In keeping with the accent, Scotch eggs be a rare treat here in Ameri-kay, but. Aye, an' the wee divils be made sich:

The first, ye take oop hen's aiggs an' bile until richt haaard they be. Shell 'em then ye must.

For the next, wrap yon aiggs in a bit o' sausages, then coat  the lot wi bread crumbs, d'ye ken?

The next, weel, aye, fry them or bake them until crisp, belike and whan a' 'tis done, serve 'em oop an' eat 'em.

Hi, it’s Tuesday night, 7th day since surgery.  I still hurt, especially if I stretch the skin. Try moving around without stretching that area.  
 

Petra Jane, I can’t tell you how many times I checked in over the weekend.  I guess we are all looking to hear from our friends.  Thanks for getting It fixed.  
 

ye wee eggs are not very desirable to me.  Nothing to do with your pictures I just don’t eat eggs or haggis.

 

Are you watching Jeopardy? Amy the champ is one of us.

I have a sore throat tonight after LaryngoChondroPlasty. There's a mouthful! I also now have a "smile in my throat", literally.

I'm the master of ceremonies for a conference I'm putting on Friday Night and Saturday morning, with 32 speakers. This should be interesting. I think I may wear a polo neck.

 

There was a cancellation today, and they offered to move my scheduled appointment from the middle of December to 6am this morning. Needless to say, it's been a long day! Maybe the muscles won't have to work as hard moving the larynx up now that it's not quite as big?!

I've found that covering the patches with a thin clear bandage material such as Tagamet or Opsite Flexifix (which I get on Amazon in 4" wide rolls) works well to keep patches from being chafed off by clothing.  I do round the corners so it doesn't have a place to roll over on itself.  

I'm using a 1 inch circular Dotti brand patch. I've never had a problem. Almost everyone I've talked to has complained about patches falling off. I do have to be careful not to put them on a wrinkly patch of skin though. Otherwise I have to peel them off, although the adhesive cleans right off. Anyone else using Dotti with adverse issues?

Good to hear you made it through successfully! Yes, Amy is amazing! I've watched a couple of episodes. As of tonight, she's a 10-time winner.

Woo-hoo, the Christmas lights are back!  My inner vandal enjoys breaking them. :devil:

Ah, don’t break the lights.  Enjoy them.

 

Today is laundry day.  Tomorrow Covid tests.  Friday we take the dog to the kennel.  She’s going to cry about being left.  Saturday it’s off to Florida and Sunday we cruise.  Looking forward to that.

 

we haven’t been on a cruise since we took Daphne on her last cruise in 2015. She got the Royal treatment but each day she got weaker.

 

guess we will see how this goes.

I've never had an issue with them staying on, just that they sometimes peel and roll upon themselves as I do enjoy wearing snug clothes.  I suppose if I was in to looser fitting slacks or skirts it wouldn't be an issue.

I also like the therapeutic relief my inner vandal gets from breaking every one of them.

 

Go Christmas Lights!

Went to a doctor's exam today. Went fine except for this misunderstanding I had to comment on:

"I really appreciate your sensitivity to my new name, but it does NOT mean a Mammography is overdue for me."

😁

Really? Because I'm overdue (and not looking forward to) mine.

 

Hugs!

I never heard of a male getting tested for that, but maybe we do too. If I was taking HRT hormones, I would think it would make sense. I'll take it seriously now and ask my doctor about it. Can't hurt to learn about it. (I did enjoy the laugh, however.)

My GYN had me get one. No big deal. And I  might be an A cup if I am lucky. Hey, girls get them and I am a girl. Remember that men can get breast cancer too. A friend of mine hates it when  people call it a female only disease.

I will have been on HRT for five years in January.  Time for me to meet the boob-squishing machine.

Scotch eggs be the bomb. I roll them in oats and bake. If you are being traditional you would fry them. 

 

Well, I am all moved into my apartment. I had a girl friend come over the first night and made her dinner. She kept me distracted and did a little unpacking with me. It was rather nice to have someone here my first night by myself.  It is really an adjustment. 55 years on this earth and while I've spent nights on my own, I've never lived on my own.  I always knew I was an extravert but this really hammers it home. I am just so used to having some human around pretty much all the time. The quiet is deafening.

Made a call to scheduled a consult for top surgery on Tuesday. I know it's only Thursday morning but the wait for a call back is driving me crazy. Also still waiting for the letter from my therapist. She said she would get it to me by next Friday.  Part of me wants to say I'm being impatient and I probably am. I can't help the feeling of urgency to start moving forward again.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved! 
    • Ashley0616
      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

    • Ashley0616
      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.
