Good morning everyone

@FranC and @3mg Meniere

@WhiteHighlights

[Uncle Willie]

Hola ..

 

[DavidOck]

Morning!

 

[Uncle Willie]

Asking for positive thoughts for my DH. His triple bypass is tomorrow at 9:30am.

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Eat well and enjoy for me. I get hospital cafeteria food. LOL. As long as the surgery goes well, that's fine by me.

By my Clock and Time Zone, the DR's are into it now for around 45 minutes .. I know you are nervous, apprehensive, somewhat scared, hoping for the best .. I hope that you have someone, or more than one, with you there, in the Flesh for support ..

Just know that, we are Holding Your Hand and collectively sending positive thoughts toward the Great City of Boston ..

 

[Uncle Willie]

Geez, I’m such s wimp ... lose 4 units of blood, they sew me up again, and stick me in ICU overnight

Dear Mike, Old Friend ..

Regardless of how you may attempt to trivialize or minimize an issue like this, regardless of the crusty exterior that many of us Men like to present to the World at Large .. I know, and you know, a thing like this is quite unsettling, to say the least ..

It sounds like you came thru the good end of the tunnel (no pun intended) .. and one more reason to be particularly Thankful this time of year ..

Sincerely, Willie

Hubby has a list of ailments that would have killed most people years ago.It started with a triple bypass (They said he wouldn't have lived another month) Next came chronic acute pancreatitis that his dr at the time fail to diagnosis (ER dr said he was within 2 days max of dying). Then came spinal stenosis,emphysema,a rare and incurable bile duct cancer and now a cracked pelvis is giving him a whole a lot of pain.

Dear Frannie ;

Your Husband's Strength and Will are Inspirational to any and all that may be fortunate enough to know his History .. and, you are to be commended for dealing Lovingly thru these Trials and Tribulations .. We are strengthened by the burdens we Overcome ..

Here's to many, many more Years .. "Live Long and Continue to Prosper" ..

Sincerely, Willie

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone has a good day today!

 

[Anise]

I'm praying for all the young at heart and their loved ones. I truly hope you all have a happy outcome and a great Thanksgiving!

 

[MikeE3]

Thinking of Mike this morning and hoping he gets to go home.

Me too but mainly thinking of the others here and sending thoughts and prayers to them.

In about a 1/2 hr they draw and test my blood again. If it’s Ok, I go home.

 

[Uncle]

[Flowersoul]

Good afternoon!

Wanted to take time out to send each of you in need!

 

[Bea-FL]

@Uncle Willie and @MikeE3 I thought of you when hubs showed me this picture…since you have murses

And @MikeE3 are you home?

 

[Uncle Willie]

I'll be out tomorrow for the bulk of the Day doing what I traditionally do on Thanksgiving ..

Before I make my exit, I would, once again, encourage any and all of you that might sometimes feel a little emptiness in your Lives, to consider devoting a small portion of your Time to doing some Volunteer Work .. in each and every Community, there is always a need that generally goes wanting for Help .. and, there is usually an Outreach Center that can point you in the right direction .. in some cases, just using a Telephone List from your own Home and calling on the shut in's, the folks that go un-noticed, the People that have no one to talk to .. it can be personally gratifying and you'll make their Day .. in fact, you may find you get more out of it than they do ..

It does not require money, in many cases, just your Time and your Caring .. I think, especially during the Holiday Season, it's important on many levels .. regardless of our own Frailties and Issues, there are Folks out there worse off .. helping Serve a Thanksgiving Meal and cheering up our Fellow Travelers on this Planet .. visiting a local hospital and striking up a conversation with those that have no one .. you can come up with your own ideas ..

It never hurts to make a Deposit in the Old Karma Bank as well ..

My sincere Thanks to All of You that choose to Participate here in this Tiny Sliver of the Cyberverse .. May your Holiday be Festive and Happy and may no Fistfights break out .. .. and, I'll take my Pumpkin Pie with Cool Whip, please .. don't forget the 'nog, either .. (with a dash or two of "Holiday Cheer ..) ..

I'm home. Got released from the ICU about 3:30pm today. No food restrictions ... the Doc said enjoy your turkey tomorrow. Just start taking some kiddie vitamins like Flintstones or Gummy Bears for the next month ... it will help build up your iron. Holy geez ... I lost 5 units of blood ... no wonder I felt like I was going to pass out just before they wheeled me away to patch me up. Never experienced anything like that feeling that just came over me and I don't want to feel it ever again.

So much for a routine colonoscopy. But on the good side ... the polyp they removed was the pre-cancerous type. Not like a little ballon they snip of and seal. This type I was told grows more like a fungus spreading out on a dead log. The was a lot of cutting and scraping to get it removed. But they're quite confident they got it all and I'm in good shape (once I rebuild my blood supply that is).

Oh my goodness!!! That poor man! And you!

If anyone needs major strength, healing and coping..it's the two of you!!!

Awwww, nothing like holding a baby! Is that birthday cake she's devouring? I made a chocolate cake for our son's 1st birthday figuring he's make a total cute mess. Nope, he didn't want to get dirty and didn't appreciate the wonderful world of chocolate. And then His son, Miles, did the same thing! We should send Miles over to play with your g-granddaughter so she can show him how it's done!!

That's luLu...she's a heathen, just like me! Yes..that's her first birthday cake

 

[rosesense]

Glad you are home, Mike. Rest lots and enjoy turkey tomorrow.

Good grief! He is one tough man!!

@WhiteHighlights, Gracie, Oldbroad, 3mg, Bea, oh hell, everyone!! I have you all in my thoughts and prayers. We've all got stuff to deal with and I just pray for strength and comfort for us all.

I'm back from the hospital. Mike is resting comfortably in a private room in the ICU. (Good thing he's by himself because he'll be tooting all night from all the gas they pumped into him!) He's in good spirits except they won't give him anything to eat till morning. At least I hope they let him eat in the morning! I think they just want to make sure the bleeding is under control. The good news is we don't have to wait for the lab report on the polyp - it's benign. He'll be awake early tomorrow I'm sure and as long as he has a good night I'm sure they'll be letting him come home. Then we'll just have to give him some pampering for a few days before bringing out the honey-do list again!![/QUOTE

Not to give him a big head and all..and you can keep this post from him if you want....but I believe that he deserves some pampering for awhile...


( Then slam him with the list)
