Good morning, REOvil!
Have a great visit Laurin! I forget...are the kids both girls? Do you engage in tea parties and dress up? My Grandpa (Robert Marion) was a big tough guy, had to shave twice a day & drank kerosene for breakfast, but a big marshmallow when his girls were around. After a few years having four granddaughters I'm sure he was thrilled to finally have a grandson though.
Frank-
that really stinks. 
I'm sure you are prepared....right?
Hi & bye, everyone! My Mom finally caught the spirit and wants to venture into town to shop. Evil stepDad gave me some Christmas money and Mom wants a list.

Only saving grace, it doesn't come into effect till 2016, so this coming year, I'll be getting another couple of 2.1s to stash away, & a couple of cyclones, & 5 litres of 72mg (the highest we can buy in the UK), & just put two fingers up at the lot of them

Laurin, I am so excited for you! I have been thinking about you seeing your family all morning! And awaiting pics
Hypercalcemia is metabolic in nature. So is high cholesterol.
The calcium thing can be as simple as low Vit D levels though. I hope they will check your Vitamin D levels.
(Most doctors test very regularly for this now, due to so many people being low in Vit D and its role in metabolic disorders like high cholesterol as well as osteoporosis, etc. in ex smokers.)
Hope they get ya sorted out! Been thru all that myself.
Took me a while to get my Vit D levels up.
New reonaut here! Got my first one (white Grand) last Monday, ordered another Grand and a Mini by Tuesday afternoon. Now I'm dealing with the HORROR of the USPS having (presumably) lost my package. Should have had it on Saturday, but it was flagged as "undeliverable" and routed around to various sorting facilities...the last of which updated on Sunday @ 2:00 AM and that's the last it's been seen or heard from. 
What a beautiful mix, please let your father know we share his grief today.

Welcome to Reoville! Hope that mess gets sorted out quickly for you. Robert is very good about making sure you get your REO. Might want to drop him a PM if no further tracking shows.

I had no idea about my Vitamin D levels till last year. The Dr. wanted to put me on rx Vit D. I said no I would do it. I am still trying to get it where it should be. Last test showed some improvement but not enough.
It is very important to have checked. I am glad I did.
Stuff like this takes a long time to really heal. Really just give yourself a lot of time and self-kindness. It will work itself out but it is the time of year when it is so easy to over-do stuff.
vsummer, I understand the eating thing. My body seems to adhere to the "you are what you eat" philosophy. It requires a lot of discipline sometimes, but is totally worth it not to feel icky. People assume I must feel some sort of privation, but I really don't.
I'ts like the PG/VG stuff. I did get some ejuice during some sales, and spend 3 days with leg and muscle cramps from the higher PG. So, no, it doesn't bother me at ALL not to use that juice.
even though it tastes good.

Or hyperphosphatemia, or she could have taken a Tums within 24 hours of her blood being drawn... there are so many things that could cause it I wouldn't dare say a word unless I could analyze her labwork and medical records. That was the funnest part of ICU, fixing the things to make the patient better and you can't fix it unless you know every little detail. Loved it.
LOLi, just know that if the doctor was concerned, you wouldn't be waiting a week to discuss it right? You would be called in immediately
Thanks! I definitely will let him know, but I don't want to bother him with it too early, I figure I'll give the Post Office a few more days to make it right. If there isn't anything by Saturday or Sunday, I'll drop him an email. I'm just stuck in the whiny, "I want my new toys nooww!" stage.

Welcome to REOville and the lounge! Sorry to hear all of this
I hope it gets sorted soon. While we may not have faith in the USPS, we do have faith in Rob!
I'll be seeing them tomorrow. Can't wait. THe little one probably won't know me from the man on the moon. Heres a couple pics that their mom sent me recently.Laurin, I am so excited for you! I have been thinking about you seeing your family all morning! And awaiting pics

I just finished wrapping a gift for my post office guy, Christmastime at USPS would make me want to run to another job, and quickly. I can't imagine the sheer mountains of stuff they are being avalanched with this time of year, I dunno how they do it, even with hiring extra casual labor.
After seeing what the AR USPS did during our ice storms, I was almost too impressed to speak. There was NO WAY I would have been driving around in that stuff! As a matter of fact, a fulll week after it has ended, I had to drive to Fort Smith for a dr appointment, and it was an obstacle course going thru the national forest areas.....my eyes bugged out when I saw the amount of trees and branches down.
I think I had to slow at least 15 times in 80 miles for work crews still trying to move stuff out of the way. The gal who is my carrier is a little 100 pounder with a toyota pickup just like mine.........and she was driving IN the ice storms the entire time it was going on to deliver mail on unpaved county roads, no less. Rural carriers are just hourly workers, too, it's not like she is getting rich.
She drives all those tornado days too.
I think your package got turned around a bit but you will get it. They take Priority Mail rather seriously at USPS.
I had a juiice order (it was a gift sent to somebody else, I DIY most of my own stuff) get almost to my friend, then looks like it got turned around at one of the sectional centers in his state, then it started back to where it came from (vendor), then somebody at USPS obviously picked up on whatever mistake was made, and it then started its trip back to where it's supposed to go.
Got there about 2 days late. At any rate, I do take time to herald the USPS service every so often. Their entire history is so interesting, but I'm also convince that a lot of people in the US really don't understand how and what they do. We are used to walking into post offices and dealing with a counter clerk who seems to have it cushy. That is only the Point of Sale there, the actual USPS operations is monstrous and awfully hard work, too.....both in the air (with their contracted aircraft) and on the ground. I am surprised some of them don't have national guard training or something. They go thru a lot.

Evening all. Feeling like poo on this end. Have had the crud for a few weeks now. Typical winter respiratory funk. Switched to unflavored juice to limit the extra junk in my lungs. Every time i get better, someone new comes into my clinic and coughs up some newly mutated strain!
I feel like patient zero.
Hope everybody is having a wonderful hump day!
