LAZY MY BUTT. I get to work 7am-3pm and then 11pm-7am. Why? Oh take a guess! Justin's back in the hospital! Why? I'm starting to think that our lives are one huge joke to God. He better be sending me to hell, or when I die there's going to be holy bloodshed. *sigh*

Justin has an infection in his colon and large intestine. We have no idea why. No one does. Chrons (at least his) doesn't affect the large intestine....soooooo it's not that!!! What the hell man, can we/he EVER get a break??

So that's the start of MY day. Hope y'alls is better!

Shannon I'm with you,  ketchup on scrambled eggs and mac and cheese.

It's warming up now.  It will be 80-90 til Christmas, then it will get hot.

I went to a Tupperware party this afternoon,  I haven't been to one in years so there was some stuff that I wanted to get.  It was fun to catch up with some friends and the REP wasn't too pushy so we had a good time.

Its Sunday night now so hopefully there will be something mind numbing on TV beside the Election Debate (BORING....)

 

Go read left side rightside. come back and talk to me while i can still type.No luck, Mark is watching the debate

 

Well i have to go look up white cloody urine. I thought my skin was to thin before so at the moment i am liking the cosmetic part. All i had to look forward t was wrinkles anyway. I have seen were you can get surgery t free your hands up. After they contract. I wonder about my legs. Just waiting to see how much of me this involves. It let a lot of the pressure up in my neck finally. It gives me a little relieve before it goes to the next stage. I thought it would be all cold. It turned warm first. It is been painful getting here. Now i wonder what is next. The legs and arms are so different. The legs are really swelled. The arms not as much. But the skin changes have already occured in the arms . And the legs seem to be in prosess. He's on 2 antibiotic drips at a time. Poor guy. And some pain meds, but lucky for him it's nothing like what he was dealing with for the galbladder! Wish us luck!You know it baby!  lots of love and hugs coming your way from down under.

Oh Katie I am so sorry to hear about Justin.  I wish him the best.

Keep us posted.

Katie,  I'm very sorry to hear about Justin.  Certainly you both need a break from this.  Sending love, hugs, and prayers your way.

The doctor said it without saying it - if that made any sense........that he may have picked this infection up from the surgery.

 

OH GOODIE. Haven't we just been talking about all the horrible infections going around? Please please don't let it be that!

I was actually just talking to my ex-MIL re: infections after surgery.  She had to have her appendix removed a few years ago and right after surgery she developed a very bad infection.   It was determined that it was a result from the operation.  I will hope this is not the case for Justin.  Katie have you googled side effects of having the gall bladder out?  I did just before I had mine out.  I seen where other people not many but some said they or loved ones got different kinds of infections afterwards. 

You really have to wonder about hospitals these days.  My mum went to ER a couple of weeks ago with pneumonia.  She was treated for 18 hours or so in the ER and the Dr refused to admit her because of the risk of infection.  So he sent her home.  He felt it was safer for her to be home than in hospital with O2 and IV's, and risk getting a staph infection on top of her pneumonia.

Hopefully the antibiotics will take care of it and he will be home fit and well soon.

 

Katie, I am sorry about Justin, I hope he gets to feeling better fast!!!

Hope everyone is doing well. I am not feeling so great myself but the weather is changing so hopefully its that.

Well, going back to lay down. Take care all.

Arliss - supposedly God only gives us as much as we can handle.  Ha.  Justin is in my thoughts and prayers. 

Day 2 of hubby's 11-day vacation!.  Cathy

Sorry to here about justin. I hope it isn't anything to serious. I will keep him in my prayers.

Morning everyone! Ive been up since 9am, but just now have had a chance to sit down and see what is going on w/ everyone.  I made breakfast for Kelsay and my DH.  Scrambled eggs, regular pancakes (not from a box), and potato pancakes for me. 

 Katie...I hope they find out what is causing the infection and the antibiotics clear it up ASAP!!!

 

So sorry to hear about Justin Katie.  I hope his infection clears up quickly.Thank you guys. I really needed you all. I'm super stressed right now. Thanks again for letting me dump here. *hugs*Katie, this has got to be so frustrating, hope they tested to see what kind of infection it is and have Justin on the right antibiotic. The stories on the news are frightening, but don't let your mind get carried away. I'm hoping for a speedy recovery.

