Two weeks until my first surgery

[David LaRue]

To Chloe and the gang,

I finally have my first surgery planned for two weeks from today. The
doctor says that it should give me some relief. If good enough they'll plan
a followup surgery to fix it permantently.

I know Chloe had some computer issues. Are there any other people here
with an update?

I hope you are all well,

David

I wonder why they do it temporarily to start with...Perhaps at times once the extra liquid is removed, it does not come back ?
great news that they found what the problem was and that they can do it soon! around sept 13 then? let me know so I can connect if able to, and if okay with you (date and time).
Usenet is really hard to even know xists anymore, for uyounger ones...so falling on this ng would be one huge coincidence or fluke. Plus the trend is writing insults in less than -what is it by now? used tp be 144 characters, but last I heard they had made it a bit more, still well under 175 anyway.
Plus support ngs used to respect privacy more..if they really did what they said at the time that is...
There is a FB page for loneliness, but last I read, was quite insipid to me...No follow up posts, like people dring to open upa bit left as good as ignored...

Not much to report here. Was able to get to grocery to get food for cats and some needed home stuff like paper towels and cleaning products. Just got some already cooked fried chicken for me...and the two sick cats: I noticed they will not eat dark meat , only white! And it acts on their digestive system like it did on mine when I had the bad 6 and a half month omicron? side effects. That plus only Iams food fir adult cats, for Bozo who had iot as long as I did way back, if all cats fed only that or white chicken pieces;-) until all are over the intestinal bug. Good news is Bozo did not throw up the last 3-4 days and is slowly getting over that awful liquid poop which drove me uts for the ckleaning trouble in state I am myself, and nuts with worrying as he was really going downhill, seemed to not even try and fight to stay aluive anymore:(. Today is hard on him and lil Fripouille who has long trm covid and stayed with a vadly aff=ected right lung, worse than me. On less good side, seems like Geisha, the only one who did not get it at all so far, is starting it...But not bad thus far. Filou and Xhatonne both had symptoms way back but seemed over it, if I know by now iy can seem dormant and come back again with a more serious bout. Keeping an eye on both. 2 budgies got quite sick and near death, Hughie and Tsitswah. Hughie is still quite fragile. Tsitswah improved but is not safe yet. Any slightest thing could make him get worse again....

