Oh _those_ smilies...

So, KY- what are you supposed to do with the brain stem thing???

[DrBee]

Salsa - good luck with your mom. I hope things get better. Have fun on your ride this weekend! The contractor - well, that won't be fun. Good luck there, too.

KY - Sounds like you're much happier with this doc. Good to hear!

SK - Sorry to hear about your dad. I wish him well and I wish you well, too.


okay - lots of medical issues today.


Nanci - sorry to hear your initial impressions of the Zero X were not so great. There certainly is not a magic saddle that conforms to everyone's shape, is there? Wouldn't that be nice. Maybe it will feel better when you're not wearing PJ's. I think I have the 2006 - I forgot to look it up.

Lise - did you get a good night's sleep?

I slept well last night. I had a talk with your Deputy Area Director yesterday and he seemed to indicate that I have a very good chance to get this job. It was definitely a positive conversation. We were talking about relocation issues and everything. I feel a little more relaxed going into the interview. Now - if only I could finish my slides!

SK & Salsa-I haven't encountered sicknesses with either of my parents but can totally understand the stress/feelings you are feeling now.
I send you and your family my thoughts, wishes, smiles, hugs & hope.

Knotted-good to hear you have a better idea of what's going on!

Lise-good luck at the pleasant prarie tri.

Nanci-how far did you ride with your pj's on???

Fish-how many more slides do you have to complete? How far from your present town to the bee job? Tell us the buzz..did i just say that...booooooooo

Good night kids.

SadieKate and Salsa, I wish you both well in the coming days. May you both be strong.

Nanci - there's nothing to do about the brainstem and the blood acidity (or lack thereof) The researchers have only just started figuring this one out, and the only "treatment" out there is just being aware and controlling the breathing when the symptoms erupt. And keeping an eye on my mitral valve noise.

I'm betting there's something dietary I could do, there's gotta be SOME way to either increase my blood acidity or increase the buffering in my system. (hey, I could drink vinegar and eat baking soda! jk!) It kinda looks like something in the spring is kicking off my gut, and then my gut is kicking off the brainstem thing. Neuro #2 said can't do much until it comes back again next year.

It's all chemistry. I should've been paying attention in chem classes....

SK, thanks for the book recommendation.

Thinking of you and your family in this tough time. L.

fish--I grabbed an hour's sleep from 5:50-6:30 AM, but had three laboring pts all night. Home now to bring the Bianchi to LBS for her pre-tri tune up, and then to bed (for me).

sk and salsa, i hope things go well with your family. i just got an email from my stepmom saying that they think my dad will have to go into a fulltime nursing home in 2 months, and he's only 67.

kelownagirl thanks for the entertainment.... did you ever find the white button?

nanci thanks for the updates on the new saddle. i was going to get that one but i ordered the damselfly to see how that one worked. i haven't found one that will work, let alone more than one.

on the upside, its a great morning in my world, no still no sun, but the biologist made home made strawberry bread, with real wild alaska strawberries. yup gonna have to run or ride (oh wait can't ride no saddle) extra long tonight.

Oh, f*cking h*ll!!! I'm sitting here doing a little light reading on TE before going to bed, and fighter jets scream past over my building. It's the acursed Air & Water Show. I hate this thing. Jets roar through the sky all weekend. But Lise, you say, it's just Thursday! Right. Well, they practice half the week, too. Freaks me out, and makes it very hard to sleep during the day when I've worked all night.

OK, AC + Ear Plugs it is. I forgot it was this weekend--but I couldn't *do* anything about it anyway. BLECH.
