Well, Well, Well once more (Sorta)

Testing, one, two, three. It has been so long since I visited my own site that I not sure that I remember how to do it. Obviously, I have recovered from my ordeal. To no avail!!!! Still just as puffy as before. I have now embraced this look and call it my own and laughed like a mad woman when the 12 year old doctor suggested yet one more CAT SCAN. I just have a CONDITION. It's mine!!!! I will just count myself in good company with Paul and Timothy, both of which had Condtions. I even refuse to pray about it anymore, because I know that His undeserved kindness has been extended to me. It is, after, all not life-threatening and it reminds me to be humble not vain. How about that "Slum Dog Millionaire"? Just my style.

All doctors are 12 years old

Have you noticed that doctors are getting younger? My newest, Dr. Nadui is at least 12 years old! He was so serious when he asked "Do you want to see your Swelling? (said with an indian accent) I snickered right then and said "No, not really, I see it every morning." Of course, he meant on the Cat scan film. YES, I HAD ANOTHER CAT SCAN (WITH CONTRAST). They have finally decided that they are going to remove that stone in my salivary gland. Slight chance that it may be the cause of the swelling. (I think anything that is as big as a wad of tobacco in the side of you face just might cause some swelling, but then I am just a lay person.)he said he would just grab some of those stray lymph nodes if they were in the way and have them checked too, since I'd be asleep anyway. Well, I for one am ready to get rid of any lumps that don't resemble breasts. It has been a long journey to get to this point. I have been turned every which way but loose, kinda like that monkey in those old Clint Eastwood movies. That monkey has always my hero. I think I'll netflix those pics and gets some laughs during my recovery. Outpatient , of course.

'going forward' medically speaking

Cats have revealed nothing of great value, only a diviated septum. How thrilling. But I did go in to meet "world renowned" Dr. Liberman. Actually I was summoned to his office. He trained my original doctor and after hearing about the "Eye Lady" he decided to have a look see. He readily admitted that whatever it was was extremely "rare". He needed to do some research on this condition that he thought has to do with my over production of luecocytes that could eventually cause my eyes to bulge. (kinda like a pug puppy) Oh whatever, I hope whatever it is is identifyed soon because I think they all are nuts! They just don't seem to know what it is but they all KNOW what it is NOT!!!! Thank to the volumns of money paid by the insurance company for tests, tests, and more test. But the remarkable thing was that before I left his office He gave me back the copay and wrote no charge on the file. I must have been really an interesting case. When was the last time your doctor said "no charge"?

many moons

My how time flies. Many moons have passed since I voiced myself. Long, hot, dry summer. Fall finally. Garrette, Zachary, Rielly, Reagan, Johnson, Nathan and Victor are all great. The two little ones are walking and acting like big boys themselves although only a little over 1 year of age.

I have not been well. Gary and I are concerned over my facial swelling and the doctors have ordered "cat scans". Strange sound to it. All cats must hate these things. I for one will submit out of desperation. I am too vain to continue looking so moon faced. Of course, grandkids don't notice any change or even if I put on a little weight around the middle. I notice. What really is vena cava syndrome? Do not google it. It will scare you to death to read about it. Let's wait to hear the results of the "cat scans".

How many bones does a black mamba have in its body?

Where did this question come from? It is really strange what pops up on the internet. Do you have the correct answer? Oh well, I just didn't know anyone cared.
I did watch a doc on two tigers, Sarge and Lillie. It detailed their life from birth and was a great hour of mindless entertainment. I do just love animals. But Mambas?
I spent a good hour on Shellista's my space page. Very entertaining. Also I visited the big apple and enjoyed Ashley's account of the Witness housing broker in Las Vegas. All in all a very nice time on the internet today.

Shhhhh Mimi resting

Just a quiet lazy Sunday. The best kind. Slept late, laid in bed all morning watching documentaries on prophecy and the Bible. Our meeting at the Kingdom Hall was lively. Garrett answered twice making us very proud.
Zachary is quite the busy boy these days. He is scooting not crawling. We call him Lt. Dan. He is pulling up on everything now and even tried to smack his brother. Siblings, you gotta love em. Like I said, it was a good day.
