RE: No Friday thread?

Vette · Owl drink to that!

It's going to be some long weeks coming up. I'm saving like mad for my corvette and I told my bro I'd help him out of a financial jam, so I'll be working 7/10's for awhile.

I'm sorry FWM. Maybe the isolation will help calm her & relieve her pain.

More bad news.
My niece, Stephanie, the one who has been struggling with severe migraines for many years, is back in the hospital.
This time they have put her in isolation, in the mental ward. (She's been dealing with depression and panic disorder for a while now. I don't know all the details, but she could sure use some prayers, for any of our Geeks who have a few to spare.)
I'm so sad. I think I'm going to have a little cry.
Be back later, Good Geeks.
I hope no one else is having the kind of day I'm having.

I had no idea migraines could get so severe :(

Wow, a lot of sickness and death lately. I hope everyone gets to feeling better.

Me either Vette. Up until Stephanie, I thought someone who had a migraine that lasted two days, was in bad way. Hers last for weeks. With only a couple of good days in between. cry

She's so depressed, and frightened about the stay at Cleveland Clinic, that her doctors in Kansas City are lining up, she was feeling suicidal.

So, the hospital is the best place for her, right now.

And, when she gets released, her parents are going to take her back to Des Moines with them.

It just wouldn't be safe to leave Steph alone all day, while her husband is at work. I'm glad she'll be with Monica and Jack.

That's horrible. I'm so sorry for her. That pain could really drive someone insane, literally. I hope they can do something for her.

Woke up to a dark sky. By the time I checked to see if DS was awake (he was) and changed his diaper, it was pouring. DS had fun splashing in the puddles and catching rain in his bucket.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

I hope and pray that they can, too, LL.

And, I just got kind of emotional on the phone with Wayne, explaining how my day was going.

He offered to bug out of work early, so that he can haul Huey's chubby body into the Vet's office for me. wink

And, he offered to take me out for drinks and dinner.

I feel a little guilty. But, I'm glad he offered.

My day just got a little bit better. smile

DH and I are sitting home trying to catch up on Grey's Anatomy. Apparently something big happened on last night's episode and I am trying very hard not to see spoilers.

I've never watched it but I do know the final episode. My coworkers were talking about it earlier today.

I have started watching a new hospital show called Night Shift. I really like it.

How fun! My boys used to love to play in puddles when they were little! smile

Mere, not so much. She didn't like to get dirty. biggrin

Thanks for the happy image, chef! smile

All I want to do is finish with all this homework/school work so that I can go play in the mud. More specifically, my garden. I need to move it and get started with planting.

Dh and I watched it when it first came out. Now we only catch up when there is nothing else to watch, but I was hearing all about this episode and figured we better see what was going on. Now that I'm here, it's exactly what I figured.

A friend of mine suffers from migraines is also manic depressant. We were friends 4 years before she told me. She hid it well when out and about, but apparently it took great effort for her to get out and about.

Stephanie isn't manic depressive. Depression/Panic disorder, has only started in the past couple of years.

Steph is depressed/panic disorder, due to dealing with severe migraines, since she was 25, or so.

Stephanie is 39. She has been dealing with this "chronic pain" problem, for a very long time.

It is taking a toll, on her mental heath, at this stage of the game. cry

I'll say some prayers for your friend, FNW. I hope she is doing well. And will continue, to do well.

But, she's not in the same boat, as Stephanie. (Thank goodness.)

I would call Stephanie's condition, Extreme Migraines. And now, her mental health is at risk, as well. cry

We are at the hospital with DHs grandfather. Not sure what is going on. We are getting serious mixed signals...one Dr. Is making it sound like he won't make it through the night and another is acting like its no big deal, he's just here to be on the safe side.

Prayers and good thoughts on the way, NAOW.

I hope your husband's Grandfather will be okay.

Hugs to you.

FWM, I hope Stephanie pulls through, she is too young.

NAOW. Wow, and the doctors are so far apart on their diagnosis? That is unsettling to say the least.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

So took the dog down to play with his BFF, they were having a fire outside. Sent their DD up to my house to get my DD and out s'mores kit. They are having an awesome time. It's cold, as in freezing temps. I stayed with the dog for awhile and came home. DD is still near having a blast.

Naow, sending prayers your direction! Please keep us updated if you can...

I listened to the Docs but always got my info from the nurses. They were usually better at telling what the true story was.

Update on Huey.

Dr. Loveless thinks it's a stomach bug. He gave Huey an antibiotic shot, and a shot of anti- nausea medication.

And sent us home, with liquid meds, to start, tomorrow morning.

He also asked us to keep Huey separate, from the other cats. To keep an eye on how well he's eating. Or yaking. And, to make sure he is off loading into the litter box. (If you know what I mean.)

Okay.

I'm tired of this house. I'm getting too old to want to clean it.

But.

A big Master Bedroom Suite, comes in handy, at times. (This, is one of those times.) wink

19 by 15 foot bedroom. (Too big, I hate it.) furious

Attached to a 14 foot by 10 foot bathroom. ( Again, more than I want to keep clean.) cry

And, the closet, runs behind the bathroom. 14 feet long, it starts out wider, and narrows down.

It gives a sick pet, a lot of room, when they need to be alone.

Almost like an apartment, in New York City! Right? biggrin

I'm sick of this house. But, I'm glad we still have it. Too much room, comes in handy, sometimes. wink

NAOW · Vette's SS

Thanks everyone.

They have given him 24-48 hours. They are going to keep him comfortable. No one knows what exactly happened. He was doing pretty well yesterday. They think he may have had a stroke, but he also has COPD, and slight renal failure, and now his heart rate is too fast and his blood pressure is too low. THey don't know what to do and think doing anything invasive will be too much for him and not worth it in the end.

We made all the calls, and everyone came to visit him. DH is going to stay the night with him tonight and maybe we will know more tomorrow.

The nurse wasn't sure what the straight answer was either. SHe let us know that she told the director about all the issues and assured us it was going to be worked on.

NAOW I'm so sorry to hear that. Hang on tight. You never know what will happen. One day at a time.

FWM, I didn't know this but dogs and cats can get the flu. Our new vet told us. They even have flu shots for pets. Crazy.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Dear FWM,

While I really appreciate the chocolates you gave me and have them hoarded away, I totally forgot that they are the same size, shape, and color as the dog treats the vet gave us. Sadly, every time I get a chocolate out I am dog bombed by three dogs all wanting their treat back. They simply do not comprehend why I am eating their doggie treats.

LOL! That pretty funny, NJN. You probably have those dogs so confused, right about now!

Okay, time to check on Huey, and try giving him his first dose of the medicine. Fingers crossed.
