 Topic: Man,,,I am so tired,,,,
Posted: 30 Apr 2018 at 9:03pm |

I just got home from the hospital and gosh I am plumb wore out,,, Long bout 2:40 this AM,,The wife woke me up to take her to the ER..She has had these bumps that look like a pimple but are not and she scratches em to the point that she had one of those on the underside of her right foot bout the size of a half dollar and bout 1/4" deep. I been trying to get her to go see the dr and made 4 different appointments for her which she would NOT keep,,so now we are to this point. They did an MRI to see what her bone conditions were. The Podiatrist had her in surgery for 1 1/2 hours cutting and scrapin the infected tissue away and get a bone sample for a culture. He told her if the bone is infected,,,she will most likely lose her foot,,,,,,CHIT,,!!! One positive thing is he said she beld a lot during the surgury,,which is a GOOD sign in spite of her diabetes. Maybe,,maybe,,,and here's hopin,,,,,

Joe, I'm hoping this all works out well for her (and you). People sure can be stubborn at times, can't they?
I hauled a guy to the hospital last Tuesday, we met 50 years ago tomorrow, May first, on the bus taking us to Denver to be drafted into the Army. After Basic at Ft. Bliss, Tx and AIT at Ford Ord, CA, we both got sent to Germany, thanks to the Russians invading Czechoslovakia. Didn't see him for 5 years or so then ran into him on a construction job a couple blocks from the bus station we left from. He worked with computers while in the service and now attempts to keep mine working. Found out he had pressure on his brain and the Doc, who looked like he just graduated from High School, told him he was going to drill a couple holes in the top of his head and put in a couple tubes to drain. Doc called to say everything went well. I stopped in a couple times, he is getting better but they haven't figured out why it happened. He lives by himself in the mountains so they are going to send him to a rehab place for a couple weeks to keep an eye on him.
This getting old thing isn't for weaklings!

Damned diabetes is a nasty disease,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I've not had any problems with mine for years,, found out about twenty years ago that I have it............ But about a month or month and a half ago my left leg started swelling from edema,,,,,,,, and then it started leaking. I wound up with about four spots about the size of a cigarette, and one about a half inch in diameter. Those grew to patches about as big a your thumb, and very nasty looking. So I started with wound care last Friday,,,,,, will have sessions three times a week for four weeks. So you might say that i'm in your wife's shoes and can emphasize with her! I sincerely hope the healing is fast, painless and complete........ joe

I'll be praying for you and the Mrs., there DJ. You folks have been through a lot lately, and I hope things get better. Ditto on what John said; getting old isn't for weaklings. I really don't consider myself "old" yet, but things have gone downhill since I turned 50. LOL! Darrel

Will be praying for you and your wife.
Tell me about them that don't think they need the O'l doc. My Wonderful can take that notion,when at the same time signing  me up to see him. But must admit I really needed them doc's going to be 3 years ago come summer.
But then my dad  was always saying the doc needed more customers so he could drive a new car every year. |

Gosh Guys,,,I'm so thankful for all the kind words. Today, started out a pretty good day as the wife woke up talkin bout goin home,,,then,,she started to become more and more pale lookin but then fell asleep right after eating lunch. I went home to get a bite when the Dr called me and told me I better get back down there ASAP as they were having an "incident". I hauled azz and when I get there they had moved her to a "safe" room that was full of nurses and Drs runnin this way and that. Her Dr pulled me over and said she had "bottomed out" and were on the verge of losing her. Her Blood Pressure was very LOW, and they had a Dr installing a "pic Line" in her neck in order to be able to inject larger amounts of antibiotics to try to control the infection in her bloodstream,,,!!!
Fellas,,,I was one scared person thinkin I was fixin to lose my partner of 50 years. She was so pale laying there totally inactive at all,,,,,,
After bout 20 minutes, she kinda snapped out of it and comes to and started talkin with the nurses as if nothing happened,,,,They quickly drew more blood samples and ran her labs for the kidney function. Her numbers were some better but decision was made to go ahead and fly her to Albuquerque soon as a room could be found and a helicopter arranged for.
I'm having to stay behind to get some housing for the 2 yorkies and I guess ole Hungry is gonna have to fend for hisself,,,,,Naw,,,ole Shameless would never let me hear the last of thet,,so, our Son, Jamie will tend to his groceries.
Soon as I get everything secured here,,I'm gonna head up there after lunch tomorrow. Wish us luck,,,,,,,,.

Gee Joe, I sure hope things turn out ok for you two. We know your wife is a strong woman, what with having to put up with you for 50 years, but still, you guys need each other to be a team. I'm hoping the docs in the big city can get her well quick! She's got the entire Allis Forum pulling for her, and nothing out pulls an AC.

Many prayers. A Dr took my big toe and ball joint off my right foot because of infection. It was a long road to recovery ! Then 2 more toes got infected, one on each foot and I was told they would amputate both ! I said hold it ! Called an old country podiarist in small town USA and he got me in right that day. Looked at them and scheduled surgery next morning as an out patient ! Saved both of them and recovery was shorter than before !
Again ask lots of questions ! And pray a lot !
I will !
