prayers for jen. hope your recovery goes well

Just got a text from Jen's hubby. Says "Jen's in the recovery room minus one appendix. She's staying overnight, will be released tomorrow morning.

As much as I hate hospitals, I think for this type of surgery they should keep you one more day. But then, hospitals are full of sick people and poking and prodding residents, so maybe not.

walk it off, Cal Ripken would have.

feel better.

Get out of there as soon as you can, Jen! I had my gall bladder removed 9 years ago. As if THAT wasn't enough pain, I ended up with strep throat from some sick person in there!

This is my 3,333rd post. What a loser I am.

Beautiful Ami!
I really can't wait to go someday...I haven't seen a mountain (or hill for that matter) since I left NJ.

 

[LONE-STAR]

Some rough weather your way, everyone and their property OK?

We are good thanks for asking

I think Lone-Star is the only one possibly in harms way. We are north Texas and hoping for some rain from Dolly. South Padre took a pretty good hit. Local news said a lot of people stayed there on vacations and did not evacuate. Some wanted to experience a hurricane!

We got some rain out of it but that was it. The storm went in south of us.

Jen, hope you have a quick recovery! Sorry you're going through this!

Ami, beautiful pic! Looks like we're headed to the Asheville area...still not sure of a campground yet. But we want to go next weekend if at all possible. We've wanted to visit that area for while. A few years back when they built the HGTV dream home there...they showed some beautiful views!

g8trmom1, we checked out the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge area while visiting family in Knoxville. Not sure if you guys are looking to camp up there or not...but there were a couple of really nice campgrounds in the Townsend area!

Where is that Ami? Do you ever camp there?

My surgery was only an overnight stay, and much more involved than appendicitis. Technically, I was there on a "23 hour observation", and they just purposely drug their feet to give me as long as possible on Thursday. (For example, they gave my DH my prescriptions right before I was supposed to leave, and told him to go ahead and fill them, and to take his time, then they had to wait on my doctor to return after office hours to sign my actual orders.) My mom had surgery on her hairline fracture on her back, and was home by 1pm the same day.

Anyway, I hope Jen gets better soon!!

I had bilat hernia repairs a few years ago and they couldn't wait to get me outta there. My experience as a patient in hospitals following surgery is not good. The nurse I had attending me was a terrorist.

When I had my TKR last year I stayed in for 3 weeks! But over 2 weeks of that was in subacute rehab. That was a real pain, but I was having a problem with range of motion - the surgeon had to remove a lot of stuff that was left from the prior 5 surgeries - my knee was really weird looking prior to the replacement - the surgeon wanted to know how I ever got into the Army in the first place - once I got out of the hospital I really started to get better.

Okay..I've been a bit out of the loop this week, my apologies, I didn't realize Jen was ill. I knew she was having some trouble at the Fourth of July gathering. Is the appendix what was giving her the problems earlier in the month?
Both my sons have had their appendix's(sp?) out. They say it isn't genetic..but I found that kind of odd. My older son had it done 10 years ago..regular surgery and was in the hospital almost five days. My younger son had it done two years ago, and he stayed overnight, it was done laproscopically..and he had a MUCH easier recovery. I don't think he even asked for tylenol more than once. Of course he was 14 at the time..and kids bounce back so easily.

Anyway, just checking in, and was sorry to hear about Jen's situation. If you should speak to her, would you please tell her she is in my thoughts and prayers? Thanks

Feel better Jen, I hope this will fix all that ails you.

 

[AuburnJen92]

Thanks guys and gals! I hope to feel better soon. It seems that my gall bladder is fine, however, they found out some problems related to my c section 4 years ago. Seems that some of my parts wanted to grow together with scar tissue, causing all kinds of inflammation and such. I don't have all the details, but the appendix is gone and lots of scar tissue. Needless to say, the ob/gyn was called in on the phone for consultation (which was also done on Monday, but for additional opinion.) Since I knew there would be nothing on TV, I decided to bring the air card to the hospital to keep my mind occupied.

 

[auntie]

Oh Jen...how nice to hear from you! I'm glad you're feeling better..or at least hope to be soon! Glad everything is okay..you are in my thoughts and prayers, and wishing you a speedy recovery. (like you have a choice with a four year old! LOL!)

Really, one hospital stay could bankrupt you.
