I'll have to show your posts to C about his birthday, I told him yesterday we were all meeting in Chicago and he said well that's a little creepy a bunch of parents sitting around talking about their kids' poo!! :blush:

Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes! :D
 
crohnsinct, thought you might need a laugh today. Thought of you when I saw this!

:rof::rof::rof:

When I picture crohnsinct, that's how she looks. :eek2:



Where is crohnsinct????
Could it be she has a life outside of this forum????:confused2:
 
LMAO...I posted that one the other day...still makes me smile.
Wine is cheaper than therapy...don't judge ;)
(I'm with crohnsinct on this one)
And she's been away 5 hours...give a girl a break-she's sleeping off her last bender!
 
:eek2: A life without us? No way! :eek2: She's just keeping us in suspense!

Hey, I'm up for a glass of wine anytime. Couldn't watch an Alabama football game without one! In fact, I could really use one right now! Just finished watching about 10 high school bands perform and trying to keep the audience quiet. I've gotten lots of ugly looks tonight. I started out trying to nicely explain about being quiet and ended up :kissgrits:
 
:ylol::ylol: Very good quote! Was just thinking last night that it's probably a good thing I don't really drink at the moment (too many calories when trying to lose 3 stone)! The way things are going at the moment, I would be soaking up the wine.
 
My daughter was in a soccer tournament a couple of years ago, our field was directly behind a high school's football field and we were at that field ALL day... the high school band was practicing :eek: We (loudly) heard the same songs over and over and over and over...!!! :ybatty: I soooo could've used some wine that day! :lol:
 
At least it was different bands, not much song repetition. It was the "chaperoning" that wasn't so much fun. :ymad: People can be so rude. And after 5 hours on my feet, I was ready to teach them some manners! Our band, being the host, played last. So the natives were restless during our performance :(

Tess, you should come listen to practice at my house! When you hear only one instrument, you only get parts of the songs. I love the saxophone, but can be reminiscent of having an elephant trapped in the house!
 
I've never been in this thread before, thought it might be a good place to post: I'm bored! I've applied for 5 jobs this week (good for me as there isn't much around). Looks like I'm about to be the last one out of my uni friends to get a graduate job. SO fed up!!!
 
xX_LittleMisssValentin_Xx :)eek:That's a long name...How did ya choose that one??)

I feel for ya.
My lttle sis has a degree that only one other in our university has. Lots of hard work to finished. She now sits at a desk and rents out apartment.:yfaint: However she's just happy to have a job that pays good and we're all happy to have her and her little girl live by us.:thumleft:

I hope you have fun looking around this thread.
Just remember most of us parents were sleep deprived, stressed out and yes some of them were drinking and typing.:sign0085:
 
xX_LittleMissValentine_Xx I feel your pain, my daughter is in college now and feels so uncertain about her major. The things she is passionate about don't hold many prospects for jobs and she has already switched majors in an effort to be in a more employable field when she graduates, but she isn't happy. It is just such a sad economy for young people trying to get their foothold in a career! I hope something works out for you real soon!!
 
Well hello LMV!

I have been wondering how you have been getting on since graduating. :hug: I hope you find something soon hun. I will have everything crossed and will send loads and loads and loads of luck your way!...:goodluck:

:hang:

OMG! LMFAO!!!

Sitting listening to the radio and on comes an old Tony Orlando and Dawn song. Can you guess which one???...

Candida!!! :rof:

Perhaps this should be the first in a repertoire of IBD songs!

I'mmmmmm Baaaaacccckkk! (read with Jack Nicholson voice from the Shining)

Sorry about the break...life got in the way and actually only on for a few minutes tonight. Maybe over the wekend I will get caught up.

JMK: love the pic but really girls when I drink my pole keeps me steady on the dance floor!!!

And btw I AM working on that Chicago trip!
 
:rof::rof::rof:

crohnsinct, Glad you're back, if only for a few minutes! I am glad that things are going well and you can be living fully!

I could use a glass myself after the day I have had. Thought I'd share with you ladies just in case anyone else had a crazy day! This is the story I posted on Facebook: (Sorry for the length, but it's a funny story!)

By now, most of my Facebook friends have seen my post about the cat. What a day! So for my Honest October (see my other posts), I want to share with you what I will call the Treed Cat Caper!

