Anyone have a Christine Clayton Update ????

Has anyone heard anything from or about Christine Clayton ? I don't want to step on toes, but I thought one of the "Angels" jobs was to check on her/him and report back so there would not be alot of calls to the hospital, so they could rest. Oh well, I'll check the board again in the mornning. If there isn't an update about Christine on the board, I'll call down there around noon. I'll post the updates for everyone once I call down there. Like I said, I don't want to hurt anyones feelings by taking it upon myself to do this. But I'd really like to know how she is. And I know that you all do too. Christine, I sure hope that the phone in your room isn't ringing off the hook, but your going to be gettin one more call coming in if there isn't an update soon. I'm worried about you girl. I don't know what is worse~~ no info on Christine, no electricity durring a storm, or being in a strange pitch black dark room & looking for the light switch. What are all the duties on an Angel ???

Her angel reported in after surgery see somewhere below! I meant to call her last night, but you know how it goes with me...I seem to travel that road of good intentions!!! smoochies... arlies

Hey Ms Arlies Yeah I did see that post. But that was like only a few hours after surgery and Christine was still in recovery at the time. And really at that time nobody had spoken with Christine. They only knew what they were being told by the hospital staff or her Dr. Maybe silly me asked the question wrong. I tend to do that about 100 times on a daily basis Let me ask it another way, just in case me screwed up, again. Has anyone talked TO Christine and asked HER how SHE is doing? Or at least spoken to someone who is relaying what Christine is saying. Talking to the family and friends that are there durring the surgery is a very good thing, but I'd like to HEAR or READ some post that has information FROM Christine HERSELF if at all possible. I hope that this clears up any confusion durring my "Lost Mind" time while trying to find out if anyone has talked to Christine. And I do HOPE, that everyone knows that like I said, I'M NOT TRYING TO STEP ON ANYONES TOES OUT THERE !!! I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT HOW CHRISTINE FEELS AND IS. Now, I'm going to sit in the corner and repeat 100 times, Make sure you ask the right questions the first time silly girl. Make sure you ask the right questions the first time silly girl. Make sure you ask the right questions the first time silly girl.

Hey Tammy! I am Christine's Angel. I know full well the duties of an angel and I did post the day of her surgery. I know you keep saying you don't mean to step on anybody's toes, but the fact that you keep saying that and capitalizing it everytime makes me feel differently. And my feelings are hurt by your posts. I called the day of her surgery and talked with a friend of hers (like I said in the post). She told me that the surgery went well and Christine was doing fine. Christine wasn't able to talk. Also, I was waiting until today when I got off work to try and call and talk to her in person. I just had surgery 4 weeks ago, and I know from experience from myself (and many others) that the second day is usually the most painful. I had mine Lap (Christine had it OPEN, which is so much harder to recover from) and couldn't talk to anyone for a few days...and every time the phone rang that second day it seemed to hurt me. I didn't talk to anybody myself until the third day..I was in too much pain and too nauseous to talk. I don't mean to sound crass, you will understand what I'm talking about when you are in the hospital. I also printed out her surgery support page and faxed it to the nurse's station on her floor THE DAY OF HER SURGERY for them to give her to let her know we're thinking of her. If there is anything else you feel I need to do, please let me know. But, to answer your question or suggestion....No, I don't think she needs another angel..she is a friend of mine and I will gladly keep ya'll updated. Kristi

Hey Kristi, Your doing a great job as an Angel hun !!!! It's All Good !!!.......Sherry..........

Hey Kristi, I too know that you are Christines angel and I'm pretty sure that you do know the duties of an angel. I also know that you called the day of her surgery and posted what you found out. Like I said, I am not trying to step on anyones toes by asking questions about Christine. And as far as the capitalizing of certain words in a sentance, it is to make sure that everyone knows exactly what I'm asking or saying. If you haven't noticed, alot of people on this board tend to get their nose out of joint very easily. That is why sometimes, you just need to take extra steps to make sure that all know what your saying. That is where the capitalizing comes in. When I ask if anyone has talked to Christine, I get replys like~~~ Yeah, so in so talked to her whomever. Well, No that isn't what I asked. I simply asked "Has anyone talked TO Christine". Not her best friend or family, or hubby, but HER. Without going back and reading the exact post, I think that you said Christine was still in recovery when you called. Which tells me, that you didn't talk to Christine or a family member that had actually spoken with Christine herself. You spoke with someone who is being told by others what is going on. I hope that you see the difference there. And if you do, you will see why I had to go back a capitalize certain words to make my question clear. I have to do that alot of times just to make myself clear to others. It isn't to jump on you, make you feel bad, question your angel duties, or whatever. I don't know if my questions are not clear enough, if people just don't take time to understand what they are reading or what. But Honey Child, you have been nothing but a darling everytime that I have spoken to you. So no, I would not try to hurt you, undermind you or anything else like that. You don't sound crass to me. You do sound a little upset. But, I understand. And I do hope that you understand what and why I ask questions the way that I do. But I will tell you one thing, I am like everyone else on this board. I love information on one of our own. I have been truly worried about Christine. Her being scared to death made me worry more about her. Hearing from more people than just your angel, makes you feel loved and makes you know that you are thought about by people that have never met you. So, I love you Kristi. And if you want to talk to me, email and I'll gets you my phone number. But, I didn't mean to hurt you in any way.

I love you too Tammy. And I guess I, too, get a little bit oversensitive when it comes to my WLS friends. I love everybody on this board and I wish the best for each and everybody!!!! I was very worried about Christine too...esp since she was having the procedure open...I didn't know what to expect as far as her pain went (apparantly from what she is saying it's pretty bad). Anyhoo....Im over it and hopefully we can just chalk it up to nerves God Bless Kristi

I hope all is still well with her.
