Lori & JoBa ...

LORI:  My loss of appetite is not nausea at all .. it is just not hungry when on higher level of Synthroid!  I would have to remind myself to eat!  Yet, did not lose weight mind you LOL!!

JoBa:  I didn't see you on the 6:00 or 11:00 PM Nat'l News ... so I assume you made it through the workday w/o {{{{{{{{{ incident }}}}}}}}}}}}} ROTFLOL .. joke joke joke to anybody censoring this.

I still await (patiently) the results on my dd's cultures and tests ... the wait is the worst. BUT I did get her in for an Oct 4th appt with a fabulous Pedi GI and he is going to review her symptoms and old chart from 6 yrs ago and call me back if they want her in sooner.  Th

The GI office suggested she be seen regardless if negative or positive results as they are experts in the field and do not want anything overlooked.   SHe has history 6yrs ago of small ulceration and this Doc pinpointed it 1-2-3 while others dragged their feet for months blaming her weight gain at the time on inactivity, she was gaining 2-3lbs/week at the age of 11 She ate bcz of severe hunger pangs from the ulcer and Mylanta did nothing!!! So {{{{ hello }}}}}} fools a person will gain weight if eating excessively from severe hunger pangs!  This go-around it is loss of appetite and nausea .. two different spectrums here  LOL!  Yet she is eating but not her usual style or amount.

I do know about the tinfoil hats. Unfortunately, the hoods we use are biosafety cabinets that are vented to the outside. I really don't want to put that on my head. But maybe a full face shield would be ok. I think it would go nicely with a tinfoil hat.

Maybe I should post a picture of my poop cake on the chicken club website. I kid you not, people had a cake decorated with a big brown frosting **** and plastic flies on it for my 50th birthday. Somehow I don't think we'll see it on Martha Stewart anytime soon.

Have a good weekend. I'm off to my work-hole to slave away.

Maybe you can wear your ventilated work-hood to a tinfoil chicken club meeting one day ..... ? ....... You know about the tinfoil hats from earlier postings, right?  You qualify.

I'm sorry, but that is just so funny I really am laughing out loud. We have ventilated hoods at work, so it's not so bad.

I don't really want this new job (it's the top spot in the division), but I got my arm twisted by the outgoing director. The only other qualified internal candidate is truly an evil nutcase (I'm not kidding, she's totally mentally ill). So I guess that makes me the lesser of the evils. I must say, though, it made people really glad that I was back. My office is filled with flowers and there is a caterpillar living in one of the bouquets and he is pooping on my desk. Oops, there's the poop thing again. I guess we've come full circle. I just can't get away from it =/  LOL

Poop IS a Stinky subject.  OK OK .. let me tell you the few details that I left out of the orig story with the capture ... I scotch-taped a dryer sheet across my nose/mouth in a nice, fresh scent and when I got sick into this dryer sheet I actually thought to myself anything is better than what I was smelling before :::::: G R O S S, eh?::::::: So, true confessions are out on the table ::wink wink:::

Good luck with the interview ... you are very people-oriented which is a great asset, when not homicidal of course,  Most who deal with samples all day I bet can be rather techno and not people oriented!

Glad your co-workers got a chuckle .. this is one I won't forget for a long time and I better not have to repeat ANY of it for new tests!

Yeah, I made it through the day without causing bodily harm to anybody. And today I made up for it by going out to lunch and having a giant cheeseburger and fries. My people have learned about my homicidal tendencies when I am hungry and have learned to ask me when I have last eaten before they talk to me about anything that might make me unhappy. Sometimes they even bring me candy so that we all come through it ok.

I hope they figure out what's up with your daughter and I'm glad you survived your stool collection incident (speaking of ROTFLOL, I told folks at work about that). I am going to write a thank you note to my ENTs, and I'd like to find some way to thank them for having (most likely) saved my life. But the only thing I have to offer is a priority stool culture (LOL!) I guess it's better than nothing.

You have a good weekend also. I will, unfortunately, be working because I have been granted an interview for a new (internal) job and I have to make some slides for a presentation for that and my Colorado talk. It definitely keeps me busy.

You know, that's the kicker of the whole thing.  You'd think if you weren't eating as much (I haven't been for weeks), that you'd lose some of the poundage.  But nooooooooooooo!!  It's almost like "Oh!!  She's not eating so much, so we'll just "adjust" to this level."  Now I'm afraid what's going to happen when my appetite comes back and I actually start eating again.  I'm sure it won't adjust the other way.  Darned complicated bodies anyway!!!

Take care, Cheryl and have a most excellent weekend!!
