Angel Report on Jackie- from Joycie the Angel- flapping all over the place

[Guest guest]

Hello All-

Here is the latest on our beloved newbie Jackie. She came out of surgery

after 4 hours. She had open WLS and they removed her galbladder(spelling?).

They also took a liver biopsy but thank the Lord she came thru the surgery

very well. So well that she had no need for ICU, respirator, oxygen....none

of it!!! I am thrilled as all of you lovely people who are PRAYING FOR HER

MUST BE. She was in recovery for about an hour and then was sent to room 361

at JFK hospital in Atlantis, Florida.

If anyone is interested in calling her, they plan to have her up and about

tomorrow. Today on a scale of 1-10 her friends said she was at level 5 with

pain. I called them and said today she should be knocked out and they should

tell the nurses.

The # to call is: room 361. Here is a tip...if you dial 1010636

and 1 and area code and # the call will cost you 4.2 cents per minute and

it's a nice way to say hello. Her name at the hospital is Jacqualine Leccia.

Tomorrow is my shift and I am reporting for duty around 10am. I am breaking

for lunch with another WLS patient of Dr. Marema's that has been my computer

friend for a year and lives in my geographic location but for one reason or

another we have never met.....now...Jackie is the catalyst. God certainly

works in funny ways. Then I will be there till around 4pm. Depends how tired

I am. Remember I am not well myself and have a week immune system; hospitals

and I don't work well together. But, I am being positive about this entire

experience.

Her best friend Lynn just called to say the pain level is better, she sat up

and cracked a joke or two and went back to sleep. The dr. counts today as

day 0 and tomorrow is day #1. He intends on keeping her 5 days. Sure is

different from my lap. I was in and out in 3 days.

So, those prayers are working; continue please. Many thanks from Jackie, her

Angel and her team.
