I have two looooong stents. They go all they way from the vena cava to somewhere around the popliteal space. I love them and knock wood, never have had five seconds of trouble. Filters on the other hand...

No joke! I have a good one for that. My doctor “forgot” to tell me for over two years, that I have MS. :-O

My IR is a god! I would ask him for more and more drugs, so I could cruise, and he was happy to oblige! Also, I was only 11 days postpartum,and I couldn’t see my baby since I was in ICU. So, he would call my husband and Mom that I was scheduled for a procedure so they be in the hallway and give everyone kisses. We’re…

They are good at that and so are pedi nurses.

Don’t dread it. You will be free, not to mention the symbolism about it coming out...

I have been in the hospital five times in two years for major complications, and it’s the nurses who save your life. Even when the doctors are contacted to okay orders, the nurses have already written the order, just need verbal consent. LOVE my nurses!

PICC lines are wicked! I swear the little dangly things hiss and burn, if they aren’t scratching the shit out of you.

Oh, and I have decided not to do something that lands me on Death Row. The last time I got Propofol (milk of amnesia), when I was going under, I said, “Oh, chinga-linga!” No telling what kind of Death Row Tourettes would pop out.

Did you get your catheter already? (I’m sure the answer is here, but I’m in economy mode ;-)) I really don’t mind them much. I just go against instinct and bear down rather than clinching up.

Thanks!

I’m living your nightmare as we speak. I’m 2 days out of the hospital where I stayed for almost 2 weeks. My bowel was dying, I have a bunch of new major blood clots and was on a ventilator in ICU for most of a week because I have pneumonia from aspirating my vomit during a bedside colonoscopy.. I had 2 PICC lines and…

We don’t have 5 or 10 years if the fantasy of some become our reality.

‘Cuz we’re ARISTOCRATS!

Anyone else watch “By the Sea”? Ugh. I don’t know which I wanted to do more; a Karen Silkwood contamination cleanse, or brain bleach followed by clam forks to the eyes.

Thank you!

OMG, I certainly didn’t hit it THAT hard! I went up under it’s legs and scooped him off. I just thought being that close to him and making a fast motion, and then him feeling touched...Cops I used to know wouldn’t shake the hand of strangers, much less let you be that close and swinging.

Yeah, actually the SORT team in the prisons here gear up, and they hold on to the man/woman in front of them as they stomp and vocalize cadence. When the SORT team gears up, you HAD to have a videographer, which I thought was great. Cuts down on a lot of foolishness. I never got used to that and it made the hair on my…

Give it a minute. ;-)

Thelma and Louise for sure! I don’t usually like “pretty boys”, but holy shit, I would give him a big old bag o’ money to spend the night with him. No stealing necessary. Giddyup cowboy!
