[My] Life in Wisconsin

I Need Your Help


Good Morning Everyone;
My rant today.
As I drove home last night, I was seeing a few people already had their little dumpsters out by the road. Calling my neighbor, she said she hadn't heard anything about a day/route change. (Could be the people up the road had their own routes changed then).
Oh well.
To be honest, that is the least of my worries.

Yes, my ear is being stubborn as hell. Coupled now with a bloody nose or two.
Again, 'worrisome' -but unimportant in the whole scheme of things.

  • "Things" = "Life" somehow.
.
If you recall, Casey has an appointment on Wednesday with a surgeon. Perhaps this referral will help. (There's hope there- a chance for enlightenment anyway).

She was at the hospital last Sunday.

  • Bloodwork.
  • Urinalysis.
  • IV pain treatment.

She was sent back home.

She had her own doctor appointment last week then; complete with the referral to the surgeon. Her doctor told her to take Advil since the pancreas swells.
Yes, she has had continued pain since then.

Due to the pain, she had called in sick yesterday morning.
After calling the clinic for 3 hours yesterday morning, (and waiting for a callback that did not come), I drove Casey to the hospital.

  • Bloodwork.
  • Urinalysis.
  • IV pain treatment.

Her pancreatic enzymes were doubled.
She was immediately admitted.

I have heard from various doctors and nurses at these hospitals that pancreatic pain is the absolute worst.

  • As of this moment in time, all I know is that they will be doing still another CT Scan this morning.
  • Her appointment for Wednesday with the surgeon will have to be rescheduled; as one cannot 'annoy' the pancreas further when it is already in such a delicate state.
  • She may still end up back at Froedtert. Mayo was a laugh a minute.

In keeping with my title, I would ask that those of you that are able to do so please link me to either presidential candidate AND their VP's.

This link must not be their own sites.
I already have those.

Nor do I prefer to listen to any more useless scathing rhetoric about either one. In my humble opinion that is only so much BS anyway. And my own bullshit barometer is clearly on "overload"...

Please find me their applied stance on stem cell research.
Please find me where they stand on truly helping a 21 year old with chronic pancreatitis. (Is that even possible)?
How about what avenues are then opened to such a disease?

.
Anyway. I must get in the shower and get up to the hospital. Greg will leave there for work around 7.
Her CT Scan is scheduled for 10 or 11.


Love to all.
And my thanks in advance for any information you may be able to send my way.

I do not even care if your comments turn into a screaming political match.
At that point, I would promise to take only what I need from each little can of worms.
(And I further promise that your friendship is secure no matter what).

XOXO
Anne
