How are you doing Terrie? I’m still waiting for

treatment to start…..have a good evening…judy

[Guest guest]

Would you believe this specialist charges $135 for

an office visit of about 15 minutes? He has done nothing my family doctor

couldn’t do and wasted a lot of time also….judy

[Guest guest]

It really makes me mad to see what these doctors (I'm not talking all) get away with.....I give them all the credit in the world for going to school and learning and treating patients, and hopefully curing. So many times though you see $$$$$$$ instead of the care. I know patients out number doctors, but it is no excuse to pawn us off. I would much rather have the doctor tell me (He-She) is way to busy and maybe I need to see someone else. Brain Fog is setting in again, (actually I don't think it ever left) but someone told me that there was a special on T.V. the other night on Hep-C and it's victems. I wish I would have watched. If anyone did, Please let me know what the program covered.

Take Care Everyone,

Love Terri

Thanks that would be great. Tell me how do people find other people to email to. Do you make friends at the hepatitis c groups and how do you get there. I hope you will be my friend also. Still waiting for my medication my viral load is higher now and been on the list for 3 months.

Hello Terri, (and everyone) It's been at least 2 or 3

months since I last responded to this support site.

Been traveling for by demanding job. You asked me for

info on " Procrit " a while back and I am still on it to

keep my RBC count up to counter what the Peg-Intron

depletes. I had my 5 month check-up yesterday and my

tests showed negative for Hepc. My enzymes are still

elevated though. In a way, I was almost (sort of)

hoping that the tests would still show positive so

that I could decide whether I still wanted to continue

the treatments. I am really tired of the on again /off

again nausea and just plain feeling bad. You can't

imagine what a hassle it is to be constantly traveling

by air and have to go through Customs etc. with all

the syringes and vials. Not to mention that the

Procrit needs to be refridged. I know it sounds like I

am complaining but I am not. I was determined to see

this through from the beginning so I will continue

treatment for another 6 months and hope this bug

doesn't return..My thoughts and prayers to you all and

have a fun 4th!

Another Pacific Northwesterner,

Art

Hi Art,

I was wondering if you were still out there. I take it the procrit is working. My counts are all way below normal. They have been for some time. I have been told so many things, who knows what is the best thing for energy, and just feeling decent. I'm glad to hear your Hep-C is negative.....Mine has also been negative for a few months, but like you the last time my liver enzymes were elevated. I give you credit flying around...the thought just makes me a little woozy. Keep in touch.....

Love Terri

Hi Terri, I really am glad you are doing well after

your ordeal. You mentioned that you didn't want to

start BP meds yet... I have been taking Procardia for

high BP long before starting the peg/combo. Is this an

issue that I should ask my Dr about? Also, anyone have

any feedback about low potassium levels? Monday I got

2 calls from both my regular Dr. and my HCV Dr. amd

both told me to get on potassium that day and that I

couldn't wait till the next day to pick up the RX. I

didn't ask why the urgency. Just thought I'd

ask....Well, Everyone have a nice weekend!

Hi Art,

I was told that blood pressure medicine is not good on the liver.....(now adays nothing is) I mentioned this to my Dr. and she said now they have so many products on the market that she felt it was not a big issue. Who Knows. Potassium, well I know my body cramps something awful after I do my shot, and cramping can come from the lack of potassiun in your system. I do take suplements. Eat a banana a day. (I know if you are like me...I hate banana's). I hope everything else is going well. Take Care Terri

My God, Terri. You ARE busy. That women is certainly lucky to

have such wonderful neighbors as you. I'm sure she really appreciates

everything you're doing for her, too. I haven't had much time to

post lately, but I couldn't delete your post without commending you

for your hard work in helping this unfortunate woman. My heart aches

for someone that's in such a predicament. Bless her.

RE: busy busy

Hi Shaye,

Just getting home... I passed the TB test!! I knoew I would, but the bruise

had me scared the nurse wouldn't be able to get a reading. I'm needle-phobic

even for a simple test like this and when the nurse saw how I bruised she

was very apologetic.

