Re: minor surgery-To Chrissy

[Guest guest]

Hey Chrissy:

Yeah, I will try to stick around this time! But last time wasn't my

fault! I was without a computer! And I hated it every moment! But

I'm back now! My surgery went pretty well. The worse part was

trying to get an IV started. The nurse tried twice, then the

anethesologist (sp?-yikes!) tried 3 times, but he was cool about it,

he would numb the spot where he was going to stick me, and he kept

asking if it was hurting, if I was ok, stuff like that...very cool.

And after the 3rd try he gave up, and the nurse got it in the vein,

right next to the last place he tried...IN THE TOP OF MY FOOT! And

when she stuck me, it wasn't numb in that spot! And that was very

unpleasant. But it only lasted a few mins. When they put the last

med-a-port in I actually woke up on the table, so I told the sleeping

doc that, and he made sure I didn't wake up, or remember anything

about it! But I am very, very sore. My chest hurts, my shoulder

hurts, and my back hurts. I don't remember it hurting this bad the

last time, but that was 3 years ago, and now I'm older & more tired &

more wore out. I already had MS contin, & stadol NS for pain, but he

gave me a script for vicodin. I use to take only that for pain

before the morphine, and I still like it more then morphine. It

helps me so much more with the pain! I had just forgot about it.

But thats about it. I can't feel the port under the skin but it is

still pretty swollen.

Wow! You are going to have the tp/ict? I'm happy for you! You

already have the date set up? I'll talk to Lily & see if she wants

to come visit you while you are close to our neck of the woods! I

have been gone for awhile now, but didn't you have some other kind of

surgery a few months ago? I thought that you did, but maybe I'm

wrong?????? Please! Let me know all the details! You can write to

my e-mail if you want. I'm anxious to hear from you!

Yes, the kids are growing too fast. I didn't realize your kids were

spread apart like that! Freshman in college, freshmen in hs, and a 9

y/o? Wow! I bet that does keep you hopping! To tell you the truth,

I honestly do not know where I'd be today if I didn't have my girls!

They keep me going, keeps my mind busy, and keeps me on my toes. I

love them so much!

Well, I'm hurting really bad right now. I'm off to take some more

vicodin, and off to nappy-time! Talk to you soon! And I'm anxious

to hear back from you!

Lots of Hugs,

how nice it is to hear from you again. Stick around this

time, ok. Hope everything goes alright tomorrow, MAC anes. is great

you wont remember a thing. Chest the sore spot, I'll have you in my

thoughts.

I know what you mean with the kids getting older, my eldest daughter

will be a freshman in college but she is still staying at home, my

son is a freshman in hs, and then there is the little girl 9. I've

got them running in every directions. They're god kids and help me

a lot.

Looks like I will be back in ya'lls neck of the woods again the end

of next month. Going to go ahead and finally get that tp/ict done.

Sure wish I could have had it done last spring when I visited then.

Oh well things happen for a reason.

Good luck tomorrow and living with 3 teenagers!
