Granny's gone and done it again

[ShrekDawg]

Don't be. It's not like going to see how much cancer has spread....

Good point

Good point

And you have not given her a reason to............

My nurse SIL called it a brown cow (purple cow has grape juice) and recommended warming it slightly in the microwave.

Granny, you have tried this before, with good results. Your PP (pain pills) tend to constipate you.

Ha! Never heard it called a brown cow, we always called it a purple cow I guess because plums are purple? Maybe it's a regional thing since the last time I mixed one up I was working in IL.

If we really wanted to get things on the move for a patient we would dump in an ounce of Miralax. I never had to go to those efforts with one of my patients. They usually saw me coming with the glass of prune juice and MOM and immediately had to go in order to avoid the cocktails.

I have the IBS with C. Big time C. My gastroenterologist told me to drink at least 80 ounces of fluid a day, eat high fiber, use Miralax and Fibercon. I have to say, it does work except my stomach doesn't tolerate the high fiber any more so I just use the water, Miralax and Fibercon.

Oh, and avoid stress. Like who can do that in today's world. Doc once told me he never advised people to avoid stress because life by it's very definition is stressful.

life by it's very definition is stressful.

Lol, true that! Stress is what holds buildings up and bridges together. Stress is the stuff of life. We just have to manage it. Too much stress or the wrong kind can also take buildings, bridges, and people down! Balance, that's the key.

Wow, IBS/C, you've been dealt a challenging hand. Again, managing it is the key. But everybody has something .... I'm just so happy right now that my hands don't hurt. When fall and winter come, I'll suffer then but right now I'm all skippidy doodah!

I sure hope Granny can get some of her issues squared away ....

I think I have either out lived or out grown IBS. I've only had one attack in the last couple of years. The twenties were the worst and each new decade it lessened. The last I researched there was no know cause or cure.

I wish there was something besides Meloxicam for finger pain from arthritis. It's hard on the body and doesn't do a lot.

Goodnight Granny Land. I've had meds and a shower. My pillow needs me now.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

Granny you might be lucky Twist was not on tonight.

Why?

While out mowing today something under the John Deere broke that supports the mower deck. It dropped back under the rear tire and could only start to roll backwards. Now it will not go forward or backward and it would be out at the back forty.

Didn't you just get that mower fixed

Still isn't. I have it too

Yes I put a mower belt on after the one on it broke. This is something entirely different. I think that crazy looking bolt that supports the front end of the deck came off. Granny that IBS is a real monster. It used to always attack me between 2 and 3 in the mornings. I could only sit and feel like I was passing jagged pieces of glass. At least once a week. When I described this to my doc at the time he told me it was IBS with no known cause or cure. I had a horrible attack about 3 months ago and that was the first in several years. It made up for it. I'm hoping now I can go a few more years. If I do odds are it will have to attack someone else.
