    THR Kay's Recovery Stages

    thank you everyone for the well wishes and replies. Thought I'd get by to add a quick update. Week 8 post op and day 7 of hospitalization due to pulmonary embolism and clot in leg. I'm still in the hospital for the clots. I've been told for the past 3 days that I could 'probably go home...

    THR Kay's Recovery Stages

    @charmed-life Thank you for the encouragement. I know I need to trust in those providing my health care. For the most part I do, there are just a couple that I wonder about. For being in the shape I'm in, I suppose I'm in the best place I could be for now. At least it's close to home and makes...

    THR Kay's Recovery Stages

    @charmed-life Thank you. I am indeed bordering on panic mode tonight. Not sure why. Think maybe the reality of my situation is beginning to sink in. Haven't had much sleep either so that doesn't help. I do appreciate this site and to all of you who listen and care. I need to clarify too that I...

    just wondering if any of you share through Facebook or the like? Or if that's allowed? Would be nice to chat with some of you sometime if anyone is interested. Don't want to post info that's not allowed though. I looked at the social tab here briefly, but seems to be mostly of games and such...

    THR Kay's Recovery Stages

    Update well, tomorrow will be 5 full weeks: Last update I think I mentioned frozen pipes and cold weather. The 'rest of the story' was that once things thawed out I was left with two water leaks, all repaired and good as new now. This morning I awoke to the sound of thunder and at final count...

    THR Wished I'd found you before

    @Hoppy Nanny Ah Chrissie! I was a bit concerned over having chuffed your sister, until I read a bit further. I was concerned yet again when I realized no one had bothered to tell me about flute squeezing. :rofsign: Thankfully I kept my focus and read through your thread. Can't wait to use...

I'm just wondering how anyone will know there is a question as there's quite a bit to keep up with what with the forum being so large. In pre op I know you...
