right now, angelkaykay and wargod, i got one the day after my surgery that couldn't be stopped and they had to take me down to the emergency room to cauterize it. they didn't have the equipment up in the surgery wing. because of the meds they had me on, the bleeding wouldn't stop, and it was everywhere. i looked like a bad version of carrie at the prom.

RN, lol, kaykay, that is my problem with it. I can't stand the sight of blood, even my own! With my niece Darren had to help her and clean up the mess while I talked to my sister because everytime I looked at the poor kid I was getting nasuaes and ready to fall over!

RN - With blood I'll worry but it doesn't freak me as much as the smell of upchuck which I can't stand at all. (shudder) You okay KayKay?

RN LOL Mame, I'm a sympathy puker. We had a funny incident a month or so ago when I had to drive my great aunt to her drs appt. She's in her late 70's and some of her meds make her rather ill. It's pretty bad in the car because she gets car sick. I was driving her and mom home and she started to vomit into her bucket...I'm sitting next to her gagging and tears streaming, rolling down the windows and trying to pretend she's not there while she was apologizing and then I was laughing and crying as she kept apologizing....I think it was the only time in my life I told her to be quiet, kinda hard to pretend she's not right there when she kept apologizing!

RN I used to be like that with puke and blood, but now that I have kids, it has cured me. I have been puked on, right in the face, crapped on, sneezed on, spit on, peed on and for my family I am the resident surgeon for people and animals. Someone gets hurt, needs a shot, needs meds, do they call the Registered Vet Tech in the family? NO. Do they call on of the Marines in the family? No, they call me, I can sew you up, patch you up, and make you stop crying. If I can't fix you, I drive you to the ER, take care of your paperwork, tell you to quit your snivelin' and then drive you home. Being a mom is great and a never ending adventure.

RN I can't remember when I have slept so much. I slept until an hour before going to the dentist and came home and went right back to sleep and slept until 8PM.

RN Hi, Mame! Yeah, I've been in that thread a few times. Once to even quit but I didn't quite make it. Next time I will, though. 4AM and I sure hope I go back to sleep soon. Hubby has to be up at 7.

RN After reading Landi's article there is no healing. That doesn't leave much room for hope.

Right now ... Twinks, there is always hope! And there are varying degree's of COPD. The sooner you quit, the better off you are with this disease.

right now, i wasn't trying to be the bad guy here. but i was really worried twinks when you wouldn't go to the doctor after having lived through pneumonia myself last year. after my surgery in october, i know that we can never be too informed. i was only looking out for your best interests.

RN Twinkie, you're in my thoughts. RN...I need help...anyone? I need a translation on my first graders homework. "Write 3 sentences using as many spelling words as you can (I get that part) - You must have a naming part, an action part and a where in each sentence. Anyone?
