Guest guest Posted May 27, 2002 Report Share Posted May 27, 2002 Hi All, So sorry that I have been gone for a few days. My knee started to hemorrhage again on Monday so it was back to surgery to try to stop the bleeding. As I write this, I DO believe that that problem has been solved. Since Monday, no bleeding, it has almost been a week, so I am VERY hopeful. With all the work he has done on my knee I am still in quite a bit pain right now. They took more blood for the platelet condition and the lab won't give me any results. They say that the doctor has to talk to me directly. So hopefully, I will have some answers this week. I have developed a nodule in my breast and the abdominal adhesions that I suffer from can wait no longer to be taken care of, so I will be calling the surgeon soon, but he can't do anything until the platelets get straightened out. So I need some answers on this blood sometime soon. From all the blood loss, I have been quite weak and just feeling plain awful. So I have been on pretty strict bed rest this whole week. Just now starting to feel a little tiny bit better. This has been a long, long ordeal for me. Thank you all for your concern and caring. When I have been able, I have read a little, but just didn't have the energy to write. The pain pills that he has me on have also contributed to this condition. I hope that you will all understand. Ron's Mom has apparently taken a turn for the worse, so we are trying to speed up our plans to go to Chicago to see her before it is too late. She is 86 and Ron's Dad is 87 and with him taking care of her all the time by himself he is fastly becoming exhausted. So, if things don't change soon, he may lose both of them very quickly. We are trying to make some room here that Ron's Dad can come stay (not live) with us for a short time after everything is over with. This way we could kinda nurse him back to health. He can then decide what he wants to do with the house and everything else. I hope that you all have a wonderful and pain free holiday. If you are on the roads, please be safe. Once again, thank you all for your concern and prayers they were much appreciated and needed. I will try to keep up a bit more and will let you all know what the blood results show if anything.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 Debs, Thanks for the update. I was really getting worried about you. It¹s great that they got the bleeding under control. Sorry you had to have additional surgery to get it controlled. That poor knee has been through the war. I hope your lab report news is a good one. Are they going to biopsy the breast nodule? It¹s hard to watch our parents age and go through health problems. I hope you are able to travel so you can see her. I am keeping you and your family in my prayers. Try to get as much rest as you can. Hugs, a On 5/27/02 12:14 AM, " Auntblabbie2000@... " <Auntblabbie2000@...> wrote: > Hi All, > > So sorry that I have been gone for a few days.
