Look closely for the tractor... Finally! ~ a bit of badly~needed attention for the fields...
Good Afternoon Everyone;
I am behind. (So what else is new)?
I wanted to try to get a bit caught up before we left for Casey's treatment this morning. Didn't work. But here I am, finishing it now - hehehe
I am on my laptop- Greg will be rescuing my desktop computersaurus one of these days.
Seems as I broke it...
I repeat, "So what else is new?!?
Casey had a rough week, last- They will be doing blood tests before she is treated today, and hopefully we can all remember that she is to get her B-12 shot also. (Forgotten last week, but she is on quite a regimen of daily vitamins/mineral by mouth also).
I brought her to the hospital on Friday. Too much pain.
They treated her pain, I brought her home and that was that.
Mostly, as you well know by now, she does cope quite well with that pain- Just that sometimes it becomes very overwhelming for her. (For me too -as I can only pray and have to watch her to be in pain).
This is the first time since her TP/AIT (12-2008), that her pain was at a level 10. She said it is very comparable to her chronic pancreatitis pain! No one seems sure of whether this is from the iron, or possible adhesions from one of her surgeries.
Her blood pressure has been screwy too- I sent her home with my little b/p machine to check it every now and then.
She goes to about 130/90, at her highest- But then drops way down to about 80/40. Normal (for her) is about 90/58. We run borderline low in my brood.
We are told that her b/p shall regulate itself once her iron treatments are discontinued.
Last week, in an effort to counteract some of the immediate side-effects of the iron, they gave her benedryl, 50mgs, -and a Zantec for her tummy.

The Zantec was octagonal but not parallel - a weird looking pill that didn't show up in my picture.
I was having fun playing with my camera that day- editing a few pics while Casey's IV ran.
I found an edit feature on my camera that is tagged "partial color". That's what I used for the above shot.

Ready with the saline, just in case...
.
.
A few shots from her hospital visit...
.
........
(The '59' was her heart-rate at that point in time).
Disregard the "ADMIT PATIENT" as I brought her home that same evening.

Casey- 5/28/2010
Showing off her pokes and bruises, (and of course the fancy jewelry issued by the hospital). hehehe

WARNING! ~This picture is not for the feint of heart...
Every once in a a while someone turns my camera on me...
.
.
.
OK. Quit laughing already-
.
.
Driving to pick up Casey, I go past this gas station.
.
.
For some odd, strange reason, I was quite happy I did not need gas at the moment.
.
.
I was also happy that I didn't need anything swatted that day. hehehe
.
.
.
Going back to the woodsafter we got home, I was thrilled that the boys were finally attempting to clear the field.
Rumor has it there will be cabbage this year...
Boring... (stinky too).
.

I'd better close for now...
Have plenty more blogging to catch up on, (and like cabbage I don't want to be boring you).
Love to all!
XOXO
Me
