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!

in my 20s, one of my roommates for a while was a high school buddy who got a job with the post office. he talked me into taking the test. unfortunately, much of it involved memorization skills. one thing i'll never forget is the postal lady who told me she'd never seen a zero score before.

few of us are blessed with holding a record that will never be broken, so i've always felt kinda special.

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.

Thanks, i will ask her about the Vitamin d but the new test will have to wait until after Christmas.

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. :cry:

I am sorry for your wait being so long!


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.

Sounds like more pills for me o_O i don't like them...

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 :)

I did take 2 tums the night before. I have stopped taking them since they are high in calcium. Also i love salty food. I wish you could have been my Doctor :)

And in other news is I am moving starting tomorrow and should be in my new home by Saturday :) This could be bad because can't get into the Residential Home with the free wifi.

Where i am moving only has dialup eeeek I am getting AOL i am so sad. Will i be able to get here with AOL? Hope so. So if i disappear then don't worry it is because i can't get here maybe till after the holidays. I have to get a phone hooked up and everything.

heh more bills to pay smh

If you have wireless on your computer then there are other options.
Like the Straight Talk that I just got. Works well and does not cost much at all. It will only be $20 a month for me with my usage.

they just delivered my Straight Talk a few minutes ago. also got the 4GB card. i'll probably activate the included part next week to try it out, then hang onto the card for emergency sale night use. along with the portable power supply thingie that you also turned me onto, i think i'm covered for Woodvil sale night.

i think my apartment is gradually turning into the House that Karen built

It doesn't sound like you are going to have an opportunity to get better with all those sick patients and their mutant strains. Yep, you are definitely patient zero! I wasn't allowed to work sick, but our patient population wasn't mobile ;)

That might be a better option than dial up. I have AOL for email, but not for my internet. I have had them so long it just would be a hassle to change the email address! Karen might have the right idea for you here, and she already did all the hard work looking around.

and BTW, I am not an MD, I am an ICU/CCU RN whose sole job was to look out for patients and keep them alive when they were trying to die for various reasons and knowing which specialist to call and which orders to question from all the different dr.'s on the case :lol:

Straight Talk uses Verizon cellular. So it is broadband. It shows up like any other wi-fi available. It is a little box that you turn on and it makes the "hot spot". If a Verizon phone will work there then it should. They do have a coverage map.

HA! Love it! You can put the extra $40 card in your reserve. I did that but did not set it to automatically use the second card when I was out. I probably will set that feature later.

It was quite confusing to set it up at first. I didn't know if it wanted me to connect with "it" or my other service to program the hotspot. I found out I had to have it on but connect with my other service to program. Once I got that figured out it was easy.

I was a AOL user in the 90's. When I finally got a computer, after being offline for years, I tried to open an AOL account. Found they still had me in their system. I got the same email addy! Can't bring myself to change it. Although now I have other emails I also use.

pretty sure i related the story here before, but i'm fairly certain that if i hadn't taken the advice of an experienced RN or two over "the doctor", my oldest daughter would either have never made it into this world, or squeeked by with much more damage than she had already sustained. same for her mother.

degrees have never impressed me much. experience does.
