Thursday Thirteen!

Thirteen Things that SUCK!!!
  1. Today is the first day of Spring.. yeah right!! It snowed/flurried all day long!!
  2. it was cold and windy today.
  3. our truck has a nail in the tire!
  4. the tire will probably go flat when we drive it any where.
  5. we need to/have to get 4 new tires for the truck.
  6. our house is acting up.
  7. our toilet, shower, and sinks are all backed up.
  8. we think we need something done to our septic tank! YUCK!!
  9. Zoe pooped in her cage, it was all over her, her blankets and her pillow! Yuckity Yuck Yuck!
  10. I'm still stuffed up and not feeling 100%!
  11. Bryan's grandfather made it through the heart surgery did GREAT... it was yesterday! They replaced 3 valves in his heart and closed him up, happy with the surgery. What they thought was a blood clot is nothing to be concerned about. Thank God!! He woke up this morning on his own and they took him off all the breathing stuff, he did fine.. and is breathing wonderfully on his own!! He has a superbug, one that is totally resistant to all and ANY antibiotics and/or medications. The CDC is there, they are "studying" him. They have no idea how long he will live, if he can beat this or not.
  12. the "superbug" is in his bladder and urine.
  13. if the "superbug" goes to his heart he will die immediately!!!

WTF???????????? makes it through surgery fine... then gets some shit that hardly anyone has ever had, they have no effing clue where it comes from and it is freakin' invincible to everything known to man... GREAT. I swear just when you see the damn silver lining you get struck with effing lightening and die anyway...

although i'm obnoxious, grumpy and sick of bad news, and just feel like saying EFF it! this isn't my life and I can't really feel that way for Bryan's grandfather... I want for him to get better and be able to come home... that is all the man wants is to be able to go home. he has been in the hospital for 9 effing weeks. he thinks he will die there, and by the looks of the shitty ass things, he might... how effing horrible and heartbreaking is that??? dammit.

so since tomorrow is Good Friday I'm really hoping and praying, practically begging that something GOOD will come from it and that Bryan's grandfather will have some miracle that will make him all better and HEALTHY! That the superbug will just die and go away.

Please keep Bryan and his grandfather in your thoughts and prayers. thank you.

(sorry for being so bitchy)

More help...

Bryan's grandfather, Drew, has been in the ICU at our local hospital for about 2 wks, he has been having a lot of medical problems, and they finally got him to go to the hospital. He wasn't a happy camper nor a very cooperative patient while there, but they did their best. He has been filling up with fluid, the first day he was in the hospital they were able to drain 6 liters from his body. He keeps filling up again though. He has congestive heart failure. They told him he had to have open heart surgery or he would die. Laying it all out like that gave him little to no chance of not doing it. He is going to Suffern, NJ today to have some tests done and to prepare him for the surgery. He is older and not in great health so the surgery, like any surgery poses risks for him. Although Bryan is pretty closed mouth about his feelings, I can just tell by his quietness and his sober mood that he is so worried about his grandfather, as we all are. I just worry even more about Bryan because he keeps it all in. That is so hard to do, to carry all the weight of your worries on your own. Please keep Bryan and his grandfather in your thoughts and prayers as he has this surgery, that he will be okay and make it through like a champ. Also that he will start to take better care of himself and take his meds, go to the doctor when he needs to and get some tests done that he has been refusing.

Thank you again, for all your support and thoughts!
