Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
He says that the scan looks okay but there’s some thickening somewhere, I didn’t quite understand what he was referring to. DH has a follow up visit with his doctor.
He did release DH to go home but he has four prescriptions that I will get filled tomorrow, ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, Zofran and hydrocodone.
Thanks to everyone for talking with me. It really helped a lot.
I started thinking about all of the ER trips that I did with my mom to the same hospital as tonight. Bad memories for me.
I appreciate the advice from all of you to call the ER number on the discharge papers and to take him into the hospital.
Hugs to everyone! Many thanks for being there for me.
We just got home. I’m going to crash under a warm blanket! It was freezing in there! I’m so glad that my husband was able to come home with me.
My husband is ‘Mr. Chill.’ If he says that he doesn’t feel well, I know something is wrong. So, going to the hospital was the best thing to do.
that's eggs-actly what i just said! ❤️🙂

🐇🐇🐇 happy easter monday!

that there is sign of life from notcandoyoda!! :) :)
and from hopeforhelp22!! :) :)
❤️🙂
as warned, i myself will disappear for quite a while.
i'm eating, eating chocolate eggs. need to egg-celerate.
i only now saw what happened.
PS My hospital go bag always has a water bottle, phone charger, snacks & a big shawl type scarf. I get super cold in waiting rooms, always have. Stress is probably a factor too.
FIngers crossed for you all is OK.
Let us know about what the doc says at follow-up!
I see the meds he was prescribed. Cipro may not play well with seniors (it caused my Mom's lower legs to swell up and took a long time for it to go away; along with other problems for other seniors). So maybe have this discussion with his doctor to see if there's a concern and/or alternative. And, Zofran (for nausea) will make him very very thirsty.
Been to the ER so many times for my husband's migraines that we "know the drill" about dressing really warm and bringing chargers, water and entertainment. Wishing all the best for his recovery!
Thanks for the messages. I have to run over to Walgreens to pick up his meds in a couple of minutes. I am going to drink a cup of coffee first.
DH looks better today. He says that he is feeling better. Neither of us have ever had any infections after having surgery before. I’m very appreciative of the information from all of you.
Will talk later. Hugs to all.
I’ve taken Cipro and second Catskie62’s suggestion to use probiotics once he finishes it.
I read the comments about probiotics. My daughter that has Crohn’s disease takes those. I never have bought those.
Do they have different kinds? Are they on the isle with upset stomach stuff? I guess I can ask the pharmacist which ones to buy. Thanks.
I want one of those Navage nasal care machines. They are $99. I have horrible allergies. I wonder how they work. I’m going to ask my doctor if she thinks they are worth spending $99 on.
I'm picturing the robot from lost in space waving it's arms around and saying Warning! Danger!
Dark chocolate is my favorite!
cw,
Yes! Danger! Hahaha
My love. My nemesis. My extra 100lb.
Oh, how your seductive sweetness overwhelms my resolve. No tightness of jeans nor snugness of sweater can convince me to bid you farewell. While I detest what you’ve done to me, I cannot deny having savoured our moments together, nor that I look forward to many, many more.
to everyone:
may your day be filled with hugs, peace and of course,
chocolate.
I may regret that 🙄

He is an ophthalmologist who sort of makes fun of all medical professionals. Well, he takes a lighter look at what ‘really’ goes on in the medical field. He interviews all sorts of specialists. It’s hysterical!
I was tired and I was glad to be able to warm up too! I made a cup of hot herbal tea before I crashed.
I thought that I would be fine because I had on long sleeves. I won’t make that mistake again. I am bringing a jacket.
You know it’s cold when all of the staff had on sweaters and jackets. They are busy running around and they were cold too.
I just found the Easter half price chocolate I bought after LAST Easter. I kind of remember my cunning plan now.. to hide it & bring out in May as an extra treat!
(meaning May 2022)
Of course it is all past use by date now 😭
Evidence will be placed in the bin the night before bin collection. No point disclosing!
No! You can’t hide it from yourself! LOL 😆
Hey, when I was cleaning out my closet awhile back, I found a purse that I didn’t remember buying! Maybe it was a gift. Anyway, it was an ugly purse. I donated it! Maybe someone with bad taste will use it.
Yes, dark chocolate in small amounts aren’t high in calories and not bad for you. It’s the milk chocolate that is high in calories and not healthy. I prefer the taste of dark chocolate.
