CHRISTMAS, SURGERY, NEW YEARS
CHRISTMAS:
We went to Stacy's right after church. Sean was all set to make Amereto Sours. I said yes then had to say no (surgery rules). Oh well, next time.
We had a sleep over and the next morning we had our opening of presents. My goodness Santa was good to us. I got a D.S. (which I had asked for) and many games. The best one is the Brain Age. I tried it out and have a brain age of 64. That is 7 years more than I am old. Feeling sortof bummed (but also knowing I wanted something like this to stimulate and get going) Bob tried it out. Hummm.. He got a brain age of 80. Whoo hoo. I don't feel so bad. Kris Gilman wanted to try. She also got 80. She said I want to try again. So we put in Melo's birthday etc. She tried again and it was still 80. Now I know I am going to practice and get better than my age.
P.S. Bob tried again last night and he is now 63 brain age. It helps to practice.
SURGERY.
Day after Christmas I was in the surgery unit in Columbia. I was really calm. I guess I was ready for things to be different down there.
After about 1 and 1/2 hours I was in the recovery room. Bob missed the Dr. because he went out of the hospital to do a couple of things and didn't get back in time (the Dr. told him 2 hours - but he was quicker than that.) So the Dr. came in to see me and said everything went fine. I was just wanting more nap. The exit nurse asked me if I had my perciset with me. I said no. She told me to take some when I got home. MISTAKE.
I took it and ended up throwing up and passing out. Talked to the Dr. (Gloria prompted me to do that - thanks glo). He said no to the perciset. I got a lot better by the third day. I have had naps everyday. So...thanks for all the prayers and good wishes.
NEW YEARS EVE.
Bob wanted to spend New Years eve alone (him and I) so he could go to bed when he wanted to. (He has been sleeping off a cold) BUT...Kris Gilman was spending it all alone (only Maggie, her dog, to keep her company). She said let me bring pizza and some movies. TA DA instant party.
Bob had already gone to the store to get stuff for banana splits. That is what I wanted for New Years eve. So we had one more for splits. It was fun, although I sat on my bum too long and got the throbbies.
We saw..Hairspray (boring) couldn't wait for that one to be finished.
White Chicks. Loved it all the way.
Wild Hogs. OK - had some fun parts.
Kris spent the night and went home early in the morning. Had to feed her horses.

Been to PICU/Adam is in the hospital
I am in Kansas City at Childrens Mercy. I specifically went the the 2nd floor to check out the Ronald McDonald family room. Guess what?? It is in the PICU area. I got lost. Had to go back to ground floor and start over. No one was manning the family room. We were trying to get a bedroom for the night (in the ronald McD house)but may have to go to the parent room.
Adam is here with an after flu problem. His blood platelets are low low low. He is getting medicine and it makes him feel like the flu, vomiting, headache and fever. We have been (Bob and me) with him all afternoon today to let Cindi get a break and get some things taken care of at home. She will be here soon. If the blood count goes up tomorrow he may get to go home. But otherwise stay for additional treatment. There is even talk of a test of his bone marrow so they can use steriods. This is not in the cards if his count goes up.
He is looking very small. He slept a good deal of the day away. We are watching movies and he has a playstation 2 with games to play.
Pray for him!! Only well people can come in this ward no germs allowed.
- JUDY how do you sleep in chairs?? I did last night and it is no picnic.
Bob spent time with Melo's boys and the night at her house last night. He will stay here tonight. All for now. keep you posted as we get more news.

THE STICKY STORY
Once upon a time....We took Christy to El Jimidor for supper and the waiter spilled an entire glass of soda on her. She got her meal free tried to clean up and we left.
We went to a Block Buster to get a movie for the night and I wanted Christy to go in with me so we would get a movie that was good and fairly recent. (I have a problem with finding the right ones). Anyway - she declined to go in because she was STICKY.
The next day we took her to Buffalo Wild Wings in Columbia. She was playing the trivia games with the other customers. It was viewed on TV's through out the room. She named herself STICKY.
We could hear a young man say "Yeah, in your face Sticky", when he would top her points. It went back and forth like that. She always topped his points and then he would say something very loud to STICKY that he was again ahead. Christy was giggling every time the young guy would lose to her or go ahead of her in points. She had a good time. Then all of a sudden the kid had to leave. We could hear him going to each table asking "Are you Sticky?, Are you Sticky?". He obviously wanted to meet his nemisis. He never got to our table before he left. Christy was snickering to beat the band that she remained anonymous.
IN YOUR FACE STICKY!! is what we remember the most.

