cooee my dearest sprite. sorry i missed your entrance but my tummy was growling at me for food...lol
1:25 am
sprite

lol tsk, to know that food wins out over my delightful company... Hi sweetie, how are you holding up today?
1:27 am
grannyrose

not too bad actually. i tried the upright bike in the gym this morning. no pain from hips at all but knee was nasty. it locked on me. made me yelp. scared the bejeezus out of the assistant.
1:28 am
sprite

great that the hips were not yelling. Still, souonds like the upright bike might be for the near future, not quite yet
1:28 am
grannyrose

did you get much rest yesterday? and how was your night?
1:29 am
sprite

I finally got Rob to listen and go to a local gp. And glad we went because his inflammation values were 44 (20 counts as heightened). So new AB.
1:29 am
grannyrose

not cyling the full circle. just half circle down then back up again.
1:29 am
grannyrose

phew! that is high! glad you nagged him.
1:30 am
sprite

no, yesterday was horrid. I asked Caya to walk the dogs in the afternoon so I could go to bed after the noon walk. And I did. Then Rob decided it was the day to finally call a local gp. So I got out of bed, into clothes again, in the car, to the gp, to the apothecary.... plus some additional madness. I was crying by the time I got back to bed.
1:31 am
grannyrose

* giggle * it's easier for me to peddle backwards would you believe?
1:31 am
sprite

lol
1:31 am
grannyrose

awww honey. not good at all my love. i can well believe the tears.
1:32 am
grannyrose

did you take one with the lot at bedtime?
1:32 am
sprite

so I did take sleeping meds, am feeling a little more human this morning
1:32 am
grannyrose

and my question is answered.
1:35 am
grannyrose

my gp has come up with the idea of increasing the tapentadol in view of reducing my usage of endone. for crying out loud! anyone would think i was scoffing them like lollies. one/day. and on a really bad day when even sitting hurts a second one before bed.
1:35 am
sprite

what is tapentadol?
1:36 am
grannyrose

that's all i take. will talk it over with dr chris when i go in for infusion. tapentadol is a fully synthetic opioid. supposedly not so addictive.
1:38 am
sprite

good idea to talk that over with the pain doc. Seems your gp has some bad experience with patients who become addicted and she is not realising you are in no danger of that. Maybe your pain doc can write her a note.
1:38 am
grannyrose

my usage of the endone only increases during the 3-4 weeks before my infusion time.
1:39 am
sprite

remember when the gp assistant did not give me my oxazepam in time for new year? And I had to go through the whole ordeal of fireworks and carbid blasts without it? I got an apology and never again any problems since Noud wrote my gp about it :)
1:39 am
grannyrose

she has written him a letter for me to hand to him when i go in.
1:40 am
sprite

great. He can set her straight in his answer.
1:41 am
grannyrose

how can i forget? it was so bad! all i wanted to do was rush over there and snot that person a good one, right on their hooter. i was so mad.
1:43 am
sprite

yeah that was hell. And very unfair of her, though I can understand her frustration with patients who want to get their recipes in before the new year (with the new ... what do you guys call that... we have to pay a certain amount of money ourselves before the insurance kicks in). But she should have read my file and realise that was not me.
1:44 am
sprite

or listened to me explaining it, lol. Ah well, water under the bridge. Last few New Years I managed very well.
1:45 am
sprite

so let's hope your pain doc can ease her mind. He needs to tell her you are undermedicating, never overmedicating. And you are so scared of getting addicted you tend to not take the endone when it is absolutely indicated.
1:46 am
grannyrose

i am absolutely sick and tired of being treated like i am an addict. my gp is fully aware of how cautious i am with my endone usage.
1:46 am
sprite

another idea, not sure how that works in Oz. Here, a specialist can write you a recipe as well. No need for the gp to get involved, just informed.
1:48 am
grannyrose

except my insurance does not cover private consults. medicare covers some of the fee but the rest of it has to come out of my pocket. and that can be upwards of $200.
1:49 am
grannyrose

some specialists are very kind, and refuse to charge what they are allowed to charge. like my gastoenterologist and his anaesthetist. both bulk bill, with no out of pocket charges at all.
1:51 am
sprite

