Docs seems to think the original ulcers came from NSAIDS I was taking for many years for my back pain. The first perforation was in 2007, so, off the nsaids, aspirin, (I’m allergic to ibuprofen), and onto all the acid inhibitors (Prilosec 2xday), antacids (Tums) and neutralizers (Carafate 4xday). Ulcer healed but came back even worse with another perforation last August, just two years later. The concensus of all the docs is that I don’t have a very good blood supply in that area due to the first perforation, the sepsis, and the resection, then made worse with the second round.
So they agree the resolution is to remove the small intestine and relocate it to a more viable part of the stomach. The final diagnosis was made by a CT scan done last Monday and an endoscopy on Tuesday. I just may as well move into that hospital. I’m going to The Cleveland Clinic so I know I’ll get excellent care.
The ironic thing is, I’m probably the calmest, most stress-free person you’ll meet, yet what do I do? Get ulcers. Actually, I don’t know if this has anything to do with it but my father suffered with ulcers his whole adult life.
And thank you to all you nice girls for your prayers and good wishes. It worked last time, I’m sure it’ll work again.
I never did have any special interest in her character nor the actress. She just kind of leaves me cold. I couldn’t even get interested in the storyline about her and Abe’s affair.
I have been that way my entire life. I shed one small tear at my brother’s funeral and none at my Dad’s (and since I was a Daddy’s girl, it wasn’t because of lack of love). And none at sister’s or other brother’s funerals. I just don’t seem to bring up any tears. I did, however, cry a lot when mom died and have no idea why the difference. But let me see a movie, or even a commercial, and the waterworks begin, especially if it concerns a dog. And I’ve cried enough tears watching Days that I could water the entire front yard. So it comes down to…real life – zip; pretend – no problemo.
Okay, Dr. Freud, this couch?
that’s all I see when he’s on camera. I never watched Empty Nest so I’m not colored by that character. But…I have seen him (quite some time ago) in guest spots as a serious actor but couldn’t take him seriously then either. I guess he just has one of those faces that make you smile. He WAS very funny as Joe Isuzu and I loved that character.
a commercial and product placement. PP just involves the product being in the scene with the name visible, maybe I should say ‘prominently’ visable. Whereas a commercial has actual dialog about the product. What Days has been doing is not product placement, it’s an out-and-out commercial.
nobody is going to prison and that she was the warden when Nicole was in the clink? (How many prisons can there be in Salem?)
Maybe something comes to light that happened while she was incarcerated (true or false) that sends her back. That would let EJ off the hook for even longer. <sigh> Let’s hope not.
Arianna.
That’s a little hard for me to accept. I don’t believe I have EVER seen anyone wearing high heels on the beach. How in the world would you walk in the sand?
Boy, that woman sure has a killer body. Too bad her face isn’t more attractive…she’d be a real knock-out.
Now that you say so, I remember it was Steph. Thanks for the correction.
Someone mentioned extentions in Chloe’s hair. I paid particular attention yesterday and am now convinced that Arianna has them. Her hair seemed to be considerably longer than I remember it being. When she had the camera on Nicole, I could see it went down to her waist in back.
Wanna come over for coffee?
You said you live in No. CA. Do you want to reveal what town? I think I’ve said before I lived in Los Gatos (Silicon Valley) before moving to FL. Just wondered if you were near me.
that Chloe will not wear her hair swept back or in and updo because she has big ears. Anybody else hear that?
Are they going to stretch this thing out as long as they have with Chloe ‘telling Daniel’ about her affair? Geeze, I just want to say to Nicole, "Spit it out, girl! Quit beating around the bush." Especially when Sami started ranting on her.
everybody on the show was always dressed to the nines, no matter what they were doing. I remember discussing it on the first ‘Days’ newsgroup. Then, all of a sudden we started seeing more casual clothing. I remember the first time I saw Marlena in jeans. THAT was quite a shock.
The only time I remember seeing Chloe like that was when she and Brady were at that cabin, I think it was on their honeymoon.
