Someone bumped an old thread that Samadhi posted in, and it made me realize his last sig was "And he lived happily ever after. Except for the dieing at the end and the heartbreak in between."

My beloved home state is sinking deeper and deeper into derp.
Kansas will fix itself as it always does, but I think it's going to take a couple decades and a lot of people are going to suffer. |

Some peoples status update things on facebook over Thatchers death.
sure you might not have liked her, you may have hated her, but at the end of the day an old woman has died and her family are grieving. |

So sorry RSA.
For me it was today's visit to my father. Once a razor-sharp mind (he was correspondence chess champion of the Netherlands in the nineties and a successful manager), now his age (85) and 15+ years of Parkinson are taking their toll mentally. He gets confused by the most simple tasks. Fortunately he still recognizes everyone.
Reminds me of an old and wise saying: everybody wants to grow old, nobody wants to be old. |

| Toothache. Had it more than a week. Dental insurance doesn't kick in for another month yet. Pain keeps me awake at night. Probably gonna have to buckle in and go see the dentist anyway. |

Doesn't it just feel spectacular when you get to the other side? When I get to that shaky-but-done feeling, I feel like I just won a hard-fought battle.
I hope things do continue to improve for you. |

I started to feel slightly ill last Monday so I go some Dayquil and suck it up. By Tuesday I have a low grade fever, Thursday night I am shaking so hard I can hardly breath, Friday I get the bright idea to suck up the bill and go to the DR. half an hour be for they close. Time loses all meaning when you only get two hour stints of sleep and wake. Saturday I have a friend drive me into Urgent Care. Fever is a yes, but there is nothing else. Even the runny nose at the beginning seems to have gone. It is probably a virus and with out any other symptoms to check on(and with out insurance in the Urgent care) Doc suggests that if the fever doesn't subside by Monday to check in with my regular Doctor. Test are expensive and I would rather not be stabbing in the dark with a Dr. that doesn't know me, especially if it is a virus that I will just have to wait out. Nothing but worse on Sunday. Monday the Doctor decides to do some chest x-rays and a urine test. Low and behold, it is a sever kidney infection which explained why my back hurt so bad.
Being sick sucks, but what is worse are all the things I couldn't get done that will have significant consequences. Bills won't get paid, assignments didn't get turned in, my students didn't get the quality of instruction they deserve, I missed my son's conference and Thanksgiving is at our house... 18 people in 2 days.
There are bright lights, my husband has stayed supportive (mostly, he issued a no wining rule the first day, for me and the kids). a friend took the kid one day and my mom took them this week, and than goodness it isn't something they can catch. And the girls are coming to help with the house. No telling what will happen with the money. |

That cough is no joke.
I'm still recovering, but I'm passed the coughing until passing out, or coughing until stomach contents are cleared.. or.. in the most scary of circumstances the combination of the two.
Stuff like that killed Jimi Hendrix and Bon Scott.
Anyhow. Recovering. |

From the been there done that table (My IUD baby is a great blessing that came with lots of stress )
Get a home pregnancy test and find out, a good one can detect the hormones 5 days Before a missed period, the cheep king from the dollar store is closer to 2 weeks after. but save yourself the stress and just find out.
Even if she is, if she is likely to be more than 4 weeks along and isn't in pain it is unlikely to be ectopic. That is the biggest hazard with the IUD. With luck, if she is pregnant it has implaned high in the uterus or the IUD has dropped down (causing it to be less effective). Early detection is key either way. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers. |

Not so much "miserable," but a little stressed.
My wife may be missing her period. Right now we both know it is late, but she is unsure of how far into August her last one went. We're totally fine with having a baby (we aren't exactly in the financial situation we would like, but we can roll with those punches), but the problem is she has an IUD. If she is pregnant, that could cause complications whether it stays in or is removed in the near future. I think that's really what is stressing me out. I don't want my wife to be harmed by it, and I don't want to jeopardize the potential life of the child either.
It's just weighing on me. She's going to the doctor Saturday, but there are just so many unknowns and situations running through my head. I already can't sleep. This could be a long few days. |

Yeah, our GP hadn't mentioned it either. I think it is getting a lot of attention because of the number of cases. THere has been a dramatic increase in the last 3 years. I wonder if it is a new recomendation based on this new epidemic.
Docters, like in so many other professionals have to try to keep up with many changes to thier practice all the time. |

Oh he was miserable, sleep at an angle an drink as many liquids as you can. |
I had the same GP for the past 40 years, with regular 18 month checkups.. but, no mention of dTap that I apparently should have had 17 years ago..
Now I'm worried about what else I can catch. |

Did you get your adult pertussis booster? It's the "p" in dTap.
And please, for the love of God, stay away from children, the elderly, and the compromised while you're sick and infectious.
Get well soon! |

| Did you contract this because you were around some kid? You're old enough and your reaction against the anti-vax movement suggests you were probably vaccinated at some point, so I'm not sure how else you could have gotten it. |

Oy, two posts from me in five days, things are not going well.
Flew back one way to NY on Delta. Hopefully for the last godforsaken time. The whole trip reminded me of how I just hate airports. Full body scan, patdown, metal detector rigamarole, sitting in the same spot for about five hours, nothing to eat on the plane (long story) except a steady diet of salted nuts and coca cola, landed the flight in JFK early (one upside), followed a painfully long and winding path to baggage claim, only to get a call and find out some one accidentally put my baggage on the wrong flight. Took the air train and the subway home only to be too late to get the express and roll down every local stop. Huge pain in the bum, but home now at 2:10 in the morning. Good thing I don't have anything to get up for.
Maybe next week will be better...
EDIT: And yes "things could be worse". It's just so darned hard to hold onto that mantra when it seems like everything that could go wrong does. The plane could have crashed, then I wouldn't have to live to bitch. |

Guy at my school today came to ask for my cell phone. Said his step-dad had kicked him out and he needed to call to plea to get back in. Said he hadn't eaten in two days. He also said that he was looking for a $38 bus ticket to get to Philly to maybe see a family member who could help him out. I hate being in situations like these because it plays a game of 20 questions on your morality. Gave him half my lunch and I was on my way.
If I had the money on me at the time, I would have gladly given it to him to get to Philly. Hope the poor guy finds his way through.  |
