Very good news! I think the first few days are the most difficult, I hear you about the pain med button...LOL. I hope she does punch the button when she needs it. It sounds like she knows that too much can mask realizing a real problem exists and is taking the challenge of recovery into her own facilities. I like that, too. For me, the faster I gain control, the faster I am back on my feet. I do hope she has a speedy, pain free recovery. Tibbe will be so happy she's hugging him again. Thank you for the update. You're very sweet to share the info!

Jeanie is always very positive, caring, and sweet. She switched yesterday from the pain pump to pills. She doesn't tolerate medication very well, and the infused medication was too strong for her; it did a better job controlling the pain, but she hated how she felt on it. The pills seem better, although a smaller dose more often would probably be better for her. Thanks everyone for thinking about and praying for Jeanie. She greatly appreciates it, and so do I.

I wanted to check in on precious Jeanie and her little man Tibbe.....thrilled things seem to be going so well! Continuing to "hit my floor on my knees for her" and her precious little man.....thank you for caring for Tibbe while Jeanie recovers....we all know peace of mind when our babies are being well cared for......she can totally concentrate on getting over this "glitch" in her life fabric.....God is close and watching over you Jeanie.....

I have been calling and speaking to Jeanie every day. I just don't want her to get lonely. Yesterday she mentioned they talked about her going into rehab for a short while until they were sure she could take care of herself. I figured it wouldn't be long, since she was no longer on infused medication pain wise, but she was still on IV for potassium and other things. Sometimes I needed to call a few times until I was able to reach her.

When I called a little while ago, they told me she was discharged. I don't have the name of where she is. I told Jeanie Sunday night that she could text me if she was lonely and that I would call her. Hopefully someone will show her how to do that if she remembered to take my number. I call her home number, and I didn't think to take Jeanie's cell phone number. I hate not being able to get in touch with Jeanie. If I don't hear anything for a little while, I will ask Veronica for her sister's or her son's phone number, but at this point I don't want to bother anyone.

Thank you so much dear Lisa for calling Jeanie every day and keeping in touch with her. I am sure she so much appreciated the caring. :)
I am sorry she has had so much pain and most probably discomfort, but hope she is tolerating the oral pain meds she is now taking. Great news that she has been discharged from the hospital and will now be well taken care of in a rehab facility until she is strong enough to go home and manage her own care. Even then I feel she should have some home helper for a few hours a day to ease her into the daily essentials of life.
Hope that you are soon able to locate her current 'home' and that she will again be able to talk with you.
I pray that our beloved friend Jeanie will continue her recovery and that she will heal as quickly as possible. When she is ready I hope she will update us as to her status and what the actual surgery entailed. I gather it was partially an exploratory surgery and she did not know what exactly the surgeon was going to do or find until he went in there. Hoping that the surgery was minimal and that she will be cured after this is all over. Poor Jeanie, she needs a break and some time with good health.
Please again give her my warmest wishes and love. Thinking of her always and praying hard that she is back here with us soon.
Hugs, Dot xxxxxx

Thanks so much for keeping us updated. I check daily for them. I sure hope she does text you.. I am keeping her and Tibbie in my prayers

Good Morning Jeanie
 

I hope and pray each day will get a bit better for you. Surgery is not fun:(

I am so glad you are doing better sweet lady...hugs

Sending prayers for our sweet friend jeanie. Hope you can find her. Some rehabs let patients
visit with their dog. It's healing to see them. Perhaps Tibbe could be brought in for a visit. I sure miss Jeanie and ask the Lord for a healing touch for her.

Thank you Lisa for staying in contact with Jeanie. I am glad she is discharged as now she is now onto rehabbing. I hope you will be able to find out where she is and get back in touch with her.

Praying for and thinking of you Jeanie.

Hugs, Dyan

YOU, young lady, are AMAAAAAZING!!! :D

Everyone in this world needs a friend like you, and we're all so very, very proud to know you :) Love and hugs from one of the British contingent :D xxx

I would like to second exactly what our lovely member from the UK just did.:thumbup:

Tibbe many hugs coming baby soooo glad your Mom has been released and on her way to coming home since I'm sure there is some rehab to help her along.

Could you understand all that Tibbe, that's OK, just be patient.;)

Too late to edit post #73 and change the wording a bit.

I didn't do anything that anyone else would do with someone they've grown to care about as much as I have with Jeanie. Thank you, however, for your kind messages and hugs. The same is true for both of you and I also send my hugs back to you.

Hi Jeanie its Gail stopping by for a chat
 

Well Jeanie it is a sunny and hot Monday here in the good ole city of Toronto.


We did go dock diving yesterday with all three of our dogs! Such a grand time and a beautifull day as well.


I know how much you enjoy seeing our dogs jump and I am busy uploading our vids to you tube and will post all the links here so you don't have to go hunting around for them.


I really miss you here, and think about you a lot. In quiet moments and in the still of meditation I send my love and such light as I have out to you and wrap you in the light.


I muse how your rehab is going and dearly hope that you are not in too much pain. Take those pain pills as you need them.


I await Lisa or Ann to let me know how you are doing - I sure hope they can get that phone number of the rehab place.


Okay what else is going on here? As usual the big boy needs grooming and wee Razzle too. Just usual common stuff of everyday life. Groceries n cleaning yawn boring boring!


Get back here soon Jeanie!

I finally spoke to Jeanie this morning. I was really relieved when she called me. I was very worried about her, particularly since I no longer had a number to reach her at. Along with the number of the rehab facility that she's at, she also gave me her son's and sister's phone numbers. I wouldn't call them unless I absolutely had to.

