please keep me in your thoughts

I am so pleased you are feeling better since the fall and that you clued your doctors in about it. I am sure the meds helped a lot. I will thinking of you tomorrow, praying for a speedy recovery. Please, when you can, let us know how you are doing, or perhaps your Mom could come here briefly to give us an update.

I will try to get on here as soon as I can. IF and only if, they have to do the thru my back surgery, I will be in the hospital a few days. They said they would most likely do that the same day, if that is needed. I am hoping its not needed.

As long as I don't need the thru my back surgery, I should be home the same day. Just not sure when I will be able to be up and moving around.

I just wanted to post and let everyone know I made it through the surgery. I still have the big one in there and now I have a stint. I don't hurt nearly like I did. I think he takes out the stint in about a week and then he will decide what to do about the second stone.

Woo Hoo, good news

[mizzwanned]

Good news, im so glad you made it thru surgery

I spent my doped up time, in the bath tub....which was not a wise move...LOL. I kept waking up when I would slide down into the water.

I was wanting to go shopping right after the surgery. My mom kept saying no you don't. I got sick on the car ride from ann arbor to north of flint, so I guess she was right, I didn't really want to go shopping.

Doc says I should be able to go shopping tomorrow. My mom found really cute puppy clothes at burlington coat factory. So I am eager to go check it out.

Just wish I knew what was happening with the other stone. I can't wait for the stint to be removed as well. It doesn't hurt but its uncomfortable.

Poor Aurora doesn't understand why mommy doesn't want to play. Finally she curled up on my lap and slept.

I guess I should go rest, so that I can go shopping tomorrow

Oh Honey!! I am sooooo pleased you are through your surgery and contemplating shopping already!! Shows me that you're feeling so much better. Just one thing though, while you are "doped up" on pain meds, please do not take a bath without someone very close by! I would worry about you slipping/falling asleep in the water.
Hugs to you. Hope Aurora is keeping you company.

I made the mistake of not taking my pain meds until aroun 9 30pm....so now I am suffering. As bad as it is, its not anything like the pain I had before. My nephew stayed here to help take care of me while the rest of my family went out. They had plans that were made way in advance. I have the clock set so it can wake me in 4 hours to take more meds. I think I might try to nap.

I was very scared but it was definately worth the surgery to feel this much better.

[For My Coby]

I think you should hold off on shopping for a few days. Take it easy tomorrow, watch some soaps on tv, and give it a rest. You don't want to overdo.............

So happy you are being taken such good care of by your family. Is that not just the worst thing, the absolute fear you feel before the surgery??? You must be sooooooo relieved it is now behind you. Just don't over do things in the next few days, so that your body has a chance to heal.

I went out to eat, shopping and to visit my g-ma. I did do too much, I think, but tonight and tomorrow I am resting. I am kinda sore tonight. I have a bad habit of doing too much if I feel ok. I am back at my own home now and will rest. I definately have to stay healthy so they can get this second stone out whenever they are ready to. I haven't done my hair and makeup in so long, but I was up for it today. My hair has just been back in a ponytail, my neice didn't realize my hair was cut until today when I had it down and done all cute. I got on my makeup and jewerly as well.

Doc will have the results from the stone they removed, in about a week. He thinks they are uric acid ones. I started reading up on them, only 10% usually have that kind. Mostly men get those too. Usually connected to gout or chemo. No clue why I got it, if that is the type I do have. No point in worrying about it until he can tell me more.

I still haven't got a call from kmart to see how I was after the fall. Doubt I will hear from them. I wasn't sure if I should call them, but my mom says I should write the store manager and corprate offices.

But on a happy note, Aurora got new clothes when I went shopping. Burlington coat factory has such cute stuff. Might as my ex to snap a few pics of her showing off her new shirt and coat.

Glad to hear you're doing well!! I think I would write a letter. I think companies are more apt to respond to something in writing (make sure to make yourself a copy) than a phone call that has no permanent record.

Take Care.

[Roxanne_mi]

my ex said to scan the accident report and send copies with each letter as well.

I know I can't prove that the fall made me feel worse or its the cause of my er visit, so its not like I want to sue or anything. I just feel like a call to see how I was doing is not that much to ask esp when they said they would. My mom even heard them say oh yeah I forgot that door leaks....so they had issues with that door leaking in the past and it was never corrected. If it was handled before I wouldn't have fell. BUT I guess I should be thankful it was before I had the surgery not after. I am sure it would have been bad to fall that hard with the stint in. At burlington today, I made sure I was holding on to the cart the whole time, wasn't going to risk falling.

One great thing is U of M charity care even covered my prescriptions when I had them filled at the hospital pharmacy. I wish I knew that after my er visit since the ones they prescribed where over $50 and $100. I had to get other meds instead.
