Do you and your family have confidence in your mother's current medical team?
Yes. They kinda brought in every big gun, sometimes for free, when they realised what happened, as a sort of communal apology. It was remarkable to see the medical community rally around her. She can pretty much get anyone in Jamaica to see her, and we've discovered every oncologist and gastroenterologist on both sides of the family too, and they're on call as well. And psychiatrist, and acupuncturist, and nutritionist, and...and...and...
She's that sort of a woman.
ita !, that is exactly the kind of team advocacy that makes the difference. Fight!
The doctor came in - definitely spending the night.
He says that I have about 100 pockets in my colon. But there was one that looked different so he tried to make it bleed but couldn't - anyway, he clipped that one and we've just got to keep our fingers crosses that its the one that was the culprit.
Oh Steph, I totally understand the rage! Hoping that you found the calm and are currently kicking someone's ass over at the hospital. Much ~ma to you and your father.
And sumi, much ~ma to you as well. Second night at the hospital isn't fun. I am so so glad you went in to have things checked.
sumi,
I don't quite understand the colon, but I'm nodding over here.
the hospital has wifi, so it can't be all bad.
Fingers crossed for you, sumi!
Um, holy crap. I am now doing extra work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, then Monday and Tuesday. The new dates are for this movie - [link] (OMG, I might breathe the same air as Common!). Also, I just pulled up the calculator on my computer dashboard, and I have a widget that I'd totally forgotten about... it's been exactly nine months since I moved to New Orleans. Wow.
I hope that took care of things, sumi.
Yay, smonster!
Glad to hear your doctors are on the ball, sumi. I hope your stay is relatively short.
smonster, that sounds absolutely awesome! Have fun with it all!
It sounds like your doctor is both attentive and communicative, sumi. I like him! Here's hoping for a quick release.
Fun stuff, smonster!
Ugh. Dear Girl from OKCupid--if your first question, in response to my email (since we both rated each other highly and OKCupid told us so) is "How long have you been single?"...that tells me YOU are still too wrapped up in your last relationship or are probably very seriously serial monogamist--and assume everyone else is too. Not really my bag.
