Heidi

[Guest guest]

Thank you HIedi, I truly appreciate the kind words. It is starting

to get to me and I am getting a little scared. I will be going next

week for the evaul alone and that is fightening as well. I am a

very independent woman and have made great dtides in my life and

have many accomplishsments of which I am most proud. But I am

scared to death of flying and being there alone. Silly, isn't it.

Its not even the surgery, just the evaul. I'll get over that. I

already made my hotel reservations, its within walking distance to

the hospital, so that nice. With my luck it will probabaly storm.

I wouldn't mind seeing some snow though, never seen real snow.

I haven't been doing so hot lately. The stent they put in the panc

from head to tail (everytime I think of the ERCP they did to put

that in I just cringe, thank God I was intubated) must be clogging a

little because the pain is getting much worse and I am just gobbling

up that demerol. I called the docs and am going in today to see

him. The tube feedings are making me nauseas, or a combo from the

stent and all. So I am taking a lot more zofran. I am supposed to

have 6 cans a day but have only been able to tolerate just up to 5.

The peg doesn't hurt as much as long as nobody gives me a big ole

hug!

I also have an appt with my tax gal, so today is a bad day. Billy

is going with me, surprise, surprise. I told him I didn't think I

could handle all the driving and the dashing here and there. I have

to go by the rad. dept at the hosp. and pick up some films they

will need in Cincy as well. So he will be my driver. We have had

are share of problems, and I was ready to pack up and move out a few

years ago. yeah it was bad. But he has been taking such good care

of me, he has been very loving. Good Lord, we have been friends

since I was 14. Just some things I cant forget, just cant get that

picture out of my mind. Maybe with time.

My goodness, I have certainly have gone on and on. I would love to

meet Lily and Shirley as well. Sorry to have rambled so. How are

you doing with the 2 docs? I still find that odd. I dont understnd

your GI's explaination. Well, the point really of all this, How are

you feeling? Do you feel like you are getting the pain meds you

need to be comfortable? I hope so, Heidi, I truly hope so.

Do you know what is going on with Henry? I haven't seen him post in

such a long time. I hope he is on an extended vacation living large

and having a blast. How are the wedding plans going? Have ya'll

decided on a reception site?

Take care Hiedi, let me know when you plan to come to ton,

maybe I can meet ya'll, bring my girls, have coffee.
