~ Saturday Update ~

           DsDesignstheButterflyis.gif picture by 55hockeyfan


I've started this entry what seems like a gazillion times and just kept starting over.  For a change it wasn't AOL, it's me.  Seems like I have a million things to say and just can't put them into words.  I've been in a 'funk' the last few days and can't seem to get out of it.  Emotions have run wild, and I've had what seems like anxiety attacks.  Not sure.  Being home alone this past week I know I haven't been eating right.  Been living off a ton of fresh fruit.  At first I thought it was a  natural sugar high, but not so sure anymore.  Maybe it's just the effects of all that has been happening around here. 

 

My brother is still in the hospital.  The results of the scan showed the infection is in his bones but the Dr. feels they will be able to treat it with antibiotics and he will not lose his foot.   He will have a blood test on Monday to check white blood cells, and they will put in a port so he can do IV antibiotics from home.  Lets hope he gets out of there Monday. 

 

Holy shit!  I just noticed the time.  My mind is going in different directions and I can't seem to focus on anything... I think I'm going to go lay down and hope I feel a bit better.  

 

Hugs

fresh fruit, always a good choice but add some protein girl!  I hope the blood work comes back OK, at least putting the port in will give him a little bit of respite and hopefully he'll be home soon.

Only an American could say they haven't been eating right, eating fresh fruit! ;-) You are just worried about your bro at the mo. Don't worry, we are still sending good vibes across the ocean to him and you.

 Sometimes those infections take awhile to get cleared up.  Hope everything straightens out soon.

Bone infections are hellish to treat, Donna. Hope your brother will recover soon. Just take it easy, you deserve it :-)

Donna
I'm glad you went to take a nap.  You've got to take care of yourself, girl or you will be no good helping the others.  I'm glad the doctors feel that that your brother will not lose the foot.  Good news, there!  Now, what can we do about your funk?  Its just not like you.  Hope you get to feeling better.

I'm glad that your brother appears to be on the mend and will not lose his foot.  As for you, based on my personal experiences, stress will do that to you.  Take a bubble bath, read a really good book and work in some exercise!!  I love your butterfly graphic!  Linda

Going to e mail you in a mo D. What's been happening ? I hope your Brother's okay, bless him. You sound as though you're run to the ground and rest is probably the best thing for you...Wish I was there to help. You get some rest and give your Brother my best wishes for a speedy recovery. Thinking of you  x x x

D, I had no idea.  I do hope you're feeling better now.  Natural sugar can make you feel ill, especially if you're not eating anything else.  Get some food in you!  Hope the nap helped.

Lay off the fresh fruit and have a broiled ribeye steak!!  STAT!!  Stilling sending good vibes to you and the brother.

hugs,

Donna, you are not super woman..lol.  Seriously, you have had so much going on with your sister being ill, your parents moving, now your brother.  It all catches up emotionally.  Hang in there but remember I'm only an e-mail or IM away if you need an ear...k?  (That tube looks so much like your bug...sweet!)  Love ya, Chris

Just getting on the computer for me is hard at times...I think you do great with your entries.  I know the feeling with natural sugar highs...some good, some bad.   Hope things settle down soon.  Your brother is still in prayer...happy they feel antibiotics will help...keep us updated.  Hope all goes well with his blood test Monday.  Hope you have a lovely weekend...what's left of it.  Hugs and love,
Joyce
