Sorry for the no show...and two freebies!


Sorry for the no show last night....we didn't get home until late from Lacrosse.  Good news is...I'm doing great according to my doctor's.  I do have a CT next Tuesday to check on my chest - to make sure nothing is regrowing in that area...but my sodium levels are excellent....and the tumor that grew in my lung and will eventually come back alters sodium levels. So - so far so good.   We were there so late because Eric's Mom was acting strangely...and when I got over there, I knew something was wrong (me and my vast medical knowledge, lol - but hey..I was an advanced EMT for 20 years and working in a trauma ER for a long long time...so sometimes I do know what I'm talking about) - so I grabbed Eric and we went to see her nurse.   The doctor knew something was up, and wanted to be notified of any more episodes of erratic behavior.  What she was doing was talking in garbled sentences, or not finding a word she needed...or dropping sentences in the middle and changing the subject.   Her nurse immediately called it in (they hadn't witnessed this behavior as it was erratic)  and she was taken immediately to CT to scan her head, then ultra sound to check her carotid arteries....diagnosis - TIA's.  Mini strokes.   So now..she is in the neurology department...getting blood thinners and still getting her heart treated.  The good news is that her bowel obstruction corrected itself - thank God for that little miracle!  Still lots to work on...but today she is resting well, eating and....well..pooping :)  A good day for MaryDon!  We were just so wiped out after 12 hours at the hospital and 3 hours driving that we just had something to eat and went to bed.   I have TWO freebies for you tho!   Both from Anita - one is a gorgeous quick page she made with Scarborough Fair...and the other is the cluster from the quick page!     Posting early as it's new release night!  Enjoy!

  4. And what beautiful freebies they are! Thank you. Diabetes seems to overwhelm the body. If you don't keep it in check, it has a terrible effect on everything else. Sometimes a BIG scare like this forces a person to assess their health and make serious life changes. Best of luck to all of you!
