Mine's ready with lots of lemon icing---
How are things going for you Kirsty
I thought by now you would have had your op
Good to see you in fine repartee form sparring with Robert
Winning--------
 
It feels weird to feel like crap from a cold and have it not be crohn's related.Compromised immune system from Remicade not withstanding,that is.With everything I have been through in the last year...to get knocked on my ass by a cold.Any one have some cheese for that whine?

I wish I was feeling up to some witty repartee,especially with sword dancing as a topic.Oh well,another time.

Shanen,you around? I hope the thought of me in a kilt at Sandy's isn't keeping you away.Gotta watch out for those desert drafts...try and get that picture out of your head. :biggrin:

Win!!!
 
I'm sending cake to all of you to enjoy while on your journey here (even you Robert). (Thank you for the well wishes by the way, everyone.) Hoping all of you feel better SOON. I created a photo album on my profile page for all of you to enjoy that shows "Red Rock country" in Utah (from our last trip in April) for all of you to peruse and know what you have to look forward to. No excuses of hospitals or colds allowed.

Was doing really well without the mental image until now...:ack:
 
Thanks Sandy. Still buried under work and other activities. Not a quiet January in this part of the world. Robert got me thinking about cake. Endlessly all afternoon. Wish it would have been someone's bday at work. :)
 
I have a feeling we won't see you much, Shanen, between now and April 15th. Just don't forget we are here for you, and Robert will be sending you a cake a day between now and then to eat and share with your office.
 
I really do not like doing taxes. Fortunately I only take care of my own. And both my children's. And my mother's. But that's it!

Carol, I agree with your sentiments for the day.
 
Winning and agree with Carol and Shanen.
Sandy I'm sorry that I missed your Birthday I hope that it was wonderful - happy belated birthday.
 
Thank you, Grump, and the real party is tomorrow with the furnace installation, so you haven't missed anything yet. Carol, I hope you are sleeping ok (but I suspect not). Now, to go tidy up my place and get on with real life. Darn!
 
Kirsty--how are you---
Carol.... feel better soon
Dave...ditto for you
Hi GJ
Winning---------
 
Good afternoon Trysha.I hope you are keeping well,or at least better than you were this time last year .

Winning
 
Party's on! The furnace is being installed as we speak.
Doug went to the GI this morning. More testing to come. :frown::frown::frown:
 
That was a close one Sandy - I was reading your post and pressed 'Hug' by mistake. Made me break out in a cold sweat - then I saw the remove button!
 
:cool:I am slacking off at work again. :cool:

I have been having blackish colored stools and explosive "D". Saw the GI this morning and get more Budesonide (Entocort) and got scheduled for an Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (an Upper GI scope). He wants to rule out the blood coming from my stomach and my GERD. Last colonoscopy found friability in the colon at my surgery site, and he thinks the blood is most likely coming from there.

Anyway the Furnace Installation Party is getting ready to go! See you all there!
 
Hi Carol,,,,,,,much improved right now..thank you for asking
Hope things are improving for you and the others on LOW.....
It has been too cold for over a week now,-30s and warnings from the health
Department not to venture out unless absolutely necessary.
Cabin fever ++++ set in but today a friend rescued me and we went for a drive
Along the beach, too cold for walking but we had some fish and chips---well I can only eat
5 chips and very small piece of fish but it was so good to go out.
Supposed to "warm up" to -15 or thereabouts in a few more days I can walk in that.
Winning------
 
Hi I'm out of hospital now and resting up. It's good to be out. I've got follow up appointments 5 feb.

Hhhmmmm cake yum my favourite dessert is chocolate mousse, Eton mess, pavlova, chocolate fondue, chocolate pudding with chocolate custard. I don't like hospital food. It was all watered down. Who wants half a plate of cauliflower when you have crohns. Bring back the beef broth
 
hi Kirsty, glad to hear you are home, I just swapped some whitebait for a carrot cake, its so moist, yum yum.

Don't forget your S.P.F. 30 Trysha :ywow::wink:
 
I know this is not the right thread, but a quick question.......I've been on Pred for two weeks now and apart from feeling generally run down,I've been really sick every five days or so.Pain,nausea.D.Lots of mucus last time and lots of blood today.It only lasts for 2 or 3 hours,then I'm just left with a sore stomach.This is not new.I've had it periodicaly for years.Any thoughts ? I have an M.R.I scan apt.for 5th Feb.

Suggestive of a flare
Good that you will have a scan but could that not be done sooner with your symptoms
Have you reported it to the doc.
Might be wise to have a word,maybe you need additional therapy
Feel better soon
Winning,,,,,,,,
Ps I have to use SPF60............
 
I agree with Trysha sounds like a flare.
Trysha, I can believe how cold those temperatures are. The fluid in your eyes would freeze you must have to blink lots outside. That happened to me once in china. They had -15 in day and -25 at night in Urimiqui.
 
Welcome back Kristy good to see you are making a bit of headway feel better soon---
I am accustomed to the cold but sometimes its wise to listen to the health department
Wrap up well.my outdoor clothing is windproof like most winter clothes here
Sometimes with the snow it freezes into icicles which hang from my glasses
They are heavy enough already!
Winning--------
 
I can't imagine that kind of cold myself Trysha, and I use SPF in the higher numbers myself. Kirsty, I'm glad you're back home too. I have some leftover red velvet (chocolate) cake with cream cheese frosting that I'll send your way. (I made Doug go buy it the day after my birthday after all this talk of cake. I'm not usually a huge fan of cake, so it's not a priority on birthdays, but this time you all just got to me. You should be ashamed of yourselves!)
Carol, please call your doc immediately. Prednisone can cause all sorts of side effects, but yours does sound like a problem with your disease process itself. I get irritable and can't sleep well with the pred, but it has always helped me with the problems it was supposed to at the same time. Your doc needs to know if you are getting worse. Hugs, my friend.
 
