Today [8]

[StalkeR]

Are the "barley's" caused from checking out all the girls at school or from wood splinters from looking
through peep holes? hehehehe
I never got them as I wear glasses...

Haha... I don't know why it was caused...

OHHH! i had one of those like 12 years ago.

The doctor removed it in 20mins or less, can't remember, i was barely 10yrs old at that time. It's an ambulatory operation, so i guess you have nothing to worry about!

Tell the doctor to assign you a hot nurse at least you'll distract your other eye

Yes,I'm not worried about that. And for "that",I'll have it on my mind.

Sometimes the eye lash gets in grown or the eye lash folicle gets plugged.

I get one occasionally but they heal in a week or so.

Sometimes they just won't heal properly.

Good luck it shouldn't be a big deal.
Make sure to get your lollipop when they are done.

Mike

 

[StalkeR]

Thanks Mike !

 

[Hopalong X]

Hahaha yeah.. i had a hot nurse assigned in my latest surgery, but i didn't enjoy it.

At least you'll have her in your face.. i had mine in my...... well.. :huh: LOL!

It could have been worse.

The nurse could have been :roflmao:.

Now that would have been embarassing!!!

Liver is enlarged. All the liver panel blood tests check good.

So it is inflammed but functioning properly.

Might be left over from pneumonia and the antibiotics triggered it.

Considering the strain my liver is on from the other 10 medicines I take everyday.

Hemoglobin is maintaining so far this week. Recheck tomorrow morning.

Also the blood tests they did last Friday came back.
Almost all RBC's destroyed are smashed so it is my mechanical mitral valve.

The liver just adds to the problem or is a side effect on the RBC count.

Changing the mitral valve to a pig valve would help the RBC count to go normal if I survived the surgery.

Cardio docs still say that is a REALLY bad idea. Three different ones now.

They may have a point.

Punkster

I figured by now you would get a laugh about it.

 

[Hopalong X]

Doctor ordered another liver panel to go with CBC and Iron tomorrow.

If liver panel looks good and CBC is decent keep an eye on it and see if hemoglobin stays up.

A blood specialist isn't going to help.
I'm making more than enough RBC's for a normal person just not enough to out pace the valve destroying them.

Catch-22

 

[The Howling Wolves]

Mike,
Are some of those 10(+ or -) meds counter-productive with the valve/transfusions?
I am sure you are not the only person experiencing this problem so you might want to check websites for mitral valve forums where you can read what others are experiencing.
I do that for Donna and the type of infusion she is on.

Just a thought Mike! Just a thought.

 

[Hopalong X]

Under blood damage.> Artificial heart valve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mechanical heart valves can also cause hemolytic anemia with hemolysis of the red blood cells as they pass through the valve.

Hemolytic anemia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The RBC's being destroyed has been occuring since the first valve installed in 1988.
I made more than enough RBC's to replace the destroyed ones.

As I have gotten older as everyone does production has decreased but still more than a normal person without a mechanical valve needs....

...but not enough for someone with a mechanical valve.

Today I was at hospital,and the doctor schedules me operation for my eye lid on Wednesday,21st.

Tell the nurse to keep an eye out for you Sure it will go fine.

Today, well... 5mins ago, i got a call from the electronics store that wanted me for the Sales Consultant job, they want to see me today @ 4:30pm

The manager told me to go there today and that they have an offer for me. They know my schedule in college, so i guess it's not going to interfere!

Boshko, is something wrong with your eye? hope everything goes just fine!

Congrats Punkster, hope it all works out for you.

Mike, quite an ordeal, I sure hope you are back to "normal" soon


Tomorrow 9/16 I go under the laser myself. Having LASIK eye surgery, More precisely Bladeless Custom Wavefront LASIK. Doing only the left eye as the right is almost 20/20. Left eye been slacking for years, so going to make it do 1/2 the work from now on. Not worried so much as anxious, as I know exactly what the procedure entails. May not be on at all tomorrow, even though my right eye will be unchanged. Imagine, me not posting for a whole day

Does that mean you will only be at half speed? Maybe now I can catch up to you!

Mike,
Get Topper to donate some blood for you....Makes horse sense to me!

StalkeR,
That's what you get for checking out the babes at the pool.

Gary,
Now we will see if you are a Multi-Tasker or not!

Best of luck and good wishes to all of you!

We've got major construction work going on opposite the Library at the moment, and I've just seen one of the workmen standing in one of the dumpers with a pneumatic drill trying to break up concrete/cement that has set solid in it. You should be able to see this in the image below:

 

[Thorsen]

So did you get the job Punkster?

Hope all goes well with the rest of you guys for the surgeries and Lasik and all

Murphy stuck again for me today. The trailer hitch I was gonna have put on our minivan finally came in.... and it was the wrong part. So I wont have that for our move this weekend. We will be driving up with the van and getting a friend to travel later this month with all the rest of our stuff.....

On Monday or Tuesday I should be posting from Boston (if I'm not to busy to hop on here)

 

[Thorsen]

Also as for the nurse part:

 

[A Guy]

Good luck. I hear Boston drivers are known as the most courteous, careful drivers anywhere :shock:

[Thorsen]

Thorsen! good luck in boston, and cheers for getting the job. It deserves a toast

I need to go there today to polish some details about the job. I'm going to get paid more than minimum wage for only 24 hours/week, i'll be working 4 hours a day monday to saturday.

Yesterday's interview lasted 2:30 hours. We talk about their problems, how are they going to handle them, what they want me to do for them, some research and investigations, possible projects, it's a full list... Basically, they need me there. They're going to open a Marketing Department (because they don't have one) and i'll be the Marketing Manager. I got to choose my schedule, i can choose how i want to work, and my direct boss is CEO of the store.

So i guess i'll go there today, give him my final thoughts and if everything works out fine, i'll start on monday!

Sounds great! Sounds like a real good opportunity.

Also, hopefully there are good drivers in your area like there are in Boston. Thanks for the heads up Bill. Glad I'll be moving to an area where people are courteous and careful...


Edit: scratch that....

Thorsen,
I have a cousin(former Navy Helicopter Pilot) who scares the living begeeesis out you when you ride with him. He lives in the Boston area.
I always sit in the back and close my eye's until I hear his door opening which means we are at our destination.

Best of luck with you new position.
Now you have to practice SAFE DRIVING!

Got my wife ready and treated her to an outing which she thoroughly enjoyed.
Glad to hear you are home from surgery and it appears you are ok as your typing is still good. You are not typing with ONE eye are you?
Take care my friend.
