Ragnar update and Gathering

[helga]

Please hurry up and get better Ragnar! Striker has gone on a hunger strike (no pun intended) and no amount of enticing by helga will get him to eat again.  He needs Ragnar there to take him hunting for some of that tasty game out there in the high hills.

Seriously though, big guy, I hope you get well soon, you are missed and loved.

*shakes head* I have always been an Ohio State fan, mostly due to the fact that the teams around me were inadequate (UCI, USC (hate with my very being) and UCLA (more a gymnastics fan of theirs)). I wanted to go to school at Ohio State, but other things got in the way. Anyway, I have been busy with training at my new job, though it's work from home, there's a TON of info I have to learn and well we were supposed to be on the floor taking calls 3 weeks ago, but no credentials and no clue when they are coming in. Typing has been painful since Wednesday when I had a chunk of skin, tissue and I think some muscle as well removed when it was found I have/had squamous cell carcinoma. Doc took it out, burned the small bits out and we are hoping he got it all, but in the meantime I have several layers of stitches inside and 9 stitches on the outside. Damn thing is 2 inches long, was only supposed to be 1 inch or slightly larger, but it went a bit more deeper and outward of the original location. Guess I should have gone in sooner.

Anyways, Rags why do you think you can go out and mow the damn yard??? I swear you are going to give those of us around you an ulcer, if you haven't already. STUBBORN ASS! Love you though... I need to go back to cleaning up my new work area, yes, shouldn't be doing this until the stitches come out, but I need the second monitor and carrying it and the chair across the room twice a day yeah, not happening... just moving craft/resin stuff into their storage areas and giving me space to put the 19 inch monitor (it has a sticker on the corner of the monitor that says, works with Windows Vista) and I will be good to go! No more musical chairs/desks every morning & evening (shifts are 11a to 7:30p). I will be around seeing what sort of trouble I can find myself in... which may not be a lot... LoL <3 <3 <3 <3

*Rags chuckles.....Fuck Ohio State
hope You get to feeling better soon and everything heals up, well I can stop the updates through spi if it gives people ulcers! chuckles
overall I can't seem to shake this, so maybe the doctors are right this time. I miss being online and hope to be back soon. I need to get My monitor adjusted and get strong enough to stay awake. rest assured I am still thinking of all of You*

Hey Bro

Hope the baby steps forward continue along with news to decipher what's going on.

Shit has absolutely hit the fan over here. I'll tell ya about it when you're better.

Thanks for updates Rags and His spi

Well I have a bit of good news that I can't help spreading around to all who need to know... I got the stitches removed this morning and yesterday morning right before I got clocked in for another boring day of training that has gone on too long already, but I got word that I am cancer free! He got it all, so no more surgeries, unless we get another area that looks suspicious. Then it's off to another biopsy, and go with whatever comes my way. This is what happens when you grow up in the 70s and 80s, no sunscreen unless it was baby oil and I mostly burnt with that crap, so went without. It wasn't until the late 80s that they came out with real sunscreen, but by that point it was moot, the damage was done.

I am actually going to bed before it's 2 am, mostly due to the fact that I keep falling asleep at the computer as I am exhausted from being bored to death at work. Still in training, still no certifications for getting on the floor and taking calls, at this point we are more than ready to be doing so, instead we have been trying to help with support, answering questions about certain orders and cases. Seems we are coming up with the right answers more than the level above us. Pretty sure I will more than likely be in that position in a couple months, if not further up the ranks. <3

Take care of yourself, find a damn hospital that is going to fucking treat you, not put a band aid on the problem and shuffle you off to the next doctor. No that shit don't fly, and at this point I would honestly go after these asshole doctors, as apparently they were in the bottom rank in medical school, or got their degree in a Cracker Jack box. At least Doctor Babe has the right idea, these idiots have no clue, nor do they have the brain cells that were gifted to them at birth, or they are using them on other things not related to medical. Hell I probably could do their job better than them, but yeah, doubt they would let me in the door as your doctor while in the hospital. *shrugs* Take your time, heal as you can, and we will be here when you get out and feeling better, perhaps with more of an idea of what the fuck is going on once and for all! I also need you to make fun of me turning 50 years old finally too! <3 Love you Bro! <3

[Kimba~]

50? You're probably the baby of this group, Taryn.

[kemma]

You're loved. I care.

update from Rags
no new, news...except the Cleveland clinic is out for now, there is a three month wait... had an appointment with dr babe and she is sending him for more tests at another town 30 min away, then she will get the results directly, so he is supposed to hear from them in a couple days...fingers crossed....he is still not able to keep food down...and is getting weaker and losing his balance and doing an impersonation of a pinball machine... skin is getting thin so is bruising easily and bleeding..., but will keep an update on any new info as soon as i have it....

Not surprised about the wait for the Cleveland Clinic, as they are in serious high demand, almost as bad as the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. I am damn sure the moment that Dr Babe gets the results things will finally get figured out. Seriously don't go back to that medical lawsuit in waiting hospital, they haven't done jack shit for you and I doubt they really care, they will find their comeuppance soon I am sure. Rags STOP TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING YOURSELF! You stubborn bosk! You need to rest, though I know you are like me in that respect, things to do, I have to do them. It doesn't help you in the end, trust me. Sending all my healing energies to you and woobie, because you need it more than me. LOVE YOU BRO!

[kemma]

I'm disappointed that CC is a no go. We showed at Boston Childrens ER over the summer, with great success. I wish you could have done the same. I know you trust your Dr but I'm growing disillusioned with the Dr Babe. You deserve more! Sounds like she needs a kick in the ass.  Your Prism can handle that I'm sure. You get the pleasure of watching from the front row! See, not always bad to delegate, Rags. HINT HINT.

My teen starts school Monday!! I still celebrate this hard fought win, especially since we had to put down her pig last week, the one she used as her go-to coping skill. It was more than a best friend, it was a life saver. Devastated as she was, that girl held/loved her, as she left us to march like the little warrior she was, across that Rainbow Bridge.

Thinking mostly good things about you! LOL

[Kimba~]

Has Rags been able to tolerate dialysis?

[kemma]

Hey Bro!

I'm taking lessons from you! Broke my arm and drove myself to the hospital-Viking Strong-  course you would have splinted the damn thing yourself or not even bothered but there are limits to my umm, strength -chuckles-.

Now tell me - How the heck are you?? -softens- Please.
