Sophia3 Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Well, Poohbear sounds raspy and is having trouble breathing...she called me and sounds worn out.MOST UPSETTING is the placement of her PORT...in her breast. Anybody ever heard of that? Her surgeon saw her briefly after the surgery and then went out of town.So between a hysterectomy she had NO time to prepare for and half her breast cut up for a PORT..she is feeling overwhelmed...on top of the pre-existing conditions.She sounded down and still coughing.Please keep her in your thoughts.Love ya, Poohbear!!Sophia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancingLight Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Ugh!That sounds miserable....Why would they put it through all of that breast tissue? She really must feel 'beat up'....Ugh.Sorry she is struggling so....still in my thoughts Pooh...Em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia3 Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Poohbears friend called my email buddy....Poohbear had a chest tube put in to help with breathing...she is in a LOT of pain and back in ICU but hopes to be in a regular room tomorrow.So that is good news as this should help her breathing and get her oxygen levels back up. She kept saying for two days she had trouble breathing! &^%$#@!&**Sigh*So if you know any priests, rabbis, ministers, buddhist, Native American spiritualists, PLEASE tell them to say something NICE and positive to the UNIVERSE so sweet poohbear can have an EASIER RECOVERY.Amen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
