First, let me say how lovely I found Lady Mary's gown, the very dark brown that she wears in the early scenes. I'd like to see more of that sort of thing--updated, of course--at gown-worthy events, such as the Golden Globes. Call me old-fashioned, but I do miss elegance and fine fabrics.

I was at the time just working part time as I had just started back to work after the chemo/radiation ordeal and recovery . I was still not able to eat much by mouth and was still relying on the feeding tube for most of my nourishment

Since I was also then very thin I had been advised to drink and eat high protein and high calorie liquids

So the first thought was that I had too rich a milkshake and it was not sitting well

Vixdad wanted to take me to the hospital but I told him to not be silly - it would pass

vixmom · « **Reply #100 on:** January 13, 2014, 08:24:26 PM »

but it didn't it got worse and worse

vixmom · « **Reply #101 on:** January 13, 2014, 08:25:22 PM »

I began to suspect that I might have gotten an infection at the site of my feeding tube -

vixmom · « **Reply #102 on:** January 13, 2014, 08:26:08 PM »

fortunately despite my pooh poohing the seriousness of my illness Vixdad called into his office and stayed home with me

SPOILER ALERT!!

Re "the incident" from episode 2 of DOWNTON ABBEY, I suspect that happened quite often. IMO, the scenes were handled well, with sensitivity and not graphically. PBS.com has an interview with both the actress involved and with Julian Fellowes about it.

END OF SPOILER ALERT.

the pain began to be unbearable - he called the GI Dr and he told us to come right down and rushed me in ahead of a waiting room full of patients

vixmom · « **Reply #105 on:** January 13, 2014, 08:29:08 PM »

the doctor took a look at me and insisted I go immediately to the emergency room (the hospital is actually directly across the street from his office) and he called ahead to tell them to let me right in

I didn't mean to interrupt your story, Vixmom.

vixmom · « **Reply #107 on:** January 13, 2014, 08:30:05 PM »

Vixdad dropped me off at the door and went to park the car Iwalked up to the window where a couple of women were chatting with the intake nurse

Jeanne · « **Reply #108 on:** January 13, 2014, 08:32:27 PM »

I'll tell my TOD story after Vixmom is done.

then I suddenly got tunnel vision and knew I was going down

I just remember me saying "excuse me I think I need to faint"

vixmom · « **Reply #110 on:** January 13, 2014, 08:34:23 PM »

When I came to I was sitting in a wheel chair and Vixdad was there giving my insurance information and medical history while people were taking my blood pressure and temperature

vixmom · « **Reply #111 on:** January 13, 2014, 08:37:02 PM »

That day and night I experienced the worst pain I ever had in my life they gave me Demoral and there was no change in the pain level

vixmom · « **Reply #112 on:** January 13, 2014, 08:39:32 PM »

They carted me off for scans and xrays they took blood and histories and finally the attending said it was acute gall bladder attack and that I would have to have it out

vixmom · « **Reply #113 on:** January 13, 2014, 08:42:05 PM »

He told me that because of the feeding tube he might not be able to perform the surgery lathroscopically; I told him that he could go in through my foot if he could just get the damn gall bladder out

Vixter came home form school to find an empty house and a note from her father saying we were at the Dr

vixmom · « **Reply #115 on:** January 13, 2014, 08:44:34 PM »

and she turned to the wonderful people of HHW - and you good people listened to her and responded with words of love, comfort and support , and for that I will always be grateful.

The Vixter has had quite a role model.
