This Broken Wheel is Coming Undone....
Dr. Yang was in this morning - all cool, calm, and collected. He assures me the hemorrhaging will stop. To lower the risk of possible infection (remember the elevated white blood cell count?) he is having my central line that was surgically put into my neck removed today and starting a large bore peripheal line into my arm. This will be the new way I will be receiving all further blood, meds, etc.

That's reassuring! I'm holding on to that as GOOD NEWS! All is relative. Hope your rash has subsided and you're feeling at least a bit better. I know all this seems impossible to bear so stay strong and focus on the jabberwocky (Alice in Wonderland...try to figure that one out in your spare time :-). Think how great your life will be once you get over these hurdles.
ReplyDeleteThere certainly are many bumps in your road. It seems impossible when you are going through it but later it will fade. Dr. Yang being cool and collected is a good thing, hang on to that. You can do this!! Sounds like the staff is truly amazing. We are grateful that they are taking such good care of you.

Bob, prayers, mass, prayers, thinking of you....did you know we had a meteor shower the last two nights...well not that we could see since it rained; however, i recall being on blankets watching a meteor shower with you and your gang...maybe in a state park, poison ivy state park perhaps and we left because of the biting bugs. Hope your itch has subsided as well as your bleeding. Keeo the faith my good friend.
ReplyDeleteYes I remember.

What a beautiful night!
Hope to do that again with my great camping friends.
Thanks so much for checking in.
If suffering builds character, patience and makes you strong then you will emerge as a bonafide superhero! When you go through rough storms and come out into the sunshine on the other side, life is warmer, sweeter and more precious. God will use this for good in your life.
ReplyDeleteThanks for allowing us to walk with you on this journey.
I listened to music, danced and pray today, all for you! May tomorrow be a better day! Sleep tight and don't let 'the bed bugs bite'! Just kidding! Hope the itch is under control! Not to mention everything else! Jo :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you heard a bit of good news today--will pray this trend of news will continue in a positive direction. Sorry you have the rash--very annoying I'm sure. Will keep positive thoughts and prayers going your way! Feast of the Assumption is this week. Will pray for the Blessed Mother to interven to her Son on your behalf with graces and healing. I pray also to the Holy Spirit for the health care workers who care for you--keep them alert, vigilant, wise, knowledgable, skilled, and caring. Sleep well tonight--keep hopeful and faithful thoughts on your mind. Dot
ReplyDeleteif your doctor hasn't pulled the eject handle yet, you shouldn't either. better days ahead! keep focused. keep strong. you will get thru this and be much better for it!
ReplyDeleteBob, your mind is so much better than all of ours. I guess the next camping will be Applefest 2013; unless its hot pepper fest 2013. Thoughts and prayers from all of us. Hope you have a peaceful and restful night.
ReplyDeleteI am expecting your Dr.'s next to fill you with some liquid metal, and then for you to have sharp metallic claws protruding through your hands...and you being impervious to all things!
ReplyDeleteHugh Jackman/Wolverine has nothing on you Bob!
Thoughts, prayers, hopes, and humor with you cousin from us here on the "Left Coast"