Yesterday, I heard a cat meowing all day, but could not find it. My neighbor Kathy came over and said that her cat had been missing for a few days and was up a tree in Gena's yard. We tried talking it down,
then Gena tried talking it down, then all of the kids tried talking it down. No luck! So we went to bed hoping it would find it's way down over night.

First thing this morning I received a text from Gena. The cat was still meowing in the tree. So off to school with Ryan who said he would not get anything done today for worrying about that cat in that tree! I reassured him it was coming down...now why did I do that? Because I'm a Mom obsessed with worrying about a flare! Set myself up, huh? Gena went for a run and I tried to do some work. We agreed to meet out there after her run. I met up with neighbor David and we stood there trying to think of a way to get it down. No ideas, so back in the house to work. While Gena was running, I decided to do some internet sleuthing on getting a cat down and posted on Facebook for ideas.

We might have been inclined to leave it alone to come down on its own except for the circling hawks. We were flapping our arms to shoo them away as they circled the tree. They could hear the cat and smell the tuna. We were not about to have a wildlife program about predator and prey going on in Gena's front yard. So let's just see....hmmm, food at the base of the tree....Gena and I put a can of tuna in a bowl. I threw a rope over a limb and we hoisted the food up into the tree. It got stuck on a small limb. Picture this....Gena got a ladder and went up to move the small limb keeping the bowl from moving. I am under her holding the ladder and she tilts the bowl. Bam! Now we are both covered in tuna standing under a tree talking to a cat and giving it climbing instructions! I HATE tuna! Now I have to say that the cat did come down about 10 feet for all the effort.

During all of this, my neighbor Kathy (who actually owns the cat) is calling tree services to get the cat down. Finally, she calls that Lee Montz is on his way to get the cat down (THANK YOU BARBARA)! So I go in to grab some lunch and one bite into my sandwich, he shows up. I don gloves and a pet carrier and we head across the street. 4 people on the ground directing and Lee in a bucket, the chase is on! The cat, not being a people person, dodges every effort to be rescued. Lee is probably sea-sick from moving around in that bucket, but he continues his pursuit. Up, down, all around...until finally the cat, who we have discovered can climb both UP AND DOWN just fine, jumps from the tree and runs like H*%@ for home.

So the cat is down, the tree guy's gone fishing and I am sitting here, smelling like tuna, telling you about the Treed Cat Caper! What a crazy day!
 
Thanks for the support guys! Its hard, just have to find a way to keep going and stay positive! To be honest I'm fairly happy staying in all day and working on my hobbies (knitting, crochet and music). If it wasn't for the worry of my bank balance and in the back of my mind knowing I want to use my degree.
Farmwife - I think I chose that name at about 17/18 and I had been on other forums with so many members that they all used to put characters around their names (these forums were mostly populated by teenage girls!). I thought that looked pretty! But yeah it is long, for the purpose of tagging I have LMV set as my nickname thing!!

And I love the story about the cat - glad he is ok, I love cats! :)
 
:rof::rof::rof: Oh my the "The Treed Cat Caper" has me in stitches!!! You should turn that into a childrens book!!! Ahhh...I have tears rolling from the laughter! :rof::rof::rof:

(Leave me in my bubble:ymad:)

Oh so many song come to made.
How about that drinking song from a couple decades ago- Burning all the way down.:cool2:

I heard one on a commercial- I never wanted to be here.:sign0085:
 
Well hush my puppies and prune my magnolia's! Aren't I the muddled headed wombat! I never knew that Farmwife...:wink:

Dusty. :lol:
 
Hi guys,

I know I said I was back but this personal trauma I am dealing with is taking a bit more of my attention and time than I had anticipated. I so desperately just want to spend a day in bed with my laptop getting caught up with you all but right now I am needed elsewhere.

I hope everyone is doing well and want you all to know that you are in my prayers and thoughts everyday even if I am not on here giving you a hard time and sharing my virtual drinks.

Hugs to you all until I can get back on!
 
Hey, you just take care of what you need to (hope it's nothing too serious!)! :ghug: We're certainly not going anywhere and will be saving the 'cheers' :cheerss: until your return! :D
 
Yeah what's a virtual glass of wine without you, crohnsinct, we'll just remain sober and responsible until you return!! :ylol2: Bahahaha...did I say that with a straight face?
 
