Are you guys interested in watching Maks and Allison on SYTYCD this season??? It starts in March….I don’t usually watch it but if Maks is on it I will….LOL
We could give it a try to see him and Allison.

I kind of figured it would give us a regularly planned chat night if nothing else….LOL

I have to go to do a couple things before it gets to late. I will pop back in to see if you are all still here.
I think we should try to do this at least once a month to keep up with each other and just chat. I miss it so much.
I will pop back in. If for some reason some of you have to go I hope you have a great rest of the week.
HUGS

It can be caused by Covid. Star actually hasn't had Covid, as far as we know. So we aren't sure what triggered it. She may have had the flu a couple weeks ago, and that may be why it is so bad right now.
Will be praying for her. HUGS......and holding your hand.

Yes ….holding your hand

BAck from my Chinese dinner break!!

One of our nieces has POTS!!! I never have quite understood it but she has had a terrible time with it. She is doing better overall now (she is 59) but after she got the diagnosis (following many, many inadequate and incorrect diagnoses) she went to MAYO in Phoenix and they made the diagnosis almost instantly!! She has had quite a struggle with staying well; doesn’t help she is a flight attendant, but she has not been able to work much for some years. Now she has it figured out hos she can just bid a turnaround trip to Portland 8 times a month, which helps with some of the stress triggers. She is home at 10:30PM.

I am so sorry that Star is struggling with that. It is pretty unpredictable. But there are some places where you can get help. If you would like, I can get info from my niece that may be helpful.

What is it….Ive heard the term but don’t know about it
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

Basically, she gets dizzy going from lying down to sitting ang sitting to standing. She has fainted a couple of times.

Oh my!!!!! Praying for her. Is she on meds? Will this be a life time thing she will have to deal with?

She is not on any meds for it at this point . She just went off a migraine med that can make it worse. She is also taking salt pills and increasing water intake and is wearing compression stockings. There is no "cure", but these are things that can help. Exercise also helps, but if you overdo it, it makes it worse.

I would…I just need to get better at getting recipes to you
Oh, yikes, I completely forgot. I don't have that many recipes, but I have my mom's chocolate chip cookie recipe and my Nana's apple pie recipe, at least.

Any thing is fine to add to it.

Those sound yummy, vmmm!!

I have been keeping track of our national artistic swimming team. They are at Worlds and trying to make the Olympics for the first time since 2008, I believe. I am also into the Super Bowl hype. I don't usually watch when the Patriots aren't in it, but I am invested.

We had quite a bit of snow about a week ago, but we are in a dry and sunny spell. It is still pretty cold. I think the high was in the 30s today. It is supposed to be a bit warmer later in the week.

How are D2 and Star doing???
D2 is doing well. She has a new job that she likes a lot better than the previous one. She is also mentoring a robotics team, and this is build season. Star is having a rough time health-wise. She was recently diagnosed with POTS, and she is having a bad flare-up. She is cutting back on classes in an effort to get healthier.

So sorry to hear that. What a horrible diagnosis. Difficult to explain or understand.
