RCMC #124: I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Chatting!

[LadyNimrodelle]

Good Morning RCMC!

Welcome Jake!

Shoes...LOL...I think I like it.

I also think I have a crush on Rob, but don't tell him.

OK, so I should be in the shower getting ready to go to Casa Colina - they moved grandma there last night...but I'm procrastinating. So I'll tell you all the fascinating story of how we got her to the hospital.

As I said, she refused medical treatment. But we woke up on Friday morning and found her in the floor, unable to get up. We got her as comfortable as possible, but, realizing that we couldn't just leave her there, we concocted a plan.

Mom had been forbidden to call anyone, but I was blessedly not a part of that conversation. Also, Mom didn't call 911, and neither did I. I just happened to find some EMTs outside while I was smoking, and asked them to come help us get grandma back on the couch.

Well...in actuality none of that is false, except that I called the police station and spoke with their dispatcher. Anyway, the EMTs saw how bad she was and took her to the hospital against her will. They ran a bunch of tests which verified that she did indeed have a stroke, as well as a severe UTI, blood sugar and blood pressure both off the charts.

So anyway, the damage is done, and for now it looks extensive. But she is in the best rehab facility in the state, and we'll see what they can do for her. And she's gonna have to suck it up and take her meds like a good girl. But she is motivated to get going with her PT - all she wants to do is go home, and she knows that PT is her ticket. But its going to be a long road. They are estimating 4 weeks of rehab.

Anyway, that is my story. Thanks to all you wonderful folks for the thoughts and prayers for my family.

I'd better go now, but I just needed to get all that in writing.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

I also just noticed the stars - it must be for each 10,000 posts?

Lady N - so happy to hear you guys got her the help she needed, and even better that she's motivated to get better. That's what makes all the difference!

Ok MC is acting really slow for me...

What's "the list?" It's not a hit list, is it?

List of names and titles for this thread. I can add you to the list if you think up a title. I have control of the first post in this thread..well Pengy to I think. She is Super Pengy!

Digging for Diamonds.

Clara, look what I found.

HAHA!

Shoes...LOL...I think I like it.

I see one silver star under your name... so that still goes with my guess.

yup you are right...I saw 5 yellow when I posted my last post...now there is 1 silver.

I think its some sort of star recognition for the more older and helpful members. maybe?

Whats Up......Jim

[Eagleman]

Dang my have change also......this is like the Twilight Zone!!!!Jim

[Eagleman]

It's been a crazy weekend!! Just wanted to drop in and say "HI!" before getting to bed.

Jim - I hope you feel better!!
To everyone else - Have a great Sunday!!

Kelly Girl ......Thank you...
You such a good friend...means alot......Jim

[Eagleman]

I think Kelly is right........got be something like 10,000 !

[Barbaraann]

I am guessing the silver stars are for each 10,000 posts up to 50,000. Jody/Penguin is #1 poster, and she exceeded 50,000 so they obviously stop at 50,000 recognition. Now let's see what happens when she reaches 100,000. Perhaps she will get a star color change, or perhaps they will start awarding diamonds again, which I liked way better anyway.

Obviously, the 1,000 increment are awarded the yellow/gold stars.

Shouldn't gold be better than silver?

hmmm i dnt know maybe pengy knows, maybe they changed the status of the stars those that are excessive posters that have a million posts get silver stars and those like me who are amateurs still have the yellow..i guess u can only have soo many yellow stars

[Barbaraann]

Going down the member list, with my guess does not compute. I see yellow stars where my theory says it should silver

I am confused. Perhaps someone will answer my question that I posted in Forums.
