said a little prayer for god to guide his hand, it kinda made me feel safe. all went well but i have a longer incision than they thought, my hand has swollen to almost 3 times its normal size but as long as i'm still it doesnt hurt, but when i move it;s not much fun. my cats keep stepping on my arm and making me cry. i think they are trying to make it better. i'll be fine soon at least the scarey part is over, i can handle the pain, me ex beat me often enough that i kinda got used to it. my huuby has been teriffic, even running around in the middle of the night naked getting ice for my arm. see i had a floor show! hahahahahaouch thanks for the prayers....

You certainly have not lost your sense of humour. I am so sorry you are in so much pain. I am sure that your kittys are trying to make you better. Get well soon. Hugs Sarah.

I'm glad that you get rid of the X, & found a new man who sounds like a loving & caring one! No-one should have to live with abuse! It is never acceptable! I wish you God Speedy recovery!

Thinking about you and praying for a speedy recovery!!

Praise the Lord! For wonderful doctor that ask the Lord for wisdom before surgery. We will pray for a fast recovery.

I don't know what surgery you had but make sure you keep good capillary refill in your nails and can wiggle and feel with those figers. You don't want to end up with compartment syndrome. 3 times normal size is pretty swollen. Hope you recover quickly. Good luck!

So sweet. I am glad you had a Christian doctor. Enough said!

prayers and hugs

So glad your surgery went well and to hear your Dr. prayed thumbs up for him.....I always feel better when I have a Christian Dr.....bless your hubby for being such a big help (he sounds so much nicer than the first)....being a cat lover I can just see your fur babies walking on you.....I will be praying for a swift recovery and oh yeah stay off your bike until you are completely healed....Gods blessings to you and your hubby....Janet

Get well soon. I know that God was watching over you and also know what it is like to have a sore arm. I broke mine a few weeks ago and it still aches. Will be glad to get the plaster cast off as the weather is hot and humid where I live. Keep smiling

Wonderful that the anxiety is over! Now, it's time to
rest and heal! A nice experience to hear your doctor ask for the Lord's help in doing your surgery well. I see too many doctors that are arrogant, too full of "themselves", and do not like to be asked questions. Yours is quite exceptional! I am happy the surgery is over. The pain and soreness will pass in a few days. Heat pad felt much better to my arm after surgery, and seemed to help aleviate a lot of the pain; the first few days especially. I know ice packs are recommended for
swelling, but the cold made my pain worse. Hang in there, you will be good as new soon!!

I am still praying for you our biker mom!!carolyn

So glad you are in good spirits and enjoying the floor show.LOL.
A wonderful ice pack are little bags of frozen peas, make a few bags then rotate them from the freezer.They mould around the swollen area.
Rest up nicely!

Karen, so glad to hear that the doctor said a prayer with you - do whatever it takes to get well fast - recovery isn't easy - but you will mend if you do what the doctor orders. *4U

Good to hear you're on the road to recovery. May your body remember well how to recover fast and well! Enjoy the 'nursing' while it lasts :)

HAppy to hear youa re home and safe. Keep the arm rested and be good so it will heal. Take time for you. Helen

Glad to hear the scary part is over! Cats, go figure, they have their own way of showing love (?), lol. And you got a floor show too, what more could a girl ask for? Hope the pain is gone soon and you are good as new!

So glad for the update. Take care and hope the pain goes soon. Hugs Yvonne

We hope ;you get to feeling better really soon. I am glad that you are through the worst part of it, and will soon be on the mend. You just take it easy - your quilts will wait on you.

Very cute Anita!

So glad that things went well . Hang in there!
Hugs, Nadyne

Good to have an update. Everyone has been asking how you are doing. Do everything the doctor says and he'll be back embroidering real soon. Speedy recovery for you!!

So glad you got through it all with a sense of humour. You had a lovely dr. and that makes things so much easier.
Hope you get better soon, and no more accidents.
Hugs and God bless

Glad you are doing well. It was so pleasant to hear of a doctore praying. I love it. Would make me feel secure too. Love the visual os the hubby running around naked. I will have to try to get my hubby to do that next time he is my nurse. HA HA Take care Suzanne

Wow, that was quite a visual! I could see your naked man and these cats and ice cubes! Ha he heee. Anyway. I'm glad the surgery is over and now it is all healing and getting better and being spoiled. If you have cats, and a hubby who is willing to pamper you, you will make it. Just don't try to do too much too soon. Hugs and more prayers. Jan

glad you have some humor in your oweee time...Hope you heal fast and glad it went well....loves deanna

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery....and the kitties just seem to know where to step where it hurts the most!! I think they think they are doing accupressure...LOL...glad the pre-surgery jitters are over and now you can concentrate on healing!

Maybe it should be called kittypressure :-). I used to have the kitties lay on my belly when I had the cramps.

It's too early in the morning for such mind-boggling news such as a naked ice-seeking man running around your bedroom but I'm so glad that you are on the other side of your surgery now and that you are on the mend. Also I'm so impressed that the doctor asked for guidance to do his very best for you.
Here's wishing you continued and complete recovery....

You've changed your pic today, Alma -and looking quite angelic too, I might add! Nearly time for you to travel back home?

Hang in there kiddo, you'll soon be back at the embroidery machine creating all sorts of wonders again! Hope you have a speedy recovery! *4U and hugs too!

So happy you are over the worst part and now on the mend. It may be worth it to get the nighttime hoochy-coochy dance.;)

Wishing you a very speedy and complete recovery. Please tell your hubby that we think he is great for taking such good care of you. Love and Hugs. ***

This is a get will wish for you! Hope you feel better soon. DeVon

Karen, I am glad you are in good hands. I was worried about you and even asked last night if anyone had heard from you! Glad the operation is over and you are now in the healing stage! As for your late night entertainment, all I have to say is that if if keeps your spirits up, let hubby continue to do "off the wall" things. heehee I am sure that the meds will also keep you in a "out of it" state of mind for a few days and maybe by then the pain will subside alot! Keep us posted. By the way, I had confidence in the Dr. but I was worried about you because you were in such a down state of mind when you last posted. Just think of how much better you will feel when it has healed! Many blessings and little pain! Linda

So happy that doctor prayed for the both of you so that you were more confident about the surgery. Sorry you're having so much pain and your cats stepping on you is not helping that situation at all, but you're their mom and they're looking after you...so they think. Will be praying for your speedy recovery, in the meantime enjoy the floor show.

So good to hear that you will soon be on the mend. Take good care of yourself, take those pain pills to keep the pain under control AND set back and enjoy the floor show!

How nice for the Dr. to pray with you. That helps put your mind at ease. Hope the pain goes away soon. Know you are cared about and prayers to you for a speedy recovery. *4U
