This thread is really going down into the toilet.  Literally. I say that because of all the catheter & laxative talk. 🤣🤣😉

 

Going back to fear of heights, I've always tell people I have a fear of heights. But I have no issue walking out on a glass sidewalk or glass box thousands of feet above the ground. I get a rush using glass enclosed elevators or peering over the side of an observation deck on top of a skyscraper.  Heck, I'll even dangle me feet over the side of a cliff - sometimes, only it's it's not too windy and the ground is sturdy.

 

But get me halfway up an extension ladder to clean the gutters and my knees are shaking. I'm gripping the sides of the ladder so hard, not only are my knuckles white but I've cut off circulation to my finger tips. Did I mention I'm only halfway up, like 8-10 feet off the ground?

 

So maybe I don't have a fear of heights but a fear of my own natural clumsiness?

OR maybe you're thinking of the work involved when you reach halfway up the top of the ladder? 😄

My fear of heights began after I fell down a flight of escalator stairs .

Enough about my problems how about some cute nurse photos?

My daughter and granddaughter, who live with us, want a puppy.  Charlie said no, so they are thinking of ways to get rid of him!!  We decided if it is small enough Charlie will never notice if we got one🤪As long as the tv is on he probably would never know.  My daughter has Christmas outfits picked out for the puppy already😳

I'm eating my lunch at my desk and seriously thought I read the above as "peeing" 😁

Everything is better with a puppy.

My daughter actually likes your dogs!

Or a kitten, I don’t do stepladder’s, I don’t clean gutters or go in attic, a couple of decades ago my wife was putting something in attic and her leg went through the ceiling, luckily she wasn’t hurt , at 6’4” and 270 pounds I will not attempt that.

Yes, puppies are always nice. 😊

I just finished my TMJ registered massage, and yesterday I had a heat style treatment from the other specialist I am seeing. 
 

I now can open my mouth to just under 1.4 inches from the original .5 of an inch. It’s been 6 weeks and things are going well. I still have another 1.5 to go. 🤞

 

Lisa had an ultrasound on Monday regarding her gallstones, or at least suspected gallstones. That will take a bit of time to hear from here DR. 
 

We make a great couple.

So glad your TMJ is improving! Hope Lisa won't need surgery.

Now I’m waiting at Owen’s school for football practice to end. No need to drive home, to wait 20 minutes to drive another 20 minutes back. Hockey practice tonight at 9:30 to 10:30. 

 

And to make it interesting it's not just raining, it’s freezing rain. Look at the fence. 
 

Last game of the season is tomorrow, win or lose. I’ll keep you all posted. 
 

And the trees. 

 

Meanwhile I’m listening to music and enjoying the heat.

Thank-you.

 

As for Lisa, she is actually hoping to have the surgery. She has had a constant ache on the front side and if she eats a bit of “bad” food she has the same pain only worse on her front and back side. It’s been 6 weeks so far, and she doesn’t want this forever. 
 

She’s going to tell the DR she wants it out. Turns out we know a few people who have had it removed.

Pain meds are notorious for constipation.   Drink lots of fluids, apple or prune juices are good options, decaf tea, eat more fiberous foods, avoid eating cheeses, meats and prepared foods.

take a laxative, if allowed.

Paulines late mam used to say a spoonful of Olive oil or a hot drink made with Lemon juice was the best remedy.

Oh yikes, that sounds terrible. I hope that the doctor will listen to her andshe will be able to find relief. Six weeks is a long time to deal with pain.

You certainly are both having a rough time.  Good to hear you are improving and I hope Lisa gets her surgery scheduled.

 

Hoping on Christmas Day you will both be celebrating having your full health back.

@Lionesss Miss Zoey is absolutely adorable.  Spending time with your beautiful granddaughter must take away the pain of your house issue that occurred due to no fault of your own & made me flinch reading about the newly laid lawn being dug up…

Photo on the last morning  of the cruise finally standing in the middle of one of those glass panels - note the buckles that set off the alarms when boarding the ship 🙄 and it was when I was looking down that I realised self disembarking had commenced 😁 as I could see cruisers walking off with their luggage

I recall my Nana saying warm lemonade or a decaf tea with lemon.   Olive oil makes sense too

I drink decaffeinated herbal tea with lemon every morning to cleanse the kidneys.

Nice choice of channels.

But women are much easier. They just say, take a deep breath and they pull it out. 

That may be so, but as women, we also have the privilege to "push" our babies out.  Just sayin..😉

Sounds like me and Linda we coordinate everything through our doctors and surgery appointments. I’m glad you are getting progress with your TMJ. Tell Lisa I can relate. I had kidney stones and they were no fun. I hope surgery will do the trick.
