Good doctors are hard to find, and burn out fast. Make sure to add her to your Christmas card mailing list.

I just completed the last of my HR type training thingies (FERPA, bullying, et al) I only got one question wrong! Apparently, harass is not two words.

(That one never gets old)

It'll be a few pay cycles before I can spring for a laptop and a bottle of Windex, but then I hope to be around more.

Infi, I was sorry to read about your mom. I hope she is doing better. I need to get caught up.

Thanks foot.

Hey, I am typing from my first ever self-owned laptop. I needed something, a computer that works, so I splurged out of my retirement money. This way, I can go to Clown College Online because I am seriously thinking of Medical Coding/Transcription. I wouldn't have to talk to too many humans.

Best of luck to you foot! I didn't know harass was only one word either. Did you scream out "well FUCK ME" when you found out your answer was wrong?

Two months after full-knee replacement surgery, my wife is " continent and contented"

There is still pain but it's on the downhill side... for the next 9 or 10 months.

Caveat: Oxycodone is a miserable drug, given out by surgeons a way too freely,
without the necessary and sufficient warnings of dose-escalation and constipation.
It took about 4 weeks of withdrawal to overcome the side effects,
and for her to get back to the simple and sufficient doses of tylenol
for pain and normal bodily functions.
Our house no longer has the look and feel of a hospital room.

We are both happy !

P.S. Our G-son, Max, posted on his FB that "Gramma is pooping"

A friend of mine was addicted to Oxy and was seeing snow storms in July. Not to mention the constipation. It made her so woozy she would walk into the door frames. She thought she was losing her mind and would forget she took the dose so would take another.
When she called the pharmacist to tell her about the 'storm' outside, she was told to stop taking it. It was 6 weeks before the original pain went away, because of the tolerance she'd built up and then had to temporarily take Morphine to overcome it.

Yeah, oxy is weird shit. You have to drink a lot of water and chow fistfuls of Senna tablets. Also you have to really monitor if your liver can keep up with your dosing. You gotta take the minimum you can get away with.

Ah well. Glad that's over and Mrs. Lighter is, well, lighter.

Aden has an interview for a job at the local McDonalds. Mav already works at the other one, so it looks like both of them will be working there soon. Aden has a car and license so i wont have to drive him whichis great. . The other good part is that he can start paying for his own fuel!

I looked at a number of microwave mug recipes, and I can't go and buy the ingredients or I'd be lost. But - glad to hear that the brownies were heaven. I'll enjoy vicariously.

The one I made was 4 Tbsp flour, 4 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa. Pinch of salt, dash of vanilla. 2 Tbsp water, 2 Tbsp vegetable oil. Give it a good stir and micro for one minute.

My husband didn't think we had all the ingredients, and I was like "um, hello? I'm a baker now, remember? OF COURSE we have the ingredients!"
