I have cancer....the road to recovery

Slick is "scheduled" to leave the Operating Room about 5:30 pm Hospital / Pacific time;

and move into the "Recovery" area for "at least a 2 hour stay, maybe longer."

Next stop is "The Ward" - I'm not sure if that's her Final Room or another intermediate
recovery area.

For Reference:
Hospital or Pacific Time of 5:30 pm converts to 8:30 pm EASTERN Daylight Time.
(About 30 minutes from the time I'm writing this.

6:08 here....waiting......(trying to breathe normally)

Oh Yes, I am postive that God did pack a lunch!!!


Taking this "one hour at a time" !!!


Thinking "Lovely thoughts" ( gritting my teeth :eek: ) , keeping real busy, and holding onto this thread , real Tight!!!!!!!

Just after 9 pm here!
Prayers still going!!!

Have been thinking about Slick all day. Hope all went well.

Was just going to call the hospital - then realized I don't know her real name!!!

Good thing I am in the province next door, or they'd have the funny wagon coming for someone who insists on finding out about "Slick"! :D

Trust all went well....

It is 7:33 PM here on the West Coast and I just received a call from Slick's friend.

She had just hung up the phone with the hospital and they told her that she had JUST gotten to the recovery room. It was too soon for even the Dr.
to assess her condition.

Apparently they were backed up in surgery - and so Slick had to wait.

They told her to call back in about an hour.

If I hear more from her tonight, I will be sure to share it with all of you.

She said she would email me with any further reports this evening.

Isn't that the way it always is?????.....

thanks Gini for keeping us informed....

THANK YOU, Gini!

She made it through, anyway. Hope all is well!

At least we know she is out of surgery! :)
Thanks for the uppie date!!!

Thank you, Gini! I'll check in later to see if you have more news! ;)

Her friend called me again just now - 7:45 PM and told me she had talked to Slick's mother.

The Doctor called Slick's Mother after the surgery and said that everything was fine. Her Mom is going to the hospital tomorrow to be with Slick.

The delay in the surgery was caused by the anesthesiologist not showing up on time.

I probably won't have any more news tonight. Keep those prayers coming - the hard part for Slick is just starting - recovery!! A day at a time and she will be fine!!

xxoo gini

That's great to hear!

Kim

WOOHOO! She will HAVE to take it easy now. Yes, Girl, you relax!

I hope your owies are few and you have your happy pills to take you far away!

As long as you come back to us - WHEN YOU ARE READY, not before.

HUGS HUGS HUGS! (very gentle!)

Glad to hear things are well. Lots of thoughts and prayers headed out to Slick

Here's another that's glad to hear the surgery went well! Hopefully the recovery process won't be as bad as anticipated.

Still in our prayers?

Thank you Gini! Let Slick know we're all rooting for her (and praying too). Let the healing begin!

OMG! I just realized! That was my 5,004th post! I'm a Septa-pillar!

Glad to hear that so far every thing is going well.

Hi Gini,
I just spoke to Vicki!! I phoned for an update and I spoke to Vic's nurse,who said that she was doing fine?? (standard info!) and the next thing I heard Vic's very groggy voice saying HI! She said that all she wanted to do was go to sleep, so I let her go, but it was reassuring to hear her voice.

Will keep in touch

Well, it is me again. I just got this email from her friend. I thought you all would enjoy it. Finally..............you have to knock her out - but SHE WANTS TO SLEEP! She must be totally exhausted!
Sleep tight, Slick, don't let the bedbugs bite! :D :D xxoo

So glad to hear that! Thanks for the update.

WOW!

Slick at a loss for words ... must be Good Drugs she's on!

Good to hear she's able to talk ... tomorrow ... she'll be ready for a Hike in the Hall!

Sleep Tite, Slick!!

{{{Hugs}}}

It is me, one last time tonight. I wanted to share that Slick's friend knows absolute NOTHING about Pet Talk. We have all talked about it - some people you tell - and other's you just don't.

I have to really watch what I say because on the tip of my tongue was
OH, I HAVE TO SHARE THIS WITH PET TALK!!! She wouldn't have a clue
what I was talking about.

What's a Pet Talk? Is it a bird that talks? and is your Pet?:D :D :D

Hee hee - goooooooood drugs. Sometimes there's a need for 'em. Sleep well, Slick, and feel better.

That's great to know she was awake and alert to say "Hi"! ;)

Just checking in for an update and what a good one it is. Thank you so much Gini.

Sleep well Slick.

Gini, thanks for the updates. I'm so glad that everything went well.:) Now lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent Slick's way for a quick recovery.:)

I'm so glad to hear this! :)

I hadn't been able to get back on the net until now, but it definately made my day to hear everything went well. Sleep well tonight Slick (gotta love those drugs!! :D ). Thanks for the update Gini.

Thank God all went well! Thanks for the update, Gini. Slick will love those morphine drips!

Thanks God. :D

Thanks for the update Gini.

I'm so glad to hear it went well. Anesthesia makes you so dizzy- even when they wouldn't cut anything ;)

Hope that Slick sleeps safe and sound :)

I just woke up and had to come in here first thing and check on Slick. So glad to hear that the surgery went well and she is resting now. Sending out lots of positive vibes for speedy recovery.

Gini, thanks so much for the update! So glad the opeation went well. It's very reassuring to hear she was able to say Hi! :) Now she needs a good long rest, and then some yummy food. :p

For those of you who don't know ... if you want to send her a card, you can send it to her home address and she'll get it.

All my best wishes for a full and speedy recovery! :)

LOL about her friend and PT - some just don't get it!

Thank you God. A wonderful update for first thing this morning.

Thank you God!!!

And thank you Gini for the updates!!!
I had to pop on for a check on Slick before I did anything else today even before I fed the cat gang!
They said that it's ok this time since it was to check on our pal, Vickie. ;)

Prayers still continuing!!! She is gonna be in a world of hurt for a while as she heals. Praying for a quick recovery!!!

Hang in there Slick, every minute that passes brings you closer to the time you can get back to your "real" life!
Gentle (((HUGS)))

This is great news!

:) :) :) :) This is me now! Thank you Gini. I have only been up a few minutes and had to check in right away. Prayers for as painless a recovery as it possible.

Ha!Ha! Sounds like we all belong to some illegal, secret, underground organization or have a shameful addiction. I guess the latter is probably true! :p :p

Wonderful news :D :D Slick will be up and at 'em in her own good time - the worst is behind her now :)
