Prayers for Staci ~ *Screw's OUT* on 10/30/07 ~ Let the HEALING Begin!

[pitc9]

Glad to hear all went well and I was LOL at what they didn to her room!
That's great!!!

[gini]

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!♥♥♥

[ramanth]

Glad to hear all went well Staci!

[Cinder & Smoke]

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*!
(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!

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. 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! :

[shais_mom]

Good luck Staci!

Be-A-ware of me -
especially on Vicodin!

[gini]

Did anyone else notice that it is never dull at Staci's house - or her parents?

Good ole DAD!

So ... How many Mousie Traps did you & Mom buy today?
Mite be a good excuse to go to the Shelter and pick up a KAT!

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?

[Rachel]

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.

[pitc9]

Ewwww!!


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.

[Cinder & Smoke]

What a difference a day without Vicodin makes!
Tonight, She actually made sense on the first run-through!

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!

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*.

[Cinder & Smoke]

Miz Staci's still alive and reasonably well!

No Pain - the Tylenol still seems to work fine - Vicodin not needed.
Speech normal - sentences make sense!

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!

[shais_mom]

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....

thanks for the continued well wishes!
