So far, nothing has shown up on xrays or bloodwork to explain, but they are running further tests to see if the problem can be pinpointed.

Off to the shower, and then back to him. And this time I won't forget my Kindle!

I hope it turns out to be nothing more serious than being short one lung. I don't even want to ask how that happened.

My dragons hatched. Don't you all go looking at them, I don't want to have to go the fog route.

Ugh! I hope he's okay, dg, and improves back to usual health soon. We're all thinking of you both (if that was not obvious by now

).

I'll let others elaborate on "risotto", but the good news is that "risotto" goes together with "mushroom" like "arse-kicking" goes together with "Xena".

Cheers,

I really must try (or make) a good mushroom risotto. Sadly, badly cooked mushroom risotto seems to be a popular vegetarian standby for many restaurants, where it tends to be tasteless mush.

The last risotto I made was saffron, garlic and red pepper. The rice is fried in either butter or olive oil (can't remember!) until it goes clear, then stock is added about a ladle at a time, stirred til it's absorbed then more added. Somewhere along the line the saffron, garlic, red peppers and white wine are also added...

Garrrlic! Hmmmmm!

badgoodDeb · 01-12-2009, 08:23 PM

Hmmmmm - I thought your recipe had so excited Marc that he went topsy-turvy -- but that's somebody *swiping* Marc!! How can this be!?!

Are you a vegetarian?

He misheard someone, and thought they said "Turn that clown upside down".

That was a bit of a jump. Well, as long as I don't get any extra aches and pains, I guess I'm not going to complain.

DG, I hope your husband feels better soon!

desertgrandma · 01-12-2009, 11:08 PM

thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and comments.

Still don't know anything for sure, but he is, as they say, 'resting comfortably'.

Tomorrow first thing he'll see his pulmo guy, and hopefully he can give some answers. This was his first experience with not being able to quite catch his breath since a year ago October, and I know for him it must have been terrifying. Combined with a 'fuzzy tingly' feeling from his jawbone to the top of his head, I couldn't get to the hospital fast enough. Its only 6 miles away, but seemed like 60.

so what am I doing now? I"m going to put on my jammies, grab my kitty kat and go to bed.

Thanks again, everyone.

I'm glad he's doing better. You were right to get him to medical help asap. That tingly feeling could have been a stroke.

Well, I just had one of the best midnights ever. I went outside to take out the last of the trash and bring in some fresh water. Full moon was up high, and since it's at apogee it seemed huge ... very bright, I didn't even need a flashlight to get up to the road. Even with all that moonlight, I could see Ursa Major, Cassiopeia, the Pleiades, Bootes, Canis Major, Cygnus .... and I had my iPod playing, and "The Butterfly" came on. Next thing I knew I was dancing a mad jig out on the road, under all those stars.

Now, I'm having a grape soda and then going to bed too.
