~Flashbacks~

Well .... depressing news.. I talked to Dawn last nite..and she informed me Donnie's dad is in hospital..and will be having a triple heart bypass on monday. Talk about flashbacks.. I feel for him.. I will say when I had mine done..they kept me out of it for a week, by then when they woke me I was more stable. I spent 2 weeks in intensive care when they did mine but I had other complications health wise...I can remember it tho.. The recuperation for me seemed to take forever. and that was when I really got used to sleeping on my back...after open heart surgery they didnt let me sleep on my sides because of the clamps holding my ribs together.. Was so interesting..when I had my last heart cath done back in 03 they gave me a copy of the xray photos of the arteries in my heart. well the clamps they used to hold my ribs back in place really show up.. When I first saw that I looked and said "WHAT IS THAT IN ME?" I didnt know thats what they used.. Its kinda hard to describe..but ...on a can of sardines..there is a key type thing to hook onto the lid to peel the lid back with a sort of square loop at the end of a longer piece of metal..well that is what it looks like that is or was holding my chest together.. I had NO idea...Well No one told me lol...For a minute I thought they really had put in the zipper I requested lol...:-) My heart bypass was a emergency sort of surgery when they did the heart cath that monday after the heart attack I had the saturday before I had another one during the procedure and thats all I remember other than hearing the words" RUSH to SURGERY" and I was out of it...But I DO remember the recovery.. I guess why I remember it so well is because 2 weeks after I got home is about when my ex asked for a divorce..so this heart bypass has a kind of double whammy for me.. Donnie and Kelli will be leaving tomorrow to spend some time there with Bill , well Donnies dad... Which is a good thing.. Bill isnt very old..I think late 60's or so...His son had a major heart thingie 2 years ago too.. This is just why I worry about Donnie he is so strung out staying so busy...but if he didnt I think he would go stir crazy..lol.. Rae was here today and got me all clean for the weekend... She yelled and so did I at the boys..they tried to get into the bathroom when the floor wasnt done yet and Rae had used bleach and still hadnt done the 2nd mopping.. So the picture you see up top is of my 2 spoiled kids being all pissy at their mother..wouldnt even LOOK at me..cuz I yelled at them lol rotten kids anyway lol...You can see how croweded it is by my monitor for them. I think they are just growing too fast.. Like someone else I know that will remain nameless :-D And about growing I think its time to see if I can GROW and go and find some food wonder how much them cookies will make me GROW lol...... Lois1 says I make her and her daughter hungry when I talk about food..Well next to food hmm I can ONLY think of ONE thing better!!! :-) I aint sayin neither y'all just GUESS..hahaha..
