Pie? Ok, sounds good. Key Lime, please, or banana cream. susi t - I was just having a bad day. No worries. Concerned Artie, but Artie is off to the other side of the world now, so we'll hear from him again in a while. I DO like that man. Just wanted to come in here where there are usually warm fuzzies to go around.

Been at the hospital with hubby (again) this time he had a "gall bladder" attack that triggered a heart attack (minor) he had a stint put in during the angiogram (turned into an angeoplasty.) Only one vein was occluded, thank heaven. He felt better immediately. However, when they gave him food a few minutes ago, it triggered more pain, so he may have to have gall-bladder surgery too. Ah well, just another day in the life of moi!! | ||

Thank you, will go up tonight to see "what the plan" is. (Either come home tomorrow and return for the gall-bladder, or rip it out while he's there...) Interesting fact: His father died at age 63 of a heart attack back in 1964 (no stints, no 911, nothing.) Flash forward 42 years, son is 64, has probably the same thing, survives. We live in interesting times. | ||

L. A. B., that's an interesting insight about doctors--many of them are strange critters and that just might go a long way toward explaining their quirks. And I'm so glad to hear that your mate made it through the crisis! Gallbladder pain is no fun at all, so I hope they yank it, if he's up to it. Life without one is manageable and the required cutting way down on fats will be good for his arteries, too. You may have noticed that when here at Sal's I eat all the no-no's I can get my hands on, since in virtual form, they're ever so much less bad for me. And on that note, I'll have a plateful of fried sausages and homefried potatos, with a hot cornmeal muffin smothered in real butter on the side  [the sound of arteries hardening is heard in the background]"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."

Yes, gelf--I am gallbladderless and doing fine, just careful what I eat. And nomie had it too. Brighid, sports are a mystery to me, too--I used to try very hard to at least understand their importance, but finally gave up. Obviously, on whatever planet/dimension I'm from, sports don't exist.

Hey Waxy, have something special for ya! "Recently, the Psychic Hotline and Psychic Friends Network have launched hotlines for frogs. Here is the story of one frog and his discussing with his psychic. A frog telephones the Psychic Hotline and is told, "You are going to meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything about you." The frog says, "This is great! Will I meet her at a party, or what?" "No," says the psychic. "You'll meet next semester in her biology class." Hubby can't seem to get out of the hospital, (it takes three Docs to sign off and they cannot come to a concensus, one says no surgery for at least three weeks ( 2 cardialogists) go out, the G.I. man says they can do it with cardialogist being in surgery, stay in. It's Friday and no Doctor is in office on weekends from Friday to Sunday, hospital is on half-staff (with interns and residents who cannot do anything without supervision), all surgery is done only on Monday thru Thursday, and my frustration levels are rising. (Can anyone hear me screaming yet!!!!) More sugar, brownies, cookies, coke, anything!! | ||
| nadm Advanced Member Username: nadm Post Number: 413 Registered: 9-2004 |
LAB, if he's otherwise able to leave (besides the gall bladder question), call his primary doc (who should be coordinating all this anyway) and inform her/him that he is signing out, that he will do so AMA (against medical advice) if they don't discharge him. when they are ready to prep him for the gall bladder surgery they can readmit him. this should be a matter of what is best for your hubbie, not what's most convenient for the hospital staff. never stay in a hospital longer than you need to. new things can go wrong. i think the foreign systems where a family member sleeps beside the patient are much smarter than ours. and no, not *all* docs are Aspies. in fact, a lot of them are just plain old fashioned pri**s. and then there are the exceptions that make the rule... hey Sal, could i just get a caffeine fix, please? head spinning from day over-full of fractious kids. i'll settle for a double 'spresso. | ||
| gelfling Senior Member Username: celine Post Number: 3796 Registered: 1-2004 |
Not to mention all the strange bugs floating around in the hospital with all the sickies. I can't believe my BF's younger sister had to go to the hospital yesterday for what they said was a 'pre-stroke'. I think they meant one of those transient thingies. That's not a good sign. And she's only like 34. | ||
| L. A. B. Senior Member Username: leathab Post Number: 5812 Registered: 12-2003 |
Update: They finally "revealed" what was going on (maybe my ranting worked??) Hubby is throwing more "enzymes" in his blood (meaning heart damage) and they are watching to see if another stint is required or if the medication will kick in and they will go down (they informed him he is one of the 5% that something goes awry.) Also, they finally admitted that his primary-care physician goofed by not reading the first ultra-sound that revealed the gall-stones, hubby should not have had the fatty meal that triggered the gall-stone/heart attack. (Oh for crying out loud, if people would just do their jobs.) Who can I sue?? Who can I choke?? He didn't have to have any of this, (except maybe gall-bladder surgery, but he may have heart-attacked during it, so maybe it was for the best.) Anywhoo, they are thinking of going in through the mouth, stomach up the "tubes" into the gall-bladder to remove the stones (the hard way) only problems is if they poke wrong he could bleed out (due to blood-thinners for the stint) but if they don't he could have another heart attack from the pain of the stones. (He's between a rock and a hard place.) So there he sits in hospital, probably until MONDAY, when they do these procedures. ARGH!!!! Blankity, blank blank blank!!!!

