Title: I was gone for a week--Irish
Post by: irish on July 13, 2008, 10:25:29 PM
Just a note to let you know that I am back. Have had some inquiries into why I was gone. Well, I had driven up to my son's place last Sunday and had to babysit 3 days last week as their babysitter was on vacation.

I also was able to drive down into the cities and had my infusion on Wed. On Thursday night I had to go back down to the cities again for a sleep study. I passed the darn thing I think as I did not have a CPAP put on me during the night. They told me I passed but said to wait and get the final verdict from my doc.

My hubby drove up on Saturday and we had baptism for the grandchild today. The interesting thing is that I got a cold this past week and it went into a sinus infection really fast. I have not had a cold for at least 10 years. This actually felt like a cold. Hubby and I drove home today and I called my immunologist and got permission to start on Biaxin which I happened to have on hand. That was 4 hours ago and I am feeling better already.

In the meantime found out that BIL and SIL from Meza will be here on Tues. for an unknown length of time and will have to help babysit the 2 little girls whose dad is at Mayos with the spinal cord leaks and awaiting surgery. Soooo, this will be an interesting month. I am pooped but feeling better now than I expected. My relatives will see a really messy house but I do not care as I am getting too old to worry about dust bunnies. Irish ;D

Irish,
So good to hear from you.
I hope you don't wear your self out this month.
I am still praying for your family, that is dealing with the spinal cord leaks.

I have also had cold or sinus, both maybe and ear infection. My ears were ringing for days and I could not hear well. I wore the word HUH! out.

So Glad to know your back.

Hi Irish,
I knew where you were, but still missed you terribly.  So glad you are back, but sorry about that cold.  I hope it clears up real fast.  I hope the little ones that are coming are not bringing more germs with them.  Those little ones are precious, but they sure can carry those bugs. ;D

Glad to hear you passed your sleep test.  I can't imagine trying to sleep, knowing there are people watching me. 

Take care and I sure am glad you got back safe. 

Hugs, Pooh

Irish, try and ignore the dust bunnies.  With little ones around, just maybe they'll help dust the flores shuffling and crawling around.  My husband asked the other day."how did dust get on the leg of the kitchen chair?"  I told him the floor was dirty. Simple.

I'm glad you got to enjoy the young ones.  Lucy
