I could use some health~ma for my sister Jeannie. She's in the hospital resting comfortably after an urgent transfusion because they determined her to be dangerously anemic with a hemoglobin of 6 gm/dl.
ETA: that was third hand, Latest news is that she was in for 2 units yesterday. She's up and around, more tests next week.
Also I found out my brother Ron had a hemoglobin of 4 gm/dl recently. WTH?
H and I are pulling out of the driveway as soon as I finish my coffee and brush my teeth. Eight or nine days cross-country and we'll be "home". A little road-ma would be greatly appreciated.
My brother in law is in the hospital, after suffering multiple seizures of unknown cause. If anyone could aim some health~ma Michigan-ward for him, please, I would appreciate it.
A little let-it-not-be-too-serious ~ma over the next couple of weeks, please.
DH and I have decided to be green and thrifty this year, so we are sending out holiday e-cards instead of dead tree versions.
If you would like an e-card from us, send me your email address and you shall be added to the list! alterjess AT gmail DOT com
I, despite being the ardent ecofreak that I am, shall continue to kill trees and embiggen my carbon footprint by sending snail mail holiday cards. At least they all have recycled content, I think. Please to be sending your address to me via my profile addy if you would like one. My cards are appropriate for all faiths or none at all.
eta that you don't have to send me one to get one. And that also I have good intentions but I make no guarantees that said card will arrive by 12/25.
I release the health~ma into the ~ma pool. My brother in law is now home from the hospital, with a prescription for blood thinners to keep clots from forming in his brain and, we hope, to keep him seizure-free. Thanks for all the good wishes!
H and I are officially west coasties. Maybe one day we'll find house under all the boxes.
I feel funny posting here, since I'm pretty much only in small threads nowadays, but I need some ~ma.
My cousin was killed in a house fire night before last, and now, instead of going to his funeral, I'm in the process of heading to upstate NY for my niece's wedding. I really, really want to be both places. I would really appreciate any ~ma that I can keep it together this week, as the family has decided not to tell the bride until after the wedding.
I release the health~ma back into the world. I am fine. I have to go back in a couple of months to make sure, but I'm in the clear for now.
