UGH!

well if it isn't one thing it's another.  first...WHY can't they just take fluid from my leg and see EXACTLY what kind of bacteria is in there???????  the infection is now on the top of my foot!!!  i see my primary care doctor today and probably get an antibiotic change AGAIN.  I'm less dehydrated today thank god but i'm still going to the bathroom a LOT.  they have me on a generic version of Lomotil which should dry up all the liquid in my intestines and almost completely stop the bowel process so i have a chance to actually absorb things.

here's the other thing.  I talked to my mom this morning and my parents have been in the hospital all night with my grandfather.  This man has had several strokes....several bouts of pneumonia because of the strokes and is pumped full of coumadin.  Well his colon perforated last night which caused his kidneys to shut down.  They couldn't operate on him until this morning because they needed to get the coumadin out of him.  so he got a colostomy and will have the bag for the next 3 to 6 months.  i have a feeling this is his last trip to the hospital.  the next 48 hours are critical because he could have another stroke, get pneumonia or who knows what else.  i'm beside myself.

2009 SUCKS ASS right now.

Thank you all so much for your continued thoughts and prayers.  i love you all!

2009 started out with a bang. I lost my Grandpa on New Years Eve! So if you ever need someone to talk to message me on Facebook. I can totally relate to all of your stress right now.

I  you ...and hope you are feeling better soon! 

Pulling for you, A-Man.  Things will get better!  Hang in there!

I already gave you my 2 cents on LJ so here I'll just give you the hugs! Because if I have to spend the money on a plane ticket to come all the way to the EC to kick your hot ass, I am not going to be happy. When I do come out there, it's going to be shown a good time, with you healthy and us happy!

So here are your hugs, PappaBear!!!! 

Get better soon. ILY!!!

Hey Sexy Ass!

I agree with you about 2009 sucking ass right now...but we're all thinking of you and everything will be better before you know it.

big hugs and prayers to you and your family!  You have so much going on and I feel bad for you!  I hope things get better real soon!!!

Sending you good vibes!!

Sorry to hear about your grandfather!  Sucks!  Do you need to go see a new doctor who has not seen the leg before for a new perspective? Sending hugs and "get better quick" thoughts!
