I hope the title of this post will make it clear what this post is about. Thus, it might at least cut down on the assholes who tell me they just want me to shut up an “do my job.” Again, there are no recaps or reality news in this post. This is for my TT fam who are concerned about me.
In a couple of hours I’ll be headed to the ER. Hopefully they will not keep me. But, I am trying to prepare for that possibility. I know y’all have been pressuring me to go. But, part of me doesn’t want to know for fear of bad news. However, my dear sweet neighbor is apparently the Tamara Whisperer. She knows how to talk to me. And she offered to take me.
I’m going to try to take my laptop. Not sure if they will let me use it or not.
I really do not want to go. But, I guess it is time. It’s nearly impossible for me to get off the couch or the toilet. I just don’t have the physical strength.
Okay, let the trolls descend.
Wishing you the best Tamara.
We love you and support you 💯 percent
So glad you’re going. Not knowing does not make it not so. A hard lesson for many of us. Wishing you good medical care, a good diagnosis with whatever it is easy to treat, mental and emotional relief for you, and the beginning of the rest of your life in good health!
Amen 🙏
Sending prayers and positivity. I’m only an hour away and will not hesitate if you need me again.
I care about you TT. Hopes & prayers the doctors set you on the way to improved health.
Sending orayers and strength to you
God bless your neighbor. Sending support and prayers for a speedy resolution and a positive outcome.
My thoughts and only good vibes are with you! I hope you recover quickly 🙏 ❤
We will be sending out positive thoughts that they figure out what is going on!
I’m so proud of you for going! Prayers for the best outcome and that they don’t keep you. Sending love and prayers!
Praying that all goes well today, Tamara. Sending you positive vibes for your recovery
I am glad you are going. I am believing they will find an answer for you. We love you!
Screw the trolls. Just take of care of yourself. We will be here when you are ready and able.
Good luck. I’m glad you’re going.
TT you have to find out what is really going on. The ER will do bloodwork and urinalysis to discover if you have some type of systemic infection or other critical problem. I was super sick in August and found out that my electrolytes were so low that I could have died if I hadn’t been given IV fluids immediately. If you are vomiting constantly and having diarrhea, your electrolytes could be dangerously low. The major problem with ERs in northern NJ is that if you come via ambulance, you are given priority over people who physically walk into the ER for treatment!!
Wishing you the best. I hate going to the ER also, but it is better to be there than to suffer at home and feel like you are going downhill without knowing why.
Thank you for this update! I know you won’t but can’t say it enough…. don’t let the naysayers keep you from connecting w/your online family. It’s mentally and emotionally healthy to have any type of connection, regardless of the location.
While this update actually worries me a lot, it also makes me hopeful. Thankfully you’re finally getting some help and I hope they can figure out what the issues are so you can heal or combat whatever it is that ails you.
Take care and much love
Praying Tamara, I believe a higher power chose that neighbour for you and I am so glad she’s there!!
Prayers that you will get the help you need & some solutions.
We are all thinking of you ❤
I was very happy to read this post. You are doing the right thing. Get better!
Sorry, did not mean to post to yours😛
Good luck, I hope that you get some answers!
Please keep us updated. Thank God for good neighbors. Love you TT.
You mean a lot to very many people that think of you as family. Let your neighbor know how meaningful her actions are to your distant “family” who care so much about you but live too far away to help out. So many are thinking of you, I hope you find relief soon.
Good girl! You know we are all sending happy, positive, healthy thoughts your way! I truly hope that you will get answers and the help you need – whether it is medication, inpatient rehab, physical therapy, etc. As a single person, I know it is terrifying to go through medical issues on your own, but you’ve got this! And you’ve got us!
Just focus on you! If you need the website for $, post open forums and we will fill ’em up! XOXOXOX.
Thank you for going, for letting us know and for the example you are setting … taking care of you. A lot of us do the same thing … put ourselves last or avoid finding out what’s going on because of fear of what’s going on. I’ll be here waiting with the rest of your family .. no matter what!! ♥️
So appreciative that you have such a caring neighbor. I pray that this day leads you to healing and strength. I hope you know that there is a flood of good wishes coming your way from soooooo many different directions. You are the common thread connecting this blanket of love. 💙💙💙💙🙏🏻😘
Hope all goes well.
I can relate as I’ve gone thru a few issues in the past month, one of which had me in the ER too.
Got word on the breast biopsy this week and all is well.
Waiting on the results of some other tests/imaging results, and the not knowing what’s up is tuff.
But having the doctors check everything out is what you gotta do, so just have faith that if anything can be done, it will help you out and get you to feeling better
Take care!
Ditto to all the positive comments, prayers, and we are here for you TT!
