I'm relieved to hear the surgery went well!! Sleep tight Slick. :)
Gini thanks so much for the update. I'm so very glad to hear that it all went well:)
Ahhhh!!!!! The Wonderful Update has been posted!!!(I've been wishin and wishin, till my wisher got sore!!) :rolleyes: :D
I can't imagine, saying "HI" , outloud in the Recovery Room!!! But, then again, isn't that just like Slick!!!!!
I'll keep my light on for more up dates!!!!!
Thank-You Gini!!!!!!
Boy, talking on the phone within hours of sir-jury! I knew she was tough but gee whiz!!! ;) :D :D :D
Thanks so much for the uppydates, Gini!
I did get a chance to talk to Slick yesterday morning as she was getting ready to go. She said we should all place bets on when she'll make her first post to PT after the sir-jury. She said she'd be in the hospital for a week and I told her my bet was that if she gets released in the morning, she will be ON PT before the end of the day. Maybe not posting, but on, then make her first post the day after she's home. However, if she doesn't get released until the afternooon, she won't make it on until the next day. I don't know about everybody else, but just being released is a tiring event and when you finally get home all you feel like doing is going back to bed!
Wonderful, wonderful news to start my day! Now.....if Kiki would only come home.... :(
My phone rang a minute or two ago and it was her friend, Betty again. SLICK CALLED HER THIS MORNING!! She said she couldn't talk long because they had her up and walking. She said "CALL GINI AND TELL HER!" They were also moving her to the twelfth floor this morning. Not sure what that means - if it will be her permanent room.
She DID NOT remember talking to Betty last night at all. Hmmm, those were good drugs! :D
That's our girl! Up and at em bright and early.
Hip Hip Hooray and Thank you God!

PS:
Nice Color, Mom! ;)
Yay, Slick! Walking in your cool slippers, I hope.
I wanted to post something here about Slick's home address.
In all of our conversations, this is one thing I overlooked. Slick is a very private person and I don't feel comfortable about giving out her home address unless I have her permission - which I don't.
She is going to be recuperating at home for a long time - so could I ask all of you to wait until I can talk to her in person on the phone and ask if it is alright to give out her address?
I hope you all understand and thanks.
Gini, thank you for the continued updates. I am so proud of our Slick, coming around from this surgery so quickly! What a girl, she is!!!!! :D
Fighting LES this morning!!!Quote:

Up and walking, that's our Slick!! :D If I know her as well as I think I do, she's be "racing" around to check it all out. LOL! Hopefully she'll have someone to hang on to the first few days!
Debbie, I'll bet she'll be online within the first few hours of coming home!
Just checking in and am very glad to hear that she's on the road to recovery. Thanks so much for the updates Gini!! :)
She's probably running after them by now :DQuote:

I am so happy to hear that your surgery went well Slick and that you are up and walking already.
Prayers and positive thoughts on the way that you have a full and speedy recovery.
You are one remarkable woman. :)
Hip Hip Hooray!........Sounding great!!!!!
Gini thank you so much for keeping us updated!
Slick you're still in my thoughts for a speedy recovery!
Hey Slick!
Gentle hugs and welcome back to the world.
They got you up and WALKING already? Rumour here has it that that is just a warmup to chasing the cute nurses..
Take care, dear. Take your time. You are remembered and loved.
:)
Being up and walking around is a very good thing! Take it easy, Slick and get home soon! ;)
Sending you good thoughts and prayers for your post surgery recovery. Glad it went well! :)
Hey there , Slick~~~~~
Like everyone else on Pet Talk, you can count on me to make another reply on this thread!!!
And, like all of those who have posted before me, I have had you on my mind , and, in my HEART for several days!!!
You are out from under that cloud of Darkness, Dear Pet Talk Member ~~~ Dear Slick!!!
Hey, I think the Wizard gave me a Brain Today!! ( You must have a connection somewhere in OZ!!!)
Hi everyone, Friday 9/15 - almost 9 PM.
I had a call this evening from Slick's friend and she was able to talk very briefly to Slick and also to Slick's Mom.
Apparently the "walking" part is a bit exaggerated. They had her "standing"
and also got her in a chair to sit for a while today.
She has been moved to the next level of care which is a 12th floor ward with five women in the room and one nurse on constant duty.
I am sorry to report that Slick had a terrible day. She told Betty to please just call Gini and tell her I had a really rough day and I am in a lot of pain.
This was to be expected I suppose - but hurts to hear just the same. Even if the cutest male nurse in the world came along, it doesn't sound as though Slick would be in the mood.
Slick does not have a phone in this room - I think she used her own cell phone or the hospital's portable to call Betty. When Betty called the hospital they would not let her talk to Slick - but gave Slick the message and Slick promptly got a phone and called back, but it was a very short conversation.
Connie - I think we need to ask those angels to lift the weight of the pain away from her as soon as possible - or double dose those good drugs.
xxoo to all - I will post more as I learn more.
As much as the walking around sounded great, what she is experiencing I'm sure is much more "normal" for what she has been through! :( They always force you to at least try to stand the day after surgery, to help prevent you from developing pneumonia. Most of the time the patients look at the nurses like "you want me to do WHAT?" :eek: I'm sure they will keep those pain meds coming, and hopefully she will get some relief and rest as well. Hang in there, Slick .... better days are ahead! ;)
Hugs,
Kim
Thanks Gini for keeping everyone posted ... although pain is normal part of any surgical procedure, it is 'painful' for us to know that a dear friend is feeling so uncomfortable.
I hope the messages coming through from PT are somehow soothing for Slick and give her a moment's ease from time to time - a smile is often times a very good pain remedy albeit brief.
And so to you dear Slick, I am wishing many, many, many smiles to ease your pain.
Sleep well and take time to heal.
Gentle hugs,
Betty

I'm so sorry Slick. I know over there in your country they get you out the bed etc. in no time (BTW earlier than here) and as I hate hospitals I would appreciate that- but if you are in pain your motivation is very low!
I hope they get that under control and you can sleep and recover properly.
Prayers that your pain is quickly lifted, Slick
phred brought tears to my eyes and hopefully ease for slick in working with the pain.........my thoughts and prayers for slick.....
Gini, thanks for the update.
As you say Gini, it hurts to hear. :( Extra strong prayers on the way for our sweet, dear lady.Quote:
