Just a hard time all around.

I think it is unlikely that dAN will be able to visit the Watch for the foreseeable future so I will try and post updates on his condition.

gosh i'm really sorry to hear about dAN's health issues. what's happened to his sight? and sorry to hear about his dad and your Aunt Betty. give him a hug for me, won't you. we haven't talked for years now but there was a time I considered us close friends. tell him my phone number hasn't changed and if he needs an ear, i'll be quiet and listen and not argue for the universe.

(that might make him chuckle) <3

ps...it's been 31 days since I had a smoke folks!! WOOT!

Thanks, Luci.
I will let him know.
He has been having issues for about a year now, getting progressively worse. He has a couple of doctor appointments coming up that will hopefully identify his condition and offer a treatment. Fingers crossed.

Waiting for a diagnosis is so stressful. I hope they figure it out quickly.

Also stressful and frustrating when one has a major episode, only to have all the medical folks tell you it is "idiopathic"; a ten-dollar word for "we don't know what happened..."

Yes, it is comforting that the episodic crisis was dealt with and all is now well...but WTF caused it and how might one avert a reprise??

True that SD

Modern medicine is pretty amazing, but doctors don't always know as much as they think they do and they hate admitting when they're wrong. Never be afraid to ask for a second opinion.

Just a general observation, not directed at anyone in particular. (Spent 6 months in 2007 being told I absolutely did not have a condition that my family has a history of. Absolutely did have it.)

Oh no ... not good at all

bloody teeth whod have em? Hopefully youll feel better soon

Post by **Sorus** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:29 pm

I'm halfway convinced that teeth are a scam. Had that tooth nightmare again a couple of nights ago. And then last night, had a work dream where I basically went through the entire day and expected it to be Wednesday when I woke up. But no, bonus Tuesday. There ought to be a law.

All I'll say is as someone with full upper and lower dentures, do what you can to keep your teeth in healthy condition.

Post by **Sorus** » Wed Jul 03, 2019 10:01 pm

Sometimes the darn things are just a time bomb. I got bad tooth genes from both sides of my family. Always treated them well. Until I was 27, aside from a single cavity, the only issue I'd had was with my wisdom teeth. Then when I hit 27, the warranty on my teeth and health in general must have expired, because it's been downhill ever since.

This was me, as well. I even mentioned I wanted to be able to afford having my teeth totally worked on long before I knew I needed dentures at the first elohimfest I attended.

awww Sorus... that sucks .. dumbass dental warrantys

But youd be surprised how tuff gums can become

so theres always a fallback

Dumbass body warrantys

between ageing and warranty expirations staying fit and healthy is ever challenging.. but definitely worth the effort.

One day medical science will get sooo good at curing everything that we will likely end up living forever

now that would be something to worry about ..

Love n hugz sweet Sors

Keep on keeping on as best as ya can

Well, teeth still doing fine luckily, rest of me not so much. Been off sick last two days with this damn flu, quite a bad one. Back at work today, trying desperately to catch up...
