I went back to see the surgeon today and I have torn the sutures under my left arm where he had tried to repair a huge hole left from previous lymph node removal.

Please Please Please -- do NOT become a couch potato -- you will lose all your strength and then REALLY be a vegetable. I believed everyone that said don't lift anything heavier than a teacup for the 6 weeks after my hyst. -- and now I *can't* lift anything heavier than a teacup (ok, so my coffee mug is slightly heavier...)
luv, Liz / Calgary

Oh Meg! What else can I say, Don't browbeat yourself, what is done is done, just keep looking forward. Your constantly in my prayers.

I tried to tell her , BUT NO would you listen? But hey today was great and it was easy for you. Hope you enjoyed today as much as I , Thanks heaps Meg I really do appreciate you are helping me . :) :) :)

Had a lovely day, still giggling over listening to your various squeals of delight and wails of woe as you learnt the new programs. LOLOLOL!!!!!

Glad I could help, only wish I could give hands on help to all Cuties who need a hand.

Thanks for picking me up, I couldn't imagine trying to drive for a while.

Very early night tonight and phoning Optician tomorrow.

C U soon, Hugs n love, SIS

Meganne
Learn the lesson well and BE GOOD.
Patience is not one of my strong points so I will just wish you well soon.

Helen

Unfortunately it is the only way of learning sometimes Meg.. but can understand why you did it, considering no pain..now take care.

Oh, Sweetie - it is hard to hear what you have had to go through. Our best friend's daughter was dianosed with BC recently and is now going through the Chemo. But, you are a fighter and we know that you can do it. Just take care, OK?

Chemo is the pits, but tell her the reward at the end is worth it.
To join the Survivors Club and be able to count off each year of membership.
That sure is one heck of a great feeling!!!
Hugs n love, Meganne

Meg I am so sorry but we are going to pray that this time is going to be a super fast recovery, and remember God is always in control.

Hi Meganne
so so sorry for you xxxx
Take it easy - it is difficult at times, BUT you really must learn to be a "COUCH POTATOE" belive me its so so easy LOL
Get well soon Meganne HugsKarma xxx

So sorry Meg, I hope you heal real fast, now REST! REST! REST! WE ALL NEED YOU!!!!

Oh Meg, Hope you heal fast. I do things like that all the time. Don't be so hard on yourself. When you feel good you feel like doing things. You take care.
Lyn 0:) Hugs and Blessings!

Meganne,

Stop kicking yourself most of us will do what ever we can when we are feeling good (no pain) and then regret when to pain floods in again.
Just remember for next time! Lesson learnt! Hugs Sally

Sweetie, get better soon!
God Bless you...

Hugs

Listen to your Docs! :)

Take it easy and don't do anything that you have to lift over 8ounces, Okay I know that is a little harsh, but take care of yourself if you don't nobody else will. Be careful so you can heal and do the things you love most. Sara God Bless You!!!****4u

You have been just wonderful through all of this and You should not be upset with yourself over a very common mistake. You were only trying to get your life back to normal and enjoy the things that you could enjoy. Just take it a bit more easy than you have been doing and we will all pray for you to heal even as it is now. I am sure you have some great Drs. but only you and the Lord have control over your healing. Now that you realize what can happen, I am sure that you will go out of your way to take it easy. The Lord has not brought you this far just to see you have more problems than you can handle. We certainly do not think you were stupid! It is very easy and natural for you to want to do all the things that you have not felt doing for so long. Please stay on the positive side and just take care of yourself now. May the Lord bless you and keep you in his loving hands. Hugs, Linda

Meganne, hang in there. Will continue to lift you up in prayer. God Bless, Judy *4U

Take care sweetie, hugs Lisa

Meg You take care

Hi Meganne, Hope you are better soon.

I am sorry to hear about the torn sutures...that probably does put you back a few steps! But, you gotta "just roll with the punches" and do take it easy - Bunches of hugs to you!!!!Laura*

I'm so sorry. I know it's hard to stay put especially when you've been down for so long. Hang in there for the long haul!

Meg,I am praying for you but at the same time i understand why ,Why you would do such a thing because that 's just what we will do.Anyways praying for you & yours love as always Carolyn

Meg I'm so sorry but sometimes we make mistakes. You need not browbeat yourself. You didn't know & I know what it's like to suddenly have a day when you feel fantastic. You think u can lick the world. Time will heal & you will feel that way again. I know patience is hard to come by(that's something I lack) but it is going to take that to let yourself get completely well. Lillian

So sorry to hear this bad news Meg, but please don't kick yourself - you may do more damage!! Just try to "chill out" like jrob's adorable kitty and give yourself time to heal. Cheers!

oh dear , stop kicking yourself, you've learnt the hard way. So just try to be patient and give yourself time to recover.I dont think it was astupid reaction, I suppose most of us would do it. but one thing is sure; you will not do so anymore. But if you want to get your mind of things here's another challenge for you.(drive out the yellow car=see link)

Well, I have done the same thing before. It doesn't help to beat yourself up.....you learned a valuable lesson and maybe this happened to prevent something worse. This is what you should do for a while.....

