  • Dealing with it.

Over here in arizona we have bike paths and bike lines, but the fun part is that the bike lane will just end when there's a turn lane, so most drivers will just cut into the bike lane when they want to turn.

I used to ride a bike everywhere, but I got tired of my bike falling apart (like when the pedal fell off and I hurt every single joint on the left side of my body) and I had big feet so I'd fall about once every 5 months. I just decided to start skateboarding places, you fall a lot less (once in 2 years) and you can look cooler. And isn't it all about looks anyways?

I've never really had trouble with motorists when I ride my bike on the road. Maybe I've just been lucky, but I've never had anyone so much as honk at me. I even playfully raced a bus down the big hill near my university the other week. I lost :(

I just wish cyclists followed the rules of the road. There's really nice, wide bike lanes here, but a stop sign is a fucking stop sign no matter what vehicle you are in. If you are on wheels, you are not special. Goddammit.

Guys,


Today I was scheduled to work 12 - 6. I got in at 11:20ish, and began working. At 12:15ish, my mother called my work, and asked me if I would be able to come home early if I needed to. I said yes. At 12:30, my father showed up at my work and picked me up.

Let me start at the beginning. At 10:00 this morning, I woke up, and got dress. At 10:36, I walked into the kitchen. The sounds of my little sisters, Jane and Clara, came from the livingroom. I knew Jane had stayed home because she was sick. At 3:00am, I was still awake on the main floor of the house, and Jane had came down, coughing. This is Jane's first year of school.

At 10:36, I talked to my mother who said that Jane stayed home because she had been coughing all night, and her nose kept bleeding. At some point between that time and 10:50, Jane had walked through the room at various points. I noticed she had dried blood at the corners of her mouth, and I honestly and stupidly didn't think much of it, because her nose had been bleeding, and she had been coughing, and I guess I just chalked it up to that.

So, 10:50 rolls around, and I am heading out the door. Clara is on the floor of the livingroom crying because, as kids tend to do, Jane and her had argued. Jane was in a different room, ignoring Clara. So I tried to calm Clara down, hurriedly, since I was already late. Jane came running in the room, when she heard I was leaving to give me a hug and kiss goodbye, and I acted indifferently towards her because I was upset with her for hurting her sister. 10:52 and I am putting my bike away because I can't ride today because of rain.

Last night, I'll say around 9:00pmish, Jane had got out of the shower, and came into the computer room where my mom and I were, crying. She had a bruise on her back. She had "I have a boo boo and I am going to die because I have a boo boo on my back"

So, 12:15 my mother calls me at work and says "Something is wrong with Jane. Can you come home? You dad is on the way to come take her to the hospital, and he will pick you up."

My father arrives at 12:30, and I clock out, tell my coworker what I was doing, and what needs to be done, and head out the door. In the car, my father informs me that my mother said my sister has bruises all over her body and won't stop bleeding. They are taking her to the hospital.

At 12:47, we arrive at my house, and Jane comes running out the door to greet us. Jane has always been a bit freckled, but standing on the porch with her, I noticed she was covered in what looked like freckles, except red. They were all over her face. Smiling, and acting very upbeat, and silly, like a child, she says "Something is wrong with me." She said it as casually as someone would say "The sky is blue." We walked into the house, where my mother told us more about what was going on. When Jane got up this morning, she had a few bruises. Over the course of the day, red marks showed up on her body, like she had hit something. Just red marks, like when you bump into a door or something. In seconds the marks turned from red to blue. My mother showed us some of her bruises. She is covered in them. And the little red freckles.

At 12:52, both my parents left to take her to the hospital. At 1:42, I recieved a text that Jane had puked up blood with one the way there. My parents, and Jane are currently at the hospital in the waiting room, waiting to be seen. It is now 1:46pm.

Jesus hell Sam. That is why I don't drive. I don't trust other people.


Thanks for the support guys. I know it is silly, but it means a lot to me. So thanks.

When they got called back at the hospital, the doctors immediately ran a blood test. The absolute minimum amount of platelets someone can have in their body is 10,000(per micro liter of blood). She has 1. They haven't completely ruled out leukemia, but they don't think it is that. They are keeping her over night to see if they can get her platelet count up.

It doesn't sound like leukemia. This condition she has sounds like something I had when I was 2 years old. It's called idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura or ITP for short.

