Hi my Peeps. It has been a roller coaster 6 months. The most recent cat, Pumpkin the Pisser or Pumpkin the Destroyer (formerly feral with dx of feline leukemia) is an excellent roommate- in sickness...

Ann, uuugh... you looking at snow? A little west of you, NOAA is predicting 5 " of snow.
My thoughts of moving to Minneapolis are long gone.

Just found this thread.
Catdancer, I hope it is a good time wherever you are- no pain, no worries.

Thank you.
I've been dealing with snow, bad landlord and, in early january, bladderstone removal w/ minor post op excitement.
Be well all.
Oh, yeah, don't be like me- drink more water!!!

Please, behave.

I'm with Ann. I consider myself a paraplegic with all the BS asociated w/that- skin breakdown concerns, urinary track madness. My para self also has chronic fatigue which messes with me and my...

When I am sick I am very sick but do not go to the local hospital ER. There are two Urgent Care facilities, this is the one affiliated with two of my good docs and if I need hospitalization I ride by...

Mitranoff, si. I'm glad my appendix was still in me for the surgery- a continent urinary diversion. The continent of South America.

No, not in hospital- just getting psyched for a TBA bladder stone removal. July's stay was the pits.

If my appendix has been part of my urinary tract for 12 years, does that help with immunity or make me even more of a freak?

Did the author mention what city, state he lives in?

The people of Braintalk are my reality check, thank you!

Re 11/16: 7" of glorious snow and ambulation
You need a blow torch, Ann.
It will be a lot of fun.

I found it creepy when my governor sold out and handed over all state voting records to the feds last year. The CDC will do what it will do but where are the guarantees that private business will not...

Hi peeps. I wish you all better sleep tonight.

Sunshine, I don't know where you are but I would drive you the extra 20 minutes. My local hospital is a B for many things but a C minus minus for the...

I am grateful for anything that gets me contact with my species including the internet, my van and

Thank you and backatcha Cherie!

Eclair, eclair

Thanks everybody! I don't know what I did but the next day was a staff development day. Long hours, free lunch and no coffee because "coffee is a distraction."
ROTFLMAO

A belated thanks for the birthday wishes!

NY has medical marijuana. There is a dispensary not far from me but none of my neuros seem to be willing to write a test script. I know of someone who is receiving it but it sounds like she got the...

Happy belated birthday, Mr Howie!

I'm going to Trader Joe's and Wholefoods tomorrow. For someone who is trying to reduce possessions, grocery store binges are the best. Howie, whaddya need? I want more chocolate with bacon. Sorry,...

The best cheesecakes and fruitcakes come from convents. No kidding. The nuns at a hometown catholic hospital used to give my dad a fruitcake @ christmas. There had to be half a bottle of Chivas in...

Thank you for all the hellos. I needed to check the braintalk status

Hiya

I haven't been anywhere lately- just here since the end of March establishing
a home life relationship with my new older adopted cat.

She is a feral cat who doesn't know she was feral ...

WOW.
Forwarned is forarmed.
So sorry and thank you for sharing.

But can a paraplegic do it?
Quite a few years ago an out patient PT decided not to follow docs orders to put me in a stand up rack.
Instead she draped me on a large red ball. That didn't work.
It...

Hi all.

I had so many 2 week long jobs in my early earlier life... not until I reconciled myself to being innately
non mainstream was it embarrassing. Kind of like the structure of this...

Please don't make the world have MS.

Right ON! And remember- most people can float even with weird legs.

Chef Boy R Dee in a box?
Who knew.

I thought broccoli and kale were top dogs in the vegetable world unless
you are fighting kidney stones.

Spoken like a true Ohioan, Sally.
My Ohio cousins would not eat tomato sauce on their pasta and
their pizza featured cream cheese.

I'm a yankee who grew up around italians and irish.

18 inches of snow coming to the northeast on Sunday.

Just Kidding!!!

Not funny. Yeah, I know, not funny.
Ha ha.

Yes, Howie, you could grow me some pot and I could bake brownies
for everyone!
My community garden spot came through again this year but it is so public
that mj is out of the question.

What...

My onset complete with paraplegia that never improved and the five weeks of general and rehab hospitalization
are forever the most strange, horrible and hilarious story of my MS career.

Yes, it...

May I have a Mediterranean to cook for me?
Preferably a northern Italian named Paulo whose mother is french.

Sto bene bene bene.

Howard, please get off the cake.

Please.

Happy Birthday plus a few hours, St-st-st-st-st-stANNding.

Wishing You Forever Young.

Hope it was a fun day.

Gary, if you sit around on your buttocks half as much as I do and dally in 'roads it
sounds do like a good idea to get a bone density test if nothing else for a baseline.

Osteoporosis isn't just...

OH yeah, Parsi.

But I'm down here and the machina is up there and the room is a very tight squeeze for a stepladder.
I need an extra tall person or a very light long person but those are in...

Bummer. I got home tonight and my door lock wouldn't open.

Twice is one entry too many.

Cherie, it took me two reads to make sure you didn't say you had 40 year old grandsons.
No way! Could that be true and it isn't.

The smoke alarm in my bedroom decided to start bleeping off at 9...

Someone please call the nurse and tell her not to come this morning.
I have been awake since 1 am yesterday (keeping Howie time) and

Golden retrievers are woonderful! Greetings from the amtrack train. Flower show was fun, Philadelphia Museum of Fine Arts was a treat, good food. Loved the locals. Party on peeps!

Sally-

My mom had home PT sessions with a french born, male physical therapist
who had worked for Cirque de Soleil. She had about 20 years on him but, my oh my,
she loved those visits, the...

That's a lot of rent money.

I'll stick to Trader Joe's selection although
their bacon bits chocolate bar is a moral dilemma.

What doesn't kill you might make you feel good, eh?
Why not.

I've gone the bee sting route and still like the
industrious pollinators.

Good luck with the infusion Peg.

March is coming in like a lion in many ways here.
I hope it goes out like a happy lamb and not a roast leg of.

You know what happens when you run out of cat food- it gets ugly. Very ugly.
Hollywood screamer ugly.

Oklahoma has been shaking daily when it never or rarely did.

The last earthquake I felt here was centered hundreds of miles south in VA.
My wheelchair was slamming my knees into the computer...

Thanks, Sal, I will.

Do you think Howie and I are both a little ADD or something?

If I weren't chocolate deprived I would immediately recognize 'chocolate helps boost cognitive decline' as 'chocolate improves cognition' and not 'chocolate gives cognitive decline an assist.'
It's...

Thanks Parsi.
NOW I remember Ted Hutchinson.

Thanks for the laugh.
