Lisa's Updates 9/24/07

Hello Loved Ones,

Well sorry I can't write any better new on a Monday am but thought I would give you all a family update.

1st of all our household is in mourning, my youngest male cat, "Little Guy" was hit and killed this Saturday. Have been looking for him and just received a phone call from the Animal Control Officer that she had found him and had taken him away before we could see him. I will have a good cry tonight, not here at work. You all know how I feel about my cats!! They are people too. We had only had him for a year, he was a wild kitten living under our bushes and we coaxed him inside and tamed him. He was beautiful, solid gray with a white chest and white paws. My poor baby!!

Now onto Randy, he is beginning to experience liver pain at night again. Had a very rough night Saturday, finally broke down Sunday and asked for a Percodan from Aunt Martha Sunday. Called her this am and she said he had a better night last night and was still resting. His appt isn't until Oct 17th but told him I would set him 1 up with Dr. K if the pain increased.

Also thought you all might need to know that Uncle Fred is experincing some health problems related to his prostrate again. I know his count or PSA test is off and he is having other problems and that he has a followup with his doctor but am not for sure when. I will let you all know more when I know more. You all know how close mouthed he can be when it comes to his health.

As for my dear darling mother!! She has been really depressed because her car is broke down, the motor is gone & she is without transportation and she is worthless, useless and etc, etc, etc without her car. She will never drive it again because Kenneth is going to pay his money to have the motor replaced (I asked if it wasn't his money that bought it in the first place and isn't it your money together, but I was just being smart mouthed!!). She is refusing to go to the beauty shop because I or Aunt Martha would have to take her!! I washed her hair for her Saturday. Then she told me that she was going insane and loosing her mind because when Danny called her Saturday, she set the phone down to go let Kenneth in and forgot that he was on the phone. I tried to tell her that we all forget things when we get distracted but didn't do any good. I really dread this winter when she can't get out. I really wish Kenneth would relent and let her have a cat, she wants one so badly and they are so good to aleve depression, anxiety lower blood pressue, etc.

Okay well i have properly depressed all of you so guess I will get to work.

Love to you all,
Lisa

Lisa's Update 9/13/07

Hello Loved Ones:

Thought I would give you an update, let's see, where to begin:

Randy came in to see Dr. K, seems to be feeling much better & his swelling has gone down. His incision is almost healed but is fighting the restraints of so many medications. Dr. K agreed to eliminate some, seemed happier about that. He returns to see his onocologist, Dr. Parker on October 17. He will have a ct scan that morning, blood work & office visit that afternoon. He will be able to tell us if the tumors have started to return and how the other cancer is progressing.

Kenneth is feeling better after having his pace maker replaced but still threaten him every once in awhile w/a really strong magnet just to keep him in line.

Mom on the other hand has been really depressed this week. For one thing her car is broken down and it will be next week before the mechanic that Kenneth trusts will be able to work on it and she just feels useless. Also the weather was a bit on the cloudy side so her depression returns w/out the sunshine. Really dread the winter for her when she can't get outside. You all might think of calling her just to chat, it really cheers her up but she also won't remember a lot of the conversation so don't tell her anything that you want her to pass on to others and on the other side of that coin, sometimes she remembers bits & pieces of conversations puts them together ALL WRONG and repeats it to everyone!! God love her and so do I!! She seems even more fragile to me than usual but then I am so big and loud!! Okay enough said on that subject.

Will be sending Amy some pics soon of Trinity, Tanner, Trish & my visit to the zoo this last weekend. Quite interesting so watch the family blog.

Gotta go,

Love to you all,
Lisa
