ahhhh.....tis now open for bidness!!!!

:whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :whoo: :welcome:

:biggrin1: Aww, it all depends on one's attitude. These days my big trips are on the subway but I find them interesting. I am sure that your life is very interesting. I know nothing about hospitals and so I find 'em fascinating!

Cloe .How is your oldest daughter making out at her boyfriend's house?

Well, there heavily into playing house. They say she's working hard at school, so as long as she's safe and working hard at school, then I guess it's okay. I would prefer her to be at home, but, my options are limited.:phanvan . Thanks for asking.

It's a good thing that she is continuing to go to school. This means that you raised her right.

That is one good thing in her favour Cloe, she did not drop out of school, and she does know that you are there for her. It is always good keep on good terms, maybe not with him but with your daughter.

My husband and i never liked my oldest daughter's second husband, we had a hard time accepting him, but you know what he turned out to be okay, at least okay enough for us to tolerate him for my daughter's sake.

Things will work out for the best Cloe. Sending lots of hugs your way.:hug: :hug: :hug:

Maria:)

Cloe, that's good news, she's safe and going to school. Take what you can get!!!

*week from hell*

First of all I'm sorry I havent been around this week, I have been pretty sick. I went to hospital on Monday in pain. They diagnosed me with back pain, and sent me home with painkillers and a anti-inflammatory. I told them I didnt think it was my back, but they didnt listen. Spent the whole week in bed, with fever and chills, didnt eat anything, it was awful. Finally got in to my own doc on Friday, she went nuts. Apparrently I have a massive kidney infection and she's almost positive kidney stones as well. She said she's never seen urine so bad. So, she put me on proper meds. She couldnt believe that they mis-diagnosed me soo badly. Anyway, I'm feeling better today, thank goodness!! I was going mental, or mentalier(?). It was quite funny though, going through the hospital scene with the lapband. I had to keep explaining what it was. I forgot to mention, that when I arrived at the hospital, the pain was so bad I was throwing up. So first thing out of my mouth was 'stop the nasausa', then had to explain why. It was different, surprisingly positive actually.

So..................anybody miss me?

Yep, I missed you. By the way, I've heard that kidney stones hurt like hell!!!! My ex-husband's wife has just had one removed. She almost died from the infection it caused. On a lighter note, it sounds like a sure fire way to lose weight.

Cloe I missed you!

Wow what a scarry experience. I happy to hear you are feeling better.

Take care.

Oh wow... I was wondering what was going on with you, but figured you'd let us know when you could! I don't envy you, but I hope you're getting better!

Stupid question, but... don't you have to pee 'em out (if they're not too big)? I actually read a post from someone here (on LBT)who had the same thing, and described the exerting of the stones, and how 'something no bigger than a grain of sand' can cause so much pain comin' out."

*wags finger at Cloe* Have you been drinking enough water? Ever since I read that lady's post, and she said it was probably because she wasn't drinking enough water, I've been scared!

p.s. I missed you!

Holy smokes, Chloe, what on ordeal. A kidney infection can be dangerous so I'm glad you're getting proper care.

About your first trip to the hospital, however, I'm still reeling from that one. What the hell kind of diagnosis is "back pain"???? That's not a diagnosis. Are they all idiots in there? It's like having a nail in your head and getting a diagnosis of "headache". I see this kind of thing all the time and it drives me ballistic. (Can you tell?)

Anyway, take good care of yourself and get well quickly.

Holy crap Cloe. I'm sorry you have been so ill. What are they going to do about the stones? do you need surgerY??? Now, are you feeling better just cuz of the painkillers? or do you think you've licked the infection. My bro in law had stones, and it wasn't pleasant.

Welcome back Cloe, glad you're feeling better. I was worried about you. I'm with Devana, there's no excuse for such stupidity being misdiagnosed. Glad your family Doc was on the ball. And yes, I missed you.

You guys are are sooo swell. I am feeling much better, but weak from lying around. I still have to go for an ultrasound, but the meds are working for now.

Mandi - I really don't think I was drinking enough water. But I ABSOLUTELY will be now!!!!

Ya, I did lose 2 pounds this week, but I shoulda lose 10!!! of course.

The real dumb thing about the hospital was that I told them I think it might be my kidneys when I first got there.

of course you were missed, Cloe!!

Sorry to hear you were not well.....you will feel even better soon as the "proper" meds kick in. I had a bad kidney infection last year, so I can relate to the pain....(thankfully no stones).....the meds work wonders!! Take care though!!
