We know she needs surgery, she was just hoping to put it off until she doesn't need it. Only question now is when. They were talking naso-gastric tube to reduce the pain, but she's done that once and ain't interested. Would rather skip that step and get it fixed instead of ignoring it.Oh dang!! I hope she doesn't need surgery. But ... If she does, then I hope it goes well and she recovers quickly. Y'all are in my prayers.
@retrieverman dude I feel ya. I love a plain old simple cup of cowboy-brewed Folgers. Reminds me of my grandpa.And good luck at Wal-Mart. Just driving thru the parking lot there gives me hives and causes me to hyperventilate.
When Lipton's was all there was, I would drink it. When I found Earl Grey I fell in love. It gets milk and sugar too, but not nearly as much. Got introduced to Southern iced tea sometime after (or maybe at) basic training, fell in love with that, too. Peach tea, Blackberry or Raspberry tea, I'll make and drink it by the gallon. Iced or hot. And heavily sugared.... Earl Grey makes s good iced tea, too. Though I'm the only one in my family that will drink it. 
This day is already off on the wrong foot. Mr Coffee evidently died in his sleep sometime since yesterday morning, and I’m having to drink Kuerig coffee that my wife buys.
The old boy had a good run and served us well, and I sure will miss him. However, as much as I hate WMart (there’s nowhere else to buy such stuff around here), there will be another Mr Coffee in my house by this afternoon.
Now I need to cut my hair, and if my clippers crap out on me too, I just might lose what mind I have left.
I haven’t talked to Okbassin this morning, but they were at 90% success rate as of yesterday evening.
Surgeon arrived about 5pm, convinced us we didn't want surgery after all. Said someone her size would be unlikely to have good outcome, and bad outcome could see her institutionalized permanently. Said I wouldn't be able to care for her myself. Trying suppositories & enemas to get things starting to pass through, and using the naso-gastric tube to remove stomach contents and reduce pressures in there. Will do another CT scan tomorrow morning to make sure it's working. 3 to 5 days in hospital.Could be worse. I left my wife at the hospital last night after an ER visit. Had been nauseated, which isn't really unusual for her, but also vomiting for over 26 hours by the time I took her in yesterday evening. They're talking surgery, possibly, for "partially obstructed small intestine." They were getting the nausea & vomiting under control, pain not so much. Have to be there at 11am, to talk to the surgeon, I guess. Neither of us is have gotten much sleep in the past 72 hours or so. And I'm the Mr. Coffee here.
You know, that was actually about 1am this morning. Do better!
You got it, my friend. Doctors don't know it all -- and nobody in that ER 3 years ago thought I'd walk again. If it hadn't been for you guys going to bat for me, I'd probably still be in a hallway at OU ... Hope things go well and she doesn't need surgery after all. You guys will stay in my prayers.