What an adorable picture!

by melita 30 Mar 2010

Super cute. I love it. I have a cat just like it.

by kezza2sew 31 Mar 2010

Oh I do so need to see something funny, as I sit with sad heart over my daughter who is not pleasing me or herself at the moment... just a little utrmoil in our life. Why do young ones not see the big picture untill it is too late...

by kezza2sew 31 Mar 2010

I mean turmoil, cannot even think straight.

by meganne 31 Mar 2010

Oh Kez, I do hope it isn't too serious.
I'm afraid the young ones these days are just not the same as we were at their age.
Hugs n roses, Meg

by meganne 31 Mar 2010

Oh and love the pic Jerrilyn, I have three cats who would love to be allowed access to my laptop. The closest they get is to sleep on my right hand, makes it very difficult to type at times. hehehehehe!!!
hugs n roses, M

Hi Meganne, so sorry to hear your news. I expect that you are in the same situation as many others. It is very difficult to do nothing at all. Many years ago I fell 20 feet heavily on to my back and caused problems. The thought of lying about doing nothing for ages and ages if not longer was awful but in life all often works out well in the long run. So good luck and do take care, there are loads of us from aroud the world to keep a virtual eye on you and will keep nagging you to take care

sooooo sorry to hear this :(
I am going back for my 4th surgery in 2 weeks. and knowing that i will do NOTHING for months after is soooo hard :(
hugs

Dear Meganne, I have not well understand what happens to you, if it is a new surgery, I hope that all will be well, and I wish to you a fast recovery.Hugs Claude

You poor girl...I can just feel what you are going through (been there..done that),however just look at the bright side...you can play with your machine,digitize,talk to us and "SMELL THE ROSES!!!"
Hugs,Nadyne

Meganne, U'll be better soon! I'll pray to God to heal you soon! (my english is poor, but my heart is sincere!)

Oh Meganne, so sorry to hear this.
You are on my prayer list, and I will continue to pray for your recovery.
Hugs Yvonne

So sorry to hear Meganne that you are having complications. It's only human to want to be able to do things that we have put off for so long once we start to feel a bit better. Allow yourself the time to heal properly even though you feel well enough to do things. Please remember to take care of YOU! You are worth it :)

My thoughts and prayers are with you Meganne hope you heal quickly.

Oh Meganne, I am so sorry. What a horrible consequence for being human. Wish we could all be there to give you gentle hugs.

Meg, you're not stupid, just human. Hugs ****

I've been there. When you finally feel good you just don't realize the damage/harm you can do to yourself. There really is a reason the doctors say "Don't do" whatever for however long. I feel for you big time. Hang in there and remember this lesson. It happened for a reason and I'm sure there is someone out there that you are supposed to pass it on to.
Hugs and rosses right back at ya!
Mickey

Not going to say a word... not going to do it... nope, not me...

okay, I just can't hold it back!!!!! MEGANNE!!!!! Do we ALL have to fly down there and hog tie you to the couch? We love you silly goose. Stay down and get better. THEN you can flaunt the new you around. :-) lol

I am collecting ropes, chains and the like. Meganne I am not doing so good with my weight. I am threading to sit on you. Now take it easy and get better soon.

Sometimes the only way to learn these things is by experience. I'm so sorry for your pain and additional surgery, but this too will pass. My prayers are with you for a full recovery and relief from pain.
Like Yoriko, I expect that we all wish we lived nearby to give you a hug. Don't blame yourself for this, as we cannot undo the past, only make improvements in the future.
God bless you!
Love,
Jacqueline

Oh, Meg, I'm so sorry to hear that! And I just wrote I worry about you in last night PM...if I lived nearby, I would never let you move a single muscle! You are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you, Yoriko

I feel badly for you...don't kick yourself to hard. Probably about 95% of us would have overdone things also...it's hard not to when you feel "normal" or "healed". Hugs back at you Meganne! ~Rita

Oh Meganne, this is soo unfortunate! I can imagine how you blame yourself! I also never stop beating myself over the head if I had done something I think I shouldn't...Hoping for a speedy, full recovery with no pain and that #10 will be the FINAL and very successful one!

If I wasn't worried that it might cause more damage I would suggest Ray put you over his knee and give you a good spanking Meganne...you silly billy, when are you going to learn that you are not SuperWoman, for goodness sake girl take it easy, stop and smell the roses, lay back and read a good book !!! Seriously Meg, do take it easy and rest PLEASE !!! hugs and much love Glenda x0x0x0x

Oh Meganne, what a disappointment! Another operation, that's a hard way to learn to take it easy!
I hope you only use your right arm to move a mouse or lift a glass of something nice!!

Hugs and bunches of roses, Martine

Oh Meganne. I am so sorry for your difficulties. It just seems like enough should be enough doesn't it. Hang in there. Thinking of you, Sandy
