You're NOTHING but a good husband. But something tells me you probably have a gem of a wife. :)

Ahhh. I think it’s time to change it, if not for expediency but for NOTHING.

Wow, there's some cool stuff in there. I'm going to have to do NOTHING but study up on those techniques.

Now tell us the truth - did you write that? Especially the how to do NOTHING on the job?

I didn’t write it but I did pass on many of my NOTHING skills to as many peers as I could over my last few working years. Some listened, some were too afraid, some never thought of it and some were, huh ? You do that ? Yep, every chance I can get. Thing is, once someone is set in their ways, well, my efforts were moot. I first learned the benefits of NOTHING as a small child. I had tried walking on my own and I was good at it. So, I tried it in front of my parental units. They were so excited ! Immediately I hit the deck and knew I was on to something big. So, I stayed there, looking helpless and then I crawled my way to my room.
From that point on, I used my NOTHINGNESS to get my way. Worked every time.

I hope it's NOTHING serious.. But trips to the ER are by nature serious.. Sending a prayer up..

Abby10 02-18-2018 12:47 AM

Thanks, K. Just trying to keep cool here. It's probably NOTHING more than a kidney stone, although hubby tells me the pain is definitely not NOTHING. Poor guy.....I'm still waiting to hear for sure what is going on. Thanks for prayers. Needed to "talk" to someone and saw you and W were still online.

Ouch.. Kidney stone pain is about 12 levels above NOTHING.. Hopefully that's all it is.. I know it's no fun but at least it's treatable.

Yes, that's what I'm thinking, and praying for it to be NOTHING more. Again, thanks for prayers and concern.

NOTHING but great news. Are they going to send him home or keep him for the night?

Abby10 02-18-2018 02:51 AM

We'll probably be on our way home shortly. He's NOTHING but zonked out and sleeping like a baby right now from the pain meds.

Glad they took care of the pain for now.. I'm off to NOTHING NOTHING Land myself..

Be careful driving home. I'm sure it's been NOTHING but a long day for you..

Wiotte 02-18-2018 08:26 AM

Looks like our Kommander was on watch last night doing what any NOTHING would do for another NOTHING. Good work K and NOTHING but chicken soup for Abby’s lesser half.

“ODE TO A KIDNEY STONE"

“ I think next week I'll celebrate,
because on you they'll operate,
before the 'parting of the ways',
I have some final words to say...

You lay there cold and insincere,
between my navel and my rear,
an ugly stone--a worthless gem
just nesting in my abdomen.

I've carried you these many years,
you've shared my joys and secret fears,
I've nurtured you since you were born
inside my kidney, safe and warm.

I've cursed at you, my enlarged friend
and wished that your existence end,
I've guzzled beer that gave me gas
but still, you just refused to pass!

But soon, quite soon, we'll bid farewell,
here's hoping that there's room in Hell,
and once you've gone I'll be relieved,
a Kodak moment--yes, indeed!!

Goodbye, adieu and adios,
to your demise I'll drink a toast.”

Abby10 02-18-2018 10:46 AM

LOL. And that's why there is NOTHING better than 2 different brothers. The support each one gives in their own way is invaluable. Thanks to both of you. Must share this with hubby if I can keep him awake long enough. He doesn't take too kindly to pain killers but this is definitely a time when one needs them!

Kenswing 02-18-2018 11:45 AM

Woke up to 6+ inches of snow. Mrs. Howell is NOTHING but mad. She went to work today and about a quarter of the hospital called in sick. It's NOTHING but amazing that a little snow can cripple this state.

Oh wow! Poor thing.....I know how that feels. Sometimes it doesn't pay to be NOTHING but dedicated. Yet, some of us are just made that way and it's difficult to change.

I remember a snowstorm here on a Saturday several years ago, I was scheduled to open up that day so I persevered through the storm to get there and saw the parking lot was not even plowed. So I called my boss to see where I could park and what he wanted me to do about the lot for customer parking. He said, "What are you doing there?" Apparently he just assumed I would know he wasn't planning to open that day.........:rant-rave:

But I remember from my hospital days, it was always the luck of the draw who would show. Your wife sounds like NOTHING but a good woman and a dedicated nurse. :thumbup:

Yeah, I don't know how she does it. After 35+ years as a nurse she still likes it most days.

She says they're so short handed that the hospital has arranged for the Sheriff and hospital security to pick up anyone willing to come in. NOTHING but a state of emergency.. lol

Is Hubby conscious yet? How's he feeling?

Abby10 02-18-2018 12:54 PM

He is still NOTHING but zonked out. Wakes up for a few, let's me know he's alive, and then out he goes again. When he first woke up, I made him a special breakfast, but he fell asleep again before it was even ready.

He has dealt with severe back pain most of his life and never took any pain meds, not even Tylenol. (I call him the anti-drug pharmacist - not really good for business - lol) He will do anything not to have to take medicine so when he really needs it, it doesn't take much. Needless to say, it will be NOTHING but a quiet day around here.

I swear, medical people are NOTHING but the worst when it comes to taking meds.

At least he's getting some good rest..

NOTHING but right about that. I'm not much better. When I go for a check-up, before writing a prescription my doctor always asks me "Are you going to take this if I write for it?". I've been going to her for a long time - she knows me too well. :sigh:

Going so far as to forgetting to record it is truly doing NOTHING - good job!

As far as hubby goes, he is still a suffering pup. I feel bad for him. In the past, he usually passes it pretty quickly - not this time. Of course, the pain ebbs and flows. Not fun.

Did they at least blast his stones so he could pass smaller pieces? Either way it's NOTHING but painful..

I'm going in for my annual checkup today.. I've gained 3 pounds since last year. I'm sure I'm in for a lecture.. I'm going to blame it on the cruise.. lol

Are you kidding? I would say after a cruise 3 pounds is NOTHING. I would definitely use that as an excuse! lol

About the stones, no. Actually his have never been really big and he always passed them within 24 hours of the onset of pain. This time it is still small enough to pass easily on it's own according to the CAT scan, but the darn bugger just doesn't want to come out - you know, like W's poem says :( Then there's the common side effect of those darn pain killers which he isn't much enjoying either. He's just not used to it taking this long and I think he's getting frustrated. I guess I'm kind of glad I have to go to work this afternoon because it makes me frustrated to watch him and not be able to do anything.

Blame It On The Bossa Nova! 2 or 3 lbs. I gain that just thinking about food. You should feel good about that number it's Nothing to sneeze at.

Mrs. Abby, sorry for the stones. Just observed a case of Diverticu-something last week here at the Casa. The pain is far from nothing. Both patients are :super:, :bigbow:

She didn't give me too hard of a time. I told her it was because of the cruise and that we're snow bound and not getting the exercise I normally would.. lol

NOTHING but a clean bill of health until next year..
