Has anyone heard from Kathy

Has anyone heard from Kathy, last time was 2 days ago. the one leg was infected. I don't know if she had made if back to Lebanon or not. Or even Nashville area. I'm really worried about her. Sending prayers out to her. Hugs  Barb

Barb, She is heading back today, She isnt doing well I offered tio drive back but she wouldnt let me,  Her leg is really infect the cipro isnt working,  she see her surgeon monday but i dont think she should wait she needs to go to the ER shere she had her surgery as soon as she gets into town. Please keep prayer for her. I hope to hear from her too. Annrenee

She had told me how infected it was, I worry about staph. there are so  many things.  Bless her heart. I hope all goes well for her. I am keeping her in my Barb

Thank you Barb and Annrenee.  I'm still alive and kicking.  I loaded my van yesterday of anything that was important, like dishes, linens, winter clothes, pan, misc. all by myself.  Right leg is doing fine, the left isn't. I took the drain tube out a few minutes ago.  Nothing was draining from it, that took some of the pain out.  It's still infected along with 3 other places.  But I just need to take my shower and load up my things from being here and hit the road.  I am keeping them clean, putting Bacatration (sp) on them and putting clean bandaging on them.  Only 2 more days on the Cipro, see my surgeon on Monday and hopefully she will do something to help heal the infection, and give me some more pain pills.  I'm just about out and this leg throbs constantly.   Thanks for the prayers.  With my love, kathy

K, Kathy my ma always said that I was the biggest worry wart she had ever seen. I am sorry. But someone has to do it. Are you sure that you can make it til Mon? It you can't go to the ER?  Don't you even think twice. hon.  Hugs Barb

Good to hear from you Kathy and I am with Barb,  ER before monday...... love ya  Annrenee

Kathy, So sorry you are having such a hard time with your thighs. Hoping you recover and get that infection out of the way. Hugs.

Hi Juanita, I saw my surgeon on Monday.  The left leg is still very infected, the right one although is still sore is healing nicely, it just sore where the cut is. The left one is infected all along the cut, has caused the inside stitches to bust open and become infected.  It's not staph.  She gave me some ointment for the infection and some more pain pills because I could barely walk on it with severe pain.  I keep it wrapped and propped up.  Still having to sleep in a recliner as I am unable to get down to the floor to sleep on my air mattress.  At least it's comfortable.   I will recover from this.  My body has just been thru so much that my blood counts like the white cells aren't high enough to fight infections on their own.  I see my oncologist and get more lab work done on Friday and go from there.  Thank you so much.  I plan on being at the next luncheon.  Lord willing and the creek doesn't rise.   Love ya

I was just now able to hop on and check the message boards.  Kathy - I really hope your leg gets better.  You need to be careful lifting all that stuff.  I hope you are resting when you can.  This has made me re-think having my thighs done after I get where I need to be.

Please keep us updated!

Hi Amber, that's my sister's name.  My best advice is to work hard to tone your thighs more.  More walking or the tread mill, the bike, what ever it takes. I wasn't able to do any excercise for a year because of my health. So I had to have mine done.  Biggest regret.  But too late now.  I have 5 minutes left on the computer library.  My feelings may change after I heal, but for now, I wish I had never had it done.  Worse then the tummy tuck.  Best of luck on your new journey, God be with you, Kathy