LIVER BIOPSY RESULTS
LIVER BIOPSY RESULTS:
I called the Dr. office and the Nurse said (the dr hasn't seen it yet) that my liver is not damaged. No cirosous, no fibrosis. Looks like I need to loose weight and perhaps a mediciation I am taking is causing the liver enzyme Alpha triptoline to be high. All in all GOOD NEWS!! I am just FAT!! who knew??? (ME of course).
WELL there you go. She said that when the Dr. reads it she will call if there is anything more to add.
Need you to write again sometime. We need to break the 17 comment section of blogging. Love ya

Biopsy Done
To all who wonder - the biopsy is done. I was suppose to get the results today but you only have to look out our window to GET THE PICTURE THAT 14" of snow CLOSED EVERYTHING - even the Dr. Offices. So I won't know til Monday what the results are.
I was dreading the whole thing of course. I put it off for 11 months. Trusting the bloodwork would prove them wrong and I wouldn't need this proceedure. Dr. Roberts was the one who did the biopsy came in a talked to me. I was told that I would feel the medicine that deadened the area then some tugs when he did the actual biopsy. He was going to take 2 samples from the same poke hole. (my question "one hole?") The nurse touched me and I cringed and my body pulled away. She said she was only marking the spot and try not to move. The Dr. came in and they gave me something to calm me. Then he started putting in the stinging stuff to deaden the area. I groaned so I wouldn't move but they gave me more calm meds and the next thing I knew it was over. Did not have to experience the tugging feeling.
I was placed in the hall for 1 hour because they didn't have a place for me to go. Then they sent me to the Cath Lab for a place and a male nurse to observe and take stats. I was placed in a reclining chair. Didn't get to lay down ever. Then they called Stacy to get me. Oh yeah, I didn't eat anything until 12:45 p.m. and they gave me......

are you ready??....
a FIG NEWTON AND ICE WATER!! Oh baby did that taste good. No real food til we were done with Abby's appointment at 3:00 p.m. It wasn't so bad though. I guess the pain medicine fills you up too. lol.
She had an appointment in Columbia for Abby's follow up on her surgery and so I didn't get to lay down til we got back to Stacy's house.
All in all it wasn't bad. More of the anticipation was worse on me. I am doing fine and it doesn't hurt to belch, take a deep breath or pass gas now. (Oh my that hurt the first day to do any of those things.)

CRUD STILL AT LARGE - LIVER BIOPSY ON WED.
Well, Bob has this crud. He has a sore throat and he sounds awful. He took it to St. Louis - so maybe we will be spared. So far I don't have it. NO, I didn't kiss him goodbye!! Hope you all are getting better.
After hearing from Dr. Mandy, I called the Dr. office and asked to schedule the biopsy soon. They were JOHNNY on the SPOT as I will be in the Hospital on Wednesday morning for the biopsy. I am starting to be nervous.
Stacy has Abby's follow up dentist appointment on Wednesday afternoon. I didn't know that and I also didn't know about the scheduled biopsy til I got home. (And I gave them my cell phone number on purpose for them to call me).
Anyway, Stacy will have to get up and get me there by 8:00 a.m. and be on call for a couple of hours. I told her to go shopping or back home. Wonder what she will do????????
Thanksgiving didn't go like we had planned. It was way different. We went to Cindi and Rob's and was going to Mom's on Friday with Rob and the kids in tow and spend the night at the Cabins in LaCygne.
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED: Went to Rob and Cindi's on Wednesday. Thursday to Mom's for Thanksgiving, overnight stay with Christy and back to Maryville. Rob and Cindi had to move out while family was in town due to the guy buying their house moving up the closing date. SOOOO we moved them to a new residence , 311 Park with Cindi's family helping. Then we went home on Saturday. Sunday we crashed. I slept til 11:45 a.m. WHOA. Haven't done that in a while.
Today was crazy warm. I put up the Christmas lights on our porch. I can't reach the house gutters so the porch had to be my creation. It kinda looks like a gingerbread house with the lights wrapping around the posts and the sides. Not to bad for a gal doing it alone.
Stacy did her house too. Abby loved it. She thanked her mom for the tree and lights tonight. She is a doll!!
P.S. I got a hug too. She hummed "We Wish You A Merry Christmas". It was great reading everyone's blog tonight. Thanks.
