Mid April

I just want to thank everyone for their sweet comments and thoughts and prayers for me during this time.

Well, this week I found out that the stent they placed in my kidney ended up in the wrong place. Long story short, I am not healing. So the urologist took the stent out yesterday and I have to wear the catheter coming out of my kidney for a month until I have surgery which will be after my niece's wedding in May. I'll be in the hospital about three days after that surgery. I'll have a stent in for a month after that while the surgery spot heals. I sure pray this all works. But it will be a long month with this catheter..yuck. it's just too uncomfortable not to mention you have to be careful not to get it contaminated with any germs and I'm a bit of a germ freak.

I found this surprise at my front door last week! Pretty roses from Alfred'sMom. It sure was a bright spot in my day. And they smelled good and I enjoyed them every time I passed by them on the table. Thank you AM!



They were nicely packaged! It always amazes me how they can package flowers where they don't get damaged.


Aunt Sue's birthday was last week. She had a yummy cake. Mama and daddy came over and we went out to eat. This was the first time in forever that I didn't have a birthday gift for Aunt Sue...but one will be coming soon...just haven't been able to get out and shop. I did make her a card and I'll put it up in my stamping blog at some point. I'm managing to get one card done a week.


The girls put on their Easter dresses to show their grandmama and grandpapa when they came over last week.


Little Holly Dolly had x-rays done on her back this past week because her legs fall out from under her and we wanted to see what was going on with that. Looks like she has several disk in her back that are really compressed (I think is what he said). Vet is going to send x-rays to radiologist to see if a biopsy is needed to see if anything else is going on. He thinks she is too old to have surgery, that her bones might not heal well at this age. I just want to make sure she is comfortable and not hurting. I am still waiting to hear what the radiologist says.

So glad to see you back blogging. I was getting worried. Sounds like you have really had an ordeal(with more to come). I will certainly remember you in my prayers.
Those little dresses just make me smile! Hope little Miss Holly is getting around better soon.

Oh you poor dear! How awful! You hate to blame the doctors for messing up but sometimes these things happen.

Praying for you and hoping you get well soon.
