on this set of Macs I never get the smilies so I couldn't find the "Yeild Sign"' on the Message icon......so tried the vB code......in the thread opening [ i see it didn't work]
My sis had to have emrgency surgery yesterday.
I only found out this mid-morning when a long-time mutual friend called.
It was for a condition - a bio-mechanical situation that can cause [and did] illness and in her case emrgency surgery [or worse] if not dealt with in time.
Our mutual friend after piecing together what she heard from my sis, 2 other friends of my sis [i know] and what I told her today---thinks it's possible that with her high pain tolerance and perhaps in denial did NOT tell her specialist ALL the symptons.... becuase she'd been getting sick on & off for several months.....we had to cancel our 4th of July plans because she'd had THE worse up until yesterday.......OTHRWEWISE he would have hauled her off to the hospital way sooner.
She IS !!! thank the Powers!!! doing quite well under the circumstances - one of her friends {a nurse} was there when i called her cellphone {the friend} to find out when i could speak to her at length , and get her professional take on it.
AND of course there is the Recovery Period which may be not a short one IF the last time [which was NOT an emergency but nearing urgency at the time] is any indicator, and earlier on the risk of infection, accidents possible causing stitches to open etc....
...... and then doing what she has to do - some serious lifestyle adjustemnts- in order for her to really REDUCE the risk of this happening again.
Plus we have to tell our mom at some point in a ferw days (?). SHe'll probably handle it ok, but she's not totally in the best of health so.....
I have to keep MY worrying to a minimum, whisch is a genuine problem for me at times so i can be there for her.
But there are maybe 3 things ...one I really can't do...because of how my shoulder accident healed up.....holsding/moving people around in ceirtain postions [them & me}. the 2nd.....I'd have to sleep in her room b/c she doesn't have a/c in the living room and she's on the TOP floor of a 'tarbeach' [blasck tar- not the NEWER white paint w rlecting mica or something that reduces the heat by 10 - 15 degrees F...yeah really! it's an oven in there in the summer above 85 F] .
The other......I hope i don't have to do b/c I really don't feel competent to deal with it. Hopefully as in the past she'll have a Home Health Aide to help her in those 2 areas. ray: ray: ( OOooppss I forgot I hhave to use the CAP 'P' on the 'pray' smilie!)
ANY way.......phheeewww.........:wipesbrow:
hadn't had time to talk to any of MY here in the city friends yet b/c I had something really important I HAD to get done myself today....which is why I am here where I am anyway.....but it then helped me to get this message out to those concerned faster. SORRY FOR THE LENGTH.
THANKS in Advance! BIG S
I'll chec k in either later tonight after i see her or [she did NOT sound like she wanted me there other friends are visiying - but I'm sure she wantas me to get some stuff from her apt or maybe check some things in her apt~ which I am glad to be able to do for her.
Or I'LL CHECK IN TOMORROW.
TTFN : )
