Update on Deb

Hey Everyone, I finally got called by the 2 surgeons today (they are both fighting about what they think is wrong) and even Dr Byrne has thrown in his hat into the ring, which I appreciate and asked him for his opinion as Dr Nguyen wanted to get his opinion too. I had an MRCP (MRI) done today and they called last minute and I went at 4pm and wsa home by 7:30 and it was not fun going in the little space they shove you in, and loud noises, strapped down, and its like being in a coffin. I just kept my eyes closed and ran my lines for my scene in my head the whole time, LOL So, I saw the MRI, could not see stones in the bile duct, but it is big looking. Oh well, we will wait and see. I am going to try to get films and blood reports to Dr Byrne as Dr Nguyen wants his opinion too. If I have to, I will fly to Charleston and see what is going on...I hate staying out here, and the gastric bypass doctor, Dr Nguyen, and Dr Lee, the bile duct specialist, are fighting about the results. Oh well, We will see what happens. Good News: I got called to shoot a trailer for a movie, and shooting the pilot next week for some military drama. They want me to play a military wife who is at her wits end and having a nervous breakdown because her husband is always gone, and she is basically a single mom, raising 2 little out of control kids and no support from the military, husband can't help, he's at war, and little money to do things and bills, and such. hmmm, think I am suited for this role?? LOL I think I am able to play the heck out of this role, and I have been working on my character. I had a friend who went through a divorce because her husband is always gone....I was using her life to inspire my character, plus a lot of my own being home alone thoughts and emotions. I don't know if I will be able to cry on scene, but I am working on it. Pray for me. I don't feel really well to do this, but the director said that is good, it will help you look more ragged and worn. So, I am going to go with it.... Wish me well, and pray for me!! I am nervous as heck, but its my first featured role, and I still don't really grasp what this show is about. I hope its respectable. Its very strange so far, what they want as characters, but I think its supposed to look like we are filming a reality show, but its not reality. I think its based loosely on the truth, but we will see. Love you guys, I just want to feel better, and Joni too. I don't like us feeling yucky!! God Bless!!! Love you!! Deb

I forgot, here are my updated stats: 144lbs, still.... loss-145lbs size 6, smalls mainly, some mediums, 5'9"

Deb, I am so inspired by you. You are in such pain but are doing some amazing things. If you come to Chas I will do anything to help. Please let me know. Mary

Deb I am still praying for complete healing and am trusting the Lord to perfect that which concerns you. Wow, is the Lord opening doors for you or what? You will do great and remember wherever we are as believers we can glorify the Lord by doing our best and I know you like me area perfectionist. Go for it and show them that Christians aren't flakes but empowered by the Lord Most High! In His love, Joni

WOW Deb, you have been through the ringer. I would trust Dr. B since he did your original surgery (and we all adore him). If you come to Charleston and need a place to stay let me know...I have an extra bedroom. I will continue to keep you in my prayers.... Love You, Susann

I appreciate all the support and prayers. You guys are all the best!! I am so excited to film tomorrow, and hopefully it will be good and not some stupid film, but hey its a step forward and God is really opening the doors. I felt really really bad today and I talked to the on call doc and he wanted me to go to the ER, but when I told him I wanted to film tomorrow, he said they would probably just give me pain shots anyway. I am going to hang through it until Monday and hopefully the doc will call me with the MRI results and blood tests, and see what the heck is going on. I think it is an ulcer now, and he said that can feel like a gallbladder attack, which is what it felt like today. Love you all, you are all the best!! Deb

Take good care of yourself & we're all praying for you to feel better quick! (gentle hugs...) Hellen

Any news yet? Are you ok? What did they say? Are you feeling better? How was the shoot? I love reading your updates! I am living thru your "star" experiences.
