I am so glad that Dr. Burkey was able to be in there for you. I know that it was a relief to you with all the problems that you have been having.  At least you knew that he was very familiar with your heart and the special circumstances with it. We are all still praying for you and wishing you a speedy recovery. You will be home with Maxi in no time at all. Dianna

 Merme, So very glad it all went well for you and to be pain free is such a wonderful thing I am sure... hope you are able to get home on time but staying put will be good if the snow is flying- wish I could send you our weather- in the 50's this week- hard to believe last yr this time we had 2 ft of snow.... shhh could still happen..... So glad Maxi will have a suprise basket too- so very nice of your friends at the hospital- and so glad your Dr could make it- all things happen for reasons- delay just long enough for him to make it and you to do so wonderfully------ so happy for you..... Take care and hope you are home soon- will send you pics of the new little one - he is a doll and so very little....

Thanks Weezie,
Yes we do enjoy our grands- he is number 13 for us- really need to change my name here.... my sons g/f is also expecting- twin boys- they may be born soon he just called and said she is having contractions again- has been in hosptital for awhile now- she is only in her 28th week so we are hoping they can stop it again- though the Dr think babies are fine- just little- 2 lbs apiece right now--- hope she can hold on a little longer too- longer the better I think...
say a little prayer for us if you will - need all we can get for them.
Thanks Nana (soon to be 15)

Ok, ok, so I was laying in bed minding my own business, having a touch of the "blues" because the doc said I can't go home until tomorrow, Wednesday. So then a volunteer came waltzing in with yet another HUGE STACK of emails from all of you!!! You guys are the best!
The dye that is used during angioplasty with stent placement can be tough for my kidneys to process and eliminate, so unfortunately all the numbers that indicate how well I'm unloading the stuff keep rising, so my docs are a wee bit scared. Hopefully, tomorrow we'll see the numbers falling and then everyone will be happy and I'll be dancing in the streets on my way back to the beach.
Big snows, big winds meantime and I am 9 stories up watching the show. Interesting!
Love,
Merme

GREAT NEWS the test result numbers have come down nicely just as they should and I am cleared to go home today -- just as soon as we can arrange a ride. I sat up most of the night by the window overlooking the city toward the west, watching the second night of the storm. What a wondrous looking world the snow makes, doesn't it? So now I'm off for breakfast, and real clothes and shoes and TTFN to all my pals at the hospital. Can't wait to meet up with all of you from my own little borrowed-from-Maxi desk at home! It's seems like there is lots to catch up on that I missed while I've been away! Anybody in a really gabby mood today?!  Merme

Merme, I'm always in a mood, it's time that gets the best of me...  Goooooooooood news that you're coming home. It's always nice to be back in your own sheets and pillows!!! We got alot of snow here, shoveled a bunch of times and then went out at 8:00pm and snowblowed both driveways.... We looked out the windows this morning and looked at each other and said we have to do that all over again tonight, lot's of snow over night, and more called for today... Let us know when you get home, safe and sound!!! Weezie

Merme, I am so happy you get to go home today- hope the snow doesn't make it hard for you to get there ....know you will feel so much better at home.... I will be here most of today I think- one of Carrie's boys has the flu though so they may need me to watch the others if they have to take him to the Dr today--- he was really miserable yesterday- so hoping he feels better today... not good with the new little one but can't be helped --just good ole life happening.

Hi Weezie ~ I made it home okay earlier this morning and am so glad, so glad! to be home again. I posted a new thread "Hi Honey" to say I was back. I even tried phoning Cindy Who Who because I got such a kick out of the message she left me on the answering machine...what a terrific accent that lady has got!! So of course I over did it all day and I'm sore and tired tonight. They warned me to take it slow because both femoral arteries have to heal from the puncture incisions and of course the stent also has to heal, but I was excited to be home and forgot the rules. Yipes. Maxi will be home in a few minutes and I can't wait to see the kid. Edward's girlfriend is picking up dinner on the way so I won't have to cook. There was a pile of mail waiting for my return and I learned that my appeal hearing for the home health services is scheduled for March 8th and I'm glad it is coming up soon. My lawyer is out of town until March 7th, so I'm hoping one of his partners will step in to get up to speed on the case ahead of time. Gosh, it is good to be home. And if anyone sees Miss Bess of The Piedmont, tell her there is Earl Grey in my cup tonight. Merme

 No, no, no!  It's all the rest of ya'll that have an "accent"!  You have a slight accent, Jiffy sounded just fine to me, Bill and Cricket have a little bit of an "accent" thing going on there, and Melcon has a major accent! (You can tell SHE ain't from around here!) Cindy

WHAT !!!! Na ah, no I don't , do I ? I have to say I was enchanted with your southern drawl when we chatted , I was shocked because all this time I hadn't been reading your posts with a Southern accent, but now I do! Duh ! Merme doesn't have a Mainer accent, she has a nice broadcaster voice. Hey Merme ,ever think of doing a radio show??

Merme doesn't have a Mainer accent, she has a nice broadcaster voice. You know, that's very true! That's actually the first thing I thought today when she left the message on my answering machine. It was like "Whoa! Nice voice Merme's got goin' on there!" I was enchanted with your southern drawl when we chatted What a nice way to put it! "Southern Draaaaawl"! Are my posts any better when you read them with a southern accent? (This is cracking me up!) Gee...  I might be able to make a little extra money by selling my phone number to the "curious" on the forum who want to hear me talk now! Cindy (Ellie Mae)

Bill and Cricket have a little bit of an "accent" thing going on there I don't know about Bill, but no one has ever told me I have an accent, eh! (except when I unconsciously pick up on other people's speech patterns - honestly, I'm not mimicking you if we spend more than 5 min chatting! ) I might be able to make a little extra money by selling my phone number to the "curious" on the forum who want to hear me talk now!
Like a 900 number?

I don't about Bill, but no one has ever told me I have an accent, eh! It's not really an "accent" so to speak. Can't quite put my finger on it... I guess ya'll just talk normal, and it's different to me 'cause I have this "drawl" I'm sorta used to hearing all the time! I'd call Merme right now if I knew she wasn't laying down or something. Just so we could listen to each other "talk"!

Okay, I just have to chime in here on the accent thing...(which is totally off the subject here)
I ALWAYS get "accused" of having an accent...but it really hit me hard when my former last name was Bell and when I would tell people they would write BALE.....that's pretty crazy!!!!!!! Guess I do kinda have that DDRRAAAWWWWWWWL........
