Good afternoon Kitchen dweller!! Took my phelbotomy assessment and got an 81 out of 97 so that is good, can take it over if I want to. Just gonna study the test questions for sure. So where is everyone, I guess they are working this afternoon have to wait for after dinner to be in contact with people. Ok time to relax, dogs are asleep. Maybe I'll get some coffee from DD and a brownie that would be nice wouldn't it. Don't really need the brownie though do I!! Setting out coffee and tea for those who need it.

Yes time to declutter and thanks for the encouragement I need it. Tomorrow two exams. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. Then on Thursday the phelbotomy and assisting with minor surgeries. I called the internship place and they didn't know about me. I really think that is stupid!! and bad on the school's part. Anyway the girl I spoke to said she would speak to the doctor and call me back. Haven't heard anything from anybody yet. Anyway time for some TV and relaxation. Its been a long day!! see ya later leaving some afternoon chocolate for those that need it.

Hello friends

Just a quick post tonight and calling out for chinese food...had a doctor appointment for my son this evening (yes, we have an awesome family physician practice that has evening hours)...and he has them baffled. On and off mild fever, a bizarre rash, some isolated joint and muscle aches, fatigue...

They took blood, urine and a throat culture...and will be talking to the folks at the medical school tomorrow. At the moment they're thinking it's a viral infection and his (always very sensitive and reactive) skin is flaring up...the joys of redheads with ultra fair skin. They want to be careful and check for lyme disease and anything rhuemitoid (and hmmm...that's not spelled right but I'm too pooped to check).

Long evening...time to relax with a bailey's coffee...extra whipped cream.

70 hours baby

Good Evening Jo Jo,

Hope the dr's can figure out what is wrong with your son....Elijah has been the same way and a week ago, the poor little boy couldn't eat bc he was spitting up.

The wonderful state of Florida is waiting for you to return!!! It has been hotter than hell down here and I hope the sun stays out for your vacation.

Have a good night,

Zimmy

Good Evening Everyone,

It has been crazy around here the last few days. I found out yesterday, that the local community college took almost 75% of my gen ed classes from DeVry, so I will only have to take a few gen ed's like physics, microbiology and anatamy. I had my oldest niece stay the night lastnight with my best friend's niece, and those two kept Elijah running around...

Hope you all are having a good night and I am going to leave the night light on for those who might pop in during the night..

Hugs to all of you!!!!

Zimmy

Jo Lyme's disease is nothing to sneeze at!! I had it for almost 10 years and was really sick. they should do a PCR test for Lyme's disease and send it to OLd Lyme, Ct that's where they get the best results!! good luck and I hope your son doesn't have it. Otherwise they should start him on antibiotic right away for three weeks orally. Anything Rhuematoid is another thing and a separate issue. Well with that said Good Morning all! Setting out strong coffee and tea, have to go and walk dogs they are crying to go outside. see ya later.

Rise and shine its breakfast time. This morning will be steak and eggs with hash browns, sorry no bacon or sausage someone else will have to bring that to the table. bagels lox and cream cheese and onions, croissants, jams and jellies and strong coffee and tea, sodas, Diet and regular. OK gotta get ready for my 8 am class damn they start early in that school

Good morning everyone

Well the son is enjoying breakfast in bed...no school for him because of the fever (and the school is doing their last 3 days of 2-1/2 hours a day...academics and tests are over...so no biggie). We are crossing fingers for good news today, but he does have them stumped.

You're right Lips...lyme disease is the big worry and, although his rash is atypical, it's a possibility. They took blood and sent it out, so we should know soon. The good news is that if it's treated quickly and completely with antibiotics it usually responds well...so I'm hanging onto that. We are in an absolutely tick-infested area...and I read online last night that half of the ticks tested in upstate NY are lyme-positive. Lovely. Another good reason to get moving to Florida! Well...that...and the beach ... and the

Thanks for getting breakfast for us Lips...lovely as usual
Zimmy... that's such good news about your classes being transferable! That will save alot of time and work and you can get your degree that much sooner. Awesome!

58 hours baby....

I'm off to refill the coffee and do a little work...check on the kiddo...but I'll be back. Have a great day everyone!
