Well this is going to be another BLARG blog.... I am so frustrated, I did not get very much sleep at all last night. With John's mom being in the hospital again (I swear, Darrin or Ed if you are reading this and John finds out I posted this he will kill me since he hasn't contacted you guys yet!).... heh... and Nancy having died last night, I am very frustrated. Last night John's mom was taken by ambulance because she could not even sit up in bed, she hadn't had much of an appetite for the last while, and was only eating partial meals. Well, to make a long story short, the ER was packed last night, she finally got to one of the ICU departments at midnite... oddly enough, my friend Nancy was in the same hospital and died last night, I'm wondering if she was in the same ICU, let alone the same room... very eerie... Nancy never really bounced back from her heart attack, and last night when a friend went to visit, Nancy was not responsive, so they called Code Blue, and she was gone. I first met Nancy when I got a job at the blind center and we had been pretty good friends for awhile, but shortly before my Dad died, for some reason Nancy and I became more and more distant. I have a lot of guilt in my heart...
Nancy's friend Debbie was supposed to be my travel companion for the Mexico trip... but she decided not to go now and move back into Nancy's house until things get worked out, Nancy had no will or durable power of attorney or anything. Grand Circle Travel wants to charge me an extra $250 in Debbie's absence even though I paid insurance... they mumbled something about paying the insurance back but I'd still have to pay double occupancy for the room for two weeks in various locations. I was ready to give them my CC #, mom got off her phone call and stopped me and she's pissed... I went out to the hospital later, and mom said she was going to give them a call after she had company come and go. When I got home she was sacked out so who knows what's going to happen.
John told me Sara has kenotosis but I can't find much on that, I think he's got the wrong word, because from what I did find that just pertains to motion sickness. Sara's electrolites are really out of whack, along with her sugar and potassium. They moved her to a regular room today and claimed she MIGHT be going home tomorrow but I'm not very optimistic. I've been trying to hound John via text stating I think he got the wrong word for Sara's diagnosis, but haven't heard back from him. Scott, who just finished a medical term. class, was going to try to help as well, but without knowing fully what the word is we're at a loss. This morning, Sara's sugar was 68-69, this afternoon it was 555, it had been bouncing all over the place, and they were trying to feed her a standard diet, some with high sugar, and juice... Tomorrow I have my Stanford Neurology consultation... right now I just want to hide under a rock for awhile, I didn't get very much sleep last night due to agitation..
I'll keep you guys posted...I don't know how useful I'll be for cooking on Thursday.
