how about drinking?

Good morning, been up since 4am, in one of my weird cycles again. The house is immaculate.  By the time DH gets home (hopefully next weekend) I'll be back in sleep mode.

Sinead and the alien are progressing well.  Sinead has turned into a rabid hyena, can't wait to see what happens when mummy nesting mode kicks in.  She told me that her life is not going to change when the alien arrives.  Yeah and pigs might fly.

Sis from hell is planning to come over for 6 wks to help out.  Better start upping my meds now.  Stockpiling wine as we speak.  DH has already hidden the keys to the gun cabinet.

Good Morning BBBernie u got me on that joke, I thought the husband had 2  different names, and then the end wasnt what I expected--as usual made me laugh.

So Sinead doesn't think her life will change? Well maybe it won't. I mean if she doesn't care about ever sleeping, living a life of worry, having this tiny precious bundle depend on u 100% even when u feel like doing something else, loosing all sense of oneself into a tiny person, listening to sometimes crying that won't stop, changing diapers all the the time and finally when they start walking that totalling ends u'r sitting and possible living with throw up on u, well just a few things at first well maybe nothing will change for her. LOL

Good morning, Loungettes! TGIF!  Finally!  Gonna be another long day, but at least I can sleep in tomorrow. 

Becs--My PCP has given me that promethazine cough syrup in the past, that's what I'm going to ask for when I see her next.  Stops the cough and the gagging that it triggers.  Nice stuff!  That and a Z-pack and some prednisone and taking some time off when I feel that sick should keep me out of the ER this winter, right?  Sexting?  Really?  How brave of you! 

DorKable--I know you can do the dressing change, but you could look into getting a visiting nurse to come and help you with it if you'd rather not do it yourself.  So good to have you home and able to post more regularly, even  if you are rather under the influence, as it were!

BBBBBernie--So glad to hear Sinead and the alien are doing well.  She'll change her tune when little alien is taking up all her time and energy and sleep and energy and time and sleep. . . . Good luck with sis from he##.  Have lots of wine and lots of good drugs available!  So good DH will be home soon! 

LOL, A cute angina!  I was expecting the wife to have been referring to the Veterinarian!

Lara---Snowmegddon on SyFy--Not bad. of course I'm all meded up but it's OK

 diet pepsi, decaf. I am a good goil. 

I had a berry hard time last night and I tink I has more trouble. I swear it aint mese fault. De hospital in filthadelphia gave me de pseudomonis infection, particularry pseudomonas aeruginosa which is the variety mese contracted. I tink I told you already that it likely came from de catheter. It can be quite dangerous in a wound such as mese imbilicus. I won't even describe how nasty it is. I know I know, mese being a killjoy. Back to de wound care, last night I was berry careful to have eberting set up on a sterile surface. I went into the bathroom to do the first part of removing the old dressing and then rinsing with a saline solution to clean the area. Well when I pulled off the dressing, I pulled someting off that should not have come off, part of mese gut. I started bleeding very hard, it was squirting. I quickly applied pressure and de first time I looked, it started shooting blood again. So I got it to stop but sadly, I do not believe I was told to use the saline to soak it to pull off and I pulled off skin in my smile incisionn (hip to hip), and another small area that I have on my right boobie. 

I called the nursing agency early this morning and a nurse called back and said she would be here in 30 minutes. When I told her how my PS has been dismissing the fact that something was terribly wrong and that they were refusing to do anything for me, the nurse said that she will call the PS and tail him that I absolutely need debridement to clean out the infected areas without doing further damage to the tissue that is trying to regenerate. So keep yer fingers crossed that someone at my PS office will help. Dr. Dick Ego is on vacation so hopefully, another doctor can bix this mess. I have been pretty scared. I sort of wish I stayed off the internet as I found that in someone just out of surgery with a wound such as that in my naval, the infection can be deadly. Please pray that I can beat this infection as it is antibiotic resistant and takes time to get the right ones. I came home with only one although they were pumping me up with several at the Hotel Kennedy (dat wat I call de hospital cuz I was given so much love and respect). And it was THEIR doctor that found this infection. My assholedicktor was bashing doctors from NJ but he gonna have to answer to the Pa Medical Board.  NM, can you  hailp me with this? 

