Had a glorious start to my week. Sunday night, hubby and I went to a WWE event and had a blast. Yep, I love wrestling, even though it’s fake. Got my hubby a shirt for one of his favorite wrestlers. Yesterday was a low key day for me.

Mommie, that's a hoot. I once saw Hulk Hogan----1992--------took the son before we moved. Took a friend. They fought all the way home.

lol Been a wrestling fan since I was a kid. Got to see Ronda Rousey the other night. Who would have thought that a former UFC fighter turn wrestler! The crowd went nuts when she came out! We only go to WWE events once a year. Went with a couple of people that hubby knows from work

Absolutely Brilliant.
A neighbour on a road behind ours definitely has 2 all night blabadors. One of the side benefits of the heatwave is that having an electric fan on all night drowns out the sound of barking dogs

Mommie LOved it LOL's.
Welcome here Bella this is a 24/7 thread not just insomniacs. It evolved from the beginning when it was just for the sleepless and the Southlanders. But the Southlanders don't come much anymore.

Update on Mags. It's her request that I let you know she has decided to enter Hospice. I know that's a tough thing to read. We get a sinking feeling when we hear that.
But consider on the spectrum of people entering hospice from high functioning to end stage being very close. She is very high functioning. She doesn't want to continue Chemo. Her evaluation is that the chemo has caused many more complications and affected her quality of life more than the MBC. MBC is present, but hasn't overwhelmed the body.
None of us know the time and place that we will be called. We all have known many sisters that were in hospice for a very long time.
She sounds wonderful. She feels very strongly about her decision and is at peace with it.
Her breathing is better, but they need to determine what anticoagulant she will go home on. It's under discussion. She wants the breathing to be better managed before she leaves.
She has chosen to go home. Her home has everything in place already.
She sends her love to everyone and asks that you continue keeping her in your prayers.

Praying for her. Tell her I said Hi next time you talk to her.

Thoughts and positive vibes being sent her way Sas...only ‘spoke’ here a few times with her, really nice lady. Thanks for letting us know.
For anyone that knows Vampeyes, she just posted on the Paleo thread that she lost her beloved step father today...cancer. Keep her in your thoughts please.
Rough day. I’m not liking this disease much, not that I ever did.
Hugs to all.

Yes, please pass on our love. I can think of a number of women who went into hospice and lasted quite a while. I hope Mags has a good quality of life for time to come.

So, a bit of a rant and Mags agreed. She asked about drug to control clots. I wanted to jump through the phone and take his jugular out. He described that they would do not DO drug control. Plus, he described no control of clots. and that that PE' were a very easy way to die. It was very FAST and effectively painless. __________i HEARD HIM SAY THIS STUFF.
sHOCKING
Mags and I talked at length. Her scenario might----could have been avoided for this admission if one of her doctors would have considered DVT prevention. OOdles of docs.
I feel horrible , b/c we did lots of teaching stuff. Foot pumps, and walking.......Sad very sad, I should have recognized the lack of DVT protection. . Sad very sad. Will take years to get over. Mags has forgiven me.

Now now My Dear Ms. Sas, DON'T. Guilt is not from the Father. Don't be so hard on yourself.
What a jerk!!! That doctor! Ugh

Queenie, hope the infection is gone.
Feline, you folks have heat wave? At 20 degree Celsius? Hah! I would love to have that temperature here. It has been an infernal where I am.
Ms. Sas, DH can’t stay away too long. Just a ump in the road.
Egads,
In my case, a bowl of noodle soup.

Sas - I called this evening, but it was late on your end. Sorry I wasn't able to get back to you sooner. Tomorrow I see my MO and will get the results from my PET scan. Apartment is toooo quiet without Kirbster here, but I know he is having fun at summer camp (the trainers house). I hope to get him home by Saturday.
It is sad to hear about Mags entering hospice, but I do understand the reasons she has chosen this path. Please send her HUGS from me as well.

JUnie, it's 4:00 am late evening catch up. Happy that Kirby is having so much fun. Started Shats and Dini on Chicken. They are in heaven. Read a couple of weeks ago about real meat and the health benefit to dogs. Doing it since. Dogs are so happy. Dini is so patient. Shat's -----dances and is a funny pita when I start cutting the meat. She knows it's for her. Aldi's meats are soooo cheap. I think this is okay.

Sas, I am shocked that a doctor would say that!

Mommie, and Loverly, I was so shocked. What's even worse per Mags, he's a cancer patient.. But he is high functioning cancer patient. Just as I described Mags as being high functioning.
Look I am a cancer person . I've gotten to hate the word survivor, but yes I got through Bc, brain tumor and Thyroid cancer. Well, my husband didn't. Why? Lot's of thoughts. Who what when where why?
I heard this doc talk to Mags, and I never in 40 years, heard anything so egregious, Except for two patients.
Both were when I was a student. Each doc walked in and stood there and said to the patients you have cancer. Each patient said what does that mean? Both docs said it means that you are going to die. Both docs then walked out. It was horrible. Horrible. I still have thier faces in my memory and the talk we had after the doc left. It was totally HORRIBLE. It was the most cruel thing I'd ever seen in my life till that point and it happened within a few days. That was 1971........Horrible. Horrible. A pox on both docs, even though they both are long dead.
I was going to add a POX on Mags doc, but that would be unkind.

Her doctor should be horsewhipped! Some doctors have no beside manner! Its bad enough that Mags is deal with cancer and this complication, but to have a buttheaded doctor say that is outrageous! At least he should try some kind of treatment, mine did when I developed blood clots in both the heart and lungs. My MO put me on a blood thinner to deal with the problem and so far everything is good.

Adding my RAR to the outrage about Mags' doctor: how does he know it's fast and painless? Has someone come back from the grave to tell him so?
Loverly: yes, my infection's has gone, but the discoloration around my ankle's expanded a bit. (This is the one about which a nurse teased me, saying he'd thought it was a work-release monitoring anklet.)
0 -
Maybe after Mags' doctor dies of PE, he can come back and describe how easy it was. He should be reported.

My mother was a full assist stroke patient living in my home for 3.5 years of the 6 years she suffered her stroke. Her last two years she was in-Home Hospice care. I have direct knowledge of what medications were provided to her while she was under their care. Coumadin was the primary drug given to prevent another stroke. It was not a life saving drug...she didn’t die from her first stroke and she was on blood thinners...(she was just not at theraputic levels when she was released from the hospital following pace maker replacement surgery).
In 2010 her doctor referred her to in-Home hospice care so that she could have in-Home doctor and nurse care and not be transported to doctor’s offices in her paralyzed condition. It was a huge relief for me, for her, and her caregivers to have her medical care and pharmaceutical care coming from one source. MediCare paid for all of it.
My father had PE’s. They were extremely painful. He felt like he was having a heart attack.
It’s very upsetting to hear what this doctor had to say. Ugh...
Maybe seeking Palliative care might meet her needs at the present time..
