Hi!

Checkin' in!

I'm on my way to my attorney's office after taking kids to school. The guy I was in a suit with decided to sign settlement papers yesterday. I'm glad. The whole thing has been going on since November and has added more stress on some days than I wanted to deal with.

Food front is good. I haven't lost any more weight, but have stayed steady with no gain. My body tends to lose weight, then plateau for longer than I like, then lose again, so....what a fun pattern!

Last week, I received my DD's allotment of Girl Scout cookies----60 boxes. I haven't had one, so I think I can handle having cookies around now....lol. I've been eating the new variety golden carrots and apple slices when I want something sweet. We'll head out to the airport in the next few weeks to help sell cookies to the pilots I used to work with! They need something to go with all that coffee they drink! Tomorrow, we're headed to an upscale market to try and sell there!

Glad the vote is over and we can look forward to gettin' 'Licked'.

Maddie~ Thanks for the laughs last night!

Deemarie! Congrats on the loss! Full steam ahead, girl!

Raeanne, I missed doing laundry with you last week, but Sunday, I'l be here!

I'm going to spend the weekend cleaning my yard knick knacks, bird bath, and cute signage out ("Free mole, you catch" and "Free leaves, you rake"). The landscaper starts Monday. He's tearing out my front and back yards and redoing EVERYTHING. I really can't wait.

AND, I'm sorting out all my books and taking them to Half Price Books to sell. I have kept too many books that don't mean anything to me any more. Can you tell I picked up a copy of Feng Shui made simple at IKEA? lol.....well, whatever works in this ole fish camp!

Oh, I went to the doc yesterday and got the okay to start working on arm weights. I started weight training on Tuesday (just arms for now) just to get the jump on things. It's every other day. I'll start abs next Monday. I had blown a stitch or 2 last week, but it's got a butterfly on it now and is good to go....me too!

Cheers! and CHECK IN if you lurk today!

Take care, and I'll try to check in later.

Happy Birthday Raeanne! May this year be filled with happiness, health and continued strength to go where you want to go, be who you want to be and to do all that you can in life. LOL and Hugs Raeanne! And now, for the news. Peggy and Dave are really confused. My husband is just as abnormal as I am medically. He did an hour with a recorded blood pressure machine. Leave it to Dave to totally baffle the nurse. His blood pressure readings drop 40 points after his doctor's visit 48 hours previously. Of course he had the entire weekend to get worked up. He also stopped taking 2 brand new medications - we don't know if they were part of the problem or not. He still has a heart scan being booked. His bloodwork has shown enzymes that are present after a heart attack. I am expecting "something" to show up on the scan because of the enzymes. I'm not worried so much anymore as too more curious - how can this be? When we get the results from that we can move forward. But his blood pressure is a huge relief. I too wonder about the pills he was put on. We'll see. Stay tuned for another episode of "We're Not Normal". On a lighter note - went to a charity shop today to purchase jeans. My size 14's are getting too lose so I got a couple of pair of 11-12s (whatever that means today). Out of 5 pair of jeans I liked enough to try on, only 2 fit. One tag said 11-12 but I could have wrapped the zipper area across itself a good 4 inches in totally. And there must be a pattern/industry design problem with that size because I also noticed it's the largest space consumed by one size in the women's jean racks. What a pain in the a$$ trying jeans on. Of course everything fabric related I purchase now from charity goes right into a garbage bag and stays shut until everything goes directly into a sanitizing wash run. Don't care to bring home bed bugs. The Ottawa area stores have posted signs warning people to take precautions because once one item that is infested gets into any recycled clothing store the store is considered infected. Makes sense to me. Every jean that I think would fit and I like, before I take it off the rack to try on, I do the pocket test to make sure the pocket is big enough so my wallet won't pop out. Today's hand testing revealed 3 advil in one pocket - so the jeans were worn, then tossed into a charity bag - unwashed. I even purchase bed sheets and some for quilting - everything gets sanitized. And then some. I spent $12 on 2 pair of good quality jeans. Bargoooon. But I did have fun in there. Got a huge aluminum roasting pan with lid - for a whopping $6.00 - bargooon. $12 on a percale soft/strong queen size sheet set - bargooon. And a few other small items. Bargooooooooooon. Had a lot of fun. Spent an hour in there - could have spent another but hubby happily took off to do the groceries. Came back just as I was getting tired of hunting down jeans and starting to enter....Peggy's Danger Zone.....I was going to start browsing more that today's purpose of going there. Danger, danger I say. I have been known to spend hours in big charity shops. But mentally it was better than a bottle of prozac. So I can retire a couple of pairs of jeans - making a jean bed spread for my niece. My pal who is on a health journey, weight loss all in one is also entering a smaller jean size - she's donating her jeans. There's no going back once the jeans have been cut. Saving the top part to make jean purses for both of us. So that's my Thursday. Still holding around 135. Very, very happy. And Dave is making a stir fry dinner tonight with a ton of veggies. He was on a mission at the store. His cooking is heaven. (And he gets more veggies in his meals this way.) One night a week to let go and enjoy. Have a wonderful evening too! LOL Peggy

