Guys... I need prayer for my leg. I don't wanna go to California, where they put these stents in... but I have no pulse in my right leg, again. :(

Please do miracles... pray for me, k?

My foot has been freezing and I've been trying to ignore it. Neither Bill nor I can find a pulse. it's fine in the left leg, but non existent in the right.

I may have to go in, tonight. I probably should... either that, or pretend it doesn't exist. :laugh:

Oh, crud. Not what I need. I have stuff to do! :)

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, or go back to Stanford and just get it fixed and get back here!

Bye bye you guys.

Three doctors are conferring on what to do with the broken girl.

Dr. Hill is going to call Dr. Liang in California. I already spoke to him. He wants a CT immediately, followed by me, asap.

OHSU wouldn't touch this stent, earlier, when it had to be put in, so I don't imagine they will want to fix it, now.

Dr. Song is in surgery today and can't be involved.

I'm going to OHSU to get the CT and then most probably, fly onto Stanford.

I am so tired of this. Sigh. Tears...

Packing my bags. Do you think I can be home in time for the show this weekend?

The silver sides flashed and broke the blackness of the water
He rolled and flipped and wrinkled my hopes
He was loosed and swam away
I smiled, for in his freedom, is the chance at tomorrow
A new dream, a new fight, a new challenge

Tattered and fierce are those that fight
Even in the onslaught of illness

God is with you in that fish and in those legs
Waiting, working...
Knowing you need more time on the water and in our lives Jen


That's my prayer

Got a three ring circus of doctor's going.
My main thoracic surgeon is in surgery.
Dr. Hill is my GP, and he cannot find a pulse w/dopler.
He says it is not an emergency as far as losing my limb, but there is a problem, but he's not familiar enough with stuff, so he is giving it to Dr. Liang, who is at Stanford.

Sheesh. I don't know what is going on.

Dr. Song is the one responsible, but his assistant can't get me in any sooner than Thursday without an order, and he's n ot to be bothered, in this surgery.

So...I'm on wait. Don't know if I'm going to calif or to OHSU for a CT. Don't know when.

There is something wrong, though. It's burning where my stent is. That's not good, but at least I made the first step.

I may just drive into Portland and wait.

Oops. What is "Tank you"?

This is frustrating. No one has called. I guess I'm not going in today unless I go to ER.
My leg really hurts, now.

doodah doodah... :)

Can't catch a fish to save my life,
Oh, da doo dah day.

Funny. I got my CT done and it was a breeze, this time. Usually my veins break and it can take a dozen nurses to thread my veins for the IV. But, it went RIGHT in! YAY!

And the CT was fine!

But, then, fear raced through me. Not really fear, but I just wanted NOTHING but to go home. AND I DID!

I just walked out of there, got in my car, started it up, and left!!!

I shoulda probably called Dr. Song who ordered it and said that I was in town. But, my furry wonder dog was waiting for me! I had to hug Kilchis!

So... here I am, scared of the phone's ring. Not knowing whether to get ready for the show and go, tomorrow to set up, or to prepare for a trip to CA. My CT CD was sent to Stanford. At least I stayed long enough to go to the film lab and sign a release for that to go to DR. Liang at Stanford. I did that! I did!

I guess what I'll do is proceed like I'm going to the show. Pack my wheelchair so that I can wheel around at Fisherman's... and just be prepared to have to leave. AT least I'll be close to the airport! :)

I'm a little scared, but with your prayers, I will be strong.

I was reading this, today. (http://www.ifish.net/Jan05.html) I've come a long ways, baby! If you scroll down to the 21st, you can see the history of why this happened originally, and why it may be failing. Blood clot? Scar tissue? Who knows?

Regardless.... I don't know... regardless what, Jen?

I don't know! Regardless, ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THAT COLD OTHER ONE! LOL


And... thank you Lord for all that you have done for me. I really lead a blessed life and I have YOU to thank for it. All of you, and my Dear Heavenly Father who lets me sit in His lap when I am afraid.
