Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / July 2004Possible virus alert
I think I might have a virus, so please don't open any mail that comes from me that has a paper clip beside it or has an attachment. I am not sure, boys say no but some of my emails that are coming into me have an attachment. My OE is picking it up and saying it stopped email with an unsafe attachment. So Please please don't open emails from me. I will probably be going down if I find out it is a virus. I have scanned my computer and nothing is showing. So not quite sure what is going on.  SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too.

But again, it sounds like what you are describing is your anti-virus program doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing by catching emails with a virus attachment that other people send to you. It is "them" with a virus, not you. -- Kiyoshi - The reverse side also has a reverse side.

Kiyoshi! How are you doing? Does your recovery continue to progress in the right ways? Enjoying your water still? SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare >Kiyoshi! How are you doing? Does your recovery continue to progress in the >right ways? Enjoying your water still? Hi Nann. Things are going well here. I got one tube taken out last Monday. They decided to leave the one going to the old stomach "just in case." But so far I'm doing well with the food. I advanced last week from jello and broth to eggs, refried beans, and other soft foods like that. This weekend I advanced to chicken, tuna, and turkey. The nutritionist suggested the canned kind to start so it is moist enough for the new stomach. But I can grill a piece of chicken if I want. I'm not into cooking, so the canned stuff is fine with me. And I can add in some Miracle Whip Light for extra flavor. I can also add in string cheese this weekend. Our local dairy is making a new skim chocolate milk made with Splenda that I can have too. That is good stuff. Oh, and I can have yogurt this week too. So, things are moving along fine. I can still only eat a couple bites at a time and I'm full. I've lost over 55 pounds since the surgery on May 17th. That makes my total weight loss since last July at 175 pounds. I just bagged up a bunch more clothing to give to a homeless shelter. Luckily, I saved all my old clothing as I gained the weight. So, I also got to take out about 20 new/different shirts that have been hanging in the closet for over ten years now. There were even a few pair of pants that fit. So, I have a new old wardrobe now. I'm still enjoying the water. I found a nutrition store that has it's own water purifying system. It's a huge thing that takes up half their store. I take in my 3 gallon container and get it filled for like 83 cents. It tastes better than some bottled water that I've bought in the stores. So, everything is going very well as far as recovery. I still wear out too easily but I'm only six weeks out from surgery and I'm told that what I'm feeling isn't totally uncommon. I also need to do better at taking the protein supplement. I don't like it so tend to skip it too often. And I was told that lack of protein can make a person feel lethargic and tired. So, it may be that too. I can't eat enough protein in a day to get the daily requirement, so I'm going to have to break down and eat the powdered stuff every day. I need to have 50 grams of protein per day. So, how are you doing? <g> -- Kiyoshi - The reverse side also has a reverse side. "I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances." Martha Dandridge Custis Washington, 1731-1802 Kiyoshi, I am glad to hear things are going better for you. I bet you are so glad to be able to eat again. I am so proud of how much you have lost since the surgery and since Last July. You are doing great. Keep up the good work. Do you have something that you can reward yourself with for doing so good. Like something you can do that you enjoy or something like that. It is good to reward yourself for doing good you know. ;-) I hope you keep recovering so well. Hugs and Love to you SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too. Squirrely Jo > >Kiyoshi! How are you doing? Does your recovery continue to progress in the > >right ways?

I rewarded myself when I lost my first hundred pounds. I went out and bought a 2000 Camaro Z28. It is black with a charcoal gray leather interior and only had 6000 miles on it when I bought it. It also comes with the Corvette LS1 engine. I love to take the t-tops off and go out on the back highways. It is one of those cars that is actually fun to drive. You can feel the power... more power than I will probably ever use. Yes, I'm a guy. <g> I'm not sure what I will do to reward myself when I reach the two hundred mark. I will probably be spending all of my money on clothes for the next year or so. Maybe I'll reward myself with a new suit. I have none right now since they are all too big. And I've been putting off buying a new one until I really need it since they are expensive and it would be too big in only a few months time. Thank you for your kind words, Jo. But then, I would expect nothing less from you since that is what you are best known for offering in these support groups. -- Kiyoshi - The reverse side also has a reverse side. "I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances." Martha Dandridge Custis Washington, 1731-1802 Kiyoshi, It sounds like you treat yourself well. It is good you give yourself rewards. It helps keep you on track that way. Thank you for your kind words also. SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too. Squirrely Jo > > Hi Squirrely Jo. [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances." > Martha Dandridge Custis Washington, 1731-1802 That's great! It sounds like things are going well, indeed. Still wearing out easily is not common this soon after any surgery and it's even more comon when you've had post-op complications, so you're right not to worry about that too much, frustrating but normal. Now, start being good and take your protein however you need to get it. I can tell you for certain that too little can make you lethargic and tired because it happens to me. It's really aggravating as I can't eat milk protein and somedays I just don't want to cook anything! Ah, well. At least we have lots of food available to us so I guess I shouldn't complain! Out of curiousity... does that store use reverse osmosis to purify their water? I ask because my dad made the major break-through in the membrane used for reverse osmosis water purification :) Though he always told us others were working on it too and someone else would have made the break-through in a year or two if he hadn't. But, it's a rare claim to fame in my family. As for me, well, I forgot I was on my last refill of tramadol. Didn't call it in before my doc took off on Friday. So now I'm stretching one day's worth to cover 2.5 days! And it would be the weekend we're doing the soup kitchen down in Saginaw! It figures that the one time I wait until the last day to call in my refill, it'd be the last refill and a weekend! LOL That'll teach me.

