Hi again, I am now home from the hospital. I know I never went into detail about what happened so to give a little background. This had to do with my kidneys again and I thought I saw some of the same symptoms I had previously (Like not being able to pee after drinking a lot of liquids). It is good I went to the ER again because I was right......and this time they put 2 stents in because, (drum roll)...............I have 2 stones........one on each Kidney. They will take them out (both stents and stones) sometime thins month. Probably in the next couple of weeks.  Anyway, my kidneys were not functioning properly but are much better now (because of the stents). And I need to find out why I am getting these stones too.

AND yes, something else showed up.......when they took the first CT Scan it was my entire abdomen and there is some fluid showing up near my right lung. They took a sample of the fluid yesterday and sent it to the lab to see what is going on with that stuff. No, I haven't felt sick and have never had Pneumonia and wouldn't know what that would feel like......and lets hope it is nothing malignant. Should have the results late this week or early next week.

And there is most of what happened....getting older really sucks.

Glad you are home!  Good thing you are paying attention to your body and caught this early before you got into big trouble!  Fingers crossed the fluid turns out to be nothing serious and you are right, getting older does suck!😂

Hi Melody, cruise is not till May 26 so I have plenty of time🙂 yes I am still going.

[awhfy]

Oh good, I thought it was this coming month 

[WELDON]

Hi Lois,

Good to hear you are home. Hope your test results show nothing serious. Take care.

[slidergirl]

My gosh Lois!  I am so sorry that you have yet another health issue,  Good that you listened to your instincts and went it to get it checked.  I can't image having 2 stones - seeing friends with just one stone was scary enough.  Hoping all works out again for you.

 

I was smacked in my face with something this week.  Started with the cough coming back more than it has been on Monday morning.  By Monday night, I was coughing hard to where I'd gag up mucus,  I totally lost my voice and a massive headache.  I did call off sick yesterday - no way I was going in.  It's not a cold - my nose is OK.  Took 2 tests between Monday and today - not COVID.  Last night my headache was terrible.  I'm kind of doing the "sundown" coughing -it's worse when evening comes.  Hard to get any sleep.  I'm thinking it's either a mild pneumonia or RSV.  Can't really do much for them other than rest and lots of fluids.  If nothing else, at least it came at the end of the season where it isn't a big deal to miss work.  Yes Lois-it sucks to get old.

 

One fun thing:  The herd of kids under 12 who ran around the lodge causing chaos left on Easter Monday.  The 2 dads did give me an $80 tip for my troubles wrangling the "heathen children."  The kids left me a pair of Easter Bunny ears.  I thought they'd look good on our front desk deer:

 

[Lois R]

Hi Kat, WOW........I hope you feel better soon. I am not in any pain (thankfully)  but they did prescribe me multiple antibiotics. I have so many pills to take...what a PITA. 2 are only for week so that is not too bad.

And I did find out today I am having the stones removed on Tuesday and new stents are going in. (They did not take out the stones over the weekend).

 

 

 

[slidergirl]

Lois - good luck with the stones!  

 

I still feel awful but decent enough to drive over to urgent care ( only a mile away).  Got some tests and a chest xray done.  I popped positive for influenza A.  Ugh. 🤒 I haven't had flu in years.  My BP was 94/68 and my pulse O2 was good at 96%.  At least now I know why I feel like I've hit by a truck.  

 

Melody - I'm supposed to get up to a foot of snow over the weekend.  Be prepared for the beginning of the week in CO!

 

I got my 50% off birthday cert from Sweaty Betty.  I decided on another pair of Merrell Moab Speed shoes.  Can't beat that price.  I can always make to with another pair of shoes 😉

 

OOTD:  I really didn't care what I looked like going to urgent care, so joggers (I'd never go out in joggers usually) and my Zion National Park long sleeve T.  

[awhfy]

Kat, hope you start feeling better quickly. Flu is awful!

[MrToblerone]

Poor you Kat ,I think I might get my flu jab shortly as we are heading into Winter especially after reading how terrible you feel.

Lois I hope your stone removal goes well next week .

Melody I hope you and Les are doing ok as well.

We leave NZ for Spain on May 25th ,same as you Lois .

[PurpleHays]

Feel better Kat and Lois, as well as everyone else that's injured or under the weather.

 

We head out for our France/Spain cruise in a couple of hours. It's bright and sunny here, but it looks like most of the cruise will be cloudy/windy/rainy. I'll be on vacation, so I will not let it bother me.

Hi girls, PH hope you have a great trip.

 

My sister has been here with me since Wednesday. She is doing pretty well. Tomorrow she is going to stay with some friends for a few more days.

 

Tuesday is when I have the stones removed. Will keep you posted.

Decided to have Les’s bday 10 days early as he has the gallbladder surgery on Wednesday. The girls outdid themselves, our son FaceTimed in. We had a lovely day. Melody

[Lois R]

Melody, give Les Happy Birthday wishes from me🙂 and that his surgery goes smoothly too.

[WELDON]

Melody - Nice pictures as always. Happy birthday to Les.

 

Lois - Hope your procedure goes well.  

[Lois R]

Thanks Janet🙂

His bday is the 16th. We celebrated early because of the gb surgery. We’re calling it bday month!

[awhfy]

Lois, easy recovery from those pesky stones

[Lois R]

Thanks Melody. I am waiting for a call from the hospital on the exact time I need to be there tomorrow. The nurse called me Friday afternoon and we went over the checklist of things and then I told her the Dr's office said I need to be there at 12............but she said it was showing 10:45.  So now it is just a waiting game for which time is correct. Hospitals seem to have all these glitches sometimes. Oh well. The nurse was really nice and gave me her direct line. IF the hospital doesn't call me by about 3:00 I will call her directly.

 

Question for all of you..........am I the only person who thinks this Eclipse thing is just WAY OVER THE TOP? Maybe it is just me? But I really have no excitement or anything of the sort about it.

[awhfy]

Well the eclipse isn’t a big deal for us. We’re at a retina doctor appt & I don’t think they’d appreciate us running out to see it!!  Good luck Lois

[WELDON]

I think it is way over the top. To me there really isn't much to see. I watched the eclipse over one city and after that, shut off the tv. TV stations have been hyping this  and people want to jump on the bandwagon.
