Wow! I came here to vent after a disappoitment, my troubles are little.
Maverick - I rode ambulance for 6 years, was president of the squad for four of those years, and a national registry EMT. By far my saddest call was taking a man to the morgue that had not taken care of obvious symptoms of heart problems. Please do whatever you have to do to see someone. If you have had a tripple and do not feel comfortable, then a thorough checkup by someone else will, if nothing else, give you peace of mind that you are on the right course. Please see someone - preferable someone other than you are now seeing and get a second set of eyes on the problem. We are talking about your life here.
Kadesma - I am very sorry to hear of your problems. I run my own business and know the extra stress of doing that. I do not recall seeing whether or not you own the building or not. If you rent you may get some financial relief, at least.
My minor propbem - I have done a lot of cooking for company and friends lately. Since I believe that the best compliments come unsolicited, from others, I have absolutely basked in the compliments. It is great. I am also thankful for the folks here who helped me earn those compliments.
Today, all the company is gone and I had an opportunity to do something for just me. I wanted sourdough bread. I started last night and fed the starter. 6:00 this morning, I made the sponge. Let it rise five hours, got a great rise out of it, best yet. I finished the dough and let rise for the first time. Three hours rise time, no hurry, I had all day and no deadlines. Punched it down and formed the loaves. Put it on top of the stove to rise for the last time. I went outside to help my DW plant some flowers. When I came in to see what was happening, I got to watch one of my Labradors finsih off the last of the loaves od dough.

my vent tonight is store clerks that have no clue what they are doing.
on line i found a floor tile for my kitchen that i loved. noted item number , and stock number. it said was special order from store, lowes,
called my local lowes, credit card in one hand and info in the other. the first clerk i was transfered to m i thought was a clerk in flooring, who really was in bbqs. said he had to go to a puter to do the order, put me on hold, three min. he seemed not to understand special orders. put me on hold, came back and took all the info. we got to the credit card part and he had no clue, he thought he had put me on hold. but i heard him talking to a mgn. he didn't seem to understand either. first guy comes back and says he will transfer me to a mgn, he put me on hold. five mins on hold, the mgn comes on, he did not have the product info i had just given the first guy. gave it all again, then we did credit card. he said he needed to take the transation to the check out counter. he put me on hold. five min.(must have been a long walk)came on and said they would finish order and call me.
forty five min. later he called, said was taken care of and did i know there were no returns on special orders. i said yes. we confirmed pick up date .
finally done. what a pain in the butt. i loved the tile and have been coveting it for several months. couldn't find anywhere else near to me for a better price. now u tell me why they don't train anyone that deals with customers how to conduct business?
next is the twisted road i will have to travel to get it installed by the disappering handy man. lol
thanks i feel better

My 5 year old got a gash on his head last night. He tried to hang the towel on the rack and came down on the tile hard. Luckily the tube from the rack didn't hurt his face. We rushed to find a night clinic but nothing was open on Sunday evening. Argh! The bleeding stopped with the pressure and the bandaging so we decided to take him to his pediatrician this morning. He luckily does not need stitches.My 14 year old son developed a lump on his neck (throat). He too was at the pediatrician's office this a.m. Dr. outruled strep so ordered some blood work and a sonogram. He mentioned a possible case of mono. I'm really nervous of the outcome but we're hoping for the best. Would you please say a little prayer for him?
Prayers,hugs and kisses on the way.

Man, Dina, when it rains it pours. My daughter had a routine blood test once and it showed that she had antibodies for mono. Sometime before the age of 16 she had contracted it. Unless your son is extremely tired and more so than usual and he's running fevers try and remain calm.........my daughter was always tired as she tends to burn the candle at both end....main thing until you get confirmation is not to eat or drink after him from the same dishes

More prayers going up Dina. I was tested for mono when I was about 15. I had all the symptoms but it turned out to be a mild form of anemia treated with some iron. Let us know how it turns out. I am sure glad your little one is okay. We have problems with getting medical attention on Sunday evenings around here too.

Thank you for your prayers. He hasn't showed symptoms of mono- no fever or extreme tiredness just coughing and congestion which dr recommended antihistimine. I will keep you posted on the results in the next couple of days. If the CBC does not show mono, then we'll have to go get the sonogram, take him to a specialist (ENT) then perhaps a biopsy of the lump.
Prayers and good thoughts about good health going your way PDS. Get rest when you can.

Dina, I'm so sorry to hear about your boys' troubles. I wanted to share with you what happened to one of my sons when he was 7. I found a large lump on the side of his chest near the armpit that hadn't been there the day before. He had been playing with a stray kitten the previous few weeks so I thought it might be cat scratch fever, but took him to the doc anyway. She said it couldn't be that because it wasn't painful at all and he never got sick. She sent us to a surgeon who said the same thing and said he thought it was a lymph node and it had to be biopsied to check for lymphoma.
Next morning, they took it out and came out to tell us it was definitely a lymph node and no sign of infection so it was probably lymphoma, but it would take 2 days for pathology. I spent 2 days scared out of my wits and guess what - it was cat scratch fever! They said he just must have a very very strong immune system not to have gotten sick or anything. So if your son has had any contact with a stray cat, be sure and mention it to the docs. And good luck. I'll be waiting anxiously til we hear all is well.

My own vent is that I am at my mom's trying to help her get everything done but we can't because the medical examiner still hasn't issued a death certificate for my brother. It's a large city and they have a backlog. The funeral home said it could take as long as 4 months! It's driving my mom crazy. (They did release his body though and we were able to have him cremated already, thankfully.) Anybody else have any experience with this? I do remember it took 2 weeks to get my dad's and he died in a hospital so there was no medical examiner involved.
Dina

Just asked my son about him coming in contact with cats but he hasn't at all. I did check other symptoms of mono and some kids develop lumps in the neck area. I got a call from his pediatrician asking me to go ahead and get the ultrasound done immediately. He wants all tests done before he can diagnose. I'm still waiting and hopefully will get a call later today from the dr.
Dina

So sorry to hear about your brother's passing. I hope all issues get resolved and your mom is finally relieved from it all. Prayers for your family are coming your way.
