Kathy, I'm so glad you posted an update on your journal. I was wondering why you haven't been to support group meetings for awhile. I'm glad you are doing well in MT. Congrats on the new job offer. Even though you've moved to another state, please keep us updated. You've been an inspiration to me and I'd like to know how you are doing from time to time.

Way to go, Kathy. I'm so glad you're feeling better. You've been in my prayers daily. Soon you'll be going home and you'll start feeling better and better every day. Congratulations on being a new post-op!

Kathy, sounds like things are starting to get a little better each day. Glad to hear it. I will continue to keep you in my daily prayers.

OOps hit that darn enter key..... Praise the Lord. I just talked to Kathy and she has a voice...... and a little laugh... She is feeling much better. Her back still hurts, and her bladder infection is improving. She said she got more sleep today than she has had all week. That is quite an improvement. She was up 4 times today, but said she thinks she over did it. But I think we all felt that way every day. lol Thank you all for your prayers. I think that they were answered. Keep Kathy in your thoughts and prayers, and soon she will be up and feeling terrific.

I went to the hospital to see Kathy today. The surgery went well, but she is in a lot of pain in her back. She can't get any sleep, and is awakened after just a few minutes when she does fall asleep. Her Oxygen levels keep dropping, and the monotor goes off a lot. She is using her C-pap most of the time. Her dear mother is at her side trying to make her comfortable. Her mother said she has only been up and took a couple of steps forward and backward. She is coughing and that is good. I hope she can get some good sleep soon. She is too exhausted to even stay awake. Lets all say a prayer for Kathy. She needs a little help here.
