Wom

[cassiesmom]

Yay, Wom and Mrs Wom are back! Mrs Wom, my mom has had this surgery two times. Both times she was very hoarse afterward and had sore throats. Since then she gets her blood calcium level checked 2-3 times a year because it runs a little high; but otherwise, she is fine. The second time, the tumor was so slow growing that the doctor watched it for months before he decided to remove it.

It is just super to see you back and posting. Hey - a guy who is good to his wife - takes good care of her - and COOKS TOO!!! Pretty special
I think.

Seriously, good wishes that all continues to go well.

Well that's gotta be the understatement of the year.

Well I can't make it TOO GOOD, can I ???
I mean.....she might start EXPECTING IT.....hee hee

[cassiesmom]

Mrs. Wom, I hope you are feeling better and better each day! Wom, bless you for taking such good care of Mrs. Wom! (((hugs)))

My mom's calcium level is always a little high. Her lab's normal is 8.5-10.3 and hers is usually between 10.7 and 11.4. Her doctor wants it checked every 4 to 6 months, no exceptions. The closer it is to normal, the longer he waits.

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.

I just KNEW there was a spark of compassion in that scruff exterior!! You, my man, are a KEEPER!!! Karen is one lucky woman!!

I'm sitting here shocked, though. YOU, MARRIED WITH CHILDREN???

As for your daughter...aren't kids wonderful? You wait anxiously for them to walk and talk. Once they do, you can't wait for them to shut up and sit down!!

Mine is getting married on June 4. *shakes head, rolls eyes* A WHOLE OTHER EXPERIENCE!!

Feel Better, Karen!! Take advantage of it!!
