Friday Weekend Check-In thread 12-05-08
 

Just a quick thread to see how everyone is doing. I am doing good, still writing and editing, so we'll see how much longer I feel it needs polishing before I call it done. :)

Jackie is home today with a cold, and coughing. He's going to go out and play later I bet. He's met two little boys from the neighborhood and they befriended him right off the bat at the park. I am just grateful they enjoy playing chase with him on the park. It's fun watching them dart around playing to their own made up rules. :)

So things might be better here now. I just had to post and share it with you since I know things haven't been up to snuff so to speak for awhile. It's nice to see Jackie enjoying himself with his new friends. :)

I also hope to get done on the memoir soon, I really am a little high off my writing, probably just a little bit of mania brought on by finishing the first draft of this memoir I really think is going to sell and be the break out book for me. :)

Hi All!

I'm holding on... it's been a little rough lately... my tdoc's schedule seems to be always running out of room... I saw her today for the first time in about 2 and half weeks.... at least I remembered to share my rollercoaster and how it is that lately others are noticing it faster than I do... I also had to refill my meds due to me forgetting.... I ran out. :o I can't pick up the meds until monday afternoon.... I know... my bad.

I don't have any plans for the weekend as they are calling for snow and my RSD does not like cold weather at all...

Does anyone have any fun plans... I'd even take mediocre or boring plans...

I hope everyone has a great weekend where ever you may be!!!
:hug: for all!!!
Abbie

Pammy he has some neighbor friends!

Abby, I hope you stay warm this weekend.

Not much this weekend except for watching all of the new kitty old cat drama, hissing growling...wonder how long that is going to go on for?

my brothers think I am a witch
 

Hi,
One brother told me that our baby brother got laid off from his job. I started yelling on the phone.

I can't deal with either brother or their wives.
And I am not going to apologize for that.
I'm not going to call baby brother to give him support either. They both annoy me right now and I have way too much going on.


I will mediate on my relationships with them. Meditating takes great effort but it does not annoy me.
Mari

Mari,
I am sorry that you have way too much going on right now.
the winter break is not that far away now...right?
I am proud of you for being able to express yourself.
((((HUGS))))

I am alive and well. I finally made new friends and they REALLY want me to come over and hang out talk to them and see movies and stuff like that. I am so happy. I have been trying to make friends in my area for like 2-3 years since i have moved here.

I cried because I was so happy.

Hi All!
I feel like I have been living at the ER lately. Spent hours and hours, plus doc visits for the son and grandson.
Got into a argument over the 4 hour wait for a level 10+ pain cluster headache of kiddos before he could see the doc, but there were people with bumps and bruises about 6-7 in and out in a 2 hour time period. I was told they had a fast track for minimal caare and we ahd to WAIT for an ACUTE care bed 4 dang hours!!! Throwing uop, stabbing pain, high blood pressure. IT had me frustrated and in tears to see him suffer.

When they triaged I said he has pituatary tumor in the brain, that is next to the optic nerve...
No one gave a dang, but the nurse when he finally got in. She said someone should write to the newspaper or TV about the stupidity of their system. They had no beds open to admit, and were waiting to empty them to take in new acute patients!!!
Then all the doc visits to follow up for grandson and son, dil had thrown her back out too.

I have so much to do to make a Christmas for Katie.
She is still home schooled but in a cyber program instead of the 5 hours of home bound.
Still high anxiety, but some really better days since the stress of school is off her.

The holidays are still so rough for me....
Thinking of you all :grouphug:
di

oh di that jsut sounds awful.
Perhaps you could notify/file a complaint.
I can't imagine that kind of pain for that long, what a helpless feeling.
((((HUGS))))

Sending you some hugs.

I can totally relate to the waiting in ER's I have done my share.

I know I'm waiting on word as to what is going on with my oldest
son right now. My husband has taken him to the ER about 2 hours
ago. It will be 2 or 3 more hours.

He has Ulceratis Colitis and I'm guessing its acting up.

Derrick bowled a great 3 games yesterday and got a 5th place at
state. Its been a long week for me. I'm looking forward to taking
it slow this week.

Donna

Dear DiMarie,
Hugs for you during this holiday time. :hug: :hug: :hug:


Yuck, that sounds like lots of hospital visits. I send good vibes so that the family gets strong and healthy for you.
That is stupid for them to fast track minimal care and not properly triage acute care -- sounds backwards.
I'm sorry that you had to see him suffer and sorry that he was suffering.

Mari

Dear Donna,
I hope that the hospital was able to help your son and that you got some helpful news tonight.
I hope that you have an easy week this week.



Actually, that is my wish for every one -- an easy week. http://bestsmileys.com/playing/12.gif

My son had a IV and got pain killers and steroids.

Then he went to the doctor yesterday, and will have to go back
on Friday if its not better.

He just is not doing the best as the mom would like. But he
is working today.
