ship-jumper's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A wish for kind and healing thoughts Greetings again! First, thank ya so much for the great comments about our little ones. Even though they are dogs and not two legged human kids, I still beam with such pride when someone says my little ones are cute!! For those that missed it you'll have to hit the previous button and check out yesterdays entry for some good kid pics! It's Sunday night and Kel is going to try and snuggle in for a few hours. We have to be up at 5 AM so that we arrive at the hospital for our 6 o'clock check-in. She is FINALLY having her nasty gall bladder taken out after years of fighting horrific and at time debilitating pain. While this is a GOOD thing, my poor honey is so very scared and it breaks my heart. She had a very nasty experience one time years ago with anesthesia at a dentist office and that is the only procedure she's ever had in her life. The unknown is scary. It's hard to believe everyone telling you that the anesthesia won't be a problem when your only experience was a nightmare. She's only ever had an IV once since that nightmare and that scares her too. I've had quite a few surgeries over my years, and so the thought of my having surgery or anyone else is pretty nonchalant. I forget that isn't necessarily the norm! I've had to remind myself many times over the past few weeks as Kel would share with me her concerns that this is completely foreign to her and rightfully so she is scared and nervous over the whole ordeal. Should all go as planned it will be done laproscopically and she will be able to go home in the afternoon. I get to play nurse maid for sure the first of her two weeks of recoup time. Dang. I really should have found myself a nurses uniform, eh? Despite my somewhat comfortable outlook with surgeries, I of course am worried about Kel. Yes, it's a straight forward surgery and all will go with ease I'm sure, but I can't help but worry. And I so hate to see her in pain! However, the good thing at least is that her pain this time will be GOOD pain; no more fierce attacks and nauseating pain down the road!!! And that IS a good thing! So for those that haven't given up on me and continue to check in for my updates, I ask you to keep Kel in your thoughts today and wish for her speedy recovery and patience with my cooking over the next couple of weeks!! Chow for now. I'll update tomorrow once I get her quiet and settled back at home. 11:16 p.m. - 2008-04-20 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
