Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 Just another quick update. The eggs were worse than I remember. They only stayed in my stomach for all of 5 seconds. Ever try to hurly while trying to keep you guts in place. Not very easy or comfortable. They brought a liquid diet this morning and I said " send it back " - I want eggs. I said it politely so I don't think he did anything to them (?). I guess I should have stayed with the broth. Anyway, I ate lunch two hours later and was fine. So, another step. Went over my meds today and should be out either Sun or Mon. I will finish the timeline this weekend as to how it all went down. It is not like I have to be at work on Mon....ha,ha,ha Best wishes to everyone and lets hope that more and more prayers are answered this year and the near future.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2001 Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 It will be 7 days Sunday (if I get out that day - could be Monday). I tried for Thursday but you will see why when you read my story. Of course, I was in better shape overall than most. Luckily there wasn't any cancer outside the liver and the biopsy of the liver won't be done until sometime next week. The hospital sucks but the caregivers have it worse. I had to take care of my wife after a tough surgery for three days and it just wears you out. And she was a real you know what. I told her it may be pay back time, but I haven't experienced any emotional roller coaster swings. Just got snippy when having to repeat myself because it hurt and took a lot of energy to talk. She was much worse - eye witnesses are great. I have always been sort of resilient to drugs. They gave me 4 mg of morphine on Monday (I didn't have a pump and I didn't have to take any pain meds really ever) and I was up for another 3 hours before I crashed out. Glad you're doing good. How the hell did you scarf down pizza. My belly felt like it did before surgery (extreme fullness) when I tried to eat, and that was just liquid!! But like you said, once I got up and let it " settle " I was okay. Take it easy cheeze.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2001 Report Share Posted December 4, 2001 Thanks Andi, What great news that will be, if they can pull it off. Medicare/Medicaid should pay for all the medical bills. That line about Tommy making organ donation one of his priorities caught my eye. You should of seen the letter I got from one of his aides. He was no help, that's ok I'm still trying. Barb Secretary of Health Tommy has made organ donation one of hisbiggest priorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2001 Report Share Posted December 8, 2001 , Was this an official CEREMONY? If so, I'm quite sure the school would have taped it. Don't beat yourself up. I forgot to pick up my kids this week. No... actually, it's better than that. I slept right through the end of school, and 17 (1:47 PM) minutes later when the teacher called me, I bolted out of bed. Not only that, while her voice was coming on the machine, I ran to the kids' room thinking I had left them in there all this time. When I found them " missing " , I ran to the family room, horrified, thinking they had gotten out and I slept right through it. By this point, the teacher is calling my cellphone. When they were nowhere to be seen, I thought, " Maybe Shaun couldn't wake me up and took them to school this morning! OH NO - then I haven't picked them UP!!! " And THEN I answered the phone, and as I did - - - it occured to me that I had dropped them off this morning and had taken a nap. I was late, yes, but my children were not missing, and Shaun had nothing to do with them going to school. So don't knock yourself, . Things like this happen. I expect it to happen again.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2001 Report Share Posted December 8, 2001 Hahaha, you want to hear sick? I left one somewhere in a drop-ceiling at a client location...a 8000sq' office that I was wiring for lan. I kept calling it, but it only rang 4 times and went to voicemail each time. I tried to find it for 45 minutes, and then the battery must have run out...lol. It's still there somewhere, dead battery and all.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2001 Report Share Posted December 9, 2001 I have one of the 1st cell phones issued. It's big and heavy and won't fit in any pockets. My friends think I should exchange it for the new tiny 3oz. model, but I'm afraid that if I do I'll end up lsong it or leaving it in a pocket and putting it thru the wash.

I once followed a woman home who had done that. I was honking and waving and calling out the window to her; figured if it fell off, I'd pick it up and follow her to wherever she was going. Must have terrified her though I don't think I look very frightening. I did pull up to her house and explained why she was being following by a honking, waving, calling lunatic.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2001 Report Share Posted December 11, 2001 : Thanks for writing back. You sound like you have more struggles than I, my girls basically live with their dad, so they are well taken care of. How you can manage, I dont know. Where is Waverly by the way? I am in Columbus, I dont even know which direction you are in from here. I am hoping to get a child support guideline established in the next few weeks, JD's dad and I were never married, so he has never paid child support. He has helped out a little these last couple of months since my husband left, but until then he had given me $70.00 in 2 years. I will check with our Childrens Services here, that is one I never though of, guess I always here the scary things about them. I just found out about HEAP yesterday and got an application. How long does that take usually? I got a 30 day extension due to JD's disabilities, and I am grateful, but I cant see me paying as much as they want in 30 days. I am just not going to panic until that one gets closer, maybe I can come up with something until then. I will check with what we call First Link here, they usually have several places to call that may be able to help. As far as helpful advice, you had a ton of it, so dont say you didnt have any! Thanks a million, and you hang in there too. , Columbus, OH Mom to: , 15, possible bipolar Annie, 12, so far so good! JD, 8, severe ADHD, Autism, and my reason for getting up each day!

