<< We are pretty much beyond

embarrassment now. I don't know if that's bad or good. >>

LOL... I think it's fantastic. Haha! Good for you, Amy and !

However, I might ask to borrow both of you if necessary, would you mind?

Raytown is not that far away from midtown... I bet if I called you on the way

in to the ER at St. Luke's Plaza, you could be there in less than thirty

minutes.

Dear Amy & ,

LOL... yes, VERY funny!

I can see the two of you marching swiftly down the hall at a VERY rapid

clip, black trenchcoats, black sunglasses, big black army boots, black hats

and big, bad-assed black machine guns... stomp stomp stomp stomp... Kinda'

scary... Hahaha... Oh my!

Will keep " the posse " in mind.

:-) T

<< Dear T,

Glad to see that you think being beyond embarrassment is so funny.LOL

I guess in a way it is,and yes we are nearby so just give a " holler "

when you need some additional back up. I'm learning to take a stand

and not back down anymore!

Friends in need ARE friends indeed!!

Your Posse,

A & M

Hi Amy,

I can totally relate to what you went through with your husband. I am

so glad that you have him there for support.

I had to go to the ER yesterday morning again. I was having an acute

spasm pain and just couldn't handle the pain anymore. I spent two

hours at home and it just wasn't getting any better. I finally let my

husband take me to the ER. Believe it or not...I actually had a good

experience there this time. I was immediatly taken back to one of the

critical beds and within 15 mins a doc and nurse saw me, I had an IV

put in and had Demerol given. I was so relieved. THe nurse I had was

very supportive also. I kept trying to wait for more meds, when I was

still in pain, and he was actually telling me that I SHOULD take

more, that I didn't need to be in pain. Can you believe it?!?!

Wonders never cease. I was there for about 4 hours and then they let

me go home. I don't know if it was the SOD or the bile duct stones

giving me the problems. I guess I will find out tomorrow. I am having

my ERCP done. One of the things I hate about the hospital where I am

having it done is that they don't let my husband come into the preop

area. It is against their " rules " . Dumbest rule I have ever heard of.

Don't they realize that the more emotional support we can get from

our husbands the better off we will be? I always end up crying saying

that I need him with me so they will let him in. He also does what

your husband did. He asks a lot to come in and if they keep saying no

he will keep asking until he gets them to say yes. Eventually they

say yes just to get rid of him...LOL... I hope we don't have to many

problems tomorrow.

Well, that's all for now. HOpe you are having some pain, stress free

days,

Dear ,

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner,I took a little time off

from posting,but you and everyone else have not been out of my

thoughts or prayers.

I'm glad you had a good ER experience for a change. It's about time.

You are right. We are lucky to have our husbands to depend on. I don't

know what I would have done without 's support through the

worst times.

Hope you're doing alot better!

Your friend,

Amy
