A VERY LONG DAY

WELL, WE HAVE QUITE A LONG DAY TODAY! WE WENT IN TO SIMPLY GET A SHOT AND IT TURNED OUT THAT BOBBIE'S PLATELETS WERE VERY LOW. WE HAD TO STAY AND LET HER GET AN INFUSION OF PLATELETS. NOT SO SIMPLE. IT SEEMS THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND AN OPENING ON THE SAME DAY FOR PLATELETS, AND WE HAD TO WAIT ALL MORNING AND LATE INTO THE AFTERNOON TO FINALLY GET IN FOR THE PROCEEDURE. MEANTIME, POOR BOBBIE JO IS SITTING IN A WHEELCHAIR AND HER FEET AND LEGS ARE KILLING HER. SO, WE LEFT THE HOUSE THIS MORNING AT 7:00 AM, AND GOT HOME AT JUST PAST 6:00 PM. LUCKILY, THERE IS A RESTING ROOM AT THE HOSPITAL. NOW, MARTIN WENT DOWN TO GET SOME CHICK FILLET FOR BOBBIE FOR LUNCH, AND SHE WAS GLAD TO GET IT. SHE DIDN'T EAT ALL THE WAFFLE FRIES, SO SHE OFFERED THEM TO ME. YUMMY, THERE WAS EVEN A HONEY MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE TO DIP THEM IN. SINCE I WAS STARVING, I TOOK THE FRIES, SETTLED DOWN IN A RECLINER NEXT TO BOBBIE JO, ( WHO BY NOW WAS COMFY AND DOZING ON THE COUCH NEXT TO ME) OPENED THE HONEY MUSTARD, MADE A PERFECT DIP IN THE SAUCE WITH A LARGE AND CRUNCHY WAFFLE FRY- WAS JUST AIMING FOR MY MOUTH WITH RELISH, AND-------- A WORKER IN THE RESTING ROOM CAME UP TO ME WITH A FROWN THAT WOULD UPSET THE POPE AND SAID,, "MA'AM PLEASE! LEAVE THE ROOM OR DISPOSE OF THAT FOOD! YOU ARE UPSETTING THE PATIENTS! THEY CANNOT EAT AS THEY ARE HAVING A HARD TIME WITH THEIR TREATMENTS, AND THE SMELL IS UPSETTING THEM!" WELL, THAT REALLY RUINED MY APPETITE, AND WORSE, AS I WAS WALKING OUT WITH THE TRAY OF FOOD, ALL OF THEM SEEMED TO BE GLARING AT ME AS IF I DID IT ON PURPOSE! SO, BEING THE THOUGHTFUL AND CONSIDERATE PERSON I AM, AS SOON AS I CROSSED THE THRESHOLD, I JUST STUFFED THAT BIG OL FRY IN MY MOUTH! NOT TO BE A SMART ALECK, I DID TOSS THE REST OF THEM AS REQUESTED. NEVER THE LESS, THE DAY DID FINALLY PASS, AND WE ARE HOME NOW, BOBBIE IN BED AND ME ON THE COMPUTER. SHE IS DOING SO WELL, SHE IS WALKING MORE AND MORE AND HAS QUITE A BIT MORE STRENGTH. EACH DAY IS AN IMPROVEMENT. TODAY SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS SORRY THAT WE HAD TO SPEND SO MUCH TIME AT THE HOSPITAL, AND I TOLD HER THAT I DIDN'T MIND, AS THE ALTERNATIVE WAS UNTHINKABLE! SO, UNTIL NEXT TIME, THANKS FOR YOUR LOVE AND PRAYERS. NANASEE

    I am glad to hear that Bobbie Jo is eating good...even if you have to SNEAK in a bite for yourself here and there. Just bring a can of Lysol the next time you want to nibble some fries at the hospital. That way everyone can be happy- clean, disinfected smelling, and mmm mmm good. No doubt the food,you and Bubba's TLC, and prayers are keeping Bobbie Jo strong. Good job See Team! We are rooting for you in our prayers!

    Hi Mama See and Family. I am so very happy for the improvements Bobbi Jo is making. Eating is very importan for to make the necessary recovery. it will help her gain her strength and build those muscles.

    I love the fact that you and your family have such great faith in God. Stay Strong In Your Faith and endure all the things you need to get through. It won't be easy but, IT DEFINATELY WILL BE MORE THAN WORTH IT.
