aww Nikki you are sure going through a lot, I am so sorry, am keeping you in my prayers. I know how much pain that leakage is causing you as my niece, which I told you about, is going through the same problem. She had an appt. the other day at Jefferson Hosp in Philly and I don't know yet if they did a blood patch or were able to fix her up either. I feel awful for both of you!
I know how you feel about your kid neglecting your farm. I hired a farm hand, otherwise known as Farmer Kelly and I got on last night and all my raspberries had withered. You just can't get good help these days! 
How is she doing now? Did she ultimately get the blood patch? That is such a painful procedure, I hope they got it stopped without having to go that route. With me, since I had one that didn't work before, they didn't do that for me. They put some stitches in the dura (outside covering of the spinal cord) in the hopes that it would stay closed. And they stitched my side back together. Apparently all the CSF kind of dammed up where they stitched and glued my back together so many times, that it just took the route that the shunt which was in there previously took. Which is why it was coming out my side.
I learned not to plant raspberries unless I was sure I could get online to take care of them. They're ready so quickly.
Glad they admitted you though it isn't what you wanted to do, but it was a necessary evil. I hope the surgery did it for you. Iknow I am behind with my posts but haven't been on.
As you know I am in MS visiting Bryan and we've been running around. I put an application in at Levi Strauss and applied for two others online. There isn't much in the way of jobs here so for now will be staying in LA. I don't know how it will work if Levi Strauss calls me for an interview. I can't just say ok, be there tomorrow since I'm in LA. I am hoping they'll agree to a phone interview and then if I pass that and am considered, will try to make another long weekend and come back to interview in person.
I hope so too Nikki! Been praying for you every day!
So now you'll be able to get us all discounts on Levis? Right?
Glad you are keeping the flu contained but if you are going to get it, get it now and get it over with. I do hope your MIL will be okay, I'd hate for her to get it full blown! This is some nasty stuff for sure!
I am on Farmville and I was frustrated not being able to see my entire farm but figured out I could click the little magnifying glass with the minus (-) sign on it and make it smaller until I could see the layout of the entire farm.
Tell Roxy to send me a neighbor request, I'd be happy to be her neighbor!

Yay for over 1,000 posts. Way to go Mike!
You know that you can use your mouse wheel or the little scrollie thing on the laptop to zoom in and out too, right?

I am so sorry you have to have more brain surgery. That sucks. I wish it was May and I was up in PA so I could help you in some way! This just isn't right!
I would get an attorney and sue the butt off that Dr. He has put you through so much because of putting that catheter in wrong! You have proof he screwed it up because of all your emergency room visits for pain and addtional surgerys and the pain and suffering, etc. When I got done with him, he'd never touch another person and do this to them!
My prayers are with you girl! 
I think his time may be coming. I'm letting my sister handle it though. At least finding a lawyer anyway. You would think with her being a lawyer she would know what she's doing.
Oh, and as far as proof goes, I have my medical records, yes. But the ones from him are incorrect. Him saying that I "stated I was feeling better" when I did not. Or if I did, it was only because I had been laying down for five days. When you have low CSF pressure, the longer you lay down, the better you're going to feel. The records are so wrong, it's pathetic.
I did it too, you and Michele aren't alone, lol. My first thought was oh no another foreign doctor that you can't pronounce their name and then I looked again,
and figured it out.
Lol, sorry about that.
Elizabeth got her first tooth today!
Cool!
Yeah they really are. Bummer that Joe is such a rusher. I think I would refuse to take him shopping with me ever if Chris was like that

