A friend from church named Bruce is facing deep brain stimulation surgery this morning to deal with his Parkinson's disease. It sounds scary to me, because the patient is conscious while the doctor has his or her hands inside the cranium trying to find the source of tremors. Bruce was supposed to have had this more than a year ago, but he had his hair cut short without telling the doctor and that wasn't a good thing because it apparently opens the scalp up to infection. (Some other medication that he had to take then postponed things further.) Anyway, prayers and vibes for Bruce would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for being E&T, but I've been spending my days with my mom who's in the hospital. After suffering with stomach cramps all weekend, we brought her to the ER on Tuesday and found she was having a gall bladder attack. What seemed to be a simple plan of removing the gall bladder has turned into a complex set of issues, tests and procedures. So I'm asking for some HHW vibes to help my mom deal with it all. Thanks!
Just back from the vet and a $500.00 bill for my cat, Annie.Ultrasound, blood work, etc.She has 4 large cysts in her liver.No way to know if they're malignant without opening her up for a biopsy...and I'm not going to put her through that.Whatever they found, they couldn't do anything about it anyway.Fingers crossed.
BK - How do you feel about the rule about perfect rhymes?

Good morning, all! I slept quite well, but I was really exhausted. I'm going to need more vibes from you all if we're going to finish the operation. Kinko's turned out to be great, so that was one ordeal out of our way. Hopefuly, by last night all the orchestra parts have been copied, so today will consist mostly of taping and (hopefully) printng the full scores.

Instead of making and eating my oatmeal I decided to go to PAM and get coffee and a Bunny Pot of yogurt, sliced almonds and julienne slices of fruit and cranberries. They open at 7am. They are usually quite on top of things but today perhaps Larry's ghost was visiting because things were not moving along. I was the first customer and it was clear they were not ready for anyone. I had my coffee and yogurt and was waiting patiently while my clerk was apologizing (PAM has GREAT customer service). Finally the manager came around and she said, "it's on the house, thanks for your business" Free breakfast! Hooray. I'll go back again.Spaking of my ghost, there's still no sign of that missing glass!

Just had a wonderful hour-long telephonic conversation with Mr. Harvey Schmidt.