Oh, Katie, it seems like Justin just seems to get way more than his share! My prayers are with you both. Please keep us posted.

Be sure you take care of yourself, too. It's very easy to find yourself sick, because of the stress and, of course, trying to work and go to the hospital,etc. Try to get the rest you need, too.

I've heard from many doctors, that they don't really like to keep anyone in the hospital unless it is absolutely necessary! They say that there is so much infection in hospital, and people who come in are in such a lowered state of resistance, that they pick up EVERYTHING!

Have you told his Mom? I hope she will show more interest than before. I have a hard time understanding her.

Let us know how he does, Sweetie, and please take care of yourself.

Hugs, Nini

 

< =text/>_popupControl(); Oh Katie Bug...sorry to hear about Justin.  You and I have talked already and will talk more later.  Just remember I loves yas girlie!!!

Hope everyone is having a good Sunday afternoon and able to relax today!!!

Our best friend is coming today so I will be pretty scarce today.

I need some prayers said for a friend of ours please!  Our friends girlfriend was found dead on Saturday morning from an accidental overdose.  She didi have a prescriptioon drug addiction that she had been trying to battle. 

Gotta run!

Liz, Im soo sorry to hear about your friends girlfriend.  How hard that must be for him!!! 

Katie, I told Kels that Justin was back in the hospital and she was so sad.  She said that shes going to say a prayer for him when she goes to bed tonight.  Its funny too, cause shes been playing w/ her polly pockets all day and she named one of them Justin.  It was really cute. 

Katie, I'm very sorry to hear that Justin is back in the hospital.  I will get busy praying for his fast recovery.

Liz, I will also send up prayers for your friend.  DH and I work with people fighting drug and alcohol addiction and it is a tough thing to beat.

 

Katie I am so sorry, but maybe this will work out to find more that they need to fix without anything catastrophic happening.  You get some sleep tonight, and don't come online after work.  I will check. 

Liz...I am so sorry for your friends loss and yours as well.  I am glad he has you and Danny to help him through.  Take care and rest. 

Well, this will probably be my last post today, as I am in some extreme pain due to the four letter word that visited us, and the unsettled weather.  Every time I use them my hands are going numb and then they start hurting all over again.  love ya all, and hope for a better day tomorrow.

Katie, I hope Justin has a speedy recovery!

Liz, will remember your friend in my prayers.

Anybody home?Today hasn't been lazy, I vaccumed the house, did the laundry, flea dipped the dog, spray down  one of the cats, brushed another, I made an awesome pork roast with chow mein noodles stir fry, did the dishes, swept the floor, clean the bathroom and started getting all he statues and such down in the basement from the yard.  Can I collapse now?? please!!!

 

I'm lonely!

Katie comeover to my post about not able to sleep we have been being goofy there!!!!  hehehehe meme

 

So what's new?

No problem!

Not much new here...cleaned house today. Yippee!

Don't work too hard! I might be back on in a little while.

Katie honey sorry bout Justin being back in the hospital. Hope he does well on the Iv's and can come home soon. I'll be praying for you guys. If you need me I'm here for ya

Hey Sweetie!

Just checking in since hubby had me fix something on his computer.

I have had a bad day, but doing a little better. I am at least able to walk in an upright position. I have spent my day sleeping and laying around. As muscle relaxer and pain meds are kicking my bootay.

I hope to be able to get online tomorrow. If not... Tuesday, maybe.

I go to get my first Remicade infusion Tuesday. I kinda cannot wait, but scared of the needle.

My fingers are swelled, just about everything is swelled. And my right hip is still bothering me. It is now effecting one of my toes, and then hits my ankle and knee and hip and then my lower back. It is just awful.

I can feel something in my right thigh. Not sure what it is. Hubby says it feels like a tightened muscle, but I have been taking my muscle relaxers and that is not making it or the pain go away. But it is working for my neck and back

Ok welp, gotta go.

Talk to ya'll later or tomorrow since I cannot lay around all day.

I'm filling my Flexeril tomorrow. Thank God!

 

 Hey Joonie

Katie does flexeril knock you for a loop? Boy it sure does me, it takes a good 24 hrs to sleep one off for me

I take flexeril too. 10mg. The first two hours it makes me hyper then it knocks me out. I'm in the hyper phase now and can't sleep. Does that happen to anyone else?

It did when I first started taking it, but I think it was more because I suddnely had relief.
