CONGRATS ! to my brother Sonny ..who is now a reserve Police Officer in Grant . Way to Go Brother of Mine !  

My Husband

For the last 3 years my husband has been very ill . He has Polycythemia Vera Ruba .This is a red blood cell illness that causes the red blood cells not to die ,they live and continue to produce other red blood cells ,his blood then gets so thick it will not travel through his veins .

When he first found he had it , his blood was almost like busquit dough .so thick if he cut himself ,he did not bleed at all . His life span expected at the time was told to him as 'almost none " .

In the next few years they treated him constantly ,the first 9 weeks drawing out pint after pint of blood to make it thinner  and he has made it so far ,ups and downs very common around here ,hospitals ,treatments and the cancer clinic ,doctors ,all have been very good to us though and he has outlived by far the first  expentancy of his remaining life span .

This last March ,my husband was shot . He stayed in Intensive care for a long time and since then has had several surgeries and other issues to have to deal with . This was a total shock to us and has delt another blow to his illness .

Now it seems his white blood cells have began to multiply in force .Lukemia is a side effect of Polycythemia Vera Ruba and this could be the start of that .

We ask all to pray for us ,espically my husband . God works miracles ,we know that well in our lives as one has already happened ,we only ask for strength and for our faith to keep us going .

We want to thank all of our customers and friends that have sent either online or in the mail their cards  and letters of encouragement, their thoughts and most of all their prayers .All of you mean alot to us and it helps us both gon on one more day ...which is all we can ask for ..

May God Bless you all ....

 

THIS COULD ONLY HAPPEN TO ME ........

It could only happen to me ...or at least I think so .

This last week has been very hetic .My husband is very ill and had to go to the hospital on Friday . Surgery was scheduled very early to put wire mesh in his stomach where he has a large hernia and they said he would spend the night and all would be simple .I was to wait until he got out of recovery and ....I had 2 puppies to deliver on Friday afternoon to Tuscaloosa Alabama .One to a nurse that lives there and another to a couple that lives in Mississippi that was driving to meet me there .Then I would have driven back to the hospital before going home .

During a EKG the doctors saw something they did not like and instead of surgery they sent my husband to the Heart Center ,however it took hours for us to find outsurgery was cancelled and to be rescheduled ...Now that put me running late and was fine however because I called about until I got someone to go to the house ,pick up Sammy ,Caesar and  the two puppies ,take them to the vet ,get me a change of clothes and bring them to me at the heart center .

By that time I was already an hour behind schedule but all was going okay or so  thought .

I was about half way from Huntsville to Tuscaloosa when I stopped to gas up ,get a coke and let the dogs out to relieve themselves . I picked up the two puppies and put them on the ground ,then noticed ..ONE WAS THE WRONG PUPPY ! ! !
Oh Geez ! So I called the people from Mississippi and explained and said "I am going back to the house ,pick up the correct puppy ,take it to the vet and I will bring it all the way to Mississippi to you "

I also told them how sorry I was and how it happened .They were more than upset and had a right to be ,it was my fault no two ways about it .

So ,I head back to the house ,get the right puppy ,go to the vet where Dr Williams had the laugh of his life about it .Got back  into the Explorer ,called my mother (I was tired by then ) told her to be ready in a few minutes as I had to drive to Jackson Mississippi and could need her and she needed to go with me ..She said okay and then I headed out ...

I called Robert ,he said the testing was almost over and he would call when he was finished and let me know the results .

I pick  up Mom ,stop and gas up again as by that time I had went over 200 miles and ehaded out ..

I got to Tuscaloosa and pulled into a pilot station to meet the first woman and got out of the suv ,was getting the paperwork together ,slipped the keysinto my pocket and they FELL ON THE GROUND ! ..Now I know my clothes and I KNEW these travel pants I wear have 2 pockets on the front and I am frantically patting and looking for the pockets and finally found them ...in the back ...

I HAD MY PANTS ON BACKWARDS !!

I had left the Heart center ,changed clothes ,went to the vet ,got out at 2 stores ,got out at moms ,went to another store and all the while I was wearing clothes on backwards ,

I could do nothing but meet and greet the first customer in that manner because she was there ...as soon as she left however I ran into the Pilot Restrooms and turned my clothes on the right way ...

Now ,I drove to Jackson and back ,got home at 4  am ..a total of over 600 miles that day and the first thing I saw when I got home was my shirt was inside out ..

Wellllllll....that was my day ! How was yours ?

By the way ,all Roberts test on his heart turned out fine ..The only good thing that I saw all day !

pray for us and God Bless !
