, my dear, if I could get the glue out of my pants and move around

and do things I guess all would be better, but since that chair now has glue

in it too, I don't get up like I should. The glue won't allow me to go far

anyway.

I started having diarrhea months ago, which the doctor attributed to my

struggling with Don. Of course the potassium and salt has gotten low. I have

gradually been loosing weight, so now she is getting serious about finding

the cause. I had blood and urine test for Myeloma of the blood. I am happy

to report that is negative.

No Myeloma!

On the 25th of Aug, I will talk with the Doctor that did a colonscopy in

'06. He said I had two Polyps that needed to be looked at in five years. I

think they need to be looked at in four years. Like now. Also he may also do

another endoscopy. But, the last endoscopy was perfect.

Actually he couldn't do the full colonoscopy without poking a hole, so I

had to go to another doctor to give me dye. As you know that test turns you

over, upside down, and on you head. At least it really didn't hurt.

So we will know why I have diarrhea by the time my doctor is through with

me. I told her not to leave a stone unturned, but find the cause, and she

is. All test for Parasites and mean varmints have been negative.

It's just me that is mean. Can't blame it on the varmints.

So, if I could get the glue out, the chair would look so much better from a

distance. My pants won't look better, because that part of me hasn't gone

down much even with the weight loss.

Old age is not for sissies. I'm no sissy, I'm going crabbing with the big

boys, on Deadliest Catch! I really would like to go fishing, and not with a

pole, but with nets like the big boys do that I grew up with.

Love a bunch,

Imogene

Aw, thank you Imogene. I still keep up with the postings here, just don't

jump in like I used to. I think of you often and hope you are feeling

better physically, emotionally, in every way possible. You so deserve a

better quality of life than your devotion to Don allowed.

Thanks Doris, But I have been off dairy products for years. Once in a while

when things straighten up a while I'll taste some Blue Bell Ice Cream.

That will cause diarrhea in a big hurry. Lunch meat will cause it. Allergies

will cause it. It is like when I was trying to figure out what I was

allergic to, every tiny and large thing had to be looked at. No, your

simplistic

suggestion was NOT simplistic. Many people don't realize they need to do a

lot of research even before seeing a Doctor. I have had C-Diff once. That

was really awful.

My sister had diarrhea for a long time. The Doctor diagnosed irritable

Bowel Syndrome ( a catch-all term when Doctors don't know) Then, she was

diagnosed with Crohns disease. She had cancer.

This is the big reason this is being researched, and no leaf left unturned.

Thanks for your comeback,

Love a lot,

Imogene

Hi Imogene,

This may be a simplistic suggestion but could it be something that you are

eating that is causing the diarrhea? We discovered that my mom is lactose

intolerant causing whopping big diarrhea. Now that she is off dairy

products, it seems to have resolved itself.

Just a thought.

Thanks for your reassurance. I'll stick with glue for a while. I am eating

well. Hey! that Sockeye sounds good for a lot of people I am sure. Wish I

was catching them. How exciting that must be.

Love you a lot ,

Dear Imogene, I am relieved that you now can look after you and find the

cause of the ongoing diarrhea. Please keep us posted. As for the glue,

don't worry about it. It is likely helping you cope with the grieving and

weight loss. It will lessen as time passes as long as you can get yourself

properly nourished. All the best with the tests.

By the way, it looks like the sockeye run could be better here than last

year. Perhaps they will make a comeback after all.
