Dear Donnelle,

I just started crying when I read about Glenn's problems with the damn pump.

I guess I don't blame him. He has been through so much. I know you have

been too but...

Karima

I know, Karima....I feel badly for him, too. Really I do!! I want him OUT

of pain!!!

Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle

)

Donelle , tell Glenn you have a appt in the bathroom , for 1 hour .

Now go soak in a HOT TUB with or without a good book and a head set so you

cant hear ANYTHING !!!!!!

OR you can come help me clean out my closet ( have to face the fact that I

aint never wearing a 18 again lol)

Hey Deb...come clean out my closet, too...you don't have anything better to

do!!

You need to go soak in a tub, too, sweetie...heck with the closet!!!

He is too weak to even stand, Deb....he got an electric wheel chair 2 wks.

ago and is using that totally, even around the house!!! So he's not standing

except to transfer from wheel chair to lazy boy or bed. Just keep praying

no infection sets in...a main concern where his diabetes is concerned...my

prayer is " Heal damn it!!!! " LOL Getting short on words...LOL

Oh Donnelle:

Sounds like it is rough going for you and Glenn. That pump sounds like a

big pain. I hope he can learn to use it. I know how bad he must feel to

have

12 extra pounds of fluid. It has to go down! This is just no fun. What do

the doctors says about his eventual acceptance/use of the pump? do they say

that it will be easier for him? I can't even imagine living with this device

inside me. Hang in there. Glenn has got to be feeling pretty bad.

Thanks, .... A little update for everyone...

I Brought him home tonite...he's in a very bitchy mood!!! Says he's never

had anything hurt so bad....he has a very low pain tolerance, so I doubt

that's really true...LOL He's still in a lot of obvious pain, blood

pressure

74/48 and tummy is fuller than yesterday. This pump does not appear to be

working to me....they said, " Give it time " . It's suppose to pump on its

own

(how? I don't know) when he's lying down flat. When he's at a 45 degree

angle,

as in the Lazy Boy, it should pump " some " ...and when he's standing, it does

not pump at all on its own. He has to learn how to regulate....when to go

lie down for a while, etc. He's gained 12 lbs. in 3 days, so it's

definitely

fluid... the pump can be manually pumped 10-20 times morning and evening,

but

he's too tender in the area of the pump to even do that....and would not

let

the dr. do it after the first time on Tues. He has not had the lower

abdomen pain that he has suffered with for almost a year....nor any

pressure pain

in the mid-chest area!!!! I'm still praying for no infection and no

internal

bleeding...he will have to have a home nurse come in probably for a few days

next weeks...I'm off until Tuesday, maybe he'll be stronger and in less pain

by then. He has an anti-biotic and some pain meds rx's.

That's where we are right now...he's home, but not a happy camper!! And

I'm

getting more unhappy by the minute...so I came to read msgs...and vent!!

Thank you all for letting me...

Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle
