STFU (Shut the F*** UP)

Hi kids...just checking in...chemo still sucks and its just EXHAUSTING....tired of being tired...looking for the light at end of tunnel...no Chevy....Not the bright light...tee hee

My last stay in the hospital they had a damn alarm in the bed.  If I'd get up to go to the bathroom it would start shrieking.  I asked 'em to turn it off and they said 'no you've got a fall alert?  I said "WHAT?" She pointed to my LE band that said they couldn't poke me or bp me on my left arm and said "You've got a fall alert band on."  I explained to her what it was, all the time thinking....  what good is this doing me, if they haven't taught the nurse's aides what they are for???  Husband stayed in the room with me for the rest of my stay.  (After she understood, she did turn off the stupid alarm.)  Oh where i was going with that was that hubby slept in the recliner.  He said it wasn't bad - other than the people coming and going at all hours of the night.

Phylofree YYYYAAAAYYYY it all good. U brown nose.

Garden see u'r husband told u it was comfortable--oh u had that horrible alarm it drove me crazy sometimes I'd get up just t aggevate them cuz I always had it on my recliner anyway, like at my age I could get up so easily. hahaha

Garden - that's pretty sad the aides couldn't tell a fall alert band from a LE band (they use the same bands for dialysis pts who have shunts in their forearms). We used to have to put pukey yellow nonslips socks on fall alert pts.

Phyllis - deserves your proper name today. Way to go end of evil lxempra. Celebrate.

ChickaD - Waiting for the light for you. Almost done.

Veggy so sorry, keep yourself hydrated....I hate to drink....it is easier for me to get extra fluids....when I get chemo and zometa they give me extra fluids and it has been helping me with the steroids and sleeping at night but I wonder if it is "watering down" the chemo....

I am ok week off from chemo, don't have to move, got section 8 so can stay here, just have to ttake the paperwork to relator for  them to fill out, boys are thrilled, now I don't have to get rid of my dogs....

Phillie congrats and that was very nice of you!!

DD#2 kids have lice thought it was taken care of and kids were here today and sleeping MY BED and she found  a live one, OMG....don't feel like changing the sheets, hopefully chemo will kill them out of my hair which is not that long anyway....

Sammi is beautiful.

Hope you solve the lice problem I shouldn't think they would enjoy chemohair/blood. They are so hard to get rid of. DD had same problem with her children and found combing after conditioning hair was the only way. It has become a real problem in this part of the world as well.

Hope the rest of you larrikins are behaving.

DD was telling me she had some kind of rash, she was all itchey in her hair. There are 2 nurses at her house, they checked, DD had head lice. I thought the kids brought it home from school. She said no, she had been trying on hats at Disney world! They washed Everything.

Snoring. Many many years ago went camping with a lot if DHs family, his parents too. Next to a cow pasture. Trying to go to sleep, I said to DH listen to that cow! It must be sick!!! He growled back at me it wasn't a cow, it was his MOM!



Yea Phyllis. Woooo hoooo!

Thank God, Veggy, you needed it. I bet you do better now.

Mary a larrikin and a hooligan are first cousins traditionally meant 'mischievous or frolicsome'. Refering to us lot mischievous yes but frolicsome well I am not so sure - in our minds maybe. Hooligans are a bit rougher than a larrikin.

Just about to put the sewing machine away and then I will think about starting to pack. Dh says don't worry pack on Sunday afternoon. I will repack then. I have made something for Veggy, Granny will love it hehe!

Do wish I had more time and could see more of you all. Next time because with DD in Canada I will be coming as often as I can.

There are more that I might remember someday.

Nurse Sammi is getting good training!

I go back for my 6-wk post hysterectomy check.  I think I'm doing ok.  I still don't have any energy but over all I feel fairly good.  I hadn't been sleeping very well the past few days and I think it's worry about the usual bug-a-boo, $....  Since I had to quit work last year, we've been depleating the coffers fairly fast.  Medical bills don't help either!

Here's wishing a good week for everyone - I love my BC family bunches.

Yea up, and plumber is here already......does the shit ever end........never using my jacuzzi tub made the cylinder leak........go figure....2 friggin years old......LE rule.....don't use a jacuzzi, cause you make the water too hot.........well....WTF...would you sit in luke-warm water in a hot tub........did not have cancer when we built the house 2 1/2 years ago......would have put in a gorgeous claw foot tub....and forget the jacuzzi........but they are great,,who knew cancer and LE were headed my way..............

I'm working on three separate sets of firewalls for installation.  All of are supposed to be installed before I retire.  Last night I dreamt that i gave my notice and everybody got PO'd at me, so I told them I'd come back and finish up the projects but only work 5 hours a day.  Weird dream.
