Good vibes needed
I'm sending my hugs and prayers to you and your parents and the rest of your
family KJ. Good luck and I hope the procedure goes well for your Mom. -- Mika http://community.webshots.com/user/mikasdrms "KJ" wrote in message news:g7xDf.743342$_o.638052@attbi_s71... I hope I haven't gone to the well too often. But here goes. My mother could use all the positive, thoughts, prayers, energies and what have you for her surgery scheduled for tomorrow. I mentioned just after Christmas that I was going to Texas to help out my parents after Dad had a pacemaker and a second surgery for fluid buildup in his heart sac. My mother then discovered she has a fractured vertebra (remember to take your calcium ladies!). The surgery is called a kyphoplasty. To paint a simple picture; they will insert a small tube into the space where the vertebra has collapsed, blow up a balloon to raise it, then fill the space with "cement". Keep your fingers crossed this will alleviate the pain that has incapacitated her for the past month or so. You all seem to work miracles! If any of you have had this or know someone for whom it hasn't worked.....I don't want to know!!! :-) Thanks for your time and thoughts. It is very truly appreciated! Love you all, KJ |

Prayers for your mom coming from Arkansas. Any body bitches about you
asking for emotional support during such a trying time will be promptly leaped upon and given a good dressin' down. I doubt anyone would do that tho - never be afraid to ask ! -- http://community.webshots.com/user/snigdibbly SNIGDIBBLY ~e~ " / \ http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/snigdibbly. http://www.ebaystores.com/snigdibbly...ox&refid=store "KJ" wrote in message news:g7xDf.743342$_o.638052@attbi_s71...

Not a problem Kathyl,
You have so much to deal with right now! I hope that all is going well for your mom and dad. I found plenty to keep me busy while we were in Coralville. I went to Heritage Quilts and the bakery in Main Amana. Found too many things I liked whlie there :-). I also found a bead store not too far from our hotel, and a Salvation Army store, also near the hotel. I managed to buy two..yes two wedding gowns for $1.00 each from S.A. They were brand new with the original price tags still on them! ($670, and $675 each) My cq students and I will have lots of fun cutting them up for projects. We ate at a place called Huhots near the Coralville mall. If you like Asian food, I highly recomend it! You make up your own meal, buffet style, and it's cooked for you, in front of you. Other than having to drive home in the snow storm on Friday our trip was great. I hope that we'll go back more often. Seems like there's lots to do in the area. Take care, Lisa "KJ" wrote in message news:nNxDf.764758$xm3.65347@attbi_s21... Thanks Lisa....sorry I missed your trip to IC. Maybe next time. KJ |

Two wedding gowns?? What a great deal for crazy quilters! Wow!
I really like HuHot. DD would eat there several times a week if her budget allowed...and her hips! My mom had surgery this afternoon and all I've heard so far is that she's in quite a bit of pain. I'm not going to call tonight since she's been given some pain meds. Hope it puts her to sleep and she wakes up tomorrow morning hurting a lot less. I'm a bit worried about it though. My dad sounded rather shaky tonight when I talked to him. My brother's friend has stayed with them all day, took my dad home, then went back out to the hospital to sit with Mom. Isn't that just a great friend? I hope I can put together some sort of hug quilt for him. Let me know next time you hit town Lisa. Kathyl "Lisa Caryl" wrote in message ...
