Sudokuaholics Anonymous 5

did I do it this time???

YEAH, a CP and TOPPS!

Good Luck Zusy, not that you will need it.

Hang tough, Suzy. It will be over soon.

We've had three afternoons of seriously hard rain.

I'm home! Internal stitches, external tape. The problem with being awake is you get to listen to the debate over 'distortion' of eyelids!!!

Feeling fine (except for my cold), but the anaesthetic hasn't worn off yet!

Thank you for your thoughts and wishes!!!

Next is Broni's turn - next Thursday.... only hers is bigger

First is my turn Suzy.
Monday, knee arthroscopy.
In at 7am, done about lunchtime, home about 4ish, same day all being well.
Then Broni, who has the big one.

Great to hear you are home and all went well Suzy.

Better go get tea organized, too cold to be sitting here in just a towel lol

Sorry Viv! Didn't realise yours was so soon....

Will be thinking of you on Monday.... Hope it goes really well, with good results!

Just reread your last post! Viv! In the nudey! Watch out or Gath will ban you....Wonder if I will get kicked out for that? Well my anaesthetic seems to be wearing off so I will just go and relax if I do get kicked out....

Glad to hear you are home Suzy. Glad it all went well.
All the best for Monday Viv.
And for you Broni on Thursday.
Flowers for all

Hi Gail
I definitely have to go and feel sorry for myself now. Bring on the pain killers!!! Not going to tough it out tonight....

Have a good evening one and all................

Have some drugs Suzy, it will help!!!

Hi Gail and Suzy
He eheh elol Suzi I had a towel on.!!!!
Hope your drugs have kicked in.

SUZY and ELISE, it was FRIDAY, and I remember reading much earlier that Fridays were clothing optional in Sudokuland! A towel is a nice compromise.

It is good we cannot SEE each other sitting at the computer. I am here in my sleep shirt and underpants. shirt does not quite cover my ample backside when I sit. Hair has not yet been brushed, I will be shampooing when I get my shower, AFTER my coffee, which I am drinking as I read the board. It is early, I am not completely awake, so there!

SUZY, glad it went well, and do make good use of the pain medication, the first 24 hours are the worst. You can begin to wean yourself off the drugs after then. Keep ahead of the pain, it is easier to prevent pain than to get rid of it after it is full blown pain.

I am so glad for my biggie spot removal on my face that surgeon was not too talkative. but i was not really listening. I went to my safe place and left them to do thier work. Nurse more than once drug me back by asking, are you OK? guess I was a bit too quite and still hehe. I told her I was going to sleep, that is easier than explaining relaxation and visulization to most people.

OH NO, no coffee pot today, someone stole my coffee pot and ALL my smilies!



The regualr ones are here, but I get the message, you have no smilies loaded, boo hoo!

YEAH, close down, come back, and gues s what?? SMILIES again, so now, we have coffee this morning.

I have a return appointment with doc this morning, results of whatever tests are in and talk about some of the things we did not get to talk about before. Hope he is not too very late today!

One more for a CP, since I am this close!

Good morning all! Haven't been here because couldn't get on the internet. After days of "fixing" the problem and it not being fixed, hubby had a message from work that the Zone Alarm was blocking the internet. I don't know why it did it all of a sudden, but it is removed for now.

Hope all is well with everyone. Suzy, hope you are feeling better!

Bryana called this morning from a pay phone. She's doing well, but I think the kids are a little bored because they were told not to go off exploring, so they hang out in the Plaza and eat ice cream. She requested chicken wings for dinner when she gets home in a couple of weeks. She misses our food.

Meghan emailed last night and she is overextending herself in Cairo. She hasn't been feeling well, she thinks she ate something that was washed in water. Her internship at the Daily Star Egypt isn't what she was told it would be. She thought she would be shadowing a reporter, since she only speaks a little arabic. They want her to do interviews and write articles. That's good for her resume, but it requires a tremendous amount of time and work and she doesn't like to do anything halfway. She also has her classes at the Language Institute, so she has no time to see the sights or even eat and sleep. Her boyfriend is supposed to visit her in August after her classes end, so she'll see the sights then. My biggest worry that between not feeling well and not having time to really eat a good meal, she will lose more weight. She is very thin already, she can't afford to lose weight.

Well, time for breakfast. Have a great day!

Gday Stella, good to have you back.
As a parent of slightly older children, I can only say, try not to worry too much. They are getting an chance they may never have had and everything that happens to them all goes on the list of life's experiences.
I wish them all the best and hope they gain valuable life lessons from it all.

Thanks Gail!

Bless you Stella.

Haven't said hello here for a few days...what with it being to cold to get out of bed one day [of course it had nothing to do with the book I was reading] and then taking an excursion to Cockatoo...life is very busy.

Glad to hear that your surgery went well Suzy and that you are continuing to improve Tricia.
Hope the winds let up and that they don't blow Rolanda's van over. Will catch up over the weekend.
Ciao for now.

Hey Bean, you were #2626!

Recieved the link from Meghan for her first article published in the Daily Star Egypt newspaper. http://www.dailystaregypt.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=14981

Well done Meghan!
Your 'Aunty Gail' is very proud of you
...and also very tired!
What am I doing up at this time?!
Night all, catch you later today!

Long post lost to cyber space again. Phoooey!

Backto my doc today, I am reasonably healthy for an old broad. I had a sore thumb injected, it is even more sore now, oh dear. Have one new Rx doe a vitamine D supplement, and one more test he wants, everythng else so far was a passing grade. Even my cholesterol is good, guess what I feed hubby and eat myslef is doing it's job.

I have to wear my thumb brace for about a week, to imobolize it. makes typing a pain. somehow, moving piinter finger makes thumb hurt. now i would not mind the brace, but I have a 25 pound box of peaches that were given to me and some of them demand immediate attention. huumm, tomorrow we will try a plastic bag over that hand.

HOPE Suzy is sleeping soundly with pain meds on board her tonight.

Im a bit late is coffee still on MizT will bring choccies with me I doing chores around the house like washing & vacuming yuk

Hey MizT, sorry to hear about your thumb, but can you pick up the choccies??? Snorting them through your nose may be a tad erkky but if all else fails!!!!

Hey Mary from t'otherside

I have one hand that works correctly, so unless we are talking the maximum, super industrial strength, 2 handed kind of choccies, I am ready to go! Sore thumb hand is better now, I remembered what another doc once told me when doing injections into the bursa around a joint, needs to be ICED 3X a day. Icing did help a lot!

is there any other type of choccie???

surely ice IN the vodka would provide more pain relief?

Hi Mary From Tother side hows the weather? Fine here rain comming so we hear

Must be TOPP

I will cp till I get it

Its gotta be now
