Jo's Kitchen (and yes, the coffee IS on...)

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!

G-D Jo I hope everything turns out alright but with antibiotics you can reverse the symptoms. Yeah the fever is a killer I had that for a long time until they diagnosed me which was a couple of years later by that time it spread to my brain. Have bipolar disorder from it. Yeah got the breakfast this morning all the goodies on the table. Well took one more exam got an A on that one too. Medical coding and billing,this afternoon is pharmacology which I love!! Ok so the date is postponed for a couple of weeks due to a business trip. And the internship wants me to work on a Saturday which is a no go because I'm Jewish and we don't work that day its the Sabbath so I emailed the associate of career services and told them about that. Let's see what happens!! I'm off to have some needed nourishment and lunch then its back for the afternoon well not all afternoon. see ya later!!

Hello Kitchen dwellers, well its a hot and sunny day just like I like have the a/c on and all is well. got a good grade on my pharm final don't know the final grade but I'm sure its gonna be alright. Can't wait until September then I move out of fucking NJ for sure. Too congested and too cold in the winter time and too much snow. Tomorrow is assisting with minor surgeries and phlebotomy final which should be easy. Gonna have to study tomorrow morning I'm beat for the day been up since like 5:30 AM to walk dogs. well don't know whats for supper maybe someone could whip up something nourishing and good. That would be nice!! Have to go and walk dogs for a while be back later to see what goodies have been left and how everyone's day has went leaving coffee and tea for those that need it.

Wow where is everyone tonight? Had dinner and had dessert too. Just have to have my yogurt and the night is done!! Jo hope your son feels better soon!! Let me know how his tests turn out. OK

Sam · 06-23-2010, 06:07 PM

just a quick hello, been a crazy week so far, hoping ya'll are having a great week.

JustJo · 06-23-2010, 06:26 PM

Ack..just wrote a big long post, and managed to delete it instead of submit...pretty much par for the course today!

Thanks to all of you for your well wishes for my son (affectionately known as Rooster to Scoote...for that standing-up-straight-in-the-back bright red hair). The test results won't be back for a week, but they are convinced that it's Lyme's disease and are treating it accordingly. Three weeks of antibiotics, and they assure me he'll be as good as newl

Gonna' keep dinner simple tonight with taco night...crispy warm corn tortillas, and bowls to serve yourself to the perfect combo of spicy ground beef, homemade salsa, shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, lettuce and fresh diced tomato. Mmmmm.....

For dessert I'm craving some old fashioned banana pudding...the kind with custard, banana slices, and Nilla wafers...

baby....day after tomorrow...

Hugs to everyone...

Oh I'm so glad that you found out what is the matter with your son. Make sure he takes his antibiotics and the symptoms will disappear. Its a horrible disease to have I feel for him. I still have good and bad days. If the day is too long for me I feel it very tired so don't be surprised if he sleeps alot, thats just par for the course!! PM me if you want to talk!!
