Guest guest Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Well, , The surgery should be over. You must be recovering nicely. We look to hear how you are doing, when you get home. Hugs, Donna R Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in a nh. She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine. Re: Monthly LBDCaregivers Group Chat, 7/19/2007, 8:30 pm Thank you everybody for all the good thoughts. Yes, I stayed up almost until Midnight so I could have tons of beverages and 2 cups of coffee instead of my usual nightly one cup - since no food/drink after Midnight. Tried eating lots but couldn't do it - was queasy w/ nerves. I know I'll be cranky today w/out food & especially coffee - the migraine will be here soon... (it's 5'ish and I'm already thirsty - this is going to be a long day...) I'm such a big baby and this is the first major thing for me. Never even had stiches or anything broken growing up. The most I've had was some skin cancer cut from my forehead. What's scary is the 'big mystery' - reminder of mom's day when she was the medical mystery... They say it's cyst-like but not your simple cyst. So that's why they want to remove and biopsy from my bone. And if it's not infected, pack w/ bone graft from bone bank - if infected, leave and treat w/ antibiotics. I told them how I upset myself when reading 'amputation' when reading about stuff - and he said no amputation worries. I also asked if he thinks it's bone cancer - and he said he didn't think so, but wants to be sure what it is by biopsy. Luckily my SO and sister will be there w/ me today. And I have to spend the night, which is also scary for me b/c I truly hate hospitals, I get sick to the stomach just visiting. Anyway thanks for the good thoughts & vibes - I hope it carrys me through this fast & easy, until I can come home... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Hi , Gosh, I was thinking of you all day, evening and now this morning. Hope all is well and that you'll be up doing some Irish Clog Dancing soon! Courage Re: Monthly LBDCaregivers Group Chat, 7/19/2007, 8:30 pm Thank you everybody for all the good thoughts.
