Carolyn sent me a message that she is at the hospital, they have a bed and the surgery is a "go". Let's keep her in our thoughts and prayers while she has surgery and then during recovery. She brings so much fun to IHD and I know she loves IHD as much as we love her.
-
I hope everything goes very smoothly! Keep us updated!

I too hope everything goes smoothly. Keeping her in my thoughts.

She has her laptop with her and says she will be on line when she can.
-

So glad it is a go and by now, hope it is over with and she is on the road to recovery.

I have heard that Carolyn came through the surgery well. She is in some pain but on some GOOD pain meds. I also heard Dougal is being watched by a policewoman. He messed on the station floor.

Thanks Bill! I bet Carolyn's Mum is really missing Dougal. My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with both Carolyn and her Mum while the recovery period begins. :cuddle;

Thought you'd gotten rid of me, didn't you???...
Nice try making the morphine almost kill me, but sorry, I'm made of stronger stuff than that!!!!...
Dealing with pain far better at home... I take meds when I need them, not at 'the appropriate intervals'... And I've gone onto the milder stuff... The OxyContin, and Oxynorm made me SO sick!!!!...
Still, I'm back now, and sleeping it all off....
Thank you SO much for your thoughts and prayers...
Biggest thank you to Bill for the call... It was LOVELY to speak to you.... Erm, Ladies... Bill has the most dreamily deep voice I've ever heard... Could listen to him for AGES!!!!!....
As my mum would say "A voice like Testerone on legs!"....
Be good all.....
Love...
Darth....

Nice to see you back on Darth. :beer1;

Nice to see you are getting back to your old self Darth!!! LOL Take care!!!

Here's to a speedy recovery.

Yep... Not a pretty sight, Kitz....
But hey, it's over now, thank God... Onward and upward.... Can easily stroll around the house on one crutch now... Only do it occasionally, if I want to take Mum a cup of tea for example... I've got FAR better control over pain now, and I'm feeling very confident today.... Starting to get interested in food again, so it's all looking positive... Staples come out on Wed. God willing..... I suppose I'm luckier than most in that I live in a bungalow, and don't have stairs to negotiate...
Still very tired, and drained, but even that's getting better....
Be good, All.... Kitz, you just try... It's all I can expect of you!.....
God bless...
Darth....
-
Glad to hear you are home and starting to get around a bit. Take it easy!
-
Thanks Sax....
What a cute BT... I love them... SO feisty!....
Love...
Darth...

Happy to hear all is going well and your home. Keep up the good work. :2thumbsup;

Hi Darth - glad to hear you are on the mend!!!!! :bandance;
Sounds like your reaction to morphine is much like mine..... we are not cut out to be druggies I guess.
Best wishes. :grouphug;

Thanks for the good wishes...

I have to try to be good????? Darth, you take the fun out of everything!

Yep... Taking all the fun out of your life, Kitz... That's my job!!!... :rofl;
Love...

I am sitting in a corner being miserable over here, according to Darth! Hahahaha! NOT even close!

I bet you are happy not to have the staples stretching the skin. I enjoyed my first total shower this morning.

Certainly am, Kitz....

Glad your arm's healing well....
Darth...

:waving; Hi Darth,
Are you doing physical therapy?
-
Hi Karol...
Yes, working on getting the muscles in order, but I'm having no problems, thank God...
I'm strolling around the house on a walking cane, and taking a few dozen steps without any support... I'm very pleased!... No complaints!...
I've a visit scheduled from the Community Physio on Monday, so if there are any problems, I hope that visit will flag them up...
As far as I know now, it's all good!... Have to see the surgeon on Jan 5th for a check-up....
Love to all...
Darth...
-
I am glad to hear you are doing well. Showers are a good thing:) Is physical therapy standard after a transplant or did you have other issues going into the transplant?
-
I had a Knee Replacement op, Sax...
Physio's a vital part of the process...
Love to all...
Darth...
-
Glad your doing well Darth. The physical therapy is the pain in the :sir ken; part of the surgery. ;D
-
:cheer: Great to hear you're healing well Darth!
-
Yes Karol...
Thank God everything's healing well.... I feel very bruised, but I've been told that as I've EDS, it'll take ages for the bruises to ease....
Oh well, it's getting better....
Love to all...
Darth....
-
Darthie...it's great that the healing is going well.
Glad to hear it.
-
Thanks Looney....
Well, we're snowed in!.... About a foot of snow so far... About another foot expected!.... Community physio had to cancel her visit... Roads are trecherous... Paths are worse...
Carer from the Carers Assoc. was in this morning... She showered Mum, and put all the rubbish out into the outside bins, and left out about ten days of D fluids for Mum in the order she'll need them, just in case she can't get here on Thurs...
Thankfully, I did a big grocery shop on Friday, and there's a very good supermarket that I can do an online shop with.....
Baxter delivered yesterday.... I don't know how the driver did it... He was really good... If he'd had any bother getting to us, our Community Gardai had said to deliver it all to the Garda Station, and they'd deliver it up in a jeep... That's REALLY reassuring....
I'm still nursing my bruises, but I'm okay... I'm very lucky really... We've everything we need, good friends, GREAT Community Gardai, and I'm not complaining....
Love to all....
Darth...

Sounding good, Darth. Stay warm and well. Love from Camilla.
-
Hi Darth - sounds like it is time to curl up with a book near a toasty fire. No snow to speak of here yet - in fact lots of rain and high winds predicted the rest of this week. The skiers are getting concerned. Me? I like driving in rain.
Take good care now. Glad to hear you are still on the mend. :flower;
-
Thanks Camilla and Galvo!... Sorry Galvo, but Camilla is the better looking part of your partnership!.... She's a beauty!....
Erm, Slywalker... Would you like my snow???... I'll happily let you have it all.... No charge!... LOL....
Love...
Darth..
