Hail & Merry Meet this Fabulous Thursday Morning!

GOOD MORNING, WORLD!!!!

It has been so long since I logged into WordPress I almost forgot my own password. That’s bad, very bad! You don’t realize how you take things for granted until you can’t do them or have them. I went back and read the post were Annie told you I had went to the hospital. I originally went because I was suppose to have fluid drawed off all my joints. Then I had a reaction and they sent me over to the main hospital. It was suppose to be simple, draw the fluid off, inject some antibiotics and I believe steroids into the joints. Nothing is ever simple with me, anybody who knows me, knows that. I am allergic to some antibiotics and have never tolerated steroids very well. So what the reaction was from, who knows.

While at the main hospital, the pain in my left side returned. At first, it was dismissed as a reaction from the allergy I had. Except the pain kept getting worse and worse. I was finally doubled up in the bed, screaming from pain when they took me serious. They brought up the x-ray machine and I could hardly straighten out for the x-ray. The x-ray showed my colon being in a horrible shape. They brought in a doctor that knew something about colons. He looked at the x-ray and told me I needed surgery to determine just exactly what had happen or was going on. So off to surgery, we go.

There is a word for what happened to me but I can’t spell it. And I am sure you are like me, you would go “What?” In simple terms, I had ate a something with a hard husk on it. It didn’t digest the way it was suppose too. It hid itself in my colon. There is formed a pulp. The pulp grew and grew till finally it burst. They had to remove some of my colon and suck out all the icky stuff left from the blow out. Meantime, I had lost a lot of blood during the surgery. The doctor wanted to wait and see if my body could reproduce the blood it had lost by itself. I think the next day after surgery, the doctor decided that my body wasn’t producing the blood fast enough. I needed a blood transfusion. My hubby said no, he didn’t want me having any blood from the bank. He would donate and everyone else line up behind him, even my good friends I work with every day. They forgot to listen to my blood type. I could only take my hubby’s blood (which he already knew, he had done it before), my son’s and a man’s from  work. I know the Red Cross had to be very happy that day with all the blood they got, lol!

This is my third day since I was released from the hospital. After the transfusions, I picked right up. But I still have the fluid that crystalizes on my joints, maybe? Right now, all my joints are normal. I don’t remember if anyone bothered to ask them, if my colon could have caused that problem or not. I don’t remember much. My mind is starting to clear now, FINALLY!

Annie and the others stopped publishing our daily posts because there was way too much for them to do. First, they were at the hospital for at least two or three days straight. Then they had the animals to tend to at the refuge. They rented me a wheelchair, yeah you heard right. They didn’t want me walking that far. So they wheeled me to the animals. They did a super fantastic job taking care of them.

I know Annie should have told you what was going on but we are like sisters. We grew up together and she was extremely upset. But you know now, why we were off the net. I have always been told I was the driving force of this operation and I always denied it. I guess apparently I am. I know I am loved and have the best bunch of friends anyone could want.

I am sorry for any inconvenience our absence has caused. Annie mentioned yesterday about some rude comments in the back. She left them for me to read. I can assure you they have been dealt with. I turned them over to WordPress. They removed them from the entire site. They no longer had any access to any WordPress blog. Then Annie wanted to know if it would be alright for her to take care of them in her own special way. She has worked so hard, I couldn’t deny her, now could I? It is great to be back. I know that much. Hell, it’s great to be out of the hospital. Go for something simple and nearly die. Forget that!

For everyone that wished us well and had wonderful words of encouragement for us, THANK YOU! We know we have the best bunch of internet friends you could ask for. We appreciate your patience and your understanding. Most of all, we appreciate your love. We love you.

Love & Blessings to all,

Lady A
