Dear TruGreen ChemLawn (nice name, btw - “hey kids go roll in the grass that the ChemLawn people took care of!”)
Two years ago you offered to get rid of the grubs in our lawn - it was a nice gesture. Well, we paid you… so it wasn’...

Just a few Chef notes…
A couple weeks ago I reported that I had gotten rid of SWREG in favor of E-Junkie with PayPal and Google Checkout. Since then I’ve processed a couple of orders successfully so it’s good to know I didn’t brea...

That’s the number of platelets floating around Ana’s body today. A marked improvement over her previous dismal countings of 7,000 and 10,000.
So that was the real, first post-spleen-removal test they’ve gotten counts from her on. Defin...

Just a quick update for everyone - Ana is fine this morning, no more of the shoulder pain from last night.
Posted by The Johnson Blog 4 months ago.
It’s 2am and we just got back home. The surgeon that removed Ana’s spleen (and the one that had her go into the ER tonight - errr, last night) actually came in around 1:30 and talked with us and did a quick checkup. He said that the pain was...

To the hospital. Tonight Ana started experiencing very painful shoulder pain that was making it painful to breathe, so her surgeon advised her to come into the ER to get checked out. They’ve done EKGs, xrays, and the like and everything looks ok. ...

When we found out that Ana was going to be in surgery this week, I went on a hunt for a way to get a good internet connection at the hospital. In past visits the free St. John’s Hospital wireless had proven to be slow at best, and oftentimes unrel...

I’m sorry the blog was down for so long today. When I got to the hospital this morning I realized that my webserver ran into some (yet-to-be-determined) hardware problems and had shut down. Ana’s surgeon was supposed to stop by in the morning...

I’m sitting at home right now, in the comfy recliner and taking it very easy. I’m so glad to be out of the hospital, in charge of my own meds and food, and have electricity again. Everything went very well and I wanted to thank everyone for ...

She’s recovery now, surgery went well. Can’t wait to get in and see her!

Just got a phone call from surgery, Ana is stable and doing well and the surgeon has started working on her (roughly 25 minutes ago).
On a side note, there’s gotta be a better way to notify me of updates. The waiting room librarian walking over and...

Since Ana has surgery tomorrow at 3pm and they told her that she can’t eat anything after midnight, the only logical thing to do is to have a feast around 11pm the night before!
So, Jay and Katherine are here and we’re getting ready to throw s...

The current poll Which do you prefer - Walgreens or CVS is getting an interesting result, yet one that I suspected. 9 votes so far for Walgreens and 0 for CVS.
I cannot explain it but I just don’t like CVS. Taken at face value, the stores are iden...

Ana has been seeing a new doctor for her ITP these past couple of months. His recommendation has been to get her spleen removed since it appears to be the source of her platelet issue. In preparation of the surgery, which was to be in a couple weeks fro...
