Hospital, Lily and Flowers, Misty, More Flowers, and Family
Here I was waiting...
waiting on the surgeon and the dude
to put me to sleep!
That sounds wild, putting
me to sleep. Glad that was
not the case.
So according to what I
have read in the doc report, and
what she told Amber, my left
kidney is all jacked up.
Not really sure as to
what that meant, but when
Amber asked the doc if this
could have been done due to
surgery last yr. or was I born
with it not RIGHT.
But, she had to do some
digging to get to the stones.
The question, would the stone
with the infection spread once
it was busted. Two days out and
apparently, the meds are taking
care of that. I go back in
two weeks to have the stint
removed. That was placed in
my tube cause it
is rather narrow and she
wanted the pieces of stone
to have room to pass.
Thinking that is prob the
reason why my stones
have not been able
to move down so I can
pass them in the past.
Doc is thinking that these last
stones were left from last yrs
surgery and that the infusions
are helping them to grow big.
Anyway, I am resting and healing.
I did walk out into the
yard yesterday to pick some
flowers from my flowerbed.
These have done well in
the drought TN is having
cause I have not even been
watering. These are
short stem zinnia's.
But like everything I
bring in, I have to let
Lily Bit
smell it.
She even had to sniff the
shoes I wore to the hospital.
What a NOSE!
Misty seems to think that
a look out the front
of the house is a great
change of view to life.
She will sit there forever
and just look.
I have seen her jump at a
bug that comes to the storm
door on the outside, thinking
she can get it. Same with a
lizard or two that runs by.
After about 30 mins of
watching the uneventful
outside, she curled up
in her cubby for a nap.
Day after surgery I did
venture out to the yard,
you saw the flowers
Lily had to smell.
But I not only cut me
some flowers, I cut
some for Amber and
some for the mail lady.
I had a jar that I put
Ambers flowers in but
I Modge Podged scrape
book paper around it.
Did not get a pic of the
one I did for the mail
lady, but I decorative her
a can like the jar for Amber.
my kitty cat vase.
I took the mail ladies
flowers to the mailbox,
sat them in, with a thank
you note and put the flag
up so she would stop.
I only have two aunts and
one blood uncle living on
mom's side of the family
None on dads.
I also have an amazing
uncle that was married
to my mom's sis.
But with that said, I
try to stay in touch
with my two aunts. Usually
on FB chat but I check in
on them often and they
check in on me.
They are both close and
they like to play around
by saying that each one
is my fav aunt.
My aunt Martha (oldest of
the two) always sends out
cards. I got this the day
after surgery.
Notice how it is signed!!
This is Martha.
Not sure of her age but I
think she is a couple
years older than Donna.
Donna is only like seven
years older than me, making
her 72 and maybe Martha 74 or so.
I think it is important to stay in
touch and hopefully this coming
year, I will be well, where I have
not been for 1.5 yrs, and I want
to drive to Ga and visit them.
longer hair. And my uncle Paul.
My non-blood uncle is uncle
Jerry.
Being that Martha and Donna
were younger than mom and her
other two sisters, their kids
are younger than me.
But, since my cousin Kathy and
I were really close growing up
so I spent a lot of time
at uncle Jerry's house.
Jerry is about 84 now.
He has a great, great grandson.
This is an extension to my family.
My Georgia family.
Once a yr, summer, uncle Jerry
and the family head to Fla.
Watch out Fla!!
My younger brother, sis in law, and niece
usually go at this time also
but they hardly ever do the family pic.
Wild bunch on the beach. I have been
invited many times but being out
and about with that bunch and
trying to decide what to do....
would prob drive me
NUTS!
HAHA..
Have a great day,
Pam

Your flowers are pretty and putting that paper on the jar was a great idea.
As long as Misty continues to look... I had a cat that one day tried to climb the screen...
