[Rob]

Was about to moan about shit not going well for me again but then I read your rant Jag and it made me realise how lucky I am to have the NHS, hope your Mum gets better soon mate and dont let it stress you out too much.

[Russ]

Yeah thoughts are with you Jag, hope everything gets sorted!

[Goldferg]

Yeah, likewise man. Hope your mum gets better.

[Sgt. Josh Underpants]

Damn sorry to hear all that Jag, best wishes to you and your mom

[Duckman]

So the weather is fucking shit and the power has been off for days and it makes me so mad I wanna...

Yeah, complete pointless bollocks compared to what you and your Mum are going through Jag.  Stay strong buddy and I hope she gets better soon.

Peace

Fucking hate it when people try to become my personal trainer. Ever since I lost the weight people have been like "you should do this.. " "you should do that.." mother fucker, if If I've lost 60 pounds I think I'm doing a pretty damn good job without you telling me what I should or shouldn't do. If its to help me avoid injury then I'll listen. But I don't care what your regimen is, I'll do my fucking own.

Best part about this is that the 'advice' typically comes from people who are overweight or out of shape themselves.

"Gravy is a good Soda alternative."

Wasn't that Alex's yearbook quote?

Sorry, sorry. Too easy, I know.

Fuck GID with a rake.

Ok.

So last year a few days before Christmas my Mom has surgery.  Veins in legs clogged up so they put a.... Shunt?  Stint?  Whatever the call it in. 

Fast forward a few months and her legs hurting again, toes cold, etc.  She goes back and her scar tissue is closing the shunt/stint whatever it's called, the re-open it.

A few months later, it's not working still, so they do a bypass.

Now last Friday she's in pain again, toes cold again (which is her warning that somethings wrong).  Now our towns small enough that our hospital can't handle this stuff, go to next bigger city (Rapid City South Dakota about 70 mils away for it) however when she calls them up and explains the situation the tell her they can't fit her in 'till Jan 17.  That's waaaaay to fucking late.  So she goes to our Hospitals emergency room, then take a short look and just tell her to head over to Rapid ASAP, they'll call and clear things up.

She goes, and it turns out she's got two more clogs behind her knee.

Instead of surgery they can do this one by putting some powerfull fucking blood thinner in her system.  She also finds out she's resistant to Plavix or something like that. 

So they keep her in ICU through Saturday/Sunday because of all the blood thinner in her, keep her Monday as well.  She's supposed to get out Tuesday, I'm set to go pick her up.

She calls, apparently blood thinner still going strong as she started bleeding this afternoon and it took them 3-4 hours to get it to stop.

Just kind of ranting as I know, she knows and the Doctors know that her refusing to stop smoking is part of all the shit going down.

Also she's getting worried on the Financial strain she's being put under here.  She's lucked out on her Surgeon writing off 99% of everything, but still it's getting to her as she doesn't make much and doesn't have insurance

Stents are what was given to Prince Phillip over Christmas if you have followed any UK news.

They will have given her initially 300mg of a drug called Clopidogrel (Plavix) resistance to that will have put her on either an injectable version first most probably called enoxaparin (Clexane) initially at a high dose then 20mg once a day thereafter. Or they will have put her on a drug called Warfarin (Not sure if it's used in the US though because of what it is derived from) while checking her blood.

Same as I've said to people here Jag, if she has been given any meds and you want advice, drop me a pm here and I'll help with what I can...

MDK is so useful with his drug knowledge.  If we ever want to poison someone, he's the person we'll turn to.

If mdk isn't available to help, mike powers is a man nurse, I think I remember Mike giving me real good advice when my ma got really ill.
