You look hot!
Well sorry to hear that your having all of this medical issues. Stinks that sometimes medicines that are suppose to cure cause more problems than the orginal problem.
I can only offer my sympathy and well wishes as I don't know what will fix ya.
Good luck and I hope you get better very soon.

are saying "Pumpkin head? What pumpkin head? This babe is HOT!"
Shit. They got out their guns. If I don't take them to you, they'll shoot me. NOoooo!

Now look what you've done. :D

I do hope things work out better for you next week, Mae. :x

we can't have you sick like that.

All sounds horrible ... must have you in good shape before the 25th :)

btw

That last sentence ..."[b]I still look amazingly hot[/b]" :0

That's my kinda gurl ... woohoo ... go on girl keep them comming, I love them :x

Sounds like the old hit-and-miss the docs try has been more miss than hit.

that you think imaginary friends can answer the questions posted! You might think to actually consult them in your own mind than on the Internet!
Now for the question -- Why are you at Work (yes, I used that nasty -- evil word)??? And, why has your manager not sent you home???

Unpredictable Results in code, you are probably correct. Has any monitors suddenly become possessed and killed anyone in the office yet? Please inform us if that happen, and send the security video's of it.

No, I cannot tell you that I have been through it. This is a Mae issue, not a W2k issue. However, that red glow that you have may be a little 'hot' to someone out there. But then again, some people dream of blue and green aliens, so there are weirdo's out there. Who knows though, maybe there is someone that puts a pumpkin for a head on their blow up doll or something :0

I will say a quick prayer for you May. :)
At least you have the shovel incase anyone has the gall to give you crap about the issues you are currently experiencing. :D

I used to upgrade SP4 machines to SP3 -- LOL -- fixed most issues :D

Take Benadryl. This will help with the swelling if it's caused by allergic reaction. Also, the general protocol in the ER for Allergic reactions is to also give Zantac, Pepcid, Prevacid, etc... So get some OTC Pepcid or Zantac and take that as well. Yes, it's for Acid Reflux, but it has an ingredient that will help stop the allergic reactions. You may have to do several doses of this.

Prednisone will make you swell up and retain water. Cranberry juice is a natural diuretic, so get some of that and start drinking, and that may help with the fluid retention.

Good Luck!

What a thoughtful gift, while you are having a hard time getting around.

B-)

Now what can I say to upset her even more. :^0

Hum Hum I can't think of anything. :_|

Life is truly Terrible as I can not take advantage of Mae when she sick and unable to swing her Shovel. :8}

Here have a Keg of Gin while I try to think of something that should help your Fluid Retention and if it doesn't after you finish it you will not care so it's working. :p

Col ]:)

Why exactly are you at work!

There are grounds to stay off I should think.

Anyway, try a measured mix of Jack Daniels and Coke. 1/5th Jack Daniels and the rest Coke. One to be taken every 1/2 hour or so for about 4 hours.

Normally does the trick.

should have seen the look on his face every 31st October. He used to carry a candle but got bored after just the one night.

Last time I saw him he was just pie happy. Always thought he would end up in some hot soup some day but hey, what do I know.

Tried to speak to him the other day on the phone but kept getting the pips.

:-)

..... you still look amazingly hot to me.

What would you think if i sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and i'll sing you a song,
And i'll try not to sing out of key.
I get by with a little help from my friends,
I get high with a little help from my friends,
Going to try with a little help from my friends.
What do i do when my love is away.
(does it worry you to be alone)
How do i feel by the end of the day
(are you sad because you're on your own)
No i get by with a little help from my friends,
Do you need anybody,
I need somebody to love.
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.
Would you believe in a love at first sight,
Yes i'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light,
I can't tell you, but i know it's mine.
Oh i get by with a little help from my friends,
Do you need anybody,
I just need someone to love,
Could it be anybody,
I want somebody to love.
I get by with a little help from my friends,
Yes i get by with a little help from my friends,
With a little help from my friends.

I must admit to a small frisson of enjoyment during your recent cold snap but this is a bit too much. Could I request that you get a bit better - maybe not quite so puffy, not quite so red - so that I can sit back, relax and enjoy this a little more.

Neil :x

Seriously, girl. You get well! We need you on top form to keep the rest of us up to par.

p.s. Just to give you something to imagine. A few years ago I contracted Mononucleosis and half of my face swelled up (the right half) for a couple of weeks. NOT a pretty sight...

