Mom's done with the bone marrow biopsy. It only took 9 minutes from the time the Dr. cleaned the area to the bandaid at the end. It was fast!! It's not the nicest of procedures to watch.. but mom did a great job and asked funny questions throughout.. like.. how come I don't hear any power tools or hammers.. what is my bone soft? no hand drills? Then she told the doctor this was a big research controversy.. she was making them smile for sure! She didn't feel a thing and the Doctor said she's doing excellent!
Now she's eating and watching Guy's Big Bite. She said the food tastes so good.. right now it's beef stew over buttered egg noodles... (Sorry Gerry) and some of her favorite.. the mashed potatoes with gravy and cream of mushroom soup. She's also decided that her first meal out of the hospital will probably be shrimp scampi!
She had a shower and a hair-do.. if that's what you can call it when I do her hair! She always feels better after a nice hot shower.. don't we all!!
Thank you for the movie sugestions.. it seems some of you have little faith in my movie picking abilities! :) I thought maybe the "Land Before Time" sounded good.. I wish mom liked Harry Potter!
did everyone hear that Jimmy Johnson (football) is going to be on Survivor this year? and it is moved to wednesdays.... we thought that was some pretty fun news..
k .. that's all for now.. going to rest and watch food tv... it's sad when you've been watching so much of one channel that you're seeing re-runs within 12 hours... oh well! will chat later.
love.
You are something else, Rita!!!!
ReplyDeletemom wanted me to add that she's still eating her lunch at 3:30 and anxiously waiting for her dinner at 5:30.. the highlight of her day!!

Glad she still has a good appetite. I think the handgrenade is channeling My appetite to her. I haven't been hungry at all this past couple of weeks. Well I'm sure it's serving her better than it was serving me.
