Glad your surgery went well....sorry for being able to feel it, that's scary.
Hope you are home with your kitties soon and able to get back on PT again. :D

Sorry to hear about the screwed foot! Glad that the surgery is done and that you're in good humor; at least with the vicodin. I hope that the recovery goes by quick and somewhat easy!
Thanks for keeping us informed, Phred. Good to hear that the fix is in and the healing can begin in earnest. And thanks, God, for taking care of our Staci.
Glad to hear that the surgery is over and things seem to be going well. Staci has such a sense of humor that I am sure that she kept that OR laughing. Get Well soon, Staci or a few of us may have to come a visitin'!
I'm glad to hear that surgery went well and that she's painfree. I hope that she'll recover quickly.:)
Glad to hear all went well and I was LOL at what they didn to her room!
That's great!!!
You don't go to that much trouble with the KY jelly and the vegetable soup unless you love a co-worker to pieces.
And who wouldn't love our Staci?
Oh, sure hope the healing takes place fast!
Many big hugs Staci!♥♥♥
Glad to hear all went well Staci! :)
:)
She's still "alive & sorta well"!
And she could actually TALK and be understood tonight!
She swore off the Vicodin in favor of Tylenol or something similar ...
much less *LOOPIE* and the foot doesn't hurt!
She said she went to bed at 10:00 PM last night --- and didn't wake up till 11:00 AM today!
Those were GOOD knock-out pills!
Tomorrow is a Big Day - the first adventure OUT into the world ...
* Visit with the KATS at her house, and
* Visit with the White Coat at his house/office
Rumor hazzit the ill-fitting splint will be exchanged for something "different" -
hopefully a more *comfortable* design.
A couple of *Bright Spots* reported >>>
* Some pretty Pozies from the Left Coast arrived by courier :)
* And a ringgy-ding from Miz Anna brightened her day!
If we're lucky - she'll hop on the 'puter tomorrow whilst she's saying Howdy
to the Kitty Tribe at the house and give us a First Person account of getting her foot *screwed*! :p
(Me BAD!)
Here's wishing for another quiet night and a good Doc Visit tomorrow!
Sleepie Tite!!
{{{Hugs}}} from ALL of us
;)
Night, Night, Staci. I'm glad you're doing well, but do what the doctor says please!!! Take it easy and get well soon!
Logan, Honey, Baby Mack, Ben and Butter
we just popped in at my house to check on my kitties and I'm checking email/mail.
The surgery was under 2 hours. I felt a bit of the drilling I started sqirming and told them I could feel it and the CRNA said - you can feel him messing with your foot? I said it feels like someone shot me in the foot he said I'll give you some more stuff and the dr requested Lidocaine and I said "Thank you"! My incision is about 3 inches long. I have very little pain - it throbs a bit and today it might more b/c I've been up and around more today than that last 2 days.
We just had a dressing change today still have the same splint to protect any banging or tripping. The Dr. was in Findlay doing surgery at BVH and found out how far it is to his (home) office from my parents house and he made arrangements to meet me at his Findlay office on his way back to Fostoria. Can't beat that! ;)
Excitement of last nite was I was sleeping very well around 230am and felt something on my arm. First thought maybe it was a fly or a spider and then it felt really heavy. Well, the BRD is the only "animal" at their house and I knew it wasn't her,(b/c I wasn't suffocating!) so I flung whatever it was to the end of the bed and sat up- kicking the pillows off the bed. Flipped the cover onto the floor and sat there for a bit and then saw something crawling on the back of the loveseat and YELPED Keegan just looked at it cocking her head. Grabbed my crutches and Glasses. And flipped the light on and it was a MOUSE!!! Sooo I headed into my parents room and my mom met me at the door and I said "THERE'S A MOUSE IN HERE CRAWLING ON ME!" she (just woke up) and said "THERE'S A MOUSE IN HERE CRAWLING ON YOU?" I said "YES!" So long story short (after Mom repeating everything I said ;)) - we woke up my Dad and he uhhh disposed of it to Mouse heaven. I think it was on its way b/c it had gotten into poison in the basement and dad said it was a little one. I didn't really care b/c it was crawling on me. :eek: We aren't rodent lovers so no offense to those who are...
I'm still at my parents for a few days for away from internet and hopefully MICE for a few more days...
Thanks for all the well wishes and positive thoughts- THEY ARE WORKING! :

