Going Into Hospital for surgery

To The Group:I just wanted to let you know that I am still alive and will be going to the hospital Dec. 19 for knee surgery. I will be gone at least two weeks. One week is for the surgery and one week for rehab. They are doing it with spinal anesthetic because with my lung condition I cant have general anesthetic. It will be a rough surgery for me to lay there listening to them work on me and having to stay in one position for hours.

Sorry I have not posted but my depression is very bad right now and everything I type is negative and I end up deleting it. I am having trouble just getting out of bed and getting dressed much less being able to respond to the needs of others. I cannot focus well enough to be able to reply to others questions/concerns and while we all need support and encouragement, until I can manage that, I prefer to stay quiet and "do no harm".Thanks for understanding,Carolyn

Carolyn;

On this site you can do no harm, it has already been done. We're here to help each other and to provide a 'shoulder to cry on'. When your down we want to be there for you, just as you would want to help any of us. Please don't delete, send. You're not going to write anything that any of us hasn't already wriiten or have wanted to write. You hurt us more when you don't write, you make us feel as if you don't believe you can rely on us. God bless you and watch over you, may He fill you with his warm loving embrace.

Hi Carolyn, Good grief can't you remember " WE ARE HERE FOR YOU... " You are free to express anything you want. If some don't like it they are free to delete it.. I think offending any of us should be the least of your worries. You ARE part of us.

I will be praying for you the 19th. Just close your eyes and see the bubbling brook with you on a quilt laying back with your toes in the cool water. And all of us praying for you. Sounds good to me..

Take care of you and BELIEVE surgery will go perfect.

Love and Prayers, Peggy 9/04/ ipf