You will never find a more effective medicine than hope. So, always be hopeful that God will get you recovered from this sickness in no time. Get well soon!
Oh so happy your neighbor is taking you and if you have to spend the night, so be it! TT needs a Christmas miracle and to be better again! Sending hugs!!
Please update when you are able. Many of us are waiting and praying and sending love. God bless, babe.
Sending you lots of good and positive karma TT.
This! And all the other good wishes.🙂
Prayers for you and your health! Take care of yourself and ignore all negativity.
I’m glad you are going. We are sending you prayers and positive vibes.
I’m going to keep you you in my prayers. I believe you’re taking the correct steps to get you to a better place physically and mentally. Remember that that you are loved by many people.
thank you for letting us know. Sending positive thoughts for a quick and easy answer. You are loved
I’ll read all comments and may repost – but f*ck the trolls! Our health is our biz….your is your own. It’s scary and not fun to deal with.
TT you provide us enjoyment and I hope you can find some space and peace to find your place of enjoyment!
Don’t let the f*ckers get you down. You know where to find me if you need anything
Sending prayers for healing. Hope you can get some answers and start feeling better.
Wishing you the best. Please keep all of us posted as time permits ❤🙏😘 xo Marc
All the best to you. I’m glad you are going.
Positive thoughts coming to you, Tamara. Hopefully the ER docs will be able to finally supply you with a diagnosis and treatment plan. Thank God for your neighbor.
Prayers for you, your wonderful neighbor and the drs and staff that sees you to take good care of you
and get you to feeling better overall.
Nothing but prayers for you here. You’ve been sick for months. It can be hard when sick and drained to even find the energy to get to the ER/doctor. I’m thankful for your neighbor. Keep us posted as you can. You have family here who truly care about you. Love, hugs and prayers for you dear Tamara.
❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
I’ve only commented once or twice before (usually about my dislike for Lisa Rinna). I know it’s scary, but you will be in good hands & hopefully good health soon. Sending love & positive vibes for a speedy recovery!!
I remember being pretty sick when I was a kid. I went to doctor after doctor who said there was nothing wrong with me. My parents were so frustrated!
Came the time when I’d lost about 35 pounds and I was put into the hospital as an emergency…
While we were all hoping to hear that it was nothing serious, I will always remember my doctors coming to my bed to give me the news.
They were smiling!!
I was so relieved. Whew! Nothing serious!!
Except that it was.
But the way they handled it was life-changing!
“Good news!” They said.
“We know what it is. And now that we finally figured it out, we can treat you and you’re going to get better.”
So.
I hope they DO find something so that you too can finally receive the treatment you need so that you can finally finally FINALLY start to feel better.
Carson
I’ve been worried about you since your posts were few and far between. Hang in there – knowing what’s going on is the only way to get better. Remember your posse is all here pulling for you!
Good luck at the ER. The news stories are all about the wait times a hospitals because of the triple pandemic, I hope you don’t expertise that! Wishing you good heath.
Blessings for those friends, family, and neighbors who push us when we need it. You’ve been on my mind and hope you get some answers. We’re here
Great news. Ty for sharing. You will be so relieved to be there once you get there. We are thankful for yr neighbor.
This is a big step for you. Don’t get impatient or discouraged if it’s taking a long time. Keep us updated and remember how much support you have
TT, please take care of you! I’ll be praying for you!
Remember, we have Paris cafes to sit in and drink wine as we watch the world pass!
Please let us know if we can do anything!
XOXO
Look after yourself that’s all we want you to do! Keep us updated as and when you feel like it. Your true fanclub aren’t going anywhere, just waiting to make sure you’re ok! x
Hope everything turns out ok, and soon. Where are all of us old bitches supposed to go if we don’t have you???
I’m so glad your neighbor took you to the ER. I’ve been praying for you, Tamara. Update us when you can. ❤️
I have been reading here for at least a decade and almost feel like you are family. I do not comment, but I read and laugh and cry. Prayers and positivity friend.
The good thing about going to the ER, is that they can just wheel you from test to test with no effort from you. And if you have any pain, they have morphine & then you won’t care what tests they do to you.
I’m so proud of you! Praying that you get good news and answers so you can get better ❤️🩹
Hopefully you can get some answers and a way to get back on track. Sending you lots of healing vibes and best wishes. ❤️
We all wish nothing but the best for you ! I pray that you find some answers and some relief!!
Sending only good healing thoughts your way. So sorry things have been difficult, I really hope this visit starts the beginning of a positive turn around.
Praying for you and hoping that you get a confirmed diagnosis and plan for attacking it, and healing. I can run errands any time you need me too!
