Bless you all!!  I am home but I have to go Monday for blood work so they can

try to type my blood.AGAIN!! Apparently, the blood I was given for my brain

surgery in Oct 05 caused my to have a mess of antibodies in my blood. I  am B Rh

Positive, but the closest match was O so it came in the day the Dr. discharged

me because they told him they couldn't find a match. They fed me breakfast,and I

ate. I had been on clear liquids since last Thursday. Then the blood came, but I

had already eaten.So they transfused me with 2 units before I left, and were to

keep the other 2 units for my surgery end of week. Now that has disappeared,even

tho it was earmarked for me! I was so weak I could hardly make it into my house.

Trust me friends, I well NOT go into the hospital for surgery unless my blood is

there and ready!What a waste of money, not to mention the starving and nervous

state that puts you in.

I thank you all for your prayers and well wishes and I thank Lori for keeping

you updated. On a happy note, I got a brand new grand(great)baby on the

9th.Blake Allen Michael Stephens.7 lbs 15 oz.AND my daughter Annette is here

from Montana so I will feel better about  the coming surgery as she is a retired

combat field medic with 15 yrs experience. Life goes on, even as we struggle.

Hugs to you all. Norma

Congrats! God Bless.

Hey Mrio, I have that memory loss thing also, but I tell folks it's oldtimers

syndrome. The thing that bothers me most is the random phantom smells...I smell

smoke, bacon, electrical,all kinds of stuff and nothings there!!Drives me nuts

when I wake at nite thinking I smell wood smoke. I join you in wishing everyone

a beautiful pain free day! God Bless...Nj
