Soo Looking Furrward to Surgery!! [GOING Home..]

[jennielynn1970]

Wait... she fell after the surgery?! I must have missed that in a post somewhere. I'm surprised they didn't give her some kind of crutch or cane or something to help her with balance.

Hope things are going better.

She had crutches, but did fall anyway, she was in a lot of pain, so that may have thrown off her balance further.


Taz_Zoe is Cindy, not Cathy! Gina is in the hospital, so Taz_Zoe's probably feeding the Ark.

Oh.... yeah, crutches aren't the easiest things to maneuver. I hated them when I broke my ankle twice.

The blood clots are the super scary part. Gosh. Hope they can take care of that quickly. Those suckers are no joke.

Oh no! I'm sorry Cindy...leave it to me to call someone the wrong name.

That's so sweet of you to care for Gina's beloved crew. No doubt she's worried about them.

Hugs, Kelly

P.S. Glad to see Gina's healing up and is now battling the boredom. Boredom is at least curable! Sounds like trashy magazine time (ie: celebrity rags)!! I adore reading those.

Gina asked me to update everyone, and sends her greetings. Taz_Zoe is now on vacation, but her parents, bless them, are taking care of Gina's ark for her, which is a great releif for her. She's having more pain again, and the fever has returned some. The surgeon came by again today, Gina's still having thrombosis forming in her leg, and that's what really hurts the most. Thank goodness for the morphine.

Gina is hoping to be moved to a higher floor tomorrow, and hopes that coverage will be better there, and she'll be able to access Pet Talk herself then.

Please keep Gina in your prayers, for healing, and for comfort, and help her also as she's feeling pretty lonely right now as well.

And she has a request!

Could each person post one photo and tell why it is their favorite? That will give her something cheery to look at when hopefully she gets better coverage for her pager.

Pet photo or photo of anything photo???

[Catty1]

I'd like to start a new thread for that - Photo Thread for Gina.

I'll do a first post - and if it doesn't work, will put it back in this thread.

Just an idea.

THANKS for the updates, Karen! I hope they get that thrombosis beaten! That's scary!

How's the patient?

[Karen]

I haven't heard from her yet today, she had been hoping to be moved to an upper floor, where maybe the coverage would be better for her Sidekick (her pager/computer) would be better. So maybe she'll be able to log in soon and tell us herself! But anyone who has ever been hospitalized knows how long such things can take - moving from one floor to another requires much paperwork - so I am not sure if that actually got accomplished or not.

I have had this big grin on my face seeing someone "spoke" in my language on pet talk!! HI GINA! so neat to see that.. gee, I hope the doctor still knows I could be still in pain with this grin on! (oh and, can't read your .doc attachment on this browser, will do so later when can later).

sorry about yesterday.. yesterday was absolute the lousy, awful and worst day EVER had since I was here. (don't you believe no news means good news anymore, do you..?) they took me off morphines ... by some miscommunications of authorizations. I pleged, begged and cried to sleep for some - I need my morphine every three or so hours to keep pain away but yesterday, the nurse I had also was sooo not-so-nice. then all of sudden I passed out (slowly stopped breathing) after sweating for 8 hours - fever have went up back to 104 something, they took me back to where I first was here, emergency room.. god, the nurse.. was so ingorant. thinking I was just a crying patient. and just mute..

now I'm back onto the same floor, but different recovery room on the opposite side. I was suppose to be upstairs yesterday into long-term care room - higher, which always means a better coverage but luckly since I'm moved back into a different room closer to and with bigger window, current signal works pretty good! I still miss my last window, it has a cute crooked tree to look at. now all I see are the next-door walls..

(to be continued ..)

Gina - hope you see your photo thread....Karen's idea!