Tamara, anybody who has anything negative or unfriendly or pushy to say to you, block them and carry on. Unless they have walked in your shoes, they need to either STFU or be kind and empathetic. No inbetween, no gray area. Yes, you can bring your laptop to the ER. Just remember the cord so it keeps juiced up. When you feel like, you can update us. Until then, prayers your way and you are doing what is best for you. Who would tell anyone having medical issues to just do your job.” Just a huge no on that one.
Missing you from Australia, I hope they get it figured out for you fast! Wishing you only the best.
I hope that you can get answers about what is wrong. 🙏🏻
I have never met you, but you truly are in my prayers. You have taken a gigantic first step in trying to get well. May the doctors be guided to an accurate diagnosis and treatment. One of the commenters mentioned dehydration and electolyte imbalance. I agree with her (him). If nothing else, an IV will help you feel better.
Praying for you Tamara so don’t be a shitty patient. Be compliant.
I dont see any trolls, I see lots of familiar and new people wishing you lots of love. I am as well, prayers and good wishes, hopes that they find out what is going on and can take care of it. You will be in my thoughts and heart.
Glad you went to the hospital – and I hope every day is a better day.
Sending you love TT!
Prayers for you Tamra.
I hope you will finally find answers at the hospital.
You are way more important than any housewife.
Keeping you in my prayers.
Take care. 🤗🤗
Got home at like 9:30 9:45. looks like I will be getting my gallbladder out. I also have bulging disks in my spine. No real instructions for that. Got a script for anti nausea meds. Who knows when I will be able to get that filled. I’ve already thrown up once since getting home.
I am utterly exhausted.I want to cry buy I can’t. It’s the weirdest thing. I never knew how important crying was before. I need some kind of release valve.
In other news, y’all scared me to death about MRIs I had one at Kaiser and it was quite simple. Then I had one (actually two at once) at the ER and there was scary clangy and all sorts of terrible noises. It was really, REALLY horrible. Now I see what y’all were talking about.
That’s all I can type tonight. My neighbor is a saint.
Thank you for updating us. Please take care and I’m giving you a big hug…Hopefully your gallbladder surgery will take place soon.
I’m praying you have a peaceful and restful night
I have to get valium to get into a Kaiser MRI. Thanks for update. Rest while we send positive vibes and love your way.
Tamara-this is all good news! I know it doesn’t feel that way right now but it really is. My in laws have all had their gall bladders out (I have several in laws) and I had surgery for bulging discs and compressed vertebrae but I was extreme. There’s many steps before that and I can help you navigate them if you want.
It is such an exhausting day going to all these appointments but, these are all fixable things. We can get your back better. Not 100% probably but very close. And your gall bladder removal will help with other symptoms. The anti-nausea medication is a dream. I’ve had it, it’s good stuff! I’m so happy because all this means is…you’re going to be ok!!!! And that is so great, I’m crying happy for you right now.
Thank you for the update. Continued prayers!!!!! 🙏❤️
Thanks for the updates TT. Hopefully, you can rest well tonight knowing what is going on with your body – what the next steps are and onto the road of feeling better (peace of mind).
Take Care and know we are rooting for you!
Thank you for updating us. Glad you’re home. Really glad you have such a caring neighbor. I was so relieved to see your posts. Take care of yourself!
Glad they’ve got it sorted. I had mine gb out in 2008 and all was good. Also have bulging discs. You can address that at a later time. Just happy you’re on the road to wellness.
I knew it was your Gall Bladder! I wish I was still Nursing.
That’s great news!
Now that they’ve identified your problem, they can fix it!
Valium should always be attached to MRI’s. They always make them much more tolerable.
These are things that are fixable, not without some discomfort, but they can be fixed. Overall sounds like a productive day. I am so proud of you!
I am so relieved. Not that it is “just” your gall bladder because I know you are very sick, but that it has an easy fix. I hope the anti nausea meds work quickly so you can get some strength back. Continued prayers and all good things headed your way
Prayers for you TT🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
So glad you have some answers! Prayers that you are on the road to better health. Please keep ya updated if you can. We care. ❤️
Screw the trolls!
‘The Tamara whisperer “ lol you still got it babe!!
Tamara, sending you prayers and asking God to send you the correct doctors, healing hands and protection. Hopefully, they will find out what the issue is and put you on the mend. Take all the time you need to for your self care. You are loved and appreciated for all you do for this community.
You can go this. You are strong! Let us know anything we can do / how we can help!
Best wishes, Tamara!
Sending you love and healing.