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2001 Report Share Posted December 11, 2001 , I am sorry things are not going good for you. I don't know about over there but here I deliver the paper to and I make 2,000 a month. So maybe you can explain that to your creditors that you will make payments. But always make sure that the rent is paid so that you have a roof over your heads. Just my 2 cents and maybe I should not say anything. Lori I am a single mom of three and I know it's hard. I am having probs. keeping my electric on and phone and internet. I luckily just got help through Community Action (HEAP) and since you are working you can possibly even get help through Human Services (or Job and Family Services as it is now called here). Even some church's will pay a percentage of your electric bill to help keep it on. I'm living on child support right now which isn't much and am barely making it...but there is help out there. Just gotta look for it. But as I well know, being depressed doesn't help much when it comes to making the phone calls. I hated to pick up the phone....I hated to even get out of bed. There is hope out there...and as far as Christmas...Children Services here in Waverly, Ohio is handing out free toys...maybe you can call your local children services? I wish I could help...I wish I had some helpful advice. I am going through the same and have been for a while..it's hard...it really is..but thankfully you are in this wonderful group and I'm sure they have some wonderful advice. Hugs to you! SAHM to Cory 8, Carey 6 and Trevor 4 Hey everyone: i think i am back from wherever it was that i was before, not really sure! I got my phone disconnected first, then reconnected with a lot of crying and begging, then lost AOL connection for a few days. All I could think about the whole time, was how much I was missing everyone here, and how I would ever catch up. Well, unfortunately I dont think I can catch up, in more ways than one. I am at a real bad point of trying to decide what to do concerning JD and me. Through the last week, I have had 911 here twice, my neighbor has me on a suicide watch, JD's dad and I have been at each others throarts about his lack of involvenment, and my doc of course wants me to re-admit myself again. I know that is what needs done, but I am working every morning, delivering our local paper, and if I miss 1 more morning I am gone (I already missed 2). It is the only income I have right now, still waiting on paternity test results, setting child support hearing everything. I just dont seem to be able to get through the waiting and coping. , , in Aus. and all of the other single moms out there, I applaud you. You all are so strong and just keep going, and I think I am at the end. I know my meds arent right, I know nothing is right, I just cant make anything better. I have kind of explained to my daughters that there wouldnt be anything for Christmas this year, and they are okay, but JD is another story. He is so excited. I listen to all of you who wish so desparately that their children would get excited about gifts and my heart goes out to you. JD is just the opposite, he is so verbal now, and wants SOOOO much and I cant explain to him that by Christmas we may not even have electricity. I am trying to find organizations to help, but I am going around in circles, I call places, cant get anywhere, get depressed, dont make phone calls, get more behind, on and on and on. I just dont know how all of you do it. If you dont hear from me from a while, I have lost some source of my aol communication, either electricity, phone, or something who the heck knows! I wish all of you great, joyous holidays, I hope everyone is as well as can be. I am going to try to go into archives and catch up, hopefully I can stay out of my bed long enough to do so.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2001 Report Share Posted December 11, 2001 I work 4 hours a day. 6 days a week. The money is really nice. It has kept me in the house that Terry and I had bought together. He has to pay the mortgage. That is how much he would have to pay in child support. So that helps and I make enough to pay the other bills and food. I just find it hard right know because I am paying for a rental van that I should not be paying for. I do have to say that Terry has been good money wise, because when he left he left me with both bank accounts. He told me not to let the kids suffer and I won't. He called me last night and told me that he will be buying the stuff on the list this weekend. So I don't have to worry no more about Christmas. my oldest son asked me if I would be kind enough to have DAD here for Christmas Morning. I really have to think about this. It would be the kids first Christmas with out dad here. Any one have any advise on how to handle this. I am confussed on this one. Lori Re: Lori: Wow, 2,000 a month is fantastic!
