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

[sandragonfly]

hi all ... sorry for bumping this up. this will be the last one, it's hard to keep up with you guys.

catty, your question - I walked to library with my pink walker. I wasn't suppose to, I only bear very little weight on toes. and now I think I overdid because the killers aren't really helping me right now. the circulation must have done the big part in this? ...sigh, how was I suppose to know, I was very careful.

and no, no lift at all. they don't care.

first physical therapy this afternoon was tearful and painful. the guy had a high expectation of me - which is a compliment for me but I still have a long way to go. bending knee was the worst, he almost had me throwing up thrice - nerve pinching pain. we don't communicate but we gesture.

my knee is only duwn to biggest grapefruit-size...has been a month now. before he came later, my temperature was near to 102 again and the food (toasts or avocados) didn't stay down.. ugh.

I'm tired of being sick and sick of being tired, and it does not help where I am recuperating. I don't know when I'll be back, but please remember how much I am grateful for you people and friends that had me going though at the most of this recovery - thank you everyone again for support and thoughts, means more thank you know. hugs.

{{{{hugs}}}}

At least you have started your physio...hopefully it will hurt less and less, and the circulation will maybe help the healing?

Update when you can...if I understand you ok, you have to focus on surviving and getting well right now.

Prayers and hugs - just know that many people are on your side and wishing you the best.

I don't know when I'll be back ...

Anyone know what the above statement meant?

Has anyone heard from Gina in the last two days?

[Karen]

Gina asked me to update you all. She has left that house, and is on her way back to New York. She is driving with her left leg, mostly so is getting used to that.

Please keep her in your prayers for a safe journey, she'll probably not be able to update us again until she's somewhere stopped with a good connection.

[Catty1]

Thanks, Karen - do you know if the Ark is with her? (Silly question, but stuff can happen)

[Cinder & Smoke]

Gina has left that house, and is on her way back to New York.

She is driving with her left leg mostly, so is getting used to that.

Now why doesn't that news surprise me?

Is she carrying any of her medical / surgical records with her?

Did she have a conversation with the Knee Surgeon before deciding to make this trip?

Good Luck!

[Catty1]

From what I gather....her decision is preferable to where she was staying.

I do hope she has a safe trip, and that her Ark is with her.

I am sure if she had all this to do again, that she might have someone look after her Ark when she was away.

I'm sending prayers...

[Karen]

I do not know the answers to any of those questions, and it was not a happy exit, I just ask that you all keep her in your prayers during this difficult time.

Did she get the printed out statement to carry with her about needing a translator/go-between in the enevitable event something happens on her way back East?? Who knows...
