Ye old Update

I woke up and my head felt like a Basketball.  I decided to stay home with everything going on.  I tried to get some sleep but that just didn’t work for me.  Too many interruptions from cats, trash people, phones, work and home – there just is no resting!

I went to the hospital today and my partner was very surprised to see me.  The doctor stopped in close to noon and told me pretty much what I already knew.  He stopped taking his medicine for CHF and that caused fluid to start collecting in his lungs.  He lucked out as this could have also done significant damage to his heart but they found none.  They have given him medicine and flushed all of the fluid out of his lungs.  He feels better, sounds better and breathes better.  Pretty much back to a state of “normal”.  He is a damn crab ass.  The least littlest thing sets him off.  I grew tired of that and the fact that I was sick, so I left around 1 this afternoon.    The doctor was supposed to stop back in around 4 and discharge him, provided he would walk and test his body out.  It took a while but he got someone to finally help him and he did the test, all working okay!

I had plans to get something to eat when I left.  A bowl of soup sounded so good.  However,  it started to rain and I decided I didn’t want to get wet.  I came home instead.  Tried to take a nap but more interruptions.  I think I got in maybe an hour. 

I had the doctor phone in more medicine for me.  The pharmacy ran out and I couldn’t find a close pharmacy that had it in stock.  I was prepared to tough it out for a couple days but I got an e-mail after supper that told me my medicine was ready for pickup.  I headed over and got it.  The doctor said he couldn’t increase the strength but he could extend the medicine for another week.  Okay, I will take it.  I don’t think it will work but still I will take it.  If I am no better next week then they will need to switch things up and find a different drug.  In fact Thursday or Friday I may call the allergist to get a Saturday appointment to see if he can help me, depends a lot on how I feel.  I just know tomorrow morning will be hell – mornings are always the worst.  Sinus pressure – blood and junk pouring out of my nose, so not fun!

Okay so supper I went back to the Mexican place we were at last week to hopefully catch another peek at the cute guy but he wasn’t there.  I did have a nice meal though.  Considering I skipped lunch I will be having some desert here in a bit.

I had to help my brother update his resume.  I talked with my partner and now the evening is just winding down.  Nice but I am just getting ready to get started.  I will have to find a way to relax.

Oh I did go for cat food and saw the cute manager who just got his ear pierced.  He’s openly gay and looks really good.  Only draw back for me is he is a smoker.  However, it won’t stop me from looking at him.

One of the girls is chomping at the bit to get me to go upstairs.  I think she wants to watch TV with daddy.  I’m going to give in.  I need to take care of the litter boxes and then it’s off to have some desert and watch TV.  Who knows maybe I will get in to some trouble as well.

All I know is back to work tomorrow unless I feel worse.  I’m doping up tonight so hopefully that won’t be the case.  Sorry it took so long to get an update posted but it’s been one hell of a day.

I have no plans to go back to the hospital tomorrow and fully expect he will be home.  I do have to call and cancel his Foot Doctor Appointment.  Hopefully we can have supper together.  That hospital room was hotter than hell.  I complained and they brought a fan in, which helped but I am so glad I am home, can be naked and turn on the AC. 

We are at a critical point for me getting sick…. change of seasons.  It always gets me when I am working.  I am not sure why but it does.  Then there is winter and that just spells misery to me.  I am so glad I get a lot of vacation time because I think I will be using it as sick time. 

Take care and I will talk with you peeps later!  My work is backing up so tomorrow might be another one of those late posting days.  People actually seem to need me when I am not around.  Makes me wonder how in the world I would ever go on vacation if I wanted to.  Go figure!

One last thing and then I am really going, honest!  We got an update on my partners cousin.  She took a turn for the worst last week.  They stopped rehab therapy and had to do emergency surgery.  She had blood clots in her leg and lungs.  They are giving her a 50/50 shot but it really doesn’t sound good.  Her daughter seems to think that her mom is a fighter and will make it.  We don’t think so but are hoping and praying for the best.  Just in case you were wondering.  Some times there are daily updates other times we go days with no updates.  Kind of depends upon how things are going.  I know that she is back in ICU.  They put in a Gunther Tulip to help with the clots and have started her on blood thinners.  Just doesn’t sound good right now.  However, my partner made it through his stroke okay and they are related so maybe she can beat this after all.  Totally in God’s hands.  …Good night.
