Christmas Countdown - 2011

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Woke up today with gout in my foot. Mom's been through this many times but it is a first for me. I'm ticked -- and worried. Had no idea it could be so painful.

My 24 year old son is having repeated gout attacks...horribly painful indeed.
Cherry juice, natural kind that is, strawberries and pineapple are helpful as far as diet goes. Stay away from protein rich meat, asparagus and alcohol can be a trigger- did I say my son was 24? LOL, suspect beer may have played a teeny role in his latest attack! LOL!
The doctor told him a certain percentage of the population is predisposed to high uric acid levels- shouldn't be above 6, my son's was 9.5.
He is now taking alipurinol to control the uric acid daily....forever.
Hope you get relief soon, Jeff!

My dad has gout. His foot will swell up so bad that he cannot wear shoes then claims he is ok and nothing is wrong! Lol. We have to force him to go to the doctor because we know he is in pain. He hasn't had an attack in awhile so I guess whatever he is taking is helping.

Jeff, I hope you get some relief.

Momnan, I hope your son gets some relief as well. He so young! Poor guy. =(

Bradmac, same for your father-in-law!

Hello friends... Dylan (2 year old Son) and I are getting over a stomach bug (throwing up all day yesterday)... trying to catch up on some posts. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmassy day!

Hope you are feeling better.

Looks like we have one more day before that hot weather gets here! Bah! Not looking forward to sweating my butt off again! :\

Kids have a stomach bug so we won't be doing much of anything... waiting for Noel to wake up from his nap so we can take a short jog, though. Gotta enjoy the nice weather before we get slammed with heat and humidity again!

Brad - happy b-day to Nancy!!

Its hot here too! Hope your Boys are feeling better. We have all had it too.. Evan last week and Dylan and I yesterday into today...

Skin cancer report: I had mentioned a little while back and haven't reported since. I have been back and forth from the doctor to have a biopsy done. I got the report this morning that I did have skin cancer and they were able to remove it all! YAY! Wear your sunscreen kiddos! cheesy

Now onto a different subject. =) Have you ever heard of a kid who loves taking naps? My granddaughter, who will be 2 in August, amazes me! I have a playpen set up for her to take naps in. She will run to the playpen and try to climb in and says, "I want to go night night". I put her in it and she will go out for a nap on her own!

I am not sure if I caught up on everyone's post. I haven't been on since yesterday morning and there are a lot to read.

Have a great day all!

So glad to hear your clear of the skin cancer! Your lucky your Granddaughter likes to take naps.. not many kids do =0)

Are you smiling now???

I am feeling somewhat better, seeing the Bruins paste the Canucks helped a little bit. I have not gone to the center of town since Friday, I just have a hard time seeing the town like that. The town officials are moving the town offices to the former elementary school that I went to 30 years ago, the building they were in is badly damaged, which is sad, it is a former elementary school that I went to also. At Christmas time when we watch "A Christmas Story" all my wife and I can think of when they show Ralphie's school is the old Main St School here in town they look very similar probably built around the same time I think this building was built in 1934. The way it looks they probably won't be able to save it, but I am not a building inspector.

Good afternoon, everyone!

Been real busy! Not much time on here either. Currently, I have laundry and supper going. I have practice tonight at 6:30 and then I need to be on the road afterward. My graduation is tomorrow in North Bay, so I must head back and see everyone one final time. It will be nice to get that sheet of paper, too!

This past weekend, I was in Cazenovia, New York. It's a small town about 20 miles outside of Syracuse. Fun tournament! As I said, so much on the go. Can't wait to return and spend more time!! Hope all is well with everyone!!

Good Evening Everyone!!!!!!!! It is a warm day here at 92 degrees and 90 percent humidty. My new A/C is getting quite a workout. I had to run a few errands this morning and then I have been cleaning this afternoon. Now I am ready for a quick nap. My neighbor is supposed to be coming home tomorrow from his son's house. He has been gone over a month now so I am sure he will want to sit out on the porch tomorrow night and get caught up on all of the gossip. It's supposed to be hotter tomorrow though so he may just have to come inside. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!

No matter how many times I asked, you Midwesterners did not keep the heat to yourselves!

I'm sorry!!!!!:-? Those new fans I bought must have been more powerful than I realized.

I hope it clears up quick for you!!!!! I get it in my right big toe and my knee if I eat red meat more than 2 days in a row. The first time I had an attack I couldn't sleep for days because I couldn't stand the cover touching my foot. I agree with the 100 percent cherry juice suggestion. It always seems to help clear mine up.

Hubby and I are off to Mt. Shasta this afternoon and will spend the night.

I hope you have a good time!!!!!! I'm glad to hear that you are starting to feel better!!!!
