Good morning BP
It is so cold this morning and I would have stayed in bed if I truly didn't have to get up!
That is one of the prettier ones I've seen. Actually, there are ones that, if gazed upon long enough, provide a mini meditation. Just silent thoughtless awe!
Started this much earlier today.......started to click on the last page, then the internet went out, so I talked to a dear friend for 5 hours 
(we don't get to talk too often). So now I'm back to this
I know they're getting better at back surgeries, to where they actually help more than they hurt. So in that sense it sorta sucks that it's not something they can just go fix. But i have a long standing wariness of back surgeries, so in that sense, glad ya don't have to have surgery. how's that for wishy washy? lol
(we don't get to talk too often). So now I'm back to thisNewp, hadn't thought about it. Not a bad idea. Sea Arama is no longer in Galveston, but the man who was the director of marine mammal training there is easy to find. He was in charge of all animal care at Shedd aquarium in Chicago for awhile, and now per the webz, has a training and consulting business.
Jup! I used to buy bottles of the horsey sauce from em. The only thing I ever managed to even kinda like was the beef and cheddar, but only if I had enough horsey and bar-b sauce on it to drown out the "beef" taste. I'd mix up a bunch of it and dunk the sammich in it.
awwwwwwww so tiny! I'm not a fan of chi's so much, but she's so cute!
sounds good. I sooooooooo wish we had a costco somewhere around here but newp, they put in another sam's instead. Closest one is about an hour away.
I took meloxicam for quite awhile. It was ok, no issues from it, but it didn't do much to help the pain. I'm on etodolac now instead. It's one of those things that it doesn't seem like it helps, but if I went off it, I'd likely notice a little bit of difference. Not a lot though.

now they can just put em on cd's.
Try to remember that now next time ya start feeling that way and take one. If ya don't need em, don't take em, but if ya do.....that's what they are there for.
hehehe. Sun I woke up at 10 am, and almost went bangin on my son's door thinking he was 3.5 hours late for clinicals before I realized it was Sunday.
wow.........what is that? That is gorgeous and freaky all at the same time!Good Morning
Believe it or not that is a Sarcastic Fringehead. Yawning maybe?
The picture that Legs posted is, seriously, a Sarcastic Fringehead. (Thanks, Google Picture Search!)
Well, my doctor's office called on Friday with my blood test results. They told me my LDH is ridiculously high and my Vitamin D is ridiculously low. I immediately reduced my alcohol consumption drastically, because I think my drinking is the prime cause of the bad cholesterol level. Today, I went and got my bone density test, then picked up the prescriptions that the doctor had faxed in to my pharmacy on Friday.
Two of the prescriptions are cholesterol-lowering drugs but I only took the Ezetimibe. The other cholesterol-lowering drug is a statin and I'm going to take my chances on not taking it, then see how my cholesterol levels are when I get re-tested 2 months from now. The 3rd Rx is 50,000 unit Vitamin D2 like Legs was talking about last week. that I'm to take one a week. (4 capsules is a 4 week supply).
Tomorrow I have my first visit with a local dental implant place that has an excellent reputation.
And I got my taxes done today, for the first time in years! Well, actually, I submitted extension requests, and took a wild guess about how much state tax I'll owe, and submitted more than that along with the NC extension request. I don't think I'll owe anything to the IRS. More than I've done since 2007, believe it or not. Get 'er done!

Wow! You're really gettin' it done!
I wonder why my doctor put me on a statin instead of Ezetimibe. I guess I should ask him.
I'm supposed to take both. My doc won't find out that I'm only taking one of them until after I'm retested 2 months from now. Whether I inform him sheepishly or triumphantly will depend on what the new test results are. Of course if I have a stroke or heart attack between now and then I'll be sorry I second-guessed the doc.
The biggest thing working in my favor, IMO, is that I was sufficiently frightened by the lab results that I've reduced my drinking radically since being informed of those results 5 days ago. The second biggest thing is that being on the NSAID Meloxicam for the past week has enabled me to engage in a tad more physical activity, and the third biggest thing is that I've cut the fats I was consuming by about two thirds. I've only done it for 5 days, but I think I can keep it up. I'd gotten really careless about it.
we recently got our tax return and lucky for me there was a little more than expected…it afforded me to buy a GMZ from the classies and a Jac and hubs a new chain saw. Now we're poor again but happy
You all remember about my hubs heart issue? The rest of the story is that we requested a copy from the cardiologist of all his findings and notes about hubs tests and we were shocked to find out that hubs has another artery that is 50% blocked and one that is 70% blocked. Doc never told us about these…only that he had a little narrowing in a couple of other arteries.
70% sounded like a little more than "some" so we met with our primary who is an internist by training and originally trained for cardiology. She was very surprised that the cardio doc considered a 70% blockage as "some" and didn't seem concerned about it based on the fact that hubs has no symptoms. She agreed with us when we told her we wanted a second opinion on the course of treatment (or lack of) prescribed by him.
The new cardiologist is a little further away but has a great reputation and is a specialist in what they call Interventional Cardiology. So we have an appointment with him next week.
