have a confession to make. The first cardiologist cleared me for light activity, but I didn't do any because I was scared. I'm tired of being scared, and I'm tired of sitting in my recliner doing nothing. I have to take it easy this weekend, but starting next week I'm going to ease back into training. I didn't have all these heart problems when I was training, and I was a happier Ann. So there!

givemashot - 2011-02-04 11:54 AM Hi guys. I had a LOVELY evening with the hubby, we went back to a new local restaurant. I realllly enjjoyed it the first time we went, not as much this time. I made the mistake of thinking I could get away with not taking any ibuprofen or tylenol all day, and spending the afternoon sorting papers and doing some data entry, 2-handed. yeah. I finally was abe to relax after 800 mg of "vitamin I" and a half bottle of wine. *sigh* It was a lovely evening, with a wonderful visit with my hubby. We talked for hours! I gave him the down coat he ordered earlier this week, he gave me a pair of ruby earrings! Wow! 

I woke up this morning with my inured arm up over my head. OWIE. So if I'm a little quiet today, I'm here, I just can't type very well with one hand and I am losing all patience with myself.  Love you, gouhlies!