Managed to scrub seven steps of staircase...was so hot and humid, made it quite hard on body. Now aching cause of it, knees and shoulders..But next 7 steps will be easier, not as filthy.-). I figured what it was: being allergic to smell of lysol, I used to spray it in the air over stairs, mostly first secen steps abd basement. Tuirns out it gets wood very sticky so all dust made it turn like sticky sticky mud:(. Was lots of scrubbing. still needs desinfected, but waiting to do second part before doing so to not drag yuk on desinfected steps. so glad I could do that!
Still struggling w Rev qc person driving me nuts. She keeps giving such contradictive info and numbers since she is correcting a huge error of theirs of many thou to pay instead of the opwed return. Had to call everywhere to get all papers resent with more infp so they can wake up and get real. Me waiting on her corrections, as bad as seems to still be, and for papers to arrive to hand all back to accountant for REAL corrections. They asked for all in printed form, but seems to me no one knows how to deal with putting retroactive income over three years, used to it being all done online. Worst is accountnt could have done it all online, but THEY demanded printed. They even sent me mail saying next time do it online, is faster (eeeew. Rv Can is ok, but rev qc is like gestappo Lady hangs up on me, and insults me if I ask questions, tilted by her completely inconsistent numbers and contradictive info a la É i now have calculated it over three years and result is you ow a bit kess (huh??), then telling me nu,bers that are in fact 200 more! They also wrote saying I now had no right to "solidarity", a monthly amount for those among poorest, where I was told would get was it 74 or 84 a month starting July. "therefore" they went on, O owed them was it 175 which they claimed they had paid me. We were not even July yet and I chcked agaoin w babk and as zero from them! And then in Aug, end of month, not begining as usually would be, the morons depôsited 116 for solidarity (noy 175 anyway!) hello? it just is endless. So am also punished 74 or 84 a month due to lafy unable to do her job since april 30th..and they keep adding interests on their own mitakes. You van never get through to them. When I last asked a question, lady again fast hung up but after insulting me. I asked her if she could repeat, thinking "!! must have misheard", and she went "I had enough! you are *unpleasant. Bye" and hung up on me again. How dare we ask what she means, I would owe them about 2000 less than previously 5,700, then say "so you now owe us about oh, 2000". (????? 5,700 minus 200 does not equate 2000 in my elementary scholl years lol). It is constantly like this. all this with her saying she noe puit it over 3 years, tnen later in same conversation and in EACH call, saying she now would tart putting it over three years..and call me back when done" also never calling back when suposed to, but eeks later. arrrgh.
This also makes it so the dr info/form for a credit for invalidity I need to send, that both accountant and her said to not send until she was done with her putting income over 3 years, can not be counted in, making me wait thn for about 10,000 due for past years! Delays my reimbursing S life, and leaves me w nothing for even food, forget payments to them opn what I do not even owe them!
Keeps stress to max and also delays important forms for old age security....Have to check box to say if I want last 2 years of arreara xent to me in one lump sum..ut with how they act with retroactive sums....makes me really wonder now...oo bad as those would owe me about 11,000, making reuimbursement, with the 10,000 of padt invalidity creditsfor 10 years, -making reimburement to s life almost complete.
As foe mom's will...all stalled as sis no 1 is going to court to fight agant liquidator, sis no 2.
Sis no 2'sways of lat 3-4 years by now is so well explained by fact she had will all that time. while shehad boright to until mom passed She is of a jalousy level "innocent me" never fully realized before..but which also explains so many things like why she made fits to poor mom in Home about "her not being her favourite daughter". Yt..mom left her her bedroom set....in recognition I take it for her help with drs apoinments, etc. ut sis no 2 is red in the face w anger at mom, if she denies it w rage. Ieven now think that of clear that bro did not infuence mom on her will. not so sure sis no 2 did not. While sisno 2 wants all men named on will to be removed, bro and ne^phew, plus diseaced bro's three children, saying w rage that mom always said she loved us all the same "theefore it should only go to her daughters (huh??? She should work for rev qc LOLROTF:))...-while she wants the will voided and all go only to 5 daughters, she hurried to go gt mom'sbedroom set before- in case- will wou;d be voided and she then would not have more rioght to it than anyone else!
I discovered thT SIS NO 2 IS LIKE DECEASED BRO USED TO BE: WOULD SELL HER MOM FOR A NICKEl. sorry for caps. Like ex bro, she puts aside ALL moral values and backs up to notning toget money, and has no ^prob with her conmscience at all about it...To mre, this is having money for a God...The golden calf. Not God that! I discivered as well she had shemed and asked sis no 1 to not tell me about what she was up to. Sis no 1 yet went alomg and also inoiially affirmed that all should go only tyo females (!!!????), and even went to get info with sis no 2 on how to remove vro from will. This revealed that sis no 1 also had copy of will while pretending contrary for years as well...

Sis no 1 also mumbled stories about havig reimbursed mom a loan mom made her, but turns out isnot "quite true".
I wonder if she wouldnot be defending bro...due to some deal she would have mae with him about taking both money from mom....mpw maybe helping bro else she is putting him through hell, and she might fear he then would tallk.
Yrt..is clear to me bro also had will and figured house wouldbe his...but mom ponce dead wpouldnot be there tp helppay bills..threfore maybe taking mom,s money.....perhaps even claiming caught by online fraud when none would have been but gis own...
As for sis 4 who hates mom, did not attend her funerals but also never talked to her, i learned recently *because mom refused to let her take care of her finnces after dad died, sis 4 is backing and i would be tempted to say coaching sis 2 on how to exclude as many as possible from will, to have more themselves. Remains sis no 3, who washes her hands from it all in the name of looking good, while her "clean hands" mostly wanna have the money without riskiong to take sides in court.