First - if you need to get rid of fluid retention, don't go the drugs way, go the herbal way. Herbal diuretics are made of natural products and work more naturally than chemical ones (i.e. you're not running to the loo every five minutes!)

Second - if you're having an allergic reaction, watch out for dry skin, dry skin patches and have an intensive moisturiser handy. From personal experience, these dry patches can occur anywhere (yes, anywhere) and if they dry too much can cause other problems.

Third - you got the wrong week. Some peeps on here already know, but I was in a five car pile up last week and I'm still recovering. Long story short, a pratt of the first order went into the back of Roger, my car (RIP) while I was stationery. He was doing 40mph. Banged forehead off dash, got an airbag deployed into my glasses, bruised coccyx, whiplash and trapped nerves in my neck and shoulder.

So, if you REALLY want to see what a red and swollen face looks like - peer me!

I'm ok and getting better; can't believe the amount of paperwork (not to mention financial loss!) this pratt has caused me.

GRRRRRR!

Mae, you still look beautiful. Anyone dares to disagree, hit them with the shovel. Hard.

And go home. You're in no fit state to be there. Self medicate with alcohol. (It's the only painkiller for me!)

Take care - let me know how you are

GG
Edit: couldn't send physical sweets, but saw this and thought of you..... (and Mojo!)

oh, and btw - [b] I'm [/b] not imaginary, it's just the rest of 'em..... :p

the site is completely fixed and no one will receive any errors today (unless JD pushes the red button or Scummy the blue one) ;-) :p :D

If that don't give you a giggle maybe this funny little prank will - http://www.thefunnystuff.net/viewmovie.php?id=1110

I guess it could be worse.

You could actually be a pumpkin and someone could come and rip you from your vine, poke your body with a knife, carve shapes into you then scrape out your guts and put a candle inside you...

Life doesn't seem so bad now does it!

I

How awful! I'm just curious - the kidney infection was gone that quickly? Must have been some very strong antibiotic.

I can't give you any new advice, the others have pretty much provided it. I [b]can[/b] offer sympathy and empathy. I'm prone to kidney infections and UTI's (about 3-4 a year) because of my kidney disease, so I know how THOSE feel. Yuck! (and the antibiotics I have to take during those - even YUCKIER! They tend to have that awful metallic/sulfuric taste. Blecch!)

Good luck on getting the fluid rentention down. And after you're over the allergic reaction, you may want to have your kidneys checked again. Just to make sure there's nothing else going on.

Thinking of you!

Semi-immobile pumpkin head has always been one of my unspoken fantasies. I have a rich erotic fantasy life, you know. I've already confessed my image of Nancy Pelosi, hands and knees, wearing only a satin pajama top and those pearls of hers. Now you come with your story, lighting up this whole other dark avenue in my soul. Ohhh. I have to stop thinking of this, or people will wonder why I'm groaning in my office.

Goodbye, before you do any more damage. See you in my dreams, hotness.

Sounds absolutely horrible, you must post a picture for us. ;-)

Just kidding, I'm sure you feel like crap, why on earth you would be at work though?!

I say go home, put on your favorite pill piled onesie and watch hardcore gay porn for the rest of the day, at least you can laugh at them. Or else put on Charlie Brown's The Great Pumpkin, he's pathetic enough to make anyone feel good about themselves! (plus you can always relate to the Great Pumpkin.

Or else, get that bottle out of the bottom draawer of your desk and get legless at work, always goes good with decent painkillers.

I just got off three days at home, where everytime I got up, I'd fall over or get sick. It was like being hammered drunk all day. I too went to the walk-in down the street and got antibiotics, fortunately I'm not allergic to much. Turns out it was an inner ear infection that caused the equivalent of motion sickness. Niiice.

So today, first day back. I am trying to look good and work hard so I decided to pitch in and pick a customer's order (shipping was running late). While I pisked it, he changed it and I wasn't told.

An hour later he called missing some fo his order, so I look like the a complete moron to the boss but the customer thought it was the boss's fault and not mine.

After a 55 minute return drive, I just got back, feeling like crap and pretty miffed at myself, and teh boss, only to find that you too are having a crappo day. sorry but it is somewhat comforting to know I'm not the only one.

I hope you get it all sorted out, get aother opinion, different doctor and see how THAT goes. Have they not recommended a specialist yet?

I hope my peermail to ya gave you a bit of a chuckle this week. ]:)

edit typos

I can't tell you anything funny, but I can tell a couple of true events from my life where I thought all was lost.

