Get it fixed. They don't make them like that anymore.

I dunno, parts and availability for my 15 yr is expensive and scarce. Great utube vids for fixing tho.

So Mike had his routine colonoscopy yesterday and they removed a large polyp. Everything was great until this afternoon when he started bleeding - a lot! We ended up in the ER, they repaired the bleeding and he's now in the ICU as a precaution until the morning. He lost 4 pints of blood through all this! But he's got all that pisss and vinegar to make up for it so he's doing fine. As long as he doesn't have any problems through the night I should be bringing him home tomorrow. They better give him breakfast because he hasn't eaten since noon today so he's bound to get hangry! Not the way we planned on spending the day, but all is well now so we'll take it!

He must've been feeling real good after losing that much blood. That really sucks. I hate it when they do something routine and turns out this way.

Yes, cancer sucks majorly, but you're getting some good news here. Don't ignore those things.

Not sure if you mean me not having it but it isn't good news that she has to go thru all this now. The radiation to the brain scares me some, but it's better then the alternative. I really feel bad for her. I know she's scared too but tries not to show it. Hell who wouldn't be you know.

I have been thirsty, out of breath easily, and cannot stand up quickly. It will take time. Even if he is getting a transfusion.

Yep Ginny was sick after she got 2 units for the next day or so and then felt better. This radiation to the brain is not something she is looking forward to at all. But if it stops the Cancer from moving to the brain I guess it is worth it. Dr. Kelly said it is really important to keep it from coming back there and I know she doesn't want that.

What is your name @3mg Meniere . You were up early today. Sounds like us we tried sleeping in the living room because we end up waking up at 3am and coming down here thought we'd give it a try and we decided we liked going to bed even if it is for 3 or 4 hrs. But we tried. We've been like this since all this cancer crap started. It's somehow always on your mind,

yikes! Scary stuff! when I first went in with colitis,they didn't feed me for over 60hrs. didn't feel hungry anymore after the first 24 though. get well,Mike!

The tramadol lasts about six hours. Pain woke me up, I took more, and waited until it kicked in. Other than that, I slept well last night. My name is still Mary Baker.

just remember that Ginny has survived worse, and come through with flying colors. She will survive.

Thank You for the positive thoughts Mary. I'm sure she will survive this but we are wondering about side effects of radiating the brain. It is a preventative move but she thinks it is a necessary one. I'm sure that if it wasn't important she wouldn't do it.

Yep, we do have the membership. Just have to check out what brands they carry. I just wasn't sure about reviews on W&D these days. As time passes things change and I hadn't heard anything lately about what was a good brand these days.

But our daughter has a front loader and there's a lot of bending involved! I prefer top loaders, but I can get used to anything as long as it works well. The large tubs handle the blankets from 2 queen size beds so that's a must. I also need to find out about the new top loading washers not having the agitator and how that works to clean the clothes. It would seem the front loaders would work better for that. So many decisions!

I'm pet/house sitting for my sister right now, & doing my wash in her front loader. I have to bend waaaaay over to get things out of the back of her washer. I have a stackable top loader & I do have to bend over, but not this far. I'd get down on my knees or just squat to get out of hers, but I can't stand back up if I do. A couple of friends have the top loaders & I can reach those fine. Something to think about.

Getting over major surgery is no fun. Be careful with that shortnesss of breath after surgery. You need to let the Dr know. Pnuemonia or bloodclots are a maybe.

I test ed your theory with walking around the building twice and no significant problem. Going up steps is the problem.

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving. We were hoping to but now have all this crap hanging over our heads. First thing after the MRI is go in and have some little gold pins placed around the spot on her liver so the Cyberknife can find the spot. Hoping the brain is still clear or it even gets worse then what we are facing. Instead of 10 mild doses of radiation higher doses targeted.

I'm home. Got released from the ICU about 3:30pm today. No food restrictions ... the Doc said enjoy your turkey tomorrow. Just start taking some kiddie vitamins like Flintstones or Gummy Bears for the next month ... it will help build up your iron. Holy geez ... I lost 5 units of blood ... no wonder I felt like I was going to pass out just before they wheeled me away to patch me up. Never experienced anything like that feeling that just came over me and I don't want to feel it ever again.

So much for a routine colonoscopy. But on the good side ... the polyp they removed was the pre-cancerous type. Not like a little ballon they snip of and seal. This type I was told grows more like a fungus spreading out on a dead log. The was a lot of cutting and scraping to get it removed. But they're quite confident they got it all and I'm in good shape (once I rebuild my blood supply that is).

Just another day, huh Mike?