I'll be praying for you to have strength through this trying time.:kiss:


Don't worry about getting away for awhile. I'll do my best to destroy :voodoo:your influence on this forum and slowly fill in your gap.:D
Evil master plan at work.:dance:
 
Oh my goodness crohnsinct...:hug:...I hope everything is okay and you are soon able to overcome the trauma you are facing.

Thinking of you and sending healing thoughts your way...:Karl:

Further to the mention of the beloved jelly babies in another thread...

Jelly-Babies_Lge.jpg


Who loves the delectable chocolate flavoured chicos!...

CHICOS.jpg


Nom, nom, nom...:lol:
 
On a random note - I was woken up last night (or morning) at 4.15am by the doorbell. Thinking it was a drunk person got the wrong house or something, I carefully peeked out the window. Imagine my shock when I saw a police car sitting outside (no they hadn't come for me ;)). Popped downstairs half asleep and spoke to the policemen. Apparently they were looking for the son of the woman who sold us the house. I wonder what he has done! :eek2:
 
DustyKat, I'll keep my beloved jelly beans and gummy worms. :ymad:I LOVE the sour ones.:thumleft: Yummy. But I will take the choc chicos.:thumleft:

Sascot I'm sooooo glad every thing was OK. I remember a story of a cop going to a house to tell the lady her son was killed in a car accident. The neighbor lady rushes over as the cop is talking to lady, to comfort her best friend. This lady's son pulls up alive and well. The cop calls dispatch and relieves he got the wrong house. The the cop looks at the neighbor lady and say sorry maim I have some bad news. CAN YOU IMAGEN!!!:eek:
 
OMG! That story is awful Farmwife!

I don't know what I would think if a police car pulled up at 4 in the morning...yikes! But I will tell y'all I also got woken up at around 3 or 4 by some horrid banging noise. I woke up looked out the back window and one of my neighbors was turning on all their outside lights. Then the brave thing was walking around. Now that I knew it wasn't a drunken stupor I thought it was safe to wake hubby and make him go downstairs and turn on our outside lights...still don't know what the noise was about.
 
Sascot... Wow, you've got me curious now!!! They wouldn't tell you what happened?

Farmwife... OMG, that is terrible!!! I can't believe police would make that mistake... I'm not sure I'd ever get over a mistake of being told news like that, and the poor neighbour:(!

I had a case of mistaken 'identity' once... I was in my early 20s and dating a guy called John Doe (he had a fairly common Portuguese surname and my maiden name was very common, the Portuguese equivalent to 'Smith'). One afternoon, while I was out, two very upset Portuguese women came to our house, a mother and daughter, asking to speak with me. As I was out, my mom asked them to come in and wait. While they were all waiting for me, the two women began crying and begging my mom to help them with their problem. They asked if I was dating John Doe, my mom said yes. They then explained that John Doe was the daughter's husband and that they had two young children. The daughter talked about her heartbreak, that she didn't want him to leave her and the children, etc., etc. I show up, clueless to what's going on, and find my mother and these two women bawling, and all three of them looking at me like I'm less than scum! :lol: My mother's saying that there's no way I could've have known and her eyes are pleading with me to say that this is, in fact, true! :ywow:... It took a while before the three of them could actually explain what they were talking about; apparently, the husband and mistress had the same names as my boyfriend and I! :eek: I don't they they were convinced until I showed them a picture of my John Doe. Naturally, they were very apologetic! :yfaint:

O.K. yeah sure Tess..if that is the story you want us to stick to I will oblige! That bubble has been around longer than we thought!
 
Oh, Tess you poor mom. :smile:Wait hold on, why didn't your mom try to defend you?:yfaint: Interesting.:ymad:
 
Yes, my poor mom! :cry: She thought that I had been lied to by my boyfriend (although, I did sense a slight quiver of desperation as if she thought I 'may' have been capable of doing that! :lol:) But, OMG, amazing what problems mistaken identities can cause! :yfaint:

I have another funny/sad 'marriage' story... I live in my happy bubble but, all around, seems like bombs are going off! :lol:

When I was about 16 or 17, a friend worked at a gas station. She was away for a weekend and asked me to fill in for her. Saturday morning, this good looking blonde guy in a purple corvette (not an easily forgotten guy! :D) and pays for his gas on his Visa card. After he drove away, I realized I had run it through on a MasterCard slip. I panicked thinking that my friend would get in trouble because the station wouldn't be able to collect the payment, etc. so I looked his name up in the phone book.

