Guess this means we can't kid you about having a screw loose anymore, huh?
Good luck m'dear! Hugs and prayers across the miles!

Staci, I hope that everything goes well tomorrow and that you have a speedy recovery.:)
Thoughts for you through the week. Enjoy the peace and quiet of the cabin. :)
Absolutely no screws loose for our girl!! Take that out of my foot!!!
Staci - many hugs and lots of support - for yet another round of stuff to deal with!
I will be thinking about you. Enjoy the peace and quiet and I will be saying a prayer or two that all goes well for you.
xxoo Mom #2

Prayers and good thoughts going out for you, Staci.
Thinking of you Staci.
Sending you {{{hugs}}}
Phred, I was LMAO at this: :D
M&M Recovery Center & Mouse Sanctuary :D
Good Luck today Staci!
Oops, a little late but I'm sending out well wishes to you girlfriend:D
Thanks for the updates, Phred. Staci, prayers going out for you for a successful operation today. Hope your recovery is smooth -- all treats, no more tricks! :)
Staci, hoping that the operation is over by now and the problems resolved. I'm presuming you won't have to stay there very long.
well I was home around 1230 not near as loopy as I was before altho I could still take a nice nap!!
I had quite a bit of pain during the procedure, my co-worker finally said something to the dr and he numbed it up again - the shot felt about like 4-5 bee stings all at once!! :eek:
I asked the dr if he was mad at me and he said he thought I was a tough woman I could take it and I said not when someone is unscrewing something out of my foot!
he wants me to be non weight bearing for 6 weeks. but I can go back to work in a couple weeks on light duty... mom said we may be doing our own thing! :eek:
i'll probably check in tomorrow but then after that I'll be txting zippy and she can give updates.
I think I detect some lingering Loopyness!Quote:

Are you sobering up at YOUR House or following The Plan at M&M's with
the Lonesome Mice?
Happie Trip up North!!
;)
(((Hugs))) Staci. Take it as easy as possible & heal up quick. :)
{{{{{{{STACI}}}}}}} :) Take it easy and feel better!!! :D
Glad to hear everything went well Staci!!
{{{HUGS}}} and sending you wishes for a speedy and FULL recovery!
sleep sweet staci, and pray tell...what will be your 'light duty' ?
Just got Stace's text. She's feeling kinda nauseas from a bad headache prob. caused by the pain and then the sedation. Please send some prayers her way....its hard for her to be given these orders to be off work for 6 weeks, AGAIN. She's fearful, as anyone else would be here, of having her job in trouble or the very least them being mad at her...
Lots of prayers, good thoughts and vibes being sent your way my sweet...
Love ya,
Kelly & Kits
XOXOXOXXOO
Sure hope you feel better soon Staci.
Oh my gosh... and here I thought things would be going better after the other surgery. I lose track of all these threads! I can't imagine being awake while a doctor is taking a screw out of my foot, actually, removing a screw from anywhere on my body!!
It's sad that you have to be afraid of losing your job because of a surgery that didn't work correctly or as it was supposed to. It's not your fault for goodness sake! Like you need more stress when you are supposed to be recovering!
I checked with The Patient about 8:40 PM ...
She was rather *alert* but suffering bouts of :eek: pain, throbbing, and aching ...
She'll take a Vicodin just before she settles in wiffa Mouse ... too soon and she'll
never make it to the bed! (And Mr. Mouse will be lonesome!) :p
The Bus Driver/Head Nurse has a prior engagement tomorrow ... going to Columbus to do -
get this - CHRISTMAS Shoppin! On Halloween???
Northbound Cabin Bus leaves about 4:00 PM Thursday after Mrs. Santa's sleigh returns ...
and Dad *IS* going along.
Purrayers needed for a restful and pain-FREE night; and a Safe Trip North tomorrow.
Oh, and God ~ Can you ask da Mouse to NOT *snore* too loud tanite?
:D
{{{Huggz}}} for The Patient!
{{{{{hugs}}}}} Staci.
I think 'light duty' should be mashing whipped cream pies into the faces of colleagues who are mad that you are not back at work (wait til you get back, though! :D )
Kelly and Phred - thanks SO much for the uppydates. :)
I'm really sorry to hear you were feeling so bad yesterday. I'm really hoping that today will be much better.
Another 6 weeks hu? Well if that doesn't just suck :(
Love ya girl
Doh! Lemme clear something up. Stace's co-workers aren't mad at her for not being there. They are being very sweet and supportive...I was saying that anyone in this situation would feel like their co-workers would loose patience.
Stace works with some good people, like she said, she's had one of them in surgery with her, looking out for her and wishing her well. I just wanted to offer some thought on what else Stace is going through, not "just" all these foot problems.
Hugs, Kelly :)
Stace, I'll call you at lunch or after work to check on you, sweetie. Get well and get rest. ((gentle hugs))
I'm sorry to hear about the pain you are in. :( I hope you feel better soon!
I think you read too much into the doing our own thing. Has nothing to do with Michigan.Quote:

