sharon OT, and jan colello OT

[Guest guest]

hi all,

i can handle 2 of donna's list of people. jan has been staying with jim in the

hospital. he was transferred from the hospital back to the nursing home. jan

was really upset about that as she is going to visit her best friend Meredith,

for this weekend. Meredith is having a big yearly christmas party and meredith

andher daughter paid for jan;s flight there for her christmas present. she wrote

sharyn, jims daughter , letting her know she is out of town for this weeekend.

jan is of course worried that the nh wont turn jim every 2 hours like they did

at the hosp to heal that bed sore. and to try to get him up and out of bed and

walking a little. jim i s not wanting to eat, he is just holding it in his

mouth. i told her, to enjoy herself this weekend that JIm giving Sharyn DPOA

that he made his choice and he now is paying the price of it. I am hoping that

jan is having a great time, and will worry and take care of jim when she gets

home, not to let it ruin her weekend right now.

As for me, the latest test results. I go back to Shands for a urologist appt

and a gynecologist oncologist appointment on jan 9 . near my left kidney my

lymph nodes and my renal aorta is dilated and is cuasingconcern. hopefully i

will dfind out more jan 9. and my pelvic mass is back and i am hoping the

gyn/oncol will come up witha nother plan to figure out how to get rid of this

space taht collects fluid in my pelvis and keeps me in alot of pain. again jan

9 hopefully i will have some answers.

other than that i am alive and functioning and having a hell of a hard time with

some people in my league. sigh i wont bore you with theh dtails. this si sso

aggravating .

well good nite, happy holiday and love and hugs sharon m

mentioned she hasn't heard from Meg. There have to be a few others. If you get

individual messages, please share that you have heard. You don't need to share

messages. Just if you hear from someone. Especially with the many we have who

might be ill or in the hospital.

Imogene, it was good to see a few messages from you this week. That makes

things are ok, if not better.

And Sharon, we haven't been hearing a real lot from you, but I have seen a few

messages, so you must be at least ok.

Anyone else you can all think of?

, let us know when you get into the Stages

another update on jim

hello all,

i am currently talkin g to jan she is grateful for all the prayers, they are

being answered. jim did spike a 102 fever at 4am today but is taking cipro and

is improving. he is recieviung oxygen thru the nose cannula. his color is

almost normal, his fever is back down. the hospital is great per jan. she said

he has a huge room and slept in a 'fairly comfortable' chair that folded down

into a bed. she said the staff is great and after asking jan what jim could do,

they got him up and walking some today. jim was abl to pull himself up from teh

wheelchair by holding on to the bars along the wall. jan is trying to feed him

but he wasnt swallowing so she let him try to feed himself he is eating and

swallowing, slowly, but he is eating. and jan was so excited that jim yelled a

her for trying to get him to eat. we both said he is getting his spunk back.

several days ago, jan noticed a small spot on jims back or backside, sorry i

forgot which, and pointed it out to teh nh, the hosp took a picture of it

yestrerday , it is now blistred. this too upset jan, she said she will go to

the ombudsman when jim goes back to the nh.

she said thanks for the prayers and please continue them and hugs and love to

all

Sharon, thank you so much for catching us up on how you are, and what is

going on with Jan.

Precious girl, I am so sorry for you and your health problems that I could

almost cry for you. All, I can do is beg you to keep us posted. I see my

Doctor on the 9th too. Let's share notes off List.

Thank you for telling us about Jan and Jim. Jan has, and is, going through a

terrible time of it. She needs our prayers more than ever. My heart hurts

for them, too.

Thank you, and do take it easy, (AS IF YOU CAN DO ANYTHING ELSE!!!!!!)