His wife answered the phone and I explained what happened... She was very nice and said not to worry, she would send him back so I could rerun the card. She then asked when he'd been by and where the station was. When I told her, she asked me to describe him :eek:... apparently, he was supposed to be away on business for the weekend and NOT in the city! :eek: Not sure if he ever came back to rerun the charge!

NEVER lie, you will be caught! :ybatty:
 
:lol: to this day I feel bad abt the blonde guy and his wife! Especially as my friend later told me it any of the slips cud be used for any card so there hadn't even been a need for me to call! :eek:
 
Tess, Don't feel bad! You may have saved that woman from years of deception!:thumleft:

Poppet's Mom, you must have been watching Dumb and Dumber last night too!!!:roflanim:


While we're telling cop stories....last year I had a police officer show at my door looking for me. Apparently I had written a check for $1.39 in college that bounced....(many, many, many years ago) and he was there to let me know!:emot-cop: Really? Isn't gas like $3.60/gallon? What in the world? Boy, was that convenience store behind on it's billing!
 
JMK Really?:rof::rof::rof:

Not much real crime in your area that the police have time to hunt that ridiculous claim down...oh yeah forgot you live in the bucolic country,
 
^^^ ditto to Crohnsinct's comments ^^^

I can't believe they 'came after you' for that! Are you sure you haven't been profiled on America's Most Wanted! :lol:

I think he just wanted your number!:tongue:
 
Crohnsinct, Yes we are in the country. Yee Haw! :kissgrits: But you know it's a college town and we do have a some crime (drunk and disorderly, hit and run, public nudity LOL...).

We did have a man take an automatic rifle into a bar and shoot 10 people about 2 months ago. Shocking in a country town. Everybody blames it on those crazy college kids!

So the cop could have found something better to do with his time, but what he did was nice actually. He saved me the embarrassment of being arrested over a buck! :eek2: :eek2: He said that if I had been pulled over, they would have arrested me. He even tried to pay it for me, but they wouldn't let him! It's the police station/court system that was being ridiculous.
 
Crohnsinct, Just come on down! We can go out and make SURE that we drink that bubble right back into place for good! :beerchug: You know I've got this friend...he's a :emot-cop: cop...he can get us out of trouble! :emot-dance::emot-dance:
 
:rof: As always - this thread cheers me right up!
Well everyone, I am off to Amsterdam for a short break (will be back on Friday, so no one panic)
I am going to have a little adventure and hopefully both the kids can have some fun and not think about being not well!!
Of course I just looked up the weather and it's raining there as well :ybatty:
 
Aw Sascot! have a great time. I hope the kids are relatively well and can have some good fun times with their mamma! Can't promise things won'y disintegrate rapidly around here and I am not talking about our kiddo's health either.
 
::cheers: Yay for a break! Have a great time Sascot! At least the rain will give you an excuse to make the kiddos rest a little and maybe you can get some too!


We will try to keep the forum under control (Crohnsinct :ycool:)! I said TRY... OK, so maybe we'll just try to keep it to a minimum :headbang: :headbang:
 
Oh, lucky you, Sascot! "Just heading off to Amsterdam for a few days!" That sounds like so much fun! ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY!! :D
 
Totally off topic anything we've discussed here... :)

Question for anyone??? maybe Dusty or Kimmidwife??? My doctor just called and said that I've got to take care of my fibroids 'now'- apparently, just dealing with the symptoms isn't going to cut it anymore :ymad: She said my hgb and ferritin can't stay at this level (hgb 83, ferritin 5). She thinks ablation (a minor surgery that she'd briefly mentioned last year) would resolve the problem and wants me to follow up with my gynecologist. Do you have any knowledge/experience with ablation? Is there much of a recovery? Would you have any concerns about doing it before our vacation (over New Years) or should I hold off until January? :)
 
I'm NOT Dusty or Kimmidwife but I has it done a year and a half ago.
The whole surgery lasted an hour. Recovery time was quick. One to two days IF that.
You just make sure to rest when you need to and take your pain meds to help.
However I still started 2 weeks later. Some women go years without out a period.
Many are drastically better. My next step is a hysterectomy but my OBGYN said I was a bit young for that so let's do this one first. Glad I did!!!! My life was given back to me during that time of the month.

