UPDATE10/2 things were really bad. They had to cut out the entire uriter and use part of my bladder to reconstruct a new one. The whole thing was full of infection. If they had delayed the surgery and more I might have made it. 9/6 they are going to have to cut out the scar tissue. Surgery is planned for the 23 and I will be down for 6 weeks after that. 8/11 Things didn't go as planned. My kidney is only barely draining once again. Tomorrow they will put a tube in the kidney to take the pressure off but I will have to have major surgery sometime soon. 6/14 another surgery I go in again 7/20 to have the stent out and we will see if it worked. 5/14 I still have a piece of stone and a lot of scar tissue in my ureter and my kidney is not draining. So they are going to put at tube to drain my kidney outside my body and a do balloon thing to try and stretch out my ureter so he can go back in and get the stone. I so want my life back. 5/13 Things are not going as well as I hoped. I am still having pain and will be going in for a catscan today. Then back to the urologist tomorrow. Then I'll be having blood work and some kind of test to determine my kidney function in 6 weeks. I'm slowly working on swaps but become exhausted easy. 5/4 April was a 3 check month (no insurance taken out) and I didn't have to pay for any Dr visits. I was finally able to afford the three inks that were out. My printer let me clean the heads and now I'm getting clear images. So I am slowly finishing swaps that require images (ATCs, magnets) I will be going to the doctor Friday. Hopefully he will take out the stent and I will no longer be in pain and will be able to safely use my sewing machine. 4/22 The surgery went well. Thanks everyone for your best wishes and prayers! UPDATE: I will be having another surgery on the 22nd. If you are looking for a package from me that is late I have had some issues with kidney stones that have made it difficult for me to sit for very long and function. I started getting sick around the 1st of March. On the 9th I was told it was a urinary tract infection. I went back on the 17th, had a catscan the next day and was at the urologist the next day (Friday) and in surgery the tuseday afterward. I had the flow to one kidney mostly blocked by a stone and a stone in the other one. During the surgery, one stone was broken up but the one blocking the kidney is still not out yet. They put a stint in the ureter. This is a tube and it moves around so I'm still in a great deal of pain. I go in the 20th and hopefully it will be over then but they might have to do another surgery. I will try to get your swap out as soon as possible. WANTED! I need Hershey miniature wrappers and other paper candy bar wrappers.

I use a DC # where ever possible but some things are not big enough for a DC# (like cards). If you do not receive, PM me and I will resend. I believe in recycling so you may receive an item in a reused box or envelope. I hope this does not offend you. I figure by reusing items there is less habitat lost for the animals.
I have cats. They seem to shed a bushel a day so don't be surprised if a little fur gets on something. I will check your profile to see if you are allergic and I will try not to bring items I'm sending in the house. I cannot grantee something won't pick up fur from my clothes. It has happened before.

If you are sending to me I have a list of things I can't use at the bottom of the page.

Likes:

I love wild animal print.

I generally wear black.

I wear men's tee shirts, size L.

My cats Love new toys.

I can always use new art work.

Shopping bags.

I have a large wist. http://wists.com/bronzfrog

Favorite colors orange, black. On occasion green and purple.

Dislikes: I am sensitive to many scents so bath products and candles are not a good idea. I am sensitive to cigarette smoke. I don't have any use for journals or cards. I don't wear jewelry often because of my job so wouldn't care for anything that is not on my wist. I do not cook (except for at work), my stove isn't even hooked up, so I do not have use for kitchen items. I'm kinda chunky and my weight fluctuates so the only clothing I would want is men's tee shirts. Hate Christmas. I don't care for paisley.

Unless I have signed up for a swap for a specific item listed here, please do not send me the following items. Candles Soaps Lotions Makeup Lip glosses or balms Personal care items other bath products Cards Stationary Notebooks or notepads Pens or pencils. Journals Jewelry that is not on my wist

Mom to 4, grandma to 1. Love my feline fur babies. I have 6. Love frogs and horses and big cats. Read a LOT. I work in a group home taking care of intellectually disabled adults. None of my children live in state, one is in Guam, so my life is pretty boring, Mainly I work, love my kitties, read and craft. Oh yeah, and go to garage sales! I am concerned about the environment.

I am the Queen of glue. Love Mod Podge. I can do some basic sewing. I make some simple jewelry. I do craft shows. Don't make a lot though so if you have any ideas of something that sells well let me know.

I have a hard time keeping myself in books. Thankfully there are yard sales but in the winter I run out so I end up rereading some. My favorite books are true crime. I like medical themed books like those by Robin Cook and then thriller and horror. I read an occasional romance, generally to with children in them. I've read all the Harry Potter books and have read the first two Twilight books. I have the DVDs that have some out. My dream is to write a true crime book.

I like crafting and DIY shows. I also like medicine (Untold stories of the ER) and true crime shows. I love shows with little people, the Roloffs are my favorite. I like Monk and Roseann. For movies I like comedy and family movies.
I love comedians and have been to see Jeff Dunham, Jeff Foxworthy and Michael Winslow. Fave actors. Robin Williams, Whoopie Goldburg,

Country, 70s and 80s Fave singer Tim McGraw.