Thank-you all for all of the wonderful words that you had to say about me. I have loved it here for 6 years now almost & kind of hide out now & then when Dave is having his ups & downs b/c I think you might be tired of hearing about it. He was so kind to me today. We didn't have any money so we filled the car with gas & picked up our friends & took a road trip to Apollo Beach where the power plant is that the manatees stay at during the winter. It was such a surprise. He wouldn't say where we were going. Said friends picked up breakfast, lunch, & a t-shirt of the manatees. Much to my father's dismay, I forgot to take a camera. I have been so afraid that they would be completely extinct before I got over there to see them. We saw about 15. It was a lovely time. BJ~Have a safe trip. I know that you & Besh will have a great time together. Yesterday was the horse race over in Tampa. I wanted to be there so bad b/c they are going to have a horse racing in the KY Derby. Sun King is the name of the horse. Marci~Carrot cake is my dessert too. LOL Thanks for the beautiful gif. Gretchen & Tikanis~Great to see you posting. Gretchen~DS proposed around here & that was the last that I have seen of him in FL. LOL I have to go to TX if I want to see them. Shout out to everyone! Sending love your way & hoping that your spring started out as good as mine! (It was 79 degrees here!) Patti :)

Hey all! Just got back from my gal pal's house. We totally bushwhacked her entryway landscaping and cleaned it up a lot! Her DH and she were loving all the light and energy that was flowing through there. The overgrowth had blocked the light to her front door and she couldn't see her driveway from her front door! The ferns had bolted through the evergreens and were stalky, 8-9 feet spindles of stem! So, we filled lawn bag after lawn bag of ivy, brush, branches, and tree needles. We worked for a full, non-stop 5 hours on cutting and bagging. Her DH powerwashed their deck and my teens babysat all the little ones. It was so much fun and so cool to see the result...not too mention the exercise we got! I may be sore tomorrow, but I'm jazzed tonight. Sunday, my 14 y.o. and I are headed to Costco to buy supplies for the local tent city that moved to the local church this week. It's a homeless, well-regulated group of homeless working citizens that move their city of tents from church property to church property every 90 days. They don't cause any trouble; they're just without homes. Anyway, some communities like them and some are frightened of the image they bring... We like nice humans, and they are, so we're going to visit with some donations for them. They publish a list of needs each week on the tent city website, so people can help. They give tours of their encampment to the folks who visit, and I really want the kids to see that everyone should help and not ignore the plight of people who are just down on their luck, partly because of our lousy economy. After that, we're cleaning and DH and I are hosting dinner for 2 other couples (good friends) and their kids. The kids are eating, then watching Racing Stripes. Then the adults will eat and catch up with each other. Catch you after that! Raeanne~ I think I'll stick with coffee for now, but the gin/tonic sure brings back foggy memories of night-clubbing in the early eighties! ---- oooooohhhhh, la, la!! NHSuzanne- So cool you got to ride! Sounds so relaxing and peaceful. I'm happy you and SP got to connect again.... Besh~ A smaller dress size? I wish I could say that! Maybe sooner than later! Cheers!

