Renai Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Seems better? Systolic still a bit high. :-/ Yeah, that bottom number though. At the stress test, it was in the 60's. I told them I'd never seen that number in my life. Except when I was pregnant. Which I'm not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Congratulations. That is pretty far along. They never took me in until 12 weeks. I'm jealous. I I had fetal monitoring 2X per week and ultrasound 2X per week (while on "bedrest.") The upside of a very high risk pregnancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Thank you for asking about sleep, AL. It is okay. Friends, I have a high school friend on my heart a lot this week. She had Hodgkins disease and beat it at about 19, but the treatments damaged her heart. About a month ago, she had two heart valve replacements and developed an infection. She is now fighting for her life. Edited May 21, 2016 by texasmama 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkW Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Korean dramas are like American soap operas, but way cheesier. Somewhere between Days of Our Lives and Telemundo. Sometimes with better budgets, and there's way more of them. The only reason I really know this is that I enjoy Anime and a streaming service I use called Crunchy Roll (a sushi reference) also streams Korean Dramas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkW Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Cool. She's got the weirdest reactions to things. Too much Crohn's Disease, too many weird drugs, drugs that didn't work and gave her bad reactions themselves. Etc. She's now on a combo regimen of low dose steroids and low dose chemotherapy drugs. Normally she's fine but weird stuff happens like what would normally be a razor bump on somebody else becomes a golf-ball sized infection on her. Sigh.

lots of little ducklings Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 If you're taking 5 kids 8 and under to CC it should definitely tire you out. Getting everyone safely across the parking lot and buckled in the car was the best part of the day back then. :lol: I feel.....validated. Thank you, Lynn! We try to snag our favorite parking space each week... It's not the closest to the church, but as I holler, "Run! You're already late for Assembly!" the bigger kids can cross the lawn (instead of the lot) to get to the front door, while I stay at the van finishing my hard-won (now cold) omelet and coffee before wrangling the babies out and taking them to nursery. Phew. Tires me just typing it. Oh! and hey... I am pm-ing you a CC question. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Friends, I have a high school friend on my heart a lot this week. She is 47, had Hodgkins disease and beat it at about 19, but the treatments damaged her heart. About a month ago, she had two heart valve replacements and developed an infection. She is now fighting for her life at Emory in Atlanta. They did another open heart surgery to remove infection, her kidneys have shut down, her blood pressure meds (too low so these are to raise it) have caused her blood not to flow to her extremities, and she will lose her left hand and maybe her feet. I am horrified and have been praying for her. I woke up looking at my left hand. I have much to be thankful for. She has a husband and a 14 year old son, whom she homeschooled for awhile. Really great lady and loved by many. She is Christian. :grouphug: Tex :grouphug: :grouphug: Tex's friend and family 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Minou the kitten is busy attacking erasers on the ends of pencils. I think she's figured out what a cat is supposed to do for school. Disrupt wherever possible! One boy has a terrible headache with the change in the weather, I think. I have one too.

It's not the closest to the church, We have a parking space for church like this - it's a spot on the street, and when dd6 was younger she used to yell, "No one stole our parking lot!" when we found it free on Sunday mornings. So it is now unofficially "our parking lot". (I guess the humor comes through more if you know that we drive a 12-passenger van, which seems large enough to require an entire parking lot.) :D 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Please - a moment of silence for my laptop that appears to have finally bitten the dust. It has been doing the "repair" for over an hour now with no signs of an actual repair. Of course the fact that I've had to hard reboot it multiple times a day for the last month did give me a clue that this day was going to come. Fortunately dd stole dh's laptop for me and knew the password so I could use it. It was necessary because I need it for school - that's my story and I'm sticking to it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
