Prayers for Staci ~ *Screw's OUT* on 10/30/07 ~ Let the HEALING Begin!

[NoahsMommy]

You poor thing, did you have this type of pain after the last surgery?? Owie, bone pain...surgical pain too...is horrid. I hope you feel better soon, honey. If there's anything I can do, let me know.

Hey, any luck on that paperwork we were discussing? From the hospital or either of your MDs offices?? Let me know if I can do anything on my end to help...I'll make phone calls or do whatever to help. Just say the word.

Hugs,
Kelly

"Captain Dad" is Flyin the Bus, Mom's co-pilot, Staci's watchin TV, BRD is sound asleep ...
estimated to be 50 Miles and an Hour away from the Cabin in Michigan.
Dinner still to be decided upon - the cookies & crackers are gone.
RAIN for the last half hour ... might be SNOWmobile Tyme before they head back home.

Staci reports The Foot is getting "throbby" --- but it's been riding around ALL day!
She & Dad ran errands; visited da KATS at Staci's; made an emergency purchase of
a Nephew/GrandKid Halloween costume - with delivery before the party ...
and that was all before 2:00!
Mrs. Santa got back early and they all departed for Michigan at 3:00 PM.

Staci is "armed" with Books, DVDs and VCR tapes --- a "quiet" week is planned!

I got a text about 7.40 last night but didn't find it until a couple hours later. And because my internet doesn't seem to be too reliable lately, I'm just now posting that Miz Staci arrived safely at the cottage.

Heal quickly and quietly, Miz Staci!

[Daisy and Delilah]

Hope you're taking it easy Staci!! Get well!

Thinking about you this morning, Staci. I hope your pain is under control and you can have a good quiet rest.

[NoahsMommy]

I just sent Stace a text message to see how she's doing. Will let you know if/when I get a response...I know she's in an area lacking in cell range/coverage.

Just thinking about you, Stace. I hope the pain is gone or getting close to being gone soon...and that you are doing well.

Love ya, Kelly

OXOXOXOXO

meanwhile back at the ranch....
we are home. had a nice restful end of the week.
now I'm just muddling thru my emails.
pain finally went away thurs morning when I awoke with virtually no pain.

trip home was uneventful I watched MONK and CSI...

[shais_mom]

Saw the dr today. Got the Bandage changed. Incision looks good.
No pain -
STILL wants me off it for 6 weeks. Pretty adamant about it.
But I told him I intend to go back to work in 4 weeks (from Surgery date) with restrictions. Which means wherever I'll be I'll be crutching or wheeling my way around the hospital.
I just can't believe this is STILL going on....

Wanna take *bets* on who wins this argument?

A Crutchin she did go ...
A Crutchin she did go ...
Hi-Ho and Merrie-O ...
A Crutchin she Did GOooooo!

[Daisy and Delilah]

Take it from an old lady of experience, Staci. Don't overdo it!! If the doc says 6 weeks, take it. Going back to work always seems okay in your head until you get there. After you're there, it turns into you trying to do more and more and more so your co-workers won't have such a heavy load. I know that's the way I am and I end up regretting it. Take it easy and feel better!! You don't want to re-injure the foot.

Stitches out on Tuesday. Still on crutches for another month.
Going back to work with restrictions on the 26th. Which means that they couldn't find any place for me in the rest of the hospital but my department agreed to be able to use me. I originally had thought I would be working day shift but I'll actually be working 3-7pm everyday, and a health fair on a Saturday. I don't care I'll take it! the 4 hours will help me transition into working full days I think - I've been off so long I am sure I'll be worn out going back to work!!
So that's my update!

[cyber-sibes]

It's so good to hear that the pain is going away, yeah! This really turned into quite an ordeal. Still sending you lots of prayers & healing vibes ...a big ole belly rub for the BRD!

Hey honey,

GREAT news that you get to return to work in a way that you'll be able to ease into it. I know docs have thier 'by the book rules', but you know your body more than anyone else...do what YOU feel is right.

I wish you lots of luck and will be praying when you go back to work on the 26th.

Hugs,
Kelly

Poor Baby!

We should all send a Prayer that Miz Staci has a quiet and pain-free
"First Day back at WORK" on Monday - (Monday, November 26, 2007).

Hopefully the Hospital will find something challenging to the mind but not the body -
'specially da FOOT.

Have a GOOD Day on Monday, Staci!
