As you all know by now, Sue has been dealing with back issues. She has had her discogram. It was scheduled and just prior to it her family Dr. put her on a course of prednisone (6 days) and oh did she feel good for on Easter. However that day she started decreasing the strength and so did the good feelings decrease. Sue called her family Dr. to see if she could stay on the prednisone and the answer was a flat NO. Back to the discogram, it took forever to get it scheduled. It is a long story and it was frustrating to say the least but it got done. We realized that no follow up appointment was set so Sue called the neurosurgon's office and got the earliest one available which was June 5th. over 7 weeks away.
A week after the discogram (which by the way we won't go into other than to say, hope no one every has to experience one)Sue had a follow up visit with her family Dr. Sue told her that she wanted to hug her on Easter and said she was telling people how wonderful she was. The Dr replied, "so the prednisone made you crazy." Of course she was joking.
They discussed the reasons why she couldn't stay on the prednisone. Then the Dr. asked how Sue tolerated that awful test. Sue said, "well it isn't the most wonderful test in the world and she wouldn't like to go through it again, but to be honest, it isn't much worse pain wise than what she lives with each day." The Dr seemed very surprised. To which she responded, "really ?" Sue said,"yes."
The Dr asked when Sue was to go back to the neurosurgeon and when she was told June 5th she was appalled. Sue told her that was the first appointment she could get and she would have to wait until then to find out the results. The Dr. said that she had the results. So she went over them with her. She told her that her back is a "mess". Apparently there are 4 ruptures, and many tears. She also stated that there is a scale they use but that she not being a specialist doesn't know exactly what the numbers mean.
She asked what the neurosurgon was considering and they discussed it in great length. Sue told her she really wanted to avoid surgery but that she was to the point that she didn't know if she could deal much longer with the pain, but since Sue is adament about not taking pain medication there isn't much option. The Dr. said, "would you please try a medication I would like you to try"? To which Sue responded,"is it going to make me loopy?" The Dr. said it would be taken at bedtime and gradually build it up she wasn't sure of the effect it would have but taking it at bedtime would make Sue sleep more restfully and to please at least give it a try. So after thinking a few minutes Sue finally said she would try. So we are trying, and today is the 5th day and it has increased one time. There is a side effect that she does not like she is very sleepy in the afternoon but is hoping once her body builds up a tolerance to it that will go away. For now, we are trying and it seems to beginning to do something. We are praying for some relief and hoping maybe to avoid surgery.
Yesterday Sue got a voice mail on her cell phone. You won't believe this...this is where the "screaming" comes in. (the title of my blog) It was from the neurosurgeon's office. The office staff leaves much to be desired. Above we said we won't go into the scheduling of the discogram. Ok, Sue had it 2 weeks ago after a LOT of hassle to get it scheduled. The voice mail goes something like this, "Mrs. Hilt, this is Nurse.... from Dr. Young's office and we are calling because we see that you have an appointment scheduled for June 5th and when you were here in March they wanted you set up for a discogram and that the Clinic in Fishersville no longer does them so we need to set you up to have one over here in Richmond at Dr. ..... and he usually sets up a pre appointment but since you live so far away we thought maybe we could set up the pre appointment and the discogram the same day so you wouldn't have to have two trips to Richmond. We want to get this set up so we can have the results before you next visit in June." GOOD GRIEF. Sue called her back and of course got voice mail and left a message. Yet another nurse called back today and started all over again to which Sue told her she had already had the test...and her family Dr had the results and they should have them too. However Sue will go by the hospital here and get a CD of them and hand carry them when she comes June 5th just in case.
For now we are going one day at a time. We have great faith in our family Dr who has been wonderful to us and was great to Sue's mom and dad. Please keep good thoughts that this medicine will work without too many side effects and surgery can be avoided. Luv and hugs!

Circus
The Cole Brother's Circus came to Harrisonburg. Sue answered a trivia question on Channel 3 tv and won 8 tickets! A value of $138! GO SUE! So last night Sue, Roger, Tara, Sydney, Trinity and Carl and Thelma went to the Circus. Up to the "Big Top". What an amazing time it was.
Then only negative part was how cold it was. We had reserved seat with back thank goodness, however the seats were metal! Talk about chilly fannies! Poor Thelma who will be 93 this August only wore a sweatshirt cardigan. When we first got there it wasn't that cold but as the evening progressed it got colder and colder. You could even see the performers breath! Everyone was a good sport, and the children didn't even seem to be fazed by the cold.
Watching the eyes of a 3 year old light up,at the sight of the elephants and high wire acts and witnessing your grandchildren riding the pony rides, eating cotton candy, waving laser swords just makes it all worth the effort. Trinty loved the motorcycles riding dual in the ball amazed they didn't crash into each other. They laughed at the clown acts. We were so amused when Trinity was so concerned that the man being shot out of the cannon would go over top of the net. She was so relieved when he actually did land in the net. What a great time we all had. Our only regret was that our other grandchildren lived so far away. We could just see little Sarah, who adores Elephants being there, how excited she would have been! Maybe the next time. These are the times we treasure and hope will remain in our grand children's memories as they do in our children's. Lee said, I remember going to the circus when I was Sydney's age. It brought joy to our hearts. What a wonderful adventure

Wonderful News
Well it has been quite a week at the Hilt house. Sue had her discogram. That was quite an experience and one she doesn't want to go through again. She is recovering finally. A bit sore still but it is behind her and hopefully the neurosurgeon will learn from that the best course of action to take. She will go back to see him on June 5th and learn where they go from here.
Tonite Lee, Tara and Trinity came by for a visit. When they came in Lee said, "Mom do you still know how to knit?" Of course Sue responded,"yes". Then he replied, "you better get started because we are going to be having a baby." You can imagine the excitement in the house. Trinity hadn't heard until then either. We were all overjoyed. Trinity was thrilled.
What a blessing. Our 6th grandchild is on the way! Sue was just thinking today about how the youngest is almost 4 and there were no little babies. Now there is one on the way! God is so good! Just had to share our joy and excitement with you all!
We are so happy for them. Love and hugs!

Easter Blessings
Easter is here! A time to rejoice in the resurrection of the Lord. Let us not loose sight amongst the candy, eggs, baskets and decorations of the real meaning of the day.
What a joyful day it is! He is risen indeed! Without Jesus’ righteousness and sacrifice there would be no grace. Praise God for Jesus. One day we who believe in Him will see Him and will all be changed.
He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. Matthew 28:6-10
Easter blessing! Luv and hugs, Sue & Roger

A Wonderful Weekend for Grandma!
We are so blessed! It is such a joy to spend time with our grandchildren. Saturday night Trinity spent the night and went to church with us. We had a great time just being together and she brought the movie "Marley & Me" for us to watch. A funny movie, cute but boy watch out for the ending...very sad!
We got home from church and had a wonderful afternoon! Christopher, Ginger and Sarah and of course their mom and dad arrived to celebrate Christopher's birthday. I can hardly believe that tomorrow that grandson of ours will be 11 years old. It seems just like yesterday that Kristy gave birth and I got to be the first person to hold him right there in the birthing suite. I will never forget that moment. What a joy it was. Now that little tiny baby is 11 years old. Where did all those years go?
Lee came and joined us and everyone celebrated! We even had an extra unexpected guest. Kristy and Vic brought with them their little dog Roo-Roo. Not sure that is how you spell his name but he is a cute silky terrier. So that added to the excitement.
The grandchildren have grown so much. They were all outside playing in the yard. It is amazing how they have gone from little tiny children to youngsters who get along and love to play together. It is such a joy to watch them all play. They don't get much opportunity to see each other but when they do, it is just wonderful to witness.
As for Kristy, Vic, Lee, Sue and Roger, we all enjoyed visiting too while the children were having their fun. There was so much laughing going on. Remembering stories from when Kristy and Lee were young. And I think it was so funny when Kristy mentioned something about "her" room. Lee pipped up and said, "at least you still have a room." Everyone started laughing. Lee's old bedroom was demolished downstairs and added more room to the garage years ago. He said, "above a door downstairs is sign that says "Lee's Room" and it leads to nowhere! Well it struck everyone so funny.
I was quick to point out that he had a room, he lived here for a good while after his room was demolished. He laughed and everyone just got so tickled. He said ya, I was in "Kristy's old room." I don't have an "old room" anymore. I guess you had to be here to see how funny it was.
Then there was the topic of the "yellow bucket fish" that Vic had Sarah ask Lee about. Laughter once again. We had to explain to Sarah about Lee and the "yellow bucket fish". Lee gets so adamant that one day he will prove to us there is a fish that is called a "yellow bucket fish". I know you don't know the story and if you ever want to know, just ask and we will be glad to fill you in. Or better yet next time you see Lee ask him to tell you about the "yellow bucket fish." Watch him moan and laugh. I guarantee you will get a kick out of it.
The house is quiet and everyone has gone home. But once again, we have wonderful memories of a sunny Sunday afternoon full of grandchildren, our children and lots of laughter and fun.
I wish all of you the same joy and happiness when you get together with your family over the Easter holiday. I can hardly wait til May 9th when it is Trinity, Roger and Lee's birthday and hopefully we can all be together again. Let's hope Kristy has that weekend off. What fun that will be!
Love and hugs!

