Re: I'm back-sort of!

[Guest guest]

Thanks everyone for the prayers and good wishes,they are working.I am

still at my sisters,closer to Docs,resorts etc.Actually I think it is

for their benefit almost more than mine.That's ok. I know they love

and care about me,just gets overbearing at times.I don't know when I

can go home since I am alone all week in the boon docks and the

closest hospital has no cardiologists!I am on 3 more meds since the

heart attach,honestly I have to update my list about twice a

month.Worst experience was after the catherization I developed 2

bleeds,first was in recovery,not so bad,pain killers were still

working.Second on that night,unfortunately my sisters were

there,hubby had just left.It took one hour of a 200 pound woman(she

told me her weight) to knead my thigh and break up the clots.I was

actually screaming and I am not very vocal when I'm in pain,my

roommate was crying and praying,poor thing.They had to break up all

the clots,so they wouldn't travel to my lungs or heart. Finally about

45 minutes into it the nurse brought a pain shot of Morphine,which as

luck would have it,I am allergic to.so she had to go call the doc and

get permission to give me something else.Very traumatic incident and

now my whole leg is black!I still have a large pool of blood at the

site,but the doc said it will take about a month to

dissolve.Anyway,if you haven't already fallen asleep by now,thaks for

reading .

I

am so sorry some of you are feeling so bad.Kirk, you just break my

heart with the amount of pain you go through daily.I am always

praying for you,you are such a great person, and you provide alot of

levity to our group.If there is anything I can do for you let me know

ok?

Well I guess I better stop now,but I am glad to be back and wish you

all a good pain free day.

I love you all Elly

Elly,

Sounds like you are in good spirits. Glad to see you back to posting

and getting care from family and the docs - even if it does seem

overbearing. We are very appreciative of them for keeping you with

us. :-)

Elly,

I am so sorry that you have gone through this. How scarry that must have

been. Thank God for faith and for the support of Family and Friends.

I hope you never have to go through that again. We have never met, but I

feel like I know you - that goes for everyone. I really hope to meet

everyone at next years convention.

Take it one day at a time sweetie and you'll be OK. Be happy that your

sister is overbearing. Right now, my sister wont even answer the phone when

I call her. She is mad at our whole family. It makes me really sad that

now that I live close to her she won't even talk to me. It's hard enough to

be sick, but I really thought that moving close to her would help soften her

heart and heal some of her anger at our family - when my grandmother died

last June, she just really lost it. Got made at everyone and the world. We

can't seem to get through to her any more. I don't know what to do. She

tells us all that we are self- absorbed, but I am in so much pain, I can

barely go to the store, I don't know how I can even drive to her house which

is about two hours away... It makes me really sad - So I am happy for you

that your sister is with you - enjoy it... I have my brother and his family

along with my parents and extended family, but I'd love to have my sister

not be angry at us all - It makes me so sad. Oh well - hopefully, time

really does heal all wounds.

Love and Hugs,

Elly, my amazing and wonderful friend! I'm so glad your back and in

your own space. You are an absolute wonder to me! Even in the

hospital you're guiding others; thank you for sending to us.

and I spoke to her in the chat room a couple of weeks ago. A

nice young lady but evidently scared. I'm glad she met you, be it,

second hand.

Now, tell me, how are you feeling today? Do you need anything? I'm,

of course sending you hugs and kisses and loving, warm thoughts but I

can also jump into my car - All I have to do is clear my work schedule

and I'm there - just say the word!

needs help, he's calling me upstairs - It's secretarial time.

Take care and be well, my dear.
