I'm back!

[Debora]

Hi Everyone and WELCOME to all the new ones!

It seems like I've been gone forever but maybe only 2 weeks (I think)
I survived my meltdown .... my neighbors (the ones who were fighting really bad), ex husbands back surgery and everything in between!

Exhubby's surgery went well, It was an 8 hour surgery, doing major "spring cleaning" taking 3 fusions worth of harware out.  He did have a little bit of problems but not what the docs were worried about so over all he did good.  We (me and daughter) stayed in San Francisco area at a motel while he was in the hospital and did go sightseeing somewhat.  I started going into more of a flare so we took it easy also. (I'm still in a flare).

Before going to San Francisco, the neighbor lady had me watch the 2 little ones for 45 minutes only to return the next day.  her hubby was also gone all night.  I let them know that someone has to be the parents here.  Neither one knew that the other one was not home.   I haven't seen her since and he is with the kids.

My pharmacy has been playing a power game with me on my enbriel shots so I ended up without shots for 2 weeks.  I finally emailed headquarters and they got on it right away, the people at the pharmacy called yesterday (Sunday) to tell me my shots were in..... on a Sunday??..... the medical companies only deliver Mon-Fri up here sooooo, I tend to believe they had my meds all along...... they were nice to me but I could tell they don't like me.  Oh well at least I got my meds!

I will be going over to ex's to clean house and yell at him some more tomorrow   , he isn't resting like he should and stresses me out while watching him try to get around, so I guess he is my stress reliever by letting me yell at him!  Now I remember why we aren't married to each other   

I hope everyone is doing o.k.
Thanks for letting me vent, I thank God for my sjoggie family!

Hi Debora,
Welcome back.  Sounds like you have had your hands full.  I think I would have phoned the police when neither parent showed up at midnight.  You never know now a days about those fighting neighbors.    She could have done him in and left town.   I'm sorry, I'm all for being a good neighbor, but I think they were carrying things a little to far.  Sheesh!!!

I hope your ex gets well fast and you don't have to clean his house and yell at him anymore.

Take care and rest when you can, if you can.

Hugs, Pooh

Hi Debora 

Welcome back. I'm sorry you're 'flaring' and hope it will die down now you're home.

Take care - Scottie

Glad to see you are back.

Is this for real?!?

What is up with people, anyway? I definitely would have called the police or Child Protective Services (or whatever it is called in California).

Hope your ex heals fast.

Welcome back Debora!


You have had your hands full....make sure that you take good care of yourself as well in between taking care of everyone else!

I agree about the neighbor situation....it was a bit over what should be expected of a "friendly neighborly favor"....and I feel for the kids who are in the middle of it...thank goodness you were there or they would have had no one with them!

Hi Everyone

Thanks for your replies!
I'm surviving....I think......either that or I died and forgot to lay down!

My ex is o.k. we had a bit of a scare so we went to the emergency room, he was having major muscle spasms and his body was burning up.  After many frustrating hours he was sent home.  They did tests, the doctor also checked for blood clots because his legs and feet were swollen. everything checked out fine other than he had a touch of pneumonia.  They had an IV in him but nothing connected to him!     They wouldn't take the stitches out because they didn't put them in!     They forgot to put the bandages on his back, etc......  I think they just wanted me out of there  I had to keep requesting ice chips, everything else he needed as he laid there.....

I blew my cool when they helped him on the bed only to push him down to make him lay down and then yank the pillow out from under his head while he was screaming in pain.  I did laugh when they finally brought him tylenol to help with the pain, I told the nurse "thats kind of like giving a person asprin when they have a gun shot wound."  The IV sticking out of his hand was supposed to be for saline and morphine which never happened.  I'm going to check his bill from there and make sure they don't bill him for things that didn't happen there!

I'm sorry to be venting again!  I guess I'm just worn out.

Take Care
Debora

Good Grief!  You are a more patient person than I am.  I'd have leveled the walls.  My Mom used to say that a certain "look" from me would melt ice. I just can't stand for anyone to be in pain and nothing done. 

I sure hope things are being taken care of now.  And speaking of being taken care of....are you taking care of yourself?
