Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Maggie, good luck – we’ll be thinking of you. Try not to worry too much.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Maggie, I have not corresponded for a while as I was in the hospital with pneumonia. I am now at home on antibiotics. I am your neighbor up in Round Rock, TX. I am praying for you and am glad that your sister from Chicago will be coming in today. I am from Illinois and have two children in Chicago. With Love and Prayers, Norma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Maggie, I got through THAT WEEK by staying busy and keeping a positive outlook. Don’t dwell on the ‘what ifs’ because they won’t happen anyway. The medical staff really does know what they are doing. How long will they keep you in the hospital? We’ll expect to hear from you a couple of days after your release. I’ll be thinking about you that morning—are you in the central time zone? Barb surgery date Hello, everyone. Sorry I haven't really been around. I've been so wrapped up. Anyway, I will be having my lobectomy on Tuesday, April 20. I go in at 6am. I only have one week to obsess over it. I'm terrified.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Maggie, It is Norma in Round Rock, TX again. Are you having your surgery in Corpus Christi or elsewhere? Norma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 The surgeon said I'd be in ICU for three to four days and then in a regular room for a week maybe two. So there's no telling when I'll be back home. I'm central time in Corpus Christi, TX. My sister's coming in today from Chicago. She'll be down before, during, and after the surgery. She'll help me out so much. I'm so glad she's coming. She'll help keep my mind off things. Maggie > Maggie, > > I got through THAT WEEK by staying busy and keeping a positive > outlook.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Maggie, Since the surgeon is of Houston caliber and your family is close by, you have certainly made the right choice. I know how hard it is to be in the hospital and away from family and friends. Much love and prayers for you, Your Texas neighbor, Norma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 The surgery will be in Corpus. Almost everyone I know is horrified I'm not going to Houston. But the surgeon is of Houston caliber I'm told. All my family and friends are here. All the support is here. > Maggie, > It is Norma in Round Rock, TX again.
