Iron Transfusion

 

Iron Transfusion was a GO yesterday! NOT allergic to it!!! Will be interesting to see what Iron jumps to on Thursdays Blood work - was down to a 3 the day of Surgery!! Oh and NO ONE has waited on me hand and foot.. meany heads!! Port site still very sore but down to 1/2-1 vicodine every 4-6 hours.

I understand the not being able to sleep - I have had no more than 8 hours TOTAL since surgery on Wednesday!!! Not sure if it is the pain - the meds - or the continuing whirling of the mind that will not let me sleep- what ever the reason it needs to STOP and soon!! Once can not function on this little sleep - I am MRS. CRANKY PANTS!!! Home work is suffering - I appreciate my mom being here to help me but she needs to go home - which she is doing today!! (Trece understands this!!) Handsome Man (my husband Allen) has taken time off of work (which we can NOT afford) and I appreciate him being here with me as well - but he needs to go back to work as we need the money- stress stress stress - As much as I miss him when he is gone and I know I will be *****ing as soon as he is back on the road that I miss him... I am rambling... the lack of sleep.... 

I hope everyone has a great day - I am going to try to

Hugs to all!

Hey Phyllis, Hope things improve quickly for you.  This is the first my head has bee semi clear since surgery.  Lovely pain meds when you need them.

Take care.  Hugs, Kathy

Hey Phyl... Glad the transfusion went well for you. I hope the pain improves quickly. I am also glad your mother has granted your wish to go home. Just adding to your stress level I am sure! Now, if you can just convince hubby to get that money coming in again.
Take it easy on yourself, and get better very soon! You are in my heart!
Hugs!

sure hope this iron deal works great for u.  i also hope u start getting some sleep, i know how crappy that is.  hang in there and just level with your hubby that u need some alone time.  at least that is what i picked up on. good luck to you. vick

Take care of yourself. sure hope this help you feel alot better when it is said and done.  try to get plenty of rest.

So glad it went well for you, what a relief I'll bet!  Let us know what your numbers are when you find out. I hope it does the trick! Try to rest even if sleep eludes you...
Hugs,

Thanks guys!! Hubby and I had a long talk - he will not be going back to work for the company he is driving for - he will take one more load to get the truck back to them, I will go pick him up and he will be looking for work here at home (which he has already started doing) - I am NOT happy about it - but I can not "make" him live in an 8 x 8 box 24 days a month either - he said with my health issues he feels helpless if anything should happen, as he would not be able to be here for me- understandable - He said all the "right" things about not wanting to drive over the road - just wish he had another job lined up to start right away.  

I am a sap when it comes to my husband - I am head over heals in love with him - I hate that he is gone all the time - so YES I love the idea that he will be home again - hate the idea we will struggle once again until we have money coming in - not so much that I needed ME time - just the stress over no money coming in - compound that level of stress with mom being here (Trece you do understand i KNOW you do.. she is much better when she remembers her meds.. LOL) and lack of sleep and it has been a week from hell - BUT I think the talk with Hubby helped cuz I slept ALL NIGHT LONG!!! Did not even wake up for pain meds - took 1/2 vicodine first thing with my coffee, but was not in god awful pain though!!

Ok so I am rambling once again! Hope everyone has a great day! 

Hugs

Yep Phyl...I do remember and understand how having your Mom around could have a really negative impact on your life. She likely never meant to be that way, but ... yeah....I do remember.

I'm glad to hear you slept better. rest is important in getting your health back in check. I know you are thrilled too that hubby will be home, but I know too that you will face some tough financial times for a while.  I will keep you guys in my prayers for something to come along quickly for him, that will pay enough for you guys to live without constant struggle.
Are you feeling any difference yet since the iron infusion?

Go ahead... ramble.. keeps things interesting around here...lol
hugs!

LOL I do tend to ramble from time to time - I can not feel any improvement at this time - thinking it might be the pain meds as they make me loopy - broke down and took 1/2 one 15 min ago - first one since 2am!! Makin tater salad, baked beans and burgers sorta put some extra strain on my shoulder/chest so it is a bit painful at the moment....

Hugs
