Going Crazy!!

Wow! Well it has been a whirl wind around me. A couple of weeks ago my son woke up and could barley breath. He was grasping for air and trying to cry but couldn't. So we took him to the E.R. ! They said he had croup and his windpipe was trying to close . I told the doctor that he was fine when he went to bed! He didn't have anything wrong with him. They gave him breathing treatments and medication. Which helped and them they sent us home with a breathing machine. They said because my son has immune system problems that the onset of the croup would do that to him. Totally scary!! It's a very good thing that when something happens I have been trained to know what to do. Still I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone. Then on May 12 th my husband woke up with a sore stomach, which he said I must of pulled a muscle in the stomach . Or so he thought. They day went on, he did some yard work with the bobcat . The pain got worse he could not stand up straight all the rest of the day. I told him is probably was his appendix. Of course that's like talk to a brick wall. He went to bed early and around 12am he could barley move . Still he said he was fine . Saturday around 7:30 am I said you can't even walk you don't have a choice I am taking you to the E.R. ! I put him in the car and head to the hospital. They do a cat scan on the abdomen. They said the appendix was a 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Which means he need surgery soon. Another 21/2 hours go buy and finally got to have surgery by this time it was 2 pm mind you we arrived at 9:05 am !! The surgeon comes out a says his appendix was ruptured and is was very nasty he also said it had stones in it and the had to me removed because the fell out when removing the appendix. He also said they got all the infection. Who new that appendix could have stones!! I certainly never heard of it. After surgery they moved us to a room . Well there's were the night mare began. The nurse on Saturday night was great. The one we had on Sunday was a night mare. The entire day she came in one time . I mean husband had loose stool (sorry for that info) and I pressed the button to call some one down. If they would have told me the machine he was hooked up to could be unplugged I would have done that so he could make it to the bathroom. But no one came I had to find the break room and ask for help . The help I got was yeah you can unplug it . No came to change the sheet or anything I had to do it . I mean I'm sorry but when your in the medical field you should do your job. Other wise don't be a dam nurse. Because no one check on him on Sunday he got a major infection. Come Monday he had to get a tube stuck up his nose down to the stomach . It was put there to pump out the yuck. I mean I won't go in to details but I knew that something wasn't right. He finally go to come home on Wednesday evening . Now he's recovering , he's very sore and tired. Let this be a lesson to those of you who don't want to do your job or hate it . Remember the patient didn't ask to have an illness and they would like to get treated with respect to. I know some people can be hard to deal with but if you just don't want to help people find a different line of work. I will be contact the medical board on the nurse who did nothing and caused a infection .

Well there goes another week. I started making stitch markers. The one in the picture is for Breast Cancer Awareness . I found hand made glass beads. I have made about 8 different sets of stitch markers. I even did some that will do double duty. Meaning that one side can go on a size 0-6 needle and the other side can go on a size 6-10.5 needle. What do you think?? I would love to hear comments ??

In other news I have been knitting socks for my husband and man does he have a huge foot. Hopefully I can get them done this week. But first I have to get some knitting swatches done first. We our getting ready to put up some Self Striping Yarn ... I can't wait to see how the swatches come out .

All over the place

Hello world! I am just getting over a sinus infection from hell. I have never had one that produced blister in my nose and throat.. Let me tell you ladies it was not pretty on my end. In other news we put more yarn on etsy. I put up some stitch markers I made as well. I have more stitch markers to put up but my computer take forever. I wish I had cable or dsl.

On another note I am doing the weight watchers diet , let me tell you it really works. The first two weeks you feel like your starving to death. Then your stomach gets use to it and just a little bit of food fills you up. I really would rather not measure my food or cook from someone else's recipes. I love to cook( I have been doing it since about the age of 3) . The one thing on this diet I miss the most is Chinese food!!!!!!!! That is my all time favorite . If it was up to me I wouldn't be pushing so hard for this diet to work but it's doctor's orders. They say I need to get down to 105. I haven't been that weight since I had my daughter and she's 8 . But I would be happy with 125-120 at least then I would have a hole new pile of clothes ( which are in my basement ) I tell you sometimes I think doctor's are out just to get your money. I went in for an ultra sound of my gallbladder. Then they lost the results for 3.5 weeks!!! I mean that's the way my luck goes. They found my results except now they say that I have Fatty Liver Disease!!!! I mean what the heck. The real shocker is I DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL !! I am allergic to it (seriously ) I 've never been drunk or drank a beer for that matter. As my luck goes the doc say it's part of me being overweight and cholesterol being high among other things, who knew being 50 pounds over your suggest weight could be so harmful. Thanks for letting me vent.

On another note my daughter lost three teeth finally!!! They have been loose for around 8 months ( she won't let you touch them they have to fall out on there own). She is going to be a super model one day !! She so tall and skinny.. She has the attitude already . But I love her anyway. I also have a 4yr old son I will post a picture of him too. He is a little ham too.What funny is my daughter is a little social butterfly at school and my son like to ride with his daddy in his dump truck . In the trucker world he is know as the little gunner after his daddy !! There pic are above . Thanks for letting me rant and rave!!!