Re: True Story About 'Rare' Hypothyroidism in Dogs
Q
Comments (11)
Based upon what Prarie love wrote, at least some people do believe that hypothyroid-induced seizures are common. Being hypothyroid and having seizures are not necessarily related, though they certainly can be. Unfortunately being that most animals do not get regular annual (twice yearly for older pets) bloodwork when they are healthy, but most people will get bloodwork done when their pet has a seizure, it is often the case that low T4 is discovered right after an animal has a seizure. But the seizure itself can cause low T4, and once the animal's seizures are controlled the T4 returns to normal- or not if the animal is on phenobarbital. This is euthyroid sick syndrome- normally functioning thyroid that is temporarily suppressed due to another disease. Euthyroid sick syndrome can be caused by any disease, including a disease that causes seizures or the seizures themselves. It doesn't hurt to judiciously supplement thyroid hormone in an emergency while waiting for a full thyroid panel, which takes 1-2 weeks (having just gotten one for my dog) as long as you don't go overboard, as oversupplementing thyroid hormone can be cardiotoxic. But you are not really controlling the seizures, you are actually preventing further seizures. In other words, even if a dog's seizures are caused by hypothyroidism, giving thyroid hormone won't do anything to stop the current seizures (explaination follows). The full thyroid panel can sort out euthyroid sick syndrome from true hypothyroidism if it is done prior to starting phenobarb, usually. Some pets refuse to be classified, like my own dog. I did a LOT of reading on this lately because my pathologists were stumped when I asked how hypothyroidism, which causes decreased cellular activity, could possibly cause seziures, which are caused by increased cellular activity. I would have asked the neurologists, but they were in rounds and then left before I could catch them. But I did find the info myself, and it seems that hyperlipidemia (VERY high serum triglycerides and/or cholesterol) may lead to atherosclerosis and then ischemic encephalopathy (low oxygen to the brain) due to hemorrhage or thrombus, causing seizures or other CNS signs (called a stroke in people). There are many causes for hyperlipidemia, hypothyroidism is one. One study showed that dogs that had atherosclerosis were 51 times more likely to be hypothyroid than dogs who did not have artherosclerosis (they showed similar results for dogs with diabetes mellitus). Hyperlipidemia may also cause hypercoagulable syndrome where an animal throws clots, which can end up anywhere. Clinical signs are referrable to location of clot, so if a dog threw a clot into the brain, that would also cause ischemic encephalopathy and possible CNS signs or seizures. Of course, bloodwork would pick up hyperlipidemia (well, a complete panel would show both cholesterol and triglyceride levels; some in-house machines can't do this), so waiting for a thyroid panel just tells you why the hyperlipidemia is present. Because hyperlipidemia may have causes besides hypothyroidism, it is much more important to include cholesterol and triglycerides in a seizure work-up than to include thyroid testing. You can always go back for a cause of hyperlipidemia if needed. That said, you need to have a full thyroid panel done before a pet is placed on phenobarbital because that drug suppresses thyroid hormone in some animals. It does not always cause clinical disease and may not always need to be treated. Once on phenobarb, it is very difficult to impossible to sort out true hypothyroidism from phenobarb-induced thyroid suppression. Without clinical signs though, there doesn't seem to be a need for treatment. Atherosclerosis appears to be rare in dogs overall, but common in dogs with hypothyroidism and diabetes mellitus. The actual incidence is unknown because you need either MRI, CT, or a necropsy to diagnose it. Most people don't have access to MRI or CT for their pets either because of expense or because it isn't available. And most people refuse necropsy. The unfortunate part about atherosclerosis is that once it is in the brain, you can't get rid of it, even by treating the underlying cause. If you can get the animal to stop having seizures and if there isn't too much permanent damage and if you can treat the underlying cause, you may be able to prevent more seizures depending upon how much of the brain is affected by atherosclerosis. The damage is done, and you have to prevent further atherosclerosis by treating the disease. In some cases, the damage to the brain may be too great and the patient dies despite best efforts, even if the cause was "just" hypothyroidism. Controlling hypothyroidism would also prevent further seizures due to hypercoagulable states caused by hyperlipidemia, but the same "ifs" apply. This is why supplementing thyroid hormone when presented with a seizuring animal isn't really necessary, even if the seizures are caused by hypothyroidism. You do need to control the hypothyroidism, but that can wait until the animal stops seizing and you have at least a clue of whether or not the animal is actually hypothyroid. It appears that the reason hypothyroidism is a rare cause of seizures in dogs is that most cases of hypothyroidism are diagnosed and treated long before a patient develops clincally significant hyperlipidemia and subsequent atherosclerosis. It seems that mild hypothyroidism without clinical signs does not cause the a high degree of hyperlipidemia, so the risk of seizures in this case is very small. I guess if you ignore the clinical signs long enough and don't do screening bloodwork on a regular basis, a dog could have severe hypothyroidism and seizures. BTW, collies are prone to hyperlipidemia without hypothyroidism, so in the case of poor Shelby, testing cholesterol and triglycerides is much more important than thyroid testing. You have to know what is common in certain breeds and ages, otherwise you end up running every test in the book and that is a waste of time, money, and effort.

