My camping weekend went perfectly! Fri when I arrived at camp around 2 it was sunny and warm, 70's, tshirt and jeans weather. Then storm came through, probably dropped 20 degrees in 20 minutes! Lots of rain that night, but no biggie, very hilly so it all rain off. Then chilly in the mornings, frost Sat. a.m., but 60's each day and mostly sunny! Perfect for riding horses, wayyyyyy more fun than riding in 95-100 degree weather like we had June-Aug. Camp fires each evening to keep you warmed up, auction and DJ Sat. night. Life is good! My water hyacinths got burned in the frost while I was gone. Didn't really notice anything else hurt by it, though. Back to work today. Mid 40's this morning, but sunny and warming up to mid 60's.

It's hard on the loved ones family when they get sick, the stress can really take its toll. I felt drained too, from all the stress and emotional overload can be very very exhausting. I finally took time to "breathe" today, and yesterday, got tomorrow off too, might run up and see hubby tomorrow, sounds like he will be still in there for a couple more days, should know more tomorrow. Even Poppy seems stressed when I'm stressed, poor puppies, they look out the window and see "Daddy's" car and wonder where he is! When I brought the bag of dirty clothes home from the hospital, the puppies had to sniffed the bag!

Then it does not help that winter seems just around the corner, wind seems to chill me to chill me to the bone, frost in the air every morning now, supposed to reach a "high" of plus 11c or around 50 degrees f. Then of course that "high" does not last long, cause before you know it, the sun is gone and your freezing again....

Pray that all goes well mad hatter. Hopefully he will be home soon.

How is your son Sissy?

 

[sissy]

I spent 4 days at the hospital .his white blood count was very low and he was not responding and all the tests showed nothing ,but his leg and foot were extremely swollen and they were giving him blood thinners and he was on high doses of pain killers and finally the meds started to work .His leg went down some and he finally went home sunday and was resting .Doctors took tons of tests and not sure what caused all the problems .They know he had blood poisoning and a blood infection but are not sure what caused it or why it happened .His girlfriend is a nurse practicioner so he went home and she just called and said his leg is mostly back to normal .Doctor did say he may need some physical therapy to get stronger and they took more blood and he has to go back 2 times a week for now .They don't want it to happen again so they are watching him close .They want to do another MRI again .They are not sure why the high fever would not respond to meds at first .They were thinking menengitis at first since there has been cases of it but no tests showed confermed it .So glad it was not that since he takes no meds for back pain I knew it could not be the tainted meds out there .Thank you for asking and hoping for the best and thank you all for the well wishes for him .That helped a lot

 

[Big Lou]

Glad to know he is better. Our best to all.

 

[sissy]

Thank you and I am relieved he is better and glad to be back home .

Good to hear your son is better and that you are back home, Sissy. That is a real strain on a person to be away from home for time periods not planned for. Glad he didn't have that menengitis that has been all over the news last few days caused by steroid meds! Wow, that would have been REALLY scary! I hope they figure out what caused it, as there may be another strain of something going around.
And, Colleen, hoping to hear your hubby will get to come home soon, too! Keep us posted!
Prayers for both of you and your families!

That would be very scary Sissy and sure glad it started to go away w/ their treatments. I heard about those steroid shots that are causing meningitis and killing people. I don't like getting any shots of any kind just for that reason. Ya never know. Glad he didn't get that disease. Prayers for him to keep getting stronger sissy!

Colleen I'm still sending prayers for John to heal fast and come home as soon as he can!

Good to hear your son is going to be fine Sissy, you probally need a big hug and lots of rest after all that stress. I'd like to give you a big hug and a warm mug of fresh coffee and we could sit in my homemade greenhouse and soak up some sun. Johns going to be fine, the swelling in his mouth will go down and then he will be able to swallow again, then they will send him home. He will have to have radiation after he gets better, so that the cancer does not ever come back, then we can live happy together at home, where the puppies can run by the bubbly pond and bark nice at the deer in the front yard, where the sun always shines, there is tall green grass and pretty flowers, a winter never comes......

 

[sissy]

Sounds like you are part of Mr Rogers neighborhood colleen . :razz: If the economy was better that would make me happy .

 

[callingcolleen1]

Awe, Mr. Rogers, for some reason I used to watch that guy, for an abnormally long time, can't say for sure if it affected me any.... ha ha ha
