Forgive me for being punny,  but the end is in sight.

Enjoy your recuperation . 3 weeks?

Keep in touch !

Morning Felicity, hows the form.

He was eying 4 weeks back at light duty. I insisted to "healed" no restrictions at least 6 weeks.

Here I am, still in a week from admission. I was drying off from my antibacterial soap shower this time last week. I am admittedly not eating much except a light meal every day. Dehydrated as usual, wbc up a little. Damn Dr (surgeons partner) tweaked my poor ass this morning when checking the incision, oh did that hurt. Said I should sit more... Sure Dr, let's mince your starfish and see how you like sitting on it... Should be getting a chest x-ray sometime today. I suspect I'll be hanging out some more here.

I rather hopefully sent my basket of coloring books, comics and goodies home w husband. Figured he could manage them easier than mom could. Maybe I can still make a break...

Well its been a heck off a week for ye, not may be what you want to hear but as long as the hospitail wany you stay, the very to ye kid

Good Morning Felicity

Wow I am sorry you are still in there I thought you were getting out yesterday . That does suck that you have to stay still but (no pun intended) if Doc thinks you should stay then it probably is best . Hopefully you get out soon cause we all know to well that hospitals are no fun . Eat as you feel you can get rehydrated as you can maybe it will help you get out or at least you'll feel better when you make a break for it !

Felicity sorry to hear that they're making you stay in the hospital. But as other people have said to hear it's usually ends up being for the best if you stay when the doctors want you to. A couple of times when I was in at the beginning of the year I forced my way out of the hospital sooner than the doc's wanted me to and I even came home rather than going to rehab. Big big mistake it set me back a long way and just took longer to get over. I finally figured out that that they knew what they were talking about when they said stay and rest and get better and then move on. I know it's hard I know how bad I hate to sit in the hospital too but you know sometimes it's the best thing to do. Hang in there we're all praying for you and hoping for the best you'll be out quicker than you can imagine. All my love Barbara

I agree with all of the above. Get well and get going. 

It might help you to plan to accomplish something when you are released. Something to look forward to.

It's that left kidney that was part of the start of the mess. Urinary stent placement to be done in am. Little infection too.

Like you really needed that too !! There is no such thing as a little infection with the kidneys.. Trust me! Keep those fluids going girl!! flush them out........  At least they got while your still in there.. Another delightful day huh? Keep your chin up.. m.

Felicity I understand having an infection but why the stent ? When I had my Proctectomy surgery they found that my rectum had  grown around a second ureter  on one side that they weren't aware of and it got broke during removal of the rectum . So just saying I had a stent for 6 weeks after going home and wasn't as bad as I thought it might be . But then had to go back for out patient surgery to get it removed and they put another one in when they took that one out it was in the office I watched it on camera . Believe me I was nervous ! But proved to be no big deal . I was surprised when I saw the stent though .

Just saying don't be worried about it tell them to give you some Uribel your pee will turn blue but it takes care of the stinging . Good luck tomorrow . You will do great .

 The kidney started this adventure off months ago. Appropriate it will end this adventure.

Sorry for the poo, but here is a quick and dirty asshole hedgehog. Changed my appliance. Gods, Oscar got chunky 

Hope you are feeling alright Felicity . How did the stent go ? 

This is Oscar?  Looks a bit chocked up. Poor baby!! 

How r u feeling today?  Any chance of getting out of that dump??? 

Poor Oscar is all chunked up, shapes odd, more oval than before... Flabby. He'll trim down some.

Stent placement went well, felt good enough to choke a bad hamburger half down for lunch. Kidney is draining, they hooked an iv up the other night as I complained I was unable to maintain hydration due to NPO. Careful what you wish for. Getting up to pee every few hours clutching my belly close to hold all that jumble in. Poor James so wants to help when he watches. Told him I'm gonna be happier slower.

Hospital Dr stopped to check on me. Told me to be doing what I do at home. Welp, lately on a day off I might get out of bed by 9. Ramble to the bathroom then lounge on sofa. As it is winter that is usually my end point unless I wind up in the computer room...  I ain't doing much less than I do at home. Bed time is usually 9...

Morning Felicity, You have been through it an then some, but can tell by yer emails that yer form it coming back, the updates are waited on as we all want to her how ye doin and getting sorted. plus will be encouragement to any one who is or will be going through the same! slow and steady wins the race. as always the very best and take care.

Felicity,

I am happy your sense of humor is returning. Thats always a good thing. 

I hope your poor old stoma gets its figure back soon.

Felicity, it's good to hear your sense of humor shining through your messages  again. Even though you're not feeling on top of the world yet the fact that your sense of humor is coming back as a good sign. Like others have said we're anxious to hear your updates to know how you're doing. Hope you get to go home soon and I hope that your recovery is as Speedy as it as it can be. Barbara

Felicity like the others Im glad to see the sense of humor is still there . That in itself can be a good recovery tool . Glad to hear stent placement went well . You say you are getting g up to go pee so at least you don't have a catheter that's a good thing ! But like the IV yes be careful what you ask for don't say But Doc and stutter at the same time  ...... haha . Hopefully you'll be out soon . 

Robert, stutter or sputter?  U talking to Felicity? or Oscar?

Felicity, your fun personality is coming back.. Guess you have to make yourself at home there of awhile longer.. Don't want to have to go back there again.. You have been through a lot, and a few surprises towards the end-but they caught it in time before any real damage was done.. Hope Oscar is not hurting.. Looks kinda depressed. Maye his personality will come back soo too!! ---------------shape up Oscar !!!!!!!!!!!!!