TT take care of yourself! I wish I lived closer to you so I could help you with anything you needed. Just know you are in our thoughts and prayers. ❤️
So happy you’re getting answers! Thanks for updating us – been thinking about you with fingers crossed that all will be well- and it will be
Ya want I should send Vinnie and Guido to take care of the trolls? (Philly accent used in this post)
That damn gall bladder!! I’m sorry you need to have surgery. It is a means to an end. I hope some prednisone will be all you need for your discs. Wishing good luck!
Glad you’re back home and with a diagnosis! Try to see if Pillpack or Capsule deliver to your area/house. I’m sure one would. That way you can do it all electronically and don’t have to go out at all.
Yes – almost all pharmacies will deliver now. CVS, Walgreens, even little independents. Hope you are able to take advantage of that!
So glad you went and have a diagnosis. Onward, upward and better from here on out!
I’m so glad that you are going! You need to take care of yourself first and foremost. Sending love and hugs!!!
Sorry you are still suffering, but happy you have a diagnosis and a plan to hopefully end your pain. Thinking of you! ♡
Praying for you as you go through these next steps. Hang in there Tamara! Big hug💙
Glad you are getting some answers! Can your neighbor help fill your script??
You will feel so much better. Sending my love and confidence to you. 💙🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙
Totally get why you were afraid of getting to know if something would be very wrong with your health at the hospital. Good that you went finally to get answers.
Hope it feels better being back home again.
I’m so happy you finally have answers! Not knowing must have been maddening. Sending you lots of love, hugs and prayers!! ❤❤🙏🙏
Bless your neighbor friend! Prayers for an answer so you can begin with the first step to better health.
We all love you and want you to get well. Your health is the most important thing right now. If you believe in healing prayer or healing thoughts, you have to know they are being sent by your TT family.
Well, yay – it’s actually truly a good thing to now be moving on to the next phase towards your personal, physical wellness. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. You are truly loved.
I’m glad you are going. I hope everything will be okay. Sending positive healing vibes your way.
I’m glad to hear you have a diagnosis. That makes a huge difference! At least now you can make a plan. Sending positive thoughts your way that you’ll be on the mend sooner than later!
So very glad to know you are going to the ER. I know you’re apprehensive but hopefully they will be able to diagnose your health issues accurately. I’m wishing you all the best!
Wow, so glad you got answers! Hope your primary gives you something for pain or at least anxiety. Either/or worked great with my bulging disc’s. So weird that was when I spent so much time at TT (2000? 2001?) Recovering from L4L5 surgery! I would have again in 2 seconds and not put off for a second. INSTANT RELIEF. Has lasted for YEARS. Discectomy.
One more quick thing. I think I’ve told you I’ve been through hell and back with my oldest. You and your blog has got me through so many tough times ((((TT))) About 4 months ago Oldest got a job in ER admitting and refers to it as her “calling.” Goes above and beyond with each patient. Just full of love and compassion for each. My wish that in your journey is to encounter Angels as devoted as my daughter. All the best to you TT. ❤
That is beautiful aud! ❤️❤️
Thank you for the update. I’m so glad to hear that it is two different things and that makes so much sense with how sick you’ve been. I’ve heard that gallbladder trouble can be incredibly painful, but you’ll feel so much better when it’s gone! And as others have said, you can deal with the disc issues after that. I’m sure it will help your back not to be throwing up!
Thank you for trusting us with this info. It’s been hard not to beg you to go get checked out. I hope you can relax now and get some rest. HUGS!!
Very happy to hear you finally have some answers and that you let the neighbor help you out. Hopefully you can be scheduled for getting rid of that gallbladder soon. One step at a time. Your back may calm down some when you no longer have to wretch over a bowl. Wishing you the best!
Trying to shake off some nightmares so I can try to get some more rest. Le sigh.
I hope you can get some rest TT. ❤️
Happy that you’re taking care of yourself and getting help, hopefully finding some answers. Wishing you all the best 💗
It’s scary I know but I’m so happy you’ve taken the first steps to resolve this situation. Blessings TT
What a relief for you to have some answers! My mIddle had hers removed. She had the same issues you do. Much better now! Wishing you a fast recoverage when you go in!!prayers for you to be whole and having a complete recovery soon.
I am so incredibly proud of you mustering up what little strength you had to go to the ER. At least they were able to provide some answers. I hope you can get that nasty gallbladder out sooner than later too – you will not believe how much better you can feel after that surgery – I know personally only too well. I’m sorry trolls have been cruel to you over something this important and critical, like being very ill. You would think covid would have taught people SOME compassion, but apparently not. Please keep us up-to-date about how you are feeling because YOU DO MATTER TO ALL OF US!!! Screw those haters/trolls – kick them to the curb and keep moving forward! Love you and am praying for you!
