So a very busy day today. Lots to recount so I’ll try to break it up to make it more manageable. Doctor’s Appointment: 2 week checkup on Lupron / Plan Moving Forward So apparently things aren’t really bad the first two weeks on Lupron. It gets worse. (Greaaaat.) My body aches and fatigue are going…

Good news!
I’m getting ready for my appointment, but briefly, I just had to share good news about Love’s dad. The tube is out! He’s awake and aware and breathing entirely on his own now. Oh thank goodness! He’s still going to be in the hospital for probably a month at least and there are still concerns;…
More Health Updates
Seems like by the time I get a moment to update, the news is already outdated. *sigh* But here’s the latest. Love’s Dad He’s still on the respirator. They have turned it off several times and he did breathe on his own, however, he’s not conscious right now and they won’t remove it until he…
Health and Medical Updates
Been a busy few days so let me try to break it down. Good and bad in the health department. First the good…. Love’s Dad He’s doing better thank goodness. He was on two medications to keep his blood pressure regulated but they’ve got him off both and he’s maintaining it on his own. His…
Waiting
I went down to Love’s work and met up with him to drive the rest of the way down to the hospital. Love’s Dad is still critical but there is some improvement. His kidneys are improving their function and he’s producing more urine. His blood pressure is stabilizing (it was too low) and they’re weening…
Love’s Dad
I just talked to Love. His dad has taken a serious turn for the worse. They thought the origin of the infection was the gallbladder and removing most of it would make him better but apparently not because he’s worse. Much worse. He’s going septic and he’s on a ventilator. They’re flooding him with antibiotics…
Wednesday
Wednesday was a stressful day. Love’s Dad Love’s dad went into surgery around 3pm today. They removed most of his gallbladder and it was apparently riddled with tiny stones. It was very badly infected. The doctor said that they think the severity of the infection was what was impacting his heart and it’s irregular beating…
Briefly
So far they think Love’s dad has gallstones. They also found his heartbeat is irregular, so they’re going to use a defibrillator to try to jump it back in rhythm. Love came home this evening and as far as I know, his dad is staying at least overnight in the hospital. Hopefully, we’ll know more…
Rough Day
Woke up about an hour after falling asleep last night in really severe pain in my stomach and abdomen. Was able to get back to sleep though and it was better when I woke up but, at that point, I had a really miserable headache/migraine. Been that way all day. Tried to list a few…
Weekend Update
It’s kinda been a busy weekend and I was getting ready to go to bed but not quite tired enough to sleep yet so I thought I’d spend a few minutes writing up an update. Friday I finally had my much belated birthday lunch with my Mom and sister. They were out in Vegas for…
My Guy Is Sick
So Love's sick. I was 45 minutes away en route to the health department for an appointment yesterday when I got a call from Love's friend at work, Steve. Steve was driving Love home. It was about 12:30pm. Love had been uncontrollably throwing up, was really dizzy and kinda blacking out. By the time I…
Another Fall
Mom called me this evening. Nanny fell again today. Not as bad as the last time, but it was another head injury. She’s in the rehab facility and is having really severe short-term memory issues. They told her to push the button when she wants to get up so they can help her. She kept…
Update On Nanny (After Her Fall)
So Nanny's fall was pretty bad. My mom, sister and I were up at the hospital the entire day on Sunday. Her chin, around her eye and her hand were terribly bruised. All swollen and a deep, deep shade of purple. She has a fracture in the hand, cheek and broke the orbital bone around…
Ups and Downs
Briefly, since I’m supposed to be getting ready, a few good and a few bad things going on. Good Stuff We finally were able to get Love’s car fixed yesterday. The belt tensioner assembly needed replacing (badly) and as a result, the car squeaked like mad every time you were in idling. Now, it’s blissfully…
Weekend At Nanny’s
Back-tracking slightly, I never got a chance to update about my weekend. Saturday wasn’t anything thrilling but Sunday was a mini adventure. I woke up around 9am to shower and get ready for my sister to come and pick me up around 11am. We then went to mom’s and eventually started the long (looooong) trek…
