Month: July 2008

your blog:

My home page was forever the fiskateer backsite where I could approve comments, check in, etc. Now that I’m not a lead… what should my home page be? I have discovered and set up my home page as igoogle now. LOVE IT. Fun stuff to see, always different, and I finally realized the time saving thing I needed most in life. the blog reader feed thingie so it pops up updates on the blogs I read. I don’t have to click through my list taking HOURS longer. I never read the blogs I want because it takes too dang long, then there’s no updates and I’m irritated and give up. Now? I log on-line and instantly know who’s blogged. So my point: would love to add you to my feed subscriptions- just leave a comment with your blog addy so I can cut/paste from my e-mail (where your comment goes) to my browser. Look forward to reading more blogs now!!!

thursday update-

First off- THANK YOU SO MUCH for your love and support. Really. I know I didn’t reply to comments, but they are so uplifting and appreciated. Thank you.

Well things are a lot less bleak than they were on Tuesday. That is good news- or potentially good news I should say. Jake’s pneumonia (caused by his disease) is what’s keeping him in the hospital- and unstable- at this point. He has to be fed and watered exclusively through IV because they can’t let him have anything orally until pneumonia improves. BUT- unless he turns back around for the worse… he’s now a teeny bit better than when I brought him in Sunday. Which means they’re getting closer to finding his proper dosage, AND that he’s fighting back against the pneumonia.

It’s all very S-L-O-W and drives me nuts. 3 more days is the expected time frame for him to be in- assuming everything goes smoothly and he recovers. The bottom line right now is either his 7 year old butt is going to kick into gear and win this battle, or he’s going to loose it. Knowing that it’s really clear cut (and probably not a decision I have to choose the outcome of) is helpful. Also last night we chatted a bit about feeding bowls and his maintenance when he comes home… a topic that had not been previously discussed. Again, it’s still not definite that he will recover, but there is hope.

As for me I’m doing better. I finally talked my brain into waking up and being active. Tuesday night was a real ‘do or die’ night for our Jake, and I convinced myself that maybe if I got off the couch and did some fun stuff (and talked to jake trying to send him telepathic messages) that maybe I could help him somehow. Now normally I’m not a big believer all the telepathic/psychic/talking to the other side type stuff. But then I thought “but what if it’s real, and I’m wrong?”… and that thought alone had me conversing to the east (Jake is east of us right now).

Yesterday I had a nice yelling match with our garbage company (you have to yell- they’re amazingly RUDE) and that put a smile on my face. Why? I should have called them and yelled tuesday but didn’t bother. The fact that I woke up Wednesday itching to call them… a good sign of spunk returning! So I am going to resume regular blogging now… assuming we continue on this good path.

Keeping good thoughts (and conversations) going…

no news.

he is not improving. waiting on my call from the dr. tonight… I really do like her.

Whatever the outcome, I hope things get going sooner than later. I have no motivation. I am literally doing 1/20 the amount of anything as normal. I just sit and stare. If you’re reading this you probably know me well enought to know I’m the super motivated, always moving type. So for me to simply do nothing, well that’s major. and bad. I have no creative thought. No will to read. I’m barely even eating. That’s not me.

(sigh)

until tomorrow.

still more q's than a's

still more questions than I have answers. myasthenia gravis is the name, and he’s got a touch of pneumonia too.

I feel so beat up- like I’ve been running marathons or something. No motivation to do any kind of project or work. Hoping for better news tomorrow.
