Guy B.: Hi Dale Judy: hi, Pam Dale: Should I reset the chat server? rich-c: hi daughter BobS: NO BobS: not now, it is working Pamela: but I just got here! Judy: not now it is working now Guy B.: Hi Pam Dale: I was busy helping Jeffrey with his homework and so on, and didn't get a chance to reset it. BobS: was KAPUT for about an hour rich-c: wait till it breaks, Dale,, then fix it Guy B.: We all just got on. Dale: No problem. Sorry about that. rich-c: I think it wasnt calling the Java script for some reason Dale: I had a feeling that I should reset it today, but I ran out of time. rich-c: you need to follow your hunches, Dale Pamela: was gonna say, hunches are usually to be followed Judy: some days are like that BobS: and then some days just plain stink Dale: Anyway, I have it on a timer to reset itself if I don't get to it. Usually that does the trick. Judy: like today rich-c: so what happened, Judy? Judy: spent the day in the hospital with my mom Pamela: uh oh rich-c: what happeneed to her? Judy: she has pnomonia Judy: spelled wrong but oh well BobS: ya know, the lung thingy rich-c: how did she get pneumonia? any clues? Judy: stupid doctor she has doesn't treat her and this is what happened Judy: it is a weakness for her BobS: started about 3 months ago with bronchitis BobS: and went bad from there BobS: her doctor is a quack rich-c: great - it is very treacherous and tricky to treat Judy: quess we agree that he isn't good rich-c: I have had it a couple of times and landed in hospital as a result Guy B.: Jeanene is back in the hospital with pnemonia, but she is doing better. Just suddenly hit her rich-c: how long since she had her surgery, Guy? Judy: mom doesn't get a normal case of it either no symtoms but pain in her chest Pamela: are you involved in her health care on a regular basis Judy? Guy B.: Beginning of March. The right knee is schedule for next month Pamela: and Guy, is this a second go-around for Jeanene? rich-c: on my experience there are no normal symptoms - your lungs just mess up Judy: yes, we try but you know how it is with parents Guy B.: That's it. Pamela: <rolls eyes> gee, I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about rich-c: pneumonia just before surgery is serious bad news - I assume you have talked with her doctor? Guy B.: No, not yet rich-c: any bets on whether she picked it up in the hospital last time she was in? Judy: I quess but if you go and have an exray and it says it isn't gone you don't just send you home to come back in another two weeks to have it checked again Judy: that's what I thought rich-c: what type of pneumonia does she have, Judy? is she on amiodarone? Judy: no she isn't Judy: but don't know what type rich-c: so it's more straightforward - can it be controlled by medication? BobS: well we swure hope so Judy: don't think the doctors could agree so they gave her two different meds BobS: if medications don't controlit , we are in trouble Judy: and talked of giving her another rich-c: if the doctors think medication has mattered controlled, they prefer to send patients home Pamela: it would help if they could determine the underlying cause BobS: I hesitate to call her person a 'doctor' Judy: a weakness to that type of sickness, her mother had the same problem rich-c: haws the doctor looked into the possibility of COPD? apparently it's something doctors overlook BobS: she has been diagnosed with that Judy: has that BobS: NOW, we see if the "doctor" will keep her on spireva BobS: or similar meds rich-c: yes, I use that, and Symbicort, seems to keep that problem under control BobS: is symbicort the same type of thing? Pamela: it's a corticosteroid - designed to strengthen the lungs rich-c: well, it's an inhaler, you take two puffs twice a day - don't know much more rich-c: it used to be called Pulmicort but got upgraded and is very widely used rich-c: you'll notice I have it for COPD and Pam has it for asthma Pamela: "This combination medication contains two active ingredients: budesonide and formoterol. This medication is used to treat asthma. Budesonide belongs to the group of medications known as corticosteroids. It helps to control the symptoms of asthma and prevent asthma attacks by reducing the swelling in the airways of the lungs. Formoterol belongs to the group of medications known as bronchodilators. It helps to