I miss snow.
I know.

Hey, FS! Where have you been? I hope you're well.

 

[Lilianna23]

Good morning or evening according to your time zone. I am just sitting having breakfast with my mum. Then it’s an eight hour drive to N Devon to see my grandchildren for a few days. I will pop by the Bar when I can but they are my priority when I get there.

Take care everyone!

Enjoy your grands, G! Nothing better than those little arms around your neck!

Good morning all. I log in a little later than normal to find I've missed all the fun!

My attendance will be sporadic over the next week as I am returning to the UK for Mum's funeral. Play nicely and see you on the other side. I will endeavour to pop in when I can with the occasional 'bon mot' here and there.

My father died from sepsis which was a complication from GI surgery. It was painful to watch him slowly pass.

I'm very sorry, B2. It's so much harder for families to watch their loved ones suffer.

And, what are you doing up so early on a Sunday morning? Did you bring the feathers?

 

[Oldermom935]

I agree. I am glad you returned. I am sorry you were subject of a troll.

We all had fun... he's still jerking, I mean lurking...

Thanks. I did bring feathers. And I am up because my old dog has a timer on his bladder. When the timer goes off, I have to let him out. Then he wants food too! So on goes the coffee pot as I can’t get back to sleep.

Have a safe trip, and again our condolences

More about sepsis: most of the Hospitals in my area have joined to share their experiences and plans to prevent sepsis during patient procedures and hospital stays. It’s been working. More need to do this. Preventing disease and illnesses should be our collective priority.

My friend has a pic line and both times were touch and go. No hospital would accept her either times because she a rare disease patient and we literally had to force them to. The first time we had to call in the state. I said good bye to her both times, but we persevered and she survived.

Never underestimate the power of firm persistence!

I also forced strongly encouraged the MD to transfer my SIL to the ICU. I could hear the nurses making fun of me when I accompanied her there at about midnight. About 0500, my BIL called to let me know she had decompensated and was placed on a ventilator.

I was there every day requesting orders in line with best practices. I worked as a specialist nurse in a Trauma center; I was also a professor teaching critical care Nursing. My SIL was in a community hospital. Not a bad place, just not as up to date on the literature as I was used to practicing.

I recall uptake of mercury requires methylation by bacteria. There was a release of mercury into St. Clair River and methylation occurred resulting in banning of fish consumption from the River.

This is something I did not know! Thanks, B2!

 

[Lilianna23]

So Byron You probably didn’t know him, he was from the beginning until he died 10 yrs ago, he was interesting…
I’m a bit biased about him though

I did not know Byron. I've only been here about 1.5 years.

 

[Lilianna23]

They tend to get issues around 22 yrs!

I've never kept any that long. So far! My truck is a 2009 with only about 15K miles on it. It was my husband's.

 

[Dayhoosier]

Good morning all *raises coffee mug* here's to another soggy Sunday.....and here's to troll free days

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

This is something I did not know! Thanks, B2!

You are welcome. The interface between our environment and health is more intricate than most believe. A cluster of GI illnesses in Milwaukee suddenly made clear a major weather event had overwhelmed the water treatment system allowing a GI parasite into drinking water. The alarm sounded in the ER rooms throughout the City.

 

[Lilianna23]

My day plan: bake breakfast cookies, head to Trader Joe’s, go for a walk, see friends in the afternoon, my old dog walk, and a good night sleep.

Sounds like a wonderful day! I'm going to tackle my yard today. My neighbor is going to let me borrow her battery lawn mower so I can see if I like it.

I spent Saturday bending over picking up yard debris left by the bomb cyclone we had in November (I think!).

I discovered I no longer have a wheelbarrow; I think it was stolen by the construction weasels. So I used the grass seed spreader. I have a PINK wheelbarrow on order!

 

[Lilianna23]

I caught Lili!

Squeal! Break put those feathers! ️

Take care, NC! We'll keep the light on for you!

Then I'm glad I'm still up for my feather torture! ️

So, we have to use clean arrows on him?

Gut fish first and don't clean the knife.

Exactly! CMS has a Sepsis Guidelines with a complete management bundle, flowcharts, and Quality measures.

In my final job as Quality Manager, it was one of the Core Measures we monitored. As more hospitals are gathered into large Healthcare systems, it becomes easier to share education and experiences. The small community hospital that cared for my SIL was subsumed into the larger hospital system where I worked.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Gut fish first and don't clean the knife.

Good morning Wat. I was not sure if I should applaud or laugh or both.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

My parents ALWAYS had standard shift vehicles. We all learned to drive a stick. My mother was mortally offended when she had to purchase an automatic Prius!

One more reason that Wat likes his anvil-mobiles.


That and they will still run happily after a EMP event.

It's why Public Health is so important! We can't possibly treat everything in hospitals. If Public Health is cut, people will die unnecessarily.