Click to expand...

OMG, you understand! :worthy: It's been brutal at times! :lol:

Okay, so, if I can get it scheduled for November, shouldn't be a concern at all by Christmas! :)

But, really, you got your period back after two weeks! Ugghh :ymad: Is it, at least, much lighter?
 
Can't comment on the op.

But hemoglobin and ferritin are way to low, there at the levels where iron influsion are considered. Those levels would most likely giving you symptoms.
 
Yes it is lighter and little to no pain. But I had to make the hard decision not to have more kids. I wanted a big family (4-8 kids). But the OBGYN said caring kids with these problems would be risky and we already lost twins when I was 6mo. pregnant. I didn't want to go through that again. So I a mommy to two beautiful kids and an involved aunt to 5 kids and have two in heaven.
 
:ghug: :ghug: Oh my gosh, Farmwife, I'm so sorry you had to make such a heartbreaking decision. :( And am so sorry about your twins! :( :ghug:


Catharine - yes, literally, since the nurse called with some 'urgency', I've been feeling very light headed! :ybatty: :lol:

But, seriously, in hindsight, I can see symptoms I hadn't associated with anaemia (dumb as I should certainly know the symptoms!). My muscles seem weak/fatigued and I'm short of breath with just a bit of exertion but I just thought I was out of shape and had to get to the gym more often. Two weeks ago, I went on a hike and was barely able to make it up a 'moderate' hill. That actually freaked me out a bit as I'd never felt like that! Could barely catch my breath and my heart was racing but, again, thought it was due to a combination of the tail end of fall allergies, that I was in even 'worst' shape than I'd thought and that I was still getting over a chest cold. But, really, it did seem to just feel 'wrong'. :eek:
 
Yuck! Sorry to hear about the surgery Tess and that you have been suffering for so long. It never ceases to amaze me how a mother can put off her own health and endure such discomfort so she can take care of her kids. No experience her but good luck!

Farmwife:ghug::ghug:
 
You're so right, crohnsinct!

Funny... Friday evening, I was with my friend whose daughter also has crohns, she was telling me about her own health issues and I was saying 'are you nuts, get yourself to a doctor! :lol:

Our kids always come first! Even when it comes to cupcakes, eh! ;)
 
Won't comment on the op itself.

But if the op fixes the anemia which it should, you should be feeling much better of Christmas.
 
Let's face it:shifty: the last thing we want is to be sitting in a doc office for US!
I pushed back my surgery twice and also pushed back the follow up apt. with the surgeon.:ywow:
Yes, I'm bad. I'll try to do better, next year.:ytongue:
 
Seriously people! In my hour of need and two days and not one funny discussion?! :yfrown: Where the heck is Angie? Tell her to quick post about Izzi and maybe you will all find some sort of nonsense to go on about.
 
Tess - my mom has known quite a few people who had the ablation and never had anyone with any issues with it. I believe the recovery is reasonably quick as these things go. Make sure you rest properly for a couple days!!
Farmwife - sorry to hear about your twins. It certainly seems the two beautiful kids you do have are super special to keep your heart happy!
Well guys, I am back from Amsterdam - it is a great city and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The only drawback was Amy! I am becoming quite upset about her level of pain as well as the general reluctance of any medical staff to help her in any way :yfrown:. She woke up at 5am in the hotel in agony in her bottom - crying and actually asking for Calpol (which she hates). Seemed bad enough that I considered phoning a doc there. However she eased off after an hour and managed to get back to sleep. I feel so sorry for her.
On a lighter note - it was quite amusing seeing her face as we wandered the shops in Amsterdam (no where near the red light district of course :shifty-t:)
all the t-shirts, slippers, mugs, etc with Canabis leaves decorating them, and of course the slightly rude magnets, mugs etc. We walked past a Sex Museum - "sex throughout the ages" :ylol: - all she said was "Eeeeuw!"
 
OMGosh! Now you got me laughing...doesn't take much to get you girls on sex now does it!

Reminds me the other night my younger one wanted to hang in bed with hubby and I. She does that a lot and I just had it and said no she asked why and I said, "maybe daddy and I want some alone time" she ran screaming from the room...is that all it would have taken all these years?

