AI Thread Summary
Tsu suffered a hip fracture after slipping on gravel in a hospital parking lot, requiring immediate surgery. She is expected to undergo surgery tonight and return home the following day. The injury will keep her incapacitated for about six weeks, disrupting her plans for the Country Fair. Tsu's recovery will involve using a walker and managing pain with medication, including blood thinner injections. Despite the seriousness of her injury, she maintains a light-hearted attitude about her situation, joking about her new mobility aid and the need for care from her husband, Ivan. The community expresses their concern and support, wishing her a speedy recovery while sharing humorous banter about her predicament and the challenges of her recovery process.

Astronuc, there's LOTS that we Sisters do, but nothing that you can know about. :biggrin:
I kind of expected that.

If we told you, we'd have to, of course, kill you. :smile:
Would you guys settle for a stern talking too, with "cross my heart, hope to avoid severe injury or death"?

That's a really dangerous suggestion to make...
Well, He is not flammable and it's easier than Dark Energy. Of course, I thought about spraying DE on the surface, but it doesn't stick to anything.

It was a significant improvement on the 'Hindenburg' suits.

We're talking about Coumadin vs. Heparin therapy here. Heparin is not used much on an out-patient basis anymore. Coumadin seems more effective in lowering blood clot risk. It is MUCH more expensive than Heparin. The shots are a supplement to the oral Coumadin that I'm taking because I had a low INR (my blood is thick). They're a quick boost to the thinning process.

Ah, when you said it was something to supplement the coumadin, I assumed you meant something other than coumadin. Turbo then mentioned heparin as well, so that's what I thought was going on. Heparin is pretty cheap, I don't know what coumadin costs.
 
  • #54
I suppose that it could have been Coumadin, Moonie. I assumed that I was getting an injectable version of whatever they were dripping into my IV, which I think was Heparin.

Helium filled bubbles to lighten the load.
You know this gives me an idea.

Boost the girls' cup size a few - and use helium instead of saline.

Looks great on the bathroom scale and under the tight sweater and after the car accident.

Three bonuses for one low, low cost!

Plus floatation for drown-proofing.

I was more worried about the fact you suggested the sisters have a load that needs reducing!

I'm so sorry to hear of your broken hip. Did Ivan decorate your walker? Or do you need the sisterhood to come do it? I got some really cool flame decals, gives you the look of really moving fast!
Good to hear the healing is going well for you {HUGS}
 
  • #60
The healthcare system and hospitals are just as bad as Big Oil in how much price gouging goes on.

I like Dave's idea, don't know why or where it came it, but I like it. The only downside is that gases compress and liquids don't (much) so yeah, it wouldn't take much pressure to be applied before they'd have shrunken sizes temporarily.

Tsu,
Let us know when you have had enough of Ivan. If it dosn't conflic with your meds we could grap a bottle of vino and come visit for a bit.

Will do! :wink:

Well, THEY were only suggesting that it was the load of the suit that we needed to worry about, but YOU seem to be suggesting there's reason to think the sisters have a load that needs reducing. Tsu, whack him with your cane!

All I have is my walker. Well, I have a purse and umbrella, too... hmmmmm... - back off, Hurkyl. I can take you DOWN with these puppies... :biggrin:

Hey! THAT'S what I need at the OCF, OmCheeto! A walking stick! Yeah! One I can whack someone who insults old ladies with. :biggrin: Yeah!

I'm doing fairly well, thank you. Not too thrilled that I'll be setting off the metal detector at the airport, but that's the way the ball bounces...

I happen to have several Sisters and I believe you know them all. They are Evo, MIH, Moonbear, hypatia, christina (i'm on pain meds and can't find the squiggly thingy :biggrin:), lisab... let's see...um, Sisters! Am I missing anyone? It feels like I am... Can someone find that ancient Sisters of PF thread? That was fun. :biggrin:

And it's very nice to meet you, too, AmedEzz! :smile: Welcome to PF! Have you been fish-whacked, yet? :biggrin:

Actually, what you need is a bacalhau, a dried cod that is as hard as a plank. Get a big one so that you can use it as a walking stick AND also do a fish whack on here. That way, you don't have to switch implements.

