~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Mulburry]

Mulberry, I'm so sorry about your health issues. I hope you can find some relief. Do you have a diagnosis? _/\_

Chronic sinusitis. But none of the conventional treatments (sinus rinse, coticosteroid sprays etc) seem to help. I'm waiting to see another ENT specialist (after the first one was a useless a-hole, excuse my french). I've been seeing an alergist/immunologist as well, and while I believe he's a good doctor, it hasn't been particularly helpful either, as he's ruled out certain root cause issues (allergies and/or immunodificiency) but not been able to discover any.. Anyways, it's frustrating (especially since the healthcare system seems to move at a glacial pace) but what can you do. I'm just trying to take one day at a time, keep living AF and relatively healthily, and enjoy the better days as much as I can, and not get too down or worry about the future too much. Anyways, I know a lot of other people are dealing with health issues too and hopefully get relief as well.

I knew that a lot of movies were filmed in B.C. Mulburry, but I had no idea that the original Rambo was filmed by Hope.

Yup. I just finid it kind of funny how much they cling to it as their claim to fame. Here's the 40th anniversary page https://tourismhcc.ca/first-blood-forty-blog/

Mulburry, I can't even imagine having chronic sinusitis, I'm floored when I have a sinus infection. Hope that you can find a doctor that can help you.

Looks like we are going to have to replace the roof on the garage and the house. That's going to hurt the bank account but it has to be done.

I'm in for another 24 hours of freedom...

Jude, a new roof is definitely going to be a hit to your bank account. But a good roof over-head is essential. We had to replace ours about 5 years ago.

Back to the hot weather for the time being. Yuck.

24 more hours of freedom for all of us please.

[Rava]

Good morning and hope everyone has a great and relaxing Sunday. Jude, sorry about the roofing issue. Those are the expensive things that must be done to protect our homes. We will probably need one on the tiny house in the next few years. No plans today but maybe reading. 24 more please and thank you!

5:32am in Alberta, 24 for me and everyone else who needs them please, and thanks...

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

Some breakfast for us all...

[abcowboy]

Thanks for the link Mulburry!

Is it just the shingles need replacing Jude, or do you think there will be more to replace once the old shingles come off? Either way it'll be expensive I guess.

Woke up to no power this morning, so couldn't make coffee or get on the internet or anything. When I got everything set up to use the hotspot on my phone, the power came back on lol. Then it was start our normal daily routine, first things first, coffee!

[Ginger999]

Darn! Lost my post.

@Mulburry, I hope you get a resolution soon!

I love pancakes, ABC. Thanks

I'll take another day of freedom!

[Jude58]

I couldn't log in yesterday morning, then I forgot to check in later in the day. We are putting metal roofing on the garage, and Mr. J is going to do the work himself which will save a few dollars.

I got some sad news the other day that my older sister has breast cancer. She was supposed to see an oncologist yesterday, but it was cancelled at the last minute. Now she will have to wait until she knows what the treatment plan will be. Uggh. I also found out that my older brother is have triple bypass surgery this Thursday to repair the blockage in his arteries. I was shocked to hear this as my brother is a vegetarian and a dedicated runner, and has competed in many marathons. I'm praying for both of them but I feel so helpless right now...

Anyway, enough about my woes, it's not enough to cause me to drink. I'm in for another 24...

[dill]

I couldn't log in yesterday either and was glad to be able to touch base at Cowboy's alternate site,Home | We Quit Drinking (boards.net).

Jude, I'm so sorry to hear about your brother and sister's health issues. I will be sending a prayer for each of them. You are so right hurting yourself with poison won't help. Stay strong.
Metal roofs are really nice. Have you decided on a color?

Not much going on here today. I'll enjoy the peace and calm. 24 more for all of us please.

[Rava]

Good morning cafe. I could not log in yesterday after several tries in the morning and afternoon. Jude, i am so sorry to hear about your sister and brother. Will send healing prayers for both of them and you as well. Being the strong one is hard too. No need to use poison to help. Wishing all a good Tuesday. 24 more please and thank you.

[abcowboy]

5:16am in Alberta, 24 more please, and thanks...

Doesn't look like any of us could log in here yesterday, but we're here today and that's what counts!

Sorry to hear the sad news regarding your brother and sister Jude, hopefully they'll both get through their problems with positive results on the other side.

[Ginger999]

Oh Jude, I'm so sorry about your sibs health issues. I'll be sending healing prayers too.

Last day at the beach. It's been a lovely reprieve from the heat. We have two trips left then planning starts for heading south. Not sure when I'll find time for knee surgery! Still don't have an appointment for it yet. Ugh It may have to wait until I get to AZ.

Waves to all my Cafe pals!

I'll take another day of freedom from poison!

[Jude58]

Thanks all for the prayers, it really does help...

No matter what life throws at you, drinking always makes things worse.

24 more please...
