Hah hah ok Pam, and I really am not looking to debate or anyone to disagree with each other. Just curious what someone who supports him thinks. If you think it's great--that's what I want to know. I don't care if you do, just an inquisitive mind. It's so much the talk around here, but it's 100% one sided.. needed more input. And, not posting in R&R because I DON'T want to hear flaming and fussing, just wanting to hear opinions.

I'm home! What a day!

Got to the hospital about 9:30 (3.5 hour drive)--talked to Manda while I was attempting to park. Valet was full, parking garage was full, 3 parking lots roped off---security at all entrances, directing. Kinsey and I walked probably half a mile to the hosp....SERIOUSLY! I thought I was going to pee my pants before I got there.

We go in, and in minutes here comes Manda's nurse, saying she had bad news. Since home health was not going to be able to meet with us until late afternoon, since we live so far away, she had to have another dose of one of her meds--it takes 4 hours to drip in! She rushed it to 3.

So finally we leave the hosp. and the directions they gave us to the pharmacy for her infusion drugs were wrong. 3 calls later, we finally get there. The woman tells us, the meds have been pulled, they just need to label them, and it will be about 15 minutes. 45 minutes later, there is this ear splitting (and 4 year old waking) screeching sound.....it is a fire drill for the facility. So all the patients there being infused, and all the employees, and us of course have to leave! So we stand around outside, while half of them smoke---which was the only fire around. And we eventually get the meds, and there are 3 HUGE boxes of them! This is a weeks worth of PART of her meds! She takes 1 bag by gravity drip once a day, and 3 push doses. Which is a syringe that is slowly pushed into the PIC line over a 15 minute period. For each dose...so 4 of them, and then once in the morning and once at night, she has to flush the PIC line with heperin, and then saline (or maybe the other way...I dunno) Anyway EACH of these doses is preloaded into a syringe, and labeled like a Rx. So there are boxes full! They sent an IV pole, a sharps container, boxes of alcohol swabs, boxes of gloves.....TONS of waste!!!!! And then we had to go to Walgreens and get the oral meds!

She will be doing this for minimally 6 weeks!

She has to go back for a 1 day treatment at the local hospital in a month to have her PIC line changed, they are only good for a max of 6 weeks.

Finally got her home, and she is at HER house. But one of her sisters is staying with her, But home health care wanted to set her up where she would be for the infusions....and she does not want to stay here for the next 6 weeks!

She was worn out. Heck I am worn out!

But, the ear is looking better. It actually looked pretty bad today, but it is scaling badly, from the skin being so stretched, now it is peeling off, so I think after her shower it would have looked better.

Kinsey was awake the entire trip! She did not stop singing----she mixed every song she could think of!!!

She had monkeys jumping on the bus all through the town, and E I E I Ooooooooo!!!! Crazy kid!

Son is not staying at home tonight.....is causing some issues with the family. My inlaws are siding with DIL, and making it everyones business when in reality it is none of our business, it is the kids. Rick and I have chosen not to discuss it with anyone (besides each other) unless the kids come to us with it. His Mom was offended by our attitude. So the hell what!

For years DS could do no wrong in their eyes, he waited on them hand and foot, hauled their wood, took care of their garden etc. And now that he is in this position, they decide he is at fault, and are mad as hell at him.

We aren't thrilled with his actions, or timing, but we don't live in that house, and do not know what is going on.....neither do my inlaws!!

He has ask her to go to counseling with him, to a marriage counselor. Her only response was he would go, but he wouldn't listen so why bother......

yep there are lots of problems there!

Tracy, I hope your birthday cake was wonderful!!!

I too know lots about my neighbors, but learn most of it from the woman next door, she is a HUGE snoop!!

Well I am off to bed. I promise to be less self centered! I do not know how to tell you all thank you for the way you have held me up through all of this. And while we are not completely out of the woods, and surgery is yet to come, I feel such hope where I felt dispair before. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart. You are all so special to me---I consider myself so lucky to have you in my life.

Night!

Kat
