3 days

[davidpizzica]

Well, gang, 3 more days and it's hospital time! This time for sure. My potassium level should be up real good now (bananas are delicious!) Monday I have to get a blood test to find where my potassium level is. NEW KNEE YAY! I'm not so nervous now thanks to all of the PT support!!

[Rachel]

I am very encouraged to know that you are not as nervous as you were before. Maybe that *dry run* was helpful in more ways than one. Of course we will have you in our prayers once again.

[Randi]

David, it's good to hear you're not as nervous a before. :) Hope your levels are up to where they should be.

We're wishing you all the best for a succesful operation! Fister sends purrs!

[catnapper]

Good luck with your Potasium levels and good luck on the knee replacement surgery! We'll be thinking about you!

[Tonya]

Good luck, David. Keep us posted!

[gini]

David, it sounds as though you used up all of your worrying energy getting prepared for the prior non-surgery.

Everyone keeps telling you that you will be so happy with the results and will soon be back on your feet and running!

Prayers and good thoughts going out to you!

[slleipnir]

I'm glad you're not as nervous :) Good luck! Hope to see you back posting soon!

[Aspen and Misty]

David, I'm going to come visit you in the hospital ;) I'll just walk in the door with all these gifts and be like "Hi! I'm aspen and misty!" ;)

I hope your surgery goes well! Keep us posted!

Ashley

I sort of know a little more of what's going to happen this second time around. Aspen & Misty, you can give me ALL the hugs you want!!

[Corinna]

David I was talking to my dad (had his done last fall) Says the pain from recovery was less that the daily pain before the operation.
Slick and I will keep you laughing after you get home. Good luck.

[slick]

As always David, my prayers will continue until you come back on baord again.

Just one concern I have. The last time, I called around to several hospitals to try and get an update and they all said that you were not there. Obviously I called the wrong hospitals. This time is there anyone out there who can get an update and post the day of the operation? Ashley, maybe? If she could just call the hospital to make sure you are alright and then let us know that would be a load off our minds. If you are in the hospital for a week, we'll have to wait that long and....

WAAAAAAAHHHHHHH I DON'T WANT TO WAIT THAT LONG FOR AN UPDATE!

[Lillycat]

good luck.....hope the days fly by!

[kingrattus]

david p this is the first I've heard of this. My aunt had both knees done & shes not even 50 yet.

The first one went so smoothly the dr.'s were amased & she got her 2ed one done earlier, then normal. The 2ed one went well, untiul her husband left on a work trip & she had to tend to the newborn sheep. It got infected, then her bones got infected & now shes fighting to keep her leg. They ended up removing the new knee & fusing the good bones together. so her leg is stiff now.

Please listen to the dr. & when they say, stay clean & get plenty of bed rest DO IT!!!! She would have been fine if her husban didn't have to go 2000km away & if the stupid farm boys would have helped out more so she wouldn't have had to do barn work.

Good luck & enjoy the new painless knee.
My aunt said the pain from the surgery didn't bother her at all. She was walking around right away!!!

[Felicia's Mom]

I hope everything goes well for you! Keep us posted!

[davidpizzica]

Well everybody, Ashley of Aspen & Marty might visit me in the hospital, and I'll tell to put an update thread on about me. Some how, I;m a little more relaxed this time around!

My aunt said the pain from the surgery didn't bother her at all. She was walking around right away!!! I'm going to do EVERYTHING the doctors tell me to do! I also have a tough outside job. I am groundskeeper at my local golf course! I'm a little older than your aunt, I'm 56, but the doctor said that I was a little young for knee repacement. That's the first time in a long time somebody said I was a litle TOO YOUNG for something!!

[kingrattus]

my aunt found it funny when she heard the " TOO YOUNG " comment too. But she should have had the surgery over 10 years ago. She hasn't willingly bent her knees for almost 15 years now. & her ankles bones were fused together by dr.'s about 10-15 years ago due to so much pain in them.

Her dr. said shes the youngest person they have ever done the surgery on out there.