Farmwife: write that one down that is totally adorable! Reminds me of I think poppets Amy after an internal exam, "he did THAT to me and all I got was a sticker" That one is a classic!

Sascot, welcome back. Sorry about Amy's pain but how funny about her reaction. Hey maybe we need to relocate the Poo Crew get together to Amsterdam? Maybe not...way to dangerous!
 
Tess: pretty sure I read once that your recovery will require no house cleaning or cooking for at least six weeks...just sayin'! But yes! Lots and lots o' wine! Antioxidants and all...wanna keep infection at bay!
 
:rof: Awww, you're going to miss her when she stops asking to hang out in bed with you! :)
 
OMG, YES! I like your 'recovery'!!! And, just to be safe... I should probably head down to Chicago to get some good fresh air during my recuperation period! I would probably need some of my friends there to make sure I don't have a xxx (OMG, blonde moment... what do you call it when someone gets sick while recovering?!?!? setback?? :lol: Another reason I need my friends with me! :D)

Well, I was going suggest YOUR place but, if I'm bringing all my friends here, thought we might ruin your reputation at home! There'd be a whole new show called Bunnies' Poo Poo, starring Farmwife! ;)


The ob-gyn hasn't called me back yet. They've always returned calls BUT it usually takes a couple of days (between work and Stephen's GI apptmt, I didn't call them till Thursday). Am planning to call back on Monday. If, because of timing, etc., it seems that doing it before the cruise isn't a good idea, the other option they'd given me was a progesterone IUD. I'm not crazy about that because of the hormones and the fact that my mom had uterine cancer years ago but, as a temporary measure, I think it would be fine (and then do the ablation in January).
 
No that's not the name!!!! :ywow:
It will have to be Moo-Moo's Poo-Poo. :D
:heart:We're a dairy farm after all.:heart:
 
RULES
No swearing
No drinking
No smoking
Y'all will have to bow when I walk into the room.

If y'all can follow those simple things, we're on!!!:D

Or y'all can go to Chicago and send me updates on how it's going.
Did I mentioned the GI might send Grace for a test in Chicago?:shifty:
 
Read this on Facebook and wanted to share it with you ladies....



Like tempered steel or glass, certain additives have been placed within you to increase your ability to stand up to the pressures life will throw at you. The fact that you’ve been exposed to this level of testing is a sign that God has given you the grace to handle it. He’s not going to let you escape this trial because He’s equipped you to deal with it. So stop feeling sorry for yourself, or giving up, or saying you can’t take it anymore. Not everybody in a gym can handle the same level of weight because each is at a different stage of development. But the trainer knows. He will push you to your limit, but he will never add one weight more than you can carry. God is a good trainer and He’s working according to a plan. He not only knows the right technique, He knows how much weight needs to be added in order to get you to the next stage of development. He will let you strain, shake, and sweat, but He won’t let you break.

Have a beautiful day!
 
That is a really lovely quote!
Farmwife - I am saving for my trip to Chicago, but can't bow to you I'm afraid - I have a bad back ;)
 
Hi girls, didn't realize until now that this thread was where the party was :emot-dance: :headbang: :pillowfight: :beerchug:

Tess, I accompanied a girlfriend to her uterine ablation, it was no biggie, she said the sedation aftereffect was the worst part. Very little pain and she was at work the next day.

Violet's at King's Dominion (amusement park) today with the Key Club, I am so happy about that. :D


Ok carry on :heart:
 
Cool kings dominion is a lot of fun.
Farmwife I am picturing dancing cows between their cow patties( poo poo)
What test in Chicago ?
I am ok with farm party 2012
Not heading to Chicago anytime soon.
Just no moon shine tesscorm could take the whole jug ...
Then we would be in a heap of trouble .
 
Farmwife said:

No drinking
No smoking
Y'all will have to bow when I walk into the room.

In other words NO FUN! Meet you in Chicago then! Hey look you will kill two birds with one stone...attend the Poo Crew Weekend AND get all our opinions when GI tells you the findings...don't worry we will set hime straight...as long as we can walk straght.

Holy Cow! I got progressive lenses today (zip it Farmwife...remember you have to respect your elders) and I feel permanently drunk. These things positively bite! They told me to give it three days,,,wonder if I start drinking if I will see better...probably worth a try...ya know in the scientific experimentation interest of things.

