I got the flu shot today!

After hearing about the flu shot all over the news I finally got it. Tom is in the hospital for the week, at least, so now was the best time for it. So here I sit with a sore arm and hives, yes, hives. Unfortunately I've had a reaction to the last few vaccines in one way or another so the hives are just something I have to avoid scratches. Now we have one less thing to worry about giving Tom.

I need to vent

I'm not good with words and I don't always know what to say. I worry, a lot. Things don't make sense right now and being told the doctors know what they're doing, or they have a plan, or anything along those lines doesn't help. It actually frustrates me more and makes me want to scream, but I can't. Who do I scream and complain to? I know how certain things are suppose to be and when they're not that way, it's hard to understand. Things have been made worse in the past because things were done one way. I don't have a real way to vent without worrying that I will upset someone.

I miss my Keurig

Hospital coffee is ok, not anywhere near the standard of the k-cups I use. 

Always an adventure

<p dir=ltr>I've always know emergency rooms could be interesting,&nbsp; l but up until today I haven't seen or heard much.&nbsp;&nbsp; While waiting on Toms blood sugar to come down I've heard many things. Some sad, some pitiful, and some over dramatic.&nbsp; From a sick child crying because he's sick and scared, to a pregnant woman being told she could have a blood clot and the test for it has a slight risk to the baby.&nbsp; The curtain is closed around us so I'm left with my imagination.&nbsp; So far, the most dramatic person has been a grown man yelling 'it hurts so bad' and then what sounded like crocodile tears because he wasn't getting his way.&nbsp; I dont know how the men and women who work in the er do it, but I know we would be lost without them.&nbsp; They're there when you have a problem, no matter the size.&nbsp; The ones we have met today have always had a smile on their face and have been there when we have needed them.

I'm at a loss for words

I hate feeling like I'm waiting for the bottom to fall out from under me. My family is my world, my life, my reason for being and having my husband three hours away in the hospital is hard. It's harder that we're having to wait to find out more about the cancer. We've been married for 13 years and have a lifetime to go.

Did you hear?

The Republicans are analyzing why Romney lost the election.  So far they have said that Obama got the black and hispanic vote. The newest one is that white people stayed home.  They said that as well as, people die and the country is not getting any whiter.  I don't know if I should be offended by that or not.  Either way, ABC news makes it seem like they're looking for any excuse possible.

I will never understand..

I will never understand why someone would walk away from their family, grandchildren included, for someone young enough to be their child who must have daddy issues.
