A CP, and a .......

TOPP #20!!!!!! ......

....... do I need

Hehe! Heidi, you need all the help you can get.

More than you think. I've been feeling a bit itchy for the last couple of days, with a mild headache. All of a sudden, the itch started going out of control. When i looked just now, I was shocked.... I've got a nasty, raised, blistery rash pattern on my sides... more on the left. It looks like Shingles.

I have an appointment with my leg surgeon tomorrow morning. My GP's office is 2 doors down. I think I'm gonna do a walk- in.

Could be pityriasis rosea Heidi. Did it start with one small herald patch?

fellow SA8ers

Did the yrdnual today and some clipping of the hanging pots as well. Slowly getting back into a daily routine...if life would stop interfering!

Yeah know the feeling Gail....takes ages to get back to normal doesn't it.

It seemed to start mostly across the left ribcage (bra area). Large area. And a 2 inch circle on my face at the same time.

I just looked that up, Gail. Doesn't look like mine. This has the same location patterns of Shingles.

But I will ask my Doctor tomorrow.

But what is normal anyway Susan!

Heidi, I mentioned it because I just spent the weekend with my father and he has a rash that has been seen by a million specialists with scrapings and biopsies taken. He showed it to me and the first thing that jumped into my head was PR. He had told me about it over the phone, but it wasn't till I saw it, and he told me where it is on him that I made this presumptuous diagnosis.
I had it when I was younger. It is also known as 'the t-shirt rash' because it seems to be on the trunk and down the arms to where a t-shirt would be. Sometimes, mild exposure to UV can help.

Back later, I have to pop down to the shops for some sour cream. Making Beef Strog tonight, still trying to use up meat in the freezer, and not buy anything major till shopping day. Sour cream doesn't count!
Bye.

One of my favorite all time meals, Gail. LOVE Beef Stroganoff. Am I invited???

It's past 1 a.m. here. Good Night, SA8!

I CAN'T SLEEP!!!! i went to bed at 9:40 tonight and tossed and turned until almost midnight! i am soooo tired, but my head won't shut down. i was up at 6 this morning and unlike heidi, did not have a five hour nap or even a 5 min. nap! i am going to be a monster tomorrow!

And it's past 2 am here, so....... EVERYONE.

I love the medusa, mariana. Nobody can do drama like an Italian.

heidi!!!! you crazy lady!! go to bed! no naps for you tomorrow. you have got to get your internal clock back on schedual! oh, no!!!! i've turned into a monster mommy already!

man! i am good! all i have to do is think it and heidi obeys! let's try this....no more spiders, no more spiders!

I'm not really here, Mariana, as I really MUST try to get some sleep, but can't resist saying, HI!

JULIE!!!! do i have to get on your case as well? it's nice to see you. have a good rest!

all righty. with this avatar change i shall head off to try luck at sleeping again. buona notte.

Sleep well, Mariana! Good Night, Everyone! I'm off to bed! Hope to see you sometime tomorrow.

Heidi, Mariana and Julie.
Back to bed you go. You need your beauty sleep.

Hi Viv! I just went out for a while, but seeing I was at the shopping centre I just had to look at the clothes for a while. Some of the new fashions are just horrendous! (Even on young, slim people, I'm sure!) But finally found some things that (in MY opinion!) don't look too bad. It's quite depressing sometimes when nothing fits.

Sooooooo Dag, how did it all go or have I missed the update???????

BTW tried to google yrdnual, geez I am slow sometimes!

hehe Say nothing Gail, it will only get you into trouble!

Evening all!
Not really here but I wanted to watch NCIS and everyone else is watching 2.5 men so here I am, in the alone room..

I had a beaut weekend. The drive there and back was easy peasy. Didn't go 'L' for leather but made good time anyway. Spent most of the time except for the last night with Bill, my father. He and I went through a lot of Mum's things and I have wrapped them all and brought them back home with me to disperse amongst the rest of my sibs. Mum collected paperweights, and while I knew she had heaps, I was gobsmacked at just how many there were. I should have counted them!
I slept in Mum's bed on Thursday night, then on Friday we knocked everything down and got it ready for the removalists to pick at lunchtime. The two blokes were great, very sensitive and good to have a convo with. From then on it was just a matter of wrapping her knick knackery and packing a few of the clothes items that Bill had yet to deal with.
He and I had a lovely oportunity to talk a few things through and I know it was good for both of us. He is doing quite well, playing golf once a week again (he was virtually housebound in Mum's last months) and is planning to visit an old school friend in Mt. Gambier for a few days. He has the chance to live again.

Hey Suzy, me too! Tuesday nights is 'cry night', a phrase my hubby coined because the shows I watch are real tear jerkers! Those shows have finished now, so I have let him have the TV back again. He and D#3 are watching Stargate...over and over again!

I also caught up with my brother, who turns 50 in May, so I will probably be going over there again. I may also 'pop' over there at the beginning of April as it will be Bill's 80th, the first of the firsts. He says he doesn't want to do anything for it, but I think it will break my heart to let it pass without any fanfare at all. Maybe I should take a tinwhistle over with me, just a little fanfare!

On Sunday night, I went up to my girlfriend's house to celebrate her birthday. She's so old, she turned 46 (I can say that because I am, and forever will be, a month younger than her!). We had a lovely night, good food and a little bubbly (I had to be restrained, I was driving home the next day). After everyone else had left or gone to bed, she and I stayed up till too late and finished off the rest of the bubbly! Someone had to do it!
We did a lot of talking and reminiscing and used a lot of tissues talking about our dear departed mothers. It was very cathartic.

Hi Gail, the tin whislte sounds good, and a cake, a card, and everyone else who can make it with their own tin whistles!

That actually sounds like a very emotional weekend - ups and downs, happies and sads...

Hey Gail, what do you mean OLD at 46!!
I just turned 54 last month and don't think that is old... ancient maybe but not old

I know Brenda, just stirring the pot.

Hi Suzy didn't see you there

Your time away sounds as if it did you and your dad good Gail, getting to talk after all the emotional time after losing your mum
