Oh Kirsten, it's SO unfair if you have to be in hospital on Luna's birthday, but hopefully they will let you out before. I hope that swelling is something they can treat easily and you will also be free of pain in the future.
Big hugs and good luck! :love:
I really hope going back helps. Many good thoughts coming your way.
We are crossing fingers that it is something that can be treated quickly and that you will be back home soon.
Kristen-
You will be in my thoughts. Please have someone keep us updated if you can't return right away and please try to listen to them and rest as much as possible.
Take care,
Melissa
Kristen - prayers it's only a day and that this is the last time. Good Luck!
Kirsten, I'm sorry that you have to go back into the hospital.:( Hopefully you won't be there long and the doctors will be able to fix you up quickly. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
Thank you everyone! I really really hope that I can go back home after the treatment, and won't have to stay for the night, or even the next days. All I want is to be with my girls, and be with Luna on her birthday!
Kirsten
Dear Kirsten, I hope this can be repaired easily and you won't be kept in hospital overnight or longer.
Get lots of rest and don't worry about anything other than YOU getting better!
Love and prayers and good wishes and healing energies from us.

Kirsten, I'm just catching up with this thread now.
I'm so sorry to hear about all the pain you have been going through and that you had to go back in the hospital again.
I hope you are back home with your sweet kitties and feeling better real soon!:)
Thanks everyone!
I've got very bad news at the hospital. They said it's definitely not a normal reaction after a back surgery, and they're not sure whether it's just a seroma or cerebrospinal fluid that's leaking out of the spine. So I'm going to have another surgery, it's scheduled for next Tuesday. I'll be admitted to the hospital on Monday and will have to stay for about a week.
I'm very sad that I have to go through all this again, and that I have to leave my girls again! :( :( :(
Kirsten
A whole week! I really hope it's a simple surgery and you heal quickly!
AND - no looking after someone's kids while you are still in hospital, young lady! :love::love::love::D
Also, ask the nurses if there is any home or volunteer help available for you.
{{{{hugs}}}}
A whole week is normal here in Germany after surgeries. :( Also, they'd like to watch the wound after the surgery to be sure that no more liquid comes out.
As far as help for your house work goes... You only get it when you have little children.
And re. my room mate's children: Everyone in my situation would have done the same. :o
Kirsten
I'm so sorry that you are suffering these complications, Kirsten. I very much hope that this time the problem is sorted.
Kirsten, I'm so sorry to hear that you need more surgery.:( I hope that everything will go well and that you'll recover quickly without any more complications. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Kirsten, I will light more candles for you and in the meantime I send you healing gentle hugs!
Oh Kirsten, this is just too much, but I hope they will get it sorted for good this time. Bring some good books to read and relax all you can. I know it's no fun being in hospital, but if you can go home healed up, that's what counts. At least you can spend your day with Luna on her Birthday. :)
It was nice talking to you the other day.
((((hugs))))
So sorry about the complications Kirsten. Please take it easy until your next surgery and after this one please just stay in bed or in a lounger, on the sofa, whatever it takes to let your back heal. If it doesn't heal properly you'll be plagued by back problems forever, just not worth it. Decide right now that when you come home from this surgery you won't even look at the floors or anything else for that matter. Your furry bundles would much rather have you healthy than have a sparkling house, and how dirty can it get if you're alone...and most of all...who cares. It's your house, and you can leave it for the moment, the dirt won't run away.
I am sorry for the bad news Kirsten :( But I hope everything will be solved this time. And at least you will be at home for Luna's birthday :) Take care!
I am so sorry Kirsten- I hope this time they are able to help you!
Aw, Kirsten I just caught up with this thread. I'm so sorry you need more surgery. Prayers will continue here for you.
When you get home, please take it easy. I totally know what it's like having no one to help you. Let things go for a while until you are all well. If people don't like it, they can clean it themselves. :(
Just cuddle those furry babies and rest. It takes a while to get your strength back. :love:
Dearest Kirsten my heart goes out to you, you have had such a rough time of it lately, i certainly hope they can help fix the complications that have arisen and you will be on your way to a speedy recovery this time with the love of your furbabies, take care and i am thinking of you.:love::love:
Kirsten, we'll pump up the prayer volume so that your back troubles will be over and done with. You've had enough! Keep the faythe. :love:
Kirsten-
I'm sorry to hear this. Sending prayers your way for a fast, speedy recovery from this 2nd hospital trip next week.