OK, I'm back. I kept my Kashi cereal down and just ate an orange, so I think I'll go to the fitness center and do my 40-minute circuit.

I leave tomorrow at 5am for Florida, so I may not be back here until I get on the internet cafe on the ship next week. I expect all of you to behave! I'm going to put all of you in charge of Maddie, Raeanne, and BJ---they misbehave when I'm not around! LOL

Patti, hope you got those papers in order. You are a tower of strength when it comes to getting your act together, and I commend you. Don't know if I would have been as patient as the two of you have been. You deserve an end to this...a favorable end.

BJ, hope you will be taking it easy. We want you 100% when we meet next year!

OK, so where is everyone else? Hope you are all out exercising or thinking about all those healthy meals you are going to cook and eat while I am out to sea with 900 Italian men feeding me pasta! LMAO!!!

I expect to see posts from Joanne, John, Jen, and the rest of you who are MIA! Tell us how you are; we miss you!

Hi and [[[[[[[HUGS]]]]]]]] to everyone!!!

OK, really gotta go now.

I did spend my day in a very healthy way. I haven't exercise, but I usually take Thursday off (because I try to clean). I treated myself to a hot stone massage - wow - I feel like a new person. I also am making our Sticky Chicken recipe - MADDIE, I forgot to marinate it last night, so I didn't need the stapler LOL. I think it will taste fine. I also made coleslaw to go with it.

BJ - I don't think my DH likes the idea we are going someplace called French Lick and he isn't involved LOL.

I have to eat soon, as I go to my art class tonight. I think I am going to start a still life. She said we are going to do a fun collage too.

French Lick it is, then--ladies--this is gonna be so much fun! If anyone does want actual literature from there, I will be happy to go pick some up. (Give me a good excuse to spend a day just messing around!)

Gotta go--hope all is well!

Good morning folks!!

Nice and sunny today but gosh is it windy!!!
Maybe its a good thing I have extra poundage on board less I blow away!!

Dee, I had the bug last weekend. God bless imodium!!
Enjoy your vacation!!

BJ, The jeans arrived and they fit!! Amy was a bit taken back by how we wore them back then. She has never worn a pair of pants that went above the belly button before.
She said "gosh, you guys really wore these??"
I personally thing the hip pants (that cut a line acrossed your widest part) really make the young girls look heavier.
When she put these on she really did look slimmer....but try telling that to a media brainwashed teen!!

Thank you ever so much...you are so kind!!!

Last weeks hearing went as planned....no added custody to the mother. She had actually petitioned for every weekend in one way or another and the judge said no. "Lets just keep the order as it is and evaluate in 3 months".

Dan is satisfied for now although the mother is doing something really odd.
Every day for about 2 weeks, she has been pulling one or both boys out of school and running them to doctor after doctor for tests.
Is she hoping to find something wrong with them and then blame the dad???
So far they have gone to allergist, eye doctor, dentist, ear-nose and throat specialist, speech therapist, regular pediatric doc, dermetologist and 2 yes 2 counselers.

