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

[Cinder & Smoke]

Noon-ish Report ...

They're OUT and crusing Upper Sandusky in search of a sammich for Mom ...
(shudda ordered "extra" on the b'fast tray, Staci.)

She still sounded *chipper* ... but getting VERY sleepie ... said she better not go in
to fetch the BRD ... the couch would call and it'd be all over for a while.
Mom was hoppin out to fetch the BRD and tell the Kats g-bye for a while.

Staci said her "Buddies" from midnight shift had her room all "spiffied" up prior to her arrival at 6 AM ...
K-Y Jelly on everything (toilet, bed controls, etc), various "medical devices" spread about,
veggie soup in the barf bowl ... only thing they forgot was to short-sheet the bed!

Another Buddie assisted with the Screw Job ... said Staci was a one-gal Comedy Club in the O.R. ~
Jabberin on about the BRD and crackin jokes with the Sir Jury Guy.
Till they started *DRILLIN* her foot ... she TOLD 'em she could feel it and it HURT!

"Give her sum'more STUFF" was suggested ... and she doesn't remember much after that.

She's now lost her "Boot" ... replaced with Ace wraps and a rigid SPLINT that
starts beyond her toes, runs under her foot, around the heel, and up to almost her knee.

Prolly designed to NOT be too swift to *hopp* around in ... "crutchin" required.

By now they're probably pretty close to the M&D Ranch ... Nappie-Tyme about due.
Hope she sleeps well and wakes up pain-FREE.

So glad the surgery went ok, Staci, at least for the most part .

Keep us informed, Phred!

I am so glad to hear this. Hope you are feeling much better Staci.

[jennielynn1970]

Ow!!! I can't imagine having a screw put in my foot!! Hope it makes it heal better!

[RobiLee]

Thanks for the update, Phred.

Thinking about ya, Stac! Do what you are told to do and you are going to be all better.

Love ya!

[Randi]

Staci, I missed the first bit, but I'm glad to hear the surgery is over. Quite an extensive one it sounds. I hope everything will go smooth and you'll be able to walk again soon. Now get some sleep, and then get spoiled!

Big hugs - and take care!

[joycenalex]

8:30 PM Tuesday and All's Well

I caught her between "wakin up" and "puttin her jammies on" ...
Almost made some sense out of what she was saying.

Vicodin seems to work well ... she's a Happie, Sleepie, Drunk.
(And I guess pain-Free.)

So far she's *crutched* to the poddy room and the dinner table ...
next destination = the BED.
Dunno what's planned for tomorrow.

Say G-Nite, Staci!

[chocolatepuppy]

Glad to hear eveything went well Staci. I hope you're up and around in no time.

[zippy-kat]

Still thinkin' of ya Miss Staci - hopin' your sleepin' DOWNstairs and not UP!

[Taz_Zoee]

Glad your surgery went well....sorry for being able to feel it, that's scary.
Hope you are home with your kitties soon and able to get back on PT again.

[cmayer31]

Sorry to hear about the screwed foot! Glad that the surgery is done and that you're in good humor; at least with the vicodin. I hope that the recovery goes by quick and somewhat easy!

[Rachel]

Thanks for keeping us informed, Phred. Good to hear that the fix is in and the healing can begin in earnest. And thanks, God, for taking care of our Staci.

[4 Dog Mother]

Glad to hear that the surgery is over and things seem to be going well. Staci has such a sense of humor that I am sure that she kept that OR laughing. Get Well soon, Staci or a few of us may have to come a visitin'!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm glad to hear that surgery went well and that she's painfree. I hope that she'll recover quickly.
