Well, I have to do a few more things and then I'm off to bed. I have to be at the hospital around 8:45 AM. At some point tomorrow they will do a right heart cath and leave the line in as I have to be on a certain IV medicine (very low dosage) to qualify for the VAD. Because of that I'll actually be ...

I'm with bufetphlock on this one....Vicki's ticket may be taken care of, but there are still travel expenses (gas), parking, and hotel fees that she will need to pay. Let's pull together for Vickster and send her to the hospital with one less thing to worry about!!! I, personally, didn't realize th...

TICKET DONATION MADE FOR VICKSTER - ANYONE UP TO THE CHALLENGE?? Thank you so very much, however an angel in our group wanted to pay for my ticket and he/she did. I am so grateful and too excited.........I'm not sure if they want their name posted or not, but if the do, they can do that...............

Can't wait to meet you and so many others either. I'm sure you'll be able to recognize me - just look for the wired bionic woman with the pouch around her waist!

Need some help for my hubby. Our computer fried. He has new laptop he wants to put yellow stars or red hearts on as screen saver. I believe we have been through this before; we stink at backing up files. Could somebody please post a pic with the link or pm me so he can download it? Thanks. It helps...

Well, since my daugher - who will be one of the ones trained to stay with me is going to the concert and I'm sure Piratenurse is too......I may just have to see if I can somehow swing a ticket when I get my daughter's and her husbands on Monday morning.......Someone is supposed to be with me at all ...

Hey, can anyone who purchased pre-sale tickets tell me how much the additional fees were? I'm going Monday morning (they are darn lucky I don't get admitted to the hospital until Tuesday) to buy my daughter and her husbands tickets and she needs to give me the money today. I thought it was like $14....

Another hit recipe! My older daughter made the Blood Mary Tequila Cherry Tomatoes and said she could have eaten the entire recipe herself......said it was fabulous! She didn't have tequila so she used vodka........now me.....I ALWAYS have tequila!

Vickster...this I know. God never gives you more than you can handle and girl, you have shown you can handle a lot. Angels are everywhere. As a medical professional, I can attest that prayer and positive thinking can improve an outcome much, much more than any researcher will ever attest to. I have...

Thanks everyone for all the good wishes! I feel much better this morning than I did yesterday - it was just so overwhelming! Last night I went to the grocery store and as I was getting on the electric cart there was a penny. I have heard so many stories about pennies from Heaven. I instantly felt a ...

Wow. That was quick, Vick. I'm hoping it all comes together for you. Love you to the moon and back. Thanks so much! I'm on the phone with the nurse now surgery is scheduled for Thursday, Febraury 25th with me probably going into the hospital on Monday, the 22nd......I've got to get my ass in gear f...

Well, so much for waiting until May. I just got a call from UTSW and they leanred late yesterday that there are only 16 more slots open for the heartware device.....I can take a chance and still wait until May, however, if they don't continue the trial, then they would implant the Heart Mate II, and...

Trust me, I won't. I gave them my word that if I start feeling any differently or if my labs indicate I'm getting worse, I will have the device implanted at their beck and call.

Continuing......since I am not the normal patient, there is a chance I may have to have a right side device implanted too as I have problems on both sides of my heart. In 95% of the cases, the left VAD will compensate and have enough power to make the right side work. They can tell this during suger...

Thought I'd give everyone a quick update on my heart status. ETP already told you I officially got listed on the transplant list last Friday. My stress tests were so bad that they had me meet with the VAD (ventricular assist device) doctor yesterday....This is a device that is attached to the left v...

I'll be making the "Tailgate Dip" for a Superbowl party we're having at work. I can't wait!! :D Let us know how everyone liked it. :-) I made it last night and will be serving it today. I think it's a touchdown! There are so many different textures in there! As a sidenote, I had no idea w...

Phantastic news, Vicki! The donkey must be on the wagon, my cookbook came yesterday. So many yummy recipes, I don't know where to start. Have to do some appetizers for my Super Bowl party. How 'bout dem Saints! Well, the book has plenty of yummy appetizers and some of my favorites! As for the Saint...
