prayers for maple's angiogram Mon.

I really hope that epidural helps your neck.

Its so hard to believe all that Scott has to go through.

I got in tremendous pain this morning and had to rush to therapy. My doctor is cool cuz all I have to do is call and ask if I can be there in 20 mins and he'll see me. I'm feeling better now. Some ligament spasms and my bladder was hurting, but no infection. I go back Friday.

Prayers for you and your friends.

Hi dac...Hi boo!

I'm still having issues so I am thinking I'm going to have to have another treatment on my neck...so I'm hoping the second one will make the difference.

I've been working with my lawyer on the "d" and she gave me another number for S.S. because she said I shouldn't be trying to do this alone because there's things I don't know and they could help me get it faster....I'm struggling with the S.S. but she said, you could have no arms and they'd still deny you the first time. I sent the papers and then they sent me another set of blank papers to fill out and every time I called to make sure they got the papers I faxed....I'd get no reply. so...gonna have to go see this other lawyer I guess. So things are going...just takes time I guess.

Last week we had so much rain that everyone in my area's basement flooded...including mine. My neighbor's came over and helped me wet vac it out and an hour later it was all back. In the middle of this is when I had my neck epidural...now have 2 dehumidifiers down there and the only moisture left is what's left on the very edges...so the floor is dry. Plus it rained last night and it stayed dry except for 2 corners. There was so much water my toilets weren't flushing. My ditch water was up to my knees and the water was half way up my lawn...my 2 girls and the neighbor boy swam in it the next day...with all the dead worms.

Isn't it great being a kid? They were all like, "ahhhh, snaaaake!" and pretending all sorts of wild scenarios. The joys of dead worms...there had to have been like hundreds in there.

boo...forgot to update about my cousin, Scott.

He had surgery yesterday to remove an abcess on his abdoman and they found that he had dead bowl up farther than they scoped and it was the size of two man's large fists, so it was removed. If all heals up then he has exactly just enough bowel to live life without bags and feeding tubes...that means he could finally eat a meal again. I'm a bit perplexed that they did not scope the whole colon when they scoped him after his bowel transplant the number of times they had to scope him...they only went in partially. I think they should change thier practices from now on so no one gets this sick after thier transplant and threatens thier life more then what it was already threatened. Amen to that sister.

He's still on a ventilator and the web page has not been updated much because his dd wants him to hear about the surgery before she posts. So this is all the news I have thus far...but it looks like this means his recovery may move forward now instead of all the set backs and fevers...

Love ya boos and thanks for your prayers for me wee wittle family.

lub,
gretch

Maple, you are in my prayers always

 

[ibpboo]

Maple, how are you? I worry when you haven't been on for awhile.
I know its hard for you to get on BYC now though.

Thinking of you and your girls.

 

[maple]

well hiya cockadoodle.

I miss you and think about you ALL the time boo--every time I see that Miley Cyrus poster.

Milk...it does a body good.

So wow, this hasn't been updated recently...find my "maple's lil heart" thread to read about my current health and 5 new stents. ouchy.

My cousin Scott has been skating on deaths door. They had to remove the donors small intestine but Scott has just enough of his own to not have to wear a colostomy bag or be tube fed for life. Amen. His organ he received developed crohns as well...rare but can happen. Then his anti-rejection meds caused a rare blood cancer. He was so frail they were worried about him surviving chemo but I guess at this time all is well my mom informed me. So continued prayers for Scott are much appreciated.

hey dad! I mean, dac! I think of you every time I see Peter Pan and Fuzzball and brush them with the flea comb.

I've thinking a lot about you and have been wondering about you since I haven't seen you lately. Now I have to go find that other thread.

oh boo...i forgot to say that the epidural did not help my neck and when my heart dr. found out I went off my blood thinners for 10 days he was very upset. I told him but it was your office that told me I could...I thought it was ok. Apparently not. So I was scheduled to do a repeat epidural but had to cancel it. Right now I will have to live with the pain of my herniated disc in my neck and the hernia in my abdoman since my heart health comes first.
