COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Good morning/afternoon all.
I hope everyone has a good Thursday - this week has flown by again.
No change in the weather yet.
I'm meeting some friends for lunch and a quick catch up today so I'd better get organised.
See you later

You are probably right about your oxygen level. I felt the same way even with my daily inhaler similar to the one you take. (I remembered something ?) I take Anoro Ellipta and you take Trelligy. That's the better one but it has fluticasone which I can't take. I've been feeling a lot better since the doctor got me a nebulizer with Albuterol. I only have to use it once a day but I could use it every 4-6 hours if I need to. I didn't feel out of breath and really didn't think my total lack of energy was due to that but it was. I really needed that nebulizer years ago.

You reminded that we have a nebulizer and Albuterol. Rose needs to use it occasionally. I will ask the doctor if it would be beneficial for me.

All about rescuing galops!

I went to the skin doctor at 7:45 This morning to have a basal cell skin cancer removed off my nose.
Didn't get hone until after 1p. The spot was so small I didn't even know it was there. She used the Moh procedure where the doctor cuts out what she thinks is all the cancer and sends it to the lab while I wait to hear the results. The lab examines the specimen to see if it is surrounded by clean healthy cells, which mine wasn't, then gives the result to the doctor, who then goes back and cuts off some more. She had to go back in two more times before the lab gave the ok. I haven't had a chance to see my nose yet because I have to leave the bandage on for 48 hours, but from what I understand, she cut some sort of flap in my nose skin to stretch over the hole. And all this for a spot so small before surgery I didn't even know it was there. The numbing agent has started to wear off, an my face hurts!

I sympathise Yvonne.
I ignored a little brown patch by the side of my nose for 3 years, before I followed my sisters advice to get it checked out. Good job she nagged me because that was a melanoma.

I hope the painkillers help and that it heals quickly for you without any complications.

Aw'ww Yvonne, I hope it heals gently so it is not noticeable. and that the cancer does not pop up some where else. ?

The basal cell variety isn't a big worry and I've had several removed at one time or another, but this one on my nose hurts like hell!!!

I hope you are not to uncomfortable and glad they got it all even though they put you through that much??

I hope you don't experience much pain.
So will you need more surgery?

Good morning/afternoon all and Happy Friday!
Nothing to report here - same old weather and I'm just busy with mundane chores.
Sounds like Lola is out and crashing about so I'd better go and see what he's up to.
See you later.

Good morning all, getting colder weather here. Hopefully this is the last cold front. In a few days it will be 50° during the day and 30° at night. ?
I think I will bring Opo inside.

They took a skin graft about 4"×8" from the front of my left thigh. To graft on my right arm. When my leg tans in the summer. That area on my thigh doesn't tan.?

I run the heater every morning to take the chill off the house. Opo stuck his head out this morning and went back inside.

Has been Nice here for the last 3 weeks, Unfortunately, NO RAIN, and no rain projected for next 7 to 10 days. Our burst of rain in October and December will NOT be enought to tide us over. February & March are typically the wet month's but . . . I'm not holding my breath. Several years back I put in a grey water tank, but I use so little water in the house it has minimal impact . Only thing that goes out the front of the house, is the toilet. . .

Here is a interesting read.

Jonathan, the world’s oldest tortoise at 190 years old, ‘still has good libido’

“He is now mostly blind due to cataracts and has lost his sense of smell, nevertheless he knows his territory so well,” his caretakers said.

Almost 40F here now @13:00, but snowing

A bit of a coastal storm heading our way from now through the morning hours. East & North of here prediction is for close to a ton of snow. @Chefdenoel10 better hit the liquor store early then batten down your hatches for a long weekend.

I was looking at my face in the mirror this a.m. and I've got the biggest circles ever under my eyes!! Plus it looks like they've given me a pig nose. Hopefully it's just the bandage pulling my nose up, and not the skin sewed up too tight. At this rate I may drown if i stand outside in the rain.

Oh man! Jonathan isn't a mammal. What's wrong with those people?!!

I hope it's not too bad for you.
Scotland and the North of England have a weather warning in place because of Storm Malik arriving from Denmark this weekend . We should only get some stronger wind gusts on out side of the UK. I hope they don't have too much damage.
