...not one to usually put stuff like this out there BUT, we need a prayer or two sent our way...you see, Marlene, my wife(aka thepoorgirl) went for her bi-annual checkup for her poly cystic kidney disease and they found a 4mm and a 5mm aneurism in her brain...needless to say, this has thrown us into the panic mode...we have an appointment in Shreveport tomorrow(Tues, 24th) to see a specialist in inserting a platinum coil into the aneurisms to seal them off...this is fairly cutting edge stuff and this Doc is supposed to be one of the best in the country(don't know what he is doing in Shreveport)...so, we're nervous, haven't slept in a week and could certainly use all the positive thoughts and prayers we can get....
...on top of all this, my arthritis has gotten so bad, I can barely walk and had tentatively scheduled surgery to replace my "other" hip on the 22nd of Feb...so, now, who knows.....
thanks, Jack..............
