Good morning All. Coffees on.

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.

So I started working out again today. Oh sweet mama I am sore as hell already! 

[Willow]

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.

[KathyLauren]

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

[Willow]

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!

Omg. A reality I totally forgot about. Now I’m scared.

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.)

I'll be trying both these recipes...and I don't mind a dram of the single malt! 😋🤗

 

[Vidanjali]

@AgnesBardsie a speedy recovery to you. I hope you will be very happy with the results. ❤️ 

[KymmieL]

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.

[Jamie68]

I don't know if I could handle the squishing machine. I think I'd opt for a cat scan test.

[Bri2020]

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. 

[Elizabeth Star]

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.
