12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 8

[TanaL]

About 3 years ago I had terrible pain in my upper stomach I thought I was dying. Nothing helped, hot, cold. eating, not eating, it just kept getting worse. Finally I had to go to the emergency room and I had pancreatitis(not sure of spelling)... Of course, before the hospital told me I had this they sent me home. They gave me some pain medicine and some Flexall, a muscle relaxer and sent me home. After being home about 1 hour the phone rings, keep in mind it is now 3:00AM, I answer it and it is the Dr from the hospital who proceeds to tell me that I need to come back to the hospital to be admitted. They had released me using someone elses chart, some guy with back spasms, and I had to be admitted since I had pancratitis, thought to be caused by a gallstone.

Needless to say I was a little upset and after having the Flexall that was meant for the guy I had a hard time standing because my muscles were really relaxed!!! Anyway went in and had to have complete "belly rest" for 3 days!! Do you know that every TV show and commercial has food in it! i couldn't even have water, Just IV's.

I was like Carl for the first year. Watched everything I ate, cut out all fat and lost about 60 lbs. Well the memory of the pain has faded, like with childbirth, the reason you have more than one child, and I have gained weight and eat everything in sight!!!

Oh well.. I hope I didn't jinx myself by telling the story!!

What an amazing story Amy! I can't believe they discharged you in error. I have heard of patients getting the wrong medication but not being sent home! Thank goodness they called and admitted the mistake, and the Flexall medication didn't hurt you.

Nice Brack!!

We in the morning,
in the evening,
at supper time...

 

[TanaL]

Well I am turning in for the night... Morning will be here too soon and I have to get Sophia off to school and finish getting ready to visit St. Paul Minnesota! I will call you, Tana, once I firm my our plans for tomorrow.

yay!!!

 

[TanaL]

Joy and Tana will appriecate this...

I FINISH MY FIRST CJ CIRCLE TODAY! And it was a DIS DCL CJ, we had 8 members and we are only one month behind, woo hoo. It was a blast, I have signed up for a second DIS CJ and really find that it makes me scrap instead of thinking about or just shopping for scrapping, lol

Pj

That is great PJ!! How cool. Are there pics posted anywhere? I have never done a circle Journal but would love to see it and get some ideas!!!

Now I think even Lisa may admit that trying to work 60 hours a week and being a single parent might just make a teensy difference . . .

It is only 3 days John...and one little girl!

 

[TanaL]

Brack, your one man runoff to this pirate made me chuckle, not easy to do on a Monday morning so thank you!

 

[Jhalkias]

wow you are brave!

I took the girls to Chuck E Cheese once for a birthday party, I was alone....and OMG. They needed some kind of drug for the parents at the door. I have not heard so much screaming and carrying on in my life. I was so worn out at the end and the girls were just raring to go!

Chuck E Cheese is an evil plot to drive normal parents absolutely insane. I refuse to go there. The two times I have been there have been the worst headaches I have EVER had.

[pyramid2000]

YES!!!! Then you can go on the 12/1/07 cruise!

I think that Caroline still hasn't watched DH due to AR being delayed.

Oh don't worry about talking about it because of me. I am not very into it anymore. Got a little crazy!

Just give me my AR, Survivor, and GA and I will be happy.

 

[mum of two pirates]

Mrs Mork, I think we are heading to see the big cheese today after school. The boys want the skate shoes and I told them when they went on sale I'd get them, well in yesterdays paper they were on sale so here somes the hour and a half drive to get them.

Caroline, Did you get your package I sent?

 

[pyramid2000]

Did I read...oh....several hundred pages ago... ...that someone took the manifest and the ships layout and put people's name on thier cabin locations?

Just asking b/c I wanted to start to do that but I'm having trouble pulling a readable ships deck layout.

If someone has done that - let me know so I can cross this off my list.

THANKS!!!

I believe PJ did that!

 

[pyramid2000]

wow - the hospital that administered the wrong dose of medications on three newborns killing them, just administered a wrong dose of painkillers on an 18 year old mother to be in for an induction.

Scary!

That is scary!

 

[tynkerbell]

Well, we aren't watching any of them either - TV for me is either what Sophia is watching (Disney), or Sports.

Unfortunately, Carla has now hooked me on Heroes though . . . however, since I keep forgetting what night it is on, and when, I keep buying episodes on iTunes for my iPod - something I NEVER thought I would do - pay for TV (other than cable that is).

I am very afraid to check out Battlestar Galactica . . . one show a season is enough for me!

John1

The Sci-fi channel reruns Heroes every week. I forget which day though. I believe the first run episodes are on monday (tonight) but our DVR is full at the time it airs so DH set DVR to record the sci fi channel reruns.

 

[tynkerbell]

DH & all 3 of his brothers have had kidney stones...the youngest was the worst with surgery. He definitely doesn't stop eating chocolate...or drinking caffiene.

DH and I both have had problems with kidney stones. I didn't change a thing either except I do try to drink a lot more water.

Got it Saturday Brenda! I have the Mickey and D$. I WILL get it out today!

The key for me has been to go when they aren't busy... I can take the boys and a a friend for each and it's fine. If we go on a weekend night, we need 1 adult per child just to keep track of them and I get really creeped out thinking of all the germs on the video games!!

 

[TanaL]

my sister....drives me crazy. Somehow she thinks the whole world is supposed to revolve around HER....

She just called, got her Halloween party tickets and wants to know if I included her and her boyfriend in our dinner plans which I made like 150 days ago. That would be a no dear.

She hung up on me! Brat!

LOL, she hung up on you for not anticipating her plans 150 days ago??

 

[TanaL]

My grandmother always said, "A shot in the glass is better than one in the __s!"

Live Well - Laugh Often - Love Much

This too should be our Dis Group Motto!!!!

I like shot in the glass better than 1 in the a** for a motto!!

Cool. They will enjoy the shoes and you will enjoy the discounted price!

 

[Jhalkias]

OK

Uncle

White Flag (can you find me a smiley Becka?)

I give up.

No Sympathy from the DIS women.

Have a great Monday everyone!

Lisa - on our cruise website....precruise plans section...we are actually arriving on the 7th, MVMCP that night and staying at the Poly.

are we (anyone) meeting at the party? You'll get to meet my zany Drama Queen sister (among a few others I am sure) I think my mom and Grandma are crashing our good times as well. But my mom is staying through the 10th...so maybe some alone time out!

Let us know if you want to meet V - but make sure your phone works!
