No, this is not a post about the song from Annie meeting those kids from Elm Street - I wish it was :)
I have to be at Kaiser Sunnyside Medical Center at 0630 tomorrow morning. My surgery is scheduled for 0830. The estimate is two to three hours so I doubt there will be any word until sometime after noon. I will be in recovery for a while before I am moved to my room.
Kaiser does not permit cell phones and all electronics have to be battery operated so I will be tube-less during my stay. I won't know until tomorrow when I chat with the doc pre-op how long I will be hospitalized. I am hoping for it to be just overnight for monitoring and that I am discharged Thursday morning. Fingers and toes crossed!
Stephanie knows how to sign in so that she can write a post here updating folks how I'm doing tomorrow. Again, I don't expect her to have any information to share until late afternoon at the earliest.
I want to thank everyone for sending me warm positive thoughts and prayers during this difficult time -- I owe you all such a debt of gratitude - words fail to express how much it has meant to me to have your support.
The positive to all this is that as of tomorrow, I will finally be on the road to recovery -- no longer on hold waiting - and will be able to start thinking about getting my life back to what it was 'before'. That and spending all this time with both my girls and watching my granddaughter grow by leaps and bounds daily. I am so thankful that I did not drop her when I fell.
The candle is lit and prayers and good thoughts flowing.
ReplyDeleteHugs Suz, you get well and get back to us, we all miss you!

ReplyDeletethanks molly - i really appreciate your support.
DeleteSuze,you know it - lots and lots of prayers and good thoughts and vibes and every possible good thing will be (and are now) coming your way tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteGlad you know your times - well before the crack of noon, huh? Such a good attitude...the beginning of the recovery.
Poor Stephanie - taking care of all of you, and tasked to update your virtual friends/family, too.
Just be your strong self, and you will be fine. Much love to you and your wonderful strong family. We miss your nighttime voice, but we'll be there waiting whenever you're ready.
thanks cheryl/tejan -- well before the crack of noon but then... i've only been sleeping for 3 hours at a time or so so it won't be as hard as it would if i was sleeping regulary.
Deletestephanie has been a rock -- such a blessing. the good news about me being in the hospital is that she will only have one patient to take care of instead of two....
Hi Suz, will be thinking of you at odarkthirty tomorrow, and as the day goes along.
ReplyDeleteHope you had some happy valentine energy today. So sorry you are in this mess, but medical technology and orthopedics are really top-notch these days, so I know you will be in good hands.
Get rest tonight, and don't push the river. Take the time you need on the front end of this so the back end will be over faster. hugs, b
thanks bg. had heart shaped french toast and heart shaped bacon for dinner :) :) :)
DeleteHi Suz, adding to the megatons of healing energy that we who love you have been sending out to you. I'll be thinking about you tomorrow. The docs and their team will have you fixed up in no time. We'll all look forward to an update from Steph whenever she has a moment.
