Sunfish Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 my prayers have been, are and will continue to be with my dear pooh. i've been checking in on how she's been doing even though i hadn't been up to posting yet. glad to hear that she may be getting at least a smigen (sp?) of relief relative to the past few days at least. but i really wish she hadn't had to replace me as the current MIA DINET member stuck in the hospital. melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DancingLight Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Okay, so this is off-topic, but hopefully Pooh you will at least get a smile, b/c Corina never fails to make me smile.Corina...in America we have something called Tupperware (do you have it too?)--mostly famous for their plasticware for storing foods and such and also microwavable containers. Anyways, they have a type of Tupperware that is very, very small (I put my probiotics in them) and they are called.....SMIDGETS!!!! Isn't that so cute! So now, every time I use a smidget I'll think of you!Em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia3 Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Ok...Poohbear is STILL STRUGGLING and not able to access websites with dial up from the hospital.After three surgical procedures, she has had many, many complications.But she HOPES to go home Saturday night!! She is still very weak, and after 3 weeks in the hospital is a bit nervous about being by herself at home as her few friends from her recent move, are OUT of town.So PLEASE, keep the prayers and good thoughts directed at her as this is still a long road for her.

Dizzy Dame Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 They're going to send her home by herself?!?! Oh lord, that dosen't sound right. Does she belong to a church or other group that can help out? Pooh, you're still in my thoughts! Hopefully things will go smoothly from here on out, and they can get you set up with a caretaker for your first few days home at least.

Sophia3 Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 All her church friends and her other friends are out of town...I just said that earlier.... Some WAY out of town, like to New Zealand.Sadly, her release can not wait for friends to get home and she is tired of the hospital...so it's a tough choice....but she is trying to get something lined up.But I would hope they will have her get up and down and walk up and around some to SEE how she is doing as syncope is a huge issue for her, even with the pacer and a wheelchair.Send thoughts to positivity to her.

DancingLight Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Oh Pooh,I am so grateful that you get to go home, but also so very nervous about you managing on your own.

DancingLight Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I just wanted to send out my love to Pooh....and see if anyone knows how she is doing at home....and let her know that she is still in my thoughts...Singing your song for you Pooh....Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia3 Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 HeyI am sorry...I forgot to say she got home last week and soon after the POWER WENT OUT AT HER HOME&^%$#@!Wheelchair was not charged up...electric pump for IV's not working, had just thrown out rotten food in her fridge and put in fresh food...sheesh...but she was ok.I haven't spoken with her since that night. I had family in from seattle and am tired from the fun family get togethers. Last I heard, Pooh was struggling to adjust to home, the pain and not having somebody to help her 24/7.And they messed up her surgery report and she has the stress of getting that handled out...so...keep her in your thoughts guys.Sophia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corina Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 warm wishes pooh!!! i hope you're doing okay. take it day by day and very easy, we're thinking of you!corina oh and this is for emily (and everyone else who likes to read!!!): of course we have tupperware over here!!! i have loads and loads of it. when we were in orlando (ages ago!!!) we came along the tupperware headquarters and i would have wanted to get out of the car and have a look, but my hubby made more speed and told nme that we already were too far and he couldn't think of a place where to turn! (i'm sure he hated the idea of getting dragged into tupperware stuff ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poohbear Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Sorry...didn't mean to worry any of you!!!Thanks for thinking of me and checking on me. I am having a really rough time and recovery has been filled with lots of complications. I'm being told that it will take months and months for me to recover from all that I've been through. Emotionally it's hard on me too....I was not ready to give up my dream of having children. I really did not have a choice; we had to do the hysterectomy because I had severe anemia and uncontrolled bleeding. I still have severe anemia but hopefully we can attempt to correct it now. I'm still on IV fluids and occasional nutrition by IV (we tried to cut back but it didn't work so this week we had to go back to a daily routine). I have home health nurses in and out all the time, Occupational therapy, physical therapy (although we're limited because I can't do much for another month until ligaments heal). It is good because I need all this but it's draining and a full time job. We had multiple issues to deal with while I was in the hospital and EVERYTHING we did had complications. I had several rare complications, ended up having three major surgeries (requiring general anaesthesia) and two other minor surgical procedures within two weeks time. In addition to tests, blood transfusions etc. Since I've been home I've had several more complications and major frustrations with what appears to have been a very incompetent and arrogant surgeon. I DID have one WONDERFUL surgeon who kept me alive so I have to give kudos to him (uh....Corina...have you heard of "kudos" yet?)Em, I love the smidgets! I didn't know that's what they were called. I have a couple of those also and they are great for meds. Corina, I've been to the tupperware headquarters in Orlando too but I don't remember seeing much actual tupperware when I was there. It was mostly offices and they had a huge auditorium (I was there for a marching band competition....many years ago though so it may be different now).Thanks to all of you for your supportive thoughts and well wishes. I'm lurking but not able to post much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hi Poohbear,Thanks for the update. I'm glad you're able to lurk. Wow, you certainly have faced a string of complications. I'm so sorry you had to go through such an ordeal. I'll be thinking about you and praying for you as you continue to recover.Well wishes,Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 What an ordeal you have been through. Thank goodness you made it through all of that. It sounds like recovery will take quite a while. Please let us know how you are doing.Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
