update on me'us

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. I seem to get here in spurts. I apologize for that. Somehow with

my WebTV I get a little tangled up navigating sometimes on line (no mouse- hafta

navigate using arrows, and it gets weird sometimes)

I do want to apologize for being SO emotional the other day when I had my

experience with getting my rings cut off. I guess I was really on overload.

LOL, I told my husband I went in expecting it to be so simple, non medical, I

was patient with the triage, I understood I was NOT in any urgent crisis

exactly....and I understood they still had to do all their normal things like

triage and my vital signs etc when they took me in.....but afterwards, I felt

like a tiny 4 year old child with great big huge wide eyes whispering in a tiny

little voice incredulosly saying " oh my goodness, that hurt me " not quite

believing what had just transpired.

I am hanging on, our life in my family tends to be one crisis after another-

maybe cuz our family is so large.....maybe cuz of our ages.....some days I get

to feeling like I am a jinx...<sigh> I can say we are survivors. :-)

My mom is coming along in her recovery from her operation, except now I am upset

becuz while she is on Decadron, a steroid, for her cancer, they rommed her with

someone and the roomate was found to have some infectious disease and at midnite

nite before last they had to quickly transfer my mom our of that room....I

wonder in hindsight why mom was not in a more um isolated situation? like

reverse isolation, perhaps- which where I worked would have been standard policy

for someone with a compromised or suppressed immune system. Plus now I am

worried for my own self, cuz I visited mom less than 24 hours before her

transfer....and mom does not know ust what roomie was dx'ed with. (see what I

mean? always some kind of crisis or mini crisis)

My finger is on the mend, LOL, the flareup that had been going on in that

specific finger is receding, moving on to whatever spot it plans to attack in me

next...the laceration looks better, and forward I go.

Thank you all for your well wishes. You are wonderful people here. :-)
