Outpost, at least get on the phone and get some med adjustments made. He is in some form of CHF from what you're saying and needs an increase in meds. Do you all have the green/yellow/red zones for CHF? If not, discuss this with your doctor, after this current issue is taken care of. All that fluid is a huge stress on his heart, lungs and kidneys and he doesn't need that.

Phil, hope they get you cleared up. I wonder sometimes about what may be floating around this old trailer I'm breathing in also....

Outpost, how's your honey doing? I've been thinking of you all today....

You too, Phil. How's the breathing?

I had a very good meeting with my administrator today. She agrees with a lot of what I said and it was wonderful to get the validation. She confirmed the problem co-worker is not in my chain of command (even though she thinks she's my boss she's not) and cleared up some other issues. She also does not see how they will need fewer hours from me and understands I need to work X number of hours a month. She says a monthly schedule is not out of line. I told her I needed to have a "clear the air" meeting with my supervisor and the problem co-worker, and she told me she wants to sit on on that meeting for my protection, I shouldn't have a closed door meeting with the two of them. And, I got to move my desk! I'm out in the main pit of the office, but I'm thrilled to not be in the Room of Hostility anymore. Plus, the ladies out front listen to music I like

. So, things are good. The 4 of us will meet on Monday and we'll see how things go at that point.

I had a little talk with Jesus this morning and read some scriptures that gave me focus and peace. I need to find an appropriate verse and get it painted on a board to hang at my new space.

Going back to Bend to scatter Dad'a ashes this weekend. It's weird, I know he's gone and I think I've dealt pretty well with this. But the thought of his body reduced to that little box is a hard thing, when I try to think of it my mind shies away and will only nibble around the edges of it.

I got the training collar today. Good thing, cause Eve had a pullet in her mouth last night. I'd thought I had everyone put away when I let her out, but apparently I missed one. We'll see how it works for them. I don't know if the warning beep will be audible to her, if not I can use the vibration.

So on a last note, I'm having a weird thing with the doctor's office. I saw the hematologist on Friday and things were good. I'd been getting labs every month or so and seeing the doctor every 2 months. When I left Friday, I just asked the receptionist to mail me a schedule like she usually does. She called me this morning, they had me on the schedule for labs. ??? So I"m going in tomorrow. I got the schedule in the mail today and I'm down for weekly labs and seeing the doctor again in a month. I saw the labs myself and didn't see anything scary on them so I'm wondering what's up? My kidney function was climbing a bit, but not what I'd call scary. I've been pushing fluids, and when they checked in the ED on Monday it was okay. I called and asked why the increase in monitoring, but of course my doctor is out today

. I'm honestly thinking he just had a brain fart, but who knows? Weird.
 
Hope the whole labs thing is just a fluke.
I was thinking about you today too......just keep things "real" and don't push it. Stress is just as bad for you as anything else.
Please just Do Not put your health at risk just to overcome that feeling that you need to be productive.
GOD put this time in your hands and had provided you a means to get through it.
I will be pizzed if i got to come all the way to the west coast to slap you......(lovingly).....I mean it.
My breathing stinks by the way.....but i have an appointment for Monday.....mostly i think i just have to get this asthma under Better control and figure out my triggers Once and for all....too many years of just living with it.
Me and you are in this fight together and hopefully we will be for a long freaking time to come.
So I'm giving you a shout out from my little Peninsula tonight.
Racheal....take care of yourself......Phil
 
Hubby is feeling better. He has been thru this before. It's scary. He was just at doctor Thursday (check up), has to go to at least one doctor each month. Maybe he is stubborn, but he would not have gone this past weekend. And quite frankly, they never help him. It seems they are more worried about the fact that he smokes and is overweight. We all know that we have to be our own advocates, but harping on him to stop smoking is never going to get him to stop smoking. I am so thankful I never picked up that habit.

In other news, DD is packing up for a trip with older step daughter. She lives out your way Phil. Going to be gone for a week. :hit:hit. I am going to miss her immensely! She is my big helper. Hubby's helper too! But her sissy raises sheep, fainting goats, and ducks. She had chickens until Monday night. Something kept picking off her chickens. Mostly during the day. Sometimes left feathers, but mostly just took them out whole. A hunting camera revealed it was a fox. Took her last 2 chickens Monday. Her sissy also has a baby boy and is pregnant. DD is a super proud aunt:D.

Got so much work to do before work. Thanks for praying for hubby. I'm praying for you all too. Hoping its a wonderful, good breathing day for everyone!
 
I should've added that the dr did not change up his meds Thursday. So that cannot be to blame. He has been on water pills for 11+ years. And they do periodically change them up.

Rachel, never heard of the green, yellow, red zones. We will discuss that with dr. He does have to weigh in everyday. If significant changes either way, he is to call dr.

Oh yeah....where at?
 
Indiana-Michigan boarder. Maybe not too near, around Goshen, Indiana. Have a good day fishing! Suppose to be muggy & rainy here. Take care.
