~582~ Sick

Sick as a dog!
That is what I am....
Tessa is getting better and I thought I could finally breath easy.....Well I did until about 1 am this morning......
As long as I don't eat anything and drink very little I can rest....
Sitting up is not fun but I couldn't take another minute of laying down.
And I wanted to let you know that I won't be posting until this nasty messy thing has left my world.
Take care all!

~581~ Another long day

Tessa WAS doing better........
Until this morning.
The alarm went off and since I didn't have to get up to walk the boy to school I just yelled at her from my bed, (this is our routine on the days I don't have any other kids in the morning.) I usually get a "10 more minutes PLEASE!" or "I'm up, I'm up! Jeez MOTHER!"
This morning I got nothing....so I called her again and got a croaking sound.
I got up to see what was going on, her cheeks were so red they were glowing and her eyes were fever bright. she stood up to go to the bathroom and hit the floor.....Very scary!
She couldn't walk without help, I didn't fool around looking for a ride I called a cab and we went to the ER. She had a temp of 103 at one point.
The took blood and a chest X-ray to make sure that it wasn't an infection....It wasn't it was the flu coming back to kick her in the butt.
She is now dosed up with Tylenol and fluids..........
 
WHEN WILL THIS END?!?
 
I hate when my kid is sick

~581~ 10 Random things

  • Tessa has to eat yogurt out of a wine glass.
  • I can drink coffee right up until I go to bed.
  • I can't drink tea after 3 pm.
  • When Tessa has a good laugh she ALWAYS gets the hiccups, (watching a good stand up comic with her is always fun.)
  • It is almost certain that if my friend likes a movie, I won't.
  • I'm a good cook, but I hate to cook.
  • I used to not be able to sleep if my bedroom door was open, now I can't sleep if it is closed.
  • I will only go grocery shopping BEFORE 10 am on a weekday, (never on a weekend, unless there is snow or ice.)
  • I really don't like to be touched but I never deny anyone a hug.
  • No one can make me laugh like Tessa does.

This isn't a tag I just couldn't come up with another blog idea....LOL!

If you want to play along that would be great if not....That's OK too.

~580~ Update and Tag

Well we spent ALL morning waiting to see the Doctor.
I felt bad that I had too wake my friend and ask her to come and get us to the Doc's but I am very thankful that we did because even with the ride we almost didn't make it. We got there just in time, we were the last ones our Doctor was allowed to see for the day as walk- ins and it was only 8: 45 am!
If we had been 30 seconds later we wouldn't have been able to see him until this Friday, when I had an actual appointment but with how bad Tessa was feeling we couldn't wait that long.
We had decided not to go to the ER because we were worried the wait would be longer then it was at the office, I think it would have been the same, we waited for 3 hours to see him.
In the end it turned out to be just the flu, which in an odd way was a great relief......
You see with Tessa's stomach problems, an everyday flu or minor food poisoning is a "relief" because then there is something we can can do to help her feel better.
The Doc gave her some anti-nausea meds, Tessa was very thankful for those, right now she is calling them her "best friend".
Tessa and I were talking and had a little laugh at the fact that it has been a long time since she had a "real" flu, most of the time for the last few years her illnesses have been because of anxiety and a severe iron deficiency,(both of which took years to diagnose and find a treatment that worked.)
 
Bonus is that we killed 2 birds with one stone, when the Doc saw me sitting there with Tessa he turned around and grabbed my file, I told him not to worry about me we were here for Tessa, he dealt with her and sent her out of the room and looked at me and said "Your INR is very low, I was acually going to call you today and tell you to go to the hospital because to be honest I'm surprised you haven't thrown a clot yet...."
Because of the ice and snow,the difficulty getting an appointment in a timly manner I have been without my meds for a bit, this happens from time to time and there are things I can do to minize the risks but those measures only work for a matter of days before the risk of a stroke or worse becomes dangerous and I have been sitting firmly in the "red zone" for about a week or so, my doctor was worried and to be honest so was I, but that is all fixed now.
From now on I will NOT let it get that low again, because I might not be so lucky next time.
Anyway....
We got back home with a little time to relax before I had to get the boys from school, I dealt with them and as soon as they got picked up by thier Mother I fell into bed and SLEPT for 5 hours......yeah that wasn't too smart of me because now I'm going to be up all night....Oh well stuff happens!

~578~ Friday

TGIF!
Well really I still have one more day of work but it's still Friday.....YAY!
The kids have the day off school so I was able to to sleep in.
Did I sleep in?......mmmmm NOPE! I woke up at 6 am, wide awake, no chance of falling back asleep....SUCKS!
Well I guess that's what I get for falling asleep at 8 pm...lol!
I kind of get the day off today even though I still have the kids, Tessa gets the day off school as well, (it seems to be a Province wide Pro-D day.) and  I have a TON of running around to do and since she is home she can watch the boys so I don't have to rush around and try and get everything done in a small time limit, which is really hard to do when you have to take buses every where, (God I HATE public transit!).
 
Well I'm off to the races!
Have a WONDERFUL Friday, and if I don't make it back, have a fun filled, relaxing weekend!
(((Hugs)))

~577~ Happy Valentines Day!!

So  what do you do on Valentines Day when you don't like chocolate (yes honestly. I don't like chocolate, just the smell of it makes me gag.), you are allergic to most flowers AND the guy you are seeing doesn't know the meaning of romance even with the help of a dictionary and giant cue cards?
 
Well....
 
If you are me (be thankful your not).
You get your favorite flavor of chips and a couple trashy Vampire romance novels and settle in for a good read.
 
Have a good one all!

~576~ Hmmmmm......

My family tree is twisted , gnarled and graphed in strange ways.....Like I am the youngest of 11 (yes eleven) but technically I am an only child...play with that one for a while and you'll figure it out...LOL!
And no I wasn't adopted.
Today I was on my facebook page and I saw pictures of  my older sibling's Father's second family (3 of my brothers and 1 sister and I share the same Mother but different Fathers.) Anyway I saw THEIR younger brothers, I have never seen pictures before.......And I have to say it was kind of strange to look at these people I have never met and see my brother's eyes or my sister's smile.
But then again it must be strange for them too to see pictures of me and see that I have their father's last name but I'm not related to them.
And for some odd reason I'm really ticked at my Mother for not giving me MY Father's last name, even though I KNOW  back then because they weren't married  she couldn't......
Are you confused?
Meh, don't worry this is my life and it STILL confuses me!......LOL!
Well I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying your Wednesday.
((((Hugs)))

~575~ a re-post

Words
Words can inform.
Words can bring laughter.
Words can heal.
Words can make you blush.....
 
One simple question brought me a new friendship....
 
One short paragrph made another an ugly, meaningless lie...
 
Words are beautiful.
Words are important.
 
But....
 
Words do indeed cut deeper than any knife.

~574~ Saturday

WOW! it's been a long time..... And I only have time for bullets today.
 
  • I'm still feeling a little under the weather
  • My new bed is THE best place to be! It's amazing the difference a good nights sleep makes.
  • We have finally (after years and many tests) found out want was causing Tessa to be sick all the time, a severe iron deficiency.
  • She is now taking big ass iron pills every day and it has really helped with her energy levels.
  • Rick's niece had her baby on the 6th, I just saw pictures....so cute and chubby! (9lbs 7 ounces)
  • It took over a week for the ice to melt, I can get out! Too bad I feel like crap....
  • The puppy and I have become friends, she's still a brat but she's getting better.

Well that's it for now, because inspite of feeling like....well crap, I have to get things done I'll be back later.

(((Hugs)))
