[TMIC] the snow outside --- OT
The temperature is about 15°; the sun is seemingly as bright as in August. The snow on the lawn, about two feet deep, is undisturbed and lies in smooth undulations like Sahara dunes in miniature. Crystals of ice from twigs overhead are scattered sparsely and glint like stars. I am enchanted. Alton, who had to share this as best he could
RE: OT [TMIC] the snow outside --- OT
Brrr, thanks for sharing Alton. You know, I worry about kids today. I'm afraid they don't ever stop to describe in print what they see or feel. Have you read any of their text messages? It is all abbreviations and made up phases. Thanks to you, in just a few words from you I've transformed myself to your front lawn and feel the sting of winter on my skin. I can see the snow drifts elegantly flowing along the fence line and can hear the thundering silence of the frosty morning sun blasting across the sky. Thanks for sharing!

[TMIC] re snow
you are all a breathe of fresh air. Your words are not only enchanting but
encouraging. Here in Montreal we have received over three times the nomal
snowfall. a total of 350cm. so far and another 15 to 25 cm. storm coming
this week. I love the snow but when you have to go the store for the little
groceries I need with a walker it is no joy. At least you gave me the SPARK
to carry on .God Bless you. gerry PS Today and until future notice all
members of my church will keep Jude in our prayers and devotion. Gerry {new

Re: [TMIC] the snow outside --- OT
Wow Alton. That sounds so beautiful. I know that a lot of people don't like winter but personally I love the 4 seasons. Even when the cold makes TM more difficult I couldn't imagine living somewhere else. Calgary has had a pretty good winter despite the minus 50 (with the windchill) a few weeks ago. It didn't last long though. I know that everyone in Canada have had a lot of snow and freezing rain this year. Thank you so much for your beautiful description of your view out your window. I too would buy a book that you write.

[TMIC] I hate my job!
When you have a I Hate My Job day, try this: On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson Johnson. Be sure you get this brand. When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed. Change into very comfortable clothing and sit in your favorite chair. Open the package and remove the thermometer. Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so that it will not become chipped or broken. Now the fun part begins. Take out the literature from the box and read it carefully. You will notice that in small print there is a statement: Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johnson Johnson is personally tested and then sanitized. Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times, I am so glad I do not work in the thermometer quality control department at Johnson Johnson.
Re: [TMIC] JUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is horrible. Every hospital has an ombudsman, whose job is to speak on behalf of those who cannot or will not speak for themselves, and to intervene in problems between patients and staff. Just call the hospital and ask to speak to the ombudsman, and tell him or her what is going on here. It will be taken care of. Nobody should be left to cry in pain And if the staff doesn't like what you've done and think they might like to take it out on poor Jude, tell that to the ombudsman too. She needs people to intervene on her behalf now -- NOW is the time to do something, before it is too late. - Original Message - From: MontzMagic To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2008 10:30 AM Subject: [TMIC] JUDE I AM SO UPSET.

[TMIC] UPDATE ON JUDE....
Hi Everyone ~ I had a wonderful chat with Jude today. She wanted me to tell all of you how very much she is appreciating all of the cards, flowers, books, CD's, etc.and to tell all of you that you are keeping her spirits up...!! She is just amazed at the outpouring of love she's receiving from this TM family. I learned she has five new bed sores since going into this nursing home. She described them to me and I about fell off my chair.one of them is the size of a small orange. I told her she needed to go back into the hospitaland she agreed...and will be calling her PCP (personal care physician) tomorrow. They have done nothing for these bed sores so I got a package together for her with Melaleuca Oil, bandages, triple antibiotic cream, everything I could think of and got it off to her. She has Dave looking for it now because she is going to try it on the sore on her ankle. I told her to just do the one sore and see if there is improvement...if so, use it on the other sores. She will need more than just the Melaleuca Oil but it's a start in the right direction. This is the best tree tea oil on the marketit soaks in and heals from the inside out.another paraplegic friend of mine used it and now swears by it he uses it whenever his skin gets the least bit red because he knows a sore is beginning and he nips it in the bud with this oil. I even got some advice from Jude today regarding Fentanyl patches. My neuro just took me off my Oxycontin and has me trying the Fentanyl patch and I've been curled up in a ball of pain for the past three days. Jude told me he needs to up my dosage...what he gave me isn't strong enough...so I'm calling my neuro tomorrow regarding this. My pain has been off the charts this winterworse winter with TM in ten years of living with this dang syndrome..! Jude needs us now more than ever so please keep those prayers going up.
