Wom

[cassiesmom]

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.

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.

Wom, I'm glad Mrs. Wom came through her surgery ok and is on the mend. I'm sure she would recover much quicker if she had a decent caregiver. I guess you are doing the best you can though, all thing considered, being an Aussie and all. Welcome back to the fray mate.

Well yeah, I am a good caregiver. I have even bought paper plates to eat off so that she won't be faced with a sink stacked high with dirty dishes for her to wash when she fully recovers.
I'm good at that....planning ahead.

Yup.
I let her do some gentle exercises today.
I thought "Well I cooked tea and toast for breakfast, and yeah, the lawn needs mowing, it will be good for her to get some exercise".

I have tried to guess who you were thinking about Elyse....but no...I don't have a clue

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.

[lvpets2002]

Well I am glad to hear Karen is resting & doing good.. Yup Wom your cooking & cleaning shall begin.. Sending lots of Prayers & Huggss..

That's GREAT NEWS! Wonderful that Karen has come through all this and is now back home recovering with the Tender Loving Care (and cooking and cleaning) of her devoted husband.

Rest up, gain strength, feel better, Karen! We are sending loads of prayers and warm wishes and healing energies your way.
