Rose,

First of all, this is not a joke. A good way to get

rid of ants is grits. Ants can not eliminate gas and

the grits blows them up. (Yes, I'm serious)///Connie

Diane, I didn't even catch that until you brought it

up! I had an ant invasion last weekend. One of my

grandkids put a banana peel in a trash can in my

pantry. The next day when I looked in there, I'm sure

I had googly eyes--ants, ants, ants everywhere! Big

black ants. All the way up on even the high shelves.

Luckily most of the food in there is canned or

bottled. I only had one box of cereal. I was too

tired to take everything out, especially since ants

were crawling on everything, so I just sprayed it

massively with ant & roach killer & shut that pantry

door. I didn't open it for 3 days. No stressed ants

in there, just dead ones. I need to empty everything

out, wash the cans & bottles, pitch the cereal, etc. &

wipe out the shelves, but that will probably have to

wait a couple more days.

Just to clear things up! I said I have some

ant-stress cream! I meant anti-stress cream! ha-ha.

Don't want those ants to be stressed now do we?

Testing & other things

Hi Guys,

My neurologist had contacted Dr. Stearns and he had

suggested that my neuro run certain tests to try and

determine if my sarc has decided to expand it's

territory to neuro. My insurance didn't have a

neuro-sarc on board so my complex case manager found

one. He was extremely nice and knowledgeable. When

we finished he went over the results of the tests and

talked to me about them. He let me know things would

get worse over time, but that I was working around the

problems well right now. He also gave me the name of

a resource to try and help combat the memory problems.

I didn't want anything else to be wrong, but I knew

something was wrong & I couldn't seem to get the

doctors to understand. I can deal with absolutely

anything that is explained to me, I meet it headon and

get on with my business. From what I understand right

now the cognitive testing shows problems with my

memory, my right hand, etc. Hopefully this will give

my neuro what he needs to do something about the

problems I have been having, as they are getting

worse.

I am typing this with one beaut of a headache (which

is something I never used to have) and hurting so bad

in other places I want to be sick. At the present the

only thing they are treating me with is pred and my

heart meds. I had the spinal tap about a week or two

ago but I don't know the results yet. I go back to my

neurologist the 16th for the outcome of everything.

My cardiologist had wanted me to come off one of my

heart meds, but that was a joke. I tried it for a few

days and even with the pacemaker my heart went nuts.

I went back on my cardizem. Between it and my Coreg I

function OK.

Well enough griping from my end. I appreciate you all

very much, please take care.....Connie
