Cinco de mayo Randoms!

[kaliRN]

Still sitting in ER over here. Been here since 10pm est and haven't really seen a doc yet. Have a great nurse who is helping DH with some pain relief for the kidney stone but no one is sure why he's having such high blood pressure. So this girl is at 26 hours awake and feeling grumpy.

Oh no! Hope he gets to see a doctor and everything gets taken care of asap!

That's terrible!  I can't believe you've been waiting so long.  Hang in there - hope you get some answers soon and some sleep!

Ugh. I am so sorry you are still up with him!! I am glad his pain is better but the BP part is no good! I am surprised you are still in the ER though and they haven't admitted him at this point.

Oh no! That is an awfully long time to wait. Hopefully you get some answers soon.

That's terrible! Can you pull out your "I'm a nurse bitches" card and get to see the doc sooner? (Kidding) I hope he gets some relief soon!

Tapatalk seems to have updated itself over night. Hmmmmm. Not bad so far, and I was actually just able to find the screen to go look at my notifications!!

[swivelchair5]

((hugs)) kaliRN,

[summerdonna]

I was not only on time to work this morning but I was 5 minutes early! This is a very rare occurrence and I'm rather proud of myself.

[requiressnacks]

I'm already looking forward to my taco dinner tonight. Yay Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday.

Will police show up at my door

I don't think so. In my state you have to pay a fine.

[notthedroids]

Hugs kaliRN. Hope he gets to see someone soon!

H and I had mexican last night to celebrate my job offer/star wars day/early cinco. I ate sooo much. Also, I did not have a spoon at work this morning so I am eating yogurt with a fork.

[wannabmama]

@pineappleoranges depends on your state...fines and/or arrest are both possible. Usually just for repeat offenders really...but I wouldn't want to risk it (I'm a goody goody though).

Wasn't being entirely serious. This is Brooklyn, if they arrested everyone who dodged jury duty, there wouldn't be anyone left to be a juror.

Ha fair enough. Usually it's just a bench warrant so you wouldn't even know until you get pulled over or something. But yes in Brooklyn prob are a few other priorities for the judicial system...

I would love to be on a jury. Every time I've been called my service has been canceled before I even have to go show up.

Oh mo hope you get answers soon (and sleep)
Make sure you eat...that helps me when I'm tired and grumpy.

[ceejay]

I'm so sorry you guys are still stuck there, kaliRN. Hope they will see him soon and provide some help and answers!!!

I'm so tired and it's going to be a long day. I didn't sleep very well, and now I have to be at my conference from 8:30 am until 8 pm with only a few little breaks throughout the day. Needless to say, I will be drinking LOTS of coffee.

The bright side of kidney stones is that after it passes the horrible part of the pain goes with it. I'm sorry!

Any chance his blood pressure is high because he's in pain and worried?

[joy]

Today is my wedding anniversary. Four years!

[ironbaby]

I hope your H sees a doc soon, kaliRN.

H had to fly out last night for work. His first flight was delayed, which made him miss his connection. They put him up in a hotel to catch a flight this morning. Turns out, he could have rented a car and driven the 1.5 hours to his destination hotel. I feel so bad for him dealing with all the hassle late last night (with no luggage) and having to face work (and a certification) today on little sleep.

[butlerfan]

Happy anniversary joy!

[becwheat]

I hope the stone passes soon kaliRN!

My car died yesterday. It is 12 years old and has been having little issues here and there, but the transmission went out yesterday and it is not worth it to fix it.

We were hoping not to buy a car until DH's condo sold, but here we are. It will be tight for a few months, but will we be fine.

Since my birthday is on Thursday I will look at the bright side and say: I am getting a new car for my birthday!!!!

[adorebel]

Yikes kaliRN, fx you get in soon! Triage in the ER can be so hard when you're in pain like your H is!

Happy Anniversary joy and Happy Birthday becwheat!

MH and I are hoping to go mushroom foraging later today or tomorrow. Warm weather and rain mean they might finally be appearing! Yum.

notthedroids, you reminded me of this:

[shemarie82]

I had the gastric sleeve a little over a year ago, and last year, I was sure that by this summer, I would need a whole new wardrobe...but I don't. It seems like all of my weight has left my boobs, but the rest of me is the same (not accurate, but in my mind). So, while packing for Florida, I was feeling really down on myself because I can still wear the same shorts from last year. Today I put on a dress from last year, and it looks like I am in a tent. It makes me feel a little bit better.

Sometimes our perceptions of ourselves are so much harsher than the reality. Work that tent!

Happy anniversary joy!

[ironbaby]

Happy Anniversary, joy! Our first anniversary is the end of the month, and I have no idea what I am going to do for him. I really want to do something special.

[hydrangea1019]

kaliRN I'm sorry yall are still sitting in the ER. Hope he starts feeling better soon!

I'm super excited for dinner tonight tacos, cervesa, and guac (for the hubs). Plus our (probably) future BIL will be coming for dinner too since he's in town for work

[singingsea]

kaliRN, sorry about your husband. Hope he feels better soon!

I'm having a lame cinco de mayo. Not drinking tonight and I have tons of housework to do. If I'm lucky I might be able to get a run in.
