First off, I want to say I will hopefully be catching up on every one's blogs soon! Moving on! It is Thursday, which also means it is time for Thank You Very Much by Kmama. Join along.
To Dr. Ferrari (as I call him instead of Dr. Faresi), thank you very much for removing my gallbladder. I love you even more now. I shall see you in 2 weeks with bells on.
To Mrs. Grumpy Nurse in recovery, thank you very much for ignoring me call out for you. YES, I heard you (and actually still remember it lol) reply to the other nurse, "I know," when told I was calling for you. What if I had been dying, huh? So what if I had forgot where I was again and wanted another ice chip and to know why I felt like my right side had been removed and did I have to keep the oxygen thingy on still. It could have been important. You didn't know that.
To my oxygen and blood pressure levels for misbehaving a little during surgery causing me not to get pain medicine in a quick and timely fashion (re: KNOCK ME OUT WITH SOME GOOD STUFF NOW!) thank you very much. I like the sore throat from oxygen and LOVE having my blood pressure taken by a robot every 2 minutes and being told to "Breathe harder!' by Mrs. Grumpy Nurse.
To my oxygen and blood pressure levels for finally behaving themselves and allowing me to get some good stuff NOW, thank you very much!
To all the other nurses, with the exception of Mrs. Grumpy Nurse, you ROCKED, so thank you very much. Seriously, they took care of me like I was having a baby or my kidneys removed or something. They. Were. Awesome. I remember one of your names is Marsha. Thanks. Thanks to the brown headed gal too.
To Mrs. Nightingale Nurse who gave me the whole shot at once instead of waiting an hour between doses like Mrs. Grumpy Nurse said, thank you very much. (She didn't do it wrong or anything, either, that is what the dr. said to do in the first place, as a matter of fact, but Mrs. Grumpy Nurse suddenly added "Surgeon" to her list of credentials and made that lovely decision for him, or so she thought. The other ladies rolled their eyes at you and smirked as you walked away, too, by the way. So ha ha.)
To everyone for keeping me in their thoughts and prayers, thank you very much. They were needed, and felt.
So head on over to Kmama's for more fun with Thank You Very Much!
P.S. I am doing "okay" today, as I am typing this "live" and all. I was in MISERY for a short period of time until I could have some more medication, and I admit I kinda lay there and moaned like a dying llama or something, but after all, they had just removed an organ. I cannot sit in one position for very long without getting very sore, but I am able to get up and move about and that helps work out the soreness. I am taking my pain meds on the dot, so I don't know how much pain I would be in with out that, and I don't plan to slow it down until Saturday, when I hope to go to our church's singing. (Yeah, I know probably not the smartest thing to do, but people can go back to work after a week of having this surgery, so I think if I behave I will be okay.) Other than that, "slight discomfort" would be a small understatement, but I am tolerating it very well. NONE of the pain (before, during, and after) was worse than my last gallbladder attack, so that is something to be thankful for! Well, I am pushing my limits on "computer chair time" and I need to get up, but I'll be back for Letters of Intent on Friday!

((((((((((Cuzzin Lisa))))))))) I am so happy that you posted! I'm thrilled that you are doing well and able to even get to your puter chair...we have those "Granny White" genes though, so you're gonna be just fine...hey you might even sing a tune with Grammy Rosemary at the singing on Sat. evening...and maybe if your real spunky you'll head bang with Dylan...ROFL!!! =-) Love ya, Cuzzin Robyn
LOL@ Cuzzin Robyn's comment about Lisa head banging with Dylan! That was cute and on time!
Great to see that you are feeling up to sitting up and doing a little blogging, i thought you would..
I want to say a special thanks to Aunt Willie for keeping me posted about your surgery and progress.
Take care of yourself, and just thank God that you didn't have to deal with nurse Grumpy any more than you absolutely had to! Let's all pray for the poor patients that are having to deal with her today! mmmmm
Alva Mae
Yea, I look forward to your letter tomorrow!
What is up with Nurse Grumpy? Doesn't she realize she is in a profession that involves being a caretaker and N.I.C.E. Dumb woman.
Glad to hear you are doing well. Don't let up on the pain meds. It's so hard to catch up to the pain if you don't maintain the meds.
Thanks for linking up, even when you are home recovering!
I'm glad things went well, aside from the blood pressure and oxygen issues.
You get feeling better, okay??
I hope you feel better soon! I actually just talked to one of my bff's and she had emergency gallbladder surgery last week. She's feeling better and she was telling me all about the pain she (and Im sure you) went through before hand.
Just think in a couple weeks you'll be up and running around after Dylan!
((hugs))
Praise the Lord for our miracles - even if He allows them to come through the hands of a good looking Italian doctor!
I agree with Mrs "Foresons" about Nurse Grumpy. She needs to improve her bedside manner. However, maybe we should cut her a little slack; she might have been on the tail end of a 24 hour double - nurses are an "endangered species" and many hospitals are very short staffed in the nurse arena.
You are welcome, Alva Mae, for the updates. E-mail is a marvelous (and sometimes an annoying) thing. And, thanks to my awesome group of prayer warriors (including Alva Mae) for your prayers and many responses to my updates on Lisa! May God bless the socks off each and every one of you!
And, my dear niece Lisa, just continue to take it easy and do as you are supposed to and you will be up and back to your normal, wonderful self in a few days. Take your pillow to church Saturday nite for the singing so you can protect yourself from Cullen and hugs all around!
I love you and hope to see you in 6 days -- pray for good weather!
