"WELCOME TO JSM'S BEGGING FOR BANNING THREAD #3

[joesamas mama]

JSM, read down about being ill.

http://www.catholicmissionleaflets.org/sunday.htm

  Thanks Fanny. I pray I am not ill tomorrow, but if so I will stay home. I swear I will, but if I feel good enough to pick up Josef, I should be good enough to go to Mass. If I feel like I do right now, I will do neither one. 

JSM< what if you are contagious? And then you sit next to me and make me sick? Hmmmm....Sometimes 'tis better to err on the side of caution. (not that I'm contagious, I just feel like carp and look like it too! That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it. DH will light a candle for BOTH of us, so stay home!)

They say I am not contagious, but I wouldn't dare sit next to you until I am totally well. I know you feel like carp, but just take it one day at a time and REST, REST, REST. That is what you need right now. Tell DH thanks for lighting the candle. If I go tomorrow, I will light a candle for you and KatGram.   

Because you know we'd both get each other into trouble, and Sister Mary Perpetuala would whack us with her tri-cornered metal ruler, right??? You and I are not fooling anyone, missy!

We would get into trouble Tevye. Especially when I giggle about how the priest says God, he says gaaaawed. It drives me mad and I have to hold in my laughter. Plus his homilies are all over the place.

 I miss my old priest. He was great, he was youngish, but stern. His homilies were short and sweet, but hit the spot. He got in a bit of trouble by being scammed by some people. FBI is investigating. I am glad to say he is back in the diocese and if he gets a parish no matter where it is, I will drive far to go to his Mass. He made me laugh because he basically told the kids that they aren't allowed to come to mass in daisy duke shorts and looking like the just dragged themselves from the bar.

Well, Monks, the meds is kickin in, so it's time to put the laptop away before I break it. You all have a good nite, and prayers for you all.

JSM, do not sit next to me at church! I'll show you how to make angels out of the missals, and make you laugh. Hope you feel better!

Nite all!

I am so so in the Vitamin D mode - due to some research.
HMMMPH - the RDA Allowance of VIT D for Women over 18 -pre Senior. Is 200 IU.
Which I found that the study was in the early 1970's and has never ever been re-introduced into Medicine - as for " What is required in Todays living"  - or otherwise.

Vit D is essential and it is crucial for all human beings. The only natural way you are able to absorb Vit D is through Sun. Well we have been told for the last 20 yrs or so to wear the Highest Value of Sun Blockers and or Sunscreens - and all are inhibitors of Vit D. So say you work in an office 40 hours a week. You sit in your car 10 hours a week to go to that Job. 50 hours a week you are not exposed to the sun.
Do you know that if you use Tanning Booths or Tanning beds on a weekly, monthly basis - that the skin actually becomes encased that it will not absorb Vit D from the Sun in its natural state.
So what if you live in a state such as Washington and it is cloudy and or raining 5 months out of the year - ??
Or you have a career that you work Midnights and sleep during the day ? So what is your body receiving from the Sun - Not much Vit D.
Do you know that if you do not have the proper values of Vit D within your body - your body will not except Calcium. That if your taking products with Calcium and or Calcium supplements -that your just Peeing them out - literally. No nutritional value what so ever is being absorbed.

Sunshine and Your Health

If well adults and adolescents regularly avoid sunlight exposure, research indicates a necessity to supplement with at least 5,000 units (IU) of vitamin D daily. To obtain this amount from milk one would need to consume 50 glasses. With a multivitamin more than 10 tablets would be necessary. Neither is advisable.

The skin produces approximately 10,000 IU vitamin D in response 20–30 minutes summer sun exposure—50 times more than the US government's recommendation of 200 IU per day!
H1N1 Swine Flu and Vitamin D
http://**/food/ci_13251730
snipped:
Here is the theory: Flu epidemics follow a "seasonal pattern" (more cases are reported in winter months, fewer in summer months). Seasons have to do with sunshine exposure (less in the winter, more in the summer). Vitamin D is the "sunshine vitamin" — produced when skin is exposed to sunlight. Skin is our body's primary immune organ — it contains built-in systems that help defend us from foreign invaders such as flu viruses. Vitamin D — produced in the skin — has recently been found to have "robust effects" on the immune system.
--------
My reason for posting this is the Govt says the RDA Allowance is 200IU - which is total baloney - We are in Need of this Vitamin at much higher daily allowances - In order to be healthy, heal and protect our bodies.  Its not a fade, its not a herb, it is essential to sustain a healthy body .........So Why I ask is the Govt not up on this ???
HMMPH - Read up on Vit D Monkeys - the information is imperative with all this Flu scare tactics running ..  speaking of Flu scare please watch. The Man who created this Video has
Guillain-Barré syndrome due to he believed he was to do what he was told. Flu Shot. His Mission is not to scare anyone, he never mentions that he has GB ever. His mission is just to enlighten others.

Ms Fanny ......... Where U been ?

 

Hi Deenie! Sorry I didn't answer right away. I was over on the Caylee Thread. Me and my shiny hiney are back! It's good to be a monkey. 

[Fanny Mae]

Good night, JSM & Tevye. Luv you both and take care of yourselves. 