& kinda off topic but still Dr. related. My dad holds a hospital record for largest skin absest removed. For months he was the talk of the hospital & when it was first removed they took the absest & showed it all across the hospital. It was about 5-6 inches long & about1 1/2 inches across. It was in his back :eek:

I had been bugging him for 5 years to get it looked at cause it kept getting bigger & the pin hole in the center was getting bigger & deeper (about 1cm long). He finally went & the Dr. said not to worry about it. Soon it'll erupt & cause u pain & then we'll remove it.

Not even a week later !!BOOM!! It started leaking & he couldn't even sleep in his chair without pain. & then he got it removed on the 3rd day hehehe..

The Dr's expected ME to pack his 6 inch hole in his back twice a day!! I told my dad he was NUTS!! No way in hell I'm touching it!! So we had a nurse do it :)

I told him the only time I'd do it was if I was the only one who was around & I'd do it to Max with no questions asked (cheaper then the vets doing it). I still get shivers thinking about that gaping hole.

[slick]

What time is your operation supposed to be and how many hours are you ahead of me? I'm on PST.

[gini]

David, you ARE too young to be having this major surgery.

I know that it won't be long before you are back at Thursdays and cutting up the rug with your dancing!

I will be following all of the good news that is upcoming about you!

[slick]

David, just thought of something. If I give Ashley the recipe for the slushies, maybe she can whip up a batch and bring it to you in the hospital. :D :D Talk about a painkiller. :eek:

:o :o Shucks!
We are ALL worried about you. I'm just trying to find a way of getting the good news early and spreading it around Pet Talk for everyone. Don't forget to take Mario with you. He will bring you good luck while you're in the "joint".

[Aspen and Misty]

I can call if you want. I'm still trying to arrang things to see if I can get down there ::crosses fingers:: :D
I don't want to make any promises though! I'm working hard to try and get there though!!! :D

Hmm, what hospital will you be at? What time will your surgery end? What day are you going in again? Any info I might need to get to your room? I've only ever visited my bro in the hospital!

Hmm, I'm still not sure if I can get there or not! But I sure will try!!! If not, good luck and is there a number I can call to check up on you also?

How long will you be in the hospital? I'm going to IUP on Saturday and could drop in, if you don't mind, if your still there that is! :D

Ashley

[trayi52]

David, I'm glad to hear you are calmer this time around. I will be thinking about you, and will keep you in my prayers.

Make sure you keep us updated somehow, so we don't worry so much.

Willie:)

Ashley Ashley, I'm going in on wednesday august the 18th. I'll be at Forbes Regional Hospital in Monroeville, Pa. The hospital will call me tomorrow to tell me what time to go in. How familiar are you with Pittsburgh? You can call 412 858 3140 that's the surgical area of the hospital and they can tell you what room I'm in. I think altogether the surgery will take about two hours. I'll probably stay there 3 to 5 days. Can you smuggle Aspen & Misty in?

Well David I nearly missed this thread, but see you are feeling more relaxed, maybe its because you have had a trial run, and of course all your PT people cheering you on.

Wow a visit from a PT person, and a pretty young girl at that, gee that will send the rumours around the hospital, just kiddin,isn't that sweet of her ., and yes Slick is one special lady David, we are all blessed to have her friendship on PT.

Now you take care ya hear, and keep cheering for us kiwi's in the Olympics, we need all the help we can get it appears.

Will be thinking of you matey, and hoping all goes well and you will be back on PT very soon. HUGS.!!!:)

Maybe we will just have to call you the Pizza man from PT. lol:p

[davidpizzica]

Carole, I have to be at the hospital by 8:15 tomorrow morning with the surgery at about 10:45. You are right that dress rehersal(undress rehersal?) helped me to be less nervous this time around. Thank you, Carole for all of your kind thoughts and prayers. you are one beautiful NZ lady!

Okay, David, one more message to let you know we are all there with you in thoughts and prayers. That surgery room will be thick with PT vibes. It will be so good to have this over with. The recovery should be a piece of cake compared to the *big wait and worry* before hand.

