Orange--Oh, my dear, I cannot imagine how much your situation sucks, but I do recognize that it does, out loud and big time. I wish there was something I could say or do to make things better. Let's get you set up in a hammock with the percotini fountain on one side and the fuckitol dispenser on the other.

CynCyn--didn't get to the swimming hole yesterday, the breeze came up and it cooled off nicely, so I hit the farm stand and did some much needed grocery shopping after my appointment with the PS. Both sites are now healed, no complications, the path report said the mole was just a mole. I didn't think I was worrying about that until I realized how relieved I felt when I got the report. Hope you got a great night's sleep!

Juliet--I never realized how lucky I am until I see you southern ladies talking about gators and snakes in the water! Nothing like that up here. Yes, some snakes will swim, but none up here are venomous, just frightening. And definitely no gators! The worst I have to worry about is a charging moose mamma, and that's pretty rare! And yes, there are sharks in the Atlantic off the Maine coast, but most are only about 2 feet long and harmless to humans (except for our fingers, but if you don't put your fingers in their mouth you're ok), it's rare to run into a big one unless you are in deep water. There was an article in the local paper this am talking about how great whites can be found in the gulf of Maine, and have been sited north of here off Newfoundland. I'm thinking, duh, we get whales all the time, why not sharks? We've got seals for them to feed on, after all!

DorKable--Please don't get caught dwinking on the job! I'm sure you'll start getting the OT pretty soon, there seems to be enough work out there for that to happen. Nothing like some OT $$$ to make you feel rich!

Undy--pneumonia is a very real complication after surgery, especially when there is any pain the chest or abdomen. People don't want to take deep breaths or cough when it hurts--can you imagine that? I know that and I had to be really pushed into doing the deep breathing thing after my recon surgery. But pneumonia is worse, believe me! The bra question would be a good one for the PS--I'm surprised they didn't talk to you about that before hand. Thanks for the pretty dwinkies!

Wahine--Isn't it weird what we don't mind showing and what we do? It continues to amaze me that I don't care a whit about anyone seeing the foobs, or most of the rest of me, for that matter, but I will be sure my underwear is well hidden before anyone comes into the room. How odd is that? YIKES about your Mom! If the ED staff were doing their job right they checked her for head injury while she was there. Thank heavens for super glue, it helps things heal much better and prevents lots of infections associated with stitches. Did you know that Super Glue was originally developed as a skin sealer and then found more uses in the general market? And yes, you can use Super Glue on cuts and scrapes at home. The second skin products on the market are basically superglue that's been thinned out some so it will brush on. I hear you about the coffee, I have to have my cup or 2 no matter how hot it is. No coffee, no wakee, cranky NM. It's kind of scary riding with my Mom, too, she doesn't see speed limit signs sometimes, and is always either accelerating or braking, never anything in between. AND she just got a new car that looks more like a jet liner cockpit than a car, she hunts to find the button or whatever she wants and isn't watching the road sometimes. And she thinks I drive badly!

Beanie--you need to get blue tooth phones and use earsets--much easier and less pain than holding a phone to your ear! Sleep tight! Hooray for closing on the cabin!!!!!

Bernie--LOL!

Orange--I'm going to give you my pain management lecture, so listen close: Take the pain pills. Take them as soon as you notice the pain increasing. Research shows that people who do this actually take fewer pain pills over all, because the pills work faster and longer if taken while the pain is less intense. Yes, they may make you sleepy, but your body does most of it's healing work while you are sleeping so that is a good thing all the way around. Let people take care of you for a while. Or let the house take care of itself. I can tell you from experience that the housework will still be there when you are recovered and have the energy to deal with it. Also, being in pain stops the healing process. So waiting until the pain is severe before taking pain pills slows down your healing and creates more problems that the very low chance of addiction. Even if someone does develop a tolerance to the pain medication there are established protocols for weaning someone off the medication. AND--patients have a right to have their pain well controlled, and we get held accountable if you aren't taking the pain pills and have more pain than necessary! So for the sake of your nurses, TAKE THE PAIN PILLS!

One of the beautimous things about working from home is the ability to mute the phone durring a boring meeting and write to you all which I find much more productive. 

After today ...only 3 days left ....yeahhhhh!!! 

Kath....I sure hope your mom is ok...its so scary when elderly folks fall...glad her purse was found.

DorK.....hope  you get some OT soon...I know how much that can help.  I try to pick it up at work but it allways seems to be offered durring times Im allready scheduled for or on times Im not available.

NM...dont forget about the rare black bear. .... I just love the moose but not so much durring their rutting season. ...I  read an article about a great white off Cape Cod recently. Good luck to you on your new job endeavor I think also that you will be great at it.

Orange....Listen to NM ..she is a smart cookie and awsome at making sure we all understand our rights.

Maybe I should pay attention to my meeting now...sighhhh..

Wahine--I'm sorry the ER staff didn't check your Mom for a bunp on the head. That is standard procedure after a fall, especially if the person who fell is elderly, as in 65 or older. Still, there's very little chance there's any more damage than a bruise and a lump. Glad you got to sleep last night, and here's to sleeping well the rest of the time you are there! The mangoes sound terribly yummy, wish I could try some!

Thanks for all the good wishes, and keep me in your prayers regarding job decisions. I really would like to be able to go to church regularly again, and use ALL my skills, including the case management skills I've worked so hard to develop and not just manage admissions, deaths and crises. BUT, time will tell. . .

Good for you, doing the yard manually, NM! I am thankful we have had nice cool breezes here. Cuz I get sweaty (I mean *glistening*) when we are doing all this work too. Hope that riding mower will co-operate soonliest!!!!

Did I stumblebumble into ya, Cyn??? Well in case I did, I am handing you a ICE COLD Natty!

My mom saw the dr today after dentist, and he thinks she will be ok. BUT they were gone so long I did get worried. They need to have their final appts with their drs and not sure if we will collect their records, or what.

YOU all are prolly enjoying Pau Hana right now, but I still have 3 1/2 hrs to go, and yes....my dad is VERY prompt on it being right at 5, or earlier, never later!

So....later taters...

Those tings have a berry low likeyhood of happening. And I mean berry berry low! Great advise to have you ask yer PS about wearing a bra. I never asked at my last surgery and have to wonder if not wearing a bra contributed to the foob again drooping. I tink that tings are going to be poyfectimisimo for you. bdw, Stella sed that she wants to be with you when you have yer first real dwink, hopefully next week, ok? 

Katwink, I am glad your mom got checked out, whew. And good idea to grab their medical records if you can.