From experience ... Boots da Kat many never have *CAUGHT* that many -
but his presence sure deterred them from staying very long!
***
Anybody wanna *bet* that Miz Staci sleeps with a NITE LITE on tonight?
:D
I don't know which episode I would dread more - the Sir Jury one or the Mouser one. Well, at least that last one got your heart a pumping and rushing some blood to all the extremities.
Ewwww!!
:eek:
Were you able to go back to sleep????
Holy Crap I wouldn't have been able to!!
Sending you extra special get well smooches from the pooches. :p
:p What a difference a day without Vicodin makes!
Tonight, She actually made sense on the first run-through! :D
They're all gearing up for Tonight's Adventure ... Nite Lites at the ready;
Staci's gonna hunt for a Tennis Raquette ...
BRD is prolly gonna ask Gramps to grab his pillow & blankie and meet her in the Barn!
Splint change is scheduled for Tuesday ... dunno why she's considering a return
to HER Howze on Sunday - seems a bit premature ...
I'd be sticking around for the Home Cooked MEALS and free maid service at the M&D Ranch!
She sounds purdy **Chipper** and UP-beat!
Sez "Howdie!" to all the Pet Talk Gang and Furries!
... Happie Bed-Buddy tonight, Staci!
:D
{{{Huggers}}}
Thanks for the uppydate, Phred. Sounds like all systems are recouping as they should, although I don't think I've recovered from the *mouse incident*.
:)
Miz Staci's still alive and reasonably well! :cool:
No Pain - the Tylenol still seems to work fine - Vicodin not needed.
Speech normal - sentences make sense! :p
She ventured out on the deck today - but the BRD wouldn't bring the Tennis Raquett up
from the yard - so tennie balls were not thrown / batted to said Dawg.
Word hazzit there were NO un-registered guests in or near the BigBed last night ...
Mouse Patrol (Dad) got to sleep through the night.
Maybe there WON'T be a KAT imported to the M&D Ranch.
PS: She HAS her cell-dinger with her ... feel free to call & spread Cheer! :D
/s/ Phred ;)
hey - quick check in-
I MIGHT be home tomorrow nite for a nite or 2 -
as a trial run.
no pain in the foot area
more pain - in the rest of the body from sleeping in a strange bed....
:rolleyes:
thanks for the continued well wishes!
Glad to hear you and your foot are feeling better!
Awe... you had a baby mouse cuddling with you?! Poor little thing, he probably just wanted to keep warm! :p ;) Be glad you aren't my neighbors across the street... they just trapped 36 squirrels in the house they just bought!! :eek: Apparently the old guy they bought it from didn't tell them about the visitors or the flying visitors either (bats!!!).
:eek:Quote:

If ya go --- **<WATCH>** dat Killer Back Step :eek:
{{{Hugs}}}
A big red dog told me that Staci's mom isn't the one that needs convincing ("your old enough to make your own decisions..."), it's Pop that wants his baby girl at home a little longer.
Hope you're feeling better and mouse free, Staci-roo! Miss ya!
well I'm HOOMMEE!
might be temporary -
it might a trial run for a couple days.
I haven't much left the wheel chair since I got here.
Yup the killer back step -
but it wasn't MY STEP that got me. I was headed inside at my parents house and apparently instead going up the first step (it's higher than mine is)and hesitating I apparently swung on thru and SPLAT I went flat on my belly. I couldn't even catch myself b/c of the crutches. My mom screamed. Keegan was excited that I was down her level and dad attempted to grab my pants - but missed but that would have been one helluva wedgie. AND I probably wouldn't have brought him down with me.
I wasn't hurt other than my pride, I suppose. My mom announced that I wasn't GOING home. But I got teary eyed b/c I just really wanted to be in my HOME. With my things and my animals and my couch and my BED. Mostly my bed. B/c I thought the bed that I was sleeping on was going to KILL ME.
I had 2 nervous parents that left me with strict orders to have my phone on me at all times and to check in FREQUENTLY! :)
I certainly won't say I'm back in action but I'm back on the bench! :D
:eek:
She's gonna kill herself!
OMG!Quote:

