cynthia's message

[Guest guest]

Hi all you sweet angels.

My sister thought it would be nice if I could post you all a note

from me, so here goes.

I hope I can make sense through the medication.  This has been

a rough road for my family & myself.  I realize others have had

things rougher/tougher but as you know when it is you going

through it, it does seem mountainous.

My sister has been printing all the messages from all of you and

bringing them in for me to read.  I am making a special book

later on and all your messages will be included.  You are all so

thoughtful and I being the sensitive mushy onehas cried over so

many loving words from you.

Gobo-you have outdone yourself.  You deserve many rubies in

your crown.  I cannot even begin to thank you for all you have

done for me.  I love you so much my friend.

So many of you have sent cards, flowers, gifts, called, visited and

ended up making me feel like I am the most important person in

this universe.  My faith in mankind has been restored.  I no

longer look at  everything the way I use to.  As a M.O. person the

world has kicked me around a bit.  Becuase of all you people I

once again realize that the majority of this world is made up of

caring and loving people like you and that only a select few make

up for the ugliness.  

This trauma has brought a new special light, love and bond to

my family.  Never in life would I have thought my dear husband

would so lovingly willing to wipe my tush and to bathe me.  He

has been my rock and out marriage has blossomed from these

rough spots.   I have always been the one to do it all for my

husband and kids, it has been so terrific to see them rise to the

occasion, take care of themselves and to help take care of me.

Tomorrow theu will close my open incision.  They tell me my leak

at the top of my stomach is shrinking.  The JP drain is what was

infected.  It seems to be clearing itself up along with some

pnuemonia that was in my left lung.   Thanks to the antibiotics.

The obstruction was in my small intestine.  It  took my common

channel from 90cm to 80cm.  Everything is functioning good

now.

 The nurses and staff here at OHSU are wonderful.  They all want

to know how to be more helpful to D.S. patients.  I suggested

they go to the www.duodenalswitch.com web site and study.

They know more than most then and really see what is needed.

Randy boy- your nurse Jeffifer came and took me for a shower

today to wash my hair, Oh my God, did that feel good.  Please

continue your prayers for tomorrow, I dread going under the

anethesia again.  

I love you all and look forward to being able to post for myself.

Love you all!

Angels hover ever near
