Updates On Family Members-Mar. 5th


Debby's surgery on her shoulder was more extensive. She had a drip pain killer in her shoulder for the first night. Her daughter, Crystal, took her back to the doctor's office in New Hartford yesterday to have that taken out. When he un-bandaged it he found that the drip was never in her shoulder and must have fallen out when they bandaged it. Can you believe that crap! Deb thought she was bleeding but it was that stuff that pumped every two hours, getting her wet. Today Deb even got in the shower herself! Guess she will be okay. She wants to get out of the house so bad so she might stop over for a few minutes. Crystal will bring her. But I can't believe that the doctor told her she could drive with that sling on!! Maybe because it's her left side. I would have thought she'd be in too much pain to drive. Thank heavens though! If she can get out then that is great!

Here is what is going on with my sister, Pam. She wrote me this note.
"Well, just got back from my doctor and they gave me some
medicine and see if it

relieves the pain....doc said either an ulcer, gallbladder or pancreas.
..blood
test I took today should tell more.....Steph is hanging in there
and I hope it
's just bad cells....time will tell. Thanks for the concern
and I will keep you
up to date! Love you all!"


And this is what my nephew, Rick, wrote to me yesterday about his problems:

"I'm off to a shitty year..and here I was being so positive and determined to
make it an awesome one!...I swear, I must have been a real mean bastard
in a past
life and this life is for karmic debt relief.
I found out today (and not from my PCP) that I have some sort of cyst on my
liver..my osteopathic doc said this to me (while discussing my
"Frankenstein"

back) as though I already knew. Then I said "how about giving me a copy of that
report" so, when I went to my car, I read the rest of it and I apparently have a
"collapsed distal colon"..(not sure what this means). Nice of my doctor to give
me these results during my visit 2 weeks ago! Well, you know what they
say.."early detection is the key to defeating cancer", I guess that's why my
first visit with the colonoscopy doc is 2 1/2 months after my initial ER visit!
Is this all sounding familiar to you?"


And my brother, Rich, who broke his kneecap, still has his brace on and
goes back to the doctor
soon to see if it's okay.

He's driving his truck now anyway.

I'm still waiting to hear from the wheelchair lady. Left a message
for her today.
But won't hear from her till Monday probably.

She's on the road today.
My sister, Jeanne, has had a sinus infection for over three weeks
now and makes her miserable.


That's it for now!

Added A couple pics from Deb's visit today.
We are in the "one arm club". Ha! Ha!
