Hey Dave!
-> 
-> HN>About a 2cm ulcer up near the secum (waay up at the top 
-> HN>of the large intestine). Which was no longer bleeding, 
-> HN>and showed signs of healing and no likelyhood of "rebleeding". 
-> HN>The evident cause of the ulcer was Anne's having been on 
-> HN>Naproxin Sodium (aleve) for the previous two weeks treating 
-> HN>an inflamed tendon in her heel! The upshot is we won't be 
-> HN>using aleve or asperin or ibuprofen on her without a strong 
-> HN>need in the future! Once I heard this news (can you spell 
-> HN>relief!!) I came home to care for Scuppers and Jonesy and 
-> 
-> That's good news. Sorry for your scare, though. I take the little blue 
-> pills from time to time - but, never more than two days. And never more 
-> than the recommended dosage - for my wonky shoulder.
-> 
She was taking them on Dr's orders at the 
prescribed dosage...she just reacted to them 
this time like she never did before. I am just 
really happy that it was an easy find and fix! 
There were LOTS of worse things they could have 
found and I'm happy they didn't! I used to use 
naproxin for my back pain when I was still at 
the PO...and I'd be taking 600+ mg twice a day 
for more than a month at a time....just to remain 
functional!

-> Sadly the orthopedist says it's not a rotator cuff (which they could 
-> fix) and he doesn't think it is caused by the bone spur which shows in 
-> the x-rays. The physical therapy he prescribed hasn't helped. I am going 
-> to ask "Now what?" when I go back.
-> 

Hmmm time for hot stones and chanting? (grin)

-> Maybe Anne needs to start on more chilies. Cayenne helps to heal/prevent 
-> stomach ulcers.   Bv)= 
-> 
(chuckle) I just read that to Annie....her response
is mostly unprintable...but essentially she's saying
you're nutz! I tell her the same thing too....and she
is SURE I'm nutz! I keep trying to get her to come over
to the chile side...so far about as successfully as getting
her to eat seafood!
Ah well I keep tryin!
chat with you soon
