MAGGIE UPDATE FROM MARJ:

Maggie is currently in the ICU at Brackenridge Hospital.  She was admitted on Monday morning, with indications of a heart attack.  This has now been diagnosed as obstructed anoxia brough on by sleep apnea; the symptoms are similar.  Her blood oxygen was dangerously low, and carbon dioxide levels dangerously high.  She is being kept on bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP), which should bring her carbon dioxide down to a manageable level.  She is responding to the treatment.


On this day in 2001, Maggie's baby brother Bill died of a heart attack at the age of 42. She always marks the anniversary online, but since she can't this year, she asked me to do it for her.  We don't know yet what the financial implications of this hospitalisation will be, but they will doubtless be significant; all contributions (via th Paypal link on the right) gratefully accepted.

TREADING WATER




Just et a bean and sausage burrito followed by peach crisp. Jessica the nurse has been and gone. My pulse ox was 84% after having been off O2 for an hours, so am leaving it on again today. I am so exhausted I have trouble writing simple sentences.

The sleep study has been delayed another week, paperwork issues. I hope they don't ask for the copay up front. The MD I recently left behind in favor of the new one has gotten months' worth of bills ready (funny how they had the staff to get right on that, but not to answer my health need calls, etc) so I am suddenly out an extra $150.

Some good news is that I found a temporary work-around for the "upgrade" the folks at I Can Haz Cheesburgr inflicted on their own site last week, which made made it impossible to see all the raw LOLCats flowing in. It was that stream I trawled looking for my weekly round-up. They made the change allegedly to interface between with FB, but as with all FB changes, it was bound to have a crap result on their actual users. I went to google to find other disgruntled consumers and discovered a so-far usable back-door. After I post this, I'll go assemble a LOLCat post for this week and get that up as well. Then to sleep without real rest again.
