    Phesina updates - Home!!!

    On Monday I will be having back surgery at the University of Michigan Hospital.

    Don't know how soon after I will be able to get on line. I will see if or how I can get word out to you guys how it all went. Hope I'll be back in touch soon!

    Good luck, Pat. I'm hoping that it won't be nearly as bad as you are expecting. But I guess it's best to prepare for the worst, and then be pleasantly surprised when it wasn't too bad afterall. Always worked for me.................

    Thank you so much, Karen and Ellie and Nancy!

    I'm doing my best to keep a positive outlook, on how much better I'll be doing and feeling after this.

    Pat ~ Keeping you and your kits in my prayers. I know this will all work out for the best.

    Gentle hugs.

    Prayers and positive thoughts following you through this journey.

    Pat - take your cell phone. They encourage you to use them at the U. I was able to use mine the first day after my brain tumor - great reception. You might also check - call them on Sunday - to see if you could use a laptop computer. When I had my recent hip replacement out at Chelsea, I was able to use their wi-fi - and I would think/hope the U would have a similar set-up.

    Got it and will absolutely be thinking of you, praying and wishing you all the best.

    As a follow-up to what Grace said- you might ask if your nursing unit has a laptop or a tablet you can use, too. Most of the units at the hospital where I work have one or the other for patients to access education programs and get on-line.

    Phesina - Update

    I just received an update from Phesina's sister. The surgery went well and the outlook is good. She'll be in the University of Michigan Hospital for 3-4 days then on to rehab for several days until she's well enough to return home. No word yet about where Pat will go for rehab. As Pat's sister sends updates, I'll let you know how she's doing.

    That's good to hear. I'll be glad when she can post "in person" if things when as smooth as opposed to what she might have expected. I've been
    checking in this thread. http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...nday-(Sept-15)
