Funky Friday Roll Call

Good Morning Everyone,
I just got home from 7 hours at the emergency room.  I have a clotting disorder, and sometimes go to get checked out, having lost two brothers to blood clots in recent years.  It takes long because since I also have asthma, they must do all the bloodwork, find out I have an elevated dee-dimer, or some such thing that could indicate clots, and then do a CAT scan.  BUT, because I have asthma, I have to have an injection of some mega-steroid, and wait for an hour.  Well, then, while it should have only taken a half hour for the results, I had to wait three hours for some darn reason.  My room was freezing, and I kept moving the thermostat up.  I also was not allowed any food or drink, and I had not had supper.  Then, even though I told them I had some symptoms of a sinus infection, they did not give me any meds for the bronchitis.  I wanted to call Nurse Pam and ask her to give them some Jersey Girl stuff.   What a waste of time and $40.  

So, now, I must get up and go to my family doctor and I feel like crap, inside and out.

That is how I will spend my Friday.  No school for me.  

Hugs,
Trish  

Wow Morning....

Reason number 10657 why I hate ER's. Unfortunately they are a necessary evil! I hope your family doc does more for you than they did and you feel better soon.

Well yesterday I did make it to the grocery store so today I am going to start my cooking spree. I got the stuff for chili, spaghetti sauce, chicken noodle soup, beef stew, crockpot roast beef, baked mac and cheese. I also got a second chicken, some pork and a few other meat items. Plus a bunch of side dishes and veggies so I should be good for a while!  

Other than that, more of the same ole same ole for me. I have to make sure I remind myself to eat my bedtime snack before like midnight tonight though because I have to go for a one hour Glucose tolerance test on Saturday morning. It isn't scheduled until 1015 so I need to sleep as late as I can also so I'm not STARVING before I go!

Anyway, ya'll have a great Friday!!!!

I thought that you were on bed rest missy.....

Generally speaking, bed rest you are allowed a few hours a day of doing light activities such as cooking and what not.  It depends on the condition and the severity.  But it can't be much.  One of my friends years back was allowed to be out of bed on her feet for up to 3 hours a day, but not consecutively.  Being completely immobile in bed is *almost* just as dangerous due to the increase of possibility of blood clot formation during pregnancy.

What I am on is more "house arrest" than bed rest! As Pam said, I am allowed to take care of light household duties and things like that!

Hey a girl's gotta eat! Especially when she's pregnant! Heaven knows no one else is going to cook for me and man cannot survive on hot pockets alone!!!

Oh well that's good that you can still do things! Just take it easy!

"House arrest"

Where do you live?  I'll cook for you and deliver none the less!

LOL Pam... that's about what I did when the doctor put it to me that way!!! My High risk doc is awesome!!!

 

I have beef stew in the crockpot now and chicken noodle soup started on the stovetop. When they are done I will package em and freeze em for myself!  Get a bunch done while I can! :-)

I LOVE your new avatar!!!!  It's an adorable baby belly!  Be very proud, mama, be VERY proud!

Thanks Pam! I keep singing that song rockin the beer gut... except I changed the words to rockin the baby gut!
