Boy, talking on the phone within hours of sir-jury! I knew she was tough but gee whiz!!!

Thanks so much for the uppydates, Gini!

I did get a chance to talk to Slick yesterday morning as she was getting ready to go. She said we should all place bets on when she'll make her first post to PT after the sir-jury. She said she'd be in the hospital for a week and I told her my bet was that if she gets released in the morning, she will be ON PT before the end of the day. Maybe not posting, but on, then make her first post the day after she's home. However, if she doesn't get released until the afternooon, she won't make it on until the next day. I don't know about everybody else, but just being released is a tiring event and when you finally get home all you feel like doing is going back to bed!

Wonderful, wonderful news to start my day! Now.....if Kiki would only come home....

My phone rang a minute or two ago and it was her friend, Betty again. SLICK CALLED HER THIS MORNING!! She said she couldn't talk long because they had her up and walking. She said "CALL GINI AND TELL HER!" They were also moving her to the twelfth floor this morning. Not sure what that means - if it will be her permanent room.

She DID NOT remember talking to Betty last night at all. Hmmm, those were good drugs!

That's our girl! Up and at em bright and early.

Hip Hip Hooray and Thank you God!

Nice Color, Mom!

Yay, Slick! Walking in your cool slippers, I hope.

**gini** · 09-15-2006, 11:19 AM

I wanted to post something here about Slick's home address.

In all of our conversations, this is one thing I overlooked. Slick is a very private person and I don't feel comfortable about giving out her home address unless I have her permission - which I don't.

She is going to be recuperating at home for a long time - so could I ask all of you to wait until I can talk to her in person on the phone and ask if it is alright to give out her address?

I hope you all understand and thanks.

Gini, thank you for the continued updates. I am so proud of our Slick, coming around from this surgery so quickly! What a girl, she is!!!!!

I have been watching it, you have been in my thoughts and prayers Slick. (((Hugs)))

Glad the surgery is behind you slick and you are on the mend.

**Alysser** · 09-15-2006, 04:58 PM

I'm sorry I haven't replied in awhile, but I want to assure you I have been thinking and praying for you, Slick. I'm so glad that surgery is over with and your recovering!!

Still praying for you.

I am so happy to hear that your surgery went well Slick and that you are up and walking already.

Prayers and positive thoughts on the way that you have a full and speedy recovery.

You are one remarkable woman.

Fighting LES this morning!!!

Are you sure Slick wasn't looking for the cute male nurses?

**Randi** · 09-15-2006, 11:56 AM

Up and walking, that's our Slick!!

If I know her as well as I think I do, she's be "racing" around to check it all out. LOL! Hopefully she'll have someone to hang on to the first few days!

Debbie, I'll bet she'll be online within the first few hours of coming home!