control asthma and relieve asthma symptoms by keeping the airways open to make breathing easier. Judy: I see Pamela: sorry for the big post - copy from a med site Pamela: I didn't realize symbicort was actually two meds BobS: heck they take 2 meds that are about to come off patent, combine them and geta nother patent Pamela: it's like my Advair Judy: the trouble is the doctors tell her to take meds and she doesn't even know why she is taking them, but she does take them rich-c: what really surprises me is that the inhalers can actually provided the proper dose rich-c: doesn't her pharmacy give her information sheets with the 'scrips? Judy: it has helped her breathing but is giving her a very dry mouth Pamela: what meds did they give her other than Spireva? Judy: yes, but who can read all that rich-c: well if you are going to take it you'd better read it Judy: she had a z-pack rich-c: among other things it tells you what is forbidden while you take the medication rich-c: for instance as long as I'm on at least two of my meds, grapefruit is forbidden fruit Judy: she does get all her meds from the same pharmacy so they keep track of that Judy: she does know that and no sun, that type of thing rich-c: yes, that's standardd, but it's best to have a binder for teh poop sheets and consult it when necessary rich-c: yes, I take a couple of things that say no sun, too - but how can I get my vitamin D? Judy: I thought that my older sister was watching more than she is and she is a nurse so it is easier for her know more medical stuff rich-c: yes, if she is a nurse she certainly ought to know more rich-c: but for us non-professionals, we learn when we have the medicine prescribed rich-c: the druggist will tell you all about it but no one listens Judy: you would think so but today I wondered because I knew more about her health issues than she did rich-c: but Bob and I for instance are very familiar with heart medications by now Judy: probably rich-c: well, your experience is learn by doing, hers is learn by training - yours is likely more effective rich-c: Guy, on your Adamcon cheque - you know to send it to me, right? rich-c: and you know to make it out to me personally not Adamcon 22? Pamela: oh, and thanks for fixing Dad's postal code, Bob rich-c: yes, that is very important - our postal codes are not any way like zip codes BobS: ya miss........didn't know I had it wrong, I didn't rich-c: did you know our code coversw exactly three thouses? BobS: I got it from a list that Jean made out years ago Judy: at least it was decovered before we sent the money BobS: and M6A 1H6 is correct??????? Pamela: glad I caught it early - who knows where some of this stuff might have ended up Pamela: yes rich-c: these days there are indications they are actually using it for sorting BobS: our post offices usually get it tot he right place anyways, and I am sure the canadian psot offoce does also Pamela: hah! tell that to the posties in our end of town when our mail with the correct postal code still ends up downtown! BobS: see?????? you NEED to use incorrect postal codes to GET your mail rich-c: no, they can get quite shirty about it - wrong or no code may be returned to the sender Pamela: our biggest problem here is getting people to use Weston instead of York or Toronto Pamela: the joys of amalgamation rich-c: aren't you supposed to be "Weston Church St., Toronto" now? Pamela: no rich-c: better tell your mother - she seems to think that's the case Pamela: no official change has been made Pamela: I did tell her Pamela: it should be street address, apartment number, Weston, ON and the postal code BobS: Oh oh, Frances has it wrong Pamela: that is the surest way to ensure something arrives rich-c: that is what I have been using but she told me it was wrong and had been changed Pamela: listen to the person who lives here : ) Judy: what an idea? rich-c: I know, I remember when Rexdale was changed to Etobicoke the local P.O. kept readdressing the mail to Rexdale Pamela: I just realized we're missing Daniel Pamela: where is he tonite? BobS: he was on early but then the site shut down BobS: I could not get on at all BobS: finally gaveup for an hour rich-c: he was on early when the board wasn't working, gave up and went home I guess - Justin too Judy: he was on when I first got on maybe he decided to give up BobS: