Update: I am waiting for doc to schedule an abdominal CT for me - sent my husband a message saying

Posted By: Sick MT on 2008-04-10
In Reply to: Do you ever feel like when you are sick nobody cares? sm - Sick MT

that they will be scheduling me for a CT today or tomorrow. His answer: 10-4, I hope you get your health in order. Exercise please.

I am having abdominal pain, back pain, bleeding, etc. but I guess if I exercise it will fix all that.

Did anyone do the last Windows update and get a message about a DLL address cant be read or
something when you start the computer up.
when I roll in the driveway I see my dog sitting there staring out, waiting, waiting, and (sm)
When he sees me he yawns and stretches, then puts on this act of being all bored and sits on his tail so I cannot see it wagging... like he was not eagerly waiting for me the whole time and seeing me is no big deal.  Every single time.  If I have someone with me I'll say, "watch what Walter does..." and he does this every time.  Oh, by the way, don't feel bad for this guy for having to wait for me once in while, he has the life of a king. 
Abdominal pain...sm
Abdominal pain can be very difficult to assess, especially in women. I think that if you visited your physician, s/he would likely not even attempt a diagnosis without getting at least plain films and probably a CT scan.

First, these pains may not even be related. Second, it may be relevant whether they are related to your cycle, to meals, etc. For instance, the gallbladder theory posed by another reader is possible, but not as likely unless the symptoms are related to fatty food intake. Third, abdominal pain is famous for being "referred" from the source to other locations, masking the origins.

It seems that these symptoms have persisted and have become worrisome to you. Since they might represent any number of things from bowel to bladder to ovarian to...., the best advice is to "get thee to a doctor".


Any other symptoms? Abdominal pain?

Perhaps an imperforate hymen with hematocolpos?


 


Could it be some sort of abdominal migraine?

Anyone else ever seem to get GI problems when stressed out with these jobs. My abdominal area
actually feels sore or irritated. 
I had surgery about 1-1/2 years ago and have a fairly long abdominal scar. I see now I am getting
a sore knot in 1 spot underneath the skin.  My scar actually is hypertrophic so have had a lot of problems with it.  Any suggestions.  I am not enthused about cortisone shots in it.
Has anyone tried The Bean, abdominal exerciser? Effective? Worth the money?
s
Need advice. I had an operation 2 years ago for a Meckels and I had an abdominal incision instead
of laparoscopic and since then since I had a fairly large incision my stomach just sticks out much more than ever before as I am fairly small but am in my 50s.  What can be done to help this as I expect cutting all those muscles didnt help at all.
the underlying read-between-the-lines message of the insurance lobbyist's message was (sm)
to, yes, appeal the denied claim.  However, she lobbies for the insurance companies.  She comes across sounding like she's on the patient's side but in reality she is on the side of the insurance company.  The insurance company gets to deny whatever claims they want right off the bat.  That leaves the SICK patient (who needs the coverage NOW when they are sick) to have to go through the appeals process.  That could take quite a while.  Imagine a cancer patient being denied some form of treatment that is going to help them.  They now have to go through the appeals process (or pay out of pocket) in order for that treatment to be covered.  In the MEANTIME their cancer is progressing.  From the point of view of the insurance company, if they drag it out long enough they don't have to pay for it at all.  That same insurance lobbyist was on 20/20 a little while back and basically came right out and said that the insurance companies COULDN'T AFFORD to pay for coverage for sick people.  She's not on the patient's side.
Somewhat set schedule
I work in the a.m. and then don't work until after my chidren are in bed. One is in school all day, the other is starting two full days of preschool next week. Right nor that means working usually until 4:00 a.m. since I also have another part-time non-medical transcription job, but it works well for me. I've been doing it for years. I also use called ID and wait to do my housework until the afternoon and have my older daughter help when she gets home.
Actually I wish we had some of your schedule...sm
school starts here in early August - I'd prefer it be closer to Labor Day and get out in early June.

Schedule with kids
I was in the same position. After a lot of years I figured out what works pretty good for me, and my company allows it, so does the hospital.
I put my son to bed. I often nap then until about 1 or 2 a.m. Then, I work until 6:30 or 7 a.m. (already got 5 hours in!). I take him to school, and in the morning if I am not tired, I will run errands, work on the house, do something fun. I usually take a nap around noon and then I will work after he is done with his homework from 4:30 to 6:30 (my hubby makes dinner).. that is 7 hours plus 1 hour off for lunch. I also then work on the weekend a few hours to get 40 when I need it, but that is usually in the early morning, so I can spend some time with my husband. Plus I get to spend time with him anway, and after he falls asleep, then I work. It sounds very complicated but it really isn't. And you actually get time for yourself at least to relax for a time, instead of working 8 hours straight and then chores and kids, etc.
Good luck! Remember it is tough to be a woman who does too much :).

People who file a return after April 15 will receive their economic stimulus payment, but probably later than the schedule shows. A return must be filed by October 15 in order to receive a stimulus payment this year. See the online calculator for an estimate of the amount you will receive.

A small percentage of tax returns will require additional time to process and to compute a stimulus payment amount. For these returns, stimulus payments may not be issued in accordance with the schedule above, even if the tax return was processed by April 15.

