Happy ending. Sort of. Just when it couldn't get any worse, the Acura dealer won't take my credit card over the phone (for the record, they should NOT be charging anything, anyway, but I digress -- why should all the new tires not have new valve stems and be low on air, now they are just screwing with him.) He has cash, no credit cards. He had to cancel them and had cash. Remember the big wallet fiasco of Tuesday. At last, he is on his way. A day late and $90 short. He was cool about it. Hopefully there will be a physical bank on his way to the school. Oy vey. Oh, and I think my really, really Dear Best Friend will probably drive us to the hospital at 6ish am. I did not even ask him about the morning, but he will still get his dinner of choice :smile1:

Thanks, sweet, dear nurse. I shudder to think what would have happened if the surgery had been STAT last night, because it could have gone that way and DS could not have gotten my help. I know he's a big boy, but he is still my baby.
Maybe something nice may happen today, who knows?
Thanks again. Oh, and best, best wishes on your job offer. Very impressive.
By the way, what is the medical community is your county's view on herbal healing? It seems to be gaining some respect here. This is DS's field.

BBL, it never rains but it pours. Sounds like DS is more or less on his way again, DH is set up for the surgery, and you can take a few deep breaths between now and next week. Continuing the vibes, in a biiiiiig way. . . . and the hugs.

The rules are extremly strict here as some of the herbal healing caused side effects like blood loss after their own medication, but there are some herbal healers that are good for people as they offer help in areas regular medicine can't. But I am not a huge fan especially when the research is of a low quality. And that dominates the medical community a lot. Personally I think a healthy way with the diet is a good thing as sometimes even taking too many herbal pills might cause side effects.I always try to recommend diet changes before I talk about pills to help the stomach to patients. About your DS. You are such a lovely mom and very special as you seem to put him to highly. And hopefully your DH will feel better as time goes by and he has the time to digest the news.

Purse, Avril, Lulilu BBL and Lala and OB! :hugs: :hugs: Thank you so much. It is good to have you there in the back of my head. Thank you so all of you for your lovely wishes and vast support! I am soooo happy and I lost 15lbs lately soooo I treated myself to some shoes today at 75%. Calf leather! :nuts:

Lala: Do you need to go get over there? or are healthy vibes enough? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :hugs:

nurse, the reason DS is getting his Masters in herbal healing is so he can learn about alternative methods. He has been mixing tinctures, teas, etc. for many years. Now, he has the education to back it up. Since it is such a non regulated field, he wants to make sure he does everything correctly. He mixed me a pain tincture, but has really advised me against using it, because it might interact with my meds. He cannot prescribe his own herbs now, but he has to go to a herbal doctor and a dispensary to fill the Rx.

Thanks for your kind words.

Got something pretty from Paris today.
Actually, when I saw Mistikat's special 70 from the new boutique in Paris, I knew I had to get one, by hook or by crook. I asked my store director if she could try to find me one in Paris. She did. When she went to Podium, she brought it back for me and here it is. She did tell me it was the last one.

Your DS sounds very cleaver especially because the interactions is so dangerous. That is why herbs and so are advised against here in my country.

I mean them, BBL!

And OH! It is soooo pretty! CONGRATS!

BBL, now that's something nice, finally! Gorgeous scarf! I cannot believe your DS had a flat, but hopefully since things seem to come in threes, (that's number three, right?), no more bad things for awhile, right?

Nurse, good point about working on the diet before resorting to lots of pills. How are you liking your surgery internship? Other than the long hours.

You are too kind for asking. I love it! I love the patient group too and even if it hard to deal with people when they are undergoing operations and being told they can't be operated on, I love it sooo much more than any other internship. I have always prefered surgey and so much more as it is more interesting work. Did I tell you I got my dream job at the same place as the internship? A nurse I worked with went straight to the boss and said they had to hire me. I was supposed to know next week but they said is very hush hush earlier. :p

How is home life and little OB? :smile1:

BBL - you've had a heck of a couple of days. Sending good thoughts to MrBBL for a speedy recovery and smooth surgery. You deserve every fiber of that scarf.

Nurse - I'm so happy for you!!! The job, the internship...hard work paid off for you, my dear. Congratulations. You deserve every good thing!!

OB - hope you're well.

It is a yummy 59 degrees here in NY and I'm scared that Justin Bieber or some other irritating teen idol is in Times Square. I hear shouting all the way up here on the 28th floor a block away. Yikes!

I have Spring Fever!!!