Daniel must have given up for th enight Pamela: ah Judy: Meeka was on then too Pamela: so I missed all the excitement Judy: that you did Pamela: timing - it's all in the timing : ) rich-c: yes, I got on for a second, just long e3nough for Judy to recognize me, then crash Pamela: well at least I know it's not me this time! : ) BobS: didyou get hurt????????????? Pamela: only his pride : ) rich-c: my feeling lie around in shattered little shards, Bob Judy: it was ugly BobS: if that is all, tis ok, eh? BobS: ;-) rich-c: there are rumours I might recover Judy: that is good Pamela: Guy, did you straighten out your landlord? BobS: ya got to read your messages Pam rich-c: didn't you see his Coladam post, Pam? Pamela: yes but I want details rich-c: even so, Guy, is Annie legally a service dog, like the "Dogs for the deaf" ones? BobS: THAT was my thinking.....service dog..........ya cannot discriminate against them BobS: she might need a nitetime muzzle, but rich-c: don't think Guy is paying attention at the moment BobS: doingf email.......maybe Judy: or one of the collars so they don't bark rich-c: I doubt that would work or be legal, Bob - burglars can come and fires can start at any hour rich-c: it would defeat the whole point of having a service dog BobS: hmmmm teach dog NOT BARK at improper time................... Judy: trouble is it needs to learn when not to bark Guy B.: Annie is not really trained to be a hearing dog, but she knows when I cannot hear something. She does bark to let me know rich-c: dogs don't come with that kind of judgment, Judy - and she's already been trained to bark in certain circumstances BobS: well they aught to................................. rich-c: but she isn't a trained service dog, Guy? that puts you on legal thin ice Pamela: so are you going to look for another place at a leisurely pace Guy? Or stay where you are? Guy B.: Yes, at first. But, then he comes by on Monday and wants me to stay. Even apologized. But, I've been telling him for some time that people have been coming in and out in the wee hours of the morning. That's what prompted Annie to bark like she did rich-c: so you are both in a cleft stick Guy B.: I know who some of them are. But, I'll stay for now rich-c: he can tell the complainers that you need a service dog and he can't evict you rich-c: he can also suggest thaqt weird-hours traffic may not be desirable either Pamela: keep your options open, Guy rich-c: you did say you might want to be neareer Jeanene Pamela: unfortunately Dad, you can't tell tenants when they can come and go in an apartment building rich-c: I'm painfully aware of that, daughter - it's why we bought a house Guy B.: It's right next door to her rich-c: how is it for teh trip to work? is there parking? rich-c: is it a decent place? is the price competitive? Guy B.: It will be a little longer, but at least Annie would like it rich-c: she enjoys being with Jeanene, or likes the area? Guy B.: Both Pamela: have you considered buying a house, or renting one? rich-c: going to be a bit of a decision for you then - you might not want to stay where you've had problems Guy B.: Well, I'm going to play it by ear BobS: use both ears Judy: I quess BobS: ANd you eyes rich-c: yes, houses are going pretty cheap in Chicago right now, aren't they? Pamela: ba - da- dum! Guy B.: I have one ear and two eyes BobS: that is true Richard, maybe buy a house again Pamela: and a dog with great hearing! : ) Guy B.: Chicago I avoid, so it will be in the suburbs. But, that depends on where. rich-c: have a buddy in New England who just bought tow houses because they were so cheap BobS: prices are down rich-c: expects to rent them out and over a few years make a big capital gain rich-c: there are a lot of considerations enter into it, Guy Guy B.: Well, that I will take into consideration BobS: if he is a shrewd businessman, he should make out great rich-c: well, he's Irish, so he's kind of volatile, but he does OK usually Pamela: lets just hope he doesn't get Ron's former neighbour for a tenant! Guy B.: Well, despite the problems with getting on. It's time for me to go. So, will see you all next week rich-c: see you, Guy Judy: night Guy Pamela: yes, it's about that time Pamela: g'nite Guy Pamela: glad things have worked out Pamela: hugs to you Dale: Bye Guy. Guy B.: Same here Pam. Bye Guy B.: Poof
