Weekend from hell....

June 08, 2010, 08:29:19 AM

ok,,,so my weekend began with my brother being rushed to the hospital with suspected heart attack... so far they can't find anything wrong with his heart and he was sent home yesterday. He is still undergoing tests, but they have no idea whats wrong with him...he is feeling better.

3 a.m. Sunday morning, Cody woke Roger up and asked him to take him to the ER. He had started feeling sick Friday night and was having stomach pains, but thought it was just the flu. Turns out it was his appendix and it was perforated and leaking infection into his system. Once they got the surgery going, they found out it actually was gangrenous and he had a lot of infection which they are treating with antibiotics through an IV. He's still in a lot of pain but getting better. He's still running a fever too.

After Roger took my mom home from being at the hospital with us, he was on his way back to the hospital when the truck stopped running on the high way. We had it towed yesterday and the garage said it was the battery but after changing the battery it sounds like the engine is going to seize... this won't be covered by the warranty if we can't produce proof of regular oil changes, which we can't....so we might be screwed with that.

Sunday night after being at the hospital all day we went to Dawn's apartment for dinner since it's close to the hospital and we stayed for a few hours... then when we were leaving, the steps were slippery cause of rain and I fell down them... my back is bruised badly along with my arm and a spot on my leg. I am really sore still.

Oh and on Saturday, my niece and her husband who just had their baby last week, were driving and were hit by another car, totaling their van...no one was hurt though, except a few bruises.

So.. that was my weekend from hell.... so ready for something good to start happening...although I am thankful that there were no more serious things than this... my brother is ok so far, Cody is ok because we caught it and no one hurt in the accident....so there are blessings included too.

BTW, the doctor said that this has been building with Cody for a while now, he couldn't believe Cody wasn't sick till Friday or had severe pain till Sunday... he said it all started way before Friday.

and we get to add a few more things....
Cody isn't on our insurance any more, and they never informed us...so now we have to figure out how to pay for his hospital bill if he can't get help from the state for it.

On top of that something else came up this afternoon.... have to try to handle that situation tomorrow....

and the next few days on the calendar are WTF.... I can see where this is going......
