An Ol' Broad's Ramblings

Oh Yippee!

So I get a call from the heart doc yesterday afternoon, and they tell me I need to come in because they aren’t happy with the readings from this annoying monitor I’ve been wearing for the last few weeks.  Shoot, I’m not happy cuz I’ve been wearing it, period.  Dadburn sticky things are giving me one heck of a rash, and that the ones for ‘sensitive skin’.

I wandered my ol’ self down to Corinth for a 1:00 appointment, and didn’t even see the doc till 2.  I was the only bloomin’ person there, fer the love of pete.  Anyway, she says she’s not happy.  Well, neither am I.  It’s freakin’ hot out there, and they made me actually put grown up clothes on and drive an hour down there.  :P   Well, I guess she was no where near as unhappy as she was gonna make me in the following few seconds.  “You need a pace-maker.”

Wait a cotton pickin’ minute!  I’m old….but I ain’t THAT dadburn old!  ………………………  Am I?  sigh…  Well, I guess I am.  :?   So, the Mr and I are heading down to Corinth in a little while, spend the night there, get the thing stuck in my chest first thing in the morning, then come home.

Gee, doesn’t that sound like fun?  Well, of course it does.  Uh huh. Naturally, the ol’ laptop is going with me.  Gotta do something to keep myself entertained this evening, right?

    Damn.. Well, maybe NOW you’ll lay off the cigarettes…

    Kate, let us know something ASAP, or have Charlie call, whatever works…

    Prayers and love headed your way…

    You know where I am if you need me. Big hugs your way, my friend!!!

    Praying Kate and good luck to you, hope all goes as well as can be and one way of looking at this is you may have caught this at the perfect time.

    You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers, G’luck!

    Thinking ’bout you….hang tough Ol’ Broad….

    Well, yippie indeed! I’m glad they’ve got pacemakers, glad they know you need one and glad you’re headed in to actually get it. I’d like the ‘Ole Broad to be around when she actually is old. ;-) You’re in my prayers, Kate. And in the hands of The Great Physician.

    Praying for the OR staff as well (that sounds bad, but you know what I mean–they need to do good work tomorrow!)

    Gramps had a pacemaker put in on an emergency basis.  You’ll be surprised how much better you’ll feel.  Plus it gives you an excuse why the metal detector goes off near your shoulder holster.

    Kate.  sigh.  You will be in my prayers.  Will you puleaze take care of yourself!

    Do you have any idea how much trouble you’ll be with a regularly paced ticker? Oy vey.
    Hugs and kisses. And for goodness sakes, don’t give them any trouble tomorrow.

    Wow….thanks y’all!  *blush*

    @Fred….fat chance.  I’m just as hard headed and stubborn as you are!  :P

    @Chris…whut are ya gonna do?  Come down and wait on me hand and foot?  Heh.

    @Ray, Patrick & Pete…shucks.  :D

    @Kay….yes ma’am, that I am.  Best Physician of all!

    @Heather…I know what you are saying.  Hope that woman doesn’t lose a wire or some such.  :?

    @capper….damn darlin’….you made a MAJOR funny!  LMAO

    @Toni….what fun would that be?

    @Cindy….I don’t think the doc would recognize me if I didn’t give her a hard time.  Oddly enough, I make her laugh.  Hmmm…

  12. Chris from Racine. 17 June 2009, 7:38 pm

    I’d be more than happy to!! ;) I’d probably end up killin’ ya, but…

  13. olbroad. 17 June 2009, 7:42 pm

    Kind of defeats the purpose of the whole invasion, wouldn’t it?  :P

  14. Chris from Racine. 17 June 2009, 8:22 pm
