Hey all! My turn to win!

Got a doctor update today. My GI wants me to have a MRI done soon becasue he wants to see if the Humira is healing this fistula. He also is concerend that my infection levels are going back up after they had come way down. He may up my Humira dose to once a week instead of every other week. I meet with the surgon on the 20th (so I will have the MRI before then) and he thinks that if I have to have surgery, then it is possible that it could be done laproscoply instead of an open surgery. My GI tells me that this surgon is one of the leading surgons for Crohn's laperscopic surgery. They will also go ahead a take out the diseased portions of colon while they are working on the fistula. So I guess that is good and bad news.

Excellent GJ!!! So glad you will have laproscopic if you do. God is good and answers prayer. But lets still hope for none at all! :heart:
 
HI Sandy - I am okay - but I am a bit peaky today and very tired - no doubt from adjusting to my first week at work - which I thoroughly enjoyed! I walk 20 mins from car to building. So I am now getting 40min exercise per day which is 40 mins more than I was getting before :D

Yesterday we took Teesha to the vet - she was acting like a cat with crohns = D and blood in stools - but she didn't have a temp and it could be virus - or IBS. THe vet confirmed she is like a munchkin i.e. she has the dwarf gene in her legs. SHe also has to lose 2 kgs and she is not very happy about that. The first thing she did at the vets was to look all nice and cute and as the vet patted her, she nipped the vet :D

Little stinker, she is! sounds cute! What was the diagnosis?
 
Hey you guys, I started a new thread called, "What was your best day"? Plzgo on and tell eveyone what was the best day you ever had. I thought it would be fun. It is under members forum. Thanx!!! Read this plz!!!!!:kiss::)
 
Teesha has boiled chicken to settle her tum down. If she is still bad then we can get more tests done. Teesha appears ok, but she wants her bikkies not the boiled chicken. The next step is to up the food modification programme that we have been doing. We feed her the right amount, but now we have to put food down and then pick it up after 5 mins so she learns to have 2 meal times a day and needs to eat - then we can stop her grazing. If that dont work then we need to put her on a special food diet.
 
Sounds like a good plan. My sister had to do that with her dog. First when she got her, she was underweight, she is a Newfoundland and they said to gain 30 lb. Well the piggy weighs 130 now so time to lose some. She is having trouble going for walks now!!!

Animals have their own way of working themselves into our hearts - sometimes because they are little stinkers. mine is trying to get her you by clawing up a blanket. oops, just gave up and making a nest in the blanket.

got your pm, T!
Hi ladies! just shot Doug, Kirst!
 
it's funny how our animals can take on our infirmity. mine is just getting old and arthritic - and chases things that aren't there. I swear it is some type seizure. (and she is growling right now like I do.)

does yours cook, Kirsty?
 
I've been thinking of making one ever since Kirsty mentioned making one. maybe tomorrow. I make a mean cake, if I say so myself. (so myself. there, I said it.)
 
723crossroads said:
so Kirsty, what's baking?
Click to expand...

Cheese and Silverbeet filled loaf

500 g cream cheese
1 c grated cheese
1 onion finely chopped
3 leaves silverbeet chopped – or frozen chopped spinach/silverbeet (if comes in blocks I use about 3 blocks per loaf – a 500g packet of frozen silverbeet will do 3-4 loaves)
Mix all together

Cob or vienna loaf
Slice top off loaf
Scoop out bread inside
Fill with above mixture
Put lid back on and bake in slow oven (about 100c) 1 hour.

I often remove the lid about half way through cooking so it doesn’t burn. Spread the bread that was removed from inside the loaf around the tray and bake with the loaf. This, and the lid are also used along with the crust of the loaf as dippers for the cheese and silverbeet filling.


THat's what we had for tea :D
 
Have you talked to bug today? She's ahd a rough one. All over her move, the inlaws are making her feel like sh is doing something wrong. Taking their boy away from them!!!:ywow:Grow up people! Get a life!:dance:
 
Wolf trys to help with cooking - he stands on a stool and peers on the bench to see what I am doing.:D

We have a skunk that hangs around the church at night. It has scared me a few times, but thankfully I was in the car both times. It likes to hide around the water drains and it big! I sure don't want to mess with it!

SANDY'S CHRISTMAS EVE PARTY

Well Sandy I am looking forward to the party - did we agree who is doing what? I guess the A team will not be expected to do any work - plus can you allocate us the best chairs?

I think you invited everyone, but there a probably a few people would might cause trouble - so you could think again about:

Teresa, Marcia, Dee and Dusty. We need to think about Cheryl, Carol and Angel. I guess everyone else is welcome.

The A team will need a quiet area where we can chill out away from the baying mob.

I am bringing plenty of mistletoe - so you are in for a treat ladies.

Poor, delusional Robert. Sigh.
 
Cultured? You are really gonna try and go there? Oh that's right, the A team goes UNDER the tables...
 
Well I have to admit I've had a really good laugh with the banter between Dusty and Trev,really good peeps.That's what we need,more laughter......Robert,as we may be the only Brits to go to Sandy and Dougs,we should really travel together or people might think we don't get on,and that could cause a bad atmosphere.I've got a spare pair of flight socks I could lend you and I know which cutlery to use.I assume we'll be going 1st,or at the very least business ?Please let me know and I will dress accordingly.
 
I had high hopes for you making the A team once - hard to believe I know. Now get back to work and start planning what my present will be.

Recently lost all fish due to filter meldown. Had a tank full of nasty oversized cichlids. Right now I have a 14 inch plecostomus, couple of catfish, 2 sharks, an eel, and a few randoms for colour and variety.

Hi, all. glad you remembered my party, and yes, we will ALL be there for Bug's party. All are invited to mine also. more coming later. I'm tired and ornery (no seizure though), but you all cheer me up. Doug told me about your comments. To reply, I just have to wake up a little more, and settle my stomach a little. I will be back with assignments later. they may have changed a little, but Kirsty is still cooking. Robert, Carol is bringing Alfie!
 
Wow eveyone must be out shopping, quiet day on the boards. Snowy day here today. Those big, puffy slow falling flakes.
 
Hi Spinny
Which recipe do you use for the rice crispies squares?
Is it the Kraft One/
Glad to see you looking better\Cheers!