In 1989 I received a blow to the head that crushed part of my skull. I walked into the hospital. X-rays were taken and revealed serious damage. On the way back to ER I puked all over everything. I was roomed for the night and the following day a Dr. came in and discussed the options. The doc's were going to have to operate, the plan was to open my skull and weld the bone together with a laser. I approved. Well, I was put out, and operated on. When I came to, the duty nurse in recovery had to call security to belt me to the table because I heard incoming missles and was trying to roll off of the gurney but did not have enough muscle control for success, but would also attack anything that came into reach. I passed out after a while. When I came to again the next day I was hungry. I bit**ed until I got some food. The nurse brought it and saw that I lacked control to feed myself. She tried to feed me and was attacked for her effort, after the recovery scene I was still strapped to the bed at chest and feet. The nurse called a doc and was told to cut the meat but let me feed myself. I can't tell you how many times I missed my mouth and stabbed myself with a fork. Before I managed to eat what I could hold there were tears of frustration in my eyes. The next day, I was taken to optometry. Hell, I did not know I had thread hanging out my eye from having the muscles cut to take my eye out for the operation. The first I know of this was when the optometrist pulled the string to align my eyes. Real weird sensation and I puked all over everything.. 90 days later I was released from the hospital in a wheelchair. 18 months later I regained most of my dexterity. To this day there is a part of my head that has no sensation and I have a mylar plate in my head because the bone could not be welded together.

About 2002 my elbow became real sore and inflamed. I went to ER. They examined me and found a small cut on my elbow that I was unaware of. The area of inflamation was about a 2 inch radius about that cut. I was immediately given massive doses of Penicillin and sent home after an emergency visit was arranged with my doctor for the next day. When I went to my doctor the next morning, the inflammation spread throughout my body. One look and the doc pulled the Penicillin and put me on the nastiest anti-biotic known to man. Two shots per day. Felt like a golf ball was being injected into my butt. I would sit in the waiting room for 40 minutes after each injection and then limp to my car. 14 days later, the infection was cleared. When the bateria was cultured, it was found to be a strep bacteria - the flesh eating one. I was lucky, this time.

All the ends well, is well.

Being sick is miserable to begin with, but a bad reaction to a drug can be even worse. At least you have painkillers.

You should stay home and rest. Work will just have to understand. Drink lots of tea and cranberry juice. Watch some chick flicks. I have some good ones to recommend.

The absolute worst is having to go to work swollen and makeupless and looking like a pumpkin. Major bummer. :(

AV

You are still amazingly hot, and I don't think it's just the fever.

You will decompress soon and feel better than ever.

Until then, take care. Let Mojo take over.

that you are feeling so much better, being Saturday night and all.

Who would not think that you look amazingly hot, you are the Mae. Pumpkin Head and all, we love you.

Honestly, hope you are feeling better.

Mike

well, now, that would be telling would it not.

Mind you 8 million is nothing - lived in city's with 15 million +

EDIT: Actually now is the time to get that Oil guarded. Less chance of people poking their nose in when the price is low.

Eventually all oil will run out (Fact), may as well be ready for the cash in when the time comes, somebody will pay the premium.

Meantime spend the current money on harnessing the natural high winds and waves available here, all year, evey year.

I've never been an imaginary friend before. Can I do my Drop Dead Fred impression http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu7emKeklA0 at your office?

And do not worry about you head being swollen to pupkin size unless you end up hanging out with this creepy old biddy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvsoLnu41mA&feature=related.

But if someone is mean to you when you are all sickie, call up these dudes to do a Detroit Drive By on their heinies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpWBtligcPU.

How were the books?

a choclate penis that ejaculates money is more of a year round thing.. a daily thing even..heck..several times a day thing!!!!!!!!

I guess it was withdrawal from the prednisone. I didn't taper off after the first two (massive) doses.

Still a little swollen and nauseous, but much better. I spent most of the weekend laying on the couch and watching movies/TV. I watched 3 different shows (Man on Fire, Transporter II and the new Joss Whedon show Dollhouse) and every one of them was about a kid getting kidnapped. And in each instance, the kidnappers demanded 5 million dollars. I had no idea that was the going rate for a kid. So...I learned something while I was sick. :)

takes a year around to come again :)

You should try to ask Father Chrismas or our dutch Sinterklaas (5-dec)

Or ... as Mae was in time to ask the wish ... you could ask her to lend hers to you :0
