No, I say, NO!

We've probably watched this episode of Wow Wow Wubbzy 20 times, and I never noticed it. When I did notice it the other morning, it made me want to cry. Why do people do this? Remember that old Coke commercial? Well, rather than teaching the world to sing, I'd like to teach them the difference between plural and possessive!

Sorry for the poor picture quality. It's hard to get a good picture of the TV. Especially when you're trying to get ready for work!

Results

We got the results of the hubby's biopsies. Both the stomach and the esophagus came back negative. After his family doctor told us that, from what he could see, there was no cancer, we were much relieved. But, it's still nice to have definitive results. There is no cancer. What a relief.

Oh yeah

And what I forgot to tell you about the hubby is that, had he not had the heart attack, he probably would have had a stroke. Yep. Life is good. Oh, so good.

In the news

Serb ex-wife gets half of everything — literally
Man uses grinding machine to cut farm tools, machines in half for divorce

BELGRADE, Serbia - A Serb farmer used a grinding machine to cut in half his farm tools and machines to comply with a court ruling that he must share all his property with his ex-wife, local media reported on Thursday.

Branko Zivkov, 76, told Belgrade daily Kurir he had been ready to give his wife Vukadinka her equal share of everything earned during their 45-year marriage, but was furious at being asked to give away half his farming equipment.

Instead, he bought a grinder and cut in two all his tools.

The halved equipment included large items such as cattle scales, a harrow and a sowing machine.

"I still haven't decided how to split the cow," he told the newspaper. "She should just say what she wants — the part with the horns or the part with the tail."

A rocket ride to insanity

Well, it's all over. At least that's what I keep telling myself. Got a phone call from the hubby after his procedure today. They took biopsies of his esophagus and stomach. I thought this was not a good sign because I had been told they would only do biopsies if the tissue concerned them.

At 1:30 he was back in town and seeing his regular doctor. According to the "doctor speak" on the information that was sent back with him, the problem is an ulcer. So, unless the biopsies come back with different information, he's in the clear from the cancer scare.

However, in the conversation after his appointment with his regular doctor, I got quite the roller coaster experience. It went something like this...

"Hey, a week and a half ago I had a heart attack. Oh, and I have an ulcer, so it's not cancer. And, hey, at some point I'll have to have double bypass surgery."

OK. I'm thinking, let me peel myself off the wall in this stairwell where I'm standing to talk to you. Alright, that's done. Now I can try to begin processing all this information.

The long and short of it is that he has to continue to lose weight and they'll stay in touch with the heart specialist to schedule this next "procedure".

My guess, since we've now met ALL our deductibles, and every medical procedure from here until the end of the year is free, we'll be doing this before December 31st.

I think it might be time to crack open a beer and relax.

Thanks for all your good thoughts everyone!

What you find

Just found this wonderful blog that has topics and missions about crocheting. How fun is that? I will check it out in more detail when the munchkin isn't sick and needing me. Hope to talk to you all again later this afternoon! Sorry my posts are so short lately. It's been pretty wild around here.

Vomit

Wish I could say this was a belated April Fool's Day joke. But it's not. Hubby heard from the throat doctor. He has a hole in his esophagus. Monday he'll find out if it's an ulcer or cancer. Anyone going to mind if I excuse myself to go throw up?
