I’ve been busy
*Chasing a 6 year old who runs around 90 MPH with his hair on fire
*Worrying about my Aunt who it has finally been diagnosed with something that would mean she would eventually starve to death. We’re now waiting for another Doctor’s appt to find out if they can do anything for it.
*Doing every day shit
*Trying to keep the living room mammoth and spider free while waiting for my Uncle to deliver a sofa he’s bringing down for us
*Experimenting with some new recipes from cookbooks I recently bought.
*Transferring around 70 CDs worth of computer crap to DVDs so the next time I have to reinstall shit I don’t have to search through a ton of CDs to find the programs I need
Like I said I’ve been busy….

Just stopped by to say hello, and wish you well. I know the feeling, it jhas been a hectic month around my place too and my kids are all grown. Still they need a hand from time to time, have a great day.

Sara: I guess you figured out that it’s Karen. For years she’d had trouble eating and the Doctors acted like it was all in her head or that she wanted attention. Her digestive action is screwed up. Her digestive “wave” as she describes it stops at the esophagus. Her food refuses to go down so she beats herself on the chest to make it go down. She’s in pain all the time but her medications don’t go any further as well. They disolve in the esophagus. Damned doctors basically threw their hands in the air and wouldn’t look any further. When she found out it wasn’t all in her head she cried in the Doctor’s office. If she hadn’t been overweight when this started she’d probably be dead by now. They’re going to try and put what she called a pacemaker for the stomach in to kick her wave back into action. They don’t know if it will work.

I figured out that much. That really, really stinks. Hopefully something somewhere will work for her.

“Mammoth free”? Geez, and I thought the spiders might be a problem. At least I don’t have to chase giant Ice Age animals out of my living room…