Thanks for the offer... right now she is set, but as we get into her kitchen

we may find something that she might need. The last time we went camping we

were delayed getting to the campground because I got a frantic call from her

home health aid... a pipe broke under the kitchen sink and they couldn't

find the shut off. Off I went up the road, got the water shut off and when

my hubby got home he fixed the pipe. We talked Tammy's Mom into calling the

insurance company (everything is in her Mom's name) about the water damage..

floor warped and even caused a sink hole in her hall way that she got her

wheel chair stuck in one day and it actually tipper her over. Anyway... the

insurance company came out and is going to be sending her a check to have

the kitchen floor replaced....sub-floor... tile and floor and carpet in the

hall way too. Our hubby's are doing the work so we can save her a ton of

money.They are just buying the material out of the money and aren't charging

her any labor. They are going to lower her kitchen counter, remove the doors

under the sink so she can get up to it and we're re-doing her pantry cause

she can reach the shelves in there.

SO.... as we get further into things for her I may put out a call for odds

and ends and whatnots.

Rural Metro came out today and she's hooked up to a panic button system now.

I think all us gals will sleep a bit easier at night.

Time to switch laundry

Terri

What a nightmare. That home health aid should lose her license. Was she reported

to anybody or isn't there anything that can be done? Giving a patient pills that

are

aren't hers is unbelievable. It sort of sounds like some of those homes for the

elderly

that you hear about where the residents are kept doped up and never get cleaned

or

taken care of. How disgusting. Tammy sure is lucky you're taking over.

Please Read

Dear List Members,

Sorry I've been absent for a few days. Things have suddenly taken a wild

turn around here. As you know I was the back up home health aid for Tammy.

Well... as of Thursday of this past week I am now her full time daytime aid.

Her full time aid left under a mutual firing and quiting. The aid had given

Tammy meds that Tammy no longer had a script for... they were the aids meds,

but Tammy had taken them before. The Dr's pulled her off them because she

used them too quick. They were muscle relaxers. Poor Tammy could hardly sit

up. After the daytime aid left we called poison control. The amount she had

taken was not dangerous, but with her already weakened muscles she was a rag

doll. Tammy smokes and it was such a scary sight to see her try and hold a

cigarette. She actually set her diaper on fire in the evening.. she's ok

though (her cigs were taken away when the evening aid went home) It's a good

thing I stopped up after dinner as it took 2 of us to get her changed.

Normally she can do most of it herself, but just needs someone there to

steady her. You see... Tammy is an old hippy... if you tell her " Here Tam,

this is cool, try it " she will!! From what we've been able to get out of

Tammy the aid was smoking pot at her house on a regular basis and was

bringing her all kinds of things to " try " .

Tammys house was a mess. Her vision is diminished because of the MS and what

she thought was a shadow in the corner of the tub wasn't. It was a moldy

pair of rubber gloves. You couldn't find the top of Tammys kitchen table and

there was a bunch of black gunk behind the kitchen faucets. Between 8 am and

11:30 am on Thursday Tammy had a shower (her first in 2 weeks!!! grrrr), we

had coffee out on her deck, her kitchen table and counter were found...

scrubbed and junk was thrown out. I pulled her table out from the wall and

now her favorite place to sit is her cleaned off kitchen table with her aloe

and mint plants growning in a pot in the middle. Her only place to sit

before was either her wheel chair of the living room couch. It took me no

time at all to clean this up. Her old aid said wouldn't let her clean

anything. Well has been gone for a little over a month now and it

looked worse than when he was alive. Yesterday her living room got cleaned

and the nasty bathroom now shines. And between the 2 days I did 9 loads of

wash for her. Had child protective ever stopped we were scared Tammy would

loose her son because of the filth ... it was that bad. Not any more!!

