Extremely Urgent Phred Needs Our Prayers

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I dunno about beer and any medicine you are on. They usually don't mix. I imagine the doc's sent you home with a whole bag full of meds, eh? They usually do any how.

Hope you get to feeling lots better real soon.

* Dawg Krunch
* "good" 2-Legger food from two stores

You are soooo loved Phred/John/Dad. That must help, at least I hope it does. Being loved by so many of these totally wonderful people *cough cough* that appreciate everything you have done and will continue to do must, and I hope will, give you strength. You are a precious gem among rough stones

"Loved by Many" ...

Yuppers; you don't know how much that helps!!!

Furry Family, Pet Talk Family and Fire Family ... couldn't ask for more!
---------------------------------

Sunday 5:30 AM, ~6 hours after Sir Jury, still groggy ...
Open my eyes and see a tall shape in the doorway ...
"HI! How ya feeling!?"

Leave it to Brian to sneak his way into ICU! He'd just said he was "Family".

12:45 PM ... Pat & Joan, Tracy & Deb, Jason & Amanda arrive and form up around
da bed ... Nurse Bobby has to *fight* his way in ...
He reminded the "mob" that visits were SUPPOSED to be limited to TWO "Family Members"
at a time ... I said I could only see two - what's da problem?
He and told "the Family" that I HAD *perked up* since they arrived;
then pulled the curtain across to cover the doorway on his way out.
"Family" stayed till about 3pm when another nurse looked in and "suggested"
the Mob might want to "leave for a while".

And then there were the PT Phone Calls ...

SORRY, to ALL who called and never really "got through" ...

Sometime on Saturday night I'd "X'd" a Contact Form - the THREE people the
Hospital would "talk to" about me ... Pat, Tracy, & my Sis were listed.
I didn't know they'd be almost *rude* to everyone else!

There were at least two or three Pet Talkers who "made" it to the ICU Desk phone ...
only to be "forgotten" between the Desk and my room! (All of 25 feet!)
I sorta remember hearing a few reports of "some lady" calling from a "Pet Place" ...

There were at least two "Lucky Ones" who got to Nurse Bobby - a really Nice Guy!
Johanna had a conversation with him that was immediately "reported" to me -
Bobby came in and said he'd had a long chat with "your friend from Cincy ...
Joe - JoeAnna - Joe?? ..."

How bout JoHANNA?
"Yeah! THAT's who she was! She sounded pretty worried,
I told her you were doin realy well!"

The other "Lucky Dawg" was Randi. - She got to Bobby, too.
He came in while the Fire Crowd was hiding inside the curtain ...
Bobby: "Scuse me; but I've got a Friend of yours on the phone -
says she's form DENMARK!
Anyone like to speak with her?"

I quickly filled Unka Pat in: "That's RANDI - a Pet Talker!
She really DOES live in Denkark! ... Please tell her I'm *OK*!"

Pat rushed out to do the honors and returned to pass Randi's Get Well Wishes!

Bobby later said THAT was a First for him - he'd never had an overseas caller
asking about an ICU patient before!

And Many THANKS to Miz Staci for taking the LATE-nite call from
Tracy & Pat on their way home after I'd been tucked into my ICU room!

I remember trying to tell Pat HOW to sign onto PT as "Cinder & Smoke" ...
then thought to suggest he might just CALL Staci and let her handle it ...

THANKS, Staci!! - You Did GOOD!

{{{HUGS}}} to ALL!
