I'm here buddy. It's been an experience but I'm out of hospital and feeling like it's gonna stick this time. Been admitted through emerg 5 times since Christmas. Nightmare, even though I come in on ambulance, the triage nurses don't always get that even though I'm just a guy puking, I've been puking for 48hrs straight without end, had a very recent esophagectomy, and need IV fluids, IV emetics and IV benzodiazepines or hydromorphone, depending don't the incident.
To make things really crazy, my mom broke her hip and needed emerg surgery and my Dad's ticker gave him issues that resulted in a week in hospital. We're going down like bowling pins over here.
Anyway, the hospital care is by and large wonderful, and I'd jump on a grenade for those nurses, but coming in through emerg that many times, that sick, especially that last time, was personally apocalyptic.
I've been off ''the screens'' for a while just because I've felt so poorly and only had a tiny iPhone in the hospital - where I've been 9 days out of 10 since Christmas. Extreme nausea is the worst man, I'd rather re-live the worst pain I've felt in my life than the nausea I feel sometimes.
This time I've been home for 10 days, which is a record for the last 3 months so I'm def. trending upward and building some momentum in the right direction. Today I went with my Dad to Buckerfeilds Supply and picked up my seed potatoes for the garden. I'm gonna fill more than half of my 35ft. raised bed with potatoes this year. They'll love the blazing sun in that spot all summer. Unfortunately, I need to go turn it over somewhat. The weeds have created surface roots that are like a woven mat. I also bought some new tomato, cucumber and bean seeds, and I bought a tray of spinach seedlings, cabbage, and half a dozen patio tomato plants, most of which will go into 27 gal tote-SIPs.
Hope you've been hanging in there, this Missus too. I'll go check out your threads - I'havent even been gohsting you guys - although my daughter logs in as me now and then. Damn kids, they act like they don't need you, then use yer stuff. Paying for my sins, I am.
