I'm back home!! (update #81, home again - for now)

[Catty1]

Where are all the people that were there in 2004? Do they know you had surgery?

Let your floor stay dirty!

I wonder if your insurance covers any home help, or even if there is a volunteer group somewhere in your city. Please look into that!

All I can do is offer suggestions...I hope you see your doctor again to get that bump checked.

{{{hugs}}}}

Kirsten, I understand you are worried about the swelling and you should demand your doctor do something about it - unless it is a normal effect from the operation. If you're supposed to be in bed resting, then it's really not a good idea washing floors! The dirt is not going anywhere, but will be there for you (or someone) to tackle it WHEN YOU ARE READY!

It's disappointing that no friends or family are there to help you. You must be entitled to get some help! I'm so sorry you have go though this.

Have you thought of applying for disability?

I hope the swelling will go away soon and you'll feel better!

Take care!

(((hugs)))

Gosh Kirsten - that lump certainly does look somewhat scary. What are the doctors doing/saying about it??? I had back surgery, and never had anything like that happen. I'd demand some answers - and now!!!

As far as cleaning - the heck with it. Just how "dirty" can it possibly be with just you and the 2 furkids??? It's not like you have kids running in and out all day. Just leave it until you feel better. You're not helping the healing process any if you exert yourself beyond what you feel that you are able to do. Try to relax and don't stress over a little dirt or messiness - it will still be there when you're feeling better.

And get some answers from those doctors............

So sorry for all the hardship. Glad you are home.

Kirsten, I will light more candles for you. I am just so sorry that you are going through all of this and the worry that it is causing you.

Now about that dirty kitchen floor - embrace it - it's your dirt and the kitties too - and it isn't going anywhere........and DOES NOT need to be cleaned again any time soon.

The most important thing is you - and your healing and well being.

Now listen to Gini and the others,don't be cleaning that floor again, i know it is hard to see it getting dirty especially if you like things nice and clean,but try and let it go for now, YOU and your healing is all that matters right now, i am so sorry you have no help, are you not entitled to anything from your government while recovering, i wish i was there to help you, but alas i can only send you love and hugs and get well wishes, take much care now, and leave the cleaning for now ok.

Kirsten,
I'm sorry you are having setbacks. Don't try to clean...it's not necessary yet.
Feel better first and then worry about the other stuff...If I was closer I would come help you recover.

Kirsten, when we die, we'll be buried in dirt. So leave the cleaning for some other time. Right now you need to heal and you can't do that if you're cleaning your house.