This weekend Tammy is at her mothers and her new kitchen floor is being

installed. She had a water leak a few weeks ago and the insurance covered

the damage. Her house is going to look so cool on Monday. She isn't going to

know what to do. Well... maybe she can relax on her own now with someone

giving her drugs to do it.

So what am I getting at here, right? Well.... I'm going to be scarce from

the list during the week day hours. I'm scheduled for 35 hours a week. I'll

be checking e mail in the evenings and on the weekends only. If you need

help with any problems please be patient with me. Remember Colleen is

here too. If you need me, put my name in the subject line so it pops out at

me right away. If it's something that's out of control.... ie spammers, out

of control stuck emails from again (we are restricted membership... no

one can get it without auth and have run of the list so I don't expect any

problems) call me right away. 1-866-67-SOAPS voicemail box 1 or 2... either

is fine. I check my voice mail the second I get in the door... E mail

usually waits until I get dinner cooking and my house in order. This has to

be the kindest lists on the net... I thank each and every one of you for

that... your a great group. I'm not leaving. I'm still soaping and running

my business too. Relax and make this list yours. Carry on just like normal

please. I don't want to see this list dwindle because you think the owner

has better things to do like some lists have in the past. I'm here and I'm

going no mail on all my other lists so that my main focus when I turn on the

computer is you, our list and my business. (course I still have to search

for Play Station cheats for my son every now and then

Off to spiffy up my house so my evenings can be relaxing.

Yeeeek.... it's tough going back to work after 8 years!! LOL

Terri

[Guest guest]

Wow, Terri. That's a shocker. After all you've done for her and she

treats you like that!! You certainly don't deserve it and I'm glad to

hear you aren't standing for it and quit. She'll have a hard time replacing

you.

Maybe her son should come over and spend 10 hrs/day with her and see

how that works. (hehe) I wouldn't be surprised if you get a call from one

of them soon and ask you to come back.

well......

Don't know what to say here really, but I quit my job working for Tammy

today. Many tears were shed... I was screamed at over the phone by her son..

she got sooo mean and nasty with me. I never expected this... I knew she

had been mean to her other aids, but she was always so kind to me until

today. All we could figure is had I been up there today doing something for

her she wouldn't have been like this. The whole thing was over something she

had asked me to do many times and I was doing it.... she said she doesn't

play by any rules and her rules are the ones she goes by and she can change

them without notice and without filling in all involved. So I looked like

the idiot...

Feeling bummed... I tried to help out... but now maybe I won't be screamed

at by her son again. FYI she allows him to talk and scream at her like this.

I'll be back to normal activity on the list now... thats a plus. I was

feeling so out of it. And maybe I can get to those web site updates done we

ve needed on our site.

Terri

[Guest guest]

Here's the kicker ... the son is there 24/7 he's only 8 years old!! He

knows no limits at all... he whines... he gets. She asked me to help raise

him... let her know when he's playing with the wrong kids... then tells him

it's ok to play with these kids that threatened to kill him when it wasn't

ok the day before (like huh?)... let her know when he goes out of the park

or when he leaves my house to have him check in with her before he goes

somewhere else..... help him off the clock with getting off the bus and

homework and such... heck I had to show him how to take a shower..... no one

ever explained to him how to suds up a wash cloth or even how to use soap...

he had a nasty skin infection this summer from not showering!!! I made him

one of those bath poof thingys with soap in it and some good EO's so he

would keep using soap... she wanted extra eyes cause she can't see well...

she knows she is a sucky parent... freely admits whenever she feels like it.

.. in public... anywhere!!... even lost him at one point to foster care, but

the second you give her help she freaks out!!!

Like I said... changes the rules without filling in all the players. I the

player not knowing of the rule change ran to the wrong feild goal today.

Called me a dictator.... whatever... at least he finished all his antibiotic

this time.... when I cleaned out her fridge there were 7 ...yes 7 full

bottles of antibiotic because no one ever made him take it when he was sick.

