Another hospital visit...but luckily not mine!!

Source::http://lifeaftergastrectomy.wordpress.com/2010/12/17/another-hospital-visit-but-luckily-not-mine/

I was very pleased to return a very special favor to a good friend. She needed a ride to the hospital for a routine colonoscopy. Considering that I have already “been there/done that” I was able to keep her thinking positively. Everything turned out okay and she tooted her way home in my car blissfully mellowed from the medications.

On the downside, I will be meeting with the surgeon on January 13th to discuss when to plan the 2nd surgical intervention. My case was presented to the group of GI docs and surgeons last week. It was a doctor group consensus that I have a partial blockage that needs to be resolved. This will solve part of the problems. I am currently on a low starting dose of a medication that might address the other problem. It has a downside of lowering blood pressure and mine is already plenty low. So, I monitor both my blood sugars and my blood pressure throughout the day. Today they upped the dose so if there are going to e problems they will probably be present soon enough.

I will be posting daily – my goal! These will be general postings about my observations of the world around me. I think you will enjoy my twisted displays of humor.

They bumped me from 12-hour pump cycle back up to a 14-hour pump cycle because I was having some serious sugar crashes during the time off the pump.

I’ve decided not to post anymore about this issue until after I meet the surgeon on the 13th of January. DON’T PANIC! I will still be posting but not about the upcoming surgery. I am not in a good place about the surgery and my chances for “recovery”. I will chat about this later. Right now, I just want to keep my strength about for the holidays. They are going to be draining me as it is – emotionally, physically and financially.

I am plugging along on TPN/iv nutrition. I’ve had problems with swollen joints, water weight gain, hair loss, bruises, cold feet and hands, sore muscles…..but I know it make take some time to tweaking my formula. I am trying to start a very light exercise program right now to build up so much of the muscles lost during the last year.

Gilding the Lily: Another Supercar Reveal

First we heard the shouts about the McLaren MP4-12C, and the Mercedes SLS AMG made its own splash less than a day later. Apparently, Lamborghini has had enough of not being in the limelight. Ahead of its Frankfurt debut, the Italian supercar stalwart has revealed its own shots (or had them revealed despite their efforts — still unclear) of the new Reventon Roadster.

The scoop on the new drop-top (following the coupe’s debut two years after the 2007 Frankfurt show): Only 20 of the machines will be made next year, at a cost of $1.67 million each; that buys you, at the very least, the same massive 6.7-liter V12 engine found under the hood of the Murcielago.

Funny aside: About two years ago I got a desperate call from the Web editor of Popular Science; she said, essentially, that one of her car writers assigned to the Reventon press reveal had to duck out, and could she put me on a plane to Italy that afternoon in order to test-drive the new Lambo the next day? Sadly, I was on deadline for another project, and had to decline (despite every instinct telling me I should drop the conflicting assignment). I’ve regretted it ever since. The moral of the story is: Never say no to someone offering you a free trip to Italy to drive the newest supercar from Lamborghini.

Just Another Pandora's Box (2010) DVDRip x264-Amy

In Just Another Pandora's Box, everything old is new again - even if you don't quite know where you've seen it before. Director Jeff Lau directs this cameo-a-minute costume comedy that parodies many films, most of them also directed by Jeff Lau. The biggest non-Lau films to get skewered: Titanic and especially Red Cliff, with the latter providing the basis for the plot. Lau's trademark postmodern romance and self-referential jokes also return, and combine with sight gags and anachronisms to help make Just Another Pandora's Box creative and surprising. That is, when everything isn't weighed down by the aimless, momentum-killing story. Like most nonsense comedies, Just Another Pandora's Box is a hit and miss affair that depends largely on audience knowledge and goodwill to make it a success. If all else fails, you can simply play "spot the star".
