Kitkatz is in the hospital

[looneytunes]

Kit...you are such a trooper.  Bitten by a shark, rammed by a surgeon without proper sedation, neglected by your co-workers of 12 years and still spitting nails!  I'm sorry you had to go through all this and so happy you have come through with your feisty spirit.  But, absolutely, you can whine, rant, vent, or anything else you want to do here.  Do you want me to take the  to your school?  Sounds like they deserve it.  Maybe you should send a "thank you" card to the teachers lounge for all the support they gave you during this.

No more Vicodin ever!  They make me crazy int e head,  I think everytime I tried to go to sleep last night I was in tears. I finally ended up watching Public Television from 12 to 2 last night. Finally tried to crawl back in bed at three.  Slept 4 to 6 a.m. Going to try to sleep today.  I hurt bad last night. We shall see how I feel when the Vicodin effects wear off today.  Back to Tylenol only.

[Rerun]

No more Vicodin ever! 

Can I have them?   

You have every right to feel sad.  Life sucks pretty much on dialysis but sucks rocks when things are going bad on dialysis. 

Things will get better you just need to heal.  And let them fire you!  Take them to court and make a couple cool million.

Sorry.... I'm not cheering you up am I?   

[Bajanne]

Our resident superwoman has really had her fill of challenges (AGAIN).  I am so glad that you are out of the hospital.  So sorry that you are still feeling pain.  Hang in there girl.  We are with you all the way.

[Sunny]

I am so sorry for your pain. I'm also surprised the co-workers at your school failed to follow up on your health in any way. No card? No phone calls? Maybe they thought they should leave you alone to heal, though that doesn't explain the lack of a get well card. Or maybe they didn't really know what was going on because the Principal was confidential about your health problems. I guess I'm just trying to come up with some rational for their behavior. I will say that when I was being treated for Goodpastures Disease for six months I received only one get well card from the staff and one from my students. I think school staff are so overworked already it must get hard for them to think beyond what's going on in the classroom. Not much of an excuse, I know, but usually teachers are notable for their support of one another. Get well soon. Give yourself plenty of time to heal, you deserve it. You have really been through a very difficult time.

[Jean]

So sorry about the people who you work with and who you work for. Some one needs to be sorry for them, what a thoughtless lot they are. You know they have been told you are ill, but probably have no idea what happened. Still!!!!! What a bunch of turds. You have just had the crap beaten out of you during this time, and it makes you feel helpless, but, you will heal and be back to yourself again and hopefully soon. Vicodin can give you some scary dreams too, so you are not sleeping well either. You will be better soon Kit, I am sure of you.

[kitkatz]

Tylenol with codeine today. The D doc gave me a prescription last night. I was in tears from hurting last night. Been in tears every day at some point since surgery. 
The Pit of Despair called, has a spot for me right now. 

[Rerun]

Oh Kit, I can just imagine what your are going through.  Remember to take moment by moment and then day by day.  Here is a hug.   

[billybags]

Come on kitkatz you can climb out of this, may take a while but we all have faith in you.

[Chris]

Wish I had some encouraging words to say or something smart   but I can't think of anything

[okarol]

  I hope it gets better my friend. 

[kitkatz]

Okarol called today. Great to hear your voice. 


Tylenol with codeine really has helped the pain today. I was not groaning alld ay long and cn breath without wanting to scream.  I also took a two hour nap this afternoon.  Recovery will be quicker without all of that pain, I hope. 

[galvo]

That's good news that the pain relief is kicking in.

[Jean]

Finally, a little relief. On the comedy side, I had to have a fingernail yanked out today and for this I got 2 shots of lidocaine. I get lidocaine, for a little bitty thing, and you get nothing for the "big thing".
Where is the logic in this? I guess they can tell the difference between a tough broad and a wimp. Me being the wimp.Keep getting better Kit.

[kitkatz]

     Recovering is such a bit**.  Taking a sponge bath today left me breathless and almost in tears. It taes two of us to do a sponge bath. I HATE not being able to take a nice wet shower!  I washed my hair int he sink with hubby's help.  I cannot do almost anything my self.  Mom took me to Target. I had to get out of the house and away from Hubby for a few hours.  I love him and he is being really caring and nice, but aaarrrgggh, after awhile.  I cannot even hug him because I hurt. It is frustrating right now! I mostly and independent person and I hate not being able to do things for myself. 

Okay enough whining! 

I feel better, though.  My arm looks better than it did.  I go see surgeon tomorrow and maybe get staples pulled.  Ouchie!

[monrein]

I feel like ranting right along with you Kitkatz and completely understand the frustration of everything being slow, dependent on others and exhausting as well.  I hope every day gets a little bit easier for you.   

[jbeany]

 

Make those chocolate kisses - the best kind!

[Darthvadar]

Hi Kitz....

Hope yopu're healing well, and those staples came out easier than you thought!...

Love and 

Darth...

[kitkatz]

The staples are off my arm.  Hurray!  I just have little steri strips across a few of the scars.  When they come off, wha la, it should look good.  The upper arm is still healing, but looks good. 

[Slywalker]

Finally some progress.  I hope you are starting to feel better Kitkatz. 

 

[kitkatz]

I am feeling better.  By the way thanks for your card.  It is so me!

[Darthvadar]

Glad you're doing well, Kitz....

Great to hear good news!...

Did they ever establish how you aquired MRSA???... The last time Mum was in hosp., I insisted that she be swabbed for it on her admission.... The hosp. did it and then asked me why I had asked for it... I replied "Well, now that we know that Mum doesn't have it on admission, if God forbid, she DOES get it, we'll know EXACTLY where she got it from, won't we???"... You'd be amazed how much more careful the staff were about hand washing when dealing with Mum after that!!!!!....

As you know better than most, it's a dreadful thing to get, and I was doing my very best to keep Mum safe from it!.... When she was on haemo, if she was in hospital for any reason, the clinic swabbed her on her return to the clinic....

Keep getting better, Kitz.....

Love...

C.....

[Bajanne]

So good to hear you are much better Kitkatz!   Keep on keeping on!

[galvo]

Progress!!