yeah Twitter is kinda freaky.
Thanks girl. We did go and see the Toy Story double feature yesterday but Chris feels worse today so I didn't do anything except go to CVS to get him more NyQuil and some McDoodles for dinner.
Well no wonder he's sick. He's eating McDoodles!
Hey all
Took Trent to get his flu shot today
We were in and out quick, but he was not happy
Afterwards, we went to walgreen to get some dollar candy to take to the movies
THen we went and saw Toy Story Double Feature
So awesome!!!!
Trent was really good and sat still and only took off his glasses a couple of times
Wow, I totally forgot those were in 3D. Might have to take the kids this weekend.
Glad Trent did okay with the shot.
what?? I was so confused by this, At first I was trying to find out what curse words those were and why your user CP would have so many.
Well, this is me we're talking about. But I try to contain my swearing to other places.
Hey all.....hope everyone is doing well...havent been here for about 2 weeks.......just so busy........lots going on here......final touches on the house I am flipping.....should be on the market this weekend...
final touches on my basement......hooked up the surround sound system late last night...have a 50" plasma on the wall!!........My stepson came downstairs last night and said " I am never going to leave this basement".......it made me feel good!!!!! I'm going to take some photos and will post them here.....
Bad news...my DS16 moved out on me.....its killing me.......He is driving now and I have been contacted by the police about his driving several times.....so I have taken his car and cell phone away several times......A few weeks back I was called by the school police officer (yes they have a city cop at the school all day, every day) he was at some kids house trying to get in a fight with him.....the school had them both in the office for 45 minutes talking it out.....so I took the car and cell phone away again......the next day I came home from work and he left his house key and car keys on the counter....cleared his bedroom out......moved to his moms.....Of course my ex told me she wouldnt take his car or phone away...said I was using those things as a tool.........D A M N straight skippy.....those things are priveleges........Well, found out this week they went out and bought him a car.....got him a cell.........nice huh?? I am furious......my son wont even talk to me, always is "out" when I call.......I found out he his failing trig. in school.......his mom says "some kids just arent good at math".....so I guess he doesnt even have to try......just fail at it......

Sorry to dump all this on you all.......just venting.....hurting........
Enjoy those kids while they are young!!!!!!!
I need my disney trip where everything is good and innocent!!!!
BTW:
YOU LADIES ROCK!!!!
You know how awful I feel for you. BTDT, ya know? What, if anything, does the court system have to say about all this? I'm sure anyone that knows your son can put two and two together. I mean, you wouldn't let this go on, and now that he's living with her he's a hot mess. My heart just breaks for you. You definitely deserve your trip.
Poor Trent but glad the shot was fast. And what a treat getting to go see the Toy Story double feature afterwords. Glad he was well behaved for it. We had a cranky baby in our theater.
Cranky babies drive me nuts. I understand that it is a movie for kids, but if it's distracting other people, take the out for a couple minutes. Sometimes ya just want to slap the parents.
Any word from Nikki? Is she still in the hospital?
Nope, I got home at about 3 a.m. last night.
Thanks for all the positive feedback ladies........I appreciate it more than you will know.......
I text my son every day, just tell him I love him......he doesnt reply.....oh well, I can only do so much........
If any of you are looking at rental cars for the upcoming trip.....Alamo has dropped prices finally.......I can give you codes if you need them..........
REMEMBER UJ RULE #1- Rent a freakin car already!!!!

Wish I could text mine. But you know how that is.
Agree with you on the renting a car thing. Disney transportation sucks.
Hi Chele! You are right... hopefully she is sleeping somewhere!
I haven't changed resorts yet. I guess I'm getting close enough to start calling. I HAVE to get OUT of Sports! Did you get your night added?
Gramma Otis is joining us at the MK.... that is all I know. Don't know if she is coming over the night before or what. You know her, she won't decide until right before cuz that is the way she rolls.
I so wish I was sleeping. But that's a whole other (ranting) post all by itself.
I totally suck
I texted her I think it was yesterday and she said she was being released.
I hope she is still home...
You can text her..If she asleep, am sure it on vibrate
Hey UJ
He still needs to hear that, even if he acts like he does not care. I am sure he will come around
Hey......I like the bus smell, remember
Hah, I just turned my phone on not too long ago. Have to set my alarm for it to wake me up in the morning. I'm home, so I have to get the kids ready for school. And my phone alarm is the ONLY thing that wakes me up. I should put it on the alarm only setting, but rarely do.
Bus smell...you really are a nut!