There is nothing wrong with these boys, even the judge said they appeared to be happy and healthy with dad!!

Oh well, I put my trust in my faith that the right thing will happen!!

Got mixed news from my own sons neuro doc this week.
His petit maul seizures have all but stopped but the others he suffers from have increased. So now he has to go through another round of testing the worst of which is a 72 hour EEG.
They will set him up at the hospital and send us home with the computers and monitoring equipment. Once home he'll be tethered to these devices for 3 whole days.
I scheduled this for April 12-15.

Last year the boy was so bored and uncomfortable so the good news is that I have a few weeks to come up with things to keep him occupied and busy.

No big plans for this weekend as I have to work.
Sunday is our St Paddy's day parade. I can't go but I do plan to have my corned beef and cabbage!!
No, there is no fat, calories, carbs or salt in corned beef and cabbage if your Irish and everyone is Irish this time of year!! Even lil ole German ME!! LOL

He's wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!!

PEACE!

Hi All:
Just checking int
Patti: Your Birthday package is headed to Florida - mailed it on Monday
Well I'm signed up for something called French Licks to meet women I have never seen before. Sounds like a basis for a good movie. Now I really need someone to tell me what French Licks is and where it is and when are we going and who is organizing.

Off to get my boob crushed (sorry John)today - just going to take it easy this weekend. It is snowing like the middle of winter and my tulips are up about 2 inches. Silly weather.

Take care,

Joanne~I'm looking forward to getting your package. I know that I will absolutely love whatever you send me!!

DeeMarie~I hope that you have a good trip & that you don't have a bug the entire time. I don't have the papers quite finished but they should be done within a week & I'll be out of that stressful situation as far as doing all of the legwork. Yippee!

As far as my liver goes, I'm having a CAT Scan done on it on Thursday of next week then I'm going to have a scope down my throat for GERD. Not looking forward to that. It isn't until the middle of April. I think that they plan some other testing too but it was hard to tell b/c the PA said one thing & the receptionist didn't mention it. Oh well! I've got a place at New Smyrna Beach, FL for 2006, perhaps, that I'm going to go & look up. Tomorrow, we are having a block party. I've organized a book club here & we are having the organizational meeting on the 26th. So, I'm beginning to get out & do a little bit more. Well, hope everyone enjoys their weekend. Patti :)

Good Morning Everyone!

Boy is it quiet here lately.

Patti good to hear from you. You sound very upbeat which is very nice to hear. Out and about is a good thing!!

Joanne, good to hear from you too. Glad that you will be joining us at French Lick next year!

I have a busy day ahead of me. I have to cook dinner for twelve tonight for my father in law! He is having alot of company and his regular person is on vacation so I volunteered as opposed to getting a caterer. No big deal really it's just that it's for him and his guests!

I am going to try to squeek in a short ride before that so I have to hit the road! I will check in later.

NH Suzanne - wowser - you are a lot calmer than I would be, if I were cooking for 12 (especially for the FIL) tonight - that was nice of you to volunteer. Hope you get that ride in with SP.

Patti - I agree with Suzanne, you are sounding very upbeat, that is a great attitude to have - as you are once again approaching another deadline - sounds like you will make it no problem.

BJ - since I was feeling brave this morning, I e-mailed a photo of my first painting to Marci. So maybe sometime this week it will be posted for the "world" to see LOL. I was complimented by DD#1 who thought it looked very good "even up close" LOL. I still prefer to view it from a distance while squinting.

DeeMarie - Thinking of you sailing the high seas, while the snowflakes are falling here. Did you see that there is a railway museum at French Lick - maybe your DH will want to join us.

Well, I have to straighten up around here a little (messy for only 2 people living here) and then get ready for work.

Have a great day!

Hi everybody!

Raeanne - I got your email and your painting is in the album. I think you did a great job! I couldn't draw my way out of a paper bag, so I greatly admire anyone with artistic ability. WTG!

DS is leaving tomorrow afternoon, so my house will be quiet once again. It has been nice having him home, especially since I hadn't seen him for 2 months.