I agree with others on thoughts of a flare Carol. Take care Kirsty. Glad to hear you're home. It's so much more comfortable. That cake sounds fabulous Sandy!
 
I've just had a Peanut Butter drink,and very comforting it was too. 83cals so that's ok.I feel better today,so fingers x'd.

I've been told I am hard to forget. I always take that as a compliment. :ylol:

I still have a terrible cold and feel like crap,but a WIN! may make me feel better! I don't want to get anyone sick at the party...or did I already miss it?
 
You stay there a get better Dave,you don't want to start an epidemic.

I've made a big batch of leek and potato soup for tomorrow.
We're having it with cheese and garlic baguettes,and apple pie and icecream for afters. Winning.
 
I'm sure you could suggest a cheeky little wine that would go nicely with leek and tattie soup. Or fish and chips and mushy peas if you prefer.
 
I would choose either "red or white" one of my favourite quotes from the movie Hot Fuzz
 
My thoughts entirely,but you know how his "Lordship" likes to feel important / wanted.

You're up early Kirsty ? I've just had my bath and got my PJs on and am settling down in front of the telly.It's dark and 1c outside,with temps set to tumble (him on the telly just said).I hope you're feeling OK,and poor Dave with his "MAN"flu.
 
Hello all, winning - hope you are better soon Carol, Dave, Kirsty, Doug. Shanen, Trysha, and Sandy and Robert stay healthy. Still doing year end, month end and whatever else that might pop up, but still kicking

Happy to see you again Grumpy! Still stuck in the "end of" zone myself. Hoping to have my head above it all fairly soon. In the meantime I get the win. :rosette1:
 
I'm warming the leek and tattie soup in the crock pot on low,and I'll put the cheese and garlic bread in the oven in good time,maybe some spicey wedges too.
So if you're coming make it snappy or the left-overs will go in the freezer.

I'll be right over,I love leek and tattie soup! I also like fish and chips,with brown sauce for dipping.I'll sit in the garden by myself and eat so I don't get anyone sick.What's for firsts? Will there be porridge for breakfast? I'll bring the honey...or I could just touch each bowl before it is served to sweeten it up. :ylol:

No firsts,but apple sponge and/ or custard for afters. But hurry up,if you're coming,I'm starving (pred)
 
On my way-----hurrying fast before Dave gets there and its all gone----
Winning
 
Did you see the Beagle was found on Mars - years after it had been thought lost.

Anyway the football is on - so talk amongst yourselves.
 
Yes Robert, I did
Did you know the Hadron collider is starting up again in April...very exciting can't wait to see events
There have been many medical spin offs from the collider research---such as MRI and CAT scans to name a few
Don't know what people see in football----------
Winning,,,,,,,,........
 
Today is a great American football day...or a great day for napping...because we get to see who will play the Patriots in the Superbowl. As a point of interest I recently watched the All Ireland Senior Hurling Championship games between Tipperary and Kilkenny.That's a pretty cool sport.

The Patriots and myself have something in common today...Winning!!!
 
I am happy to say I am feeling better. I'm still sleeping an disturbing amount of time. I'm listening to my body and it seems to want a lot of rest.

I am fine in the morning through mid day. Early afternoon I start fading fast and am ready for bed by 7 or 8. Not that anyone asked, mind you...I must be feeling better because I am at work on my lunch break using my phone to write this when I should be eating my lunch.

Win!!!
 
I'm officially getting old..........Today I bought a thermal door curtain !!!!

But I'm nice and toasty......and winning.
 
Then you lived in exalted company Duckie....something to quack a about
Winning-------
 
winning before I go to the shops and the hairdressers.Lots of black ice on the roads and pavements (sidewalks) and not a gritter to be seen.If I fall and need to go to A & E there'll be complaints that I'm a pest to the N.H.S...........
 
No it has not Robert------i am here
Sadly it seems to be the case Carol
It is time people stood up to the government who have created a mess of the NHS
Talking of icy roads there is a substance called brine solution being sprayed to melt the ice here
Seems to be pretty effective but does not appear to deal with a heavy snowfall
Still need armies of snow plows
Hope you had a good day with no sliding
Winning-------

If I was short on things to comment about - it could be the whining from the dark side.

Trysha they use the brine solutions where I live. I'm not always sure on the effectiveness versus the mess it creates. I also wonder if the additional salt will take it's tolls on our road surfaces and additional rust appearing more quickly on our vehicles. In the end...it's still slippery!
 
Hi Shane
You would be right in thinking thus......the roads here are full of potholes
when the spring melt occurs
Winning,,,,,,,,,,,
 
Trysha, they make the brine solution where I live! The Great Salt Lake has both the brine and the salt.
 
Patience is a virtue--find it if you can,
Seldom in a woman..never in a man.........
Very interesting Doug about the brine----do they have a pipeline to transport it
to Eastern Canada? Or is it sent by train
Winning,,,,,,,,,,
 
My pickling recipe for gherkins takes three days to make but it's worth it. I once pickled 40 kg of gherkins. I kept our village in supply for a year.
 
I like gherkins,thinly sliced.Also Suarkraut occassionaly.


Quick win,back later......and remember folks, NEVER take a laxative and a sleeping pill together.
 
Good morning Everyone......
The sun is shining brightly the day is cold