[Fanny Mae]

I am going to bed too. I know TRIMM and I will be happy tonight. ROLL TIDE!!!!

I am not picking up where I left off in the chore department. I have had cooked food delivered and we have gone out to eat also. It is going to be a long time before my energy levels return and I sure am not going to spend all my time on what has to be done to just survive. I've been pacing myself too.
When I go back to work, I plan on not being the little engine that could any more. And a few of them are going to be told to buzz off, I have no time to listen to you and your " issues " with the work or do it for you.  It will be said more politely than that.
..
I think what I am saying is that I plan on doing more for me, things that nuture me, rather than running myself ragged.
   

What stage are you at, Kat? chemo? radiation? did you have lousy lazy Sentinal nodes like I did? (those basturds, I wanted the Dr. to let me STOMP on them! heh, think I might have an anger issue with certain parts of my bod!)

i don't know what stage. Yet. I had a bone scan ( protocol ) on Thursday. I have to have a abdomen ultra sound scan on the 15th -  another protocol for the liver. I had 2 and 1/2 sentinel nodes removed. I was five weeks from biopsy to surgery, he said, we have no time. He told my daughter that the " thing " was massive. The immunologist didn't think it was attached to the chest wall, so that was a good thing.
The " thing " got bigger after he did the needle biopsy. When they did the mammy-gram, they also did the armpit and nothing showed up.
The few ladies I spoke to all had different things done. For sure, I am having radiation. They don't start that until everything is in and they know what they are dealing with. I should be getting a call the third week in September to come in and have that discussion. Ugh.
Some of the blood work, pre op came in good. Some things came in so so.
I am just hoping that they can get it and get it all no matter what order they do this stuff in. I put my reading material away because I read it once  and I don't want to dwell in the what ifs, but they have to determine if the " thing " was the primary or whatever term they use.
Another reason to take clonazepam for me. It's the lowest dose, but enuf to take the edge off. My DD doesn't like me taking it, but it works for me and I'm the one who has to live in this body and I don't want to be awake half the night with my imagination on full blast.
One of the ladies I know had both chemo and radiation and she is still around and doing well. She came to work during most of it ? She said it worked better for her that way, less time to think about the outcomes of everything.
 
 

[Kat_Gram]

Take care Tevye. I am going over to the Caylee thread and then a cuppa and then bed. I am going to the lake tomorrow for a family fun do and I am going to stay overnight. My 11 year old GD is there and we aren't telling her nothing. She thinks I just took some time off work for no particukar reason.

My Mother has been through almost exact what your posting. She is Cancer free after two BC surgeries - the first one and then one right after* less than 2 yrs ago - they found that removing her one breast was not enough and they went back and removed more tissue from her surrounding lymph nodes arm pit - which they thought the first time they got it all.  She is 65 and is in very good health today - even after all the bone scans and everything you have posted.
  I don't Know Kat, I feel though that your boosting your internal immune system is your best defense period - for your body itself. It is being broken down (your immune system) for you to tolerate all the cancer meds/protocols .. Your best defense against all of it is your immune system.  Even typical antibiotics break down the good bacteria in one's body - so it can fight bad bacteria. Supplements of Probiotics are natural defense- increasing the bacterial flora back into your organs - your digestive tract. At best I think you would find relief and immunity.  I just read in an article that if your Ill and or have a suppressed immune system " NOT" to use antibacterial liquid hand soaps within your home. That your skin breaks down * hands and actually is open to Bacteria and the soap itself remains wet like a magnet to bacteria- even though you cannot feel it. To only use Bar Soap in your home and totally forgo the antibacterial soaps period. That you need Good bacteria in order to rebuild your immune system.  Which those soaps kill both - good and bad. If you do not have enough of the Good bacteria its really fruitless to attempt to fight the bad basically.
What I know is when the body is fighting - the Red Blood Cells decrease and the White Blood Cells triple and that is called WAR --- the Body cannot fight even though one would think it would.  Loss of Red Blood Cells (Life) is our Body screaming I am under Attack - so our Immune System White Blood Cells come out in Full Force - which is not Good. Basically it is our own body attacking itself. So it requires Balance and the only way you can do that is via Nutrients/supplements and letting go of Stress - and Uggy thoughts.
You can ask your Doc first and I bet he/she will agree - Me not claiming nothing, just my own experience with chronic ailments. I want you to heal and become stronger period.
Your Kat_Gram and you deserve Life not Illness/disease.

Hi TEVYE, JSM, and all. Glad to see you two are a little perkier. Yum, chocolate covered cherries! We used to haul them out of Henderson, Nv, just south of Las Vegas. We would have to go all the way south into Arizona and through the lower altitudes and across Texas to go to the east coast, because the straight route east would take us over the mountains and the chocolate cherries would collapse. True story, just a tidbit. But the candy factory smelled devine, and they gave us samples to eat on the way.

We're going to get to see Bama play football tonight, because it is on national tv on ABC. We will enjoy it while it lasts. 

We are all tired from the work outside, but son fixed steaks on the grill with spicey baked beans and baked potatoes.. So now I can barely keep my eyes open.

I want baked beans........and chocolate covered cherries.
