I did my ironman triathlon yesterday. I finished right where I had hoped which is really exciting. I thought my hopes were maybe too high. But had I gone slower I was worried I wouldn't feel it was worth it. Anyway....it was oddly fun and I'm super sore. Not planning to do it again any time soon.
To celebrate M wouldn't sleep without her mouth on my boob last night. Soooo tired
He's in a lot of pain they switched him to a clear liquid diet and the nurse didn't know why and the doctor hasn't been back, but liquids go straight through him, which is why he keeps getting dehydrated in the first place. And apparently the morphine isn't helping with the pain anymore.
shehulk723 I'm sorry he's not feeling great but I'm happy they finally admitted him. I really hope they're able to help him soon. Hopefully your insurance company won't be an asshole and will cover it.

The nurses are about to get an earful from me. DH couldn't make it to the bathroom and got poop everywhere. (While someone was visiting him too ) he called for the nurses to wrap his IV arm so he can take a shower and an hour and a half later they still haven't done it. They've left him to sit in his poop for an hour and a half. And he's 30 min overdue for his pain meds so he's now in excruciating pain. I just left church early and am about to go in

Woohoo! You are AMAZING! I can't even imagine!!!!! Yay!!!
shehulk723 oh my gosh, how terrible! I'm so sorry.
Is there anything at all we can do for you?
I honestly don't know. Today has been such a nightmare. The hospital's GI lied about going to see H because he had 24 hours to respond to the consult. The nurse backed H up that the GI didn't come. Tomorrow the GIs associate is supposed to be coming to see him. We may end up moving him to another hospital.

As a nurse this makes me so upset.
As someone who trained as a CNA/NAC (in my state, it's the same thing), this makes me livid.
How's he doing today shehulk723. And how are you?!
Slightly better after the nurse shift change. They put him back on a low residue diet which is what he needs. They had switched him to clear liquids but liquids go straight through him and cause him excruciating pain. So he's doing somewhat better this morning.
I am in pain and tired, but I'm hanging in there. I'm bringing the girls to my mom's house in a couple hours, then I have to go to work, and then I'm going to see if she'll keep them a little longer so I can visit him without the kids. Going to the hospital with kids is awful. The parking and walking to his room is bad enough, but then I'm wrangling them, keeping them off the floor, keeping the toddler from grabbing his IV or pushing buttons she shouldn't, not to mention worrying about what germs they're coming in contact with. I'm feeling somewhat proud of myself this morning for getting the living room and dining room cleaned up and vacuumed and making omelets for me and the girls. And sneaking in a shower during keira's nap.
Here's a question for those of you that SAH. Do you feel bad spending money? It's like I'm neglecting myself almost, because I feel this guilt that I shouldn't spend money if I don't make any. We are definitely savers anyway, so I'm talking about basic stuff not even big splurge purchases. Since O was born and I stopped working I am having a hard time adjusting I guess.

I work part time, but it is very little money. I understand what you're talking about and did feel some of that in the beginning. I remember getting a slight raise at work (amounted to $20 per paycheck) and the next day when I bought a new sweater I was like hmm I guess this comes out of that new money! But, now I really do feel like it's all "our money". I do feel bad spending money on clothes or other stuff for myself, but I was never a big splurger on myself anyway. I think over time you adjust.
I have all the feels tonight guys. DD is asleep in her crib upstairs. She's been refusing to sleep in her pack and play the past week or so. She would seriously wake up as soon as I put her down and be crazy. So she'd sleep in our bed a few nights, which I hate (anxious about all the things) plus she's a crazy sleeper and would kick me or hit DH in the face. So I put her upstairs and it worked. It's giving me all the feels to not have her asleep in our room.
Me (30) MH (32) Dx: MFI (low all the things) M. 10/11. TTC Since 01/14 IUI#1-3(Letrozole + Trigger) = BFN Second Opinion. Changed RE's. IVF 09/15 Long Lupron 12R/9M/8F, Transferred 1=BFN. 4 frosties. FET #1 12/15 Transferred 1 (3 still on ice)
I'm just going to vent right here. Feel free to ignore it because I know I'm crazy.
I've talked about my extreme fear of death here before. I have horrible horrible anxiety over dying and what comes after. Bailey seems to have it too- which makes mine even worse. She randomly cries and tells me she's going to miss me when I die. And she doesn't want to grow up because she'll miss me so much. And she wishes she could just keep me forever. I don't talk about my fears in front of her, or ever really, so this makes it so much harder. Last night she completely lost it. It was heartbreaking.
Today I went to the dermatologist. I've got a few specks on my legs I wanted her to look at. I've got one on my hip area that's been there for a while and as soon as the doc saw it she said she wanted to remove it. I told her I had a 5 hr drive tomorrow/and back thurs and maybe we should wait a few days. She said no, she wanted to remove it then. So now I'm freaking out. Then the jehovas found my house somehow (I live on a wooded dead end street) and dropped off some pamphlet. I opened it tonight and the first thing I see is "my mom died of skin cancer when I was 7"
I know I'm being crazy. I know my anxiety is getting the worst of me. But I'm freaking out. I'm already super stressed because I've gotta fly next week (terrified of that too- surprise!), and now this.

steph I'm sorry. If it's any consolation, I had a spot that looked bad. The dermatologist was positive it was dangerous. It had completely changed shape and size and everything. But the tests came back totally fine. Also, I'm a Jehovah's Witness and I'm sorry if the article upset you. It's really meant to encourage. Hope you can find some peace of mind! That's a lot of stress.
