I am aware that it has been a long time since I have posted. Today is a good day. I talked to Charise two days ago because she saw the notes Dr Burke put under my file about the pain. Hey everyone, you know you are in pain when you have to crawl from the bathroom to your bows. GOLLIE!
She suggested I start isinglass ice. I think it's working.

TWO NIGHTS AND COUNTING
It was our. 26th wedding anniversary yesterday. Isn't that something. They have been some pretty special years too. We had a lovely dinner at home. No wine but who cares. We had each other and Jim is doing a wonderful Job taking care of me.
John and his friends stopped by coming back from Red Lake with their fill of walleyes.
I hope Jim goes soon for walleyes. I do feel good enough to be left alone. I just have to remember not to lift anything.
I have to finish "A REDBIRD CHRISTMAS" by tomorrow. it is a quick read I hear.

IT'S SUNDAY, I THINK!
The hardest part is trying to figure out what day it is. I am doing almost too well. How can I possibly feel this good? I am well aware that the 90 HYDROCO/APAP whatever help me feel good. I have been remembering to take one every 4 or 5 hours. I can take two but one works plenty good.
All my back pain in my legs and back has disappeared - it's so hard to believe. We got home Friday night. At 9PM. It was a long day. We got up at 2AM, left at 3:30AM and arrived at St Mary's Hospital at 5:30Am.
Things didn't go as planned but do they ever? I was able to knit a scarf for Laura and let me tell you it was a big hit with the nurses. We sure had a fun time discussing knitting. They weren't happy with my EKG from Remer and wanted me to go through a stress test at the heart institution art of the hospital so off we went. It aws chemicle induced so no running or treadmill on my part. They sure put me through the mill. Injected radio active drugs to get the heart to react and injected me twice and put me on a machine that takes pictures all around the heart. One injection made you out of breath as if you had been running. Weird. Then they have to inject something to get you back to normal.v imagine me back to normal. It took a couple of hours but the surgery was a go so instead of an operation at 8:40 we went in at 11AM and instead of a 2 hour surgery it was a 5 hour surgery. I guess everything went well because they let me go home and we headed out to Remer at about 7PM. They changed my dressing before I left and Jim did it Sat morning after my shower.
I felt so good yesterday I even went over to June and Gordy's across the street for coffee and cookies.

OPERATION DAY
It's 3AM and I am ready to go.
DEDE how can I ever thank you enough for the surprise package. What fun I am going to have picking out what necklace or bracelet to go with which outfit. I have had the slippers on everyday since I got them, cute dish towel too. What a calendar.
Have to run and will be in touch. I figure I can't be any worse off than I am.

I WISH I COULD GET PICTURES IN HERE
One of these days I will figure out how to get pictures on my blog. I did it last year but forot how.
THE HOLIDAYS
Skye was home for Christmas for 3 nights. I sure missed the rest of the family but Skye and I had a wonderful time. We made soups, cookies, a wonderful Christmas Day dinner. Rich, Jim's brother was here for the Turkey Dinner. We had, Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn caserole and peas. A friut salad that was yummy and I made a strawberry rubarb pie. We made a bunch of meals to go for both Skye and Rich. After everybody left I can tell you I took a well deserved nap.
When I woke up all the pain I had shifted from my right side to my left side. Very interesting. I talked to Dr Broadway's nurse because it was time to run me through the preliminary check in for the surgery I was to have on Wed. Turns out the Dr cancelled it and ordered me up another MRI, he wanted to see if there were any changes and now the surgery is this Fri. I will get a call again for getting me checked in today.

SAD NEWS - A PICTURE OF MY MOM JUDY AND MY COUSIN DAWN AS A BABY 1943
My cousin Dawn died on Dec 12th and I wasn't even aware of it. She was 68 and died of cancer. She was lovely and oh so talented. Her daughter got a hold of me after I had sent a Christmas card. It's so sad that we only keep in touch sometimes over the holidays. Life gets busy and things get in the way. It's just too bad. I am so glad her daughter Pam got in touch with me.
