| She's going in for heart catheterization today.. with her pckd there is a chance it's gonna cause her kidneys to fail permanently, but she has to have the test..
I'll let you all know how it went later..
I'm whipped, scared, and not much rest over the past couple of days... basically none. just can't sleep.
Thanks all.

it's much better to have an open heart than to be "religious". a man can be so caught up in his religion that it closes his heart and his prayers go unanswered. God is into relationships, not religion.
He will hear your prayers for Glenn and Char. |

| just got back... the results from the heart cath are not good, actually signed a consent for balloon angioplasty to be done at the time of the cath if needed, or possible, and it's not... too much damage, waiting for more tests and consults, trying to stay positive(for both of us).. the doc from the cath/angio said our options will be either open-heart(very questionable survivability) in her current weakened condition, icd defibrillator implant and meds, or just work on breaking up the clot and other issues via bloodthinners etc... but the damage to the heart is severe and extensive.. sudden death could occur with or without surgery or medication at any time.. she's tranq'd out now.. and we will be talking with the doctors about our options over the next few days.. anyway according to the doc, she's not gonna lose the toe or foot to the ischemia and that at least is improving..
one step at a time, one minute at a time, one breath at a time, as long as she's here I'm happy, I just don't want her to suffer... she worries for us after she's gone, and I have to keep reminding her.. she has a strong heart, she survived all of this so far, when others haven't when served what she has been over the past several months... the docs just shake their head and wonder how she's still here..
must be for a reason right?
Thanks Bruce.

| Thanks Lanaki..
That about covers it..
just got out of my first shower in a few days... can't say I'm refreshed, but no longer offensive(smelling).. I'm waiting on Shannon to get home from the pool hall(she won the local 9 ball championship and is sponsored and going to the big show in Minnesota) and visiting her mom... she called a while ago and wanted to be sure I was awake, as she forgot her keys..
I'm awake.
