    Dad is in the hospital. His blood values are still low and he kept pulling the IV out. What a mess.
    They are going to scope him to see if they can figure out the source of the potential bleed causing the anemia. Good grief.

      Dottie - I'm so sorry that your Dad is still in the hospital. I had really hoped that getting the blood would help him immediately. Hang in there dear friend. :hug:

      Mama - you work your butt off! We could use another rabbit story. LOL I watched the new Netflix series 'Grace & Frankie' with Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin. They've been married to their husbands for 40 years and then their husbands told them that they wanted a divorce and were going to marry each other. I enjoyed it. Watched all of Season 1. Nothing spectacular but I was entertained.

      Liz - sorry about the rough day.

      SK - even though you're not looking for a man, it might be fun to just hang out together.

      Pauly - where are you??????

      Rusty - did you stay in Minneapolis tonight?

      I hope to see Jane & Treetops & NS back here. It's great to hear their comments.

      Has anyone heard from K9 or Sunni lately? I really need to give Sunni a call. I am neglecting everyone.

      My back is trying to do it's famous catch again so I'm going to lay down & read. (What a good excuse :harhar

      Have a great evening everyone.........

          Didn't sleep well so up early, shower and called the hospital. They were waiting on my consent to set up the test. I asked the damn doctor last night if he needed me to sign a consent but NOOOOOOOOOOO......ugh...so I gave a verbal and will head over there shortly.
          Tooth still hurts. Wonder how many Advil I can take before my stomach bleeds....I am taking everything with food.
          So if this doesn't kill me will it make me stronger or just madder all the time????
          The sun is out and it is cooler today so a least that is good....

            Morning, morning.....

            Dottie - frustrating that they didn't set up the test yet!! I sure hope that your tooth feels better right away.

            I'm at work so can't chat right now. I'll be back later. :hug:

              Test was over by the time I got there. Didnt find anything of significance. They put in a PIC line so they could finish the transfusion. I had a mini meltdown with the docs. Told them had lost my husband in February and hospitals were not a good place for me right now. They were very nice. I signed the papers that they needed and left. I am hoping they send him back to the nursing home tomorrow. The longer he is out of his element the more confused he is getting.

              Pauly where are u???
              K9 where are u????

              I need u all!!!

                            Morning all,
                            The folks at the hospital are idiots. I have called twice and they cant give me a status on dad. Soon as I finish breakfast I am heading over there to take matters into my own hands. Good Grief no wonder the health care system is such a mess.
                            No gym today just too much to do. Class tonight. I need a vacation......

                              Dottie - I'm sorry that you haven't been able to get any answers on your Dad. That is so frustrating!!

                              Getting ready to pop an AB. Was going to wait until tomorrow because I have a dentist appointment tonight. Worried about alcohol in the mouthwash but feeling fragile so going to take the chance.

                              I really wish that K9 would check in. I'm worried about her.

                              Liz - congrats on your big anniversary coming up!

                              Pauly - how are you doing?

                              Whoops - got to run. Waving to everyone - sorry that I couldn't post more. Stupid work!!

                                Got to the hospital and arranged transportation for dad back to the nursing home. Should be back there in about an hour. I will go there to make sure all is well.
                                My class is tonight and I want to make that for sure. The only fun thing I am doing right now. I just cant believe how my life has changed. I see my dad of 86 in the hospital not knowing what is going on and my husband who was vibrant and alive is not gone from me and this life forever. I just dont get it and never will. But I have to create my future one day at a time. I wont lie that the the thought of a bottle or 2 of wine would be so nice BUT it wont change anything and I will feel horrid the next day so not an option.
                                Heading to nursing home shortly.
