Prayers on the way for Kirsten. UV, can you please PM me with her address?? I'd like to send her a card. Thanks.
Thank you for being so fast and good about updates! Let her know we love her and will be thinking about her!!!
Poor thing must be very scared but better to get the surgery done than wait and worry all weekend I suppose?
OK - now we can talk about her and plan her card shower too.;)
US 1st class postage to Germany is 80 cents:) for regular 1 ounce card or letter
I already sent her something last week, but I think I'll let Ally and Connor send her a card too!
Hope we hear good news very soon.
I am praying that the op goes well!
Oh Julie - cute idea! Cards from the kitties!!!:D A kitty card shower!
Thanks for letting us know!
Poor Kirsten, I hope the operation goes well! At least she doesn't have to wait any longer now.
I'm planning on sending her a Cat who .... book, just so you know, but there are many of those - lets hear what Uniquviking says first. She may know her taste in books etc.
Prayers for Kirsten ... how scary to experience numbness in her legs, but I'm sure the surgery will correct that!
Thank you, Uniqueviking, for keeping us updated on Kirsten!
I would love to send her a get well card. I know she must be so scared, I hope she gets well soon, and can get back to feeling normal, no pain.
I will keep Kirsten in my prayers, and will be thinking about her.
Willie
Prayers flying over to you and Kirsten from me too!
Prayers and positive thoughts on the way for Kirsten that all goes well.
I would also love to send her a get well card. I'm sure if she received cards from PT'ers it would really help her to heal.
Bless her heart! Prayers are on the way for a very easy surgery and qucik healing. She must be so scared.
Thanks so much UV for letting us all know what is happening and thanks in advance for keeping us posted.
Cards and letters from PT'ers could do nothing but make her feel better. http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/o...es/biggrin.gif
Another thought! If we send these things to her address is someone going to take her the mail? She is liable to be bombarded with packages and cards so hopefully someone will be doing a check and will take everything to her.
CCL- yes, when I spoke to Kirsten, she said that her neighbor will be taking in her mail each day and that either she (Gabi) or Kirsten's mom will bring the mail to wherever she is - hospital or rehabilitation facility.
Kirsten will be in my prayers. I hope she won't have any more back problems.
Kirsten will also be in my prayers as well. I hope this surgery will rectify her back problem.
Keep good thoughts that your surgery will be a success.
Good Luck Kirstin. I am praying for you!
Pouncer definately wants to write a card to help cheer her up while she recvoers!
I'm so sorry to hear this news.:(
Kirsten, prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. I sure hope that your surgery is a success and that you have a quick and full recovery.
UPDATE:
I just spoke to Kirsten on the phone - The phone # in the hospital is 0561/ 980 52 26 for those that wanna call. It's the # to the phone by her bed, so feel free to call anytime.
She had surgery last night at 6.30 pm and everything went well.
She is doing fine and can sit up + is able to walk around a little bit already, but still has problems with numbness in the left leg and foot. She starts physiotherapy tomorrow.
UV, I am so happy that Kirsten's went well. That poor lady was so scared and nervous. Nikki, Daisy, and I were all pulling for her. I hope the rehab part goes just as easy. KIRSTEN, HANG IN THERE!!
UV, Thanks for the update! I'll give her a call later today!
Thanks for the update! I'm so glad to hear the operation went well. :) :)
I'll give her a call later today, or tomorrow.
GREAT NEWS!! Thank you so much for keeping us informed!
I'm off to go shopping later today for a care package!
I’m so glad that the surgery went well.
Prayers on the way for a speedy recovery.
Poor Kirsten!!! I hate that things have been so hard for her lately. From what she's described it's been one thing after another. My heart breaks for her. But on a positive note, I'm very glad to hear the surgery went well. I know this is just one turn around positive step that will lead to a string of others. In time, her life will be much better and Luna and Lily will be there to see her through and offer some comfort and healing power of animals. Please let her know I am praying for her everyday and sending all the healing and postive vibes I can.
Great News!! Glad the surgery was a success, and hope the therapy will be too.
Great news :)
:o I forgot to write:
Kirsten asked me to tell you all hello :)
UV - you are so wonderful to keep us in updates!!! What a relief to know the surgery is already over...and she is sitting up:) Otherwise - she would still be at home and dreading the next several days but it is OVER!! Thank you so much! Please tell her we are so happy to hear this news and will hang in there with her over the coming months until she is back in action and here with us again:)
I tried to call a few times over the afternoon, but the number was busy!! Ally & Connor are busy with their "get well" cards!! I'll try to call her again tomorrow.
A BIG hearty HELLO back to Kirsten.Quote:

I am very glad that Kirsten's surgery went well and that she is able to sit up and walk a little. I hope the physical therapy also goes well and that she can go home soon to Luna and Lily. Kirsten has my heartfelt best wishes that she is on her way to a full recovery.
Thank you Uniqueviking for keep us up to date.
Thanks for the update UV. I'm so glad to hear that Kirsten's surgery went well. Prayers and positive thoughts are still being sent her way for a quick and full recovery.:)
Another update:
Just spoke to Kirsten, and she's not feeling well today. She's in a lot of pain (just had the drainage tubes removed from her back) and is feeling a bit down. I read this thread over the phone to her and that seemed to cheer her up. She is so touched by all the well wishes, thoughts, prayers and cards being sent to her. The support from PetTalk is greatly appreciated :)
Good news is that the numbness in her left leg and foot is slowly starting to wear off, and she starts physiotherapy this afternoon.
She asked me to tell the ones that has been trying to call her, thank you so much :)
UV,tell Kirsten when she is down like she is today, every PTer in the world is thinking of her! I'm happy that her numbness is slowly going away. I know it's not fun in the hospital.
I just spoke to her! She is having a bit of a bad day today - she is in a lot of pain (as UV said) and it appears that others who had the same op recovered more quickly than her, so she is very "down in the dumps".
She DID say that it means so much to her that everyone is posting messages of support, so keep them coming!! UV will be reading them to her again later, so even if you have already posted, why not leave another message and a (((HUG))) for her today!!
Her neighbour will be collecting her mail, and her Mum will be taking it through to her, so keep the cards and wishes coming!!!
Kirsten, praying for your quick recovery!!
(((HUGS)))
Julie
UV, tell Kirsten that there are PLENTY of ((((HUGS)))) coming from Nikki, Daisy, and myself from Pittsburgh!!
I will keep my fingers crossed for her!
{{HUGS}}
Sorry you are hurting so. :( It's good, though, that your numbness is going away.
