'The Girl in Question'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I’m killing time people-watching in the hospital cafeteria while my Dad gets zapped with electricity to shock his heart rhythm out of afib. This cafeteria has good food, but I had such a big breakfast that I have no appetite. I’ll probably get hungry at a really inconvenient time, like 3:17.
I do have a can of fizzy water, so I’ve got that going for me.
Fizzy water is good. Sorry you are on Dad-watch
The procedure should be quick and easy, and it’s outpatient, so this is the best possible scenario for medical Dad wrangling.
Time to try expert level sudoku.
Glad to hear it!
Hot flashes, askye? Or reaction to a medication? I hope it resolves.
I hope the timing of the expert sudoku and your dad's procedure line up perfectly, Tappy.
I've decided to jump into my tax return. Ugh. Don't wanna. And yet it has to happen. Personal, then corporate.
Go Teppy being a good daughter and good human being. I am so impressed that my sister has managed to put up with my dad for nearly two years now. I would’ve murdered him about a year and a half ago. Though neither of us figured he’d still be around at this point. And we are both like “the diabetic man wants to eat cookies for breakfast and ice cream for dinner? Well, he’s almost 85, what’s it going to do, kill him a few days sooner? Oh no”. The dermatologist had him putting this chemo cream on his head to kill any possible skin cancer, and it causes painful shedding and sores and she and I were both line “is the skin cancer really going to be what gets him at this point? Is this worth it?”
Dad's procedure was indeed quick and easy, and I got him back home about an hour ago, and I just finished my lunch (got hungry at 2:30, not 3:17). I had planned to be off the entire day, so now I might take a nap.
I don't think this is hot flashes. Because it's also the dizziness and all of that. Could be per in menopause.
Or my blood sugar. Who knows. But I felt like I was going to pass out I've sat down and and had some electrolyte drink.
I looked on MyChart and it says my EKG and glucose levels were abnormal but who knows what that means. But will be asking my doctor tomorrow
