- Good Evening.
Top question from my email and my answering machine (besides "send us your money or else"), is "How is Casey?"
She is still hospitalized.
We have not heard back from Froedtert yet either.
Perhaps a call from her doctor here will get that ball rolling. (Even after I had b*tched at him for ignoring her calls, and her pain, the other day).
Her amylase and lipase counts -more than doubled when she was admitted, had begun to come back down yesterday.
Unfortunately those same counts were on the rise again today, securing at least one more day in the hospital for her.
She called a few hours ago, feeling much worse than when I had visited earlier.
.- She is in obvious pain.
- She is tired.
- She is stressed.
- And darned hungry
.
AND,
she is hanging in there too.
.
.
.
She has a gentle, very soft spoken, and kind, lady doctor. (Dr. Sinclair).
And I believe these doctors are finally realizing that this girl of mine canNOT be treated as conventional medicine would allow for chronic pancreatitis.
.
.
.
.
This, because she is NOT their conventional pancreatitis patient.
She is 21.
By anyone's admission she is approximately 40 years too young to be having this affliction to begin with.
WTH?
Quite obviously she can't be treated the same as a 60 year old man who has drank his way through the last 40 years of his life.
(I do believe she is rewriting the medical books for this disease)...
.
.
...Or perhaps just the coloring books....
.
hehehe
(A great diversion if you ask me).
.
.
One nurse had 'secured' her IV (against Casey's protests) a bit too tight..
The "bruising" you see actually bled...
(That nurse has been dealt with
and is not permitted in Casey's room anymore).
This one being the only negative experience this time.
.
.
.
.
But then I come home from the hospital,
and am welcomed home by this sight.
.
.
..
My 2nd driveway
turning to Autumn...
.
Miss Punk misses her.
That little toy a sorry replacement for licking Casey's Face.
.
- Sputnik misses her too...
.
Meow! (Means "Hi Casey")!.
.
But at least Sputty has been kept a wee bit busy...
It is that time of year again...
...And the "mouses" are so very entertaining to him. He always shows a murderous side, spotting them.
Yes, he had one, quite tortured (and quite dead) by the time I removed it to the dumpster.
Dumpster?!?!?
Oops. (I never rolled it back in from the road today).
No big deal.
I didn't remember to roll it out there in the first place.
*sigh*
Good thing it's not hot and humid because that dumpster can really stink when the weather is warm.
Weather? We have not gone down to freezing again.
It has even been warm~ish (for us, and for now). I think it was about 70 today. That, and finally seeing the sunshine after all the rain was more than welcomed! And I believe this warmer weather may continue through the weekend.
Not too much other news... Actually no other news. hehehe
And time for me to catch up on a few of your own entries.
Have a good one!
Love to all.
XOXO

Casey...
Thou Shalt Not
Good Morning Everyone;
Thou shalt not steal?
I have fallen victim to a link that has gotten a whole bunch of my attention this morning.
And what a reprieve for me too! (Being insulted so completely in the morning is almost comparable to waking up and laughing).
I dare you to click below...
(I double dog dare you to post your own results in my comments)!
This now, stolen from Sweet Pea...
Have fun.
I did.
XOXO
Me
PS:
- Casey is still in the hospital.
- And yes, I watched the debate.

Your result for The Personality Defect Test...
Hippie
You are the Hippie!
Characterized by a strong sense of extroversion, irrationality, gentleness, humility, and a faint scent of marijuana, you no doubt frolic through fields preaching peace and free love!
Immediately following that, you then frolic to the hospital with herpes!
You are probably either very spiritual or needlessly paranoid about "the man", like most hippies, as a result of your focus on intuition and feelings over cold, brutal logic.
You probably enjoy poetry, especially beatnik ultra-liberal crap about how horrible fascism is, even though your suburbanized, sheltered idea of "fascism" is having to pay two dollars per gallon at the gas pump.
You are also very, very social.
And like any hippie who would have no qualms about hitchhiking across the country just to meet some interesting people, you also love to interact with others, even complete strangers. Though I highly doubt they love to interact with you!
Because we know most any hippie is peace-loving and humble, it stands to reason that you, as well, are terribly gentle and humble, almost to the point of revulsion.
Your carefree attitude of peace and harmony is probably very, very sickening to realists or cynics or anyone who isn't a hippie, to tell the truth.
In short, your personality is defective because you are overly emotional, extroverted, gentle, and humble--thus making you an annoying hippie.
Now go do your drugs and have sex with filthy bearded men in tye dye shirts.

