The ER doc told her how serious it was, but she just wanted to "go home and sleep in her own bed". I am afraid she just does not understand how bad it can be so this is as quick as we can get her in w/o a direct admit. The gallbladder was urgent becuase her liver enzymes were not good, so hopefully we will get to the doctor on Thursday without her refusing to go!!!<br /><br />Thanks JBR!WinnyNinny PooPoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237156887425609665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814235039372544528.post-44052848546011373942011-03-27T06:17:57.956-05:002011-03-27T06:17:57.956-05:00((((Winny))))((((Winny))))Just Be Realhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815210059310140144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814235039372544528.post-88642917762224540932011-03-26T10:00:14.155-05:002011-03-26T10:00:14.155-05:00Do not wait!

...Do not wait! Go immediately to have her checked.<br /><br />Not to scare you...but if that ruptures, there is NO treatment. One of my laboring mother's had a dissecting aortic aneurysm & died instantly, regardless of the 3 hrs we coded her. Luckily we were able to cut the baby out in time and she survived. It was devastating...and a complete fluke. No one knew she had an aneurysm until autopsy.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674502605710098012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814235039372544528.post-3408712595872214312011-03-25T23:48:20.405-05:002011-03-25T23:48:20.405-05:00Jessica: The nurse described it as a triple A ane...Jessica: The nurse described it as a triple A aneurysim - I am guessing Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. It has grown to 4.5 cm long and is getting wider, so it's time to have it monitored by a vascular surgeon. I was told that most often they don't do any repairs until it reaches 5 cm??<br /><br />Debbie Jean: Hoping the surgery makes you feel better after the recovery period. 3 surgeries is a lot for your body to handle in one year. I am more sleepy from the increased fentanyl. So far so good tho. My doc says this is generally his starting dose for people, but I have had so many issues with meds we started as low as possible and are creeping upwards! You will be in my prayers next Wednesday my internet twin!!! Wanting great outcomes!WinnyNinny PooPoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237156887425609665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814235039372544528.post-23175843940509932532011-03-25T21:47:55.288-05:002011-03-25T21:47:55.288-05:00So glad to see a update!

That's hard!<br />I have surgery on Wednesday and not looking forward to it. 3 surgeries in a yr. UGH!!!I hope the increase in the fentanyl helps. I imagine you will be more sleepy. Uping mine usually makes me that way.<br />Have a great weekend!!!<br /><br />God Bless~<br />DebbieDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772406743462324097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814235039372544528.post-13321290192102704502011-03-25T19:22:43.803-05:002011-03-25T19:22:43.803-05:00I missed you!

Her patience is frazzled and mine is definitely at its limit! :) I did buy a better quality headphone/microphone and a web camera for Skyping for work!!! WooHoo - love new toys!<br /><br />Migrainista: Thanks - I'm thinking of staying overnight in St. Louis and maybe doing something fun when going to see Dr. House.

It may give you the chance to save yourself physically while still doing what you love. I'm happy to hear from you but I figured taking care of your mom was taking a lot out of you both. I'm excited for the 9th. I think answers are a good thing and going into it with a positive attitude like you do can only be good as well.Kristin Klemmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02087533726852128460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814235039372544528.post-4468069004713578762011-03-25T09:14:23.638-05:002011-03-25T09:14:23.638-05:00Missed ya too JBR!

Hoping you will be able to have those more pain free hours in order to function at work much better.<br /><br />Glad for your return Winny.
