Here we go again...


Kari just told me that Ted was looking at her incision/scar that had not healed properly from the last surgery, and, believe it or not, the plastic tubing was visible, outside her scalp. UNBELIEVABLE! The scar tissue, that had been cut through SO MANY TIMES, hadn't healed, and the 'plumbing' broke through. Now, it's gotta ALL be replaced, because the system has been compromised. The valve, fittings, and all the tubes, including those to her abdomen, that just got put in place, have to be redone. The poor girl was just getting her life back, starting to teach, again, just this week. Is hard for me to write/think/believe. I thought we were done with this for awhile, but, here we go again. Excuse me while I pull my hair out...

Gawd.....pluezze. What is with these doctors, anyway, Stevo? I cannot believe they botched the surgery, especially after what Kari went through post-surgical with all the pain! This is just too, too much. This is malpractice time.

That didn't take you long. It shouldn't be too bad this time. The thing that bugs me is, I just got my life back. Going to work, doing things around the house ect. and now here we go again.
Trust me Lady J I will be demanding that my regular surgon Dr. Winston(not the one who performed the last surgery as Dr. Winston was out of town) will be doing the entire surgery himself this time. I go in on Friday for a pre-op appt. and I all ready have a list of questions and things that they NEED to be aware of so this WILL NOT happen again.
Thanks for all your support and thoughts though.

As I said to Stevo before when meds were botched and Kari had an allergic reaction, I'd make damn sure and certain nothing was given without that bracelet being checked first! Nurses should carry a hand held computer that they use to scan the patient's bracelet before anything is done. As a nurse, this is just appalling what you all have gone through with this hospital, doctors and staff. I would have had all heads of departments answering why.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
