Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Seven

[Uncle]

As Bea will agree, this weather is reminiscent of our days back home, however, the big difference is that our blood is a lot thinner living in Florida, so the bite is a lot more intense!

Flower you're right. We don't handle the cold as well.…never mind that we live here because we HATE IT!

Make that 3 . . . Never thought I would back to long pants and a sweatshirt or jacket . . .

@Diver9543 have created any beautiful pieces lately? And how is your new companion?

Sorry to say, I haven't been in the workshop for a while. It seems as if it isn't one thing it is another taking all my time. As far as my little girl, she is really starting to get used to us. It is really nice having an older dog that is already house trained. I did spend a couple hours the other day dog-proofing my side yard so she can't escape, at least for now. LOL

I feel like I'm gonna die. I don't know what is wrong with me. I was gonna go to urgent care and I kept waiting to feel better, didn't realize they close. I thought they were open 24hrs. I'm really feeling bad.

 

[Nermal]

You've got me really worried, Patrick. ER a possibility? I know they'll make you wait for hours (usually), but they just might think they've got a real problem.

 

[2legsshrt]

It probably would be but I don't know what is wrong. I've been having a really bad day. I don't know what is wrong with me. Just can't seem to get my s together at all. Its really hard to explain. I'm trying to snap out of it but not having very good luck. I actually fell asleep for a short time. I'm in my recliner, just don't feel like I can go to bed.

 

[Nermal]

I know what you mean. Feel and know something is very wrong, but impossible to put into words. Sometimes, it seems like just walking into a doctor's office makes you feel like you shouldn't be wasting their time.

Yep Ginny is sleeping in her hospital bed in the living room cause she didn't want to leave me alone. I wish I could start feeling better but it isn't working. I don't want to wake her but I need more water and don't think I can stand up without falling down. If I could see my own doc it might help but I'm afraid to go in for fear of getting put in the hospital. I hate hospitals since I lost my legs on a routine over night visit. I don't even like to visit people there let alone be placed in one. My doctor can't see me till Monday and I don't know if I can wait that long. It's more mental then physical.

I wasn't that joyed about going to an Urgent Care but my doc said that is where I should go because they have a lab and xray machine to check my leg. She thinks I could have a broken bone in it that caused this infection I just hope it hasn't snuck into the bone. I actually put my legs on and got some cheerios and an drumstick the ice cream kind. My left leg has been killing me. I have that infection in that one and that makes the whole thing hurt. She put me on a 2 week round of 2 antibiotics. I hope this works. I had to cancel Ginny getting the gold fiducial placed today I just didn't think I would be ok not being able to walk, I hated to put it off but I don't think she minded, going to do it Tuesday and the scan on Friday.

 

[2legsshrt]

Well I'm feeling better this morning. Thanks for talking to me last night @Nermal.
Actually got some sleep. About half way back to Normal, Nermal.

 

[Kenna]

Well Ginny has to go in tomorrow and have some gold pellets placed around the spot on her liver where the cancer is. I got up this morning and I can barely walk. I don't know what is wrong. I don't know if it's the infection that caused this or what but I can't put any weight on my left leg. I don't know what we are going to do. We have no one to ask for help over here.

Her insurance probably can provide that & cover it.

I think I can get her there ok it's whether I can walk from the car to the hospital. They will have wheelchairs inside. I'm just concerned that this infection is causing this because I didn't do anything to it. I've never had an infection that made my bones and muscles hurt but only when I try to walk on it. It doesn't hurt just sitting or anything except walkin. I'm going to get her there but not sure how I'm going to spend the next 8 hours.

Get yourself to the ER.

You might ask @oldbroad about her experiences with the Oriole jelly feeder...I believe she uses one.

Really? That's what I come here to get away from.

You knkow I'm starting to think that damned infection was starting to affect my ability to think, more then usual. This is day 2 of the antibiotics she put me on and I feel 90% better. Gotta good nights sleep comparatively to 3 or 4, I feel almost normal again. Yesterday was very weird, I thought for sure I was going to die. I didn't want to go to the hospital because of my phobia of them which started when I lost my legs. I hate hate hate them. Don't even like to go there for an xray let alone being placed there. I was sure that was what they were going to do and wasn't up for that at all so I was really worried about going in and getting it checked. These AB she put me on must be pretty potent I take 2 of 1 and 4 of another. So YEEHAW

The phobia of hospitals like I said started with losing my legs. What happened is I went in for an overnight so they could give me the infusion slowly, my doc at that time thought that would be better but instead of giving it to me slowly they tried to get the 2 bags in in about 4 hours. I went in thinking this is going to be great, the food is good there and you can order what you want anytime up till 8pm. I was actually looking forward to it. When I woke up 3 weeks later and was told my legs had to be amputated I couldn't believe it. I was there 1 more week and sent to a rehab nursing home so 3 weeks in ICU and one week on regular floor now legless and ever since I have hated them.

Sheesh now the political ads are over and the Medicare ins ads have started. Everyone has the best coverage ever.
