Wazzzzzzzzz Up!

Update on Life in General.

Echo was fine, dopplers fine, still waiting on 24 hour holter moniter and labs. I am almost scared to say this out loud, but I feel better! If all of this comes out clear, then I think the next step is a sleep study. That's one test I look forward to! The lasix is working double overtime...over the weekend I only took 20 mg a day since my ankles had magically reappeared...bad idea. I came in Tuesday to see that I had gained 4 pounds over the weekend and had tree trunks sticking out of my shoes. I took 40 mg yesterday and today all 4 pounds are gone, and my ankles have reemerged. (Now if I just didn't have to shave my legs.) A bizarre/funny/weird/incidental finding we discovered this weekend: if I am holding fluid, my (HA!) boobs get bigger. They get tender too...I am so excited-the joys of pregnancy revisited!~(That was SARCASM just in case you missed it-I know I have blonde readers..hehehe)

My right arm is in the hospital (not LITERALLY-the other nurse) and I am lost without her. I wish her well and a speedy recovery~~~she's supposed to go to that beach wedding this weekend! I am so excited...the reception is on a Biloxi Schooner. (I am SO jealous!)

My cat that was sick last week still ain't looking too good. All the other cats and Russ won't get near him, and he acts like something out of Pet Sematary. I swear the vet took his soul.

Wow. That post was a cross between funny and disturbing! =) I loved all of your links though - nice touch!

Hope your sleep study goes well. And hope your cat makes a full recovery - I would probably have to cage it up if it's acting that freaky. The movie Strays comes to mind.... Never wanted another cat again.

Later chick! =) pun intended

Talk about a mix of news! LOL

A little good mixed with the bad all done with a twist of humor and sarcasm!

And

Sounds like mostly good news. We got the results of my mother's monitor done Saturday-Sunday back Tuesday and it wasn't all good news. Hope you don't have to wait long.

You know Ralph used to help run a sleep lab.

Poor kitty. Hope there's improvemente soon. Glad you're making progress as well.

(and I think I could stand to build up some fluid! ha!)

Clucky, no the 'people, people' comment was not meant at you.

It was more of a general, this is not 'greatness'. ROFL..

I am going to see Marty tonight. I would love to meet you before my move to AR. What do you think the chances of that happening? I have enjoyed your comments and we also have a "bad smell" connection.
Good luck with the sleep study, then do you also become a sleep mattress specialist?
