Many prayers going your way for you and Don. Sending

Hello everyone,

Dixie form the Subject heading on so many letters I realize that your

has gone. I am sorry. It is most painful, and I wish you all the strength

love

can bring at this time. I am really sorry.

Now about our events I am so blurred eyed I can hardly write, but wanted to

let you know what happened to us last night.

My Don is in the hospital. He had big time chest pain, so I took him up

there, one mile.

He is still in ER. Arrived there at 1:30 AM, and of course I hadn't even

gone to sleep yet. He is going to be put in the Cardiac unit, but I don't

know

when. I have gone over 30 hours with no sleep at all, and am a zombie. He

is

doing fine, but they think it's one of three stents he has that is acting up

again. I thought he had two stents, but the Doctors assured us today that he

has three. They aren't always explicit at the time of the procedure.

So more test to find the answer. Of course when he is sick he can't answer

questions, or give a correct answer when he does answer. Doctor after

Doctor

came by to talk and ask questions. Such as it is in a huge Teaching

Hospital.

Thank goodness for my printed page of information.

By the way our hospital has been rated in the top 50 of the nation. When

you

think of how many there are, then we hold a pretty high record.

I called the kids and told them I am going to crash, so not to be calling

me.

I am far more sorry for you Dixie. My situation actually pales beside yours

It rather puts ours in a whole new perspective.

I guess I am just " Frabby. "

Love a bunch,

Imogene

Ih Imogene-

I haven't posted too much in the past week. I am only 376 emails behind. My

Mother , who lives next door to me, had a flood in her lovely den and I have

been dealing with many issues relating to the problem Things are resolving now.

I have also been packing my whole house up in boxes. I feel like I am moving,

but I am just getting new carpeting. Can't wait. Anyway, these are minor

problems compared to what we were going through a yr. ago when my Dad was sooooo

sick and also, what you and others have been dealing with.

The real reason I am posting is I just wanted to let you and your Texas

gentleman know that you have been in my thoghts and prayers. I am sure glad you

are both doing better. I know you are taking good care of your husband, but

take care of yourself as well.

XOXOXO

[Guest guest]

This is so sweet. Thank you Gerry. We are fine now. I think maybe somewhat a

little. (grin)

Thanks, good hearing from you.

I want wood floors, as I'm allergic to carpet, and dust mites in it. Oh yes,

there are products to dust on the floor. I have spent a small fortune on

them. I'll take wood or even tile the next time around. My husband won on the

last round, I win next time. (says I while smiling)

Have fun dear one.

Hi Imogene-

Well, Monday is passed and I am wondering

how the doctor appointment went. Was this

appointment for you or your dear one?

Thank you for sharing your weeks appointments

and results. It sure does help knowing how you

are doing. And, it gives me reason to send up

praises.

My friend, , has no results from her tests

last Wednesday. A bit frustrating but she said

she would give until Wednesday this week and

then call.

I have a follow-up appointment scheduled for

September 20 for the lumps and swollen

lymph nodes I have been dealing with. Odd to

me that the appointment was scheduled for

the 4 year anniversary of my dad's passing.

Everything happens for a reason, this too I

suppose.

Sandie, it was quite a week. First the arm injury from a fall, which

resulted in a whole night and part of the next day in ER. Monday it was

changing

dressings by a doctor, Wednesday was Cat Scan day. Didn't turn out so well,

still plagued with Eosenophelia Pneumonia and many scars in my lungs.

Thursday My

LO had a vascular lab test, and I had to have my bandages changed by a

doctor. Friday was

Endoscopy test day. That was a big bonus! There is nothing wrong with my

stomach or duodenum. The pain is from the steroids, or my heart, which they

will

check out next, maybe. I felt the week ended on a positive note, although I

am exhausted. This two days is rest time. Monday it's back to the doctor

again. But, as far as I know that is all for the coming week.

Thanks for asking, Sandie. All is as it has been, thank goodness, and my

lump is gone. That was just a blood clot I am sure. It will be proved out

for

sure in about two months. I sure wish that will be so in Sharon M's case.

Hi Ladies-

Thank you so much for writing and your concerns

they said they would do...they made her dizzy.

She was a mess when she came out of the

testing. I helped her in my truck and drove ever

so carefully to her home. We took some very

wide turns so as not to spin her around a corner.

The doctors had already ruled out Merniere's

Disease and she and I both struggle with

vertigo. It seems though that her doctor wanted

to do more testing to see if something else

was going on. I shall mention surgery for the

Merniere's though.

I do understand the vertigo and how horrible it

can affect one's balance. I have fallen out of the

bed so many times and it can just sneak up on

a person. Whoa!!

I will let my friend know she has thoughts coming

from the group. She will be so grateful.

Many thanks again, for asking about my friend

and offering some very helpful information. I

shall let you know when her test results get

in.

Imogene, did you have your tests last week?

Have you heard anything yet?

with my friend. Well the doctors did exactly what

they said they would do...they made her dizzy.

She was a mess when she came out of the

testing. I helped her in my truck and drove ever

so carefully to her home. We took some very

wide turns so as not to spin her around a corner.

The doctors had already ruled out Merniere's

Disease and she and I both struggle with

vertigo. It seems though that her doctor wanted

to do more testing to see if something else

was going on. I shall mention surgery for the

Merniere's though.

I do understand the vertigo and how horrible it

can affect one's balance. I have fallen out of the

bed so many times and it can just sneak up on

a person. Whoa!!

I will let my friend know she has thoughts coming

from the group. She will be so grateful.

Many thanks again, for asking about my friend

and offering some very helpful information. I

shall let you know when her test results get

in.

Imogene, did you have your tests last week?

Have you heard anything yet?

Many heartfelt hugs to both-

Sandie

Hi Imogene,

I don't know what happened or how long this will last,

but I turned my computer on and was able to get online

yesterday and it's still holding out today. I don't

know how long this will last, but it's great to be

back. I am still getting a new computer as soon as my

daughter can help me. She knows all the stuff that I

need on it. This computer is so old that I can't even

download a lot of things, because it doesn't have

whatever it takes to do it. I can't click on upgrade,

because it's too old to upgrade anything. I get pop up

things that tell me it can't be done. I am hoping this

Sunday will be my day to get a new computer. Hooking

it up will be another problem for me. I am a total

blank on what to do. I hope she can stay and help with

that too. I am so dependent on needing computer help.

I never was going to ever get a computer and now I

can't live without one. LOL Hope your grandson shows

up soon to help get your computer up and going, so it

isn't so annoying to get online. I know what you mean

about the waiting. My kids too always seem to be so

busy, that I have to wait patiently for their help.

I am signed up for Adult Education computer classes

starting the second week of Sept. to learn how to use

the PC. I have an iMac now and I know nothing about

using Windows. I have to learn how to use the new

XPWindows. I have computer anxiety, so I hope I can

understand it all. Remember, you just taught me how to

cut and paste, so I could put a website on an e-mail.

I was so excited to be able to do that and now I will

have to learn all over how to do it with a PC. I hope

I can learn. I am an " Old Dog " so I don't know if I

can learn new tricks. No, I am thinking positive. I

CAN!

Good to hear from you Imogene. Hugs, Jan
