PureCajunSunshine Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Can ya just picture the pair of them together...telling the docs where to get off at? This would be a sight to behold. <---Darlene, telling doctors and nurses how it's gonna be... <---Westie, telling Drs. Jekyll & Hyde what one of the many side effects of a goat castrating procedure would look like on a human male. All kidding aside, Westie dear...you are so loved! Many, many prayers are going up! Thanks for keeping us posted... Much love, hugs and prayers, Sharon Quote Link to post
Mt_Rider Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Darlene and LunaMother......y'know...it might not be a good idea to make Westie laugh so hard when she reads this thread! See this guy ----> does he look like he's holding onto his tummy for dear life? I was just thinking that the guy on the stretcher was the RN who missed her vein.... Seriously Westie, I'm glad you liked the oncologist. One NEEDS confidence in the doc who will mess around with one's innards. Will be praying for that doc/team and for you. MtRider Quote Link to post
quiltys41 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I'll be hanged if Darlene and Westie don't both sound like a couple of old nurses!! Dilaudid was probably the pain med..only thing I can think of that would come close...think synthetic morphine okay...I really hope all goes good with the surgery and will be keeping you close in prayer girl!

westbrook Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 they gave me fake morphine? it felt like morphine! does nothing for the pain, makes it hard to focus on an object, feels warm and a bit overwhelming at they are putting it in.. 3 seconds later I wished they hadn't. yeah that is the stuff! .... fake morphine! now I am really mad! like what I wasn't good enough for the real stuff? I had to drive home on morphine last year. I was in shock.. they give me this stuff (IV) and 2 hours later send me home! never asked me how I was getting home or who was driving! ME! hard for me to believe people like this stuff... yuck! a nice half gallon of chocolate ice cream all to my self is nice. Quote Link to post

MomM Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Oh Westie, what can I say? I am so sorry that your treatment has not been "stellar" to say the least. It does sound like Dr. Jekyll and the oncologist are worth keeping. My prayers are with you and will continue to be with you, and so is our love for you. Quote Link to post

Evergreen Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Still praying! I am also praying for Doctors and staff -mainly to have some common sense. And that you would not just be a # but a case they take special interest in. I am sorry you are in there and hope they will release you so you can recover quickly and comfortably at home. I am a terrible patient too -that is why I have not bee to hospital in 10 years since last DS -and if I had it to do over I would have had him at home! Quote Link to post
PureCajunSunshine Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Gotta share a funny with ya'll... Westie PMd me about 30 minutes ago and told me she was printing out a map to the hospital, and off she'd go. As a parting shot she said: "...wonder if they will let me keep it? sell it on ebay! " Quote Link to post
lunamother Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 well, clearly- as a resourceful woman, it goes against the grain to just throw something away that's only been used once Quote Link to post
mom11 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I know this is silly, but I keep praying that when they get "in there," they will just find a big, ole ugly fibroid. I had a friend and they though she had ovarian cancer too, but it was a fibroid near the ovary. Westie could probably keep THAT! She is so precious and doesn't deserve all this. We are praying, we just can't stop! Quote Link to post
