Mom's In Hospital But Should Be OK -- What A...

Just wanted to let you know that Mom (aka Mme. Belveeta) is in the hospital now; last night she fell and hurt her knee, and she hasn't seen a doctor for quite a while so she called for help. Dad's been able to help her around to some extent. She has been thinking of going to a more permanent care facility (than home) but I think that the county may have some visiting nurses who could also help. I know she could use an upgrade on her nutrition as she indulges too much on those inflammatory baked goods -- not good at all for a diabetic! Dad visited her today and will be back tomorrow, so hopefully she'll be back home before too long.

It's been quite a week since Dad got a new muffler for the car PLUS we got a new water heater (the old one was leaking quite a bit). And I finally got my "Exquisite Creatures" insect calendar -- no wonder it took so long, the seller is based in the UK!

Today / tonight it looks like we are getting back into winter after a nearly-spring break -- just at the right time since all the snow has melted!

This is turning into a much gloomier month than November was last year, though the year did seem to start out with a lot of promise.

If you want some amazing and simple homemade health solutions, I would urge everyone to check out "The Remedy" on The Micro Effect. This program plays on Saturday nights from 7 to 9 (Central time) and the host is Tony Pantalleresco. You can get more information from several different sources: TheMicroEffect.com, HealthAxis.com, and AugmentInForce.50webs.com. The last one has been his home base and it's a bit chaotic but really worth your perusal. Tonight he's been talking about adding a couple bottles of hydrogen peroxide to your humidifier (a vaporizer would probably work too) to oxygenate and purify your air, plus an invigorating blend of bath salts. His remedies are easy to make and don't cost a lot of money. How can you lose?! (He's based in Windsor, Ontario, Canada too).

Guess that's about all for now, but I definitely have a lot more "potent postables" to add to the mix. Have a wonderful weekend and keep us in your thoughts and prayers!

Thanks! I bet they will give her some great ideas and options for future care and maintenance. And I think we could all use those in these chilly times! Thanks for your comments and have a peaceful weekend.

I hope she gets better soon... I do all I can to avoid falling myself.

Yes -- we definitely need to work on clearing more pathways here but it shouldn't take much to do that. We could use some more bookshelves! Thanks for your comments and healing thoughts for the weekend.

I hope your mother gets better soon.

Thanks! It will give her some new perspectives and ideas -- I think she enjoyed those young guys who took her away too. Thanks for your comments and have a warm weekend!

It's way too warm for January here....

Whoo -- send some of that this way! And thanks for your comments and healing thoughts. Have a great one!

I hope your mom gets better quick! We had a nice couple of days and now it's snowing again.

Visionaerie B. Jan 13, 2013, 8:01pm UTC

Thanks -- yes, I think we got about an inch and a half and it was neat to see it at night. Mom's going to be rehabilitated at the hospital's other branch so that will be pretty handy. She used to be a nurse's aide so she will probably feel right at home! Thanks for your comments and have a sweet week.

Vis, hope your mom gets healed up and that you all find good solutions for her care. I just got out of the hospital myself and am so glad to be home!

Visionaerie B. Jan 13, 2013, 8:04pm UTC

So great to have you back! I know there are a lot of funky things (germs, viruses, etc.) going around so I added a little black elderberry to my tea today. I've got more of those herbal goodies coming soon too. Thanks for your comments and best of healing thoughts and prayers for the week and 2013!

Mine wasn't for the flu. I had a large thyroid tumor and had surgery to remove half of the thyroid. The doc said of the six surgeries he did Thursday, mine was the most difficult. I have a four inch incision across my neck. :(

Visionaerie B. Jan 13, 2013, 9:04pm UTC

Wow -- that's really scary! Mom had her thyroid destroyed and takes Synthroid for that hormone. Did you ever hear about this guy named Sidney Ross Singer who has a site called KillerCulture.com? It's all about different environmental factors in health -- like raising the head side of your bed can help you sleep better, and many other things like that. It's pretty amazing. Hope you are feeling better now and we'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers. I had a pilonidal cyst taken off (near the base of my spine in the "nether regions") years ago and that was a harrowing-enough experience! Thanks for your comments and have a good week.

Denise L. Jan 13, 2013, 9:25pm UTC

I may or may not have to take synthroid, depending on if the other half of the thyroid produces enough hormone and if I don't have to have it removed also.
Never heard of Singer, but just checked out his site. I have been sleeping in a recliner because of my lower back pain (from injury) for several years and it works well for me. I wonder if I got the tumor because of having so many CT scans the past couple of years (had kidney stone, tumor, kidney removal, etc.). I tried natural supplements the past couple of months but apparently it didn't shrink the tumor. :(

I can't imagine that the cyst removal was pleasant for you at all! Ouch.
Thanks for the prayers. :)

Visionaerie B. Jan 13, 2013, 11:36pm UTC

Yes -- when they were putting some of that antiseptic stuff down there, I nearly passed out! Then after the surgery I foolishly budged this big plastic folding crate I bought down at Venture, and accidentally opened the sutures! So they had to transport me to the local hospital and sew me up again. I just hope I don't develop one of those pesky cysts again, which can occur when you get an overgrowth of hair down there. I guess some people evidently take that Armour thyroid or Lugol's iodine, if it's still available. Man, you've sure been through a lot too! I had laser eye surgery back in the early '90's to repair blood vessels and I still have an obscured view in my left eye. But I suspect there's a way to fix it if I ever wanted to. Just glad I've never had kidney stones like both my brothers did -- no wonder I'm always drinking water! Thanks for sharing your story / comments and have a peaceful week.

Thanks! It must be a highly-rated hospital so she should be in good hands. I think we could all use some kind of spa treatment -- maybe we need a mobile one that comes around! Thanks for your comments and have a great week.

Thanks -- and we'll have to expand that to our country and the world at large. Have a great one and blessings for the new week!

Thanks -- indeed. Hopefully she'll get a dietary upgrade to help out with that too. Thanks for your comments and have an excellent year!

Sorry to hear about your Mother. Happy that she will be ok. When things happen they seem to happen all at once.

Visionaerie B. Jan 13, 2013, 8:34pm UTC

That's for sure! It's almost like the holidays left a toxic vapor trail that keeps reinfecting us! But I think a little winter may freeze it out. Thanks for your comments and have a warm week!
