Arkh64 - I'm sorry that your mother is abusive. Been there and I had to keep contact to a minimum for my own survival. Is she in your home or in her own home?

burnt - I could use those fairies too. lol I hear what your husband is saying and agree you will never hear the end of it. Stuff is not worth the aggravation. Even just storing furniture for mother I got accused of using her things (not) and depriving her. Can you hear the violins playing...

My whine today is that someone in Pennsylvania logged into my Instacart account. Instacart notified me right away and I changed my password. It never ends does it?

Burnt,

Start off fresh! A new beginning.

Golden,

I am glad that they caught it! I didn’t find out about someone taking a loan out in my name until it showed up as unpaid! Identity theft is a pain to get cleared up.

Scammers do the quick online overnight loans! I filled a police report immediately. It took awhile but they tracked them down. They won’t be able to do it again because I have all three credit bureaus frozen.

People are always trying to get away with something. Years ago I remember my grandmother telling me that a man showed up at her door saying that he worked for the electric company and needed to check something.

Grandma let him inside thinking that he was honest. He went to her bedroom and took $50 out of her purse. She was upset. I was too but I was so grateful that he didn’t hurt my grandma. People will kill someone for a few dollars. It’s awful!

Yes, catskie, stay safe.

Here in Alberta we could use the rain. It is "tinder" dry and we are at risk for fires again. After the 2016 event I get a bit nervous. There are evacuations west of Edmonton due to fires.

"More than half of Alberta’s 211 wildfires so far this year were reported in just the past seven days." according to the weather network.

May is usually the worst month and we are not even there yet. I don't want to go through another evacuation!

I messaged my physician's patient portal for an antibiotic to be called in to my pharmacy for a sinus infection. Seems ridiculous to be seen if you know what your ailment is. Feeling too poorly anyway.

So, I have posted about the complications with my husband’s colonoscopy.

All polyps removed except for the one that retracted into his appendix. He had his appendix removed to remove the polyp.

Then, the infection started after the appendix removal. ER trip to the hospital. Antibiotics given in hospital and at home.

Then, husband starts with pain in his left foot with swelling. Walking on crutches.

Today he went to the foot doctor. Now he’s going to be put on steroids. Hope that this will help him. He is still in pain. They think the foot issue is some sort of reaction to the antibiotics that he was on.

Who would have thought that he would have gone through all of this from going in for a simple colonoscopy?

The whole thing has been weird from the beginning. The doctor said that he had never seen a polyp go inside of his appendix when he went to remove it.

Think of all the trouble you'd have missed if he had only skipped the colonoscopy 🤪

NHWM, what antibiotic did they give him? My Mom was given Clindamycin for an infection and it made her foot swell up (per diagnosis from her internist). It took a long time for the swelling to go away completely. Just a thought.

cw,

I know, right? LOL 😆 Geeeez, one thing after another!

We used to do the home test. So much easier! But, he has colon cancer in his family. So do I, in my family.

My home test showed blood. I only had one polyp and it was a simple procedure to remove. No complications whatsoever.

My poor husband has had a tough time. We couldn’t believe that his colonoscopy turned into requiring surgery. Okay, appendectomy is a minor surgery. We thought, alright this is no big deal, right? Than all of this. It’s has been non stop! I feel bad for him.

The doctor said that he couldn’t leave the polyp inside of the appendix in case it was cancerous. So, he couldn’t ignore it and the appendix had to come out.

Hey, that is the silver lining, all polyps were benign. I know that was a relief for him after dealing with prostate cancer. Thank God, his lab results are within normal range regarding his prostate cancer.

Geaton,

One was Cipro and the other was Flagyl.

I wonder how common it is to get a reaction to antibiotics.

Sorry that happened to your mom.

Your profile picture is so sweet! Is that your mom or aunt? Wait, you had two aunts, one died, right? They were quite old, right?

My cousin turned 100! She is still driving. She should not be driving. She lives in a senior apartment building. Not even assisted living. Very independent woman! No walker or cane. Tiny little woman.

She helps the other “old people” in her building! LOL 😆 I laugh every time she calls me to tell me that she has been helping out the “old” people in her apartment building with cleaning and cooking!

She tells me, “Honey, don’t worry about me. I am only driving to church, the dollar store, Walmart and to have lunch with my friends.”

I do worry when she tells off a cop saying that he should not give her a speeding ticket! Her poor children have tried everything to keep her off the road with no success. I pray that she doesn’t kill herself and others while driving.

The aqua therapy place not telling us until first appt that you have to stand and pivot transfer to the pool lift. They don't actually have a hoyer type life with slings for the pool. On what planet would aqua therapy not have the lift with the bells and whistles

Has medicine changed that much?
A referral to a gastroenterologist by my PCP will expire in August.
The gi doc referred to cannot see me by then, so I called for a renewal of the order.

I received a referral to a different doctor, with a 2 star rating.

Does a patient have to see the doctor listed on the referral?
I have an HMO.

Maybe I can see the first doctor I was referred to, after August.

LLama - hope you get meds soon. I am just recovering from a sinus infection - eyes got it too and I an tiired!!!! The sooner you get the meds the better!

need - so sorry your dh is going through this one thing triggering another. Hope this is the end of it.

One month since R had his surgery and I think he is not as good as he had hoped. It's taking a while. I am urging him to be careful, and not overdo anything. One room in the condo still needs the flooring finished then a cleaning will have to be done - neither of these by him. He has been staying in the city since he had surgery. We have agreed I will get the movers to move some of the heavier stuff. Thank goodness. I know he thought he could do it but it might be next year before he is ready.

Coming home from vacay makes you want another one!! Not really, glad to be home and see my fur babies again, but,,, 4 loads of laundry, run the dishwasher, vacuum the main level, get groceries, and this is a first,,, clean cat poop out of the fireplace lava rocks!! No one is confessing, they are all looking innocent and at each other. Can;t blame that on the pet sitter,, why would she look in the fireplace? I only noticed it because I was vacuuming and noticed some rock on the hearth. They did use the litter box, which she cleaned, guess that was their protest at our being gone? It was her first time petsitting and she did a fine job, left the place clean and stayed until we got home. We did get a call she locked herself out, but we got her back in,, I joke she can now add house breaking to her resume! And when I asked her if the payment I left her was enough,, she actually said she thought she was doing it free!! Heck no,, she is a sweetheart And she stayed here overnight 5 nights and took 2 days off work so the pets could get used to her. I was not expecting that at all. Her grandmother is my BFF who came with us. So she is happy to do it again when we need her.

Pam Glad you had a good time and pets were well looked after

We have an evacuation alert for an area near by due to forest fires out of control. The risk of fires is very high as there has been no rain but there has been winds so everything very dry. I would appreciate prayers for the situation.
