Hey guys!!

 

[betsywdw]

hi my peeps!

This is a "one - winged" post so don't expect decent spelling.

Surgery was longer than they thought so the line-up was HUGE behind me John said. Doc was glad they put me right out cause i was so nervous just waiting to fall asleep that i was shaking. I came out fine and other than some pain (duh - oh course) I was up & gone 3 hours after waking up.
By bedtime the hand was hurting (not the wrist) and swelling up. Told us SOME swelling would happen. By morning it was HORRID ... couldn't make a fist and it was black & blue. Nother tirp up the road and doc fixed me up. Know how stupi i felt having Joh dress me? please dear put my bra one NO fool the seceond set of clips. then help me pull up my jeans & do up belt. GAWD i felt like a toddler.

So it has been this long to be able to sit here --- and I think it is a bad idea. I think i did too much yesterday (laundry HAD to be done) and I think I mighta pulled a stich (anyone wanna look at it for me?)

GIVE me a reader's digest version please some one since themouse HURTS!

, hope all is well with EVERYONE

Donald, so glad everything went well I was thinking about you the day of surgery and prayed that all went well. You really should take it easy girl! Have someone else do the laundry for a week so that you can have some healing time. I can't imagine not being able to dress myself, lol, I'm sure that's a real blast

Reader's Digest version...hmmm....nothing much at all going on with the thread. We are all pretty boring lately not sure why?

Hey Guys!

I got this email from my aunt, the one that was in the hospital from early april to early september and I thought I would share because I have talked about her before and havent really said how she has been doing recently... so who better to tell it than herself..

"I realize that Scotty and I have kind of dropped the ball as far as keeping everybody updated on my recovery. So I decided to sit down and send this out, and bring everyone up to date.

Well, where to start. Obviously my arm has improved by leaps and bounds. I am able to use my arm and hand much more. I am typing this with both hands and that is a massive improvement. It doesn't seem like that long ago that my right hand couldn't even do the mouse on the computer. I can raise my right arm high enough to hug Scotty around his shoulders and that is really nice. I have refused to be disabled. I can sweep, do dishes, cook and so many other things it is amazing.

My walking also has improved by leaps and bounds. I have said "Bye Bye" to my walker and am using a cane. And the best thing is I am about to say "Adios" to it too. I am stalling a little on that because I am having surgery in the middle of March and I want to make sure I am feeling secure enough without it. I am able to walk rather well and I can do the mall and other shopping centers real well. Which pleases the girls a lot. Shopping centers and malls were great places to practice because the ground is level.

Health wise I am doing really good. Everyone else in the house has been sick with colds and other ailments and I haven't. I contribute that in a lot of ways to the fact that I am constantly using anti-bacterial gel and making sure I have no germs on me. The DR is going to reverse my Ileostomy on March 14. I could not be more thrilled. I will be able to restart my diet full force. I am down 150 pounds from where I started in August of 2006 and I intend to continue on the road to good health. I will also be able to resume aerobics and other exercise that I need to do.

I have taken a lot of time to think my experiences of the past year through and I have come to many conclusions. The main one is the good Lord saw fit to answer the many prayers of my loved ones and friends. And I am as the new DR I saw last week said, "a walking miracle." DR Brunk had just read my chart and he thought that he was going to see a crippled weak person in the examination room. Boy was he surprised to see a strong woman sitting up in the chair reading a book. It literally took him a while to gain composure enough to conduct the exam. He did not expect me to be able to shake his hand or to be able to stand on my own two feet. He was thrilled and planned to go see the DR who had treated me in ICU to tell him just how wonderful I am. DR Brunk has assured me that my March surgery is a walk in the park compared to the things I have gone through already.

I not only owe my wonderful recovery to our lord but I also owe a debt of gratitude to the wonderful therapy I received in San Leandro at KPPAC. My physical therapist Jane who would not allow "I can't" to be a part of my vocabulary and Jennifer my occupational therapist who tortured me endlessly with exercise like picking up cards with my right hand. Oh yes these women were relentless at their torture that they did to me. And I thank God everyday that I get out of bed and dress myself and brush my hair and that I met these wonderful women. They were patient with me, on the many times I cried and said I couldn't do things and they wouldn't take that for an answer. "Can't" will never be a part of my vocabulary again. I can walk and I can use my right arm and hand. Yes I can.

Thank you all for caring and being there in prayer and in thought.

Michele"

thanks everyone who had her in their prayers and stuff.. just a little more time and she will be A-OK! 100%