TRY to stay OFF the Killer Steps!
Happie "comfortable" & "Mouse-FREE" BigBed!!
{{{Hugs}}}
It's amazing how being in your own bed can make you feel so much better! I'm the same way... I hate leaving my kitties, even if it's only for a few nights.
Welcome Home Staci! Hope you sleep good tonight:D
Glad to hear you are back home Staci. Watch those steps!! ;)
i just saw the trip and splat post. girlfriend, how many times has your mom/dad called you? and please, do not do anything else to get yourself on the funniest videos shows. monster wedgies indeed!
I'm doing just fine...
My mom called me at 10 after 10 this morning and I was just waking up. My dad said - she won't be awake yet - she's in her OWN bed! :)
he was right.
I slept the best I had since Tues nite under vicodin induced sleep! :)
Foot doesn't hurt. I think Keegan is put off a bit b/c at least at my parents house she didn't have to get out of the way of the wheelchair all the time. :)
Tuesday ~~~ It's Doctor Day!
Mom-Taxi should be pullin in and *honkin* da horn for the Passenger.
They're headed off to the White Coat's Lab (just around the corner) for
an exam and hopefully a change to a more "comfortable" splint.
Then it's off to Wally's World for some "supplies" ...
then Who Knows What may be next.
Keegan will probably enjoy the quiet time -
no chance of getting her Tail *smushed* by a wreckless Wheelcahir Driver!
They're still investigating yesterday's :eek: Run-Over Tail accident ... trying to determine
if the *smushed* Tail was caused by Careless Tail Placement ~~~
or Bad Chair-Drivin by the impaired Crutcher.
HAPPIE Day Out, Staci!
:D
I'm voting for the careless tail placement. ;)
visted Dr.
had a dressing change only. Am still in the original splint. Which is fine. (I think it bothers Phred more than me b/c he keeps telling me to tell the dr to change it ;)) It doesn't bother me b/c it helps me catch my balance. Next week will be dressing change and possible cast or maybe a splint. He said it depends on how good of a girl I am! :eek: I may be in a body cast then! ;)
Anything to keep me off of it.
But things are still progressing. The screw is about 2-3 inches long and goes across the fracture site, to pull it together. :)
Glad to hear the screw is still in place!
Does the BRD needs a splint on her tail now?! :p
not a splint but some ROGAINE might be good! ;)Quote:

And I think Our Patient is gong to be her own Taxi Driver, and Crutcher.
Wish her luck in finding a close-to-the-door parking space;
as well as NO Killer Steps 'tween the car and her seat!
Happie Crutchin, and have **Phunn**!
/s/ Me
Whew, finally catching up on the adventures of your foot, Staci... :eek: :D Be careful at the wedding today - and no "Chicken Dance" at the reception for you ;) -- have a great time!
(Dont know if you guys do the Chicken Dance but I'm told it's a tradition at a lot of weddings)
yupper - well it was my uncle's (mom's brother) wedding, and I was just a spectator.
I had a chauffer. (DAD - who was an usher)
I'm able to drive, with my crutches in the front seat. I'm still hobbling along. Very little to no pain. Unless I come down on it which I did in the bathroom last nite (at the reception) b/c the floor was all wet. :mad:
Pat - there was no dancing. My uncle isn't into that stuff. ;) It was his second wedding and the bride's first. They just had a cd player playing in the background for noise. :)
I see the Dr on Tuesday so I'll let ya know what I find out! :D
OUWIE! :(Quote:

Did'ja get any new Stuff?? ... Splints, Guards, Wraps, Sox, Boots, non-skid Crutches,
maybe a Motorized Walker? Or a Skegway / Segway / :confused: / Two-Wheeled Power Scooter -
You'd be the Terror of Wally'sMart! :p
Most (or at least some) Kidding aside - we hope your Footsie *IS* getting Better!!
:)
