We have been going through so much junk lately that it is trying to take all of our fun away.

First my husband is having pain and other stuff going on. Our vehicle had, yes, had been having trouble with a very bad leak in its gas line, and now our neighbor. He is getting a divorce from the druggie from hell, our other neighbor is a gossip and has been bugging the first poor man a lot.

Oy vey……I though that Payton Place was off the TV. Well, it seems like if it isn’t one thing it is another.

What is it that used to been done when you wanted to say something naughty and didn’t want to actually use the language? Oh yeah…=n09426p] ; a^&%()^&^

I know that this is a subject that is rarely talked about. My husband has trouble with these things, so does his mom.

I have been blessed to avoid them. Some people will want to get surgery, other will try natural hemorrhoid treatments, other will go for medical treatment that does not include the surgery option.

I have no idea what it is like to experience them. I hope that I never do. I have known others who were severely bothered and those people went through some serious bother. Whatever each person experiences, it is up to them to determine what they will do, and how they will do it.

Tomorrow, he will be operated on. My husband that is.

He has been waiting for this to happen since the beginning of November of 2009. Thank God he has not been waiting 12 months, but it has been long enough. I have a bag ready with stuff to keep me occupied while he is in surgery. If I had any promotional items that I could share, I know there will be a lot of other people waiting also.

He is nervouse about this. It is occurring in a very personal place, so the nervousness is understandable. He is also impatient top get it over with and no longer will he need to be catheterized. I mentioned in earlier posts that he considers it to be another type of torture. Well, time will tell. He is sleeping right now and I hope that he is getting the rest that he needs for tomorrow.

Well, the on going saga of my husband and his possible surgery goes on.

I was wondering why nothing was happening. So, I called the doctor’s office to find out just what was going on. I managed to talk to a very nice lady who then told me that the doctor was out SICK.

No one told us anything until them. We kept waiting and waiting for someone to call. The secretary, who knew that we had been waiting, never called, she just took her vacation time since the doctor was out sick.

Anger is too mild a word for what I felt when I found this out. The same person who fouled up the first date for his surgery by with-holding information on medicine to stop, couldn’t be bothered to let us know why the surgery wasn’t going to happen any time soon. Never mind all of the pain that he has been going through each day with all of the procedures in catheterization. Anger, oh yeah, but the lady that I was talking to was not at fault. So now we continue to wait, …………..still………………………………………..

Anyone who has watched NASA get a shuttle ready to be launched, knows what that means.

The cardiologist said that he is okay to go ahead with the surgery. Yippee In fact he said that there is only minimal rick associated with him having surgery. Now, all we have to do is get the anesthesia assessment unit to finish his interview, get the urologist to set a date, and get the surgery done.

Tomorrow, my husband will undergo some cardiac stress tests.

We are both praying that the tests show he is able to have surgery. We cannot imagine what his life would be like having to be catheterized every day for the rest of his life. horrible

I know that is a strange title for an article, but it states my feelings.

My husband was supposed to be operated on December 10. It did not happen. we went to the Anesthesia assessment unit with my husband for his pre-op interview. It went okay until the nurse verified that he had stopped his Plavix and daily aspirin. Well, we were not told that was necessary. The information that we got from the secretary did not include that little bombshell.

Well, the operation was canceled. Then my husband was told to visit a cardiologist. We did that. Now he has to under go a thallium stress test. It is not until the 17th of December. One whole week after he was supposed to be operated on. The continued waiting is getting worse. The new operation is not even mentioned, yet. The cardiologist is going on vacation the same day of the test and will not be back until the 22nd. So, my husband is scheduled with another cardiologist the day after the test, on the 18th.

Meanwhile each day, is the procedure where my husband is catheterized at least 3 xs a day with accompanying pain each and every time. He suffers daily cramping inside his gut. He has pain almost all of the time either from hurt after the cramp, or from the procedure itself.

I could scream.

Well, my husband was supposed to be operated on on December 10th.

It was fouled up. The secretary ‘forgot’ to give all of the information to us. My husband was supposed to stop 2 medicines for a week before the operation, and we were never told of this. Now, he has to go through the cardiologist the day after he was supposed to be operated on and we do not know when the operation will be.

Yes, I am GROWLING HERE. He has to go through unnecessary pain every day that should be ending soon. Instead he will be going through it for at least one week longer. It makes me wonder what else the secretary fouled up.

Guess what? I still have the chair that I called 5 wheels of torment. It still does cause problems when I forget just how close the wheels are and I manage, yet again, to hit my toes. Talk about pain! I try to avoid turning the air blue, but it does hurt.

I still have a grudge against the person who decided that things should have 5 wheels and not four.

Every time I try to roll the chair, it goes in a direction that I do not want. I am used to it by now, but it still makes me cringe when my toes get involved. Then there are the 5 wheels that torment people in the hospital when there is an IV stand that is involved. I have not yet found even one of them that rolls in a straight line. GROWL

Maybe there is a ’scientific’ reason for using 5 wheels, but just try to make that item roll in only one direction. Bet you can’t.

Have you ever had times when you can’t think? Your mind feels fuzzy, your thoughts are disordered, and you find it hard to focus? Been there done that.

It ain’t no fun. Just try to balance a checkbook when the numbers don’t make any sense. I hate that feeling. It is not easy to errands or drive in any sensible manner. Muzzy, wuzzy, fuzzy head is not fun. Yes, I am griping. I’ve been missing sleep lately, and that leaves me with the problem of not being able to think.

It would be nice is there was a medicine that could stop the problem. However, every medicine can have its side effects. The thing that keeps me from getting my sleep is the pain in my bones and joints. My pain meds do not seem to work as well as they used to work. I refuse to give up however. I will try to think anyway. Ha, so there, I guess that stubborn does sometimes pay.
