Hi Ya Ms. Suzie Q - Red2 to Red1

[Guest guest]

Toots I see they are putting you through the mill again and gonna keep on testing everything from head to toe and all in between too. They probably found spots and stuff you never knew you had before. It's gotta be tough on you no energy feeling like hell traveling so far each time and time to recoup when you get back home.

Honey hang in there and no strangling Dr's staff yet you still need them. Later you can vent all you want to.

Here in the states stop smoking or we don't list you. Yep they asked each time - drink alcohol - nope - do rec drugs - nope - smoke cigs - nope. They even sniffed me even checked fingernails for tobacco stains and tp contract I had to sign being a good cooperative pt I could be called in at any time for full drug tox screen. They knew me well enough by than and didn't.

I had quit smoking many years before I was even dx'ed and about 2 years after transplant. Than picked up the habit again and now up to a pack a day. Yep got all the questions again each time after transplant at check-up appt's and still till today,

Smoke cigarettes - yep and no bitching at me cause I can't be perfect sorry. I do all the other stuff eat right and maintained excellent body weight for my size. They laughed and said ok we can't expect you to be perfect but you should quit. Next appt - yep still smoking and don't tell me again I know gotta quit bad for my health. It relieves my stress no cancers no lung problems. I figure smoking will not get me 1st now right and if I quit I may start strangling people. We all gotta laugh out of that too.

Yep it's a bad expensive health habit for me everyone but I can't be perfect and the lessor of the evils bad habits for me now.

Y'all is to a word and if you make it far enough down south and here to visit it's all you will hear and - how's ya mamma and family doing cher - pass a good time cher - just saw your cousan on the neutral ground waiting for the streetcar when I was makin' groceries - where yat is hi how ya doing with our diverse mixtures of cultures slangs and Cajun french slang Mardi Gras words terms we have a language all our own down here.

Haaaaaaaa I loved hearing Patty Pooh trying to pronounce streets signs and towns and she was driving my car where the hell am I. Just get on I10 from me and take the Tchoupitoulas St. exit and I'll show you the quarter uptown and downtown N.O. Take the what %^ & *( ing exit. I'm lost. I know cause downtown N.O. the Quarter isn't down it's up and uptown The Garden Districk old mansons isn't up it's down from the quarter where we are now.

Now we are going to visit Mel on the Westbank of the river get back on I10 and head east. Wait a minute your west of N.O. Mel is east of you and she lives on the Westbank. Yep cause the Miss River curves and snakes so much around here all the way to the Gulf you gotta head east cross the Miss River Bridge to go to the west bank of the river that is really east where Mel lives. She's on the westbank of the river and I'm on the eastbank but really live across the river from Mel and west of her and N.O. same side of the river as N.O.

That blew poor Patty Pooh's mind even more.

Let's go crusing again your driving I10 again real west this time than north straight as an arrow can see for miles aound you. You can open him up see how fast you can gonna show you the Miss River spillway where it meets the lake and the marshes . Oh shit ok. The river opens to the lake and than open to the Gulf ???? Just drive I'll show ya. Wow - now take this exit north and don't miss the Manshack exit on your right we need gas. Pooh that exit take a right Now !!!!!!!! What that 1 - yep the 1 you just missed. I'll just take the next one. Nope no more exiti's for many many miles your over marsch water to next big enough town. It''s dark nightime by now no lights in the middle of nowhere and dash light comes on get gas now.

Where the hell are we ???? I couldn't resist and kinda true - where they dump body's in the water for alligator food. No shit - yep. I think I heard about that.

Long story short we made it had a great time adventure and had Dev's cell phone # for back-up or to bail us out of jail.

It just happens that way for us and LOA'sO the entire time. It's either laugh or cry and we make the best of it and every adventure deep shit we end up getting ourselves into.

Funny thing is the same stuff happens with me and Mel - hummmm.

I thought you could use a few good laughs about now.

Love and Hugs.

Deb and RD

ok you were red 1st and not out the bottle

Deb, Y'all is NOT a word!!! Sorry but it ain't. I'm the same as before. Going back to Toronto next month for another MRI & meetings with the G I & the transplant clinic docs. I've gotten very tired lately & I can't sleep for more than two hours straight because of the diuretics - gotta wake up & pee every so often. My balance is going & my gastro wants to send me to a neurologist to make sure it's the encephalopathy & not something else. I saw my family doc today & she started giving me shit for still smoking so I told her we'll deal with the liver first & if that works out, THEN we'll deal with the smoking - get off my back! SpYke makes me crazy, he's shedding even more than usual & has gotten very demanding - all I should be

doing (in his furry little mind) is scratching his ears & stroking his back while he kneads me & purrs but he IS cute & a lot easier to deal with than a man! Life's a joy! SuZieMen are like lava lamps - pretty to look at but not too bright.
