    quick vent,

    i have a gf who has been upset with me for a while. yesterday it all came out and her main reason was that I didn't comment on her FB status/updates about her grandmothers stay in ICU before, during and after a surgery.

    she accused me of basically not planning to visit at the hospital and only going because her uncle emailed me as to why i had not commented on FB statuses. (He emailed me about an hour before my planned visit, so i guess they assume i was guilted into going?)

    I visited 3 other times. Her gma thankfully is doing well now.

     

    An adult had her adult uncle email another adult because of something that hadn't been commented on on FB?  That makes my head hurt.

    Ditto.  Someone needs to grow the F up.

    DH made me crabby at the pediatrician's office today.  If he said one more time "this is ridiculous" about the wait I was going to punch him.  It is a doctor's office.  You wait.  Shut the hell up.

    I agree with your DH on this one.  I told that to our pedi a few weeks ago.  I'm not paying you $100 for 5 minutes of your time and waiting for an hour.  That is just unacceptable.

    What did she say? I'm so tired of wAiting for her. I'm actually thinking of a new doc because of it

    Skirted around the issue and how they do their best to get patients seen as soon as possible.  We are trying to switch to Dr. W.  If he's full I'm going to try the other TCPA here is SC.  I'm done with hour waits at doctor's offices.  Done.

  • My cat has a thyroid/metabolism issue that pretty much makes him feel as though he is starving hungry all the freaking time.  He had a seriously bad reaction to his medicine (the cheap easy option), so in order to keep him from suffering, our other option is $1500 cat radioactive-iodine treatment.

     oh my gosh.

     

    also, my dog has to have $600 surgery next week.

     

    sweet mary.  anyone need adorable pictures of their children?

    Dear AF-

    Where the heck are you?  This isn't funny.

    No joke.  She's MIA from my house too.  I'm on CD47 (no I'm not pregnant, my last cycle was 49 days) and I'm supposed to start new pills this cycle so I'm getting a little annoyed with the wait.

    He has a tumor on his eye. An "it could be aggressive melanoma, it could be a benign tumor" thing, so they have to remove it, biopsy, and make sure they have clear margins before finishing up. It's very vascular, she took a tiny it of fluid from it this morning and he was bleeding like crazy. My poor dog is going to have half his head shaved, but hopefully he will have some eyelid left. While he's under anesthesia, he will also get his teeth cleaned. Oh and he'll have to wear the cone of shame. He is so sweet. I just hope it's not cancerous. He's only five! And also, I don't want him to have cancer : (

    Poor Freddy. Lots of positive doggie thoughts to him!

    (totally not trying to be disrespectful to Freddy and his ailment)

    The cone of shame cracks me up. Not the reasons that animals have to wear them, but just seeing them on makes me giggle. When Harwell was neutered he had his cone on and he would just put his face on the ground and stand there. He wouldn't move. Just stand there with his face on the floor. Hysterical.

    Anyways, we're moving to Singapore sometime in the first quarter.

  • HP - I'm excited and sad for you!

    I may strangle my husband.  About a month ago I came down with a cold.  I felt like crap for about two weeks, but didn't complain much until the second week when I only slept about 3 hours each night because I coughed so much.  Then DH got sick (kill me).  He got an antibiotic and finally, after 2 weeks, got better.

    Then last week he slices his heel on the garage door.  Yes, I'm sure it hurt.  But he didn't actually cut his foot off.  Then Thursday his back starts hurting.  Then Saturday his throat hurts again.  And finally Sunday during church he sighed and I asked him what was wrong and he said that he didn't want to complain (sarcastically). 

    Lord love a duck, if he comes home complaining tonight I'm going to give him something to complain about.  He won't consistently take medicine, he won't go see a doctor, and I'm sure it is all related to stress (I get that) but do something about it.

    Probably in Singapore for 6 - 12 months.  Then South Korea for 12 - 24 months.  Then we'll be moving again, probably either to Brazil, West Africa, or back to the states.

    OMG I'm sorry but this made me laugh so hard.  Seriously, what is it with men?  My DH cannot for the life of him remember which meds to take for what/when.   i.e. he'll take tylenol for back pain when everyone knows advil is better for muscle pain then complain that it's not helping.  And he can't remember which cold meds are decongestants and which ones are antihistamines and what the difference is.  One day a few weeks ago he took Benadryl at 4pm then he was "too sleepy" to help me with dinner/bath/bed and passed out on the couch instead.  No kidding moron!  You took Benadryl!!!

    I think if I had been before and knew any different it would have been WAY worse.  But the weather was so great, our house was amazing, I was with good friends and did *taste* most of the wines, it wasn't as awful.  I did have a few low points but tried not to let it ruin things.  But DH knows there WILL be a do-over and our friends want to go back and rent the same house again so I'm optimistic!

    My wine room will be very well stocked when baby arrives, that makes me very happy!
