Last evening my wife fell ill. It was scarily reminiscent of when Pop went down last year.
She spent the night in the hospital, Kay stayed with her. I’m beginning to hate that place.
Tests have all come back fine. That’s kind of scary in itself.
I’m off to the hospital.
again.

About me…
(Click the pic for more about me.)
Sometimes there are things I want to address, but outside the context of UDoJ. I’ve been thinking about setting up a separate blog for that.
Here it is.
First of all, I was going to say that I’m the author of U Dream Of Janie and Kissing Corporal Kate. But the truth is the girls have taken on such a life of their own that I’m really just the secretary that takes dictation.

Keep us posted! *hug*

Thanks Amanda.
I’m just back from the hospital. In an annoying non-development, there aren’t any beds available in the hospital, so she spent the entire night in a room in the E.R. Despite the circumstances, they’re only allowing her one visitor at a time.
Kay spent the night in a recliner in the room, and was still pretty much asleep when I got there, so I made my visit short so Kay could go back in and the two of them could go back to sleep.
January 7, 2008 at 1:09 pm
How maddening!
I’m thinking of you all and hoping for a quick recovery from whatever it turns out to be!
January 7, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Thanks Elizabeth.
I just got word that she’s in a room, and I’m on my way back over there now.
I’m so tired I probably shouldn’t even be driving, but I’d rather risk death by vehicular accident than death by abandoned spouse.
The former sounds much more pleasant.
January 7, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Oh man I feel your fear. I hope they discover a simple problem that can be easily fixed.
To give you some hope: Kendra is better in almost every way since getting on the medicine for her seizures. Unexpected but wonderful.
January 7, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Hey take care of yourself too. I hope the doctors are able to figure out what’s going on today.
January 8, 2008 at 2:30 am
Thinking about you and your wife Lou. I really hope all turns out for the best dear.
January 8, 2008 at 1:00 pm
It’s good to hear that about Kendra, Kevin. Give her our best.
No news so far, just lots of tests and trying to figure it out.
January 8, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Hopefully you’ll get solid, easy to address, answers quickly. Limbo is hell. (Actually I think Limbo refers to purgatory, but you get my drift.)
January 8, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Got it. Eleventy bajillion docs in today, twice as many tests run. So far they’ve ruled out a neurological event (i.e. seizure).
Progress, I suppose. The good news is that it doesn’t appear to have been anything major.
January 8, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Maybe she thought for a second about your incredible manliness and swooned?
January 8, 2008 at 7:31 pm
It’s been known to happen.
January 8, 2008 at 9:15 pm
[...] me if this post is a bit haphazard and lacking in the derision and disgust it deserves, but given The Boy’s family situation I felt it was more important to put a post up than to give it the attention it really needs. [...]
January 8, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Chin up dude, you’re in my thoughts.
January 8, 2008 at 11:35 pm
Thanks Javier. Just back from the hospital again, nothing new to report.
January 9, 2008 at 10:20 am
Back to the hospital.
Doc Pace was in again yesterday (I love that guy). He’s currently leaning toward Gastric dumping syndrome. The symptoms and circumstances fit, but it’s not confirmed. The GI will be in today.
Peace.
January 10, 2008 at 1:41 am
I hope you got some good news.
January 10, 2008 at 8:20 am
Not a peep since yesterday morning. Doc Pace did mention to her that she’d go home today in the “worst case scenario”.
She’s happy ’bout that.
January 10, 2008 at 10:51 am
Yikes! Quick, clean the house and buy flowers.
January 10, 2008 at 11:08 am
Going home with you is the WORST case scenario, huh? You must be really tough on her.
January 10, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Too late, Kym. She’ll be home early this afternoon, but I have to take my Pop about an hour out of town for one of his doctor appointments. I’m leaving in a half-hour.
Yeah Kevin, apparently I suck!
January 10, 2008 at 1:58 pm
nice too hear that Kay is okay and that it’s probably nothing serious. One for the good guys! Give her well wishes from the clowning peanut gallery.
January 10, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Not knowing what’s wrong with a loved one is the worst, been there done that never want to go back. I’m glad Kay is coming home, even the best hospitals are still depressing.
wishing you all the best
January 10, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Y’all confused me for a minute. My wife Jane was in the hospital, my daughter Kay just stayed with her the first night.
I’ll pass along your well wishes anyway though. Thanks.
January 10, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Oh, and P.S.
She’s home and going 90mph again.
January 10, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Good to hear, Lou.
January 10, 2008 at 5:50 pm
Thanks BR.
January 10, 2008 at 7:29 pm
That’s what I get for poor reading skillz. Great news, but you might want to issue a speeding ticket, ninety is dangerous.
January 10, 2008 at 10:02 pm
No. Damned. Way.
She’s mean.
January 10, 2008 at 10:52 pm
She has to go so fast because she’s probably trying to clean up after you. Poor lady, dirty house no flowers…
January 11, 2008 at 10:49 am
I probably should have phrased that as “She’s home and back out, making sure the rubber on the car tires doesn’t get cold”.
January 11, 2008 at 10:50 am
P.S. I’m on strike. I won’t clean up messes I don’t create.
January 11, 2008 at 10:53 am
P.P.S. I seem to be the only one who notices.
January 11, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Oddly, I have the same problem!
