My leukemia's back.

Can I pull up a bench & just sit here a while? Out of nowhere my 54 yr old brother needs a triple by pass. I cant wrap my brain around this. I think I had a brief out of body experience at one point today. I'm having trouble chatting about the weather on my other threads, so if you guys dont mind, I'm just gonna sit here quietly for a bit.

Hi Roomy, of course you can sit here, any time.

That must have been shocking news about your brother. Keep us posted on how he's doing and how you are doing, ok?

Good morning, Team Rachel.

That is a shock!

I had a cousin die of a heart attack at 48 years old. It was very shocking!

I am praying for your Brother

Oh my goodness. My poor sister went through heck ..waiting ..for her turn for surgery. One person was ahead of her, but, an emergency came in. She checked in at 11..was supposed to go in at 1:20. She did well until around 2. Then she started to act strange. No food of course that morning/day. By 3, well, let's just say, she lost it. She was yelling she wanting to go home. She was scared didn't know what was going on on, she says, I'm hungry! I'm thirsty. I want this thing ..Out! .. (IV) Her caregiver was there, we both got up to get a nurse..I said, I bet she pulls it . She did. It took 4 trys to get that thing in ..in the beginning.. because of her tiny tiny veins. I'm not sure, but it sure seems she was acting like her sugars were low. She was not acting right at all. She can get an attitude, but she was being so repetitive when she first started acting strange. ... I wonder where my Dr. is. I wonder who he is. I'm scared. It was hard to watch. The surgery didn't go as planned. He had to start the Fishula in her wrist, not just below her elbow area. Her veins are so Tiny..hoping this works. She may need a Cath port in the neck..not only because of her tiny veins, but because he..the surgeon, just found out how fast her numbers are dropping. He said he's going to call her nephrologist to see what he thinks. Talked to Lisa this morning, she's back to our sweet Lisa. Something..about no food I think. She thanked me for coming yesterday. We finally got out of .. same day surgery...around 6:30. It was good to hear her feeling better this morning.

Your poor sister Cynthia! How stressful for her (and you). Glad the surgery is finally over and she's acting more like her self.

Thank you. Hoping she can eat before dialysis! She needs those calories, or this could happen there. Not sure what they would do.

Oh my goodness! What an ordeal for all of you! It could well have been low sugars if she hadn't eaten all day. It would be good to know what the plan is at the dialysis center if this does happen there. I don't know where your sister is developmentally, but I am a 1-1 para with a special needs student at our school. I know how quickly things can go sideways with my student when they start getting anxious about something. And then when we get fixated on something, there is nothing that will change our mind. I hope she is able to eat before dialysis. Please keep us posted.