Now go do your drugs and have sex with filthy bearded men in tye dye shirts.
To put it less negatively:
1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational.
2. You are more EXTROVERTED than introverted.
3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.
4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.
Compatibility:
Your exact opposite is the Sociopath.
Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hand-Raiser, the Televangelist, and the Robot.
*
*
If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.
The other personality types:
The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Capitalist Pig: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Smartass: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

I Need Your Help
Good Morning Everyone;
My rant today.
As I drove home last night, I was seeing a few people already had their little dumpsters out by the road. Calling my neighbor, she said she hadn't heard anything about a day/route change. (Could be the people up the road had their own routes changed then).
Oh well.
To be honest, that is the least of my worries.
Yes, my ear is being stubborn as hell. Coupled now with a bloody nose or two.
Again, 'worrisome' -but unimportant in the whole scheme of things.

Again, 'worrisome' -but unimportant in the whole scheme of things.
- "Things" = "Life" somehow.
If you recall, Casey has an appointment on Wednesday with a surgeon. Perhaps this referral will help. (There's hope there- a chance for enlightenment anyway).
She was at the hospital last Sunday.
- Bloodwork.
- Urinalysis.
- IV pain treatment.
She was sent back home.
She had her own doctor appointment last week then; complete with the referral to the surgeon. Her doctor told her to take Advil since the pancreas swells. Yes, she has had continued pain since then.
Due to the pain, she had called in sick yesterday morning.
After calling the clinic for 3 hours yesterday morning, (and waiting for a callback that did not come), I drove Casey to the hospital.
- Bloodwork.
- Urinalysis.
- IV pain treatment.
Her pancreatic enzymes were doubled.
She was immediately admitted.
I have heard from various doctors and nurses at these hospitals that pancreatic pain is the absolute worst.
.
.
.
.
- As of this moment in time, all I know is that they will be doing still another CT Scan this morning.
- Her appointment for Wednesday with the surgeon will have to be rescheduled; as one cannot 'annoy' the pancreas further when it is already in such a delicate state.
- She may still end up back at Froedtert. Mayo was a laugh a minute.
In keeping with my title, I would ask that those of you that are able to do so please link me to either presidential candidate AND their VP's.
This link must not be their own sites.
I already have those.
Nor do I prefer to listen to any more useless scathing rhetoric about either one. In my humble opinion that is only so much BS anyway. And my own bullshit barometer is clearly on "overload"...
Please find me their applied stance on stem cell research.
Please find me where they stand on truly helping a 21 year old with chronic pancreatitis. (Is that even possible)?
How about what avenues are then opened to such a disease?
.
Anyway. I must get in the shower and get up to the hospital. Greg will leave there for work around 7.
Her CT Scan is scheduled for 10 or 11.
Love to all.
And my thanks in advance for any information you may be able to send my way.
I do not even care if your comments turn into a screaming political match.
At that point, I would promise to take only what I need from each little can of worms.
(And I further promise that your friendship is secure no matter what).
XOXO
Anne

Before that frost arrived,
there was a mad rush to harvest everything from the fields.

As I have heard now, there are many of us that are a bit blogstipated.
As for myself, I have been a bit "under the weather"-
(Is 'under' really possible with respect to the above pictures)?!?
hehehe
My ear is still quite strange.
I have tried to make it better many ways; all of them quite ineffective too. (Sorry, but blowing my snot back up my eustachian tubes is NOT an option).
I personally prefer a kinder, and gentler, pace thank you.
I had a bit of company yesterday...
.
.
.
.
As many know, Gabriel turned 3 on the first of October.
What you may not know is that his foster family had an awful case of rotavirus running rampant.
I chose not to get him that day.
(Odd, or not, his own mother has not even called him to wish him a Happy Birthday) .
..
.
....
A brand new Green Bay Packers outfit!
And a Curious George Bath bag.
.
.
.
Master Gabriel watched happily as Randy finally dug out my septic tank.
..
.But Gabriel was a bit bored too...
.
HAHAHA!
(Just happy I had the camera outside)!
Not wise to fall asleep on your tricycle!!!

Warmer inside-
not by much though.
My fuel oil will be delivered this coming week.
¤ sigh
.
.
I am happy there are two games for me to cheer on today.
Provided I can remain awake, I will choose my Packers over the Milwaukee Brewers, (but I will be channel hopping during the time outs).
So there you have it- a bit of catch up here.
I will be trying to get around soon to everyone's news and blogs.
Bear with me. I must first get in the shower.
Love to all.

This is a "church sign" debate, being played out in a Southern town, between a Catholic church and a Presbyterian church.
The signage from top to bottom shows the original, then responses and counter-responses over time.
Someone at the Catholic church has a pretty good sense of humor...but I get the impression that the Presbyterians are taking this way too seriously.
Enjoy!!

