I send all my love and prayers |

I am truly Blessed to have so many caring friends. Some, I didn't even realize I had. Thank You All sooo Much!! They took my phone away from me the other night when they caught me texting. My laptop was brought to me this morning. I am finally allowed to communicate with the outside world. I am doing well but have a long road to travel. You dont reailze what you have till its gone and the breathing and respritory therapy are the hardest part. Although it is a little easier this morning since they took out my drain tube. Talking is impossible without deep breaths. It is difficult to watch the ones who love you go tru this. It is more difficult to know how to help them, when you dont know how to help yourself. How, when you know all the odds.... Do you tell someone that you have decided to try something.... unimaginable? I had 3 choices. Lay down n die. Fight with treatment n die anyway. Or let them go in and see if there was anything they could do. God chose to Bless me...the tumor was external and they were able to remove it. They took the bottom 1/3 of my right lung as well. I knew exactly what my odds of surviving it were. They were no better or worse than the others. My odds still are not good. But they are soo much better than they were. I have a chance to LIVE!! To the one I hurt with my decision....I can only say I had a difficult choice. I made it myself. I made it for....ME! I did exactly what you encouraged me to do. "Do what is best for you and let noone influence you" Why it is sooo hard to understand...I dont know. I never lied. I did not intentionally decieve. I just couldnt find it in me to tell you. For that....I will be forever sorry. Thank You all again for your Prayers and Kindness. |

It is best to sleep through the pain and let the body do the healing that it needs too... |

Been thinking a lot about this whole "get better" process and I wish I had some better drawing skills. I think I could do a whole cartoon book from the "Patient's" side of the fence.
I kept having this over riding desire to post a sign on my hospital room door saying something to the effect of Enter at your OWN RISK! I am not a F-ing Patient I am a PERSON! If you can not remember that Then you don't work on my Team!!! Knock before you enter; I pay the rent here! Then a picture of me chokeing the ship out of a snot nosed resident in one hand and some old hag of a nurse with wheelchair tread marks on her *** with the other! One thing I did learn was laying a voice activated recorder on the desk when some jerk "professional" decided to tell me "how it is going to be" sure toned down their "I am God" attitude. Being able to quote the federal Patient Bill of Rights doesn't hurt either. That sounded like a load of crap taking your phone and computer away from you. I have been thinking about requireing all medical facility hospital gowns to print the Consumer Ombudsman toll free number right on the chest of them on them. The heck of it is they have such an huge number of Consumers versus Ombudsman's they can't keep up. If you really care about Consumer treatment in the medical services email your representatives about this issue and help level the "playing field" for patients because they ARE really out numbered when they are "in the system". Yea I know what you mean ghost the therapist sometimes seem more like terrorists. Lot of times no pain no gain. Does make you wonder of some of them are sadistic. Hang in there. |

if you still can't find crazy glue.......... there always DUCT tape!!
best to keep it on until fully healed though.. that stuff really friggen sticks! worst case scenario.. if you loose a staple.. I gots me a staple gun I've yet tried.. it's brand new, still sealed.. and figure it MUST be sterile!! let the healing begin! |
