OMG16 having surgery
« on: January 25, 2008, 05:26:44 pm »
I spoke w/ OMG16 for quite some time on the phone this afternoon(what a wonderful & encouraging lady she is!!).  She is having surgery first thing Monday morning.  (It sounds pretty intense to me.)  I asked her if she was going to post it on here and she didn't want to since it is not for AN.  I told her I thought that people would want to know and be thinking of/praying for her.  She said that it would be OK if I did it, so I'm letting everyone know!!
Good Luck OMG16 -- you in my thoughts & prayers!

Wow.  Well, she certainly didn't let on that she had surgery coming up!  It is nice of her to be so supportive of everyone else when she clearly has a lot on her plate right now!

16 - speedy recovery to you!  You'll be in our prayers and we'll repay you all those kisses to the forehead!

Thanks again Steve you are a wealth of information.  Hopefully when I recover I will remember this as I am medicated right now and am having problems thinking and am falling asleep with the computer on my lap.  It is a sight to see me on the love seat with my weiner dog and chihuahua falling asleep while typing.  :-* O  :-* M :-*  G  :-* 1  :-* G  :-*

We have a little tradition of putting our "pirate sox" on for anyone having a procedure done, so ours are on for you 16! I've got special ones with pink and black stripes--they even have matching evening gloves which I may have to don as well!  You have been such a source of inspiration for all of us here.  Best of luck to you and know we will all be thinking of you.

Be well and sail on!

Nancy thank you.  How are you doing?  I saw your post op pictures and you look great!  I was reading some old posts and I saw that you fight insurance companies for a living as do I.  We are work sisters!

Phyl I love your huggles and certainly enjoyed the smoochie.  I hope that you are doing well.

K you were right and I am enjoying all of the posts.  It is so heart warming and just knowing that my forum members are wishing me well makes it a little easier.

Captain Deb I have a visual of the evening gloves and pirate sox and I say wear them both.  I am experiencing some of the stress pre op that all of you have gone through.  I'm understand just a little more what it is like to have to make these decisions that can affect the quality of our lives post op.  I admire each of you more everyday!

Take care all of you and I will post after surgery when I can and will let you know what they ended up doing.   :-* 16

I thought I would post a short message to let all of you know that I made it through surgery and am recovering at home now.  I will post more when I am feeling up to it.  Now it is time for a nap.  Thank you everyone for your posts, prayers, hugs and kisses.