Oh so much more to tail but I heard Cammie having a lampshade partay. waiting on dat UFO. 

ps, lost half of what I wrote here, did have some in my clipboard but well enough cuz I went on a cursing rant about my PS and how his name should be Dr Dickstain. he gonna bese one sorry SOB> Dis goil taking him down. My sisters want me to sue, too much stress to possibly lose. I jest can't do it. I talk about it but think it would be too much on me emotionally. And my only loss is more pain and suffering and damaged outcome. Tings did look bootiful when I came out of de hospital but went down hill super fast, within two days, things got worse.And sadly, at four weeks out, I am in worse shape then the day I was discharged after de procedure. If you goils can help me bash him, PM me and i will give a name. I have done this to my PS here in NJ (the first one) and for a few other friends whom are now in witness portection. tehehe. again, sorry so grim. Dis has been DE hardest time of my life emotionally and physically. The BMX was easy compared to dis. ok, brb, gotta smoosh some pills and snort dem. snort dem, hehe, I hear that kids actually do this with the meds I am taking. so I wish I did not lose the deep part of my theries on why I keep failling......only had one successful surgery which got f'd up after the second revision, dat was in december when I had the right implant out. Mese was titless for EIGHT months. well not really, I had de unafoober.  

Good morning Juliet.

Dorty see if you can find out if any one else has had a case against Dr should be put up against a wall and shot. Right now concentrate on healing and then go get the B******.

Where is Wahine.

Here's to a good weekend to all.

Oh Bernie u'r to much.

Becs how sad Annie felt that way--well she probably didn't really feel like that but maybe it was bad timing cuz something was going on. U know how much fun and how she loves u-but sometimes kids just have a comfort zone for that time and that's all it is. Is she with u now? I hope so. And besides u haven't seen u'r DH and don't always feel good and tired so u have lots going on.

Good Saturday Morning, Loungettes!  Supposed to be nice today, rainy tomorrow.  Gotta get all the laundry done today if I can!

Oooh, wouldn't I like to find him in my shower!

BBBBBernie--LOL! 

ORLA--Partay!  Partay!  Partay!  Partay!  Partay!  Partay!  Partay!  Partay!  Partay! 

LOL,  the things men will make love to!

Yeah, Aunty Acid, I can too! 

SyFy has some good stuff on, sometimes.  Sometimes It's so funky it's funny when it's supposed to be scary, though!

Becs--children can be hard on the heart, can't they?  Glad your Dad was found, your life is indeed very odd, I must admit!

DorKable--Yes, I will help you with making sure the dickhead doc gets what's coming to him, but not until AFTER you are more healed.  You have 2 years to file for malpractice, so we aren't going to waste any energy on that right now.  You need your energy for healing and taking care of yourself, the other stuff can wait until you are in better shape and can afford to spend the energy on other stuff.  First--you were not told to wet the dressing before taking it off because the wet gauze is supposed to dry into the dead tissue and pull it off when you take the gauze off, it's a form of debridement.  It's a poor form of debridement because it also damages good tissue, but it's a favorite of surgeons everywhere.  Your agency nurse will help you with this part and with your PS.  We know how to get things taken care of.    Second--while infections in the belly button area CAN be fatal, you are getting treatment, so you are not in the category of people who die from umbilical infections.  That is a small group of people who do not seek treatment for much too long, and usually have other health issues like drug addiction, malnutrition, poor hygiene.    So please stop spending energy worrying about that.  Third--You have been through a huge surgery, which is a huge stress on the body, and you are having a predictable emotional reaction.  You feel like the bottom of the barrel and it's hard and frightening and frustrating.  Been there, know what it’s like.  Keep taking the pills, and keep repeating to yourself it will get better, because it will.  I had dead belly button tissue and 6 inches of "unzipped" smile incision.  But I survived and you will to. Four to six weeks out is the hardest time emotionally after DIEP surgery.  You are in this phase, and it's ok.  It WILL get better.   Fourth--while you have told us about the belly button and the smiley incision, you haven't mentioned any problems with the new girls.  So take a look at them.  Are they pretty?  I bet they are.  Do you look good in a blouse there?  I bet you do.  The rest will clear up eventually, but this part will be with you forever.  You WILL get through this, you WILL be fine, and you WILL have a nice body again. 

Juliet--Tunisia?  Looks wonderful!  Can I hide in your suitcase?  I promise I'll sleep in the beach and never come near you until it's time to crawl in the suitcase to come home!  Don't you love how the powers that be assume that every fall or injury is preventable?  Pretty soon we won't allow patients to stand up without 2 assist just in case!  Did the patient survive the code?  Seems to me that would be the bigger issue, but what do I know? 

BBBBBernie--What a marooon! LOL!

Cammy--good point about kids and comfort zones.  Sometimes they just don't like change at the moment, too.