ouch. Yeah, that was why I asked. It is different in other countries. Here, meds from specialists are almost always covered. After we have paid the standard amount of money ourselves. Usually, Rob and I let the insurance split it over 5 months, so we don't have to cough up almost 800 euro in the first month of the year
1:54 am
grannyrose

oh the meds are covered by our public health service. but the specialist fees are only partially covered which can be a huge draw back.
1:55 am
grannyrose

here we have to have a face to face consult with the specialist to have them write a prescription.
1:55 am
sprite

wow that is bad. Specialist fees here are always covered, as long as the specialist is contracted with the health insurance company.
1:56 am
sprite

also to repeat a prescription? Here they can repeat without a consult. Or they can prescribe for a certain number of refills.
1:57 am
sprite

fireflies
1:57 am
grannyrose

we only took out hospital cover initially. but as we get older i think we might have to reconsider our insurance cover.
1:57 am

10:18 am
hokie carla

my brother ran one of their albums into the ground so bad I never wanted to hear them again.
10:19 am
rururocks

yeah.. i'm like that with Nora Jones.. My ex used to play her albums incessantly and would drive me nuts.. and the frigging Lark Ascending
10:19 am

I gotta wonder what possessed him to get so many facial tattoos ..
10:40 am
hokie carla

I wonder that about anyone with them
10:40 am
hokie carla

jelly roll, post malone
10:42 am
rururocks

I just find tattoos so unappealing.. especially on the neck, face ... they don't look great on women either
10:43 am
rururocks

that comment will get me in trouble I bet
10:43 am
BzznBea

I have a tattoo.
10:44 am
hokie carla

completely agree. so normalized now with genz and millennials. not a fan here. no offense to anyone here who's covered in them, I just think they look terrible, esp the ones that look like a kid scrawled them on in marker.
10:44 am
rururocks

one tattoo is fine .. bea.. dozens? not so good
10:44 am
hokie carla

is it on your face or neck, bea, or a giant one covering your back?
10:45 am
rururocks

it's a big boxer face on her shoulders
10:45 am
BzznBea

It's on the back of my right calf. A spool of thread and needle.
10:45 am
EvaNadine

to each their own.
i have 3 currently, with at least 2 more planned.
and if finances werent a limiting factor, i would have a lot more.

i dont care what anyone else thinks -- theyre for me, not anyone else.
we are born into one body and one life -- im gonna decorate it the way i want and make it mine.
10:46 am
hokie carla

yeah, you do you
10:47 am
hokie carla

I'm saying this without knowing where yours are, but have often wondered about the people that say they get them for them, but they're like on their back, where they can't even see it.
10:48 am
EvaNadine

you dont have to be able to see it for it to have meaning to you.
10:48 am
rururocks

I couldn't handle the needle so I'd never get one
10:48 am
rururocks

I'm adverse to needle pain
10:48 am
hokie carla

also, I have often wondered about the people (no one specifically here) who complain about having no money but being covered in tattoos, which obviously cost a lot of money.
10:49 am
rururocks

well you also have green hair eva so maybe the tats work with the color scheme :D
10:49 am
EvaNadine

different artists/studios charge different rates.
IMO you get what you pay for.
so the pieces i want -- i know they will cost a pretty penny, so im saving up for them.
but that said, if you have a regular artist or no someone...you can get a good deal.
10:49 am
hokie carla

could you explain that, eva? I promise I'm just trying to understand better. if you can't see it, then aren't you getting it for other people to see?
10:50 am
clg47

Oh yes, I worked with a young man that complained about having no money for rent. Couldn't keep my mouth shut, I reminded him he just spent $800 on the tats on his arm.
10:51 am
rururocks

I just don't get it.. but I'm an old fart what do I know
10:52 am
hokie carla

I'm gen x which seems to be split on the whole tattoo thing
10:52 am
rururocks

one of my friend's partner is totally inked up. I imagine it'd be like making love to a comic strip
10:52 am
EvaNadine

its more that the MEANING of it is for me.
i dont care one way or another if someone else can see it or what they think about it.
but i dont need to SEE it to feel the meaning of it.
IDK, its hard to explain.
10:52 am
hokie carla

ruru, are you seeing gonads in this grid? LOL
10:53 am
hokie carla

okay, well thanks for trying, sincerely
10:54 am
EvaNadine

i have one on my lower back, left side.
when i was younger, people could see it. nowadays, hardly anyone sees it.
i have another on my shoulderblade.
and a third on my forearm.
10:54 am
hokie carla

wondering if bea will chime in on how painful a calf tat is
10:55 am
rururocks

no hookie I missed seeing gonads but the balls in your court now
10:55 am
EvaNadine

i am very aware that when people see me with my gree hair + my tattoos, they make certain assumptions about the kind of person i am. but IMO, that assumption is on them, not me. because i am intelligent, hard working, kind, and a damn good person. i have been in the same job for nearly 25 years, and im a fantastic mother.
10:56 am
BzznBea

