First, :congrats:Yes/No in over 12,000 posts!! You're a keeper!
Appreciated the Bashara links, and the many informative posts this morning.
Ahhh, the smell of burning leaves is very good.

Niner, I am losing sleep over this whole thing as you and your DH must be as well. First, who in the heck is in CHARGE of his care? One doctor. Like a primary physician. Like the Quaterback? Who is calling the shots? Typically there is ONE doctor who brings in the specialists to treat and diagnose the varying medical issues.

Please forgive me because the medical part of my pea brain that is working has been trying to make sense of all this. There has to be a working diagnosis. There is a reason why he has weight loss, low RBC counts requiring transfusions, needs a pacemaker, all of it. Out of what field did they decide a bone marrow aspiration was warranted?

This is no joke. Your poor DH is really sick. I don't know where you live or the access to medical care. I hope and pray he has Medicaid or Medicare. I am overstepping here with my confused addled brain, but your DH needs a professional physician calling the shots and coordinating his care so that it is not up to you to do it. Who is advocating for you and your DH? I wish I was there, so I could use my ER voice (which tends to scare people and get results) and help you figure things out. If my DH MD was confused as to what they were doing from the small bit of info you shared, I can't imagine what you are going through.

Please, please DEMAND a meeting of all the physicians so you can get an idea of what the TOTAL treatment plan is, not just bits and pieces. On a positive note, the RBC not only made him pinker, but probably helped him breathe better as he didn't have enough cells carrying oxygen. I am just so very sorry you are going through this. Please forgive my forthrightness. It is my lack of oxygen talking... I care.

Thanks, Zuri. I have to agree with all you wrote. I am very concerned for Niner's husband. And for Niner's own emotional state..... this is such an anxiety-provoking situation.

Niner, you are very loved here. :loveyou:

 

[Zuri]

Being ill, forced to do nothing, manic on steroids: I have bought everything on eBay, joss and Main, Overstock, etc. I even bought a new bed. I am getting boxes everyday and I have no idea what I have ordered. I have new towels and sheets though, books, and I guess some things I needed as I threw everything else out.

So if you all need anything, I probably have it. Send me your list. Christmas is coming.

Thank you, but I don't need anything (I'm trying to get rid of things, too).

Buttttt- I did buy some new towels, too. The are not regular size towels, but bath "sheets". Nice and big (35" X 65"). My younger son likes the large towels and I have gotten use to them also.

Andddddddddddd:

I just found the most comfortable bra I have ever worn (and bought a weeks worth- not that I need that many as I don't wear a bra at home and only venture out in the world maybe 2-3 a month, but who knows, they may discontinue them one day {I hate when they do that!]).

Take a look:

Hanes® Smooth Foam Wireless Bra - HU05

http://www.jcpenney.com/hanes-smoot...gerie/shop-/bras/hanes/_/N-1nohpiZwk/cat.jump

A little expensive, but worth it, IMO. They are so comfortable- just like wearing nothing, but adequately holding everything in place.

Why 'No Bra Day' Is So Problematic, As Explained By Twitter

""No Bra Day" is apparently a thing.
The unofficial "holiday" is more of a social media campaign, timed this year to occur during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Women are encouraged to go braless and post photos using the hashtag #NoBraDay...."

re bold and colors:
no body actually... He does have a "primary" physician, but he's NOT doing anything!! He is the one who sent Huz to the Hematologist - thank goodness. The Hematologist seems to be doing all the diagnosis now; he seems really concerned - actually the first doctor who IS concerned about Huz's condition!

The Hematologist is the one who ordered the bone marrow extraction. I did get an appointment for him for this coming Monday. They said it would take 5 to 6 hours to do this procedure! I guess he'll be put to sleep for this - at least Huz is Hoping they will!

He has MediCal - they are paying for everything! Thank goodness!!

I'm the one advocating for his appointments and tests!! and raising holy hell if I don't get my way!

and yes he is breathing better from the units of RBC! I also just made an appointment with the hematologist for getting the test results from the bone marrow extraction.
and the care center is sending him home next Wednesday. They will also include a physical therapist and a nurse to come to our house. He is walking a lot better than he was, I guess that's why they are sending him home, as they can't do anything else for him. As they told me yesterday, they are not a hospital and can't help him anymore... so we shall see how that goes!

Cradle to Grave

"Homicide Hal has always been concerned that the Noe case is a ditzel.

[sidebar]The renowned forensic pathologist thought the case might be a ditzel back in 1963, when he did the autopsy on the sixth healthy infant that Art and Marie Noe had lost to “crib death.” And he was completely honest with that nun who called him at the medical examiner’s office in 1966 to inform him that the Noes were listing him as a reference on their adoption application — after having lost a record nine babies..."

Philadelphia Mother Is Charged With Killing 8 of Her 10 Babies

"PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5 (1998)— A 70-year-old woman was charged with first-degree murder today in the suffocation deaths of 8 of her 10 children starting almost half a century ago.

The woman, Marie Noe, smothered the children with a pillow or other soft object, District Attorney Lynne M. Abraham said. The children, all of whom were declared healthy at birth and were developing normally, were 13 days to 14 months old when they died over a 19-year period, beginning in 1949..."

Ah yeah Marie Noe. Just like Waneta Hoyt who murdered six of her babies, and Baden called it murder also. Then there is Mary Beth Tinning who only had one change of murder out of the nine babies she killed.

Hey! :wave:

I'm :laughing: here on the bra chocolates! Good one!

Okay - I'm a dummy... :blush: but how do you know if you need an A, B, C, or D cup ?? :waitasec: never understood that! I know I'm a 36! I guess I might try a "C" cup than??!! :thinking: any suggestions?

Did I tell you all that the Huz gets to come next Wednesday!?? :happydance: he's looking forward to it too! He'll get his physical therapy here, as they don't always come to get him for his therapy there...

So... he gets his bone marrow extract next Monday, Oct. 19th, and than has an appointment with his hematologist, Tuesday, Oct. 27th for the results! Crossing my fingers and praying that the results will be a "simple" solution to his problems! At least getting his red blood cell count up there! Than he can get his pacemaker!

Okay - I'm undecided on "what" to do...
On August 26th I saw my primary doctor for just a six month check (actually, just to renew my Celebrex), I weighed 145; than on Oct 7th I saw my orthopedic surgeon, I weighed 140. Today on my scale at home it says 135. So that means I've lost 5 pounds in a week. So I'm wondering if my thyroid problem has come back; I told the Huz about the weight loss, but he thinks it's because I've more active than usual. In the first of September for 5 days I did a LOT of walking at the Latvian Song & Dance Festival; coming back home, I was jumping up and down (from reading WS ) helping the Huz for stuff he needed. So am I losing weight because of all the walking, etc. or my thyroid problem has returned. I know the first time it was actually stress that screwed up my thyroid (trying to find my daughter), and now it's stress related to the Huz getting so sick, plus my little bro dying. What do you think? :thinking:

Okay - off to read my book :book:
See you all tomorrow!

I think you are losing weight because your DH isn't cooking anymore, (and you hate to/don't cook) maybe not eating on any schedule, running around with all your DH's thingy's, and also that you are all stressed out because of what's been going on????

Niner, I agree with Y/N ..... you are doing the cooking and it isn't the same as your hubby's good skills. Bet you aren't eating as much or as regular, and all the extra stress and physical activity is taking off the pounds.

Glad your hubby will be home soon.

Measure under the bust area, then measure the fullest part of bust. The difference in inches is what determines cup size.
