I think she'll be OK. She told me she is having a very nasty reaction to one of her MS medications. She's in a tremendous amount of pain, but they've got her on meds to help with that. I dunno how long she'll be in the hospital, but I will update with any new info I learn.

Damn, hope everything will be fine. Keep us posted. Simon is such a good boy. I come home from work and I see a coughed up hairball on the floor. I wasn't too pleased. I cleaned it up. Then I open the living room door, open the window on the screen door and put a chair in front of it so he can jump up and look outside. He likes that. Then, while I was making supper, a father, with his son who is in boy scouts (musta been about 5 or so) come to our door for a donation or whatever. But little Simon the guard cat starts growling and hissing and scares the kid. They don't even bother ringing our doorbell. It totally made up for the hairball he coughed up. I'm so proud of my little, guard kitty. He's so protective of our home. ;D

Hehe he sounds like such a great cat. Mine don't really react to visitors, they either acted excited to see someone they know, or run like hell and scatter if they don't know the person. Haven't heard anything new about Dej today.

Talked to Dej today. She's feeling better, and should be home soon, with luck.

Hospitals SUCK!
I have been in this silly place for a week now, and damnit I want to go home.
Turns out this whole thing is due to my meds that I take for MS. it has been really whomping me with pancreatitits. I was in an amazing amount of pain, but 1mg of dilaudid per hour with an endless supply has been helpful. Also all the zofran and or phenergan I can handle has been wonderful. They put a pic or central line IV in my arm, so no more daily IV stuff. this one line can stay put for up to one year without being changed. SWEET!
I was started on jello type foods today and while I gave most of it back, I am working hard to keep some. it is a requirement to go home. The nurses, and this place have been amazing! I am hooked on NH medical care. They have gone way out of their way to make sure I am comfortable and well medicated.
I hope to go home on Monday, so give me a few days past that and I will be back. This whole event took a sizeable bite out of me. sheesh!

They sent her home today, but they are testing to see if she'll do alright at home. Knowing her, she demanded to come back home. So, she may have to go back. But for now, good news!

Now, bad news again! She's back in the hospital, and they may have to remove part of her intestine because she contracted Colitis from the medication side effects. Also, her 25 year old cat, Morgan, isn't doing too well, and they may have to put her down. Apparently she's gone completely blind.

HOSPITALS SUCK! Yep, I am back in the hospital and I was pretty sick. My stomach, and a peice of my intestine have stopped working. there are loads of theories out there, about why, and what caused it, but thus far, no concrete proof. There are some really rare things that we are left testing for, and one of them appears likely. The thing is, that if this is the disease I have, it means I wont have ms! There are more than 100 diseases that can mimic MS, and its really a hard disease to pin down. They are thinking now that I may have Porphyria. really painful flares, but at least it wont land you in a wheel chair like MS. I am getting good meds, and lots of them. Dont fear for me, im stoned half the live long day. They are refusing to let me out, as I am still very dehydrated, and my lab work keeps going sideways. At least I am feeling tons better. Thanks for all the kind words. Im pretty tough to kill. I dont think this stupid whatever disease can even make a dent. I will be back and playing soon enough.

Since last we talked I have been back in the damn hospital! I spent another week or so in there! I am home now, and feeling quite a bit stronger. Thanks for all the support. Hospitals suck! I am happy to be home. all in all April was a bad month for me. I started April one with IV treatments and was released from the hospital on April 30th. a whole month wasted!

Did they ever find out if you have something else that isn't MS? I've been really worried about you all month. Are you really feeling better now? Also, how is Morgan? If you don't wanna say so here, drop me an e-mail.
