[krazyaboutkatz]

Kirsten, I'm sorry that you have to go back into the hospital. Hopefully you won't be there long and the doctors will be able to fix you up quickly. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

[Kirsten]

Thank you everyone! I really really hope that I can go back home after the treatment, and won't have to stay for the night, or even the next days. All I want is to be with my girls, and be with Luna on her birthday!

Dear Kirsten, I hope this can be repaired easily and you won't be kept in hospital overnight or longer.

Get lots of rest and don't worry about anything other than YOU getting better!

Love and prayers and good wishes and healing energies from us.

Kirsten, I'm just catching up with this thread now.
I'm so sorry to hear about all the pain you have been going through and that you had to go back in the hospital again.
I hope you are back home with your sweet kitties and feeling better real soon!

[Kirsten]

Thanks everyone!

I've got very bad news at the hospital. They said it's definitely not a normal reaction after a back surgery, and they're not sure whether it's just a seroma or cerebrospinal fluid that's leaking out of the spine. So I'm going to have another surgery, it's scheduled for next Tuesday. I'll be admitted to the hospital on Monday and will have to stay for about a week.

I'm very sad that I have to go through all this again, and that I have to leave my girls again!

A whole week! I really hope it's a simple surgery and you heal quickly!

AND - no looking after someone's kids while you are still in hospital, young lady!

Also, ask the nurses if there is any home or volunteer help available for you.

A whole week is normal here in Germany after surgeries. Also, they'd like to watch the wound after the surgery to be sure that no more liquid comes out.

As far as help for your house work goes... You only get it when you have little children.

And re. my room mate's children: Everyone in my situation would have done the same.

I'm so sorry that you are suffering these complications, Kirsten. I very much hope that this time the problem is sorted.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Kirsten, I'm so sorry to hear that you need more surgery. I hope that everything will go well and that you'll recover quickly without any more complications. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Kirsten, I will light more candles for you and in the meantime I send you healing gentle hugs!

[Randi]

Oh Kirsten, this is just too much, but I hope they will get it sorted for good this time. Bring some good books to read and relax all you can. I know it's no fun being in hospital, but if you can go home healed up, that's what counts. At least you can spend your day with Luna on her Birthday.

It was nice talking to you the other day.

((((hugs))))

So sorry about the complications Kirsten. Please take it easy until your next surgery and after this one please just stay in bed or in a lounger, on the sofa, whatever it takes to let your back heal. If it doesn't heal properly you'll be plagued by back problems forever, just not worth it. Decide right now that when you come home from this surgery you won't even look at the floors or anything else for that matter. Your furry bundles would much rather have you healthy than have a sparkling house, and how dirty can it get if you're alone...and most of all...who cares. It's your house, and you can leave it for the moment, the dirt won't run away.

I am sorry for the bad news Kirsten But I hope everything will be solved this time. And at least you will be at home for Luna's birthday Take care!

[Barbara]

I am so sorry Kirsten- I hope this time they are able to help you!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Aw, Kirsten I just caught up with this thread. I'm so sorry you need more surgery. Prayers will continue here for you.

When you get home, please take it easy. I totally know what it's like having no one to help you. Let things go for a while until you are all well. If people don't like it, they can clean it themselves.

Just cuddle those furry babies and rest. It takes a while to get your strength back.
