    My grand daughter in California just went through all this and had to have hers completely removed last month. She is back to work and doing fine so good thoughts and wishes coming your way that the wife will do fine!

    Prayers for you and your wife, Wom, with her surgery tomorrow.

    I hope you have friends and support where you are.

    You have all of us here.

    Wom, thinking of you and Mrs. Wom again today. Hope no news is good news.





    Guess who I thought of when I saw this?! But I wanted to see if it's really a wombat. Here is another one that looks rather like an Ewok, at least to me.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Thanks everyone, for your well wishes and prayers. Karen says to thank you all to.

    We arrived back home last night, and I have spent the day cleaning up the mess that my 18yo daughter has made

    Karen is ok now, and is recovering from the op.

    We drove down to Sydney last Friday for her appointment with the Anaesthetist, spent the weekend on the beach at my mothers house, and then on Monday morning Karen was operated on.
    A 1"x 3/4"x 1/2" tumour was removed from one of her parathyroid glands, and during the op she had some heart trouble, so when she left Recovery, they kept her in Intensive Care for a day and a night. She was taken to cardiology for some tests, and all was fine, but they kept her in hospital for another day to be sure. I suspect the heart trouble could have been caused by the aneasthetic....I've been told it happens sometimes.

    Anyway, all is well now. She's still moving a little slow...except when I cook for her, then she moves fast....hee hee.

    I'm so glad she is doing well. Yes, anesthetic agents can cause problems, and not only in humans. My cat, Duffy, who was just 11 at the time, arrested as one of the IV solutions was being given - he was going to have his teeth cleaned. Fortunately a bit of Epinephrine and some stimulation brought him round. He, also, spent the night in the ICU, as he was diagnosed with an innocent murmur several years ago. All is well now.

    Good news. Yes, general anesthetics can cause heart trouble...a friend of mine who has had two heart attacks has very limited options for anesthetic if she needs surgery.

    I hope you are spoiling Karen rotten, Wom! Karen, let the dust bunnies gather and add a bit of ketchup and salt to your hubby's cooking . Just rest and get well.
