8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 9

[O'BWV]

Okay so before my multi-quoting to catch up... and btw it isn't that bad this time. There wasn't as many pages as usual!... I wanted to just update after my dr appt today.
The dr feels it's Bell's palsy and she thinks it's stress related. Now I don't know of any stress I have had lately other than normal every day stress but I am a worrier by nature... so who knows. I also have fluids behind my right ear but she said that's a symptom, not a cause -because the ear isn't infected and she said not moving my face on that side will cause fluids not to drain as they should. Something like that. So the pain in my ear area is caused by fluids which are built up BECAUSE of the paralysis on that side- not an infection causing the paralysis- atleast not an ear infection.
She said my tonsils were huge but they always are... I should have had those taken out when I was a child... a long long time ago.
She gave me a shot of steroids or something like that and some viral medication Rx... and I'm supposed to take some B12 vitamins also... and we'll go from here to see if that helps or if it just runs it's course. I guess I just have to live with it and pray it will go away. it's not easy though... it's hard to blink my right eye all the way, it's hurting by my ear, everything I eat or drink or even my saliva makes me want to HURL because it's like I have a mouth full of sea (salt) water all the time... I can't even drink from a straw to try to bypass tasting liquids because I can't get my lips to work right! Eating and talking I have to be careful because on the right side my lips get in the way- similar to if you are numbed top/bottom on one side to get work done on you teeth yanno?
ugh I just hope and pray it goes away soon.

Thank you all for the kind words and thoughts and prayers. I do appreciate it.

Shelley hon....I'll be praying that this passes as quickly as possible.

Yes, Andrew UK and someone else (I always forget -- sorry) are on the Med cruise before me, and Monica and the Captain are on the Med repo after me . . . I think it would be great "young fun" to try to successfully hide messages for each other that the cleaning crews don't manage to find and get rid of!

We'll definitely have to try and do something. But I suggest we coordinate our hiding place via pm or email. We wouldn't want any lurkers finding it and ruining our young fun.

Well y'all. I just took my horse pills so it is time for bed. I don't remember antibiotics being such big tablets. Yuck. Must be the generic. Hmm wonder if there is any one here that knows anything about drugs.

Ok will stab here is that you probably are taking Augmentin (Amoxicillin/Clavulonic Acid) for your respiratory infection I heard Mark talk about over the weekend. If they are they are probably 875mg or 1000mg tablets which are jinormous and if they are generic they are cheaply made without the fancy coating on the outside. So you get to taste that wonderful fungus biproduct that we call penicillin. The advantage of these horse pills is that you only have to take them twice a day instead of 4 or more times a day. I would take it with some food so that it does not come back up on you. Get well soon.

Well I know the nutmeg made me forget the 70's and 80's, but I didn't find that out until last night!


Good Night and Feel better Laura!!

Your right, I only have to take them 2x a day. For Sinus infection and the cough. I have to drink a ton of water just to get them to go down. I never have trouble with pills but these are doozies. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

Well, now I am going to bed. Only 5 hours till Mark gets up.

Ok, I think you are kidding me about my nutmeg. I had a pharmacology professor in pharmacy school that taught us about illicit drugs. This looked like he had not only taken every kind but probably made them as well. He told us that a teaspoonful (or maybe a tablespoonful) of nutmeg would produce the same effects as LSD. They both have the same structure and work in the same way. Here is the kicker though. When you take that much nutmeg you have to go through about 24 hours of dry heaves until you get to the hallucinogenic effects. According to him if you could not find any LSD it was hell to get there but you get the same trip.

Survivor's over....back to ketchup

Boy, without giving anything away to our West Coast viewers, there's a couple of Nasty Nellies in this installment. Not too smart since it usually comes back to bite you in the butt!!!

Just ended over here.....and I totally agree....I'm enjoying this version of the haves and the have nots....makes for a real interesting study of character and human nature

 

[got2travel]

HEE HEE HEE -

Want to see what I caught my diva doing?

I came out of the bathroom after taking my shower and this is what I found her doing......

on DH's side of the bed of course!

She knows better than to try it on my side!

Love it

 

[got2travel]

Me too!

DW is away for 10 days so it's just the DISDog and me. He's already asleep and snoring loudly! I might as well go too.

See you all in chat tomorrow night.

ooo....chat tomorrow....thanks for the reminder

 

[FINCANTIERI]