(idiopathic meaning the cause is unknown, thrombocytopenic means lack of platelets, and pupura means excessive bruising)

The calling cards for this are bruising, tiny red dots on the skin called petechiae, nosebleeds, and bleeding in the intestinal tract causing her to puke blood, or her gums are bleeding, and since she feels sick she'll spit up the blood in her mouth.

They treated me with intravenous infusions (given in a vein) of gamma globulin to increase my platelet count, and then I took prednisone until I was well again.

I hope that helps some. I hope she gets well really soon.

My parents just came home from the hospital, and that is what she has. They are treating it with an IV as well. It's going to take 6 to 8 hours for the IV, and if it works she will hopefully be home tomorrow.

And Emaline, I believe that you currently have a temporary right to be an ass to anyone you choose. Family sickness is one of those things which grants you that right. (I'm almost just kidding, but not quite.)

For your family's sake (and ours!  :-P) I hope that your sister recovers quickly. I'm glad they know what is wrong with her :-)

Gah, that sucks. Could be worse, though. My friend was in a similar situation. He volunteered to help this lady move stuff into her house, and while working she backed the moving truck into the front crumple zone of his car. It was a very minor bump, but it still hit hard enough to damage the radiator and total the car. The lady has fought tooth and nail against getting anything paid for. My friend is a poor college student, so he's had to share one car with his extended family for the last year. Shit sucks.

Well, my younger sister is preggers. I am not sure how I feel about this, considering that I don't particularly care for the way that her boyfriend treats her (he's extremely clingy and possessive; comes from being a foster kid, I think), and they want to move out of my parent's house. Oh, and she's on 18. That's a little much too...

Barmy, thanks. I am trying to not be a jackass because it's still rude. Instead I am explaining things in way too much detail. I called my work tonight, and I just went on a long scientific rant about everything. It was silly.



The hospital just called, though. And the iv didn't work. They are still saying they are 99% sure it isn't leukemia, but they also said the iv would work. The IV was supposed to bring her count up to 30,000 at least, but it was only up to 5,000 this afternoon. Then it dropped again. She is down to none. They are doing a blood transfusion tonight. I really hate hospitals, and doctors. She was supposed to come home today. ugh

Sam!  I hope you can work shit out yo!  remember, a worried Sam is a ...bad..Sam.

Ok, now, dear bloggles (this will probably be boring so you don't have to read it guys),

As you are all probably aware by now, my job requires little to no thinking so I get a lot of time to think about myself/life etc. Anyway, I have come to the conclusion that I do not want to be in another serious relationship for a long time.  Like, I have a lot of trouble understanding how exactly Loxley fell so completely and utterly in love with me (seriously, it boggles my mind. I am pretty sure I was a shit girlfriend) and I hate having to feel so guilty that he is unhappy because I am happy.  SO I have decided that I will avoid serious relationships for a while, but casual things would be ok.  Like I do not want to sleep around (I am amused at the very thought of me doing that actually) but god knows I could use some affection, especially considering the last 2 years of my relationship were incredibly void of affection in pretty much any form.

Also, I am thinking of getting a work visa and moving to England for a year.  Maybe! I can DO that kind of thing now.

Oh also, I took Brett to the theater last night and it was awesome.

Love Jodie

Sounds like a fairly sensible and normal reaction to me, I think when serious relationships fall through for whatever reason it's quite hard to just move straight on without having some time to work out what went wrong and what could have been better etc. So good on you for making a good decision for yourself :-)

And England is a good place to be. Everyone will love your accent and your dress style and you can come and meet English people!

Today is my mother's birthday, and I can't say happy birthday to her because she's in Portugal. I'd ring her but I'm at college and then straight to work and I don't get home til ten. So happy birthday, mum! I'll beam out good wishes via the intertubes and hope she realises (she won't).

Dear Blog Thread,

Tomorrow is my birthday. The original plan for my birthday was that my 3 roommates and me were going to go to a concert that I wasn't that interested in, but that featured the brother of a friend of mine from back home. It would've been ok, because we could've gotten in for free, and I would have finally met her brother and hung out back stage. But then it turned out none of my roommates were going to be in town, so I started calling other friends to see if they would like to hang out.

I've learned 2 thins about my current age:
1. Most of my friends are now the sort of people that would like to go out to a bar for a little while and then go bowling and get home before midnight, rather then go to a rock show of a band they've never heard of to meet some random musician that I have some abstract connection to. What's more, I would rather do this as well.
2. I'm also at the point now where get-togethers bloom very quickly in to large groups because (a) I know more people then I think I know and (b) at least half of them come in pairs now. As of yesterday morning I had invited only 3 people directly, but one was bringing her husband, one was bringing her girlfriend, and one was bringing his girlfriend and his roommate. Add to this the 3 people I invited at church last night, and the fact that one of my roommates will be around after all, and I've got 12 people coming to hang out instead of just 3 with my original plan.

