Bad Weekend

Hello groupies! Hope that everyone had a good weekend.
I unfortunatly did not.  I had one of the worst migraines that I have had in a long time.  Had to make 2 trips to the ER.  On top of it all, I got dehydrated.  On the first trip there they were not able to get IV access to give me any fluids.  They stuck me 4 times, and told them that was enough.  Went home and slept for a several hours and back to the hospital.  Even more dehydrated by this time.  But, they took very good care of me, but had to get 2 liters of fluids. 
This made it so hard to take care of my Dad during all of this time. so greatful that I had my kids at home to help out.  My Dad just did not understand that I was not able to help him out like I had been.  he got very grouchy with me. 
I am glad that I am feeling better today, which is good in my book, and being able to get back to a normal routine here at home.
Keep me in your prayers!

charlotte, so sorry to hear about the migraine and the dehydration. both are dangerouos.  i'm also sorry your dad can't understand u won't always be there for him.  it must scare him a lot. i've been taking care of my dad the last 3-4 nights and days and i know how hard it is on your nerves and your body. hang in there, charlotte, i care about u. hugs, vick

Charlotte, 
What a weekend! Sometimes people we have always been there for have a hard time understanding that we sometimes need them. Sorry your weekend was crap, but it sounds like your kids really pulled through for you. Kids need a chance to be the responsible person, so in that way it was good for your family. I hope you are feeling much better!

Charlotte, I hope you are feeling much better, and things are more back to normal for you. So sorry you had such a bad weekend. Please be sure to get plenty of liquids, even if it is via jello or Sugar free popsicles. Dehydration occurs so easily for us in the early weeks. It takes a lot to get in enough, especially when we feel so ill.
I thought for sure I had made a reply here on Suinday or Monday, but I do not see it here.. thats happened a few time to me now. Wonder if its the boards, my computer, or my mind misfiring...
Hugs!