Gods, L. A. B.--I've been in situations much like yours so many times, but I never get used to them and I never emerge a lot wiser, either. Hospitals are miserable places, filled with people who are sick and people who are trying to do their jobs so they can go home, hemmed in on all sides by rules and regulations and terrified of being sued. When something goes right, I rejoice and try to believe that my luck has turned, but then something always goes wrong and I realize that I was just lucky. Momentarily. Just know that we're there with you in spirit and wish we could do something to make the experience easier and more bearable. And try not to have a stroke yourself over all the snafus, for heaven's sake! The only thing that got me through the gallbladder mess was my iPod--I played my music and tried not to stress. It's the lack of control, I think, that gets to me the worst when I'm a patient...drives me nuts. I really, really feel for your hubby. And for you. Pop in here and decompress--there's nothin' like a stiff virtual drink or some gourmet virtual chocolate to relax a body John, I need a big bowl of icecream to end my day--mint chocolate chip. And make it the green kind, with dark, dark chocolate hunks in it "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." Sinclair Lewis 1935 | ||

hey Pat I followed your advice and it made all the difference in my painting. Its oils but it worked! the drying is murder. I even sold that painting and have painted 2 more (a diptych). my leaves are amazing I really enjoyed this painting exercise. I really paired down my brushes and just used a "loose drawing." just waiting for the one to dry to add the lights. one huge bowl of mint dark chocolate chunk coming right up. | ||

Thinking about you LAB, and making prayers for you and hubby. Probably the best place for him over the weekend IS in the hospital, so he will HAVE to stay quiet and not be tempted to get up and mess around the house. Just make super sure that the nurses, aids, techs and anyone else who touches him or his "stuff" puts on their gloves in his presence (or yours). Staff sometimes put on a pair of gloves to protect themselves, but go from patient to patient and somehow think that the gloves are going to protect the patients, too. No way, Jose. Don't be afraid to speak up about the glove issue. It is very important. (As a patient who got MRSA twice, I will be exceptionally careful if I ever have to be hospitalized again. MRSA = Methicillin Resistant Staph. aureus = pneumonia!) So, John, could you rustle up a double portion of grits, with real butter on top, a couple of eggs over easy and four strips of bacon? If Patricia can eat virtual fatty foods, I think I'll join in, if that's OK, Patricia. Susi t, you are a good person.

John, try the *virtual* chocolate here at Sal's--I'll bet it agrees with you much, much better L. A. B., I'm not much into games, but I do have an interest in the DaVinci Code and belong to a Yahoo list on the Priory of Sion, so all sorts of bits and pieces of arcane info on that subject are floating around in my brain...what's left of it. It's a shame we can't set up a telepathic link so that you could tap it, since I'm not doing anything much with it John, I'm so glad your painting is going well That's wonderful! Since you asked my about your Calla Lily painting, each time I see one of the flowers on my walks, I think of you and wonder how the project is coming moonhowler, please do join me in my virtual fat feast--just think, if we stick around long enough, there will probably be computers we can jack into (a la cyberpunk) and actually experience the taste of that delicious fatty food on our tongues!

It's only done online, millions are doing it (I guess) to promote the movie, it will be over, when it comes out May 19th. Weird games. Hubby is home, not real happy finding out what foods he cannot have (protein triggers gall-bladder attacks so he has to modify, no nuts, beans, chicken even, or in very tiny portions.) Also lower sodium and skim milk. He's real pleased. | ||