MLP,

The GI mentioned having Grace do a measurement of rectal pressure and motility.
He said only a few places have the know how to do these things. Chicago was one and Cleveland OH. was another place doing these.
Has anyone heard of this???:sign0085:
Sorry once he (GI) mentioned Chicago was brought up, my hubby and I went into shock and didn't get the full reason why.:shifty-t:


I agree NO MOONSHINE FOR TESSCORM OR ANY OF THEM.
But most of all NO FARMWIFE IN CHICAGO!!!:cool:

I would recommend Cincinnati children's if my child had to have Manometry.
That can be quite painful.
I really would ask what they intend to confirm with the test.
What are they fishing for ?
And get a second opinion Gi first ( including a scope)
They will do a records review there (cchmc) even without seeing her.

Cchmc has one of the top Gi programs as well as a top colorectal program if they are looking at motility disorders .
Pm me if you want any specific names etc...

Other place would be Boston children's - they are number one in the country.
Tests
How is Hirschsprung's disease diagnosed?
Your child’s physician will do an exam and then some or all of the following tests:
Abdominal x-ray — This can show a lack of stool in your child’s large intestine or near the anus as well swollen segments of the large and small intestine.
Barium enema — A procedure performed to examine the large intestine for abnormalities. A fluid called barium (a metallic, chemical, chalky, liquid used to coat the inside of organs so that they will show up on an x-ray) is given into the rectum as an enema.
This results in a clearer x-ray and gives your child’s doctor a better picture of what’s going on.
Anorectal manometry — A test that measures nerve reflexes. Since it’s the nerves that are affected in Hirschsprung's disease, this test will alert your child’s doctor to the possible presence of the disease.
Biopsy of the rectum or large intestine — Your child’s doctor takes a sample of the cells in your child’s rectum or large intestine and looks at them under a microscope.

Hope that helps

Oh MLP you did IT!!!:rosette2:

When she had the test on Friday right away the PA said it Doesn't"T look like Hirschsprung's disease. I bet that was what he was fishing for. I haven't posted on my thread but the PA said her colon looks fine enough? No tumors. YA.
Of course I feel the the problem is upper GI. I just wish she would clear out all the barium. Nothing but liquid is coming out. She's still happy for the most part, :shifty-t:besides the asthma, painful hiccups, belly pains and painful bum. Time to find my bubble!:rosette1:
 
Just before forewarned our uppergi with sbft they said " it looks normal and definitely doesn't have crohn's"

Sometimes those tests are not what they are cut out to be.
Good luck

You are one cheap date! Throw on a pair of bi-focals and you're groovin' up a storm with that pole! :yfaint:

jmckinley - thank you so much for that quote!!! It's beautiful! :rosette2:

Julie (imaboveitall) - so glad you've found the party!!! Was wondering where you were hiding... (now we know who has the moonshine! :blush: )
 
I do live in (though am NOT a native of) Virginia, near Franklin county the official moonshine capital. Really, they have tshirts declaring such. Is there a drunken smiley...:puke_r: nope hungover will have to do.
 
Unfortunately no "special" brownies here. I was told to look out for them, but maybe they were on side streets :shifty:.
Crohnsinct - you should have your eyes lasered like I did! Couldn't see someone's face clearly across the room but now I have better than 20/20 vision :ysmile:
You know I couldn't believe how open they were in Amsterdam about Cannabis (being that it's illegal in UK). Did you know the cannabis leaf is actually quite pretty and the t-shirts/jumpers/mugs/kids slippers :ywow:, were actually quite tasteful and had I not known what it was, I probably would have bought some of them!
 
Crohnsinct, I don't know about the switcheroo! I can see distance fine, but need glasses for up close and reading. I am finding it hard to see things in the car like my phone or gps. Might end up running off the road somewhere trying to switcheroo!

:luigi::luigi: WOO HOO! Moonshine and special brownies at the farm! Everybody wear your boots and bring a paper sack and a pillow case! We're going cow-tippin' and Snipe huntin'! Mr. Farmwife won't know what hit him! :emot-dance::emot-dance: Crohnsinct...those glasses might come in handy after all!

Will call Gi in the morning to see if there is anything to watch out for while on remicade.
