The Flint"STONE'S"

If you read my blog you will remember just a few days before Christmas Dennis was in the hospital to have some lesions/lumps removed from his chest which the doctor's thought could be cancerous, but thank the Lord he got a good report back saying "No Cancer!!"  While we were still in the States enjoying our after Christmas vacation Dennis received a phone call from his surgeon's office.  Before they did the surgery on his chest they had to do x~rays of his liver because his enzymes were elevated.  On that x~ray it showed that he has gall stones!!  Ugh!!  So, tomorrow morning we have to be at the hospital for him to have his gall bladder removed.  Originally, we thought it was going to be done in Miami because of our insurance here.  After much going back and forth he just got two phone calls this evening saying it was going to be done in the private hospital now instead of the government hospital for which were grateful!  Hopefully it will go good and he'll be able to come home later in the day.

Also, while we were in West Virginia visiting Dennis' family, I was very sick for two days.  I ended up going to a Urgent Care Clinic to find out I had a urinary track infection and the stomach flu.  After we got home and still not feeling well we went to our family doctor.  She put me on two different meds thinking my body was rejecting the one's I was given in WV.  One week later, I was still having pain and at times very sick in my stomach.  The doctor then sent me for an ultrasound and x~ray to find out I have a kidney stone and it's being very stubborn and not passing on it's own.  So, the deal is for Dennis to recover quickly from his gall bladder surgery and then we fly up to Miami to have a procedure done that they don't do here in Cayman.  Not sure exactly what date that will be, but hope very soon.  I'm having a lot of pain and nausea!  In light of that fact, we are changing our names to Fred and Wilma Flint"STONE" :o)

It's no fun getting older!!
