Trying to decide if I need to try and rush off to Texas now. Daughter in ER, being admitted to hospital with pancreatitis for 3 or 4 days. Then when she is well enough she will have her gallbladder removed. Very worried about her.

But if I go, there is nothing I can do to help. ☹️ And due to Covid they probably won’t even let me see her. 😞. Ugh, just ugh.

Oh no Aneeda, I am so sorry. Praying your daughter gets better soon. I know it is hard not to be with her but as you said they probably won't let you in to be with her. What a time you are having! Plus you are still healing yourself. I hope things get better for you soon.
 

Today will be a busy day for me, but I know the week-end should be quiet so I will not panic that I can't get things done today. Today I am of course, still working on setting up my programs in my new laptop. And this afternoon we are having a coffee hour in our community room. I will try to get a load of laundry done this morning but I am way behind on it once again. Right now just having coffee and seeing what you all have been up to.

Saw my orthopedic surgeon yesterday. He said he was unable to get the leg half, of the hip, all the way in correctly. Said it wouldn’t go in completely and he had to leave it that way cause he was afraid my upper thigh would shatter 😳. He tired to adjust the fit by making the ball part smaller.

A small part of the incision is still not healed and their is a little infection but he said it should be fine. It will still be a least 2 more months until it’s healed.
 
@Aneeda72 ........sad this is happening to you with your hip.
When i got my knee replacements done.....1 in 2014......1 in 2016.
The ones i got, thanks to a great surgeon......are called Visionaere.
6 weeks before my surgeries.....had the usual xrays PLUS an MRI.
The MRI and xrays were sent to a company in the states.....made my custom fit knees.....but.....told not to do anything dumb that would change the fit of my knees.....saw them in a box just before my surgery.....awesome.
They are porcelain, if taken care of, should last 30 years.....no screws....just cement.
They weren't handed out to many, my younger age may have had a good option, and a great surgeon.
Shortly after i got both of mine, the government, deleted this kind.....apparently they're very.....very.....very expensive to the Health System.
Lucky me.

I hope your hip heals better come more time.
 
Hospital confirmed that daughter is not allowed to eat or drink anything for 4 days which, I guess, is standard treatment. She is on an IV, for fluids, and getting very strong pain meds. She had an MRI last night, no results yet. Doctors think a gall stone is stuck and blocking the drainage from her pancreas. 😮

She said with a 3 year old daughter, 6 dogs, a large house and yard to care for, her work from home schedule, and a husband; it might be necessary for her to stay 6 or 7 days in the hospital instead of 3 or 4. 😳

Hmm, she might be getting too many pain meds. 😂😂😂
 
I went to the dreaded Dept. of Revenue this morning. Had my masks on and nobody in the place did. Then there was two lanes and I waited 30 minutes for them to be processed. The guy on the left was so outrageously extroverted he had taken his cell phone out to show both ladies his picture the day before with long hair ( now it was short )! He told them about having his DWI, and that he was from another state, and asked them where a near doughnut shop was. He didn't stop, the whole time.
The other lane was a young girl probably getting her first license, so that took about 30 minutes. Geez! I walked up and was finished in 5.

I don't like going to town very much anymore. 🙃

So what the orthopedic doctor said is "One size , doesn't fit all?"
Hmmm?
With the modern devices that are used to scan our bodies,, couldn't he see that problem Before he started to work on your hip?

Guess I expect too much from doctors?

Get well.

It was not about fit, it was about hammering the part that goes into the thigh bone. It would not go as far as it should and he felt if he hammered it any harder, further; he would shatter my thigh bone. So he made an adjustment to the ball.
 
Finally getting my laundry done today. Putting together a box of clothing I do not wear/or like for some reason. One of my friends at the coffee hour said she'd like them. Making room! Happy about that and that I do not have to drive somewhere to donate. After that, I will be working on my computer most of the day. Still setting programs up on it.
 
When I went on my early walk at 6:30 to buy local paper,no wind it was already 73,came back watered the plants/flowers in garden
Yesterday talked with my friend Marcia asked if son,Dave &girlfriend,Cait were feeling any better,both have Covid symptoms{both were vaccinated}.He has fever,her sense of smell is compromised, has headaches I'm keeping them in my nightly prayers
I have no plans today except do my laundry,this afternoon may go sit in garden in the shade reading my book
 
Well the day just started (it's 2:10 a.m.) so I don't know what I'll be doing later except trying to deal with prepping for my colonoscopy tomorrow. But I got a lot accomplished in the last couple of days. I finally "attacked" my dresser and cleaned up the rest of the house. I also swept the patio again. I got a double load of laundry done (I only use the double load machines), this time with my son's assistance. I did several little things of the "I can't do this until I do that" category. I really procrastinate when it comes to doing those types of things. I re-started my exercise program walking with Leslie Sansone. Since I'm starting slowly, I only walked a mile each day.
 
I was awaken this morning around 6 hearing a siren in the distance couldn't get back to sleep.
It was 70 degrees already,so I got dressed and went to water the plants/flowers in community garden
My long walk of the day,strolling to/from church{6 blocks}service starts at 10:30
This afternoon,my friend Mary&I are going on 'road trip' to friend's house for cookout Don who lives here,his partner, Dave{doesn't} its his house we are going to,he lives in suburb of Buffalo{Lackawanna}.I've been there a couple times,Mary has never been. It will be a perfect way to end the weekend
I'm not zooming with family today,everybody is doing something else
 
@Aneeda72
I am concerned about Aneeda's daughter being ill, and hoping that she's okay.:confused:

@OneEyedDiva
Thinking of you, with your prep today, and the procedure tomorrow, that will both be good to get behind you.

I'm saying hello to everyone else here. 🙋‍♀️:giggle:

Colorful, bright flowers bloom in the small garden space here, for a short time, this time of the year! I enjoy seeing them, very much.

@katlupe
I tend to save emptied boxes as you said you do too,
just in case.
Yep, that's the same reason that I do it.;):rolleyes::LOL:
Perhaps, if we back each other up, on that, then we could each save fewer , and for a shorter length of time, because both of us would be knowing, that I could give mine, or you could give yours,
JUST in case, either of us need any.
:D:LOL::ROFLMAO::love:
