Another one under the knife
:::ANOTHER UPDATE: Noon, Tuesday, April 24: ANOTHER UPDATE:::
Mister Big Big Sister is having some trouble breathing, but is on oxygen. Can get just little sips of air. Big Brudder agrees with me that it might just be the air they leave in your body cavity, which takes time to dissipate. "Hey ain't real perky, but he's doin' all right," Big Brudder reports. (He talks like me, with dropped g's and gratuitous apostrophes and all.)
:::END UPDATE: Noon, TUESDAY APRIL 24: END UPDATE:::
:::UPDATE:::
Mister Big Big Sister is out of surgery and seems fine.
Funny, with Mama ER, most of the extended ER family actually kept up with her progress, then sad decline, by reading it here. (For any newcomers: Hopeful beginning. And, sad ending.)
With Mister Big Big Sister, by the time anything gets posted here, it'll be about as timely to any family members as last week's county paper.
But, update I will, for the benefit of the ER Prayer-Good Karma-Cool Vibes-Happy-Happy Thought Warriors, who so upheld me during the Mama ER ordeal! Gee, y'all are swell! :-)
:::END UPDATE:::
Mister Big Big Sister, my brother-in-law, has triple heart bypass surgery today in Dallas.
I asked him yesterday evening if he was celebrating life with a big ol' brisket. He said he opted for a ribye.
"I figured the doctor ought to smell some kind of fatty meat when he cut into me!" he said, or something close. "It'll be the last I can have for quite awhile.
That is a sad fact.
Heart trouble is just a way of life in Oklahoma and Texas. Cattle Country. Mister Big Big Sister grew up in Oklahoma and lives in Texas. The cultural and agricultural dietary cards are stacked against him.
Your prayers, karma, good vibes, happy-happy thoughts, please, for Big Big Sister and Mister Big Big Sister. Direct them to Dallas and Terrell, Texas.

Prayers and good thoughts going out for Mr. Big Big Sister. He's just a beginner, though. Yesterday in our prayers at church we lifted up a member who had seven (yes, 7!) stents put in last week. I think that may be a record for one sitting.
I hear tell that he ran everybody out of his room late today so he could get soem rest -- a gooood sign. :-)
Dr. ER's mama, Mama Jim, did same, when *she* had the same surgery, Dr. ER says.

give you a back rub. I am sure you could use one. :-) Thanks ER for keeping us informed.
