THE ACCIDENTAL WEEKEND! UGH!

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 15:02:58 GMT

This has been one HELL of a bad past few days! I'm running ragged!

On Saturday my brother Jeff had a freak accident and fell and broke two bones in his leg and his ankle. It was a crazy thing and we had a horrible day at the local hospital -- they screwed around for hours b/c it was the weekend/holiday; when they finally started doing something (five hours later) he lost the pulse in his foot; and it was a mad rush to get him to the allegheny trauma center an hour and fifteen minutes away.

Then that was another story. He was supposed to have surgery immediately when he got there; they cut off all clothes and scared the crap out of him. But they got the pulse back in his foot, so they made him wait there til almost midnight, then admitted him. They said we'll do surgery at six am Sunday.

So my parents were with him all day, they came home after midnight went to sleep and up at five am. Jeff called and said the surgery was still on, so they rushed around to try and get ready to leave. THEN Jeff called fifteen minutes later. and said a nurse came in and said they might not do the surgery Sunday or Monday or Tuesday. IT was RIDICULOUS! The doctors didn't want to come in on their holiday weekend and be bothered with this Jeff was in severe pain. The pain meds were doing nothing. They wouldn't feed him or give him a drink in case they still might operate -- it was a mess. Jeff was asking them to just make him unconscious so he didn't have the pain at all.

My parents were worried about blood clots or anything else that can happen from delay of treatment. So they raised some hell, and the doctors finally agreed to operate after my mom said she'd sue them all if any complications happened as a result of this delay in treatment. He had surgery on Sunday, but had some trouble afterwards. The anesthesia got him really sick and he was physically ill a LOT of times. Then he had some trouble emptying his bladder as a reaction to one of the meds they were giving him. He got a fever and still as of today has the fever and he's really uncomfortable.

He will be laid up for at LEAST five months. I don't know what will happen with his job. in PA they can hire or fire you for any reason and I don't see them keeping his job open for that long a period of time. He works with Juvenille delinquents on their community service jobs.

He is really bummed out and if you know jeff being in captivity and unable to go anywhere is going to be torture for him.

If anyone wants to send him a get well card to cheer him up, email me at jencomx3@aol.com with JEFF'S ACCIDENT in the subject line and I will give you a physical address. He doesn't have a computer.

Thanks!

Jen

I was offline for over a day because my computer hard drive died. There was no way to salvage anything on it and I lost a LOT of things -- art for PULSE stories, some PULSE stories, some short stories and other things.

I'm very stressed about it.

Charlie's Angels is one of the first things aside from superheroes I can remember REALLY loving! I'm so sad that Farrah lost her fight to cancer.

My dream was to see the Eagles versus the Steelers in the Superbowl -- then PA wins no matter what ;) But I'm happy my Steelers made it again to the Superbowl! Now they have to beat those birdies!

Totally bummed!

I was so excited to find The Miracle of the Bells on tower.com in November. I haven't seen that film in probably 15 years. I waited until Christmas Eve Eve to watch it, because I remember watching it much on a day like that many years ago.

The ad at tower.com listed this as REGION 0 and said it would play on all DVD players. I saw on the front of the DVD and back of the DVD it has a "U" on it for Universal, which I'm guessing Tower took to mean it would play on all DVD players. I thought that myself.

Until I go to put in the DVD and get "Disc Error" messages on all my DVD players. Then I examined the DVD more closely and saw on the back of the disc: 2 UK/PAL right next to the Universal.

So I'm guessing that means Region 2.

Tower.com lists they won't take returns of things that are opened. It's not the 15 bucks. I'm just bummed becase I wanted to see this movie again.

No one I know has a copy of it on VHS or DVD.

And for some reason no television channel we get here has shown it for years and years ...

Dream come true?

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 13:46:41 GMT

I found out more details of my aunt's death. My cousin didn't find her. Her sister found her. She was still warm, but when my aunt called 9-1-1, they asked her if she knew CPR and she didn't. Great Aunt V was 91 years old and had Alzheimers, but she still would go visit people when someone else drove her. She got to see a lot of Great Great neices and nephews and, aside from the Alzheimers, I don't remember her ever being sick. I don't think she was ever in the hospital or if she was, it wasn't for anything serious.

Her doctor insisted on an autopsy, because she lived alone. We all thought that was insane and it found no four play. Her showing is Thursday and the funeral is Friday.

But here's the dream come true thing ... In July I wrote about a dream I had about my dead great aunt (V's sister, Liz) here: http://pulsejenc.livejournal.com/213813.html

I just found out that my Aunt V has ALL of Aunt Liz's stuff in her basement in boxes. How weird would it be if that piece of jewlery she kept trying to give me were in one of those boxes?

My dad told her sister about the dream and she said that I must have seen a picture of Aunt Liz somewhere and that's how I described her. But my dad told her I never did.

Freaky!

Death in the Family

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 16:22:06 GMT

I just found out my great aunt died. She was on my dad's side of the family. When I was younger, she didn't like me that much for whatever reason, but these past few years she mellowed and called me one of her favorites.

I'm kind of bummed. She had some early stages of Alzheimers but insisted on still living alone. I don't have details yet, but will later. I know my cousin, my dad's best friend, Albert found her.

sighs.

Essentially ...

I just broke down and bought two Marvel Essentials from Amazon.com. I got the Dazzler first volume and the second volume of Spider-Woman. I have the first volume of Spider-Woman and love it. I have all the single issues, but I really * really * like having almost entire collections in one place like this! The second volume of Spider-Woman has some of my all-time favorite stories. I can't wait to read it again!
