Spoke to kitkatz tonight and she said her dog was grinning ear to ear, so happy to have her home!! :yahoo;
I told her, "You are amazing! Last week we were giving you last rites!"

I was talking with another member last week and we both thought we were losing Kitkatz. So much of her experience reminded me of Barry's last days, that it was hard to even think of her that sick. BUT------ SHE'S HOME!!!!!! Unbelievable. No one has the spirit or the will to fight like she does.
We love you. And I'm giving thanks that Kitkatz is here, is healing and still carrying her big stick :Kit n Stik; Love you, Kitkatz :cuddle;

I'm the next to go! NOT YOU! Do you hear me!
So glad you are home.
Love, Rerun :yahoo;

Well, it was a short home stay, but the pet therapy was great for her spirit!
Kitkatz had a little fall this morning, so she and Victor have decided she is still too weak to be navigating furniture.
She's waiting to hear about a skilled nursing facility nearby.
Keep your stick handy KK
:Kit n Stik;
-
That might be good for both of them. Victor needs help taking care of Kit right now. Falling is not good and we don't want her to hurt more than she is. Thanks for keeping us posted, Okarol.
-
I'm sorry being at home did not work out, but I am happy you got to see your puppy! A little time at a SNF should be just the ticket for getting stronger so you can be safe when you do go home. Hugs to you and Victor, what a scary experience! :grouphug;
-
Does he need to tie her to her bed? !!!
Get her a walker for home for a little while.
-
I'm glad she was home for a little bit.. sometimes that little escape is the best thing, even if you do have to go back to the hospital.
-
Well, dang! You need to kick that furniture out of the way! :thumbdown;
Take care, Kitkatz. This is not good to hear!

:flower; Latest Update :flower;
KK is back in the ER tonight. From what Victor said, her BP dropped so low during dialysis that they stopped and called an ambulance. She's waiting to be seen by a doc...hopefully one that knows what the frak he's doing!

And yes, that crazy lady took a fall this morning - thankfully a small one so she wasn't hurt. She slid out of the recliner while trying to get comfortable, smacking her tailbone and bruising her ego. They had to call the paramedics to get her up, into her wheelchair, and back into bed. (She didn't say if they were cute or not....I hope they were!)
After that incident, not even 12 hours home, Victor was beside himself, so they called in backup (me!) to give her a hand this morning while he took a break and got himself back together. Thankfully, that incident seemed to have knocked some sense into KK and she decided that it was best to get into a care center where she can really center her attention on getting better.
Of course, now that she's back in the ER (see previous post), who knows what is going to happen now....
*sigh* I need a drink....

My BP is really low during dialysis and so I take 5mg of Midodrine an hour before dialysis. They have a thousand BP medications to lower it but only one that I know of to RAISE it.
She has had enough. Smooth road please! :stressed;
-
:flower; Update! :flower;
She's been admitted to the hospital....again. Third time this month, for those of you who are counting. Not sure how long she'll be in there...

High hopes to her!

Oh KK... :grouphug;
You've really been through the wars lately. :cuddle;

:grouphug; :grouphug;
I wish I could do something.... Argh!

:flower; UPDATE :flower;
They are shipping KK off to a care facility in Pomona tonight, which is about 25 miles west of where we all live. They still don't know what's causing the blood pressure drop like it is. They told her that if it drops again, she will have to come to the hospital for dialysis....which means she gets to take a 20 mile (one way) ride to and from dialysis.
Oy....
Keep your fingers crossed!!!!

Yes, I've heard you have "wind". Get well soon.

Thinking about you? We are obsessing about you!! God isprobably wondering why the whole world is praying for a "kitkatz"!! We love you and we want this to be over and have you back to your old self!!
Keep your :Kit n Stik; :Kit n Stik; :Kit n Stik; with you and take no prisoners!! Love you :cuddle; :cuddle;

Fifty pounds --yikes! Will we even recognize you when, hopefully, you show up for the meet-up in Vegas?
:waving;
-
KK: You just can't do anything halfway, can you?! Hang in there! :cuddle;
-
Oh poor Kitz....
Can't she catch a break at all???.... Certainly a few weeks good care to let her strength back before home's a good idea...
Get well soon, Kitz.... I have many insults to throw your way yet!...
Love to all...
Darth....

She's at a care facility. It's been a month since all of this started and KK still has a lot of healing to do.
I spoke with her tonight and she sounds frustrated and stressed.
But she also sounds determined and is grateful to have help from her family.
Nighttime is the hard time. She's having trouble sleeping.
Keep going forward Kit! :bow;
-
:flower; UPDATE :flower;
FYI: KK is currently without her cell phone and computer, hence why no one has heard from her this week. She may get her computer back today - we will see.
As I type this, KK is still recovering at a care home in Pomona and asks that only family visits her at this time. As always, prayers and happy thoughts for her speedy recovery are welcomed!
We also ask that if you want an update or want to talk to someone about Katherine's condition that you do not call her husband. He's overloaded with everything that is going on and the phone calls are not helping. Instead, feel free to message me on IHD.com or facebook (I'm the redheaded Anita Keller that posts things in KK's wall), and I will reply as time permits.
Thank you!

Prayers going out for KK and all of her family! :pray;

:flower;
We just want her to get BETTER!
Thinking of you, Kitkatz!
-
:flower; UPDATE :flower;
KK ended up back in the hospital last night thanks to her BP tanking about 30 minutes into dialysis. She's there for at least overnight for observation. Waiting for docs to do rounds to see if there is an update.
Rinse and repeat....you know the drill.

POOP! (or another stronger word!) :thumbdown;
I just wish I could wrap a protective blanket of love around her to keep all this from happening. :banghead; :banghead;
:grouphug;
-
Poor Kitz....
Thinking of her... I miss her terribly!... If we weren't trading insults on IHD, FB or Skype, we were doing it by text... Life is certainly quiet without her...7
Get well soon, Kitz... I've loads more insults for you!...
Love...
Darth....

I too, am missing her spunk and sassyness around here. We all love her :cuddle; :cuddle;

Me too!
