COBRA SCOTTY Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 So sorry to hear about your son Robert and the absolute pain , suffering it brings to your family and all of us here. I to have a son whom i worry about each and every day. He is 21 years old and does not make the best decisions like most at that age. I know most of the things he does even though he does not live with us we are a very close family , but that does not help easy the pain and suffering along with all the dark thoughts that consume my wife and I that one day we will recieve that call. I can only tell you that I have been inconsolable at times with all of this and my wifes school closing at the end of this school year, no job yet for next year. Additionally, my contract is expiring soon with Ford Motor Co. and we have no certainty in our future. So if you feel the way I do and many others here at Team Shelby do not worry you are not alone. Just make sure that you all support each other and get the help you or your family needs even if you do not think you need it ; you do. We all need help in these extremely tuff times that we are living in and finding someone to talk to or getting medication for it is perfectly normal. May God bless you, your son and entire family. Respectfully, Scotty n Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kstrong Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Hey cardude. Sending Ethan a little something this Saturday. It may make him laugh. I mean laugh. I mean really, really laugh. :P It usually takes a couple weeks for the stuff I mail to show up. Its the dogs fault. :dog: :dog: The sled drivers, they are not the problem. You see a little CC or Captain Morgan and they are happy. :tequila: About the dogs... You see I pack enough back bacon for the trip, but the varments can not stop the eating. They run out of food at the US border. :huh: Then the packages wait. and wait, and wait, until some one feels sorry for the dogs and feeds them. :do what: Dogs feel better, they :burnout: and Ethan's package arrives.

Respectfully, Scotty n Peggy Hey scotty sorry to hear all of this if you could speak to my mom she will tell all her grey hair is from me !!! My parents were from italy old fashion and strict out of 3 sibling I was always in trouble , failing school chased by the cops the even use to wait for me at my house. Do to my street racing and drinking girls would ring my bell at 3am looking for me and my parents would flip out. I can't tell you how many people and cars my father had to buy or pay off to keep me out of trouble. While my dad was over seas with military sea lift command he still was writing checks. I went to college for a day they said there were no inside parking left so screw that. I poor mom would have to chase me around when drunk and my friends would dump in front on my house. Plus me sleeping with neighbors daughters didn't help much But here I am worked for the F.B.I then NYPD and made it there for 15yrs till I got sick and flip 2 houses making money on that and still going. Yes people were shocked to hear of my employment more like terrified. So I'm sure your son will wake up soon if not I be glad to talk to him !!!!

socalwrench Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Ah, a j tube insertion. Hopefully, it will stay put this time. I didn't know he needed tube feedings. But, with CP it can happen. On a small positive note, it's a common procedure. Not that it's any less stressful, but that issue is fairly common. Here you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalwrench Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Yeah, until the RN gets those lovely discharge papers- you're there; (assuming you don't sign out AMA). Glad to hear that the latest procedure went okay. There are so many pain meds these days, that finding the right one and the right dose can take some time. Just keep track of his pain scale, 0-10, 10 being the worst he's ever felt, and let the RN or DR know accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the big problem it is so hard to tell his level of pain.he can't tell us how bad it really feels.What happen on wednesday did not happen all at once it was ripping apart a little at a time after the second surgery .It was the inner fasha that riped open and allowed a golf ball size portion of his bowel to poke out of his body .During that time frame he would have a good day and then two bad days.We thought that it was just reflux that was hurting him.He has a history of reflux issues.We have had 14 good years he was rarely sick This all started in june of 2010. PS. I tryed your advice on posting the pic.and it worked why do you need to space out the letters after you paste it.I would never have figured that out.

PS. I tryed your advice on posting the pic.and it worked why do you need to space out the letters after you paste it.I would never have figured that out. Ah, I get it. I was under the impression that he could tell you his pain level. Something the medical staff may not tell you, is to watch his blood pressure. MOST OF THE TIME, when people are in a large amount of pain their BP will increase. I don't know your son's baseline vitals, so it's hard to tell you what numbers to be concerned with. A general rule, if you see his systolic BP, the first and/or top number, increase by 30 points, he's probably in a significant amount of pain. His pulse, aka heart rate, will probably increase as well. Again, I don't know his normal vital signs. Regarding the image. You don't need to spaces the letters out. I only did that for the example, otherwise the site would have actually taken the tag and hidden it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RACERX009 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Not nice to make fun of the mentally challenged!! I have to say if you have tried the mental ward. You have not had a great vacation with the drugs they give you. You can fly to any destination and have any woman you like. Last time for me I was in jamacia puffing on blunt in a hot tub. With 3 lasts and my wife was serving to drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