Wishing Everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day
Just a short post to wish everyone a Happy St. Patty's Day! Today is a day that we are all "Irish" in spirit. So Erin Go Bragh!
"Erin Go Bragh"
Erin Go Bragh
Bring my pipe and fill its bowl,
Tthat I may puff to sooth my soul.
For it is sure to clear my brain,
And bring old memories back again!
For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.
Here’s to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold beer—and another one!
Here’s to fine wine, women, and song.
And here’s to workdays that aren’t too long.
Here’s to shoes that always fit.
And here’s to you, you silly shit!
Here’s wishing you the top o’ life without a single tumble.
Here’s wishing you the smiles o’ life and not a single grumble.
Here’s wishing you the best o’ life and not a claw about it.
Here’s wishing you the joy in life and not a day without it.
Life is like a cup of tea, it's all in how you make it.
May God bless and keep in good health your enemies' enemies.
May God grant you always...
A sunbeam to warm you,
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering angel,
so nothing can harm you.
May misfortune follow you the rest of your life, but never catch up.
May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
May the leprechauns be near you to spread luck along your way!
May the leprechauns dance over your bed and bring you sweet dreams.
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
May the saddest day of your future be no worse
Than the happiest day of your past.
May the sun shine all day long,
Everything go right and nothing go wrong.
May those you love bring love back to you
And may all the wishes you wish come true!
May those that love us, love us.
And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles
So we will know them by their limping.
May you always walk in sunshine.
May you never want for more.
May Irish angels rest their wings right beside your door.
May you get all your wishes but one so you always have something to strive for!
May you have warm words on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill all the way to your door.
May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.
May you live long,
Die happy,
And rate a mansion in heaven.
May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you wherever you go.
May your day be filled with blessings
Like the sun that lights the sky,
And may you always have the courage
To spread your wings and fly.
May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you’re dead.
May your home always be too small to hold all your friends.
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.
May your right hand always
Be stretched out in friendship
And never in want.
May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks.
May your heart be as light as a song.
May each day bring you bright happy hours,
That stay with you all year long.
May your troubles be less
And your blessings be more.
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door.

St. Patrick’s Day is an enchanted time - a day to begin transforming winter’s dreams into summer’s magic.- Adrienne Cook
The light heart lives long.
The mills of God grind slowly but they grind finely.
There are many good reasons for drinking,
One has just entered my head.
If a man doesn’t drink when he’s living,
How in the hell can he drink when he’s dead?
Time is a great story teller.
Tis better by far at the rainbows end to find not a pot of gold but the heart of a friend.
Two shorten the road.
Wherever you go and whatever you do,
May the luck of the Irish be there with you.
Your My Pot of Gold!

Oh my aching back!
Well the long ride in the car has finally caught up with Sue! Yesterday Sue left work to attend a funeral, as she sat down she felt something in her back. She thought oh no, but kept saying to herself this will pass. She went back to work and after the end of work went to several grocery stores to get items for Saturday's celebration for Kristy's birthday.
Kristy and family are coming in for the day. Actually her birthday was the 5th but she has this weekend off and now has a car to get to Staunton in. So, she decided she would like to come to Staunton for the day. Well, Sue is very excited about seeing the grandchildren also (first time since Christmas). Back to the grocery store story. As she was putting the cart back at the last store she felt this terrible pain in her back. She managed to finally get back to the car and get in. She called Roger and told him she was on her way and might need help. He met her at the car and helped her in the house. She sat on the couch and Roger unloaded the car and put away the groceries. When Sue got up from the couch she let out a yelp! The pain was excruciating, but after that it subsided a bit. Roger decided what must have happened is the disc must have slipped out at the grocery store and when she got up off the couch it slipped back in. After Sue thought about it she realized he was most likely correct. So now, she is suffering from the after effects -- and the aches and discomfort.
Her neurosurgeon asked to see her when she has these episodes. This is the second one and each time she has had one, she has called. But alas as with most Dr. offices it is next to impossible to get past the office staff to even speak to the Dr. let alone see him. Not to mention he is in Richmond 90 miles away. So we wait yet again for a response. Most likely this "episode" will be over by the time we hear back. Guess we will wait and see.
Roger went to the Laity Banquet without Sue this evening and told her to lie flat and not to dare get up until he gets back from Lexington. Hopefully then together they will bake Kristy's cake. Lee is helping with her birthday meal so Sue can just relax and enjoy the children. We are glad they are old enough that they will understand that Ne-Ne can't be climbed on.
So, next year Sandy and Sue have decided no driving to FL. They will fly. It is too hard on Sue's back to sit in a car that long. This aging is no fun!!! Except for the joy of grandchildren..that is such a blessing.
