That's a very long time, I'm glad you are doing better, along with the flu. I hope you never have to go through that again.

ohh trust me, I'm used on the stomatch issues.
I get them once per year. Same with a normal seasonal flu.
Its just the first time I get a bad case of influenza.

I normally get one between September and October, and then maybe one more in the winter or spring.

I haven't had one since December of 2014. Trying to keep it going...

whats wrong with it?

We could book the excursions straight off but the check in for boarding etc wasn't appearing. We were up from 4am trying and Mrs Ferret managed to sort it at are 11 after I had gone to work.

 

[Mr Ferret 75]

I'm going to make this easy for all of you. When I go no fuss no muss. Just stop in WS and raise a glass to my memory.

I will break my no alcohol rule and grab a grey gooose just for you.
On such a happy note I keep trying to convince Mrs Ferret I want a Viking funeral.

You are giving a good example of what can happen when people don't have a living will or power of attorney. Do it, as soon as you have children. We didn't but , we did when Dad died, and knew we should have done this earlier. It's never too early, especially if you get into an accident, you can say what you want to happen. Our attorney only cost 95.00$ to draw this up, and it gives you peace of mind. Things can happen to young people too. Learn from our mistakes. Sorry, don't mean to be preachy, but this is pretty important.

I think everyone should have a living will, power of attorney, and medical directive. Yes, I have all three. Which is what happens when you're the daughter of a lawyer. Have had all three since I turned 18. My parents also redid everything when I turned 18 to adjust for the fact that I was an adult (for instance, so that if something happens to them, I get custody of my brother). The medical directives make me feel better because their wishes are outlined if one of them is unable to make that decision.

It's very hard to talk about, let alone sit and think about, but extremely important.

So you want to be left by the roadside as critter food. Interesting!

My ashes are going to the Rocky Mountains, with a great view!

I'm doing that too, I would love to go off in a boat, it's probably going to be ashes in the mountains.

Okay we just got home from getting hubby's prescriptions, and going to the urologist. He has a stone. Sent home with a bunch of drugs, along with a 12 pack of beer. He is to drink beer and go for a walk to pass the stone. He hates beer, anyone got any ideas to make it taste better, something to have with it. Hey, @donaldtoo, when you want a beer, you can say you are trying to pass a kidney stone.

 

[betty rose]

Out for today, hubby and I am both tired, he more than me. Talk to you all tomorrow, oh hubby goes back to the urologist in two weeks, if he hasn't passed the stone, it off to surgery. That beats the three weeks.

 

[donaldtoo]

Clothing store closer time, again.
Can't remember the last time I did this two nights in a row...?

 

[donaldtoo]

Yep the barium solution was completely white and was foamy. My mom had to add a bit of water to a some of the cups to prevent the bitter taste but it sorta helped. But after that, it don't think I will ever look at milkthakes or ice cream the same way for a while now.

Still playing ketchup...
Sympathy like.
Hope they get ya' fixed up, feelin' better, and outta' there, soon...!

Oh my.
Sorry, but, I have absolutely NO clue how you could make beer taste any better than it already does...!
Too bad there's not a way he could pass the stone by me drinkin' the beer for 'im...!
And yep, "Preventative medicine", I'll call it...!!!

Don't be modest! At the very least it is selfless humanitarianism. You'd practically be a saint and your halo would be for real.

Played tug of war with the dog and tossed the ball around a bit. I think I completely wore her out because she's sound asleep on the bed. I can't get over how much she looks like Rover from CofP.

That dog is adorable! It looks so cuddly.

Howdy! I am doing well. I met someone from the dating site over the weekend and we had a really nice time. He's also going through a divorce, has 2 kids, is intelligent, funny, and self-aware. We're getting together again later this week, so hopefully things continue going well.

Hope you're doing well, too! I see you're still trying to ketch up. I've given up hope for myself.

Sounds promising! Good luck!

Morning everyone, it's currently my second day in the hospital. Right now I'm waiting for my Catscan (CT) and I also just got done drinking berium solution and it took my 5 cups to drink. It was very difficult for my to drink due to how bitter it tasted. At one point I began crying because of how homesick I was and my mother was there to comfort me and after realizing there's a second bottle for me to drink. Right now, I'm waiting for my scan to be taken in 2 hours. I will keep you guys updated later today while I'm in the hospital It's moments like this where I'm glad I own an android which connects to the hospital Wifi since my computer somehow can't connect. I can't even watch YouTube videos in the hospital but my mom's iPhone can do it.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Hey guys, so far I feel much better now. It's getting dark at the hospital right now but I finally gotten to eat today. I decided to eat some white turkey and mashed potatoes. My stomach while a little sore is is much better shape today that it was over the past Two and a half wheeks. I heard I might return home tommorow hopefully it I look much better since my ski was mostly pale over the past few days but is starting to regain its color back thanks to eating. I'm also starting to get my apetite back and I been thinking about burritos with tasty meat and hamburgers all day. Maybe when I get even more better I might have some when I return home. That's all for now, I will give you more updates later tonight or tommorow.

That stuff is horrible to drink. When I did it came back up partway through my scan. Then they decided I needed to go directly to surgery because my appendix was about to burst. Yup, that drink's nasty.
