She went for Surgery on 3/11...everything seems to be normal now. Normal being: in pain, depressed, hungry but not hungry, uncomfortable, frustrated, very tired, etc. I say Normal 'cause brother Michael visited today and they were comparing Notes...
- Michael actually lifted his shirt up to show us his scars
- Judy Ann matched him by lifting her shirt & showing him wear her stitches are still in place!
And Michael says, "yes, exactly"...From scars and stitches they then went to Swelling...
- Leg swelling
- Ankle swelling
- Foot swelling
From there they proceeded to discuss Blood Pressure & Heart Rhythms...
YIKES!!!
- At that point I had to go walk the Dog...
The biggest surprise to me is that when she went into the Hospital Judy Ann weighed 81lbs. On the day she was discharged from the Hospital she weighed 111 lbs. Do the Math, that is a 30 lb weight gain in 12 days!
- Not even a BM could do that!
- And we can do some serious Weight Gaining
Bottom line...she is Home; Nurse Gerry is the Caregiver; she is getting better; she's got New Pipes!; and what she refers to as her "Pear Shape" will dissipate with time.
- Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers & thank you Mary for the Bean Soup, Chicken catchatoori(?) and Chili con Carney....by the way, did you make any Cherry Cheese Cake or Soda Bread ?

pea, you would not make a good nurse
Pea, your last comment is spoken like the true liberal you are, trying to profit through another's misfortune! If you do receive cheesecake or soda bread do the RIGHT thing and donate it to a charity.
Suggested charity idea:
"TJMcK Home For Ill Gotten Goodies" Lancaster PA
