WHAT A MAD DASH TO MONTANA! Mood
Saturday, July 26, 2008

I AM "POOPED" I GUESS IT TAKES A FEW DAYS TO "CALM DOWN".

MOM HAS PHROSIS (SP) OF THE LIVER. THEY CAN'T PUT HER ON A

WAITING LIST THEY FEEL AT 88 SHE'S TOO FRAIL FOR ONE, THEY

ASK HER IF SHE HAD A LIVING WILL. SHE IS BLEEDING INTERNALLY,

THEY GOT IT STOPPED BY TYING SOME CORDS IN HER NECK, SHE

HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE DOWN BUT A

TRANSFUSION HELPED HER WITH MORE RED BLOOD CELLS.  I'M GLAD

I WENT UP NOW RATHER THAN BE THERE WITH THE CRYING AND

FAMILY WANTING THIS OR THAT, THAT WOULD BE TO MUCH STRESS

FOR MY DIVERTICULOUS AND ANXIETY DISORDER. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL

NURSING HOME AND IT WAS NICE TO SEE HOW WELL THEY TREAT

HER.  WHAT A SURPRIZED LOOK ON HER FACE WHEN SHE SAW ME

AND MY SON KEVIN THERE! THAT WAS WORTH ALL THE TRIP!

THEY WILL KEEP GIVING HER TRANFUSIONS AND THAT WILL LAST

UNTIL THE BLEEDING STARTS AGAIN. I JUST DON'T WANT HER IN

PAIN.  SANDI IN UT.

    Thank you for caring! Sandi Kopp
    Across the miles we email each day
    At bedtime, I think of you when I pray
    We may have never hugged really tight
    If you were here I'd hug you with all my might

    To me you are the sweetest friend
    I'm here, and you can always depend
    Holidays, Birthdays, and special days
    I look forward to your email in many ways


    For all my friends who live nearby
    Our love for one another we can't deny
    Friendships are strong, filled with love
    With all God's blessings from above

    I am thankful that we met
    You, I will never forget
    Our friendship endures
    Sometimes we share our tears

    For all good times and bad
    I am so very glad
    That you are here
    And ever so near.

    God Bless All My Friends!
