Hmmm

So, faced with sky high cholesterol, I was wondering. If you can get face lifts, breast lifts stomach tucks and well, you can redo the whole outside of your bod if ou have enough money, is there anywhere I can go to get a plasma lift?

I assume that since cholesterol is a build up int he actual veins, switching around my blood wouldn't do me a bit of good, but wouldn't it be neat if I could? M sister used to be on dialysis and they took out all her blood, cleaned it and put it back in three times a week. Too bad they couldn't fix my problems this easy!

This is the He is Fine Post

He just got home. he was under general anesthetic, but he was under for about five hours, thats four hours longer then they had planned. I am not sure why yet becuase my MIL had to get off the phone and tend to him.

He is very nauseated and very, very sore.

The boys drew Get Well Pictures for their Papa and I slipped them in their mail box, so hopefully he got a smile out of it.

Worry

I know that I often worry about silly things, things that make no sense. But today I am worried about my father in law. This summer he was helping a friend out and was up on a make shift scaffolding. It was stupid of him to be up there, but FIL has no idea how to NOT help when someone is in need.

He fell off the scaffolding, which can have major complications for someone in their late sixties, especially as FIL is on blood thinners becuase he has had a few strokes and is blind (from a stroke) in one eye.

When he fell, aside from massive bruising, you bruise really easily when on blood thinners, he hurt his shoulder. He was all tough and manly for about a month and then went to the doctors. He tore his rotary cuff. I think. Actually I am not sure what it was but he tore something that needs surgery to fix it.

At seven this morning he went into the hospital for his surgery. It is supposed to be routine, three small incisions, out before night fall, but with his heart problems, multiple strokes and thin blood, I can't help but worry about him. I wish I had thought to ask if he was going to be going under general anesthetic or local.

I will obviously update with a he is fine post when my worries amount to nil, but until then I will be sitting, and worrying about him.
