What Annoyed You Today? (3 Viewers)

I can sympathise there Maria. I accidentally hit myself in the jaw a couple of months back (I know, somewhat stupid!), and lost a bottom molar. Now it feels like the top one is coming out too. Not much i can do, just let things take their course.

Damn Terry, what IS it with us and teeth???
You've got my full sympathy, it sounds like one of those silly things I could've done myself.

Well Having to fix my car 200$ this week and then another 200$ next then Ill probably have to spend another 150 the week after that And they still have not found out where the short is. Been having to fix everything except what I want, as everything else wants to start going bad on me at the same time.

Blackberry Curve shat its brains out today. Just went nuts and started in on a reboot cycle (hourglass loading symbol, screen flash, black for about 10 seconds, then rinse and repeat. Endlessly.) Found some instructions online dealing with this problem, two different sites had the same walkthrough (other than "take it back and get a new phone", as 99% of the sites stated). Had to frikkin reload the entire Blackberry operating system. Rah. But, at least its up and running again, and no $$$ outta my pocket.

Have come down with another case of WODS (Warmed Over Death Syndrome). Right eat has an infection, right side of my face, neck, and shoulder are sore., Sinuses are causing problems, and I can't see straight. Anti-biotics are slow to react, gonna have to see the Doctor again in a day of two if things don't start working right again!
Seems to be my spring ritual the last couple years, I guess things could be worse

Dad got hospitalized again today, ambulance and all.
It turns out that he couldn't take the medicine they gave him the last time, so he fainted this morning while sitting on the kitchen chair. Fortunately mom was there to help him and call 112. (Danish emergency call number)
Mom's gonna visit him tomorrow, today they're going to do a lot of tests on him and do blood samples and all, so today he'll just be needing all the rest he can get.
The thing that bugs me most, apart from my dad being ill and mom suddenly being alone at home, is that you can't DO a damn thing about it! ARGH!!!
F**k it's frustrating!

Hang in there Maria

 

[Wayne Little]

yeah, hang in there Maria....

 

[BikerBabe]

Thanks guys, I'm hangin' alright. *yawn* Or...slouching, is prolly more like it.

I hope all goes well Maria, got my fingers crossed for you all. Some books on CD on the way you to might help take your mind off things for some light relief.

Aw, thanks Terry! *hug*
I'm going to visit dad tomorrow at the hospital together with mom, I hope the guys at the hospital can say more about what's wrong, and what can be done.

I'm sure they'll get things sorted. It's not uncommon to have a reaction to medication, so once they find the right 'stuff', all should be well. Let us know how things are after your visit.

Thanks Terry, I will.
You're right about the medicine, they've cut down on dad's medication with 50 %.
He's set to undergo tests tomorrow, so our guess is that they're keeping him hospitalized tomorrow, too - and then we'll see what happens.
I was supposed to go to work today at the museum, but my boss was kind enough to take over and step in instead of me, so I suggested that I do one of his sunday turns instead.
He was happy about that, and we'll sort it out later this week.
Thank God for understanding bosses!
So mom and I go see dad today, and hopefully things'll turn around for the better eventually.
At least I know that dad's well looked after at the hospital - they monitor practially everything at the cardio-whatever-it's-called-thing, so at least dad's in good hands.

Sounds good Maria, and it's normal to keep a patient in hospital for monitoring after a change of, or new medication.
My annoying thing today? The upper molar which has been loose since I accidentally thumped myself in the face fell out this morning, which in itself is OK, as at least it's now sorted! But the small amount of blood and other gunge which followed it went all over a 'fresh on this morning' new shirt - b*ll*cks!!

*hands Terry the glass with water and a teaspoonful of 2 % peroxide solution in it for washing the mouth, grabs the shirt and hand washes it*
At least the %¤% thing came out!
Oh, and a good trick with stuff that's hard to get clean when washing clothes, is to rub a lot of hand soap into the fabric on the dirty spot, let it work for 5-10 mins, and then rinse. (- a bar of soap works best)
It works like a charm on my shirt collars after a day in Copenhagen (= BLACK icky collars!), coffee and tomato sauce spots. Wash while the spots are still fresh.
And dried blood is best removed with cold water with some salt in it, then the hand soap treatment, and finally washing.

No problems Maria - I put a bit of milk on it, which 'lifts' the blood, followed by salt, then rinsed it. It's now clean - but wet!!

Cool thing you got it done.

I visited mom today, and she told me that dad had called her to ask if she would pick him up at the hospital.
So she did, and when I got to my parents' place, dad was taking a much needed nap, and mom and I had coffee while she told me what they had said at the hospital.
It turned out that all of dad's tests, blood samples and all were just fine, so it was the medication that knocked him out.
So they got all of the tests done that were supposed to be done tomorrow, so now he won't have to go back tomorrow for the scheduled tests.
And he was totally knackered when he got home, so he had a much needed huge nap.
There were a lot of noise at the hospital, people opening and closing doors, moving things around, watching tv and all, so dad hadn't slept very well. To top it off, sleeping in a strange place with people you don't know, and lots of things going on - no, dad was definitely happy to be back home again and catching up with the sleep he hadn't gotten at the hospital.
So now we're all knackered - but happy that dad's back home.
