My First Update
|
My First Update Well it seems life forever that I even opened my blog to write anything. I survived the surgery though. Yeah. It was four hours and I guess they saw more of a problem when they slit my throat and got to the cervical spine. Instead of working on C4 and 5, they did C3-6. After the surgery I had a great deal of difficuty swallowing,. They moved the esophagus around and it got very swollen. They put me on IVs because even liquids weren't going down well. They had me a on a soft diet and I was able to wash down some food after four days. I was disappointed that my fingers were now helped by the surgery. If anyone of you know of a good voice recognition program for my PC please let me know. That would make me more available on here. When I left the hospital, thry transfered me to a convalescent facility from (HEL  Therd they had me on a diet of food that was mashed up and rolled in balls and dropped on a plate and all the liquids were thickened with honey and some powder. It was the most unappetising food I have ever seen. Even the water was thickened. They wouldn't give a walker and would allow Wayne bring in the one we bought. I had to borrow my room mates walker to use thr bathroom. You couldn't get a nurse in less than 15 minutes and every question i had went unanswered. They kept telling me that I could change the diet or move around until I saw the speech therapist. So after waiting four days and then being told it would to more....I decided to sign myself out of there. Wayne had been sneaking me in coffee, water and pudding but that was all it had. they wouldn't even give me a drink of water.....real water. As a retired nurse I couldn't believe what was happening. I just wanted to go home. When we got home Wayne had to leave for Vegas for four days and he wanted me to go with him so I did. It was a comfortable ride in the car and when we got there I settled in. He had to be at "market" during the day but he called regularly and I ordered from room service. The staff there were wonderful to me. We were at the Tikki Village on this trip and I love it there. Usually we are in Vegas for a week but market is only four days. On the fourth day he got home early and took me out gambling that evening. That was fun. We drove home the next day and it is so nice to be home. I am not using the walker anymore and my balance it good. I can't eat more now and looking forward to big juicy steak, one of these days. I lost 10 pounds that I didn't need to loose. I do have an appointment with the surgeon tomorrow and I am anxious to see what he has to say. THANK YOU ARE FOR YOUR KIND AND BEAUTIFUL MESSAGES AND COMMENTS. THANK ALL OF YOU WHO VOTED FOR ME IN THE VALENTINE'S CONTEST. I DID COME IN FOURTH AND WAS THE OLDEST IN THE CONTEST. NOT TOO BAD FOR AN OLD BROAD. Hugs and Kisses to all of you. You are such special people. Judy |

Hi Judy, am glad to hear that the surgery went off ok but not the part about your fingers still can't work to good for you. Also the part of your being in a rehab from hell and the way you were being treat or not treated and finally got yourself out of there. I do hope you can get something positive from the surgeon when you go see him. Wayne must be doing pretty good since he drove to Vegas and you went with him. Good he came to see you every day and snuck you in water, coffee and pudding since you weren't getting what you needed there. Congratulations on coming in fourth in the Valentine's contest and am sure you were just as hot as any of them in it and you are not an old broad in our eyes, you are special. Take care of yourself and in prayers....xoxox...Jerry
