Update on Mom

Well her surgery went well on Monday. She was in there for about 4 and a half hour. They had to take out more lymph nodes then they thought they would. They do feel that they got everything, which is good. Next morning Doctor saw her and everything seemed well said she could go home if she passed some tests, which she did . So I couldnt get her till later on the afternoon and when I got there she was complaining that she was very lightheaded and shaky. I informed the nurses who got in touch with the DR who revoked her discharge. Man was she pissed. All the poor thing wanted to do was get home and rest in her bed. Instead she was admitted again and was given and EKG which entailed shifting her bandages. She got over it finally and gave into it and let them do their testing. Then the covering doctor came in to check on her cause she was concerned about her high BP. She then proceeded to inspect her incisions and found that she had a hematoma forming inder her incisions. Ugh. So she felt her numbers were fine and didnt need to rush her into surgery at that moment to fix it. So all was well and they gave her Zanax to have her chill which was good for her.
Fastfoward to the middle of the night last night. She gets up to go to the bathroom with one of the nurses and she gets extremely lighthead, sweaty, and feels like shes gonna pass out. So nurses panic she is having a heartattack and call the rapid response team into her room. Her BP is through the roof and her heart rate was very elevated. They give her all kinds of meds to bring her levels down. Then she is transfered to the telemitry ward where she is monitored all the time. So I get there this morning after a 7 oclock wake up from the Doc. She informs me of what happened and that she has become very anemic from all the blood that has been draining. Also that the hematoma that was brewing need to bee taken care of but not until she is able to get all of her levels back to normal. I get to the hopital and she looks horrible, she is pail as a ghost sweaty and so nausous. I felt bad for her cause she still is unable to get comfortable in those horrible beds and she can only lay on her back. Plus sick on top of it and the meds for the nauseous isnt helping. So now we are waiting for a blood transfusion to replace all the blood she lost. Then hopefully that will help her and then we can move onto the surgery. Thats it for now I will post if anything new happens tonight.

Limbo

Every get that feeling in your life that your stuck in limbo and you dont know how to get out of it or fix it.

OK done with my random feeling for the day.

Update to our family wedding

Ok so this was the weekend for our wedding in Virginia beach on Ft. Story. It was so very different from anything I have been to and it so reinforced going away is the only way to do it. So some highlights from the day are: Will add more photos of the base later!

• Bride showed up 15 min late not dressed and finally walked down the aisle an hour later.
• Minister who was the brides sister in law, was late as well since her daugter (brides niece) was sleeping and didnt want to wake her up (WTF)
• No photographer whatsoever, just anyone who had a camera and the table cameras at the reception.
• Food was horrible. Coctail reception consited of butterfly shaped crackes and baby cubes of cheese, veggie platter and overcooked crab stuffed mushrooms and someother misc. unknown fried ball thing.
• Dj played for 2 hrs out of the 5 and played 80's songs (like mc hammer)
• Dinner was mystery meat was supposed to be beef but it was like a overdone pot roast. and slathered in salty brown gravy and mushrooms. The chicken dinner was like a wind and breast with the bone in, again dry and over cooked.
• Bar was good :)
• Bridemaids had beer hiding in there ugg boots before wedding.
• Brides brother didnt show up because he didnt want to pay for ticket. But sent his wife and kid (who were the minister and the niece)
• My SMIL look like she was gonna pop out of her dress at any second. (youll see below)
  

I know it sounds like all im doing is complaing and being picky im not like that. It was jsut so different and so unorganized it was an eye opening people watching experience.

The garter removal. THe DJ made him crawl on his hands and knees to get there and get it off.

Putting it back on was more disturbing. Instead of the guy putting the garter on whoever caught the boquet, they blindfolded the guy and then had him head toward the girl which they swopped out for another guy. They had the girl next to him and made it like was her but a hairy leg. Yeah it was as disturbing as it sounds. Funny but so different!!

This was the father daughter dance. It was to "when you wish upon a star" They are very big disney fans. Im not sure if it was the merlot getting to me or what. It was really hard to watch this since I never got a father daugther dance so it was hard to watch.

There cake that actually showed up to the church first. I didnt have a whole piece, I was afraid to mix sugar and wine.

My new Do....

SO what do you think ladies??

BEFORE

AFTER

Time for a change

Well the time has come to finally get my wifey hair cut/chopped. It feels a little weird since I havent been able to cut it for a year and a half. So it feels weird to be able to cut it now. I am still a little unsure but I know my hairdresser will talk me into it. I hope to post some before and afters cause I love them. Well ill post pics later.

know it all vent

Has anyone ever had one of those friends that think they know everything about everything even if they have never gone through it before. I have a friend who is getting married and buying a house and any advice I try to give her since I have been there and done that she shoots down and tell me im wrong. Then when I try to tell her the truth she says subject change. Buying a house is a big deal and there is always tons of hidden fees and things you need to know when buying a house. She completely disregards anything I say as nonsense and basically makes me feel like I have know idea what im talking about. Anywho thanks for letting me vent and get out my irritations. Shes just be so under my skin for the last few months.