That's all that matters, Eva.
10:56 am
rururocks

I agree with that Eva.. you are a very intelligent and fun person. I bet you're a great mother too. He's a lucky kid.
10:57 am
EvaNadine

surprise, im a PTA mom!
10:58 am
clg47

It's addictive. I also worked with a brilliant woman that got a tattoo every time she was depressed. When I first worked with her it was a single rose on her chest. The last time we had lunch together it was tats up and down her legs, I didn't ask about any other private areas.
10:58 am
rururocks

do you share custody with your ex with the kid eva?
10:58 am
EvaNadine

yup. we split 50-50
10:59 am
hokie carla

shoot, I'm 52 and still like wacky colors in my hair. just don't want to do anything permanent.
10:59 am
hokie carla

permanent on my skin I mean
10:59 am
rururocks

that's good. Glad he's in the kid's life
10:59 am
hokie carla

clg, I've heard that before. like there's something in the ink that makes it addictive. LOL.
10:59 am
rururocks

I know several people addicted to getting tattoos
11:00 am
EvaNadine

yeah. i wish he were a BETTER dad, but hes not terrible by any means. he loves his kid + we are *relatively* amicable.
11:00 am
rururocks

it is / can be an addiction
11:00 am
rururocks

love is what matters most eva
11:01 am
rururocks

I'm friends with my ex again. it's been good for both of us.
11:01 am
EvaNadine

kiddo is getting straight A's and getting awards at school for kindness and generally being a decent human.
i think ive done ok so far!
11:01 am
clg47

you have, keep up the good work
11:02 am
rururocks

he's going to be successful in life from being raised right good on you eva
11:02 am
EvaNadine

if we didnt share a child, i would have nothing to do with my ex. i dont have ill-will toward him, but he still does all the things that drove me crazy. but we DO share our son, so its important to me that we get along + can coparent. we may not be family with each other, but we are both our sons family.
11:02 am
rururocks

things like what?
11:03 am
EvaNadine

hes a narcissist. hes manipulative and when he doesnt get his way he can get aggressive. everything is his way or the highway.
11:03 am
rururocks

oh ugh.. good riddance
11:03 am
EvaNadine

YUP
11:04 am
EvaNadine

he thinks hes SUPER complicated and no one can really understand him...but in reality, hes about as deep as a teaspoon. hes truly a Psych 101 textbook case.
11:04 am
hokie carla

lol
11:04 am
rururocks

i've gotten a lot better at spotting narcissists and avoid them like the plague
11:05 am
rururocks

I've been a magnet for them in my earlier life
11:05 am
EvaNadine

to this day, though, i still believe he is smart. i know he MEANS well, even if he cant get out of his own way to DO well. i realized in hindsight that i married the potential of who i thought he could be rather than who he actually was.
11:05 am
rururocks

oh.. that makes sense and he probably love bombed you too
11:06 am
hokie carla

love bombed? never heard that
11:06 am
rururocks

it's a narcissistic trap
11:07 am
EvaNadine

you mean how, even though we had dated in college, then split up + didnt speak for 8 years, when we reunited, he told me about how he thought about me every day for 8 years + called me "the one who got away" ?
yeah. deffo love-bombed me.
11:07 am
hokie carla

speaking of traps, I have a lot to do today yet I'm chatting with you lot. ;) 35 left for later. TTFN
11:08 am
rururocks

I'd better get on my way too. Take care everyone. Thanks for explaining the tattoo thing to me eva. I have had a hard time understanding the passion people have for them.
11:09 am
EvaNadine

our differences are what make us interesting!
11:09 am
rururocks

ha! you couldn't be more different than me.
