Sad Days
Hi Everyone
It's been really sad and a bit scarry around her lately.
My favorite person (that's Marlyn - not Marla) went to the doctor on Wendsday (Dec27) and her doctor said she needed some tests so they could find out what is going on with her heart. They could either do them over a few days as an out patient or they could admit her to the hospital and do them all at once.
Marlyn decided to got to the hospital and get it all over with at once.
When Marlyn was in her first room on a REGULAR floor she scared everybody so bad that she was quickly sent to "step down ICU". Her heart had slowed down to 27 beats per minuite. It seems that the reason she has been tired and dizzy for the past 6 months is that her heart was not working right. And the silly heart would work fine most of the time and just occasionally not fire correctly. That's why the doctor couldn't find out what was going on.
The doctors said that she needs a Pacemaker which they would put in on Friday (Dec 29). But before they could do the surgery for the pacemaker they had to do another test, and found a blockage in one of her arteries. She is going back on the 12th to have a stent put in.
We did have a nice quite New Years Eve together and had much to celibrate! I am taking good care of her and not making Marlyn toss the ball to much.
Her daughters are taking turns comming up to help. Kelly (#5) is coming in by train tomorrow and staying until the 11 or 12. Then Lisa (#2) and Paula (#1) are comming on the 13. Lisa is a nurse so we reallly are glad she is comming. After that Sherry (#6) is coming with almost daughter Debbie and a really good friend of the family Nate.
Marlyn is doing pretty well, Marla and she went out for lunch today. And they didn't bring me back a doggie bag. Of course I don't think I would have wanted any old salad but I could have had some of Marla's spaghetti.
Another sad thing . . . do you remember me telling you about that old dog Far-Fel? He got really tired and couldn't stand any more and didn't want to eat. He would only sleep and drink water. Marla and Marlyn took him to the vet so that he could rest forever. He did wait for Marlyn to come home from the hospital, I think he was waiting to say goodby to her. Marla said that Far-Fel is waiting for them at the Rainbow Bridge. That's where we doggies go when we die first and have to wait for our people to come.
Marla made a tribute for Far-Fel if you want to see it you need to type in the following address:

I'm taking real good care of everyone here. You would be so proud of me.
Love you
