I have cancer....the road to recovery

[pnance]

Did I hear group Hug?? count me in! Slick I'm sorry you've been in so much pain but hopefully once you get the sutures out it will start to improve. Glad to hear Max is taking such good care of you...but you don't want Max to work to hard so I think you should request a little at home nursing....I'm sure Dr. Joel would be more than happy to "help" Take care of yourself.

*HUGS* Slick you are so very deserving.

I'm sorry your having bad days, but it sounds like things are looking up. I loved the Dr. Joel description. Yum!

And I don't think I've ever seen a photo of Max either. What a handsome boy.

Max, sweetie, good to see you are on the job!!! I'm sure if anyone can make your meowmie feel better it's you!!!

Head kissies to you and luvies to both you and your mom!!!

For the past four or five days, I've been in alot of pain and the pain meds are only helping a bit. Tomorrow, I get a chest x-ray done at 9:30 and see my surgeon at 10:30 but knowing him, I'll be lucky to get in by Noon. I'll be getting my stitches out (chest tube site) and I'm going to ask him for some stronger pain meds. Not sure if he will comply, but it's worth a try. Not sleeping that well, but getting enough to see me through. Daytime naps are an everyday occurrence here.

I'm eating OK, just not as much which is a good thing as I'm down 17 lbs from just before the surgery. I need to keep on this trend....wish me luck.

I want to thank you again for all the love support being sent my way. For those of you who don't know, MOFF has been emailing me a flower a day. Each day I see a picture of a different flower from her garden. They are truly amazing and I think you should start a thread, MOFF, and show them all off. Love you, kiddo.

So sorry you are still in such pain. Hopefully you doctor will be able to help with that - be insistent!

So sorry you are still in so much pain, Slick. Hopefully the Doctor will give you some pain medicine that will help you handle the pain better.

I will be praying for you, and sending lots good thoughts your way. Get well soon.

Love ya,
Willie

Slick, I'm so sorry to hear that you're still in a lot of pain. I hope that everything goes well tomorrow and that your doctor will be able to prescribe something that will make you more comfortable so you'll be able to sleep well and be as painfree as possible. You're still in my thoughts and prayers. (((HUGS)))

I hate to think of you being in such pain. I hope the Dr. will give you something stronger so that you will be more comfortable.

Sending you more hugs!

Aw, shucks, Slick!
I hope they make you forget your pain if only for a second!!!

Lova ya back!!!

You are getting ready to have that x-ray, right now, and just think of all of there, holding your hand, and wanting to pounce on that doctor until he gets you comfortable!!!

My doctor is so good about making sure that his patients do not suffer needless pain. If you're home and not driving, then it is not going to hurt for them to give you something so that you can rest and recuperate faster!!!! You can tell him I said that, too!!!!

Love ya, girl! (Can't you just hear my southern drawl saying that?? )
Logan

[Killearn Kitties]

Yeah, just you tell that doctor what Logan said!
Hope it all goes well today.