We took our preschoolers to a Pizzeria this week and we had a great time. A lot of Dads came on the trip to chaperone, and they livened things up. It is always nice to have parents who want to be involved.

DeeMarie - You lucky girl you! I wish we could all meet on a cruise someday. Now that would be a trip to remember! Ciao!

NHSuzanne - What was your menu for your FIL's dinner. How did it turn out?

Patti - How was your block party? When our kids were little, we used to have block parties all the time. I miss those days.

BJ - WTG ignoring the Girl Scout cookies. You are a better women than me!! I just had to have a box of Samoas. :~(

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I'll be back on Monday.

Good Morning All,

Raeanne!! Nice painting. Very surreal. I like it alot. I can't paint my way out of paper bag either but the worse thing is that I wouldn't even try!!

Patti, how was the block party?

DeeMarie, it's good to hear from you sail along in the warmth!!

Marci, thanks for posting Raeanne painting. That site is great.

The Menu was Shrimp cocktail on a bed of baby greens dressed with lemon and olive oil. It was good
Roast beef, mashed potatoes, green beans, broccoli & cauliflower, glazed carrots and wonderful gravy.
Dessert was creme caramel with orange almond shortbread. It was very good. I made desert earlier in the week so that was a big help. The rest was pretty easy it was just timing, getting every thing out hot and the beef not overcooked which is was not. That was my big fear! It was delicious.

Last night was a great success. DH was a very big help and the company was really nice, not stuffy. Two of the guest were jounalist, just back from Iraq. What tales they have. It's amazing. One of them is a woman who is a producer for the FOX network and she produces Oliver North's show War Stories each week. She is great, I have met her several times before. She travels the world while her DH stays at home and tendst to things there. Great couple. The other journalist is her friend and he had wild tales to tell too. Things I could never imagine. There was another couple there who live in DC. He manages a huge multi-million dollar pension fund for the government. He was the president of our local bank years ago! I'd say he's come a long way.

I have to head back over there to make breakfast for DH and DFI and whoever else gets up! The two journalist couples stayed over last night.

I am so tired I don't know if I am going to ride or have a nice long nap. Right now the nap is winning!

Oh and just before I started to make dinner my temporary crown came off! I stuck it back in with some vaseline but it came out again. It's in right now but I can't eat!! It's uncomfortable though. Last night it didn't bother me much with all the wine!!

NH Suzanne - I had to use denture adhesive to keep my temp crown in once and the last time I lost my crown, the receptionist told me you can use toothpaste - I'm not sure of that if the nerve is a bit exposed. Sounds like your dinner was a real success. It must have been a very interesting and entertaining night. Thank you for your kind comments on my painting. I know I have a long ways to go, but I am enjoying the journey.

Marci - good to hear from you and thank you for posting my picture (I think LOL). I was feeling brave. Glad DS's visit was nice, it is very quiet after they leave isn't it!
and thank you for your nice comments on my painting too. I know an experienced and talented artist could've knocked that piece out in 1 evening, but it took me 4 classes - with lot's of guidance.

We went to dinner last night with friends, they said they would pick us up at 6 and take us on a little ride and then for dinner. They took us to Vermont (only an hour away), but it was the nicest restaurant in a cute little town and the food was excellent.

BJ - I have 2 loads of laundry going right now, are you still out pushing those cookies LOL??? Glad the suit was settled, must feel like a huge weight off your shoulders.

I am determined to clean out some boxes of junk in my basement this morning, so I better keep busy. I condensed one large box into a shoebox and that is of stuff I am giving away - not keeping any of it!!!

The block party was a huge success. We all had a great time & I won 2 prizes & Dave won 1. I never win so I was really excited.

Raeanne~I cannot wait to see your picture that you painted.

Marci~So glad that you checked in.

DeeMarie~Glad that you checked in too. Isn't the weather here wonderful?

NH Suzanne~Your evening sounds like so much fun. If I knew someone like that I would tell them what happened to Dave & see if they knew how to help him. :)

Well, I'll check back tomorrow. Patti :)
