100 Days of Ghoulie power, Part II (Page 33)

She kept the watermelon down, and she has eaten some apple slices with peanut butter and that stayed down, so I hope she's over whatever it was. I had thought about food poisoning last night, but I don't think she ate anything yesterday that the rest of us didn't eat.

Good morning Ghoulies!

I'm working from home today. I am going to have to go see a doctor today. I'm pretty sure I have the pink eye, and I may have my husband's bronchitis, too. What a rough weekend.

Morning Ghoulies.

Dang Ann. That is a rough Monday after a really bumpy weekend.

It really was a rough weekend. I'm going to go see if I can get a doc appointment later this morning, or go to the ready care clinic. I'm also going to nap.

I would pack up and go to the clinic. It will be quicker and the same result AND you will have more time to nap. 

It is odd, you are the 3rd adult I know in your region with pink eye!

I am going to roust the cousin and get on with the day. She has been married since she was 18 and is just now learning to take care of herself. You know, the basics, go to bed at a reasonable time, get up, etc.

I mean, she raised kids and all, is a massage therapist (a damn good one, too) and a registered nurse. But those were avocations rather than necessities for survival. It is hard to loose a life partner that she adored AND have to deal with reality all at one time. Not to mention having to move and change status of life financially. She is reeling but is doing pretty well over all.

It is a blustery rainy (almost sleety) day here. We are doing retail therapy.

Got a call from Grandma at 8:00 this morning that Keri had a blotchy rash on her face and chest, she asked if she should send her to school, I said no. I took a quick shower and went and picked the kid up, we went to the ready care clinic.

I have pink eye and a respiratory infection. The kiddo has a viral infection which is most likely which caused the weekend of vomiting. They did a swab for strep, too.

So right in the past week we have had diagnosis for pink eye, tendonitis, bronchitis, respiratory infection, and a viral infection. Normally I would tell you that you are all welcome here anytime, but I think right now you might want to stay away.

Good Morning, Ghoulies!

Wow, Ann, your family has certainly had a rough time of it!  Hope you all get better soon!  I am glad that the knee was tendonitis and not something more severe.

Robin, I am glad that your cousin has you to help her with these adjustments.  What a tough time for all.

I have been working tons and working out very little.  Not the combo that is the most fun!

Thursday I leave for convention for four days.  I plan to get some time on the tready at the hotel.   I will spend the days in class getting my continued ed requirements done for the year.  Meanwhile, I am working pretty long days to make up for the time gone. 

Where is the convention? I hope it's someplace warm!

No such luck!  It is a couple of hours north of here.  In Tacoma, WA.  Still is always fun and a nice change of pace.

Well. Just another slap in the face. The cousin has a virus or food poisoning or something. (Hey, I ate what she did except for yesterday lunch, so it wasn't my cooking!)

She has spent the day throwing up and,.... other.

At least she is here. There is septic problems at her house and her daughter is not handling it like a big girl.

I am having another glass of wine. (Good news for Kendra, that's not on the diet plan for me)

Good morning Ghoulies!

I spent 2.5 hours in the ER with my daughter last night only to leave before we were seen.

Around 6 she started holding her belly again and was only briefly relieved of the pain when she'd vomit. I talked to my mom, who used to be a nurse, and she said it sounded almost like a bowel obstruction. We were in the ER by 7:30, we waited until 10. The hospital just built on a new "State of the Art" multi-million dollar emergency room, too bad they couldn't staff it so people were seen in a timely fashion.

They took a few people before us that came in after us. One was a guy who cut his finger between the first and second joint. Yes, I'm sure it took 2-3 stitches, but honestly it's something I'd have thrown a few steri-strips on and gone back to whatever I was doing. After 2.5 hours I went to the desk to ask and they told me it would probably be another 1.5 to 2 hour wait, it was already 10:00. I brought her home, put her to bed, and she slept through the night. I'll call the pediatrician this morning and get her seen today.

Morning Ghoulies

OK.... THAT IS IT..... I am calling a halt on the Ghoulie illnesses, it applies to them, their kith and kin.

There. hope that helps.

(My cousin is still ill, wants to go home today as planned and I may not let her).

Kendra?

What were you doing here so early this morning?

I second that motion. If she's sick, then keeping her there another day or two is probably a good idea.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, FRANK!
