Back in the hospital again.

I just got home from the hospital was there since about 7:00pm. My moms dialysis Doctor called about 6:45 and told me I needed to take her to emergency because her blood pressure was too low. He said she might have an infection or be dehydrated. So we spent all night in the emergency room. It was 2:am before they were able to admit her into a room , So we were in the ER part most of the night. So far she is stable. Its 2:30 am and I will be going back in the morning.
My mom Went back into the hospital tonight. They admitted her , Her blood pressure was 66/33 so they are keeping her in to try and determine what is going on. My shipping maybe delayed 2-3 days. I will still try and get your package out within 48 hours of payment received but if she worsens then it could be a little longer. I wont be able to get the packages out within 24 hours as is my usual handling time. If you are in a hurry for something please let me know and I will process your order as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience. I thought we were done with the hospitals for a while. This is the third week in a row she has been in the hospital. The emergency room was packed. It was a busy night there. Lots of people had masks on and were coughing. All the hospital staff was wearing masks as well. A lot of people are going to Emergency because of all the swine flu stuff on the news. I did hear that in this particular hospital 1 person was diagnosed with the swine flu , that is why all the hospital staff were wearing masks. Pretty scary stuff. Luckily we didn't wait in the waiting room very long so were not exposed to those coming in. I hope all my moms tests come back OK and they release her soon. She wasn't very happy to have to go back to the hospital and was even less happy when they said they were keeping her. Any how gotta go get a few hours of sleep. Good night!

Update

Sorry , I Have been busy haven't had the time to update this post. I was also updating my about me page on ebay too. Its April 23. My mom went back into the hospital on Monday for the surgery for the graft in her leg. The surgery went well and so far so good. She was released from the hospital last night. She seems to be doing well although she complains of a lot of pain in her leg. She was cut into in 2 different places on the leg. It will be a couple of months before the leg is healed able to be used for dialysis. In the meantime they will use the split stream catheter that was put in last week. Now I have to get busy and make all these follow up appointments with all of her doctors. I don't know what happened to April. It seems like the last 2 weeks have been 2 months. I was able to add a bunch of new items for sale in my eBay store. I also added a bunch of auctions with low start prices so you may want to check out my eBay auctions. I also started a sale that will run for a couple of weeks. I next few weeks I hope to add more new items to the store as well. If time permits and if everyone stays well and out of hospitals. Have a great weekend.

Well they released my mom from the hospital this evening. She is home now and sleeping. I sure hope they didnt release her too soon. The tests all came back clear so now we just wait and hope she does OK. Next Thursday she is scheduled to be admitted into the hospital again for surgery to put in a new dialysis access in her leg. She is still pretty weak. At least we have a week to try and get her stronger. Hopefully she will be getting better dialysis and be strong enough for the surgery. I should be back to normal shipping times at least until she goes back in the hospital.

Hospitals are a scary place!

Hospitals sure are scary. My mom is in the hospital right now, since Sunday afternoon. I try to be there as much as I can. Tonight I left after I was sure she ate. Although she is not wanting to eat much. She was running a fever so they gave her Tylenol. I decided to go back to the hospital at 11:00pm to make sure she had a snack. Although I had asked that they give it to her around 10pm I just didn't feel comfortable with it and earlier in the evening she had said to me several times she wanted to go to heaven , which of course upset me tremendously. She kept saying she just didn't feel good. So anyhow I went back to the hospital , she was asleep, I asked if they had given her the protein shake and 1/2 sandwich she was supposed to have as her snack ,they didn't give it to her and they said they were busy. So I got her food, woke her up and made sure she got it and ate it. She said she had to go to the bathroom so I told the nurse and was sitting her up when I realized she was completely soaked. the back of her head. Her hospital gown and sheets were soaking wet. This was due to her fever earlier in the evening around 6pm. So Had I not gone she undoubtedly would have not gotten her snack and laid in a pool of sweat the entire night. The other day she was scheduled for surgery to put in a split stream catheter that was to go in her neck because her dialysis access arm had clotted and was no longer usable. The nurses kept saying it was going in her leg. Three different shifts kept telling me this. I knew it could not go in her leg unless no other option was available ,as now because both her arms have failed they are going to have to put a permanent graft in her leg and should that one ever fail then she only has one other leg to use for an access so it would be really bad if they put something in her leg that was going to create scar tissue and ultimately make it unusable as a access. So I called her main nephrologist and he called the surgeon who had planned on putting it in her leg , to clarify. The nephrologist explained to the surgeon that it needed to go in the neck. So the moral of this story folks is if you or a loved one is hospitalized then please watch, listen and pay attention and ask questions. These people are human and they don't always know whats best. I have seen so many potential mistakes that would have happened had I not been there to intervene. Its sad when you think a hospital is a good place, the nurses are too busy and have to many patients to care for and things get mis-comunicated very easily and also forgotten. It is really hard to see her in this state and being the only one going to sit with her and monitor things. My husband goes to see her too but he is working so mainly it is just me. I end up being the bad guy because I am the one harping on her to eat and get stronger and do all the things that she is trying not to do. I only do it for her own good and keep her healthier. I have been taking care of her for almost 10 years now , It does get very hard to watch her go through these things, it makes me sad. Tonight I broke down and cried trying to hold it in but i guess the stress has just finally caught up with me. I am still trying to fight it. In case you didnt know this all started on Thursday when she fell and hit her head and was bleeding and I had to take her to the E.R. They released her but said to keep a close eye then 2 days after the fall she had a seizure type episode which prompted me take her back to EMergency then they kept her and admitted her into the hospital. They found that her dialysis fistula/access had clotted. They are still running many tests and I am waiting to find out the results. Anyhow Sorry about the long winded stuff just had vent and share. Please keep her in your prayers.
If you have purchased from me please now I got caught up on all orders and if they were paid for they shipped out yesterday morning and the day before. Thank you.

I have been looking for eye glasses Found Costco to have the best price.

I have been looking for a place to get prescription eye glasses and have been shopping around. I was amazed to find that Coscto has the best prices. I can get 2 pairs of glasses there for less than it would cost me to get one pair at a doctors office. Even with not being able to use my insurance it still will be cheaper to go to Costco. So if you are in need of eye glasses then make sure you check out Costco. Their frames are so much cheaper like by a 1/3 and the extras like the UV protection, anti scratch coating are about 1/2 of what other places charges. They even beat out Sam's Club for price. So I thought I'd share this with you. Have a great weekend!
