I have cancer....the road to recovery

[trayi52]

Sorry you had such a rough day, Slick. I will be praying that your pain subsides and you become painfree.

Gini, please let Slick know that she is still in my prayers, and I am thinking about her.

Ohhh, I hate hearing that she had such a difficult day.

Slick, you are always in my prayers and I'm now praying for a better day today with a little less pain. Hang in there, sweetie!

I just got off the phone with her night nurse, Sue. Slick had a good night although still in pain of course. She has a drip pain medicator, not one of those buttons she can control but that's a good thing as it keeps the meds going even as she sleeps. Sue said her mood and spirits were good, all things considered. No elevated temperature and all vitals are good. They will be getting her up for a short walk later today (it's only 5:30 a.m. there - shift change in another two hours). I asked Sue to please tell her that Gini and I will be holding her hands and she will have lots of friends holding her up during her walk, even if she can't see us she will feel our support. I could almost feel Sue smiling and she assured me she would let Slick know.

PS, KiKi is home!!!!

Thank-You for the up dates!!!!!!! I sure do hope that her nurse mentions that there are "lots" of good friends standing by, helping her Heal, and "spiritally" holding her hands!!!

You're in my thoughts, Slick! I hope you continue to have a positive recovery

[Randi]

Thanks for the updates Gini and Laurie! I'm sorry to hear Slick had a rough day yesterday, but I'm glad to know she had a good nights sleep. Hopefully the pain will be less each day. I'm sure she'll make the walk OK today!

Slick, I'm thinking of you non stop and wishing you a speedy recovery!!

ALmost exactly a year ago my husband had surgery to repair a nasty rotator cuff tear. The pain he was in! Remembering that my heart aches for our girl Slicker! But, I know that "this too shall pass" and she will be rollerblading around the hospital in no time!
