Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: wysiwyg Date: 28 Nov 12 - 09:08 AM Thanks leenia! There are new horrors daily. Today it is the reality that 59 year old skin shreds with 11 weeks of tape removal. And that wound packing material can disappear inside the wound and be found... eventually, with luck! And that no one drew a map of the tunnels under the skin so that the dozen or so nurses who pack the wound and measure healing in there know where to pack, unpack, or measure... which means I just wasted 2 weeks of ins. bennies! This does not include the UTI. left untreated because the attending doc is out hunting... or the unanswered questions I am holding for him, or.... But that was just the first 4 hours.... and this thread really should migrate to the BS section. It's just too much to post each day. But now that I went off tge heavy meds I am taking notes! Moved below the line, per request. --Mudelf who is following your progress with fingers crossed. |

I have ducks in a row but not sure how well they will stay lined up. And I am sicck now w a nasty UTI w brain fog. Pray hard pls!!! Thanks! |

Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: wysiwyg Date: 22 Nov 12 - 05:25 PM Ungarbled from above post (TBTG for puder access) Tho still sleeping half the day away, I am feeling stronger (bored) each day. I estimate about 2 more weeks bere and you guys have been a great lifeline ... keep it up pls! Fone-posting is very slow... Has it been worth "all this"? Yes... I have not not actually been more disabled than I already was... it is just taking longer to enjoy the benefits than I had hoped. === So many things to adjust to-- scar tissue is tight like many seatbelts, nerves that were cut are coming back to life in a very weird way, and I have... a LAP????!?!?!?!? What is this thing you call a LAP? I can put on my own.... socks???? What else???? Thyroid.... ENERGY??? But now I am not sleeping-- I seem to be in-between wound healings. The first complication is just about filled in and the second has not yet begun to form significant amounts of granulation tissue under th skin. I am betting that when it does the sleeping will resume. I am briefly visiting the house to have a light meal with Hardi and gather a few more items to make my room at the Home nicer-- and considering how to prep for possible service-dog residence there to make me walk more, there. We had our turkey at the Home-- the food there is really purty good! ~S~ |

Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: wysiwyg Date: 16 Nov 12 - 07:21 PM Remarkable what 2 bags of packed red cells can do! |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: wysiwyg Date: 14 Nov 12 - 10:34 AM Nursing home today. And no more wound vac!!! |

Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 14 Nov 12 - 09:41 AM I hope so too, Wysiwyg. |

Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: wysiwyg Date: 13 Nov 12 - 10:56 PM Yup... that is the great question. |

Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 13 Nov 12 - 08:51 PM At some point you'll have to tell us if the cure was worse than the original problem. SRS |

Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: wysiwyg Date: 13 Nov 12 - 04:04 PM 2 units of packed red cells now on board. running...antibiotics IV and iron |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: LilyFestre Date: 12 Nov 12 - 05:43 PM :( Infections in incisions can be scary. I hope you have a good medical team that is working hard for you and making sure you are comfortable. Continued prayers for your recovery. Michelle |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: Charmion Date: 12 Nov 12 - 12:31 PM Holy crap. Fingers crossed. I don't understand how someone with a fresh incision -- especially one that size, with in-dwelling drains -- could be discharged home without daily nursing support. That's just nuts. |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: wysiwyg Date: 12 Nov 12 - 12:07 PM :~( Well, I landed back in the local ER Sat.. with a section of the original incision the sz of a soccer ball-- it was fun when they lanced THAT! Pus! Also very anemic. Next stop nursing home. |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 09 Nov 12 - 10:49 AM I hope by now things have sorted out enough that you're feeling better and the surgery has had the desired repair or effect. Kick the sides every now and then to let us know you're there! (An original Star Trek reference, probably obscure to the young'uns who might stumble on this thread.) SRS |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: LilyFestre Date: 09 Nov 12 - 06:56 AM Peeking in to say hello and hoping the healing continues. What I said to you in my note still stands. Michelle |
|

Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: wysiwyg Date: 03 Nov 12 - 01:36 PM Emergency help only. I am too young to acess local excellent svcs for the aged. |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 30 Oct 12 - 02:38 PM Where I live, I could pick up the phone, dial 211, and say "Somebody help me!" Have you got 211 service, WysiwiG? How about the county dept of aging? Can they get you some more help? |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Oct 12 - 11:37 AM I am seriously missing the many departments that support tge excellent nursing care at the nursing home... its hard for one person who is seldom home to get if all done and it is hard to wait 2-3 days for the nurse whe tends the wound vac to get around to me.... |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: wysiwyg Date: 24 Oct 12 - 03:50 PM Tomorrow or Friday I will be discharged to home health care, tho I am stjll sleeping 20 out of 24 hours and weak as a kitten with Hardi seldom home. |

Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: Dharmabum Date: 20 Oct 12 - 05:45 AM Hi Susan, There's 10 gallons of Ulysses"Frack Free"springwater waiting for you at home. DB. |

Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: GUEST,WYS-guest Date: 19 Oct 12 - 08:36 PM It certainly beats the gushing and slime trail that preceded it. ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: GUEST,999 Date: 19 Oct 12 - 05:31 PM Ditto that, Susan. |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: LilyFestre Date: 19 Oct 12 - 05:20 PM My mom wore a wound vac for almost an entire summer maybe 4 years back. They way they help heal the wound is pretty interesting stuff. Hope you are having good luck with it. Michelle |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: GUEST,mg Date: 19 Oct 12 - 03:02 PM Interesting..I just heard two nurses this weekend talk about wound vac..they were very much for it in some situations. Hope you are getting the care you need and the insurance comes around. mg |

Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: wysiwyg Date: 19 Oct 12 - 02:12 PM For a little fun, look up "wound dehiscence" and piciture stuffing half a bunch of banana in where it would be more normal to pull a baby out in a C section. Then, look up "wound vac." |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 12 Oct 12 - 10:24 AM Perhaps in a quieter, more stable environment, the healing will be faster. I hope so, anyway. I'll think healing thoughts. |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: wysiwyg Date: 12 Oct 12 - 12:51 AM Finally got into a nursing hm Sunday (ER. admission) w open incion draining, for 6-8 dressing chgs/day. Healing going very slowly. |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: LilyFestre Date: 02 Oct 12 - 11:19 AM I hope things straighten themselves out. Medical messes are difficult enough to deal with when you are well/healed/good health. Michelle |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 02 Oct 12 - 09:59 AM I'm praying, as you requested, Susan. I sure hope this all works out for you. Does the hospital have a social worker? Might be worth a visit. |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: wysiwyg Date: 02 Oct 12 - 01:05 AM What I tend not to talk about are the messy post-surg details no one should have to deal with-- without either skilled help or a houseful of strong wimminzes. ~Susan |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: KT Date: 01 Oct 12 - 04:04 PM Thinking of you Susan. Recovery from something like this can take all you've got and then some. Here's hoping that things will turn around for you today and that you'll be feeling fit as a fiddle soon. KT |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: wysiwyg Date: 01 Oct 12 - 03:54 PM Well, I got to the bottom of the "Jesus, I just can't take this anymore" prayer today.... had a good ole boohoo and affirmed even more strongly that (A) I am NOT supposed to be home yet and (B) my surgeon totally screwed up my aftercare program-- and made sure the insurance will keep making it hard for me to cobble up my own, make-do, "home plan." So I am here asking for prayer-- this time a very focused prayer: that the insurance gates open wide, and that I get into a nursing home ASAP for at least a couple of weeks. ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Chaplet of Divine Mercy (WYS surgery) From: wysiwyg Date: 23 Sep 12 - 12:26 PM Discharge tdy to local hotel so I can keep doc appt tmrw, then home n outpt PT with home hlth aide as needed. |
