Haha I think me and Paul stayed up from like 12 till 5 doing a voice call, it's like a free phone call, gossiping like two oulds ones haha!

 

[mouse_chalk]

Steve's just called me from his office to tell me that his mum's in hospital with a deep vein thrombosis :expressionless

He didn't know much more at that point, so I'm waiting for him to find out more details. Apparently it's not critical, but he's still worried.

Not sure yet either if him, or both of us will end up going up there...:?

Feelin' blue. My favorite uncle has throat cancer. He hasn't eaten or drank for 3 days, so we think he's just given up. It just makes me so sad. My parents are so close to my aunt and uncle and it's very hard on them too.

I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle, Karen- I'll be thinking of you and your family :hug:



I still feel rough today. Not like, terrible, dying rough, just rough. Not right. I feel all achey and cold, but not so long ago was boiling hot. I still have a headache and feel sick. And I have a strange craving for corn on the cob, lol! :expressionless

I wish the bunnies hadn't chewed and peed on my Ikea bedspread, because I could do with curling up under it right now

Thanks for the support,Jen. My grandma died not even 2 months ago, so I'm still feeling kind of boo-hoo over that...I think it's kind of rebounding on me now that we're so concerned about Uncle.:tears2:

Maybe corn on the cob has some magic healing powers that we don't know about yet, lol. :biggrin2:

I just read your post about Steve's mom. DVT can be kinda scary, but she's in the right place to get it taken care of. I know I am probably younger than your future MIL, but I have been struggling with phlebitis...which can lead to DVT.

We're trying to take a plane flight to Southern Texas ina month and I'm a little worried about it...flyingcan be a no-no if you have DVT. So I'm trying really hard to keep the phlebitis under control!

I just spoke to Steve and his mum has been allowed to go home already- she didn't want to stay in. Apparently her leg had swelled up this morning to over 8inches bigger than the other leg. They are doing an ultrasound tomorrow but have given her the correct drugs (anti-coagulants?) in the meantime. Steve's brother is up there and lives nearby, and he says that she seems fine, so no need to go up there yet. He may or may not end up going up there, but for now she seems ok at least. Her dog's had to go to the kennels for a short holiday while she recovers though so she's not happy about that.

She flew to Australia back in April/May for a 4 week holiday which seems like the most likely cause, but that sounds like a long time for a DVT to develop!

Karen, I hope you manage to make your flight! Do you have flight socks? Walking around on the flight as well as sort of 'tapping' your feet up and down is supposed to help a lot- but walking about on a plane is easier said than done most of the time!



Also today, I finally got the appointment for the CT scan I've been waiting for since May- for this Thursday evening! Bit short notice but I'm just glad to finally have an appointment to get it out of the way...

:shock: Eight inches? ouch!!

No flight socks yet. We are flying into the 98 degree heat of Texas, so I dread asking the doctor about it. I'd rather wear my sandals and shorts. I'm hoping he will say that some really good support pantyhose will do the trick (although I will still feel like a grandmother if I have to wear them. I never knew I was so VAIN!)

Good news about the CT, hopefully it will be conclusive. I'll pray the technician does an excellent job doing the scan, and the doctor does an excellent job reading it. Hopefully it will lead to some effective treatment for yourphysical problems. I'd so love to know that you are feeling GREAT by the time your wedding rolls around!

The heat is too much!! I wish it wasn't so hot! Gahh. We are more ready for fair I just hope the bunnies will be okay. I really don't want to go to fair in this horrible heat! Dumb global warming!

I finally get my keyboard (small portable piano) today! I have been waiting for so long! I can' wait to learn to play some songs!

 

[mouse_chalk]

I know, eight inches is a LOT! She's got some back problems so is already on painkillers for those, quite strong ones, so they masked the pain of her leg somewhat until it got really bad and she went to the doctors. She's having an ultrasound today so hopefully it will be good news.

I've come to the realisation that I probably have yet another sinus infection. The front of my face feels like it's trying to break away from the rest of my face in some big angry kicking and screaming match. My ears feel like they might be about to explode and every so often all my hearing in my right ear switches off and all I can hear is a ringing noise.... :?

My face hurts all down each side, from my temples to my jaw, and no amount of painkillers are helping!


And I love my mum to bits, I really do and she does so much for me, but she turned up this afternoon out of the blue and insisted on cleaning my kitchen, living room and doing some washing. It was all based around the fact she knows I'm sick and didn't want me to have to do it, which was really nice, but the whole noise, fuss and everything just felt so overwhelming!

:hug1 Oh Jen, I understand how you feel! I've had 2 sinus surgeriesbecause of chronic sinusitis. There's just no othermiseryquite like what you're going through. I used to tellDave thatthe top ofmy head, or at least my face, was going to blow right off!I hope you can get some rest, relief, and come back on top of this. ((more hugs))

Thank you! Yuck, I can't imagine sinus surgery- just the thought of someone going in there (wherever, however) makes me shudder! I still feel freaked out about Dotty's claw up my nose the other day lol!

I just really don't want to have to go back to the doctors for MORE antibiotics. It will be the.... 6th time this year, if you include the 3 rounds for my teeth, which just really can't be good in the long run...

It feels like there are tiny little people in my head having a giant party, all wearing stilletto heels! :twitch:

I noticed the dr. didn't tell me exactly HOW he was going to surgerize my nose and sinuses...he probably figured I'd run out the door screaming! The first surgery was the hardest, as I had a deviated septum, so they had to basically take my nose "off", break the bone, and reset it. OUCH!!! I looked like Karl Malden for 3 days. The second one was easier, but still took a bit of recovery.

Defo not fun, but well worth it in the long run. I hardly have sinus infections anymore, maybe once a year when a catch a cold. So I guess, even KNOWING now about how it would be, I would still do it.

i have a sore throat

Aaaah, that made me chuckle! Thank you!


The tiny people aren't listening though lol. I think I may have to call the police AKA co-codamol to break up the party!

I've also had two surgeries for chronic sinusitis. Both times, I had polyps in all of my sinus cavities, so nothing could ever drain properly. The first surgery, I also had my deviated septum corrected, and was the most difficult. (For mine, though, the septum was just cut at a couple places, bent into the correct spot, and stitched.)

I made my doctor tell me all the details, though! I'm the kinda person who wants to know exactly what is going on.

Like WabbitMom, I hardly ever have sinus infections now, maybe once or twice a year when my allergies are especially bad. Jen, I know the saline rinse sort of freaks you out, but it helps a bunch. I canclear upan infection with a few days of saline rinses when I first notice it.

 

[Spring]

I feel like death . Checked online, and it's 26C at 12:45AM.. when I am comfortable in maybe 15-20C, really not good.. I cannot sleep in the heat because my mind just whines about how warm it is, so then I can't fall asleep until like 4! I am so impatient and grumpy in the heat too, not good for anyone!

Ate way too much food with friends and this heat is killing me, so I feel like curling up in a snow bank in Antarctica and waiting until fall comes!

Mam might be getting me a new 2 story rabbit hutch and a standard rex or a pair, Oh and getting Sappire spayed in the next few weeks!
