Not a real word, though sounds like a root with an ending.. which would
normally mean an inflamation.
In my A&P and Microbiology classes, I have never heard of it as being
pleurosis...pleurisy, yes.

Sounds like Gareth is generating some scar tissue. Icky.

I saw an article about Trader Joe's once that described it as part of a
new trend to create niche grocery stores that target Yuppies. I can't
say that gave me much incentive to visit one.

I'd say it's substantially less yuppie than Whole Foods but if you're
so concerned about image that you worry about what your choice of grocery
stores says about you as a person, by all means continue to keep it real
at Kroger or wherever you shop now..

Re #96 - how do they plan to treat that? Is there a way to fix it? It sounds
horrible, but I'm glad he can keep his spleen. :)

Pleurisy (from a medical dictionary): inflammation of the pleura, with
exudation into its cavity and upon its surface. May be acute or chronic.
The acute version tends eventually to clear up.

Well, I 've had pleurisy twice or three times myself. Not fun. What he said
is that the doctor called it pleurosis and that it was in layman's terms:
"my organs are sticky and my spleen is sticking to my lung". He said that it
ws due to an old infection and that they were giving him some pretty strong
painkillers and telling him to drink lots of water (in hopes of de-sticky-ing
the organs). I can't find anything on the web for pleurosis save the pleurisy
entry myself. Since the only symptom he had was lots of pain, I hope this is
the right treatment.

Re #104: It's not so much about image as about the fact that anything
pitched at Yuppies tends to be overpriced.

IHB I was finally able to find a parking place and check out the
new Whole Foods store. Quite fabulous, in an overpriced Yuppie
sort of way. (Guess my age makes me more of a Guppie than a
Yuppie, though.)

Re 110 - If that's what your concerned about, Trader Joe's is hardly
over-priced

good luck, scott!
My parents and I had lunch at the new Whole Foods while I was in Ann Arbor
last weekend. I was somewhat surprised that it was even more impressive
than the Cambridge version, which is also sizeable. We hit the extensive
salad, etc. bars and threw it together with excellent French bread,
Parrano cheese (two of my Whole Foods staples) and a selection of olives
from the olive bar. Yum.
Trader Joe's is an excellent store. Their produce section isn't very good,
but they have a large selection of cheeses at more than reasonable prices;
cheap pasta, yummy cereals and snacks, and a lot of really good prepared/
frozen foods. With the prices that the large chain grocery stores charge
out here, I rarely patronize them anymore.

Twila, how long does pleurisy take to go away? I have had it for a few months
now - related to the fluid around my lungs that is no longer there (most of
it, anyway).

According to http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Boulevard/1884/pg17.html
pleurosis means "a condition which affects the membranes or air sacs
lining the thoractic cavity of the lungs" and was so used by Tennessee
Williams in "The Glass Menagerie".
According to http://www.lesandhelga.com/sermons/2000/102200.htm
pleurosis means ""filling up" those ego-abandoned caverns of our hearts
with the spirit of Christ, and supposedly "Every Christian" should know
this greek work (also "kenosis").

Medscape and Medline have never heard of "pleurosis".

Trader Joe's around here requires driving and dealing with traffic jams, and
then doesn't seem nearly as nice as the neighborhood stores. Then again, the
neighborhood stores are generally a lot nicer than the old Ann Arbor Whole
Foods, as well. I haven't tried the Whole Foods a couple miles from here.

Yeah, the Trader Joe's in Emeryville was a pain to get into/out of...but they
had great prices on wine.

Where is a Trader Joe's around A2? Or Lansing/Holt/East Lansing where
I typically am? What is it, exactly, anyhow?
