Mamma B’s Update and the Voices in My Head | Filed under Family
I’ve been hearing voices lately and they keep saying something about a post, I would think a fence post, then this voice would say no stupid …. a post for your blog. You have not written a post since you wrote about Momma B. Stop making excuses about things and just do it after all you have a few housekeeping issues to take care of so here I am even though I was drug here by those voices that I refused to acknowledge but they just continued to invade my private space better known as my brain…and YES I do have one…Thank you very much keep the wise cracks to yourself right now…..I happen to be PMSing and if you need to know very much about life with one who has PMS check here.
Thank you for your comments sending your best wishes , sending your prayers, and for the friends who called me, the friends who commented more than once, the friends who e-mailed me or IM’ed your concern for her and for me it was and is greatly appreciated. It is times like this when I realize who my friends are and the depth of our friendship. Thank you seems inadequate but it comes from my heart. It has been a very long struggle and continues to be with Momma B. She is still in the hospital, has her chest tube in, still receiving IV heprin, Coumadin, IV antibiotics and IV Morphine for pain. The chest x-rays are still being done daily as well as EKG’s. The chest x-rays still show one area of the left lung that is of concern which is the reason the chest tube remains in ….a pocket has not sealed as they want it to but it is getting smaller each day. A discussion did take place yesterday about taking out the chest tube that is in and putting in a different size to see if that would help but it is attached to suction and so are now changing the settings instead. and waiting for now This is the major thing keeping her in the hospital right now.
The second issue is her heart but she can come back at a later date …….they have not been able to correct her atrial fibrillation with medication so she will have to come back for a brief procedure where an electrical shock is delivered to the heart through paddles or patches placed on the chest. The shock stops the heart’s electrical activity for a split second. When it begins again, it may resume normal rhythm. The procedure is performed under light anesthesia. Wednesday night we did get the results from the biopsy and they are BENIGN. The answer we are all so relieved to hear we are still having a party ……NOT but we are planing one anyway for Momma and Daddy B will be married 50 years later this month.
There are so many things I want to say and will say but those come later this is over due. I made a discovery while at my in-law’s I fell in love with living in the country.
Today is a special day for my friend so please stop by and wish Phoenix the best on her 50th and not a word because she is my fellow Gemini and so very young. Happy Birthyday and may this be the best, we are getting better my friend and will be the best yet.
Oh by the way those voices, we all have them if we have a conscience. Hope you have a good weekend and I’ll be back again not sure when it will be as a routine is not yet in site.

You take care of you and family and Momma B and we’ll take care of the prayers. PMS time is over (aren’t you happy?) and I’m out of town this weekend and next.
Take care and I’m just a phone call away if you need me.
Love you.

Best wishes for the family. May she be home soon.
June 2nd, 2006 at 5:05 pm
So glad to hear things are a bit better Vickie! I’m keeping her in my prayers, hoping she will be home and feeling well again soon!
And dont’ forget to take care of you too!

You really are going through the mill, my dear. God, I’m so sorry you are having to deal with all of this. I do hope she gets better - and soon. Again - please don’t neglect yourself while tending to her. Stress can make a person very sick - something I know a great deal about. So do see to your own needs - OK? I’m sending warm, healing thoughts your way.

Benign is such a beautiful word! I know you must be worn out physically and emotionally, but I thank you so much for the update. I worry about you also, ya know! Take care, and I’ll be watching for more updates. I’m sitting here now thinking about when Mom and Dad celebrated their 50th. It’s such a special moment in time. God bless and many hugs to you, Ms. Vickie.

I’m not doing that again.
Great news on your mother in law.
One issue at a time and before you know it she will be home with you all.
\Pms again, seems to be following me asround form blog to blog.
That’s it, I’m keeping the riot gear on.
Have a nice weekend Vickie smile:

I have my own type of PMS, Pure Misery Surges (hot flashes or power surges) but thanks to some good meds, I don’t have them often. I keep telling myself it’s because I’m *hot* *instert hysterical laughter here*
I continue to keep you all in my prayers and you know I’m here if you ever need to talk. Now get your behind down to that river as Dr. Karen instructed
Love you, girlfriend!:bananadance:

I am glad you left a comment over at my place. Yours was one of the blogs I was looking for and I could not find the link. I am glad to be here. Congrats on the test results. My prayers are with you for all you are going through now. My prayers are with you for all the medical issues you are facing.
Take care and God Bless!

Sounds like your Mom-in-law is doing a little better. Hope it isn`t long before she is doing well enough to be able to go home.
June 2nd, 2006 at 10:14 pm
It sounds like your MIL is improving. As we get older it tends to take longer so this really isn’t a surprise. The main thing is her condition is getting better.
I wish them well on their 50th. Annie & I didn’t make it to our 40th but the 37 we did have sure were great. I wish we had more but am very thankful for those we did have.

I’m sorry Momma B is so sick, she is in my prayers as are you.
Take care, and we’ll be waiting here at the Crossroads for you!

I am glad to hear that Momma B. is doing so much better. I love hearing the word benign. I hope she continues to get sorted out and get everything back to normal.

Thanks for the update and it is not all bad news for you. I certainly can relate to having someone in the hospital that you love. Heading back to my MIL on Monday to visit her in the hosptial and take care of her affairs.
