Something About Nothing..........#11

[macraven]

i tell you that toll way traffic to Ohare gets worse everytime i have to go on it!
always an accident and down to one or two lanes then.
this time it was a car crash and the car caught on fire.

try driving for 3 miles going 5 mph when you are in a hurry to drop someone off to catch a flight.
this is the main reason i try to use MKE for 90% of my flights.

while Mr Mac is gone, i'm sure the cats will be sleeping in my bed......
it's like having a little kid sleep with you, you can't get a decent sleep thinking you are going to roll over on them

lake effect snow this morning and 8 with the w/c.
but, good news is a warm up for monday, yay.

keisha, i need to google the big bopper cake.
that one i don't know.

later homies....

yeah, traffic around our airport is alot like O'Hare. I sometimes take the train, a longer ride, but at least it's consistent. Glad to hear Mr. Mac got there in time. Kitties are always fun, but I would not like them in my bed. Even the dog does not get a part of the bed.

Ok, a 5k race early this morning. Nice to run at 2 degrees above freezing, with a very cold wind that makes it feel 10 degrees colder. Made me run faster, that's for sure. Next time, I wish it was a tad warmer. That may not be for another months.

Hope all are doing well. Snow flurries for us, and a nice warm cup of tea.

LynneG ......i know you said it was cold but all i could think of is how thin you will get with all the running...

Sorry I can't play catchup with everyone but dad was taken to the hospital this am by 911. Severe dehydration and other issues again. He seems to be making this a monthly issue. They are running all types of test again plus thinks he has a small blockage again. Will post when I find out more.

 

[Lynne G]

Prayers for Bluer's Dad. Hope they figure out how to keep him healthier.

 

[macraven]

's and prayers Bluer.

keep us posted.

 

[Bluer101]

He is better because of iv fluids right now. We are still waiting for blood culture tests and fecal tests hopefully in the morning. Will post when I know more, thank you everyone. This has been nothing but a roller coaster that none of use want to ride.

 

[tink1957]

to the bluers I know it's hard to see your dad going through all he has in the last year. Hope they find out what's going on and he feels better soon.

Thanks everyone. Nothing new this morning. Hope to find out something today. We are going to get some second opinions from other doctors. This cannot keep going on monthly. My father 3 years ago weighed 265 and just 6 months ago 240 now today he is right around 160. Everyone that knows me knows I'm tall and do is my dad.

Just a quick rundown for homies that don't know the history.

3 years ago my dad age 66 goes in for his first colonoscopy. Just put it off as being pretty healthy for his age. While in procedure at the end a small mass from what they say was scar tissue from a self healed perforation. So when they noticed that along with the air pressure from the procedure it blew right open. So he woke up in extreme pain and rush to the hospital for emergency surgery.

After 4 hours we finally saw him in Icu. We were told they had to remove the whole colon due to diverticulitis and now he has an ilostomy bag. So after a almost long year with all types of infections, bag changing, etc he gets the go ahead for reversal.

So goes in for reversal and it becomes a huge nightmare again. In and out of the hospital and such. He then developed huge hernias around all his surgery areas. So after dealing with that for almost another year he then gets a green light to fix the hernia and tummy tuck due to the surgeries.

So this past August he goes in and has been in every month due to to many issues. So that's the quick version.

Hugs to the Bluers and dad........what a time of it you are all having. Hope you get some answers and a solution for dad


Trying to pick paint for kitchen today so much choice and none of them right. I do like to use Dulux paint as I find it nicer to paint with, but going to mooch around a few places tomorrow for alternatives.

Off to have a cuppa tea and I made some gluten free blueberry and coconut muffins yesterday.........only two left so DH and I will have them......DS doesnt like them as they don't have chocolate in......lol.....I did make him chocolate krispies and a flourless chocolate cake.........so he has plenty left!

Have a great week

 

[macraven]

was hoping for great news from Bluer this morning.
but, no news is not bad news.

sending hugs and prayers


hi schumi, didn't see you sneak in, it's almost 1:00 and you are getting ready to make dinner

 

[buckeev]

Poppa Bluer...still in my thoughts-n-prayers...

 

[schumigirl]

hi schumi, didn't see you sneak in, it's almost 1:00 and you are getting ready to make dinner

Dinner was lush (always think of Todd when I say that.....miss him on here) I had baked salmon, sweet potato and roasted courgette and red pepper...........they had caramelised onion sausages and mash....lovely buttery creamy mash...........looked even lusher than mine!!!

I'm nearly ready for bed now and you won't even have eaten dinner.........time difference sucks! And our clocks went forward last night so we're back to 6 hours difference!

Forgot to say.......enjoy WD tonight

 

[Lynne G]

Good night Schumi. Funny, around 4pm our time, the moon could be clearly seen high in the sky. Ahh, day light savings tine.

Bluer, sending more prayers to dear Dad. I hope they can finally find something to help him not needing hospital entry every month.

Another cool day, and Schumi most likely had a much lusher dinner than us. I feel like soup tonight, we'll see what the vote is. One kid will like It, the other may not. DH does not care, he eats what I make.
