Saturday, April 4, 2009 | A General Update story

well as my luck has it day 2 in the hospital enabled them to get me sitting in a chair, after a couple hours  of sitting , on standing up I discovered that 'I sprung a leak', causing me to have to go back in surgery the very next night. Basically I went in Tuesday AM and was back home by late Friday afternoon.

 

Everyone here is awesome! They took up a collection, bought me a housplant. On checking in the hospital one of the admitting ladies gave be a beautiful 'angel pin'. and on the bed when I got in after surgery was a homemade quilt in pink, blue and white..very beautiful!

 

I am having the VNA come around. So she was able to change my dressing and it does feel a tad better....I will have tempory help geting things done around the apt...as long as is needed...

 

in about 2-3 weeks I am getting a new little buddy to have here. Seems our maintenace man's family has birds for pets and one just had babies...I was one who had been asked if I would like to have one...also the other gals wil be taking up a collection to get me a cage and some seed to get us going right...it'll be nice having another one in here with me..:)

 

my followup is for weds....4/8...he said he removed 4 nodes and they were all 'negative'....the rest we hear as I see him.....

 

take care my friends and hang in there!

    I'm so glad your surgery went well. I also am glad you have a vna coming in to help you as long as you need it. Good news the nodes were negative, praise the lord. That is so nice of the collections people took up for you. Its nice to have positive people in your life that care. Get well soon. Kelly
