I have cancer....the road to recovery

**Dorothy39** · 09-24-2006, 11:17 AM

Ya, I hope you got a lot of "Plastic silver ware and napkins that included the Mrs Dash), and all those large plastic bags with the draw strings too.

Slick, I hope your pain lessens with every new day at home. The main thing is that you catch up with your rest. Dr. Pete and Max will be there for you.

Take your time in posting on Pet Talk , We can wait as long as it takes .

Glad to hear that you are Coming HOME!!!!!

Quite a collection you came home with, Phred.

Didn't you get gloves? You know the ones with talc inside, they're quite handy for dishwashing and garden work.

Slick, in a few hours, Dr. Pete and Max is in charge! You'll be safe.

Get better!

(((((hugs)))))

Ahhh getting home from the hospital is so nice. All your familiar things and animals, of course!

Your own sheets, rugs and bathtub...
and best of all, you can go outside whenever you want!!!
*healing vibes*

Never crossed my mind to pilfer any gloves ... next time!

We should start a thread of just Hospital Tails -
most ex-patients could prolly write a whole book from the experience.

Hey Slick ~

Ya HOME yet???

**slick** · 09-24-2006, 04:24 PM

I'm home safe and sound and Max and Dr. Pete are here with me. I left with an empty fridge and I came home to a full one....a casserole from my neighbour, a ton of homemade chicken soup from a friend and a bunch of salad fixins from my catsitters.

I need a nap right now and later one I'll read this whole thread and respond to any questions...expecially about Dr. Joel.

Can I cut this hospital band off now???

What a relief to see you post, Slick!

You are an AMAZING woman.

**Catty1** · 09-24-2006, 04:29 PM

You rest up and just post when you can!

HUGS HUGS HUGS HUGS HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO glad to hear you are home. Nap all you need. We'll be here when you wake up.

Slick's home!! HURRAY HURRAY HURRAY!!!!!

I am so pleased to see you post. Now you munch your way through that fridge, sleep as much as you possibly can and we will hear you again when you feel a bit stronger, sweetie!

I can go to bed happy now! Hey, I've had a very tiring holiday, while you have been lying in that hospital doing nothing!

Oooooo, I think she might get me for that one!

Welcome home Slick. We've missed you.

**cyber-sibes** · 09-25-2006, 10:38 AM

Yup, it's true....
"There's no place like home"
"There's no place like home"
"There's no place like home!"
Sleep well, Slick!

My neighbour will be banging on my door in an hour to go for my short walk (as part of my doctor-prescribed physiotherapy) and I have yet to shower but wanted to report on my first nights sleep at home.

I was not tired until well past midnight but when my head hit the pillow, it was lights out and I slept solid until about 4:30am. Woke up in alot of pain so knew it was time for some meds. While I was waiting for the meds to kick in, I called overseas, then slept again until 7:15am.

Max has been totally velcro and has even slept on the bed for the first time in months.

Oh yes and I'm sure the doctor would disapprove, but I had a just a little nip of brandy before going to bed.

I'll write more later today, I promise.
