It's been a crazy few days. *sighs* Copied this from a message to a friend:

Sorry it took me so long to respond. My aunt thought she had the stomach flu this weekend but when Mom called her on Monday we found out she'd went to the hospital Sunday night. They said she had a blockage of some sort and scheduled to put the scope down her throat to check it out and to try to clear it. She was supposed to have the procedure around 4PM Monday but she started getting worse so they did it around Noon. Long story short, she was either septic or going septic and wound up in the ICU and nearly died. They even had to put her on a ventilator because her BP was so high they didn't want her body to do anything but calm down. She had kidney stones that got into or behind? her liver and they got infected and it started going into her bloodstream so I guess she was septic. I got a call from my cousin saying that the next 3 hours were critical and I promptly started a prayer chain. By the time we got there Monday evening she was doing slightly better and they were going to take her off some medications so she could wake up. They wound up taking her off of the ventilator that night and said they believed she was out of the woods yesterday. So we spent the last couple of days going to visit her in the hospital and I'm behind on everything.








Tam-I'm not sure I ever want to eat cabbage again after the bad coleslaw I got at a restaurant the other day. Let's just say my intestines did not appreciate it.










Moi-I hope you can find out. It's so sad to lose that kind of info. I love genealogy but I'm too lazy to work on it for my family. My grandma used to do a lot of it and my dad is currently working on some though. Yeah, it worries a lot of people to have their DNA tested but I'm kind of ok with them catching killers because of it. I don't like people's privacy being violated though. I guess I have mixed feelings on it.

Hide her purse. XD Sounds like something my mom would do. Except for change, she's obsessed with it. O.O She'll take anybody's change. XD

Been there. XD Now I just try to tell people how I feel before I get that upset. It doesn't always work though.

Awww. It's nice when someone can make you crack in a good way.

Uh oh. *hugs* Have you gotten your medication yet? No sleep is rough. I'm a lunatic when I don't get any sleep.

Such a cute picture!

My dad wouldn't let me fish when we went when I was that age. But I guess one of the pike could have pulled me in. Wasn't why. He just always did things, and we stood on the side. I'm starting to feel embarrassed about my native heritage for the first time, but the native people at the farmers market and who live at the drying out place behind my building are jerks who do loud powwow music and acting superior.

Rayven... *BIG hug* Man. I'm glad she's alright. I wish I could have known so I could pray for her, but I understand the not being online much. I'm glad she's getting better. Also, coleslaw is bad to me anytime. *more hug*

LOL! Oh dear!

Speaking of gone, all the health food stores that I know of in my walking distance are gone. I have to figure out where to find my supplements, because I can't even digest food without the one of them.

Covid. They said it was because of Covid.

Yeah. There was one here for like twenty years. I finally started eating at it just in 2019, and then Covid came, and no more pho in quick walking distance, because the restaurant closed.