LOL >That'll teach me. Hi Nann. Sorry to hear about your prescription mix up. I attempt to avoid that problem by keeping an Excel spreadsheet of my medications. It includes medication name, dosage per day, number of pills scripted per month and strength of pills, condition taken for, date last filled and next due (which is helpful if you don't have all of your prescriptions timed to pick up on the same day of the month), number of refills left, copay amount, and a comments section in case I am having problems or side effects or just have questions to ask the doctor. I print it off to take with me to every medical appointment so I don't have to memorize my medications for the intake nurse. I update the spreadsheet every time I get my medications from the pharmacy. It's a good way to keep track of things for me. Another thing that helps me is to use a calendar with reminder alarms for the dates when prescriptions should be refilled. I use Outlook for email so utilize their built-in calendar. I'm not sure how the store purifies their water. I was given the lecture but didn't really listen too closely. I read their stats and they came out more pure than most of the bottled water out there. I'll ask next time I stop in for more water and I'll let you know. That's cool about your dad. Is he a millionaire now or was this one of those things done in the name of science? Thank you for your well wishes and advice. Things continue to improve daily. Hopefully, you are hanging in there with your lack of pain meds this weekend. -- Kiyoshi - The reverse side also has a reverse side.

Martha Dandridge Custis Washington, 1731-1802 > Hi Nann. Sorry to hear about your prescription mix up. I attempt to > avoid that problem by keeping an Excel spreadsheet of my medications. My brother does something similar for their prescriptions. Unfortunately, I my case, we are only paying for two of my meds. No Rx coverage right now, so we're mostly getting by on samples from out docs and patient assistance programs. It complicates everything! Half a drawer in one of our chests is given over to my sample stash. They *really* waste packaging in the samples! Anyway, probably in September we'll have group coverage again and a Rx plan that makes me positively salivate when i think about it! > That's > cool about your dad. Is he a millionaire now or was this one of those > things done in the name of science? Unfortunately for the family's fortunes, he was doing the research under the auspices of the University of Florida. It was 12-13 years later that the UF vs. Robert Cade lawsuit over the creation of Gatorade came along and UF had to pay Cade some money for the rights they'd already sold to Stokely. If things had been different in the 50s......... Oh well, Daddy was such an absent minded professor, it's probably just as well. LOL His younger sister is still mad at the world for not giving him more recognition. LOL but his colleagues knew and that was enough for him. after Daddy's death, my brother was mentioning it to one of his scientifically oriented online friends. The friend said, "I never realized you were related to THOSE Reids!" LOL SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare >My brother does something similar for their prescriptions.

The friend said, "I never realized >you were related to THOSE Reids!" LOL Nann, I think it is really great that you are so proud of your father. I wrote a long reply to this but decided that it was too far off topic and might cause hurt feelings if I were to post it. So, I deleted it. However, the gist of it was that too many of today's kids aren't being provided the opportunity of having these type of memories of their fathers due to so many out-of-wedlock births, divorces, prison, and so on. Now I'm too tired to write a different, less controversial reply. I hope you can hold on to your samples and make it until September when you get your insurance coverage. Good luck. -- Kiyoshi - The reverse side also has a reverse side.

Many of us here realize that sometimes a person needs to put their thoughts,,, a little of their history in print. It helps a person to deal with the things that happen in their life,,,, to sort them out so to speak. Believe me when I say that I have never not said,,, because it would not play well on the big "Os" show. It helps us to deal with the hurts and pains that life can deal a person. Something that you may not realize is there are others that have had to deal with the same thing in their life and will share their feelings about it. That does not mean what is said might prick someone's tender spot and they may try to bite you for stretching their mind or making them face something.

Now I'm too tired to write a different, less controversial reply. I left this to reply to when my hands felt better and promptly forgot about it! LOL My father was definitely a "daddy". So is my husband. One of the initial things I liked about him was his insistance on remaining an active part of his daughter's life despite the divorce and his ex tricking him into giving her sole custody. He'd turned down better job offers to stay close to her. That dedication impressed me. Would that more kids had that in their lives. If you get into the whys and hows of the lack of involved fathers, things could get controversial but I don't think you'd get any argument on the idea that it is best for kids to have 2 involved and loving parents whenever possible.

The friend said, "I never realized > you were related to THOSE Reids!" LOL Funny how we tend to assume family is, well just family. I had the best Grandma in the world. We had a wonderful time together, and I am so grateful that my parents made sure I was able to spend a lot of time with her. I was twelve when she died. And absolutely amazed at the number of people at her funeral. A large church and people standing around the edges even. I was shocked to learn that all those people knew her. Jo Also Squirley if you have your security settings on High...OE will not let you open any attachments...I have that problem with them. I am glad that they are trying to help, but it won't let me open any attachment unless I go into my security settings and lower the level. Since I have a great virus protection, I reset my security protection on OE... If your virus protection is updated, I wouldn't worry too much about a virus... Hugs Cindy Kiyoshi and Cindy, Thank you both for the info. Cindy boy it took you to remind me that I had changed my security level. Boy I don't know about this brain fog at times. Dah. You helped me more than you will ever know. I now understand it all. SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too.
