shades of the Robin Williams movie Jumanji and the stampeding herds across the road in front of the policeman.

What an interesting start to a morning even if it was true and not a hallucination.

I have few if any friends I can talk to about such issues. They're too personal in a way. I appreciate TE for things like that. Seriously. I really value the opinions and insight here.

ditto- I am dealing with ageing resident FIL issues and if they get much worse, I will be venting here.

Marni, it sounds like your FIL could benefit from some in-home services or at least someone to give you some respite. You can't be "on" 24 hours a day.

Our newest spammer sure has some interesting diction. Yikes.

working on it- hopefully at least one day a week starting in January, and full time in May when I am slated to do a cross country ride to raise money for breast cancer (mississippi river from New Orleans to Lake Itasca (it's source) in May 2012.

Dare I say that I am quite looking forward to january? And to May and une even more. My next oldest sister may be doing the ride with me. She was supposed to do the Southern Tier with me two years ago, but had a double hip replacement instead. She says she is working hard on her trainer and swimming.

Both Dad and himself are starting in on the sullenly resentful guilt trips but I am ignoring them. After a year and a half of unremmiting care for FIL, I feel that I have earned this.

Thanks for the positive thoughts.

Sounds like everyone is dealing with Family issues. We are working to get my mom moved , but her Landlord wants out sooner than we had planned. Thankfully, we've got the key to the new place, just got to get her and stuff the 180 miles between the two places. At least I won't be stuck driving a Cargo van around Memphis in new years. And dealing with my brother and his clan who thinks they need mom's furn and car (no, we need them to pay down those bills). Ah, they joys of knowing which relatives of knowing which relatives you can trust and which you can't.

Since being diagnosed with Graves Disease over the summer, I have kept an eye on my resting heartrate. It was running 20-30 beats higher than normal before I started anti-thyroid meds. I have also been running pretty regularly. Today my heartrate measured 49 bpm. That is definitely more like it.

**NbyNW** · 12-09-2011, 05:55 PM

Well done, Indy!

My dad was diagnosed with Graves in 2004 and I know there was a lot of art + science that went into getting his health straightened out. There was a lot of trial and error for a few years, but he has been doing well as of late.

Keep up the great work!

Well, that was fun. Diagnosed with my second UTI in two months, after 20 years without one. I guess as we age we get drier, and our bladders can tip a bit, and we can be prone to these. It's ever so much fun having a doc who might be all of 30, ask me "are you sexually active??" and "do you void after sex?".
