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.
Anyway I’m glad to hear your mom has no side effects from the vaccine! Seems like most are reacting to the 2nd shot. My dad was told he can’t get the vaccine because he is on blood thinners. Mom got the first one but is not going to get the 2nd.
My mother is doing fine today and no side effects so far. Hoping the second one is good also and thank you very much for asking. I know a few people that were quite sick after the first one and worse after the second. I am glad your husband is doing ok and only side effect was a sore arm. Thank you for updating us. Your mom is in very good hands. She will do ok.
We insured the package. We tracked it. My daughter filed the claim for it. Then the package shows up! Crazy, right?
Overall, the mail is incredibly successful in delivering packages.
Every now and then, something gets lost.
I suppose you and I are fortunate that our packages were recovered. Some never are!
My daughters like North Face jackets too.
Mom is being kept another night at the surgery center. She is shaken after the episode last night but feeling much better today. She was in pain all afternoon because the dr doesn’t want her taking the pain killers because her blood pressure is low and the pain meds make it even lower. They finally gave her something for pain late this afternoon. I was able to go see her and she looks good. She’s just feeling down because we didn’t anticipate complications and she really doesn’t want another surgery. She told the dr she does not want surgery so they put an ice pack where the blood clot is and the swelling went down a bit. Tomorrow we are going to ask the dr about removing the blood clot without putting her under.
NHWM just had a similar experience with the mail! I bought my daughter a fleece North Face pullover in early December and had it shipped to my parents house. I got a tracking number but after a week, it appeared the package wasn’t actually shipped, there was no “accepted” scan from the post office. I ended up getting a refund. Then 2 weeks ago my mom called and said I got a package delivered to her house!!! I had her open it because I haven’t ordered anything in weeks.....turns out out it was North Face pullover I ordered in December! Took over a month to get here.
It was lost. Well, today it showed up in her mail! It was her dog’s bandannas that I made and more masks that she wanted.
She has a boy dog. I wish that she had a girl dog to sew for!
I have some adorable fabric that would work for girl dog bandannas.
We have a minor setback. They got mom up to walk around last night and her vital signs crashed. Her blood pressure dropped, her oxygen went down to 40 and she felt very nauseated. She was terrier and thought she was going to die!! They got her back in bed and she started feeling better. The dr says she has a hematoma on the right side, which was the healthy breast. He may have to do another surgery. She Really doesn’t want them to put her under again :(
they have ice on the hematoma and it seems to be going away but it’s a waiting game now. Please pray she doesn’t need more surgery. Thank you!!
She says that the temperature is dropping!
It’s wonderful to hear that your mom is doing well after her surgery. What a relief!
It sounds like she is going to have a speedy recovery :) Keep us posted and enjoy relaxing with your mom ❤
Smart kitties not wanting to go out. It you cold a dry or humid cold? My folks left Minnesota partly their mom's drove them nuts and the humid cold that will cut through the body, to the bone. At least mom described it that way. UFFDA!
Have a good sleep.
Anyway surgery went well, no complications. We initially thought she couldn’t have visitors because of COVID. I got to stay with her until they took her back to the anesthesiologist which I am thankful for. I went back to the house since they said they would call when she was out of surgery. She had surgery around 1. At 3:30 the nurse called and said she could have visitors from 3-6! So I took my dad up to the surgery center and he got to see her and then I got to go in. She was sitting up in a chair eating dinner when I walked in! She looks GREAT! She isn’t in any pain. She ate dinner. Her breathing is good. I really expected worse. I thought she would be in bed and kind of out of it! It was such a relief seeing her sitting there eating! She looked so GOOD! Her color was great, she sounded great! Now I know she will be ok when I bring her home. The hard part will be the drive home. I imagine every bump in the road will hurt!
So now we wait....in about 3 days the pathology report on the cancer should be in and the dr will decide if she needs chemo or radiation where they took out the lymph node.
EaelyBird, the anxiety we feel for our moms is really something isn’t it? And I was thinking the same thing about the surgeon—he wouldn’t have recommended surgery if he didn’t think it was safe for her! That is what I wish I had reminded myself today. If it wasn’t safe and he didn’t think she would do well, he would not have done the surgery! Thank for lighting a candle. Really means a lot!
Well tomorrow morning I should be able to bring her home. it is weird being here at the house, in her “office” which is really a den...without her being in here with me!
Devices can be a pain in the butt!
Fantastic when working well, but a nuisance when they aren’t!
Sleep well.
Had to reset to factory settings, then remember all my passwords to setup my faves. Just whipped, should sleep good, though.