:)

Actually, Tsu, I think this might be the best time for you to ask Ivan to buy you a Segway. :)

That's about enough to form a sisterhood...who's "the boss" ?

BTW, if you're coming to Egypt anytime soon, i'll be waiting for you in the airport because you seem such a nice person. :!)

  • #78
We are all exceptionally well trained and experienced 'bosses' :biggrin: (just ask us!) but since I am the oldest and wear the dainty size 7 shoe (as opposed to the rest of the sisters who mostly wear size 8 :smile:) that kind of makes me the 'mother superior' I guess.
:smile:
Thanks AmedEzz! You'll be the first one I call when I plan my trip to Egypt. Of course my hip will have to heal first... :wink:

Thanks, Zapper! That bacalhau sounds like just the ticket! :biggrin: The Segway would be a blast but difficult to ride and steer with only one leg (I can't bear any weight on my left leg). Well, that and, being the klutz that I am, it's almost guaranteed that I'll break my OTHER hip on that puppy. :rolleyes:

SHHH!

Chilies, non-fossil fuels, and other exotic forms of energy will win out. I am concentrating on the chilies, in which humble little plants gather energy from the sun and nutrients from the Earth and might someday be able to launch space vehicles. The taste-testing is meticulous, but fun. Other members of the secret society of "hot guys" have their own concentrations, but we will have to play the cards close to the chest until we are prepared for world domination.

Just remember to soak it for at least a day before cooking it! :)

I don't remember mentioning the "walking stick"...
How did you know about it?

THE "walking stick": a 4 foot long, 1/2" x 1" piece of furring I found along side of the road at the beginning of my midnight road trip. Used extensively to fight off invisible mountain lions and wolves, between 2 and 3 am, and to help bear the weight of 12-half pound bars of hippie soap, and 3 full pound of delectable OCF fudge. Subsequently decorated and varnished by the only person that tried to save me from the ordeal. I love that stick.:!)

ps. What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
Unless of course it leaves you paralyzed from the neck down, and, well, then, never mind.

Well, hmmmm... I don't believe you DID mention "the" walking stick, but - I know stuff. :biggrin: "It" sounds - interesting. and...useful! :biggrin: But, the kind I was thinking about is - a nice piece of wood about the size you described, maybe a little worm eaten for interest, sanded and stained and varnished by some sweet old stoner hippy dude or dudess. :biggrin: Oh, yeah. Make my soap a neroli scent and my fudge dark chocolate and without nuts. :smile: What a PAL! :smile:

DANG! I can't believe this happened right before OCF. POOP!

Make my soap a neroli scent

I have to admit, I had to look up "neroli":
Neroli oil is a plant oil similar in scent to bergamot produced from the blossom of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium var. amara or Bigaradia
I was at my senior elder OCF friends house yesterday, grazing her garden. She had some white flower that she called a "mock orange". She kept saying;"Don't they smell wonderful?" For the life of me, I could not smell anything. It smelled to me like fresh linen. But anyways, I ate a whole bunch of the blossoms, and they were quite tasty. We were not sure if they were toxic or not so I stopped eating them after a bit. So we decided that if I showed up alive in a few days we would put them in our salads in a few weeks.
and my fudge dark chocolate and without nuts. :smile: What a PAL! :smile:
Well, I can do that without even thinking about it.
DANG! I can't believe this happened right before OCF. POOP!

Perhaps you should call OCF admin. Last year I saw an electric Lazyboy running around the fair. I'm sure Ivan and I could build one for you in the next 23 days.
:cool:

Never tried to eat my mock orange, but it smells strongly. And it is white. And it is in full blossom. Well, it was in full blossom week ago, but local climate can delay it. Besides, I am in Europe and we are several hours ahead ;)

Do you think the "hot guys" group can try to defect one of the sisters or is it a hopeless case? maybe Tsu can , after all she's drugged.

That iBot is one serious-looking piece of transportation. You might have to borrow one for a while, Tsu, just to, you know, test drive it and whatnot.
