Welcome back!

We finally heard to day that there might be a hint to what has been bothering him for a while. I guess that time will show if we are treating it the right way.

Life most frustrating.

Monday, my husband went and saw the doctor to get his blood sugar under control.

Tuesday, today, he went to see another doctor about the pain that he has been having in his stomach, and nausea. We heard of a couple of possibilities, but won’t know until after a CAT scan.

That is for tomorrow. I know that doctors are there to help people. I just wish that we didn’t have the need right now. I do not like it when my husband is hurting all of the time.

I’ve got it. Do you?

Wonderful title isn’t it? Of all of the things that i could write about, I chose dandruff. Little flakes of skin that get in the way, show on your shoulder and other places.

Of course then there is the wonderful eczema, which is more than just dry skin. If I thought that I could put hand lotion on my head to get rid of the dandruff, I would. Unfortunately that would give me the appearance of a wet head. It might smell nice, but it would be a pain to wash out and my hair would be plastered to my head. At least I wouldn’t have to worry about having split ends…would I? Not sure.

No, I am not talking about the re-vamped series ‘The Visitors’ or “V” as it is called.

I am talking about a near-by friend of my husband and I, who has a visiting friend from another part of the state. She told us about all of the snowy scenes that she saw while on the train coming down.

I am just glad that she didn’t try to travel by bus, because she might have been stranded because of road blockages. She told us that she remembered her best night cream, but forgot to put part of her nebulizer in her suitcase. Since I, myself, have sleep apnea and understand how important that breathing can be, I asked her if she will be okay while she is here. She said that she would be okay for a while, I just hope that she does not encounter any problems.

Well, the time came for my husband to go in for his after surgery check up.

He got good news and will not be expected to return until 3 months. He is feeling a lot better than he was before the surgery. His pain is almost totally gone. He seems to have more energy than he did before.

The thing that we are working on now is his blood sugar.

Well, the thunder and lightning in our area had some fun. We didn’t have any fun.

It started out with just some of the apartments inour area losing their electric. Then when the power company showed up, they had to cut all of the power to all of the units in order to safely correct the outage.

Well, evidently the lightning zapped the wires and the transformer box had to be reconnected. It was 5 AM when they were finally able to get things going again. Since I have severe sleep apnea, I CANNOT go to sleep without my breathing machines. 2 of them. So, just as I was thinking about going to bed - NOPE#&*_#@$%_)&.

The next day I was so tired that I slept most of the day to make up the difference. I once fell asleep without the machines. I was in the hospital, they had me hooked up to heart moniters. The next thing that I knew, I hear CODE BLUE with my room number. One of the nurses was talking to me trying to get me to wake up. When I did, she told me that I had scared them and please do not go to sleep without the machines.

That was eye opening. Evidently my heart stopped. So, power out = no sleep. Humph

I mentioned acne, zits, pimples, and other things. Now I am mentioning eczema.

Can you imagine eczema pictures put up on a billboard instead of smiling happy pictures? They would make quite a statement, but I wouldn’t want to be the one who has them. People who have this stuff go through a lot of trials and troubles trying to get rid of it.

I never was afflicted with it, so I have no idea what can happen to those who do have it. I have seen ads on the TV about other types of skin problems. Some of them are serious, some easily taken care of. Either way, I missed going through those things in my childhood and in my teenage years.

Lately, I have been having trouble with dandruff. Of course I also have touble with dry skin. However, that is another topic isn’t it?

Acne can be a total pain on the skin. I used to know people at high school that had lots of trouble with their acne.

That was so long ago that I will not mention when it happened. It happened in St.Louis, Mo. The air there was very humid at times and my friends were in misery at the time. Sweating, and acne do not go together very well. We did not have tretinoin, acne doctors, or any of the famous things for acne that are available today. In fact one thing I read about being used as a treatment back before 1900 was whiskey. Imagine walking around in society smelling like a distillery. EW At least now the ointments that are available for use today have good scents and aromas.

Yes, out there are jobs. How do people find them? I don’t know right now.

I know that jobs in healthcare are really important. My husband spent some time in the hospital not too long ago. There were nurses on duty, there were others who also did some of the duties, but there were not enough.

I was there to help get my husband what he needed that did not require a registered nurse, or a technician. Not everyone has someone who can spend the time in each room for help them.

When I had worked as a nurses aide about 20 years ago, there were never enough people available to do the job. That fact has not changed much in the years that have gone past. Aides do the things that nurses are too busy to do. Nurses, aides, technicians, lab workers - all of those positions need to be filled, but there is a lack of personnel to fill those positions.

I know that this is a subject that is rarely talked about. My husband has trouble with these things, so does his mom.

I have been blessed to avoid them. Some people will want to get surgery, other will try natural hemorrhoid treatments, other will go for medical treatment that does not include the surgery option.

I have no idea what it is like to experience them. I hope that I never do. I have known others who were severely bothered and those people went through some serious bother. Whatever each person experiences, it is up to them to determine what they will do, and how they will do it.