:love:
Amy
Kristen-
I'm so sorry to hear about you having another back surgery. Please take it easy when you come home, you can clean later on when you feel better. I hope someone is there to help you with the litter boxes and such.
I wish I lived near you or I'd try to help you out.
Take care,
Melissa
Hi Kirsten,
I've been away for a week, so haven't been up to date on your progress until this evening. I'm so sorry to hear that you have to go back to hospital mate.
I think the important thing here is to heed everyones advice about cleaning.
Leave it Kirsten, it doesn't matter if you leave it for a while. Your place can be cleaned and tidied up after you have had sufficient rest and well on the way to healing. YOU are more important than a clean house.
Just relax and rest and tend to the kitties. ;)
J
Thank you so much for your support!!
I'm really scared to go back to the hospital, especially I fear the nausea after anaesthesia! I felt so terribly ill after the last one, and I just don't want to go through it again!! :(
At least it looks like the lump hasn't grown for two days. Maybe that means that whatever it was that's been leaking out has stopped by now. And maybe, if it has stopped, they won't open the entire incision but just puncture it. I don't know if that's going to happen, but I really really hope it may come to this, and I can avoid surgery. But maybe it's just wishful thinking...
Kirsten
My prays are with you.
Melissa
My kitties and I are all sending our love and prayers and good wishes and healing energies that the surgery goes well and you recover comfortably and completely, never to be plagued by those pains again.
{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} AND ~~~~~PURRS~~~~~,
Pat and cats
Thank you!
Well, I wish I had better news, but since yesterday, my condition is going downhill fast. Since Friday, there are spasms in my left foot (had them before I had surgery, but they were gone right after the surgery), and there's definitely a weakness in my left leg. I figure it's either the fluid from the lump or a new disc hernia that's putting pressure onto the nerves. Guess there's no way to avoid a new surgery, and I'm going back to hospital on Monday.
I'm so sorry I have to leave my girls again, it really breaks my heart!! Luna hasn't left my side this morning, she really tried to comfort me. She's such a sweetheart, but I know she and Lily will suffer when I'm not at home! :(
Kirsten
Prayers continuing for you here. Candles lit too. Remember we will all be with you in spirit!!! :love:
Awww, soak up all the love you can from your fur nurses now, and they'll know you will be thinking of them, as will we, when you are back at the hospital Monday!
Thank you! It's so sweet of you that you will keep my girls in your thoughts, as long as I'm away!
My last day at home here, and it breaks my heart to look at Luna and Lily, knowing that I'm going to leave them in a couple of hours! And I don't even know how long I'll be away! That will depend on what they find in the MRT, I guess. The worst would be if they had to close a leakage of cerebro-spinal fluid, because that could mean that I'm not allowed to get up for at least 10 days, not even for the bathroom! :( I really fear that. I have absolutely no idea what's going to happen to me when I'm in the hospital, and that's very scary.
Luna just almost made me cry. She sat next to me on the computer table, watching the computer games on Facebook. You know how much she loves that, and while she was watching, she has this happy and excited look on her little face. But no one's going to play with her the next days. :(
Kirsten
Kristen I'm really sorry you have to go through all of this. Hopefully you won't have to deal with any more after it's all over.
I know your going to miss them, but your girls will be fine while you are gone.
Many (((HUGS))) and I hope to see you up and feeling better in no time:)
I'm so sorry you have to go back, Kirsten. Many, many vibes going out your way for your recovery. The girls will be fine, focus your energies on healing yourself.
Thanks!! I hope you're right and my girls will be fine!! I'll miss them terribly!!
I'm tired now, and I will soon go to bed. I hope I'll be back from hospital soon. In the meantime, I will ask Tenna (Uniqueviking) to give you some updates. :)
Bye,
Kirsten
I hope it is something simple and you are home soon!
HUGS and prayers!:love::love::love:
Prayers for a quick and good result, Kirsten, come home to your kitties soon!:love:
Keeping you in my thoughts, Kirsten! I am sure your girls will be fine, kitties don't have the same notion of time as humans, they will sleep a lot ;)
Best wishes and love and healing energies to you, Kirsten.. and another candle: http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/...g&cid=10673140
Your girls will also be sending their healing energies full-purrs-ahead to you!
Looking forward to your return home, all better!
Prays that everything goes well.
I'll say some prays for the kitties too.
Melissa