Jeanie was discharged early Friday evening, and she is at a place called Remington Medical Resort in Richardson. Her stomach still is very upset, but as the day goes on, she feels a bit better. The doctor told her it was a little early to be leaving the hospital, but he didn't think Remington took patients on weekends. Jeanie said it's much nicer there than the hospital, but she was also complimentary towards the hospital. Hopefully she will only have to stay about a week, but once she comes home she will be able to have a nurse check on her twice a day and also someone to stay with her for a couple of hours a day.

Jeanie greatly appreciates all of the love, prayers, and good wishes everyone has given her and also Veronica (Chibiluv) for taking such wonderful care of her precious Tibbe, and I feel the same way.

Remington Medical Resorts - Richardson, Texas

I am glad Jeanie got in touch with you, Lisa and thank you for letting us know how our dear friend is doing. The rehab facility sure is a wonderful place to be recuperating and getting all of her needs met. Praying she continues to get stronger and is home soon.

:) I love you to bits, Gail....you're one of the most up-lifting, down-to-earth ladies that I've ever had the pleasure of knowing....God bless you :)....

So, young Jeanie - 'over here' - my family (yep, Andy, too) is missing you. You're always on our minds, as is your little boy :heart to

Please be ok soon xxx

I got to talk to Jeanie today, sounded like she's making slow and steady progress. I even put her on speaker for Tibbe to hear her voice. She offered to get someone else to watch him which is sweet but poor little guy has had enough change, he is settling in here and has been the perfect little house guest. I like how his tounge sticks out of his mouth all the time lol. I reassured her that he is welcome to stay as long as she needs him to. We are all sending our love and healing her way.

Tibbe says hi and thanks for all the prayers for his Mommy!

:) Ohhhh, I bet his head was going from side to side as his mummy was speaking....

Tibbe still always looks like he's smiling...God bless him. All our love to you, Jeanie + Tibbe :) xxx

What you are doing for Jeanie and Tibbe is one of the kindest acts a person could do for another. Every time I turn on a TV or radio I am bombarded with all these horrific acts going on in the world. It refreshes my soul to to read about what you are doing to help Jeanie during her difficult time. Thank you.

So sweet you are helping out. Having someone taking care of Tibbe is a relief for her I'm sure. Tibbe you are a handsome little fellow!! Glad to hear surgery went well and progress being made.

So happy you heard from Jeanie and that she is doing okay. It will take time And the picture of Tibbie is adorable. I think of them both daily

So happy you hear from Jeanie and that is going well for her. Prayers still continue.

Veronica that is an adorable picture of Tibbe, I just know he loved hearing his Mommy's voice.

How sweet! Thank you for taking such good care of Tibbe while Jeanie is recuperating.

Thank you Lisa and Gail for your updates.

Keeping Jeanie in my thoughts and prayers and looking forward to having her here on YT again when she is up to it.

Thank you so much for the updates and things sound positive. Jeanie continues to stay in my prayers.

Jeanie, you are always on my mind and no matter how busy my early morning part of the day is, I must get here first.

I am praying for you and little:aimeeyork Tibbe and will continue to until you are back doing cart wheels again:)

Love Ya Gal,

Joan

All of this is why I love Yorkietalk so much, how people pull together to support each other. At times there's negativity, but all of the beautiful things that I witness so much of the time overpower anything negative I ever see.

I came to Yorkietalk when my sixteen year old little girl, Ashley, had irritable bowel, and I was trying to learn more ways to help her. She was under the care of a vet that I love, and at that point, I was having her seen every one to two months, just for my own piece of mind. I'm usually pretty shy and quiet, and I never expected to become as involved in the community. Ann and the YT community made it so welcoming here and the tone so warm and accepting. When I lost Ashley close to her seventeenth birthday, people were so supportive. Nobody made me feel silly for staying on a dog forum for almost two years without even a dog in my life. At times I felt silly, anyway, but that was in my crazy mind, but I just couldn't leave. I had grown to care so much about the people and pups of Yorkietalk.

My dear friends, who I met on YT, found Katie for me from an amazing show breeder. They joined together without me knowing it, and then they convinced our breeder and me that we could give Katie a great life. When I was unable to travel to get Katie and our plan of having a show breeder bring Katie with her when she was showing her dogs closer to me didn't pan out, my dear friend traveled a long way to get her for me. It was something I was unable to talk her out of. I celebrated here with our community when Katie came home to me. It was so wonderful to share my excitement with the people I had grown to care so much about.

Veronica reaching out to help Jeanie is so heartwarming. There were other people too who reached out to help and so many others who wished they could but we're too far away. It's something I will never forget. Every one who is here has helped. We have such a beautiful ccommunity, all bonded together in the love of Yorkies. It's much more than that, though. We can see it in this thread and the one Jeanie started--people reaching out, truly caring about Jeanie, praying for her, thinking about her, and missing her greatly.

Jeanne, you have had a great impact on our community. You are always there to help and to reach out to support people. We love you, Jeanie, and we hope you get better really quickly. Thank you for all you do and for brightening up my life and this community. Please get well and come back to us when you are up to it. I'm sending my love to you and Tibbe today and always.

I am so happy to know that Jeanie and Tibbe are both in good hands now, and I pray her recovery continues to go well so they can be together again soon.

Lisa, you are so right, Yorkie Talk has some amazing, caring members, and they are the gems that keep this site alive. I love you all and am proud to be part of this community.