[Killearn Kitties]

Aww, thanks so much for the link Cinder and Smoke! I've sent a card off. I hope he gets a nice pile of cards to look at. :D

[Randi]

We sent ours! :)

[Albea]

Thank you for the link, Phred. I just sent a card.
If anybody can understand how David is feeling right now it's me :(, after having gone through the same surgery. It won't be fun for a couple of days...

[AmberLee]

{{{Phred}}}

Thanks for the link.

Cassy and Livvy :rolleyes: just sent a card.

[Rachel]

Yes, Phred, thanks for the link. You're the BEST!!!

What a neat service for them to provide.

[Randi]

Phred, how could I almost forget ... thanks a lot for the link, it made it so much easier! :) I wonder if danish hospitals have this service - I don't want to find out! ;)

[tatsxxx11]

Thanks for the link Phred!!! Phew...IT'S OVER!!!:) But yes Alicia, the next few days will be tough...thank goodness for pain meds, caring nurses and good friends:)

[Aspen and Misty]

Done. :)


Ash

[gini]

Phred, thank you for the link - it is terrific that they do this!

I sent David a Congratulations on the Baby Boy card...........I told him that Mario spilled the beans.:D :D

Do you get the impression someone in the hospital system is keeping a list of Pet Talk members for future looney bin residents? [Note to self: do NOT get into the Pennsylvania Hospital system!] :eek:


I do think this is a VERY cool service they provide, though.

[slick]

GUESS WHAT....I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH DAVID!!!!
He's doing great and they have had him up and walking and now he's sitting in a chair. He says he's in a lot of pain and he's received about 2 dozen cards from us already and he's overwhelmed. I suggested that he bat his eyes at the nurses and beg for some internet time so he could post. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it will happen. He sounded very upbeat and says
THANK YOU FOR THE CARDS!! :) :)

Oh yea, if anyone else wants to spend some money and call him I have the direct number to his room. Just PM me.

[gini]

Slick, thanks for taking the time to call David.

I would imagine that today will be one of his worst as far as pain, but that he will have steady improvement every day.

I hope he can get a computer to use. But thanks to Phred, he is getting his cards and he knows all of us are concerned and care.

[Rachel]

Thanks for the update, Slick. I was hoping someone would call.
That is the best news to know he is doing okay and will be getting better each day.

[Randi]

Slick, thanks so much for letting us know David is OK. From here it's FORWARD! :D I bet he'll charm the nurses one of these days to get some PT time in.

Now, if you talk to him again, tell him not to dance right away! We can wait a few thursdays. ;)

[Corinna]

Thats great to hear Slick I just sent him a card. Cool idea for a hospital, thanks phred for letting us know about it.

[Miss Meow]

Phred, what a great idea! Thank you :)

The card is on its way!

[lbaker]

Just sent another silly one.. that's four for me (all signed differently of course, but same email so I'm sure I'm not fooling anyone... )

[kimlovescats]

Thank you so much for the updates on David. I have been wondering about him .. and just now saw this thread tonight! ;)

I sent him a card the first time around ;) I do think it would be neat to call him at home though. If you have the "ok" to give out his home number, Slick ... I would like it!

Thanks,
Kim:)

I don't have his home number Kim. All I have is the phone number to his room. Would like it too if someone has it. Maybe Donna?

[lbaker]

Just spoke with David at the hospital, he says BIG BANNER HEADLINES... THANK YOU :D :D He sounds well but hurting :( He's listening to the nurses though and even though it hurts he's doing his exercises. He says the food is "tolerable" and the nurses are very good to him. He has no idea when he will be released (as of this morning anyway).

[gini]

Aw, Laurie, how nice of you to stop and call David. Thanks for letting all of us know.

Poor guy, it just cannot be much fun for him right now. But each day will be getting better for him.

[lbaker]

So good to hear he's doing well. I am glad he's listening to the nurses - knees are important and easily screwed up at this point. I hope he's stays as long as he needs to, and not a moment longer. Incarceration - I mean hospitalization - is just no fun.

If anybody can understand how David is feeling right now it's me :(, after having gone through the same surgery. It won't be fun for a couple of days... Albea, as Dr. Smith on "lost in space says, "Oh, then
pain, the pain"
