Jean in Newcastle Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 OK - I'm going to have a mini meltdown here. I've been dealing with stuff possibly related to kidney stones for months now. I have talked to two doctors about this so I'm not keeping it a secret. One doc put me on a med. designed to help flush out kidney stones. This got better at the end of last week. And now today I'm in pain and my urine is dark. (TMI, sorry). So. . . I think I'm going to have to call my primary and see what he says. And ds has been sick for a month now and it isn't getting any better. So I need to call regarding him as well. I'm behind on paying the bills. And I'm behind in laundry. And the refrigerator needs to be cleaned out. And then there's stuff like pet care and cooking and school and. . . (The kids do help around here but I still have to coordinate everything.) So. . . I can't call the doctor yet and I don't know what my schedule is going to be, because I don't know what he's going to say that I should do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Openhearted Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 So the water pump is out in ds20's truck so he took my vehicle to work. He had to go in early and work til 10 tonight for some reason. So now I can't go to the homeschool library Easter thing. I'm not disappointed, and the twins are happy to have an egg hunt here with dd16 and her friend. So yay!!!! But now the friend from the former church is stopping by. (For an explanation, I'm sure) So there ya go. I hope you feel better soon, Junie. Maybe it's a 24 hour thing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how I usually feel when I've had cross-contamination. The first time it happened it lasted for 3 weeks. :crying: Since then, I've learned how to take care of it. Liquid diet for several days. My body needs time to heal before it can handle solid food. This happens once every few months. This might be the first time this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornblower Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 ((Jean)) I think if it were me, I'd pee in a mason jar, get in the car & be at the dr office when it opens with jar in hand saying "this needs fixing now" My kidney stone experience dragged out for many months & included a general anesthetic for stents, an epidural for more stents and finally lithotripsy. I'm so not ever wanting to do that again. It's awful so I really sympathize Jean! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Ok, I am not happy. I take this herb supplement for mood swings and stuff due to perimenopause. Ever since I entered this "phase" I had horrible mood swings and irritability and then I started taking this supplement. It has helped like nothing else. It really is a miracle pill. It's a mixture of Black cohash and St. John's Wort and vitex and some other things. Well, Amazon says they can't get it, so I went directly to the company and it's out of stock. I even tried to get a few of the individual herbs and they are out of stock. I am not happy and a little scared. What if I can't get it anymore? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Man, everybody is having a bad day. :( I'm knocking some of my projects out. Homeschooling cabinet is sorted. Paperwork has been dragged to the kitchen and I'm plowing through it. It helps that I have been blasting the best of Two Steps From Hell all morning long. It's a little easier to face Mount Papertower with epic music to keep you going. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 OK - triage nurse said that I am to come in and pee at the lab (not a mason jar, Hornblower!) and I have an appt. with my primary. As usual, my symptoms etc are not "normal" so I'm sort of dreading this. I hate having to try to make people take me seriously. Honestly, the last time I had this they did a scan just to humor me and then asked me why I wasn't writhing in pain. Maybe it's because I"m used to pain. Grr. OK - deep breath.

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Pants. And here things go from bad to worse. I have one pair of clean pants. One. And I just discovered that they have a hole in the crotch. I have to leave in 30 minutes. There is a load of clothing in the washing machine but it would take an absolute miracle to have pants dry before I leave. I really want to curl up and pull the covers over my head. (I only share this embarrassing truth here because I know that we are shielded from the entire internet.) Honestly - I am a clean and neat person. I do not go around with holes in the crotch. Honest. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) (((Jean))) Many hugs for my ITT friends. My rash thing is getting worse. It is spreading. Dh looked at it with a magnifying glass. I tore up mine and dh's bed and the bed I slept on in ds's room. We found nothing remotely resembling bugs or their feces. Critter, I treat my dog monthly for fleas without fail with a topical. I never miss even in winter. The cats got Revolution to kill ear mites a couple of months ago. They are 100% indoor and have not been around other animals in almost a year when they were last at the vet. We got fleas from the vet once, but that was almost 2 years ago and we successfully rid the house and pets of them. What is the chance we have fleas? We have had a very mild winter.

Openhearted Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) I have two pairs of pants. I bought them at a yard sale for $1 each when the twins were about a year old. I have wore them everyday. Wash, wear, etc. I was in McDonald's sparkling lot when I discovered the hole in my crotch. Thankfully I had on a sweater I tied around my waist and carried on. My mom repaired it, and I continued wearing them. Now the hole in the crotch is worse and cannot be repaired. So I feel your pain. :lol: I just reread this, and it is hysterical. :lol: Edited March 22, 2016 by Openhearted 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 MIL was upset about the late fee. MIL & SIL are arguing and SIL is cashing in a small CD to pay her equipment off which should lower her bill by $70 or more. She will not pay a fee to the bank for this. It's a win win. Except for SIL who is currently in the room with cranky MIL. Seven states away from me. :D 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The important thing is that they leave me alone so I can take a nap or regroup. Dd9 just came in and asked, "Can we start quiet time early today?

The Force is strong in you. Tex, are you allergic to cats? Or if the cat has been outside maybe it carried in pollen? :( ETA: I would take some Benadryl and see if that helps. No, both of the cats are indoor only. I'm not really allergic to cats. I will take a benadryl tonight, I think, if this is not a lot better. If you are using prevention year around I seriously doubt you have a flea infestation that would result in you being covered in bites, Tex. This is kind of my thought, as well.
