Weak Today, Weak Yesterday
Just hoping I can make it all the way to the 3rd of November without needing to check in to emerg. So weak..

My best buddy
In sickness and in health. Plus with her help and commitment to a higher purpose, we got to master the fine art of the dutch oven and how to properly can a Turkish gentleman.
Me and my favourite wife
in the ER high on denial and defense mechanisms
The most loyal friend of all
But loyalty can be annoying. She hadn't seen me for a month after my last stay in the hospital. The first thing she tried to do upon seeing me was feed me (after yelling my name in joy). But loyalty can be annoying because she expects it all back in return and more. I still haven't honed my bird stroking skills and ability to regurgitate food into her beak. Guess I'm not such a good friend after all.
Good friends
Good friend... But if she keeps farting under my nose, showing off that colon of hers she may just wake up one day on a bed of ice with a missing colon. I'd love to see the surgeons face when they open me up and find a 1.5 foot canine colon loosely transplanted into my body.
I'm going to do the unthinkable and raise my prednisone up a half a pill. I don't know if I'll make it otherwise..... Let's hope that prednisone helps.
ReplyDeleteHang in there... if you ever feel like venting to someone that's been in your shoes, feel free to email me... geminisunsets529@gmail.com. I know it's hard to stay positive at times, but keep trying!
ReplyDeleteIf you have to go to emerg, then you have to go to emerg. It's not the worst thing in the world. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYeah but in emerg you get a surgeon-generalist whose job is to save your life, but is unlikely to do the job laparoscopically. And sorry to be a stats-freak but that means a 5X higher chance of herniation + a higher chance of obstructions due to scar tissue. But I guess you are right it's not the worst thing in the world. It sucks but is definitely not the worst thing. Thanks for the perspective reminder!
