Saturday afternoon

VISITORS WELCOME ON SUNDAY

For the first day since I've been here, I should have a quiet day wiht no therapy or procedures, etc. so feel free to come by and catch up.

I am scheduled to be released on Tuesday morning in time to make a 12:00 appt at IU to discuss possibilities of a liver transplant. Melodee will take me unless I need a different vehicle, and if I do, Dr. Adrian will arrange for it.

On Monday, I will do some physical therapy and then a periocentisis(sp?) to do another drain on my fluid and squeeze me out before I go home. I started to take on fluid again a couple of days ago and my legs are stretched to max plus red. My abdomen is HUGE again so it seems like within 2 weeks I refill again and am so big I can only waddle. And the fluid presses my organs all together so it makes it hard to breathe. And I've lost soooooooo much strength.

I love you all. Your strength and God's love gives me the ability to get through everyday.

Lenette-
Happy rainy 4th but thankful we are in the USA and loving our freedom and wonderful nation. Fireworks cancelled at Minn. so I'm going to watch America's celebration on TV.
So glad you and Tommy got to visit, they are all still really babies to us forever!!!! Since some of your company is now gone and you have a quiet day tomorrow, I will have a chance to see you-I'll call before I come!! Rode the trail today just before the rains. Went to Gaston for my fried egg BLT on wheat sandwich -- guess what, Mill Street was closed. Turned around and headed back to the Sunshine Cafe. 18 miles, 2 1/2hr finally having breakfast!!!! I had to take a nap this afternoon!!!! Old age!!!
sounds like BMH is taking good care of you to get you ready for your trip to Indy. Do you come back to BMH to continue your rehab?
Good night dear friend and keep remembering that lots of prayers are on a direct course to the Main Man in your behalf!!!XOXOOX RONI
