Open Thread

Ya. It is an open thread, what of it?!

I still have pneumonia. I finally cooked my bird on Sunday and had a few people over. I way overdid it, so now I am back to couch living and trying to get well.

Thank gawd that kiddo and husband are back to work and school though, 'cause I was going to kill them. Boss wants and needs a project done, that is why my computer is on.

All you're getting from me is an open thread...

Take care.; December 2, 2008 at 9:44 AM
Anjha said...: My turkey was fab. My body, not so much.

I actually edited and played with syntax (on the post - not the bird, or my body) because my first sentence looked like I way overdid the bird...thought I clarified, but I am not thinking all that well at all.; December 2, 2008 at 11:26 AM
iamcoyote said...: Ha! I thought the bird was overdone, too. Sorry you're still not feeling well, Anjha!; December 2, 2008 at 2:35 PM
Anjha said...: Thanks. I must be getting better because now I am just pissed that I am still sick. My immune system just got beat up with the colonoscopy and shit..and my meds, so I cannot kick this crap.

But, anger means that I am not depressed, so this is good.; December 2, 2008 at 6:27 PM
mainsailset said...: Hey kiddo I can relate. Last Tues docs realized my portacath had "flipped" and I'd need surgery but of course surgeons were booked thru Thanxgiving. Life got a bit fuzzy as I developed a good sized fever which AB couldn't help until yesterday...99.9 fever whole weekend. Surgery today with good news that though they were 3 hrs late they gave me a direct IV drip of Vicadin just before they booted me out the door. Wheeeee!!! Glad sis was there to do the driving, I was having way too much fun. So hold onto that pissiness, it'll get you up and better soon.; December 2, 2008 at 9:44 PM
iamcoyote said...: Good luck, mainsailset! Enjoy the vics while you can, but not too much, wink wink.; December 3, 2008 at 6:13 AM
Anjha said...: Damn Mainsailset, I am sorry that you had to wait so long for them to fix it. Does that mean that you spent all of those days in the hospital? Crap.

See - I knew that if I looked I would find someone who had it worse than me and then I would feel a little embarrassed for complaining.

I tried watching movies on LMN. Usually that works to find the folks who got it worse than me.

Mainsailset - keep us posted, will ya? Let us know how you are doing. Thank you also for stopping by, it is nice to have a variety of voices around here.; December 3, 2008 at 7:05 AM
mainsailset said...: Hi Anja, yeah I was trying to make you feel better because pneumonia has to be pretty crappy to have at Thanksgiving time.
I too stayed on the couch, docs just tried the AB and I'm afeared of MRSA so didn't want to head to hospital.
I've got a long way to go on treatments, at least another 6 months and having them infuse me with drugs from China every week does not make me happy.
Like everyone I know I'm just praying that the company I work for can keep their doors open and that insurance will be available. Fingers crossed.; December 3, 2008 at 7:24 AM

Unless they are all in your head.

What?; December 3, 2008 at 7:25 AM

That is why I blog, SoS. If it weren't for you guys, gawd knows what I would be saying to myself.

Can you imagine if all of the shit that I fed to the trolls was shit that I fed to myself for lack of a better outlet?!

Mainsailset - what are you being infused with, and why?

I do not look at where my meds are coming from - I just spend my time fighting for them.

I have to work again today, but I might have enough energy to work and blog.

That would be huge.; December 3, 2008 at 9:39 AM
mainsailset said...: SoS. Chemo
Energy, oh yeah, I seem to remember having that once upon a time; December 3, 2008 at 11:37 AM
Seven of Six said...: Oh fuck mainsailset... I'm sorry.

I don't know what to say... get better is the lamest thing I can come up with.; December 3, 2008 at 1:02 PM
Anjha said...: Crap Mainsailset. I'm with SoS, in not knowing what to say, except to ask that you check in with us and let us know how you are doing.

Sometimes it helps to just vent, I know that.

My email addy is Anjha11 at gmail dot com. Don't tell anyone....it is OK to post it over here, cause no one reads us, heh.

Seriously though, feel free to write and let us know what is going on from time to time.; December 3, 2008 at 1:19 PM
mainsailset said...: Thanks guys. It's been a bucket of shit. For now, suffice it to say that I have found a fierce empathy for everyone who is challenged by physical and mental ailments. So lookout you two cause I'm sending you vibes!; December 3, 2008 at 2:16 PM
iamcoyote said...: My accountant had Stage 4 stomach cancer, and was told 2 years. She had a brain tumor. She's now cancer free and though weak, she's gonna live lots longer than 2 years. It's kickable, man. I'm sorry you're having to do chemo, it really really messes you up, but man, fight like hell, it makes a huge difference. And my accountant is 65. Whoda thunk. We're all pulling for ya, mainsailset, my email's on my profile, I think - write if you need to vent. Hugs your way, kiddo!; December 3, 2008 at 2:19 PM
Anjha said...: Hey, mainsailset, will you please send one of us an email?; December 4, 2008 at 10:21 AM