Your Pets 10 Commandments
| Rating: | ★★★★★ |
| Category: | Other |
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.
~Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them.
Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without God's critters
~Now please pass this on to other pet owners. We do not have to wait for Heaven, to be surrounded by hope, love, and joyfulness. It is here on earth and has four legs!
Once More. (Update in Comments).
Casey has called from work. In awful pain, and can barely even walk.
To the clinic. Then possibly the hospital.
Love to all.

http://www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/sunnymaid10_08.html
I just cannot begin to tell you how very surprised I am by this latest recall.
(And I hope you enjoy sarcasm).
Oddly enough, China has not yet figured out how to poison our clothes.
Hmmm...
Or have they?

10 Little Thoughts
Good Evening Everyone;
I am late today-
Later still at getting to your own blogs.
My apologies for that, please don't drop me... yet.
Since it is Tuesday (still), I shall share ten thoughts with you.
1. We got a bit of rain today. (Say "YAY"). But not even enough to remove the two splattered bug guts from my windshield.
2. You don't find me tooling around for no reason.
The reason I was on the road was for a doctor appointment. I have an ear infection. This sucks. I thought 'kids' got ear infections, and that I should have long ago outgrown such a thing. (Mama would put some blue bottle of hot ear drops in my ears; then make me swallow a penicillin pill as she shoved cotton batting in my ears to keep the breezes out).
3. Ear infections are NO fun at all. (Nor is having drops in my ear, corked off with a cotton ball). SO reminiscent of my childhood days. (Tipping my head from side to side, or front to back, makes the oddest sounds. From within).
4. A different doctor today. She came in, asked if I was Anne, and asked what the problem was. Not a handshake or even a milkshake. (She looked in my ear, wrote the script and I was out of there in less than 2 minutes).
5. The pharmacy wait took much longer.
MUCH MUCH longer. And all for this itsy bitsy, teeny weeny bottle of drops. (Drops that when put in the ear sound much like a grenade going off at close range, or a 30-0-06)...
6. My sinuses and head and ear make me feel as though someone stuck a balloon in my ear, and then inflated it. I hear things from the inside. (Enough to psych me out as I listen to my heartbeat from the inside). Weird.
7. Punk is all better- Having had her to the vet on Friday, she has finally began to be a pain in the butt again. (I rather like her like this).
8. When the vet says he doesn't need a stool sample, remember to remove it from the car. Do not let it remain there- (After 4 days, it stinks up the whole car, no matter HOW plugged up ones nose is).
9. The loss of hearing made me miss the dryer as it shut off. I went in wrinkled clothes. (Gratefully my jeans are tight now that I gained 3 pounds. The fat gives the appearance of smooth anyway).
10. The loss of hearing also left me listening to the CD in my car as if it was only on AM radio. This AM radio effect also took me back to my younger days.
It was Delbert McClinton, "Room to Breathe"-
The above album title has, belatedly, struck me as downright hilarious.
Kinda like our old AM radios were...
Love to all. Please bring soup.
XOXO

Oh, Henry!
These two leaves know it's Fall...

Good Morning!
First of all, Punkie seems to be better; having woken me so she could pee, poo, and EAT!
Or maybe she woke me because something was up. (I am still not sure what that something may have been).
I left her outside- a bit after 3AM.
As I walked out with her, I noticed parking lights, on the road, but by my 2nd driveway.
I slowly walked toward Punk (who had to pee worse than anything), and grabbed her collar, telling her 'shush'.
(No that didn't work).
We waited and watched for a minute; me trying to subdue this 100.3 pound dog of mine, and to squelch the growling too-
Finally, I hollered out, "Who the hell is out there, and what the hell do you want?!?"
A few seconds later, a car pealed out-
(Mach 3 at least)...
Like I said, I am still not sure what that was all about.
Yes, as my mouth is, so my guns are at the ready if need be.
As I said above, Punk does seem better this morning-
As Peachie suggested, and I concur; methinks it just might have been a bit of depression for the wee pup.
Either that or it is very odd that she seemed better after a visit from these two.

They did this 'til both dogs were tired out.

I think Milly was singing!

Milly, finding nothing, ran all the way home...

And so our day and visit went... It had threatened rain all afternoon, but none came. (Why do I get the feeling that Mother Nature is saving the precipitation for me to shovel)?
.
.
.
The game is an early one today- Noon here. (1 eastern, Bug).
And I am positive that almost everyone on here knows I am a Green Bay Packers Fan.
.
Who wouldn't love a face like this?
hehehe........
.

Yet, being a Packers Fan doesn't run in my whole family.
(I hope you were sitting down for that sentence).
Punk chooses NOT to watch these games; rather she falls to sleep on the couch during them!
WTH?!?!?
That may be my own fault... As I watch, I have a tendency to be silent, and quietly 'coach' to the best of my ability.
Every now and then, something akin to "Tourettes Syndrome" strikes me; I holler, curse, and scream-
Perhaps a bit LOUDLY...
This of course startles the poor pooch into being wide awake...

You do NOT want to know what she says when this happens.
To that end, (among others), I hope the my Packers will kick the poo out of Tampa today.
Love to all.
