Hello you all! I am so excited. Yesterday my Physical Therapist gave me permission to type again! Ugghh, I was suffering not doing journals, LOL.
My shoulder and arm still hurt. I have to keep them in a sling part of the time. And I still have to go to physical therapy. I am not sure how long. The Physical Therapist said we would play it by ear. I can't believe falling down the steps could cause all of this. It was two weeks ago that I fell. I thought I would be better by now!
Okay, enough on that subject. Let's see, what has been new since I last talked to you? I got 1 gig of RAM for my computer, which i am SO excited about, but I can't figure out how to instal it, LOL. You think I would be able to do this. I installed my own DSL, so you think I would be a more clever girl. Oh well. Anyway, I am going to see if my friend Jen will come over and put it in for me. :)
What else is new? I am losing weight. It is a very novel approach. I am also going to be doing a weight loss journal. If you are interested in finding out the address of the journal, and want to be included, please leave a comment in the comments section. I will include you.
Hmm, what else is new? I still need to get those pics I promised you, LOL. I have not been able to do much with one arm, LOL.
This weekend Val and I are going to have a Superbowl Party. That should be fun!
On Monday John and I are going to Hershey again. We will be there Monday through Wednesday for appointments. On Monday his oncologist will probably tell him whether or not his spleen will be removed, to stop his Hemolytic Anemia, so that he will no longer need blood transfusions. I thought I was fine, but I am somewhat anxious. I watched a spleenectomy on a video on the web. Well, in one sense it is a simple procedure. In another sense they have to do some cutting. So I am scared.
Please, I know I need to have faith, so no positive platitudes are necessary, LOL. I just wanted to say I am scared. I think it is normal to be scared. When he is safe at home, I won't be scared anymore. We were told that the recovery time is six weeks at home to completely recover. All I know is this. He almost died so many times, and now I am a little flippy. Sorry, LOL.
Okay, that is all for now. I am SO glad to be back. Now I can start commenting in your journals now. If I don't get to you, sorry, I may have to erase some of my alerts, LOL, I have 184 emails! I may have to start afresh!
Love you all, Krissy :)
PS. Hello to my new friends Dee and Gundog!

were all so glad to have you back too. Looking forward to reading some more of your enteries but dont over do it you dont want to be told to stop again... Great to see you back

I don't think faith means an absence of fear, exactly. I think it means going forward, trusting in spite of not knowing it all, or how it will turn out. Faith stops fear from paralizing us. Glad you are better! I think a tumble down stairs is about the worst home injury one could suffer. - Barbara

It`s really nice to have you back Krissy, I hope your arm and shoulder are 100% very soon. I think it`s only natural that you are jittery where John is concerned, you been through so much together not to be. Take care both of you. :o)
ReplyDeleteSandra xxxx
Good to have ya back.
ReplyDeleteLove,

I think I may have said this before but both of my parents have had surgery at Hershey and (as I'm sure you know) they are WONDERFUL there. Of course, it's all still scary... but at least John's not having his surgery done at Gus's Spleen-O-Rama.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you back Krissy! I'm sure John will be fine if he has to have the splenectomy, he's been through so much already, I know he's a fighter but it is normal to be scared. You shouldn't have watched the video of the op ....too much information for you! Have a great weekend, enjoy the Superbowl! Jeannette xx http://journals.aol.co.uk/jlocorriere05/Welcometomytravels/

Glad that you are able to come back to journaling!! Sorry that John is possibly going to have to have surgery. I know its scary, and you have a right to be a little apprehensive. However, I know it will be just fine whether or not they decide to do it.
ReplyDeleteGreg

Welcome back, Krissy! Get well soon. I can understand your fear about the new procedure that John has to go through. You guys had been through a lot. Praying for you both.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are back and I hope that the rest of your recovery is quick.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see your weight loss journal. It is something that I am trying to do and maybe it would help encourage me. I do wish you luck
It is normal to be scared I would be too. Nothing like having your hubby home to make you feel better. You will both be in my prayers.
Barbara
Glad you are back! Hope you are feeling better and doing well! Congrats on the weight loss. I've lost a few pounds moving from FL to KY as well. Hello to John and hope the appointment went well.
