My stuffed bear, Hope, and I are proud to announce that we made it through this endeavour together. Yes, surgery and all. The surgeon and anesthesiologist agreed that "special friends," as long as of the inanimate variety, were allowed in the operating room. He even got a hospital bracelet of his own.
After Del read me all the posts that he had written of the earlier stages of both surgery and recovery, I am pleased to say that I remember almost none of this. I remember some of yesterday and today, and the rest is a mystery (wrapped in an enigma) that can only be told to me by others who witnessed it.
My biggest accomplishment for the day was being able to have my catheter removed, and go potty all by myself! Mommy, WOW! I'm a big kid now! (Sorry, couldn't help myself.)
With all that said, I am woman, I am invincible, and I am TIRED. More tomorrow...

Hi Barbara!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how well you are doing! I am glad to hear that you and Hope made it through surgery together and are on the mend. (Hugging a bear, or pillow, might help during coughs and laughter)
That little "drug button" is quite useful... Are you up for a visit yet? I will mail your get well card once I have a new address for you. I hope you continue to improve a little each day.
My best to you and Del- SueM
What a wonderful thing to see a post from you, Barb. You have been in the thoughts and prayers of many people through your hosptial stay so far and will continue to be. I'm sure that Del is glad to see that you are beginning to mend. Look forward to continuing reading your posts and seeing you soon. Don't try to overdo it and try to prove that you are invincible...even if you can conquer a FNH -- don't do too much too soon. --Raymond & Melinda
ReplyDeleteYay! It's good to hear a first person account of your recovery! Sorry I couldn't come yesterday, but I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow! I was going to bring contraband but your husband couldn't think of anything you might want me to smuggle in... any thoughts? See you soon!! :-) Jeannie
ReplyDeleteHi Barb:
ReplyDeleteLarry sends more dachshund licks. We send more prayers and hugs.
You're a strong fighter and we're proud of you. Stimpy and Sheba send kitty licks but they would irritate you-better stick with puppy licks and human internet hugs. We should throw a party if you're up here. Love, Aunt Carol & Uncle Bruce