My schedule and my work -
Thankfully, until the last couple of months, I have never had to wait on work. In fact, my budget is set on 2000 lines a day which was my consistent production in a 6-hour schedule. If my schedule was based on the 1000 lines or so a day the company requires, I would not be waiting on work to be there, I would still be at production.

As far as going to school, in my life right now, that is a necessity as the stress of MTing is finally getting me down after the 15+ years I have been doing it. Also, I am lucky enough that I live in a state that college is completely free to me as long as I maintain a B average. So it would be no savings to me to quit.

Also, I got the second job to cover the shortage from the first job until it picks up again after the holidays. However, I am used to making $35-40 an hour at home and the new job only pays $14 an hour, plus I have to drive 30 minutes to get there and 30 minutes to get home now.

So, as I said before, I am doing what I can do!


Do you fix a schedule and work to it at home?
Do you fix a schedule and work to it at home?
If you are working from home like me, housework always seems to interrupt work. The doorbells, the children, the cups of tea etc etc.
I have tried working to a schedule but never managed to do so.

Have a set schedule, no kids, use caller ID...
I'm off by 2 every day, hubby not home until 7, so lots of time to do house stuff or go to appointments. I admire those of you who work at home, tend to kids, housework, etc.
Wow Medtype10--that is a crazy schedule!
How in the heck are you doing THAT?!  You are incredibly amazing for doing that to help out DIL out like that.  Can you say "angel award?!"  Just incredible!
Fibro and work schedule
Hi. I noticed several people have fibro. I constantly fight with the pain and fatigue. I work only part time. How do others of you schedule your work and deal with the pain and fatigue. I need some good suggestions. Thanks.

Poor sleep schedule.
I haven't really had a good night of sleep since I had kids 11 years ago, but man am I tired!  I can't decide whether to just give up and work all night and try and sleep while the kids are at school during the day or maybe start a sleeping pill, and I'm not a big medicine person.  Right now I sleep from about 2-3 a.m to 6:30-7:30 a.m.   I do go to the kids school every so often during the day so I'd hate to be all tired for that but I'm so tired I'm starting to get that drunk feeling.  Anyone with kids work nights and sleep during the day?  Can you wake up enough to participate in school activites? 
As an IC, I don't think they are allowed to have you on a set schedule. Other companies have
gotten in legal trouble because they were treating ICs as employees. With my IC job, I let them know when I can work and, if they need extra help, they will call and ask if I can do more, but they do not TELL me when to work.
checked the schedule, even filled out the
other info from my tax return.
I work too many hours to have a TV schedule BUT
My daughter was visiting from college during winter break and downloaded The Office. I didn't watch at first, just heard it while I was doing other things... but I just was drawn to watch. So when I finished 10 hours of work, we'd watch like 5 or 6 in a row. I'm almost caught up and this show is just SO funny to me.

So that's it. My favorite show to watch is THE OFFICE. Can't believe no one said it yet.
My work schedule, so I changed it sm
I went to something odd at work and I think it will serve us both. As the new schedule starts on Monday, I will have from Saturday at 2 p.m. until Wednesday at 2 p.m. off this weekend and I NEED IT. Then I work 2 evenings, two 10-hour days, an 8-hour day and I am off from 2 p.m. Sunday to 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Now to fit the PT job in and around that and still have more time off.
When my daughter was in plays, there was always a rehearsal schedule announced.

What are you waiting for?
Just wondering why you are still trying to figure out if you will stay 7 years later?

Have you really discussed it with him? Why, what, how does he really feel now?

You need to feel love and respected and that you can love and respect someone back.

Don't wait until you are 80 and then realize you should have left!

I had exactly the same reaction! Kept waiting - sm
for her to 'come alive' and really dance. I think it probably came back to bite her, since Helio won the whole thing, and deservedly so.
One I was at a restaurant waiting

in line for a bathroo stall.  Finally a lady came out of onel and I went inside.  There was urine ALL OVER the seat.  I was just livid.  Okay lady, if you are too scared to sit down to pee because of the germs, then for crying out loud, WIPE UP YOUR PEE so it's not there for some total stranger to have to deal with.  Or hold it until you get home. 


Gross, gross, gross. 


Basically stick to a schedule. Laundry is only "housework" while I"m working. Keep calls sh

Not all schools have a waiting list - sm
where I am the local teaching hospital does not use them at all. So fresh crop each time. I have been thinking about it too. I am 42. I need to do 3 classes first to qualify for the program. It is full-time though 5 straight semesters and I would be done, though would probably go for the more advanced degree once I had the basic one, have to get that one first though. Money is also an issue, guess I would have to hope for a full scholarship as I have no money to go to school, and of course childcare during the summer would be the other issue. Just wish the program was not "accellerated" so I didn't have to do school in the summer. A job is basically guaranteed when done too, though I am sure you don't get to offered 9-5!

smart cookie on the waiting....and remember some

some states honor common-law marriages - living together as a couple for 7+ years - and there are laws protecting the spousal unit in those cases...don't know what state you are in....but think about that....*S*

Finally gave in and while waiting for work yesterday
Put the pictures in and even looked up relatives on facebook I have lost touch with... so I feel a lot better. I wrote to people I don't see or talk to on the i-net, people like family and friends who the family has lost touch with and I feel great about it! So, it was worth doing!
