Rather eventful two days. On Wednesday, I had to take Dad for an endoscopy and a colonoscopy. He's lost a rather significant amount of weight in a very short time. And they found... nothing. Nothing out of the ordinary. Cauterized a blood vessel in his stomach and removed a benign polyp (isn't polyp a funny word?). Nothing to account for the weight loss.
He was diagnosed in September with type 2 diabetes. His weight in May of 2006 was 195lbs on a 6' frame. A wee bit of tummy pudge but that was it. His weight Christmas day was 154 lbs. His diabetes has been controlled by diet since late October. No readings over 120. Most under 100. So it's not that. PSAs are good, lungs clear, nothing abnormal. So who knows?
Thursday the daughter had her gallbladder removed. Her surgeon says it's only the second totally non-functioning gallbladder he's ever seen. Huh, imagine. There are no stones, no blockages, nothing at all but the bile doesn't come out of the gallbladder. They did some sort of radioactive marker test to see the bile leave her gallbladder and it doesn't. Upon stimulation nothing happens. Very long day at the hospital.
I still think that any invasive surgery should allow an overnight stay. This 7 hours in recovery and go home stuff is insane. Infection takes more than 7 hours to rear it's ugly head and they should know that.
On another note, I have this cyberstalker thing going on *waves to the cyberstalker*. She can't post to my journal b/c it's f'locked so she decided to find me in various communities and post hateful stuff there about me. The only communities I post in don't allow anonymous posting with one exception. That's been remedied. Since I turned on IP tracking and disabled anonymous posting in
knitting_chat she posted once and I managed to nab her IP address. Gosh trolls are stupid. If you're going to stalk, learn to spoof your IP. Did some magical stuff and poof, we have the username of the twit on another forum. Hey YouKnowWhoYouAre! Thanks for stalking by! Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!
Tax season SO needs to be over. I'm tired, I'm sick of people and I don't give a rat's ass as to whether you think it's unfair that the goverment won't let you take your bellydancing lessons as a tax deduction for health care. Just put on your big girl panties and deal with it.
Coworkers and I have decided a good drunk is called for tonight so that's where I'm at. If you know my cell phone number, call me and I'll blabber to you in a drunken haze.
