Kathy's (BirdingRVer) Surgery - Update - Montana Owners Club

BirdingRVer · 01-29-2009, 02:05 AM

Wednesday was a good day for Kathy. They took her off of all of the IVs and the dreaded nose tube was removed. She was able to have soup and Jell-O for lunch. She was also able to walk down the hall of the hospital without being too tired.

Her doctor is very happy with her progress and says that she will be out of the hospital no later than Friday.

I moved our 5th wheel to Blythe this morning so she will have full hookups when she gets home and will be close to the hospital should something unforeseen happen.

We will be staying in Blythe until Kathy’s doctor says she can travel but, will be staying here at least a few weeks for her to regain her strength.

Hi Everybody,

Thank you so much for your good wishes and prayers, I'm back "home" in our Montana! But Grant kept me up to date with your kind comments!! Thank goodness we were only 30 miles from the nearest hospital and not 300!! What with all of our travels through so many places that we in the middle of no where, it could have been very disasterous! It was a fine hospital, but it's a lot quieter in the campground with full hook ups than a hospital!!! How the heck are you suppose to get any rest if they're waking you up every 4 hours poking a prodding you?!

Raider was incredulous as I came through the door. He just stood there, wagged his tail but his ears were back. The expression on his face was, "Where the hell have you been? Do you know Dad had to feed me, take me for my walks and you're off who knows where?!!!

Oh man,I was going through withdrawls not having email access for almost a week!!! It is amazing how so many people, even those we haven't even met, left such kind good wishes. From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Grant is doing an amazing job on laundry detail and groceries all by himself!

Ah, now for my favorite Lazy Boy and really rest!

Kathy

Kathy, it's so nice to hear from you and now that you are back home. Take it easy and let Grant continue with the laundry and meals!!!!!!

Warm regards,

Jo-Anna and David

Grant, Sharon and I are so happy to hear that Kathy is doing so well. I'm sure it's a great relief to her to have a target date for leaving the dreaded hospital. Blythe may not be the recreation capital of the world, but it's got to offer a lot more than hospital corridors.
We sure hope you'll be in Siskiyou this year so we can get to see more of you.

Give our best wishes to Kathy.

Bob and Sharon

Wow Kathy, it looks like they let you go earlier than what was projected. How great is that! Take it easy in that recliner, let Grant do all the work, and concentrate on your recovery.

Hopefully we will get to see you again here in AZ/CA.

That's wonderful news Kathy. We're sure glad you're doing so well.Those hospital beds really suck don't they? Why don't you just lay around, tell Grant how bad you feel and see how long you can keep him doing everything for you.

Mrs. CountryGuy · 01-30-2009, 03:02 AM

WAHHOOOO

Rest, and feel better, SOON!!

MelsJoy · 01-30-2009, 03:55 AM

Kathy,
great to hear your back in the Saddle again! Take it easy and rest up! Grant, I'll bet it's nice to have her home with you again. Take care of each other.