like a happy medium after 3 weeks.
still in a lot of pain -
from back of hip to foot. Took 2 7.5 mg vicodin's to ease it. moving slowly and surely.
:) we will be out of email/some cell phone range starting tonite. So I'll be txting zippy and graciously agreed to update after this point!
Thanks for the continued prayers and well wishes! Keep em coming - i'm gonna need them! :D
Thanks for clearing that up Kel.Quote:

:) no worries :D
None of this sounds like much "phun" to me...............I hope you can get the pain under control and it eases soon. Lots of shock going on with that ankle for sure!
Big hugs to you and I hope you feel better soon.
xxoo
You poor thing, did you have this type of pain after the last surgery?? Owie, bone pain...surgical pain too...is horrid. I hope you feel better soon, honey. If there's anything I can do, let me know.
Hey, any luck on that paperwork we were discussing? From the hospital or either of your MDs offices?? Let me know if I can do anything on my end to help...I'll make phone calls or do whatever to help. Just say the word.
Hugs,
Kelly :)
"Captain Dad" is Flyin the Bus, Mom's co-pilot, Staci's watchin TV, BRD is sound asleep ...
estimated to be 50 Miles and an Hour away from the Cabin in Michigan.
Dinner still to be decided upon - the cookies & crackers are gone.
RAIN for the last half hour ... might be SNOWmobile Tyme before they head back home.
Staci reports The Foot is getting "throbby" --- but it's been riding around ALL day!
She & Dad ran errands; visited da KATS at Staci's; made an emergency purchase of
a Nephew/GrandKid Halloween costume - with delivery before the party ...
and that was all before 2:00!
Mrs. Santa got back early and they all departed for Michigan at 3:00 PM.
Staci is "armed" with Books, DVDs and VCR tapes --- a "quiet" week is planned!
I got a text about 7.40 last night but didn't find it until a couple hours later. And because my internet doesn't seem to be too reliable lately, I'm just now posting that Miz Staci arrived safely at the cottage.
Heal quickly and quietly, Miz Staci!
Hope you're taking it easy Staci!! Get well! :)
Thinking about you this morning, Staci. I hope your pain is under control and you can have a good quiet rest.
I just sent Stace a text message to see how she's doing. Will let you know if/when I get a response...I know she's in an area lacking in cell range/coverage.
Just thinking about you, Stace. I hope the pain is gone or getting close to being gone soon...and that you are doing well.
Love ya, Kelly :)
OXOXOXOXO
meanwhile back at the ranch....
we are home. had a nice restful end of the week.
now I'm just muddling thru my emails.
pain finally went away thurs morning when I awoke with virtually no pain.
:)
trip home was uneventful I watched MONK and CSI... :D
Saw the dr today. Got the Bandage changed. Incision looks good.
No pain -
STILL wants me off it for 6 weeks. Pretty adamant about it. :(
But I told him I intend to go back to work in 4 weeks (from Surgery date) with restrictions. Which means wherever I'll be I'll be crutching or wheeling my way around the hospital.
I just can't believe this is STILL going on....
:( :confused:
Wanna take *bets* on who wins this argument?Quote:

Take it from an old lady of experience, Staci. Don't overdo it!! If the doc says 6 weeks, take it. Going back to work always seems okay in your head until you get there. After you're there, it turns into you trying to do more and more and more so your co-workers won't have such a heavy load. I know that's the way I am and I end up regretting it. Take it easy and feel better!! You don't want to re-injure the foot. :)
