Sally, I am so happy to know Andy is home and is in the comfort of his own bed. I bet he will love his dinner! Take care of yourself as you are caring for him. Harry must be thrilled to have his Dad home! Hugs to all!

Harry's all curled up in the V bit inbetween Andy's legs - underneath the table!!!! They're both fast asleep - I'm going to have to wake them up in a bit, dinner's in an hour....

EarthAngel · 03-16-2015, 09:41 AM

Love to hear how everyone is doing! I can just picture them fast asleep, so content! Happy for you Sally!

I knew Harry would make it up there, LOL!
Enjoy dinner.

Sally, So glad to hear that Andy is home and recovering. I'm sure Harry's glad too! What time is dinner? I'm on my way!

Oddsock · 03-16-2015, 03:09 PM

wow what a trooper. Wishing a fast and full recovery. Thanks for finding the time to keep us updated. Hope you all get the rest you need.

So happy Andy is home, hospitals are so depressing and you really cannot get proper sleep. There's nothing like your own bed for a restful nights sleep, doting nurse and comforting aid. (((HUGS))) Andy, Sally and lil Harry.

Sounds like you have everything spit spot and polished up to perfection as you always seem to. Things that would fell me like a tree seem to just fail to phase you much at all like nothing is too big for you. You are a toughie, Miss Sally!!! And on top of that, you cook like a professional chef, lady! Imagine getting to the hospital, checking Andy out and getting him home, and squared away(no easy feat for a post-op patient), Harry settled down from the excitement of having Daddy back home and managing a huge meal with trimmings! You are amazing.

I'm so glad Andy is doing well for what he's going through. He's pretty tough himself. Please give him and his furry little son Harry big hugs from Texas and allow yourself a second helping of whatever dessert you have in the house - you deserve it. I wish you had someone to spell you for a while so you could get out and about to stretch your legs and a deep breath, still knowing Andy's well-cared for.

Have a wonderful night now that hubs is home again. I know that must make you feel much better.

yorkiemini · 03-16-2015, 06:50 PM

I'm sure Harry is glad Daddy is home, and Daddy is glad to be home out of that ole hospital. Nurse Sally has it all under control it sounds like

Wishing the best for a quick and smooth recovery!

I REALLY don't like changing that dressing...it's in such a very vulnerable, tight-skinned kind of a place double eek!

It's sort of at the base of his neck/top of the spine. He had his bath this afternoon (he badly needed a bit of a soak....

) so I put the waterproof dressing over the 'ordinary dressing' - that was easy.

But then getting it off, without pulling on those staples, I was so scared. I did it soooo gently, but it was making him wince - horrible

. It wasn't really wet at all, but I dabbed it really gently with muslin, and then put the new dressing on....I couldn't wait for that bit - get it all covered and safe again....

At least he's eating, and beautifully-smelling now....

God bless you, I am so squeamish when it comes to things like that, scared of hurting the person or my pups.

Lilah Charm · 03-17-2015, 11:46 AM

Oh dear! That sounds awful

is it okay to use oil like olive oil to loosen the edge of the asdhesive or is it too close/ likely to enter the wound site? Works like a dream with band aids! Hugs to you darlin

Buster Brown · 03-17-2015, 11:51 AM

I missed this thread. I just wanted to add my prayers and best wishes for Andy. He is a lucky man to have you and Harry looking out for him.

dottiesyrky · 03-17-2015, 12:29 PM

Poor Andy, and you!! Sounds a horrible procedure to me, but Nurse Sally soldiered on and did it. You are very brave to take these things on and I admire what you are doing for your man Andy. But how good he must feel when the dressings are done, he has had a lovely soak, and to cap it all.....Your tasty cooking! Hang in there, soon be healed and you can take a rest from the intense nursing detail.
Thinking of you and praying the healing and nursing continue to go well.
Love and warmest wishes to all.
Dot
