Hello and back from hospital!

4 years ago

last modified: 4 years ago

Emergency trip landed me back in hospital again for almost 5 week.

Neuropathy this time with no healing results except pain meds, so I opted to come home instead of paying out of pocket as my insurance didn't cover after 21 days.

Have 24 hr care giver until I feel like I can handle the situation all by myself.,

Thanks for your thougts and prayers.

Hoss Is Back In The Hospital

Glad Hoss is home!! Could have gotten out of breathe just thinking about how scarey it can be (like panic attack but shorter) then you settle down when nothing happens & are OK. You should have blood pressure machine so you can take that & it gives heart rate Omron makes a good 1 about $70 I think. I have 1 that is plugged in wall(electric) folks each have 1 that is battery operated & they work just fine. Get kind that goes up arm. Drs. out here don't care for wrist ones. REason I suggest it is so you know his heart rate if he gets out of breath & smart to keep eye on BP so it doesn't go nuts. You would have info to tell dr. then so he could better tell what is going on. GF had to have pacemaker about month after bypass but she is only 1 I know that had to have that. Maybe I didn't explain that well above. My dad will get short of breath when his BP goes very high-like 200 on top 100 on bottom & he needs bp pill right away, he is very salt sensitive so had to cut way back on it. When the pill works in about 30-45 min. then his breathing is fine, until then he kind of tries to gulp in air. (We used to race to hospital but learned to handle it at home)WalMart has that brand of BP machine. They are easy to use just don't take for 30 min. after eating or it screws up reading.(tells you that if you read directionsLOL) Jan

Good for Amy. What a brave girl. Tell her to take advantage of all the sympathy -- milk it for all it's worth. Better living through chemistry -- right? You're a good mom. I hope she's back to normal very quickly.

Hi all, Dang, my life just needs to SLOW down. Dh is doing well but Sunday morning he woke up and it was plain to see that the depression had hit him like a ton of bricks. Mind you that is even a bit funny since he is a shrink and knew it could happen but did not think it would happen to HIM! With lots of TLC he is feeling better and the last of the site pain is better. Which is good since I am searching the calender for a good day to pencil in my breakdown ;-) Thanks for all the nice comments.. I do my best to keep up and keep moving and that is a great help with the Lupus symptoms. You know the funny part was that for years no one caught it that it was the *L* that I was dealing with. It was only after the death of one of our children that one doc started to piece things toghter. Mind you.. once all the facts were together it was pretty plain and it turns out I had been flaring since I was in about 8th grade!! .. such is life. I always figure that there are others with less than me and more hardship so I need to suck it up and get on with life and walk this earth to help others. I finked out tonight on the dinner thing and just got salads from a local deli since I was tired.. but I am still looking at new ways to eat... funny really since I have been actually DREAMING about Holandaise sauce!!!!

Leslie, I am about an hour west of Grand Island so a little jaunt for you:) My oldest is at home (5) she has preschool and is a good helper for me and can entertain herself. Also have someone coming to stay today and my mil is coming over tomorrow and after school on Wednesday my mom will come and get Rhiannon for the weekend. We haven't decided but may go for the amnio on Friday and if the baby is ready have the c-section early because of the toxemia and my blood pressure. If I can get off bed rest at 37 weeks I will go ahead and wait for the c-section. We went through this decision last year with Hayden and I told myself that if it happened again I would go with the later date, but that was because of contractions on things that could hurt the baby.