Have cut all contacts w sis 2. She acts totally psycho yet I am sure will play the whitest lamb in court and deny all allegations.

sis no 1 sid we would have to chose a date in xxeptember to all meet with moderator after case regarding excluding bro sis 2 and 4 are going for, will be done. This makes me think date is already set for bro's exclusion hearing:(, and sis no 1 and bro do not let me know of a date. I did offer to testify if they needed me to...ladt I had spoken to sis 2, I menyioned i told them same as her: if I do go testify, I will say truth..about ALL sides. And sis 2 SAID SOMETHING ABOUT "NO, I WAS NOT going to testify, meaning she knew, had docserved (that part, divs served she told me she was) where she coyld see I would not be a part of it. This in turn makes me wonder what sis 1 and bro don't want me to say orhear....
whatever. Tey might stretch it knowing I could die anytime given health, stress and all. I puy nothing beyond any of them.

An ex boyfriend, visiting farm and family with me way bùack, had gone "how coyuld you ever grow in here????". I always thought he meant because of size of my bedroom wgich I was showingg him when he said that...latelyI thought "nah twithead. he probably meant "with such a family".
I keep womdering how we can be so different morally when raised by same parents....

In hindsight, I now understand so many things I was left puzzled by all my life..so ,any, so much that my hesd implodes at times for all foundation boxes needing redone, set in proper place, etc.
I now have a very hard time w pepople being ude in the slightest way even, and at times, get impatient, sometimes snapping back, trying to learn at my ripe age how to get them off my back. even cashier at grocery or rather her .casier boss" was so rude...I then grt back home and am in turmoil for days and nights. I think I will mever understand what power trip ever gives anyone playing it...just because they can".

nauseous now..too hot, wrote too lomg again...hmpf. starting tomorrow, temps will go from 36 today to 18 tomorrow..ut raining, so humidity still, then 22, 24, 26, 28 and rising again prob ovet 30 w humidex by thursday. But I look forward to tomorrow o carch up on sleep:) and to Mon=wdd to try and do some badly needed errads nd houecleaning. errands done using revcan's return, no choice. must save pets and me! sis no 1 rill helps w siome food, but less and less...But I managed so far and don't mind loosing extra weight some more. Lost too little so far..not having a say about chice of food, mpft.
But hvave peanut butter, 4 breads if not turned bad yet, a few strawberries lwfty, cheese, cheese whiz, and the chicken. no oven, stove or microwave any,pre,makes choice of food a toughie both for sis no 1 to help me with and for me.:(yet am prpud o myself for managing not bad at all, if won'tladt long if rev qc goes on stalling...elections coming, campiaign is on. a party too simi;ar to trump if their leader changed some of his tactics.ut followers of his send candidates of other parties death threays, publish their home addies, film themselves insulting vice-premier of Canada (elections yet provincial so unrelted) and proudly post their verbal insults and threats online, etc. t is expected that party wopuld only get 1 member elected, but me thinks they underestimate their money power....Even journalists and their families threatebed where they are afraid and tend to cebsure their own self by fear:(.

People seem all out of thjeir minds. Who knows, might not judt be the lock-in during covid, but some effect the anti vax would not be gaining by refusing the vaccine? Going "wacko"? whatever. makes the world uglier.......
looking forward to -hopefully - a nice sepyr,ber and october, not too hot and not cold yet!

remember to tell me date abd hour and expected duration of your furst operation, anf if ok w you if I try and conndect iof able to.

Sisterly love to you, J and noopnoop woof to the otherJ!:)

[bingo jones]

good luck with your recovery.

for those of us who have been lonely for 50 or 60 years, even LONGER, the irony of a deserted loneliness newsgroup is almost more than one can bear.

Hello,

I'm sad that the group has fadded too. I still chat with one member over
email but even that seems seldom.

I'm still in physical therapy working on my balance. My mental progress is
slower and keeping me from going back to work.

I hate being unable to think and do the things I used too.

I'm glad to see you pop in here once in a while. I still subscribe in case
someone finds the group and wants to talk. Been a long time since then.

I hope you are well!

Thank you. Likewise.

Nothing is much new. I am still alone. And I expect to be.

Hi Bingo,

Loneliness is a state of mind, don't let it define you. We can do what
we want for the time that we are here. Use it wisely.

Surgery was nearly a year ago and mental status is slowly improving.
Balance and walking reasonable thanks to physical therapy. We continue
to help others as they drift into and out of our lives.

Be well. Be happy.

Good luck with your surgery.

I am well, but my older brother is in hospital and may
have to move to a long term care home when he
gets out.

Oops, I just noticed that you had your surgery nearly
a year ago. Good luck with the rehab.
