  • I had another blog started about a week ago. It's still in process. There's alot been going on lately in my life, keeping me running around & worn out. I still plan on posting it, but thought I'd better at least post something in the meantime.

     

    I've mentioned that my son is going for surgery on his left knee. They're replacing his anterior cruciate ligament, harvesting 2 hamstring tendons from the back of that knee. The surgery is in the morning... EARLY!!! We're going to have to get up about 5:15 to be able to make it there at the time they demand. I'm not a morning person, so this will be difficult, to put it mildly. I wish it were scheduled a bit later, but it looks like my son is the first surgical patient for the day. We're also coming from a long distance for this... about 25 miles one way.

     

    Please keep my son in your thoughts during this. As good as the statistics are with surgeries nowadays, there are still chances of things going wrong. I'm trying to stay positive that his surgery will go as well as all of mine have, with no reactions to anesthesia, no complications during the surgery & no nausea during recovery.

     

    Also, please add my sister's father-in-law to your prayer/thoughts too. I've just learned that he's had a recurrence of cancer (originally kidney, with him being Type-2 diabetic) & has metastasized. He's not doing well, not eating & screwing up his sugar levels, so having to go to the emergency room often. It sounds like he won't last very much longer & will soon join his wife, who died about 5 years ago.

  • Prayers have been said, and sent your way.

    May all go well with your son, and your sister's father in law.

    God bless you........Atoka 

  •  ;) my thoughts and prayers go out to you and son ... also, to your sister-in-law's father and family ... cancer is hard on the patient and family ... gives us survivors lots of grief, pain, sorrow, humility, .....  we survivors must grin and bear it for the patient who does this for us ... they who suffer thru w/cancer are saints!!! i know my dad was, esp when us kids or grandkids were around ...

    aloha mylene ... take it easy! 

  • {{{{waves of good thoughts in your direction}}}}....

  • Tell Carl that Amber says hi and that he is in our prayers, to get better fast. We'll be thinking of him. And your sister's father-in-law too.

    On the SS front, they keep telling me that it's on its way, but I haven't seen it so far.

  • i will pray for both of them in my prayers..i hope the surgery went well! how've you been lately?
