In new house.
06.09.08 (10:07 am) [edit]
I'm in guys.
Really long story. Short version.
In the middle of unloading a 28 foot Uhaul, Dave has Dr appt. Incision is red and hard in a circle around it. Incision is 8" long. Dave calls from hospital. They are doing emergency surgery.
Kids are drenched from 24 pack of water bottles they just poured over their heads.
Furniture is still on. Son is sitting down having a 'break'. Tattooed Love Puppy is sitting down having a break. Cool Dude (brother in law that I love dearly) is sitting down having a break. My best friend Twiggy and I are working our asses off.
I am a BIT snippy.
So, I tell them all get off your fucking asses and unload the truck, Daddy has to have emergency surgery and I can't f'ing even hear him.
Dead silence.
They unload.
I stress. Call MIL and ask her to go over to hospital. Tell son to go and get my car which Dave took to hospital.
Unload truck.
Dave calls, they are going to try some sort of needle aspiration under the CT Scan machine.
It works. 70 cc of infection is removed. Antibiotics are started.
Truck gets unloaded.
I didn't collapse.
Furniture is in. Kitchen mostly unpacked. Bed is set up. Everything but a few boxes is in garage, waiting for me to bring in, one box at a time to unpack between Doctor appointments, kids counseling appt's and karate.
Pool is up. Lopsided but UP. Filled. Kids are out in it.
Life is good.

And breathe. Motivation at its best, glad to here the infection has been pulled (sucked out) and the house is on its way.

me too sz. but i think its the MRSA back. I don't think they treated it long enough. Last time he had it before this surgery, it took 3 months of antibiotic therapy to get rid of it. Somehow I just can't believe they did it in five days this time. The culture comes back Thursday so we shall see.

Poor Doc, poor Mom ~ it just doesn't stop does it?
Can you take a dip in the pool and cool off for a bit, too? Hope so!
Then again, if you have AIR CONDITIONING in the house, that works, too!
((hugs))

oh man! - Hope they can get the rest of the infection with meds!
Sending more prayers!
Sounds like you could use a spa day - light a candle and jump in the pool!

Congratulations on getting moved!!! If the infection is MRSA about the only thing that will cure it is Silver water!!! Of course they won't use that...no money in it!!! BUT Bacteria cannot adapt to silver water because it is not a poison to them!! It simply tells an enzyme within to shut down, and the light switch goes off and they can no longer breathe!!! In the old days, they used to keep a silver dollar in the milk, to prevent it's spoilage!!!

Hope hubby has continued to improve.
Stop by when you get a minute
~ and you don't have to wait until all the work is done,
as you'd never be able to stop by. ((hugs))
