Danny and I were sitting at our computers when I notices a very strong mold smell. I asked Danny if he smelled it too and he said yes. So we go downstairs and its much much stronger. He starts to check around all the pipes and anything where mold might be and I call my dad since I’m at a loss for what could be causing it but I’m worried about Alyssa and Danny’s health. So my dad comes over and we look all over the house and can’t find the smell. When we came home from the convention today we saw a vole in the kitchen that Hobo was trying to kill but it ran in the living room and under the sofa. Well turns out voles have a very strong musk smell when you upset them and it smells just like mold. Sooo this little tiny mouse like creature had me all worked up thinking “OMG we have a major mold problem”. We actually tore out some of the wall in the downstairs bathroom because we thought the pipe behind it might be leaking. Stupid voles!
I had questions about her story but I thought maybe they did things differently at other transplant centers. She wrote in her blog that she was given sierra mist right after they extubated her. My husband had to get a swallow study done and wasn’t given any kind of unthickened liquid for over a week post transplant. I also wondered how someone could have survived with a temp of 104 for a whole month or get a second transplant with a temp that high. I was always told there were very few hospitals that did second transplants and why would they transplant someone so sick? I’ve read on the cf boards where some people were questioning if they wanted to go ahead with transplant after reading what this person went through. That just really made me sick to know some people trying to get a second chance at life second guessed it because of a fictitious story.
/thread hijack
He didn’t post the picture of Alyssa and I so I figured I would post it. Plus it shows off the baby sling I made the other day. I’m so proud of myself for being able to sew in a straight line on a sewing machine lol. She feel asleep in the sling not long after he took the pic so we ended up leaving since it was late anyway.
/endthread hijackI’ll have to go check it out, I’ve always got something to say lol. I mostly blog on myspace but no one ever reads it.
I’ve heard of Munchausens before but never by internet. For the past month I’ve been following the blog of a young girl with cystic fibrosis. I found her on a cf chat board and read about how she needed a double lung transplant. She was sick and admitted to the hospital and on the verge of death (just like my husband was) when she got the call and was transplanted. As I checked day after day she would have her ups but mostly downs. I thought about her all day, sent her healing energy and checked her blogs day and night (she had a friend update her blogs while hospitalised). A giant rift formed in the cf forum where I originally found her story because some people didn’t believe her and many people were banned in the ensuing war that followed. I chose to be quiet about it and stopped posting since I remembered what we went through when Danny was in the hospital. I thought if the story is true I wouldn’t want to bring undue added stress to someone who is obviously looking for support on the internet. So still day after day I kept up with her story till they posted she needed a second transplant. Then the blog was taken down. People started to post links to this persons other sites saying she was fake and it was all made up. The truth finally came out that she indeed did not have a lung transplant and never had cystic fibrosis. I was shocked and saddened that someone would go to such lengths to make up such a lie. I felt like it was a kick in the face to those of us who have gone through what she claimed to be experiencing. People who followed her story and talked to her in chat sent her money and gifts. They even took up donations to get her a wii last december. I want to believe the goodness in people, I want to believe that things like this don’t really happen but her it is right in my face. I’m so sad for the cf community right now. How many people who are going through the strugles of cf and transplant will be shunned now for fear of it all being a lie? How many people will look at my myspace, see the pictures and story of what we went through and wonder if it never happened? I’m hurt right now, I know people out there can do horrible things but why? In the end I will still believe in people, believe what they post in blogs and on forums until I’m given proof otherwise. I would rather believe a lier then disbelieve someone who is truely suffering. Here is a link to a blog where the whole lie was discovered….
http://exposetrolls.blogspot.com/2008/08/from-paul-truth.htmlI’m really upset by this and didn’t even know he had a lung condition. He was one of my favorite comedians and I loved his show. I’m sad that he is gone 😥
At least thats what Alyssa thinks…..
mmmmm tasty tail
Why do you let her do this to me?
Ok I’m done with the cat tail
I remember hearing about that procedure but didn’t know it cost that much. I’m sure in the long run you save loads of cash not having to get birth control. I’m lucky that I don’t have to spend money one bc, its the only good side of infertility.
I think I’m just going to have them fix the filling that fell out then go back to my old dentist for a cleaning and see if he comes up with the same thing the hollywood dentist came up with. I would go to my old dentist now but he is booked through september and I don’t want to wait that long to get this hole in my tooth fixed.
I’m glad someone else seems to have a cavity every time they go. Here I figured I was the only one lol. I used to go to the same dentist for 20 years but my mother wanted me to get my teeth whitened so I had to go to this hollywood dentist since my regular dentist didn’t do it. They found an abscess in my tooth from way back when I had my wisdom teeth out and they cut my gums when I was fighting with them. It killed my tooth and I never knew it since I never had pain or any issues. So now my mom’s like “you need to go to them since that old dentist never found any of this”. I don’t like the hollywood dentist, I feel they try to talk me into stuff I don’t need. Every time I go there like “OMG your gums are horrible, blah blah blah”. They wanted me to come in every 3 months for cleaning and gave me perscription toothpaste and mouthwash. I told them I can’t afford all this stuff but they don’t care they push it on you and tell you if you don’t do it your teeth are gonna rot out of your head. So when he told me I had all these fillings I’ll need to get I’m half wondering if he’s just telling me that so I’ll have to pay them boat loads of money. I want to go back to my old dentist but he is booked for months and can’t get me in.
