My sister definetely needs the 2nd surgery we found out for sure on Friday when she went to see the urologist. He mentioned it to her when he put the 2nd kidney stent in, but said they would "talk" about it at her appointment. So, they are planning for him & another surgeon to do it together. It will not be as invasive as we thought, they are going to make a smaller incision than we thought, but he is going to go in with a robotic arm to do the surgery because it has to be precise and it is a delicate procedure that will take 3hrs to do. She will have to stay in the hospital at least 2 or 3 days. It has an 85pct chance of working. So please keep your fingers crossed. They are doing everything they can to save her kidney. The only thing is, that this may not be permanent. This could happen again. UGH! I'm assuming the surgery will be sometime within the next few weeks. She was worried it would fall on my birthday, but since it is on a Sunday that won't happen. I wouldn't have cared if it did. She comes first no matter what.
I'm telling you, this weekend was about lines and food. LOL! The food part was just so bad. I don't mean taste bad, I mean calorie bad. But it was so worth it. Saturday we went to Outback Steakhouse with our friend from the signing. Now if anyone has ever had Outback's "Aussie Fries", you all know how delicious they are...below is a photo of what the plate looks like. They are fries with different types of cheese & bacon on top served with ranch dressing for dipping (I prefer ketchup).
Then on Sunday, we went to out to an Irish pub/restaurant with my best friend. Like I didn't clog my arteries enough the day before I go and do it again. We had buffalo chicken tenders with medium (spice) Buffalo sauce & fries. I can't even tell you how good this was. Seriously, my mouth was on fire, but it was so worth it. It cleared my sinuses too. Here is what it looked like......
Now today I'm recovering from the lines and my bad food choices. I only have myself to blame..ROTFL!

Mmmmm ...that food looks good! We just had beans and hot dogs for supper, but I'd much prefer those fries!
the older you get the harder it is to drink you have to coast yourself b/c you will pay for it the next day!! and that's b/c you don't have kids having kids and then being hang over is the pits.
