You're welcome :)

The background is your problem. It's one of the older ones with the cutout. Sometimes you can get creative layering solid ground and foreground items behind the background to camouflage the holes, otherwise you just have to only use the newer style full backgrounds with body mods.

You're very welcome. Hope you have a pleasant week! :)

you're welcome!

, cross fingers that all becomes well 👍

... yes, that is bitter that you spend money for parts that you can not use normally, the programmers would have to change... there are some of them... annoys me... , there is nothing i can put behind...

My dearest Bears,

Thank you all for the wonderful gifts that you sent my way for Luminaire, I promise to send each one of you a special thank you note in the coming week. I've got my paws full of babies and the Yule season is a busy time for me and Weldon. We've had a lot of snow the last two weeks and that just makes things more busy.

I have a small update on my Author Mark and the problems he was having with his breathing and heart rate. He saw his primary care provider who ran lots of blood tests and urine analysis. She also performed a ECG of his heart and auscultated his chest listening for valve abnormalities and clear lungs.

All lab values came back normal except for protein in the urine which is indicative of acute kidney injury, but the clinical picture is inconclusive of any diagnosis. She also ordered furosemide to help reduce retained water in the tissues and lungs to make breathing better. That was about three weeks ago.

Last week, Mark got to meet a cardiologist who did a portable echocardiogram and couldn't discern any valve defects or heart chamber abnormalities. Another ECG was also inconclusive, so the cardiologist ordered a complete series of stress tests and echocardiograms done in the cardio lab for next week.

The only thing that concerned the cardiologist was something Mark said during his intake interview. He had been working very strenuously on remodeling a room in his house, doing drywall repair and such and taking ibuprofen tablets to help with the soreness. Mark was also taking diclofenac ointment for the joint pain in his paws as well as a daily celecoxib for knee pain. That's three NSAIDS, which is a lot. The cardiologist was concerned that perhaps mark may have caused an acute kidney inflammation by overdosing on diclofenac (not measuring the cream dose carefully enough). A kidney insult would cause acute water retention, increased blood pressure, overloading the heart, backing up into the lungs and making breathing difficult. But the most immediate concern for the time being is getting the heart checked out.

Mark stopped taking all NSAIDS immediately with the onset of his symptoms, he was a Respiratory Therapist III for 34 years and suspected right away what the cause of his troubles might have been. Since being on the furosemide, he has felt much better and has had very little swelling of his legs and very little shortness of breath, other than the normal kind he gets for being old and fat. Just saying....I mean, it's not like he's going to read this.

Anyway, I promised you all that I would report back to you and I will keep you up to date on the results of his tests as soon as I know something. I do love him, and I teas him, but he has done a lot for me and Weldon and helped me write my book. So, it's OK if I goad him a little bit to put down the 8-inch wedge of fruitcake and walk around the block...put the beer down too human!

Just remember, NSAIDS are good medicine, but you have to be careful and follow your healer's advice. Don't max out three or four in a day.

I love you all, Happy New Year! We're Half Way Out Of The Dark!!

arent you in California?? It can snow huh Oh are you like more inland?

To all of you, and your families, having health issues, I hope the doctors figure out soon what's going on and work on fixing and alleviating the problems.

Amanda/mindyjane I'm so sorry to hear that Adam is in hospital. My thoughts and well wishes are with you and Adam.
