This was supposed to be posted last week...sorry!!!
Wow…where do I begin?? Been a while since I last blogged…and a LOT has happened…both personally and in the big world outside my door!!!!! Let’s see where should I begin??? Let’s go for outside world first.
Well…we have had a lot of celebrity deaths recently, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Walter Cronkite, Oscar Mayer, Steve McNair, Karl Malden, Billy Mays, and the Taco Bell dog. What the heck is going on out in Hollywood??? I won’t comment on all of them…I will just say that you will be missed, and lets move on…
So…those of you who have been keeping up on my statuses…know that we have had a bit of family crises…mostly with my eldest son, who has been sick on and off for the past 5 weeks with a ‘viral fever’. Well after being told it is just a viral fever, give him Motrin, or Tylenol…he got it again last Wednesday. It was up to 102, and Christy took him to the doctor’s for walk-ins in the evening. Well…the doctor finally started to show concern…this one anyway as it is a group of doctors at this facility…and she ordered a blood work test, and an X-ray. So Thursday, we get up early, and take him in for the blood to be drawn. It was more drama of the actual event for him than the pain of the needle. But Jack survived and was happy to get out of there.
Well…then in the afternoon, around 230…I get a call from Christy that our Aunt was taking his temp, while she was on the phone, and was spiking above 103, and hadn’t beeped while she was on the phone. So she called me, and I went to get him to take him to the ER at RWJ in New Brunswick…as they have a children’s hospital. Well…we met up with Christy, and off we went. Getting there was a pain in the ass, as the weather sucked…rain…I know, unheard of in NJ lately right?? Anyway, we had to take ALL BACKROADS…because no one knew how to drive in the rain, and there were accidents everywhere!!! Took us 90 minutes to get there!!!
So we get there, and we finally after some proper guidance, get to the children’s ER, and get put into trioche…waiting…and waiting…and waiting some more. See a doctor, and it is decided to do more blood work, as the place we did it at in the morning, was closed. Oh and they wanted a chest X-ray too. UGH!!!!!!!!!!! Poor Jack, he cried, and cried, but he did it…and was happy to hear he would get a big prize in return. He thought the X-ray was the coolest thing in the world…LOL
So…we ended up sitting there for 6 hours…I was done at 5…They finally discharged us, as he had no fever, and got most of the test results in, as I think there was one they never got by the time we left. They told us that some of his blood work came back elevated. What does that mean?? They never told us, just said to see an Infectious disease Specialist. Oh…at this point I feel so much better…NOT!!!!!
So the next day, Christy takes Jack to his doctor appt…and she schedules for Jack to have an Ultrasound on his neck. I take him this past Tuesday in the afternoon. No worries…yet…then later in the evening…I get a call, from the doctor who has the results in of the Ultrasound. It would seem that his Lymph Glands are enlarged, and also, he has some elevated levels in his blood work. NO SHIT DOC…tell me something I don’t know!!! What does it mean?? Not telling us…WTF???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So now the doctor wants us to schedule a CT scan of his neck. Are you kidding?? Why?? We just wanna check some things out and be sure. Sure of what?? You haven’t told us ANYTHING!!! So, we didn’t do the CT scan, and went on Thursday to the IDS doctor at the Children’s Hospital in New Brunswick. Can I just say what a fucking relief? She answered our questions, put our mind at ease…no more super worrying, or wondering all the ‘what if’ possibilities!!! The swollen glands are nothing to fear, the illness is called an Ando Virus, which is just a viral fever disease that kids can get during the summer, it is rare, but can happen. Then just to be safe, Jack had to do one more blood test, and if anything came back abnormal, she would be contacted immediately, and would call us to set up that CT scan. So…all is well again. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers.
Let’s see…what else?? Hmmm…what is it with idiot drivers today?? Last night on my way to WW weigh-ins, I was at a corner cause of a stop sign, waiting to make my turn. A clearing finally came from the cars, when I noticed a guy riding his bicycle, so I waited for him to pass. I happen to look to my right, and I see this FUCKIN JACKASS come barreling down the road wanting to make a left on the street I am on. He sees that cyclist, he will wait. He gets closer, he will pause I know it…guess what…FUCKER didn’t pause. He cut the cyclist off. Well sort of, as the cyclist was aware of the ASSHOLE driver approaching, and he was able to stop in time, before ending up a hood ornament. I threw my hands up in the air, and yelled WHAT THE FUCK??? Only to realize, my window was closed!!! Oops…the dumbass dickhead didn’t hear me. I looked at the cyclist, he looked at me, we shook our heads, I let him go, and away I went.
Speaking of WW Weigh-ins…the results are in…and I am ECSTATIC!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!! I weighed in last night, and lost 3.6 from last week, meaning I had made my 5% goal by .2 lbs. I have lost a total of 12.8 pounds, from 251.2 when I started. I lost that in 5 months. GO ME!!! I feel great, I am eating better, I am exercising more, and I am able to keep up with the kiddies, w/o having to take a break!!! I love it…time for the next goal which is to get down to 226…that’s the next 5%. That would put me at over a 25 pound loss!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lemme see…what else??? Hmmmm…have you ever worked with people who just seem to have no real purpose or value, yet they end up being put in charge of you…and they leave you to do everything?? They say they are doing stuff, then take a few days off…asking you to take care of what is on their desk, and then it turns out they did nothing but sat on the projects for a fucking week??? WTF???!!!
What is up with all this rain?? I just got my motorcycle license, and I wanna ride more, practice more, get my bearings, and I can’t with all this flipping rain!!! WTF???!!! Bring out the sun!!!!
When will young people start thinking about others and stop being self centered little pricks/bitches/assholes??? I know of someone who is using and abusing everyone around their family, leaving them to watch their kids, so they can go out and do what they want!!! Uh hello…you are a parent…that’s not how it works!!! You have a responsibility now. Kids first…yourself last!!! The way it is!!!
Did anyone else get a kick out of the ‘Beer Diplomacy’ effort by President Obama concerning the Harvard Professor & the Cops?? Think he should do that with all the other world leaders?? Come on North Korean Leader (whose name escapes me, and I don’t feel like looking it up)…let’s go have a couple pints and discuss this nuclear thing logically??!!! Hmmm…
Ok…I think I have said enough for now!!! Have a Nice Day!!!!
