I have cancer....the road to recovery

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so glad to hear that Slick is now in a private room and is getting some decent food too. I hope that the nurses will take better care of her and give her pain meds on schedule so she won't be in so much pain. Lots more prayers and positive thoughts are being sent Slick's way. I also hope that Dr. Pete can be sent to her again so she can get a chance to cuddle with him.

I think I need to explain just a bit more about Dr. Pete. Slick said that her room doesn't have a door - it has a curtain - so it isn't all that private.

Because she needs to walk up the hall or use the bathroom - she can't have Dr. Pete with her every second.

Her direct comment was "this is Vancouver" and he could be stolen in a minute. Apparently that is why she had to put her wallet and keys in a locked vault at administration. It is a sad comment on our society today isn't it?

I just want you all to know that she loves Dr. Pete - and I am sure once she gets home - she will have plenty of time to get to know him and have some good talks!

I am quite certain that Dr. Pete will continue nursing her every minute when she gets home.

Thank-You Gini, for another up- date!!!!!!

If she is still in hospital this Saturday, I will go and visit her again and hopefully she will be feeling better. Unfortunately, I can't go during the week because the hospitals are fairly strict about visiting hours, and for me to get there on a work day, I likely wouldn't arrive until after 7pm (traffic is a nightmare; on Saturday it took me over an hour to get there). At least if I go on a Saturday, I can plan to visit with her for a while.

When I was there, her neighbour Betty took Pete home, as they had just been warned about a thief on the ward and the nurses had advised to leave nothing in the rooms. Hopefully after Slick has made it home I can go visit her there and show her all of the neat stuff Dr. Pete came with!

If I know anything, I will let you know.

I'm glad to hear Slick got a bath and a good meal- you really appreciate things like that
And if she can enjoy this it is the beginning of recovery. I am sorry to hear that the hospital was not safe for Dr. Pete! You shouldn't believe it- a doctor in a hospital

Slick,

Working in a hospital is O.K.


Until the paperwork has a face attached to it.

Be well, my friend.

Remeber,

when you fart, there is only a curtain between you and the world!

Gini, thanks for the continuing updates. I'd be lost without them.

I’m so glad to hear Slick has been moved to a private room - although it doesn’t sound all that private. However, it must have been wonderful to have a bath, and a yummy meal. Does this mean she’s got the chest tube out?

I hope she’ll be able to sleep well and the pain will go away. Now, we just need to hear some good test results.

I can’t believe that anyone would steal from a hospital - what a sad world! Ok, here we do need to keep valuables in a closed cupboard, but it’s in the room at least.

Sending hugs and wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thanks for the update, Gini!
