Hurricane Mikey...Updated


Hurricane Mikey is having emergency surgery right now.  Blood clots in lungs and damage to his heart.  He's having emergency surgery today.  What horrible, horrible news.  I saw Linda Lou's title and was hoping it was a joke.  You can read her post here:  PLEASE PRAY FOR HURRICANE MIKEY

I got a "missed call" from Mikey last night while I was at Seabrook.  When I called back there was no answer....I wonder if it was his sister calling....

UPDATE:

I didn't have my cell phone with me this morning because I gave it to my son, who was at Founder's Day. So he finally got home with my cell and I called Mikey's number.

Mamasan answered the phone.  I explained who I was and she was so gracious, kind and friendly.  Fruit doesn't fall far from the tree I suppose.

Mamasan said Mikey's sister found him not breathing and called 9-1-1.  Time was definitely of the essence.  Thank God she found him in time.

Mikey is out of surgery but his condition is still quite serious.  There was alot of information to absorb....he had an embolism and open heart surgery....which was very very serious with some complications.  He's out of surgery though and is able to talk a little.

Mamasan said he was being a pain so he was like his old self.  :)

I really don't know all the details, but I just keep thinking what if this happened while he was alone in Vegas?  I truly think things happen for a reason.  Mikey hauled his ass home to his family, right when he needed them most.  Thank God.

Mikey we wish you all the best baby!  Take care.  You'll be in my heart, thoughts and prayers.

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.

I'm busier than a cat covering up shit on a concrete floor so you'll have to forgive me for not posting today. What, you thought this was a post?  Um, no it isn't. But, if you're desperate to read something about Very Josie, and if you like crafty humor, you could go ---> HERE as this post tickles my funny bone.  Go on now, go THERE and enjoy some fine writing for a change, and tell him Very Josie sent you.

Upset

I got a lot of much needed sleep last night and woke up with intentions of writing a very funny story but plans have changed my friends. I just read Tony's Latest Post and I'm too worried or upset to write about anything so frivolous.  I think many of his readers just see him as an interesting story, and not a person.  I see the person, who I was trying so very hard to steer away from a train wreck, but it didn't work.  In fact, the part that scares me the most is maybe I, with my good intentions, pushed him further off the cliff.  Maybe I put too much pressure on him to avoid the machines - too much pressure about something he is unable to control.  I need to shut the fuck up and stop giving out unsolicited advice, which most likely will not happen.  I cannot express how badly I feel about this. I was only trying to help because sometimes when you're in the eye of the hurricane you don't have the entire picture, at least not a...