Also, there's this woman I've known for a while who I think I might be interested in and who might be interested in me. I haven't really been interested in dating seriously since my fiance and I split up about a year ago so...

Also, I hurt my thumb banging on a drum yesterday.

Good luck with the girl, Alex!

Also the best coffee drink with so much crap in it that it can't really be called coffee anymore drink is called the Hard Times. It is four shots of espresso, chocolate syrup, and sweetened condensed milk over ice with just enough water to fill the cup up--which is just a splash. That is a caffeine + sugar high high. So good!

People drink 4 cups of coffee all the time.  And espresso has less caffeine in it than coffee, so he should be okay.

So, blog thread, it's come to this.

I don't know if I told you, if I did it was many moons ago, but I have an old friend. My old best friend, actually, from high school. We were pretty close buds way back when.

Fuck it, I'll start from the beginning.

We'll call my friend A. Around our senior year, we both knew this guy who I will call B. B had a girlfriend who I'll call Ally. Following? Good. So anyway, I never really liked B or Ally, but A liked them well enough. In fact, A was the only friends B/Ally had. Because Ally, you see, is the most manipulative cunt you will ever meet in your life. We all knew B from years back, but soon after he fell in with Ally we stopped hearing from him completely, because Ally is a very insecure, controlling person, and she does not like her boyfriends having friends. B wanted to be a filmmaker back when he was younger, but Ally always wanted to be married to a cop. A few months after we stopped hearing from B, he dropped out of college and applied for police academy. Now, only my best friend A was allowed to see him and his girlfriend during all of this time. I found this suspicious, given the amount of jealousy and control Ally had over the relationship and the fact that A and B were very good friends.

My suspicions were well-founded. While I was off building houses in Nicaragua a few years ago, Ally made her move. She abruptly dumped B and shacked up with A. And sure enough, we stopped hearing from A. I saw him maybe four times in the last 3 years, once by coincidence on voting day '06, twice to see shows with him (to the very dramatic and insistent protestations of Ally) and one more time, briefly, towards the beginning of A and Ally's relationship. We were going to hang out and watch a movie, but Ally called once and asked if A was with anyone. When he answered in the positive, she said goodnight and then called a few minutes later, telling him that she was considering starting smoking and none-too-implicitly suggesting that if she wasn't going to start it was going to be because A came over and talked her out of it. So A kicked me and the rest of my friends out and promptly rushed to Ally's side. Shortly after that they moved together to Denver, an hour or so away.

Okay, so A started calling me a few months back. Like, once a week. For no apparent reason, just to chat. Which was unusual. A few weeks ago I learned that A had dropped out of school to work full time to support Ally, who was initially going to school, but had dropped out herself and was "in the process of finding a job". It was getting too expensive to live in Denver. So they were moving back to Loveland. I thought "awesome", because many of my other friends were moving away and this seemed like a blessing, given that I had no other friends in town.

That was naive of me, because in the last two weeks since he moved into town (I saw him once when he initially moved) I and his other friends called him several times to no avail, and the last person to see him said he appeared apprehensive when it was suggested that we all see each other as a group, like we used to. It appears Ally has put her foot down.

Thing is, they don't live more than 10 minutes away now. We're contemplating going over to their house on Friday, where (I'm assuming) they won't be able to hide from us. I don't know if this is a good idea, though. It's been a few years and if we force him to choose between his friends and his girlfriend I'm thinking he might just choose his girlfriend. Dude was about as lonely and insecure as I was before he was lured into this codependent relationship. I'm not under any illusions that he's better off with this woman, but he could definitely believe such.

(Another horror story [read at your own risk], back when Ally was with B they went over to A's house and they all were watching a movie with the lights out. At some point Ally went down on B while A was still in the room. I don't even think it was a particularly titillating sort of movie. This woman is frightening.)

Dude, I have so much sympathy for your situation. I wish I had some good advice for you, but I don't know if there is a real good solution.

Guys, I bought gas today for $2.69! I filled up my tank for $25. Is it sad that this is one of the best things to happen to me in a while?

Also I would like to point out that the combination of Sailor Moon and faux-Kerouac / Sonic Youth spelling is perhaps the purest distillation of what this forum is that we have yet been presented with.
