I've had 3 endoscopies, the last one about 2005


I probably should have another one, just to check everything is still OK



The guy who did it WAS more experienced than Dea's :-D



The guy who does OH's also seem to be experienced

............ just leaves a little note on the pillow to say what has been done and what the next instructions are :-)

OH was at the dermatologist last week ......... he has these "spots" on his face, which they treat with liquid nitrogen.

If one of them at his temple is still not healed after 1 month, then he has to go back and have it cut out.


They are, of course, all pre-cancerous ........ and where the sun has caught him over the years .......... on the tips of his ears, his temple, and also on the backs of his hands.


OH has great fun with that guy ......... who is Welsh :-D

Lovely breakfast Sylvia - thanks you <3 <3 <3

No grandchildren today so I can stay inside in the warm. - LOTS to do though :-(

See you all later.

Dea Xxx

Thank you Sylvs.....super breakfast as usual.



Manic Wednesday is ahead of me............................... :-S

Thanks for that pic Gins...

I thought she looked like a cork screw....stupid woman.

We have been dismantling a tenants deck.. so I have a few splinters and scratches...

We knew when we purchased the place the deck would not last much longer.. it has done well.. whoever put it up left the concrete front steps in tact (thank goodness) and put the deck over the top and made new (at the time) front steps further out.
We will give them a deck but it won't be as large. The prats that made it used untreated wood for the decking ... so that is all going to our neighbours up the street for firewood.

Tomorrow I have to go to physio... my foot has never fully recovered from being broken two years ago, and I am sick of wandering off kerbs like Edna the inebriate woman.

Persie

Edit: My OH has had that colonoscopy several times and has suggested it to me.. but after watching the drama of what goes on beforehand no thank you... he had to eat lots of starchy food and then just liquid (not just going in either) .. buddy awful :-S

Gee, thanks for the graphics Persie..........just having my elevenses :-S :-S



My son has decking at the back of his house. His dad once, inadvertently called it 'planking'.

Planking it has remained!! :-D

Appropriate considering the "Plank"he has for a mother.. :-P

Excuses ,excuses Persie...
A broken foot making you look inebriated indeed,we all know the truth of the matter..!

Now have my scales and have completed my 12 days dieting, had my 2 days off which were Sat and Sun // started back again yesterday for nest 12 days


Have lost just over 2 kilos ( actually 2.3 ) so quite pleased

Will try and do better in this 12 day period


:-) hoping for :-D next time

also have all my body fat / hydration / bmi calculations

THANK GOODNESS I went down into the kitchen to make a start on Dinner !!!

Hubby has just managed to flood the bathroom, causing water to come through the kitchen ceiling, running down the light cables, into the bulbs and exploding them !!!............ Oh Joy !!! :-( :-( :-0

It all started with him fitting a new light in the bathroom which meant he had to fill in the hole from the old fitting and so paint the ceiling!

He had made quite a mess and as the bathroom was in need of a good clean (which I said I would start on in the morning), he decided he would make a start now (bless him! <3).

Unfortunately, he thought it best to 'hose down' the tiles around the bath with the shower head and was scrubbing away quite merrily, not bothering about all the water which was pouring onto the floor (he had put a towel down, after all !! :-0) - Anyway the water was not inclined to soak into the towel so travelled under the bath, through the floorboards and down through the kitchen ceiling!

Thank goodness I was down there at the time and could turn off the electricity and stop him so quickly :-D :-D :-D

THIS is why I don't like my lovely hubby to help with the cleaning - he just hasn't a clue !!! - He is brilliant at lots of things but a total disaster with others <3

Will have to cook dinner without the big lights on tonight, wearing my wellies and my rainhat until it all dries out ;-)

Dea Xxx

P.S. to Renes - looks like you are doing really well with the diet!

Well done,

Dea x

Oh good grief, you lot have been having fun....not

Nice cheery health chat and bathrooms in the kitchen. Who in their right mind would hose a bathroom down, unless its a sealed wet room!!

Long day, tired tired tired

Renes, thats a really good weight loss...well done :-D I get on my new scales tomorrow, so we'll see what they say

OH has not eaten anything containing seeds or nuts since Saturday, but could eat all other foods, until midnight on Monday.

Then he was on a purely liquid diet from yesterday morning.

Plus having to take a "clean out" medication beginning yesterday afternoon.


Worse for him was that he had bought beef bouillon to have as his "food", without noticing that he could not have any coffee or "dark" tea this morning............. we then assumed that would also cover "dark" broth.


.............. so he has had no breakfast other than jello today.


He has to check in at 2:15 pm ................... then I have to be ready to assume responsibility for him about 90 minutes later.



poor dear will be ravenous!!!

and


it is supposed to continue raining this afternoon ................. we have to take the bus to the hospital, and then a cab home



waterproof jackets at the ready!

Take care Sylvs - Hope all goes well !!

Huggs to OH but not too hard - don't want to squeeze anything out of him ;-) :-D :-D

Dea Xxx <3

Thanks Gins ( and good luck at weight in ) and Dea --- have 10 more kilos to go yet --- then I will be at the weight I was before I quit the weed !!!


Good grief Dea --- what a mess he made -- if you saw it on the telly you would not believe it

Good luck to OH Sylvia

Good heaven's Dea.........what an experience for both of you! Hope you soon get it all sorted. <3




Poor OH Sylvs.....I love the way you say you have 'to assume responsibility for him' .......... makes it sound as though he is being released on bail!! :-D :-D



Manic Wednesday is now over..........early night and, hopefully, a normal day tomorrow.......



I'll plank that Fans one day - cheeky wotsit that she is. Humph.


Night all.........xxx

rain rain rain all day



The news is good .......... one small polyp removed, go back to see the doc in 1 year, and have a colonoscopy in 2 years.

The polyp will be examined of course to make sure it isn't cancerous. But it doesn't seem that the doc was too concerned.



More rain tomorrow ........ so we are in a warm wet period




OH saw the first snowdrop in flower in our garden this morning
