Saw on facebook a post linked to a story out of India that a man there is suing his parents for not asking consent to give birth to him, a friend said on the shared post he thought it was weird, I immediately thought had it happened in the states and he won, had it happened before I was born the way mom's side of the family has treated me all my life they would have likely tried to sue her to have me aborted. and I am glad I have nothing to do with those evil people....

GAC what frustrated me was he called me up yelling at me and blaming me because he wasn't smart enough to do what he needed to do to begin with send the forms in certified return receipt, and read his mail. And he got mad when I told him to call them up, because it's easier to look up my number in his phone and gripe at me because of him being stupid. I went to school many years after getting out of high school, and had to pay for it myself because mom and dad wouldn't spend the money on me just their "pets" mom liked the one who blames me for HIS actions, dad liked the other one best.

So frustrating! I'd be reluctant to take his calls. You know they say common sense is not common. DH has a niece that's always been an honor student. Graduated with honors, MBA, magna cum lude, blah, blah, blah. This chick is dumb as a box of rocks, literally not an ounce of common sense. Its baffling & extremely difficult to watch.

So they sent my brother home today with no heart surgery. They couldn't put stents in during his initial angioplasty because of anemia & undiagnosed bleeding. They spent all week having tests run & found he had a few bleeding ulcers. The cauterized them & said they couldn't do the triple bypass now because of the blood thinners. They sent him home on blood pressure meds & said to come back in a week or two for the stents, then next year for the bypass.

My SIL is freaking out that they would send a heart patient home without surgery, but to me this seems like the answer to many prayers. Maybe they can do the stents & (if he takes care of himself) maybe not have to do the bypass at all next year. Prayer is miraculous & stranger things have happened. I'm feeling very grateful!!!

I guess it is good that they found and treated the other issues. I assume the blood thinners will help keep the blood flowing until they get those stents in. Good luck to your brother and I hope SIL doesn't get ulcers from worrying!

Thanks! He's been letting himself go, not taking care of himself & refusing to go to the Dr. Now they're giving him the whole 9yrds. To me, it seems like a blessing in disguise, but I'm sure he doesn't think so.

I read an article recently that said heart patients should ask if medication would work as well as stents. Apparently there is a rush to using stents-and stents make future heart surgeries more dangerous.

The question is: Is this going to scare the crap out of him and he will now start taking GOOD care of himself?? Some improved dietary and exercise habits might improve the situation.

Hmmm... Interesting. I'll look into this.

Good question. I can only hope so.
