It’s been a pretty good week. We got a new car, and he passed a huge hurdle once we got online registration up and running for MFF. Work has been steady and shows signs of getting even busier, which is not a bad thing.
The one down note was that my dad had to go back into the hospital Wednesday night because they found he was leaking cerebrospinal fluid – about 100-150 cc’s worth. Eek! The whole idea gives me the willies. The good news is that they were able to go in and fix the problem last night (there was a small laceration in the dura, or membrane around the spinal cord) They patched the hole with a surgical cyanoacrylate adhesive. Yep, super glue. Hmm, I wonder where that came from, eh, ladyinthetower? He’ll be in the hospital until Sunday, but I think that’s more to make sure that he stays flat on his back and doesn’t push himself quite as hard as he did initially after the surgery. Your thoughts and prayers are very much appreciated!
Tomorrow afternoon we’re off to the wilds of McHenry County once again to take takaza‘s mother to lunch for her 60th birthday. Sunday we’ll be gadding about Chicago on a top-secret mission! Woo!
Finally, and this is going to come a huge surprise to everyone, I know, but it’s true: Roger Ebert hated Deuce Bigelow: European Gigolo. But it sure makes for quite the entertaining review!
I’m all tingly waiting for Deuce… CAN’T…WAIT
merf…I hope everything is ok for your father *hugs*
on that note, i had heard about using superglue to mend wounds.
Tuesday, I sliced my thumb on a sharp putty knife and as usual,
the cut would open and close whenever i flexed my thumb and it
drove me nuts! i decided to try supergluing it and …..IT worked!
I of course, cleaned it well before glueing ^_^
As for Deuce? well, the name kinda said it all 😛
Hehe. One could only wish that McHenry County still had wilds. At the rate things are going out here, soon we won’t even have a cornfield, it will all be subdivided into quarter acre lots with three-eighths acre houses on them. (Yes, I know. But that’s the way they look.)
your dad
sorry, not super glue, just one VERY tight suture, Berrer damn work, I’m tired of this hospital doo-doo!!!!!
your dad
sorry,”BERRER” should read BETTER- NOT been a good day, had to leave before I showed my TRUE colors! There are times when I can be TRULY bitchy…..like when aid is requested and, FINALLY, administered two (2!) hours later.
eep! Medical stuff everywhere!
Hope your dad heals up OK, Dunc!
Ebert’s low-end reviews are always the best… I get all tingly when I see anything below two stars, because they tend to be (justifiably) brutal.