... and then she would say... " I don't know why his colds keep getting worse "

UGH! ummm maybe that's why he had to have tubes put in his ears and have his

tonsils and adnoids taken out this spring.

ok... enough ranting.... I'm to the gossip stage now and that aint cool. I

am going to fill the agency in tomorrow about how she has treated me and

that she needs someone to explain to her from the agency about how to treat

her aids. She's going to go through the list and come to an end of aids that

will come to her house one of these days.

Boy, it's a good thing you finally went to the doctor. I hope that

medicine works good. You really should take it real easy this

weekend - let the family do for themselves and wait on you for

once.

Take care

Re: Many subjects

Hi Jeanine,

I finally broke down and went to the Dr this afternoon. I have a sinus

infection and the startings of bronchitis. I had 104 fever when I got there.

The fever never got below 99 since Monday. She put on some mega anti biotic.

. Levaquin... once a day thing. I was the 8th or 9th person in the office

today with it and I'm on bed rest for the weekend (yeah right... come on.. I

m a Mom!) She also said this has been turning into pneumonia in alot of

people and I came in at a good time. My head still feels like there is a

plunger over my nose lol The nurse and the Dr both said " Lets see.... we

haven't seen you since Oct 11th of last year with.... a sinus infection!

Still have a touch of a fever tonight... haven't checked it, but I feel it.

off to kick the dog off my spot on the couch lol

Terri

[Guest guest]

Hi Kea,

I can't rest too much this weekend.We've got a B-day party to go to for the

boy I baby sit... Kahoonaville(sp)? It's like an arcade I think in Carrousel

Mall. My hubby has never been in the Mall so I HAVE to go...... I'll go

shopping and stay away from all the kids though and today my head is just

pounding so the noise will drive me crazy. Lets see.... my sister is taking

her yearly shopping trip to Lancaster PA and we're dog sitting for her...

this always adds to the confusion in the house and I need to do some prep

before her dog arrives. Hubby will help out with most of these things...

move the cat pan to the top of the drier (her dog loves cat box crunchies!!

BLAH!) get the backyard ready for an extra tie out and such. I'll just have

to direct traffic

Then tonight we're baby sitting for the boy I watch during the week (the

B-day boy) his Mom never has a Saturday off and has a chance to out with a

group of her friends from school.... some she hasn't seen since graduation.

I couldn't say no... she works so dang hard.

I'll be able to sit and relax this evening though.... the boys have never

had Jiffy Pop (I can't believe I've never got it before! what kind of Mother

am I? LOL) and we have the Lord of The Rings DVD for them to watch.

Lets see..... Tomorrow hubby has an eye exam at 11am. I have to go because

they put drops in his eyes. And then grocery shopping on the way home.... I

think that's it for the weekend. I'll rest on Monday when the kids are in

school and the hubby is at work.

Terri

Yup, I agree with you Terri. I don't belong to any other

list that I would send jokes to without worrying about

the list mom slapping my hand.

Hey, is nne A.W.O.L.? I haven't seen her post

in over a week.

Re: A cute one - Our Group

You know what makes this group so great...

We can post things like this! I get so tired sometimes of OT topics on lists

that get poo hooed by list owners.

you always find good one! Thanks for making me spit coffee on my

computer screen first thing this morning!!

Terri

PS the other one really did me in.... brought a smile to my face after dealing

with a rotten child first thing this morning (he wasn't all that rotten, but I

didn't have enough coffee before he whined about not wanting to go to school

because he didn't have his homework complete grrrr

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I hope nne doesn't mind me saying that her grandmother is very ill.

She let me know because we were going to get together today so I could show

her how to make CPHP. Please keep her grandmother in your thoughts and

prayers.

RE: Important list update

Thanks and yes I was informed that everyone WILL be waiting on

Boy, I didn't even think of baby products. I guess

because I've never made any. You'd have to help me

Woo Hooo!!! Congrats Grandma!
