Topic: RE: Infection...Wonderling..
Oh my, the story just keeps going.
Today, a huge fluid mixed with blood loss pool in the kitchen, another trip to ER, not attended to by her surgeon, told after many hours nothing to do - just a pocket of fluid mixed with blood (hematoma/seroma) and bye. Not an infection. Some attention from the surgeon would have gone a LONG way in good will here. The surgeon didn't come down from her office. And, Wonderling shot up with morphine in a gown couldn't get up to the surgeon's office (who had told her to go the ER in the first place, then told her to come up to the office, etc.).
wow

Topic: RE: Surgery tomorrow
If I were there I'd write on a card in big letters "DREAM ON" and put that on the table next to your bed so when you wake up post up you will remember and smile because YOUR DREAM is starting!!
It is so wonderful. Work, yes, but working a dream is awesome.

Wow, I'll have to check that out.
Someone did write me on OH and ask my permission to use something from my blog. I kind of wondered when if ever that would happen. Interesting. The person who wrote stated they would send me a copy?? Thanks for the message Yvonne.

Topic: Sorta "cheated" tonight......
but not really.
I got to start puree today. I had some refried beans w/cheese early in the day. Man was that tasty! Well the family went to this seafood restaurant tonight for fish and chips. I went along for the ride. Well after I got there I figured I would try a piece of fish so I got some orange roughy (broiled) and I CHEWED THE HECK out of it. I ate a very tiny portion of it. Man did it taste good. I went down ok and I am not feeling any ill will now. I could see myself eating that a lot with some nice veggies later on dow the road.
I'll stick with my puree the rest of the week now!

Topic: RE: Cat Talk....OT
Dh just isn't a cat person! I am not going to push the issue with him righ at this particular time. Hopefully another kitty may come into my life later down the road.......
I haven't seen the neighbor kitty out anymore THANK GOD. I did finally take him home and told her that she should reconsider letting him out - not safe for him.
