Still alive and kickin'...
Okay I'll admit I'm bad about not going to the doctor. But I sorta pushed it too far this time.
A medical problem started last Thursday, but of course I'm the "wait and see if it goes away" type. Well it didn't go away and Monday wound up in the ER at Presbyterian Hospital of Denton. I won't go into detail other than to say that for my height and weight I should have 15 pints of blood in my system but I was down to only 7. I scared Scott pretty bad, my blood pressure and heart rate were close to the coma stage. In the ER I was faint enough that it was scaring me too, I could feel I was about to pass out and knew it was bad news if I did. Anyway they put 5 units of blood in me and I had a quick D&C surgery Monday night and came home Tuesday night.
I'm still dizzy sitting up so I'm just taking it easy living on the sofa for now. The ob-gyn has me taking Premarin. It makes your body think it's pregnant so I've been feeling nauseous, and yet the med they gave me for nausea gives me horrendous headaches so I'm not taking that one and just putting up with the nausea. Blechh
In the meantime poor Hubby is having to do EVERYTHING around the house, taking care of me, taking care of his mother who's living with us, running to get prescriptions for all of us, doing the shopping, making meals, feeding the animals, and still trying to work on car transmissions etc in the heat. He makes a good mother.
But I guess I shouldn't wait so long next time, Hubby says he'll kill me if I die on him, lol.
Speaking of dying, can you believe it takes the death of Michael Jackson for MTV to actually play MUSIC VIDEOS again?

Really scary. Glad you made it. Someone should chew you out, but I'm the same way. You just keep thinking, this can't really be serious. Very glad all is well now, take care!
Trust me, my mother chewed me out, lol. Well, maybe not "chewed out" those are strong words, but she was a little peeved anyway.
But thanks Anna
Heythere, wake up, you're not 18 any longer, I guess!! Hope you're doing better today,, scary stuff, poor hubby, now you KNOW what real love means.
I've been on a sorta hiatus, funeral in Illinois on the day my neighbors tree was being cut and fell on MY electric wires, starting a fire to my home, extensive damage but no one hurt, second time this year, ice storm in Jan, act of God, so my fault, no witness to this one but my electric wires were dropped again,telephone wires down, cable wires down but were told by tree cutting bas***** limb that fell on my wires didnt start fire. Enough complaining, just returned from 4 days at my sis in Gilmer Texas for July 4th, love Texas, may change my address when this damage has been repaired, and leave this neighborhood.
Take care, be well, blessings to you Scott.
Oh WOW JD, I'm sorry to hear about the fire, that's terrible. I sure hope things go better for you! Where would you move to? You live near your kids now, don't you?
Yes my kids live close by and are running their own lives, I spend a lot of time around Atlanta and Gilmer Tx at my sis and brother fishing, visiting and cooking (wow, I like this part). My house is getting too big anymore, may move to an apartment or smaller home.
Take care, all is better today.
